$4,000 CALLED
TO FOREST
CAMP JOBS

President Roosevelt today ap-
proved a program for the plac-
ing of 275,000 men in emergency
conservation camps in National
and State camps by July /.
Robert Fechner, director Of the
conservation work, said that to
attain the objective set by the
President, it will be necessary foC
the Labor Department to select
225,OOO young men for forestry
work during the next six weeks
and send them to Army condi-
tioning camps.
The War Department in turn
will have to condition these men
and install them in forest camps
at the rate of 5,400 men a day.
This means the Army will eStab-
liSh forest work camps at the
average daily rate of 81.
Beats War Record
Fechner said it would be neces-
Rary to enroll men at the condi-
tioning camps at the rate OF g.
$40 a day.
Discussing the program, Fech-
ner said:
"War Department officials
advise me this rate of 8,54O
men received, prOcessed and
equipped each day, will be
greater than the average main
tanned by both the Army and
Navy of the United States dur
ing the World War.
''TO get the young men
selected, sent to conditioning
camps, equipped and transport
ed to work projects in national
and State forests will require
that all departments connect
ed with this work operate at
top speed for the next six or
seven weeks.
"Officials of the War De-
partment, the Labor Depart
ment, the Department of the
Interior and the Department of
Agriculture, now assigned to
aid this office, have assured
me that the full 275,OOO men
will be at work in forest camps
by July l."
165,OOO SELECTED
He continued:
"The Labor Department re-
ports that 10000 men have al
ready been selected and that
the remainder of the national
quota will be selected on or be-
fore June 1. The Labor Depart
ment states it can present for
enrolment 5000 or 10000 men
q day, or more as required.
There will be no publication of
incrementS called because this
will be daily occurrence"
A total of 1900 forest camps
will be needed to accommodate
the 275,000 men to be placed in
forest work camps under the
Presidents emergency forestation
program. OF this number, 1902
have already been selected, leav,
ing less than 300 to be approved.

WALLACE SETS
FARM RELIEF
IN MOTION

The first step in putting into
operation the Governments farm
relief plan was taken today by
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace.
He sent messages to professors,
producers, and handlers of basic
commodities, Summoning them to
series of conferences and thus
set in motion a program aimed
to bring better prices and adjust
production to demand.
Hearings Planned
Under his plan there will be
public hearings and eventually
trade agreements will be per-
fected, with the possibility that
processing taxes will be levied
The basic commodities-Wheat,
cotton, corn, hogs, tobacco, rice,
and dairy products-will be dis
cussed by producers, professors,
and handlers with the depart
ment's experts as well as those
of the Federal Farm Board.
In the meantime Henry Nor
genthau, jr., now chairman OF
the Federal Farm Board and
designated to be governor OF
the Farm Credit Administration,
went on the air last night to
discuss some phases of the farm
relief bill, particularly those for
relieving the farm-debt situation.
Interest Cut Near
He said all those farmers
whose mortgages are held by any
of the IL Federal land banks will
benefit directly under the new
act. There are nearly 100000
of these farmer-borroWers, and
the amount of their loans aggre-
gates more than $1,000, 900, 900
They are paying, he said, rates of
interest between S and 6 per
cent, the average being about 512
per cent.
Sixty days hence the interest
rate on all these mortgages will
be reduced to AZ per cent and
will remain at that rate for the
next five years.

Roosevelt Doe
May Be Exiled
For Biting

It is an axiom of the law that
a dog is entitled to one bite.
but Major, the White House
police dog, has had quite a
few and apparently is still in
favor there.
Whether he will be exiled is
a matter to be determined when
the President returns next
week.
White House dogs seem to
contract delusions Of grandeur.
Major has bitten and snapped
at a number of persons, but his
record is no worse than Presi-
dent Harding's Laddie Boy,
which nipped at dignitaries till
he had to be sent away, or
President Hoover's wolfhound
Shamrock, which finally drew
capital punishment for his Bit
ing tendencies.
The toughest of the lot prob
ably was Theodore Roosevelt's
Pete, a bulldog, which once
treed the French Ambassador.
Major yesterday snapped at
Harry William Johnson, an at
torney, living in the 270O block
Ontario Rd. N. w., inflicting
severe decorations that sent the
attorney to Emergency Hospital
for treatment.

PLEDGE SIGNED.
BY 100000 IN
NRA DRIVE
Consumers Joining at Rate Of
$4,000 a Day; Three-fourths
Of Employers In

With consumers being signed
at the rate of 10000 a day, the
number of Washington S
pledged to support the Blue Eagle
today reached the 100000 mark.
This is regarded as a remark
able record, in view Of the fact
that the local NRA campaign, un-
der the direction Of Thomas P.
Littlepage, was not officially
started until last Monday.
Over 3,1O0 volunteer canvaSsers
are now in the field in the drive
to gain the cooperation Of 100 per
cent of Washington commercial
interests and citizens for the Pres
ident's unemployment agreement.
1,1OO Canvass City
OF these workers, 1000 are
men forming the business mems
contingent; 1,1O0 are women can
vassing from door to door; and
1000 make up the colored di-
vision.
Postal authorities report that
only 5000 local employers have
so far not taken advantage cf
the Blue Eagle regulations. They
form less than one-quarter Of the
city's $4,000 business establish
ments.
The total of employers who
had signed the unemployment
agreement up to today is 9,198,
postal officials added.
Complaints to Be Written
Another development in the 10
cal NRA drive was a request from
the headquarters in the Board of
Trade offices to make any COM
plants of NRA violations in writ
ing. It YVES explained that oral
reports Of an employers failing
to keep his Blue Eagle pledge are
often confusing and erroneous.
Complainants writing their in
formation should send it to the
MIRA campaign authorities in the
Board Of Trade. They need not
sign their names, it was added.

TAXPAYER BODY
URGES GUT

A request that the District Com
missioners recommend to Con-
gress that assessments against
property owners for the installa-
ton of sewer and water mains be
substantially reduced was made
by the Washington Taxpayers Pro-
tective Association, in letter ad-
dressed to the city heads today.
The present charges for these
two services are excessively
high" the letter, signed by E. C.
Baltz, chairman of the board of
the association, said.
Suggesting that row-house con-
struction in Washington during
the past 10 years has given way
to construction Of detached and
semidetached homes, the associa-
ton letter calls attention to the
fact that lots for home building
now are wider and that, as a re-
suit, the cost of sewer and water
main installation to each home
builder has increased.

Nearby Maryland and Virginia

A 2-cent gasoline tax, in addi-
ton to the Federal tax of ~
cents, is charged in the District.
while the Maryland State tax is

The oil companies have been

EX-D. c. HEADS
. RAP ONE-|NAN
CITY RULE
Dougherty, Hendrick, John
ston, TaIiaferro Believe
Present Plan Is Best

The District will not benefit
from a change in the present
form of commissioner govern
ment, according to consensus OF
opinion of former District Com
missioners.
Reported plans of the Admin
istration to supplant the present
form of government with one
man rule in the District aroused
four former Commissioners to
firm opposition to the plan.
Such a plan would be top
heavy, in that it would require
too many executive assistants to
the city manager, mayor or by
what designation the new gov
ernment head might be called
opponents of the plan pointed
out.
Has Worked Out
Further, it was stated, such
plan has already been tried and
found wanting. Congress, after
considerable time and delibera
tion, placed the present plan ir
effect and it has worked with
utmost satisfaction for morS than
so years.
Gen. John A. Johnston, who
served as a District Commissioner
several years ago, was firm in his
opposition to the reported plan
when he said:
II am wholly opposed to that
sort Of change. Even If such
q man were a dictator, as far.
as Congress would permit him
to be, there is such q multi
plicity of administrative duties
in District government that he
would have to have at least two
executive assistants to carry on
his responsibilities, the same
burdens that are now satisfac-
tOrily carried by the District
Commissioners.
NO BAD FEELINGS
''When I was q Commissioner,
each member Of the board was
q committee of one and had
certain responsibilities which he
undertook to discharge, and
when doubts overlook a Com
missioner, matters were taken
up at a meeting of the board
and satisfactorily adjuSte d.
Even when members disagreed,
we had adopted the policy that
the disagreementS would be had
agreeably and the minority
member of the board would be
loyal to the vote of the ma
jOrity."
No less positive was former
Commissioner Proctor L. Dough.

POTOMAC FERRY
WRECK LOST

If any District yachtsman runs
his cruiser into the sunken re-
mains of a 20O-foot ferry boat
near the mouth of the Potomac
the United States District Engi-
neer's office would appreciate
hearing of it. They've lost the
wreck.
George D. Rittenhouse, engi-
neer. inspector, dragged an en-
tire day this week preparatory
to, destroying or removing the
sunken hulk which is a menace
to navigation.
Nary a wreck could he find,
although the craft is 200 feet
long, SO feet wide. and if the
paddle wheels are still intact
should be within a few feet OF
the surface.
The wreck is that of the Her
cules, which burned and sank
August "a after only IL days
service. Engineers now believe
the recent storm moved it far
from its first resting place.

Death of Linen1Gn
Due to Negligence

Basil Fox, railroad lineman
killed last week while repairing
damage done by the wreck of the
Crescent Limited at the washed
out Eastern Branch Bridge, came
to his death as a result of his
own negligence, coroner's jury
decided today.
Fox, who was % years old, and
a Baltimore resident, was crushed
to death when a pole on which
he was working snapped off at
the base.
Railroad officials and fellow
workmen testified that Fox had
rugged the tackle supporting the
pole incorrectly.
