GREAT FUND FOR BUILDINGS HAS
 BEEN PROVIDED
Fourteen Billions of DOl- lars to Be Used in Peril
 cd of Two Years
BY IT. o. THOMPSON

(COpyr1ghc 1SS3, by Untte0 FreSS)
 Washington, Dec. - {UP) - A vast building program, contem- plating the expenditure of some $14,O00, 100000 in 8 two-year per- tod, has been outlined in the first section of an exhaustive survey made by MIRA technicians into the possibilities of. stimulating re-em- ployment through the construction Industries:
 Two sections of the surveys have been completed. The first is sum- mary of possible outlets for con- struction under government fi- nancing. The second is an inven- tory of real property, and pro- gram for maintenance of balance between real estate and construc- tion.
 The work has been done by committee organized by Dr Alex ander Sachs in the MIRA division of economic research and plan ming. The committee is headed by Roy WenZlich of St Louis and in- cludes an economist, an engineer, an architect and construction ex- perts.
 The unit was organized in reali- zation that construction led the country out of the first postwar depression in 1922. and in the hope that some means could be found for stimulating construction with corresponding effect in the current depression.
 The huge total of possible new construction is divided as follows:
 ,b32, 900, 900.
 Recreation facilities-$450,0 ,000,- 0oo.
 Health and sanitation-$136, 000,000.
 Grade crossings and highways S2.400. 900, 900.
 Express highways -- $1,S00,O00.- 900.
 Railway improvement - $1,500,- 000. 900.
 Industrial and commercial im- provcmeIt--$1 800, 0,000, ,000.
 Education facilities - $500, 0,000,- 900.
 AIodernization-S6 900, 900.
 New outlets (unestimated).
 Total-S13,568,000,000
 On the question of financing the survey states that neither mort fga;s companies nor banks pos sess either the resources or the willingness to lend"

 ROLPH REMOVAL
Woman HeckIer Tried to Break Up the Session
 But Lost Out

New York. Dec 4--(UP)-Copies of resolution demanding the re- moval of Governor Rolph of Cali fornia, passed at a mass meeting despite the efforts of a woman iieckler. were forwarded to-day 10 President Roosevelt. both houses of congress, and to numerous public officials.
 A meeting of 1,4OO persons. many Negroes, at City College, yes- ferday to protect against the San Jose lynchings and Rolph's ap- proval, was interrupted continually by an angry and unidentified wo- man who rushed up the aisle to demand:
 What right has this meeting to wash the dirty linen of California when there is so much dirty linen here in New York;"
 To each call for vote on the resolution, the woman, well dressed and about 30 years old, shrieked a mo-, audible above the chorus of ayes"
 "Just call me Madame K" she shouted when the crowd demand ed her name. When 1t seemed that the crowd was about to rush her. Madame K escaped from the Au- ditorium through rear exit.
 In another section. the Rev pr Henry Darlington, rector of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, apol- ogized to his congregation for his expression of approval of Rolph's stand.
 His telegram to Rolph, he ex- plained was sent when he was deeply stirred"
 Student members of the League for Industrial Democracy picketed the fashionable church. They car ried placards denouncing Dr Dar- nngton's stand.
 "Dr Darlington, the pastor of this church defends lynching," one read. Another read: How often must he be crucifed?"
 An onlooker, Mrs Mary Brown, snatched a placard held aloft by a woman picket, and tore it to pieces. She lunged Tor second sign, pro- cured it and fell to the street. At the police station. Mrs Brown pre- ferred charges of disorderly con- duct against three of the marchers.

In Early Afternoon the Whole List Was Steady and

pound showed wide changed. The pound opened at $5.12 1-4, rose to $5.14 1-4, dropped to $5.O4 and then rallied to $5.12 IA near the close of the stock market. At the latter figure it was down 6 1-4 cents from Saturdays close.
 The Reconstruction Finance Cor poration kept it's gold price at $34.01, while the gold quote at London figures out at sharp re- duction from that figure. That divergence may have set off some short covering abroad in the dol- lar, but there was no way to meas ure the amount. Then, too, the dollar shorts may have been fright ened by indications llte administra- tion was permitting the dollar to seek it's own level pending comple- tion of the December 15 financing. Wall street, however, was convinc- ed there was no government manipulation of the currency. Trading in stocks continued on a small scale throughout the day. Demand was light and holders of stock likewise were reticent about selling. The consensus was the market would continue lethargic until the December 15 financing was out of the way.
 Small gains were noted in U. s. Steel, Bethlehem, American Can, Case, General Foods, General Mo- tors, Goodyear, Libby -Owens-Ford National Distillers, Schenley, Unit ed Aircraft, and U. s. Industrial AL cohol.
 A sizeable list of railroad issues made small, gains including Ches- apeake & Ohio, Baltimore & Ohio, New York Central, Pennsylvania. Illinois Central. and Southern Rail. way.
 Mining issues were mixed. Some of the copeprs held we'll, but gold miners met moderate selling and eased fractions to more than U point. Utilities were steady. Amer ican Telephone lost a small frac- tion, being uninfluenced by the re- port of the New York Telephone company for October showing aoss of 1,341 telephones, again gain of 1899 in October.
 Commodities were steady late in the day. Grains closed near their last levels of Saturday. Cotton rallied from an early decline as did rubber. Silk, sugar and lead ad- vanced. Hogs were better. Silver futures were depressed moderately on profit-taking after recent strength.

 The clersymen contended that delegates to state conventions were pledged in advance, and that tho conventions hence were routine at- fairs instead Of deliberative assem- bles.
 U. $. Attorney Leo Rover, ask ing dismissal of the petition, point ed out that under supreme court ruling repeal becomes effective when the 3Gth state ratifles and that the proclamation which Chase and Duncan sought to stay were q mere formality.

 Federal Land Banks
 Washington, Dec 4.-UP) The Federal Land Banks to-day won an important decision in the supreme court when that body ruled that the land banks were not liable for mortgage moneys advanced. but lost in closed banks before the pro- posed recipient received them.
 The ruling was made on an ap- peal from a decision of the North Carolina supreme court in q suit by the land bank against Mrs Will Gaines.
 The case was considered of such importance that the remaining II federal land banks intervened Tn the case saying it was necessary for them to be informed in order to carry out the administration pro- gram for the $2.00O, ,OO0, 900 farm mortgage Relief Act.i
 The court ruled that the loan association was not an agent of the government but played more the role of endorser or guarantor of payment of the mortgage. It could no more be held responsible than if the farmer had himself put the funds into the closed bank.
 Any other finding would break down the purpose of the act, the opinion said
