While no definite set-up for per-
sonnel in the public works ad-
ministration has been provided,
plans are under way for as small
a staff as possible in the admins
tration offices here, it was learned
today.
Employees will be selected from
persons who have lost their jobs
in other Federal departments.
Civil service requirements will not
be necessary.
It also was learned that. due to
the temporary set-up of the ad-
ministration, so employees with
civil service ratings have been
dismissed from the agency.
Col. Donald H. Sawyer. public
works administrator, is the only
one in the administration who
has been definitely appointed and
his appointment is temporary.

HEADQUARTERS
At 14TH AND
G STREETS
Neither District National or
Any of Its Branches
Will Be Used

Officials of the new Hamilton
National Bank are planning to
operate eight branches in addi.
ton to the headquarters at Four.
teenth and G Streets Northwest,
it was learned today.
Although official confirmation
was not forthcoming today, it
was reliably reported that the
headquarters of the Federal
American National Bank & Trust
Co. will be the headquarters for
the new $1,250,000 !lctitution
and that three of this banks
branches will be operated as
branches of the new bank.
Three to Be Closed
Neither the District National
Bank nor it's two branches, one
at Connecticut Avenue and K
Street Northwest and the other
at Ninth Street and New York
Avenue Northwest, will be used.
Other bank buildings which will
not be used by the Hamilton are
the washington Savings Bank
and the FederalAmerfcan branch
at Fifteenth and H Streets North
west. The latter building was for.
merly the home of the Merchants
Bank and Trust Company before
it merged with the Federal-Amer-
ican.
Bank buildings to be used as
branches, it is said, will be the
Dupont Circle, Brookland, and
Twentieth Street and Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Northwest, branches
of the FederalAmerican; the Po-
tomac Savings, Northeast Savings,
Woodridge-Langdon Savings and
the Seventh Street Savings Bank
buildings.
Conservators of the member
banks in the merger will be "segre.
gated" so far as possible from the
new bank activities. John Poole,
conservator of the Federal-Amer.
ican, will probably move with his
staff either to a discarded branch
building or to the old American
Bank Building.
Successors Yet Unnamed
Although Joshua Evans, jr.,
conservator of the District Ma
tional Bank, and conservators of
two or three other member banks
will probably be named officers in
the new Hamilton, their suc-
cessors have not been named.
Treasury officials have stated
that bankers will not be officers
in the new bank and conservatorS
of "old" at the same time.
Methods to be used in handling
"Set-off" situations in the re-
stricted banks were outlined by
Treasury officials at a meeting Of
the conservators yesterday.
There are "a thousand and one
variations" of the Set-off prob
lens, Treasury officials state. A
4O-page booklet has been COM
piled setting forth the known
variations.

HUNGER STRIKE
0FF;F0RESTER
GETS CATE
'Agitator' Discharged at Camp
Roosevelt; Ice Cream
Tales Stirred Men

One recruit has been ousted
and the rest of the men have
gone back to work today at
Camp Roosevelt reforestation
project near Luray, Va, it was
reported at Third Corps Area
headquarters. No more trouble
in connection with the threat
ened hunger strike is expected,
the officers declare.
Capt. Leo Donovan, camp COM
mander, made a telephone report
to Lieut.. Col. j. c. Pegram, as
sistant chief of staff, today declar'
ing the disturbance completely
ouelled and that the charge that
the food was not up to standard
had been investigated and found
to be without foundation.
Col. A. H. Baskette and Major
Leon Logan, inspector for the
Third Corps Area, who happened
to be at the camp Sunday when
the disturbance occurred, both
backed up Captain Donovan's re-
port as to the excellence Of the
food.
"AgitatOr" Discharged
According to the report William
Weaver, of Washington, known
as an "agitator," has been dis
charged and is on his way back
to Washington. Transportation
was offered him but refused.
The. other three Washington
men involved in the trouble, Ken
meth Ruhl, Eugene Marshall and
Charles Sacrey, have been rein
stated. Ruhl and Marshall have
been reported back at work, but
Sacrey is said to be "a. w. o. L."
Captain Donovan Investigated
Weaver's complaints against food
and, he says, found them I'M
founded. He then told the men to
go back to work. The men had
quieted down when the sheriff at
woodstock, Va, who had heard OF
the trouble, arrived at the camp.
Threw Tear Bomb
Captain Donovan assured him
that all was peaceful and the
sheriff was on the point of leav-
ing when a group of the men sur
rounded his car. They refused to
leave until the sheriff threw tear
gas bomb into their midst. They
then dispersed.
Captain Donovan believes the
men were aroused by stories told
them at Skyland that the Roose-
velt camp mess was saving $400
on their food. The Skyland camp
served the visitors ice cream,
which further aroused their re-
sentiment against their own SUI
periors.

This Relief AdUice
Must Have Done
Lot of Good

Harry L. Hopkins, Federal
emergency relief administrator,
frequently has some mighty
queer experiences in the pur-
suit of his duties. But here's a
story that gave him a laugh.
When he first came on the
job, before he realized that the
number of relief cases writing
to him would mount into the
hundreds each day, he wrote a
personal letter to a gentleman
who complained that the mort
gage on his home had been
foreclosed.
Hopkins promptly answered
his letter, giving him the name
of the local administrator and
advising him to get in touch
with him. Came the answer:
That's the SO-and-SO who
put me out of my house"

RETURNS
FROM CRUISE

President Roosevelt, who is
cruising off the New England
coast line, is in splendid health
and spirits, according to Stephen
Early, one of the Presidents sec
retaries, who returned this morn
ing to his desk at the Executive
offices, flying here from Boston,
Mass.
Early said that the President is
thoroughly enjoying every minute
of his stay but is in constant
touch with official affairs.
Early said he was not sure
when the President would return,
but thought it would be about
July 3 or 4.

Farm Bureau Head Proposes
Producers to Give More

A bombShell was dropped into
the sugar conference here today
when Chester H. Gray, spokesman
for the American Farm Bureau
Federation, assailed proposals to
limit production of American
sugar to stabilize world sugar
production.
Instead of bringing world pro-
ducers into a plan to allocate the
American market, the Farm Re
lief Administration, he said,
should proceed to help American
producers get more Of the do
mestic market.
Gray's speech followed ad-
dresses by Charles j. Brand, CO.
administrator of the farm relief
act, and DR.. John Lee Coulter,
tariff commissioner, urging all
sugar interests to make sacrifices
to stabilize conditions.
Representatives of Cuba, HAWAII,
Puerto Rico, and the Philippines,
all of whom sell in the American
market, heard Gray's speech.

much damage has been done to the

is uncovered. As soon as the spring

Women for National Defense.

A navy equal to any in the world and
an army of sufficient strength to guar
antee the security of the country will
be sought for the United States by the
women's patriotic organizations, ac-
cording to Ira Rasmussen, chairman
of the National Defense Committee of
the Libby Unit of the American Le-
gion Auxiliary,
The local Auxiliary Unit, in cooper
alton with other local patriotic organi-
cations. will sponsor national defense
activities here. Special national defense
meetings at which the findings of the
national conference will be explained
and the need for adequate defensive
forces discussed are being planned.
"One of the principal. purposes of the
women's national defense campaign will
be to draw public attention to the
weakness of the United States navy"
Mrs. Rasmussen explained AT the
conference in Washington our delegates
learned that the American navy today
has only 101 underage shius, cnrnnared
with 1873 for Great Britain. 1s4 for
Japan, 124 for France. and 95 for Italy
BY the end of 1886. unless new shiDs
ere built for our navy, we will have IN
cruisers, airplane carriers. destroyers
and submarines but SO underaRe ships,
compared with $50 for Great Britain,
Isl for Japan. 159 for France and III
for Italy. We are urging construction
of new war ships at once unless the
ratio of navy strength provided by
treaty can be re-established through
reductions in the fleets of the other
powers.
I'VE are also urging that adequate
land defenses be provided through
carrying out the provision of the Ma
tional Defense Act This act was PASSED
bv Congress in 1920 when the lessons
of the World War were fresh but b.
cause of curtailed appropriations its
provisions have never been carried out
fully. 1t provides for regular army OF
$500 men, national guard of ap-
proximately 100000, an officers reserve
corps of sufficient strength to officer
war armies and civilian training ac-
tivites We feel that the carving out
of this act and the maintenance of a
navy as strong as any other in the
world are essential to the peace and
security of America"
