Whereupon the Secretary rolled
down his sleeves, drew on his coat and
went to the White House.
Friends Of the Secretary said he had
allotted something like $1,000 ,0O0,0 900 IN
less than three months.
They ascribed the delay in putting
the money into use to lack Of suitable
contracts, attempts OF contractors to
eliminate competitive bidding. dilatory
tactics by those receiving the funds and
to local, political and personal prob
lens.
They said Ickes interpreted the law
as declaring it to be the will OF Con-
gress that money should not be spent
ineficiently or for political purposes
and that he would not allot the money
without first ascertaining the value Of
the project as a job producer and to
the community. The Secretary was
represented as believing there was no
point to building post ofices when
slums could be cleared
Public works oficials made it plain
however that they were convinced OF
the willingness Of outside agencies to
help and attributed their slowness
largely to lack Of understanding.

 DRAW DECISION

New. Haven, Con, May 26-(U. P.)-Steve Carr of Meriden, and Eddie Moore. of Bridgeport. as two willing boys as ever pulled on a six-ounce glove, battled through 10 rounds last night to what Referee Henry Gerrity called a draw.
 Moore seemed to have a distinct edge, but Carr showed great cour- age and unbelievable stamina, and the decision seemed to sit we'll with the crowd.
 In the first round Carr stopped one of Moore's lefts with his chin and went down for seven count. Tho thing was repeated when Carr got to his feet, and then just be- fore the bell Moore dynamited him again. Dragged to his corner, his cut eye was patched and Carr came up wobbly but game for the sec- ond. He fought on instinct alone, and took the round. Moore tagged Carr twice again during the even- ing, but couldn't keep him on the floor. Meantime he was catching some of Carrs' best shots in the body or face. Carr, weighing 167 pounds, had a two-pound advan- tage.
