agency has been given a title of Civil
Works Administration, its activities
would be administered by the force now
under the relief administrator and would
cost little extra to operate. He said
the various local agencies of the States
and cities and counties engaged in the
new work will be known as Civil Works
Divisions.
The projects on which the workers
will be used will include not only the
type on which work relief is now being
given, but also wide range Of en-
ployment in activities bordering on but
not covered in the province of the Pub
lie Works Administration.
This expanded field, the President
pointed out, will enable the local civic
works divisions to undertake consider
ably more construction and to use
greater quantities OF construction ma
terials. In this connection, he en-
phasized the fact that work relief has
been limited almost entirely to work
involving a minimum amount of ma
terials, since expenditure OF emergency
relief funds under this method was
necessarily confined to relief allowances
in the form of work-relief wages.
Hopkins said the Civil Works Admin
iStration would set up Immediately from
the existing State relief organizations
State civil works administrations to get
the program working Immediately.
Works are to be undertaken under
the general heading Of pest control,
park and playground improvement
sanitation, highways. streets and roads,
waterworks, general public improve
mentS, work on utilities and public
structures, handling of relief supplies
and professional and clerical employ
ment
Under the present control will come
work to combat grasshopperS, in those
areas where this pest has become a
serious economic menace; rats and
mosquitoes.
Playground work includes construc-
IN of swimming pools golf courses
md other recreation facilities, and
throughout the entire program public
works that can be started Immediately
will be undertaken.
Mr.. Hopkins revealed that a Civil
Works Administration will be set up
for the District and such work as can
be done under the program will be
taken up here. He did not name any
specific projects, but said speed is a
great factor in getting the program

The new relief set-up is being formed

| few days.
Hopkins emphasized that none of the
work undertaken by the Civil Works
Administration will be by contract. He
said that it will be supervised by the
local engineers and the prevailing wages
| for skilled and unskilled labor will be
| paid in every community.
The creation of this new plan was
| decided upon at the meeting yesterday
of the Presidents Executive Council,
which Is made up OF members of his
cabinet and the heads of the various
| recovery and relief agencies. The de-
tails were worked out by Hopkins in
connection with Secretary Ickes, public
works administrator.

utility projects were approved at yes
terday's election in widely separated
cities, while like projects involving sew
eral millions were voted down in six
municipalities.

toned on grants from the Federal Pub
lie Works Administration The largest
item In the total was $12,095, 900 for

opened the way for San Francisco to sell
electric power.

Of $l0.00e,00 municipal light plant
by q vote Of 2l2 to !, and Columbus.
Ohio, voters, ON the basis of incomplete

expand the municipal light plant.
Four other Ohio cities, however, ex-
pressed an opposite view to that shown
by voters of the State capital. Gin
cinnati defeated proposal to take over
gas and electric plants; Youngstown ap-
parently turned down a projected $780,

distribution system; Akron apparently
defeated a proposal to buy light plant,
and Washington Court House defeated
a 100000 bond issue for city water
works.

DICKINSON URGES
N.RA. ABANDONING
Iowa COP. Senator Charges
1t STILES Initiative and
RetardS Recovery.

Senator Dickinson, Iowa Republican,
yesterday urged immediate abandon
ment of the national recovery act,
charging it stiles individual initiative
and is retarding Americas economic
recovery.
England has advanced more rapidly
and more steadily without such a pro-
gram" he told newspaper men. $50
has France"
Denying the N. r. A. has abolished
child labor and sweat shops, the key
noter of the 1882 Republican Conven-
ton said provisions against those
practices are in the codes all right, but
nobody is observing them. It's like
prohibition"
He said figures used by the admins
tration to show 100000 persons had
been put back to work were taken at
q peak time and included temporary
employment which has since been lost.
If people have been re-employed,
why are we spending more money for
unemployment relief than ever before?'
he asked.
Sees Ford Victory.
Referring to the controversy between
Henry Ford and recovery officials. Dick
inson predicted the automobile magnate
would show up" the N r. A.
He said unfavorable reaction to the
Democratic program is becoming in
creasingly evident in Iowa and other
farm States, but he declined to COM
ment on the administrations plan for
agricultural recovery.
While approving reasonable" pub
lie works program, Dickinson said the
So, 800 000,00 program was unsound
and "a third Of the money will be
wasted
People are being encouraged to bor-
row money to build things they don't
need" he claimed. Nobody can afford
to do that"
Another comment on the N r. A.
yesterday came from Rosita Forbes
writer and traveller. and sister to the
first secretary of the British embassy
| who termed it 'the primrose path to
painless socialism" in talk before
the Women's National Press Club. She
likened the Blue Eagle to the Red
Eagle of Russia, and said she hoped
they both might stand, in future ages,
! for Maeterlinck's Blue Bird of Happi-
ness"

TIME inner coterie of soothsayers
have Mr. Roosevelt's money
policy all figured out.
Il AS they see it, the President
is proving to be his own best
financial adviser. They think he has
locked Just little further ahead at the
situation than the muddled experts who
swarm about him.
These seers are betting their money
that the, President will not do any
thing important about the currency be-
fore Congress meets.
Then he iuiH be able to play each
congressional money faction against
the other and get the soaHdeSt So
luton out OF all OF them.
They do not guarantee that predic-
ton. but they can now see. for the first
time. how it would be wise and sensible.
Simple Solution Seen.
1t is such a simple solution that the
smart boys wonder why they never
thought of it.
The infiationists have been agitating
for one course The devaluatlonlStS
have been demanding another. The
silver bloc has been pulling for its pet
theories. And the alarmists have been
running around crying about what

Urges Re.Empolyment.
The employment situation took an
other turn when E. Claude Babcock
president of the American Federation
Of Government Employees, sent letters
to all departments and independent es-
Establishments asking that they follow
the instructions of the President and
hire new personnel from the re-employ-
ment registers of the Civil Service Com
mission.
Babcock said his organization would
acquiesce to the request of the Civil
Service Reinstatement League. which
last night, at a meeting in Thomson
School, voted to seek support of Federal
employe unions in their effort to find
employment in the new agencies for
civil service workers who have lost out
in various retrenchment moves.

seek the conference with the organized
group before the convening of Congress.
it was said by Miss Eleanor Nelson. who
was elected chairman of the league.
The league also decided to call on
Director Douglas of the budget to as
certain his findings, if any, regarding
the failure of some of the new establish
ments to comply with President Roose-
velt's instructions and hire dismissed
civic service workers when they need
new personnel
Advice from the White House is that

registers to see Just what the situation
is here. While the registers now con-

dred of these represent field workers
The known unemployment IS about
1,100.
The league also heard last night of
the recent visit of representatives of the
Civil Service Commission in an attempt
to get line on the unemployment sit
uation and was advised, as had pre-
viously been announced, that the COM

ANY course Mr.. Roosevelt might

horns. If he keeps a rein on them he
