CITY HEADS T0F|LE
PUBLIC WORK LIST
Three Schools and GaI|inger
Addition Are Expected to
Be Suggested.

The District Commissioners will file
with the administrators of the recovery
act, probably Tuesday, list OF local
public works which they hope may be
financed out Of grants from the Federal
public works fund of $1,000 ,000,0 900.
District officials said yesterday 1t was
likely the list of projects would include
proposals already recommended by the
ONCE of Public. Buildings and Public
Parks, since these are District projects,
although they normally would be in
cluded in the independent Offices appro-
priation.
While the Commissioners will not
make public the list until they have
completed their study Of proposals and
submitted the document to the Federal
administration, it is understood four
projects definitely exist and for which
partial appropriations already have been
made in the 1884 District supply bill
They are:
The Woodrow Wilson High School, In
the Reno section; the Anacostia Junior
High School, the Jefferson Junior High
School and contagious ward building
at Galltnger Hospital.
These would be under that section of
the recovery bill which provides that
grants up to 80 per cent OF the cost OF
the projects may be made out of the
Federal fund, with the remainder COM
ing from local finances.
While number of other projects may
be added to this group, 1t Is understood
most Of the remainder Of the long ten
tative list includes projects for which the
District now lacks any appropriation
and therefore would depend upon Fed
eral grants for the full costs.
Items on the list being studied by the
Commissioners have a total cost Of ap-
proximately 100000, 900. according to
information given out at the District
Building yesterday.

MILK DATA SEARCH
TO RUN Z WEEKS
Senate Hearings Expected to
Start in JuIy-Ice Cream
Study Included.

The Senate subcommittee inquiring
into milk and other dairy product prices
in the District Nill continue during the
next two weeks to gather and compile
information. through its official advisers,
before holding public hearings.
This was indicated yesterday after
Senators King of Utah and McCarran
Of Nevada, subcommittee members, con-
ferred in executive session with Assistant
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal
and w. B. Watson Snyder of the
Attorney Generals Office. It appeared
likely after the conference that hearings
would start some time in July, but the
exact date has not been fixed.
Senator McCarran suggested yester-
day that the inquiry should include a
study Of the cream content Of ice cream.
The Senator said he regarded this as
important because ice cream has become
food rather than a luxury.
Entirely aside from this local dairy
product inquiry, Senator King an
nounced yesterday that he intends to
confer with Attorney General Cummings
regarding what he termed "unwar-
ranted increases" in some commodity
prices recently This did not have
reference to milk and dairy prices, nor
to conditions locally, but to prices of
some commodities throughout the
country.
Senator King conferred in this con-
nection yesterday with Gen. Hugh S.
johnson, administrator of the national
recovery act, and said he would COM
municate later with the Attorney
General. He said automobile tires and
rubber goods had gone up, and also
mentioned bread prices in some cities.

Another effort to arrange a confer

A conference scheduled for last Thurs

out to the letter in this overland move

clicked just as planned on paper. Execu-

according to specifications. There has
not been single slip-up, the whole

Gave Army Free Hand.
BY the authority vested in him as
commander in chief, President Roose-
welt gave the Army a free hand and
full wartime powers to execute its own
plans for getting these thousands Of
unemployed men between the ages of 18
and Is into forest work camps as speed
lily as possible. In truth, the President
has set goal of 301 SIS men in ap-
proximately 1900 camps by July /.
Up to June 10 total of 240,514 re-
cruits were assembled In the nine corps
areas, of which 74,300 still are in con-
ditioning camps at Army posts. A total
of 896 camps actually had been estab-
lished and in operation up to that date.
That the complete program will be
carried out to the letter by July l is
so certain that no War Department
official gives it another thought. "The
job must be done, and 1t will be done, !"
they say, with a confidence utterly de-
void of boasting. For the Army it
is just a days job-but what a job!
That it Is being accomplished with so
little dislocation Of its usual routine
is tribute to the Army's efficiency and
to its peace-time usefulness. No civil
ian force in this country could have
tackled this mobilization and accom-
plished it with such rapidity or with so
little fuss and confusion.

their wants.
Under the national defense act the
Assistant Secretary of War, Harry H.
Woodring. is charged with supervision
of the procurement of all military sup
plies and other business Of the War
Department pertaining thereto and the
assurance of adequate provision for the
mobilization of material and industrial
organizations essential to war time
needs
As part Of these plans, the Quarter
master and Ordnance Departments
have surveyed the industrial, business
and munition plans of the country and
have worked out with industry gener-
ally system of cooperation by which
the needs of the Army can be supplied
on the shortest possible notice. In like
measure the plans apply to the rail and
water transportation systems.
BY the slashing of governmental red
tape and the waving Of many peace
time practices, the Quartermaster Corps
Is being given practically free rein in
ordering all supplies needed for the
Conservation Corps. Wherever possible
supplies have been taken from surplus
World War stocks. When these articles
are exhausted Gen. De Witt turns to

to do. He takes out his list Of facto-

$500 Reserves in Field.
Only in connection with disciplining
and conditioning of recruits has it been
necessary for the Army to call upon its
Reserve officers. Approximately 1900
Reserves are in the field. Out of the
total of 5,173 officers now engaged in
c. c. C. activities, nearly 5000 are
regular line and medical officers and
chaplains from the Navy and Marine
Corps, the Army has borrowed 500
others.
The mobilization plans Of the Army,
a highly decentralized preparation for
war, suited to varying conditions in
each corps area, and under the direct
control of the high command in Wash
ington, are based on the enrolment,
training and equipment OF 1000, 600
men. They are not an inflexible group
changed and improved upon. They can
be utilized wholly or in part as the
task imposed by the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps bears witness.
When the mobilization Of this for
estry Army was undertaken, definite
participation by various Government
departments had been agreed upon.
The Labor Department was to select
the men. The Interior Department was
to select the camp sites. The Forestry
Bureau was to supervise the work Of
the men, once they were in the forest
camps. The Army was to do the rest.
Thus the great bulk of the burden was
to fall upon the War Department.
With the exception of Newton D.
Baker, who came from q law Office to
guide the greatest military mobilization
America has ever undertaken, no other
Secretary of War has ever been con-
fronted with such complicated task
to be accomplished within six weeks
time as has George H. Dern. No force
of comparable size was assembled under
canvas during even the first month of
the Civil War and not until several
