Hopkins Will Ask Con-

To Continue Work

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (UP).
Launched as a stop-gap emery
ency effort to put 100000 men
to work. the civil works admins
tration is regarded by some IN
the administration as a possible
permanent substitute for unem-
ployment insurance and old age
pensions.
Among those holding this view
is Harry M. Hopkins, director OF
CWA.
Officially the experiment runs
until February Is. Actually the
administration refuses to think OF
turning 100000 men back on
charity in mid-winter. 1t expects
to ask congress for money to
carry on for an extended time.
More than this, Hopkins told
the United Press today he be-
lieves that CWA has possibilities
of becoming a permanent lnstltu-
ton.
at might easily lead to a
scheme of using civil works as a
device for permanently providing

Greensboro yesterday when more
than $50 men and women repre-

into the North Carolina Council

FUND GRANTED.

Scenic Drive
BREVARD ASKS ROUTE
PUT THROUGH PISGAH

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.-An
allotment of 100000 for the
construction of a scenic drive be-
tween the Shenandoah and Great
Smoky Mountains National parks
was made public yesterday.
The drive will be located in the
states of Virginia, North Carolina
and Tennessee, and the route will
be selected by the public roads
bureau.
The announcement of the alloU-
ment of funds for this project
was made from the public roads
bureau after assurances were CIV
en- governors of the three states
last week that the road would be
built. This assurance came from
Secretary Ickes.
The road will be between $50
and $50 miles long and will con-
meet with the 100-mile Shenan-
doah park driveway. The right of
way for the road will be 200 feet
wide.
The project is expected to re-
quire the expenditure Of approx
mately $16,000,000, and when the
$4,OO0,000 allotted is exhausted
it is expected that additional funds
will be supplied.
Federal engineers expect to
choose the route for the road on
maps and then send surveying
parties into the field for the ac-
tual survey for the road.

pointments afterwards. 1t is as
sumed that they were named upon
recommendation of Senator r. K.
Reynolds.
Further than notification of ap-
pointment Of the three men, Mr..
Clifton said he has received no
instructions from Washington con-
corning the duties of the newly
created unit.
North and South Carolina are
among the states which have state
prohibition, and which, according
to the 21st Amendment, will re-
ceive assistance of the federal
government. at least so far as in
ter-state transportation is con-
cerned.
1t is believed that the federal
government is trying to complete
legislation for states which have
no prohibition laws and from
which a great amount of revenue
is to be derived.
Then, or so it is expected. the
government will take up the prob
lem of enforcement in dry states.
