TOO MUCH FEDERAL
FUNDS GIVEN STATE
lCOHfiHHed from First Pa0e1
Governor Believes Some MiStak,

II cant understand il: there mus
be some mistake about it," was the
immediate comment of Governor c
Douglas Buck when apprised of the
statement.
Gerrish Gassaway, NRA admins
traitor for Delaware, who spent Tues
/ day in Washington with officials OF
the State Public Works Advisory
Board speeding Delaware projects
through agencies there, said upon
his return, he preferred not to COM
ment on Secretary Ickes' statement.
He was accompanied to Washington
by l.. Lee Layton, of Dover, chair
man of the Advisory Board; Charles
Fleming, also of Dover, the boards
chief engineer, and Willard A. Speak
man, of this city, member of the
board.
Believes Ickes Jumped Sums
Mr.. Layton at his home in Dover,
said he believes Secretary Ickes ar
rived at his conclusion by Jumping
all the grants and other funds ap-
proved by the Public Works Admin
istration for spending in Delaware.
This, Mr.. Layton pointed out, would
give the State more per capita than
most other States, though Delaware
has not yet adopted the program it
will follow as a State.
Of the ,3000OO,OOO fund for pub
lie works provided by the Industrial
Recovery Act. Mr. Layton pointed
out, S400,000,000 were allotted for
road construction, Delaware receiv-
ingS1 ,S19, 900. Also the State has re-
ceived almost 100000 in loans and
grants for individual projects, such
as the Pierre S. DUPONT High School
in Wilmington and improvements at
Farnhurst. In addition, he cited the
100000 allotted Delaware for the
Civil Works program.
Mr.. Layton voiced the off-hand
opinion that Secretary Ickes' state
ment would have little bearing on
Wilmington's new Federal building
delay on which has led to months of
agitation and controversy.
Advised To Keep Sending
The latest word received from
Washington by the Advisory Board,
Mr.. Layton said, was to keep send
ing on proposed works.
Another person connected with
the Advisory Board said that, in find
ing Delaware inequitably advanced
in receipt of Federal funds, Secre-
tary Ickes may have considered the
large funds allotted the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad for electrification
from Wilmington to Washington.
The public works program the
State will adopt as political entity
has been blocked by the Legislative
stalemate at Dover.

The salaries the convention dele

The detailed story of the Consti

went on at the convention ON De-

the delegates.

Upon receipt of these petitions the
General Assembly authorized the
Constitutional convention to meet in

set for Monday, November 26. and
the convention was to be held in

Sergeant Louis N. Crawford has
been sent to Georgetown to open a

SUGAR MARKETING
AGREEMENT NEARER
Wallace Presented Plan by Which
Beet Interests Consent to
Quota Production.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A serious obstacle was cleared from
the path Of negotiations for a sugar
marketing pact yesterday through the
presentation to Secretary Wallace Of g
written agreement by which domestic
beet interests consented to participate
IN production quota plan.
The Farm Administration had re-
fused to 60 ahead with a proposed
agreement, which would allocate to the
various producing interests their share
of the estimated 6,575, 900 tons fol
domestic consumption in the year be-
ginning July /, until written agree
ment was reached on essential points
of difference
Chief among these was the refusal
Of the domestic beet interests to allow
any limitation on their commercial out
put. Yesterday, however, both the rep
yesentatives Of the producers and proc
essors formally said they would agree
to limit their market output to 1,750,-
600 tons. This was substantial in
crease over the quota proposed for
them before, ,525, 900 tons.
Farm Administration officials imme-
diately decided to 60 ahead with their
efforts to stabilize the market through
the quota plan. Although further par
leys and possible revision of the tenta-
tive pact were In prospect, ofiicials were
more hopeful OF final agreement than
at any time since the discussions began
weeks ago.

WAGE PLOT ACTION

Justice Department Threat
to Prosecute Contractors
Revealed by Bride.

Corporation Counsel william W. Bride
revealed today that the Department OF
Justice had expressed the opinion that
two or more persons who plotted to
violate provisions Of the Bacon-Davis
act requiring payment Of prevailing
scales to workmen on Government
building projects may be prosecuted
for conspiracy.
In an opinion on the subject, Assistant
Solicitor General Angus D. Mclean
wrote:
1T now occurs to us, and we submit
for your consideration, that while this
statute makes no provision for criminal
spiracy of two or more persons to vio-
late this act would constitute criminal
conspiracy within the provisions Of sec
ton $40 Of the Revised Statutes, which
makes 1t criminal offense to 'conspire
to defraud the United States in any
manner or for any purpose
Administration of this act has been
a source Of trouble to the District since
1t was first put on the statute books in
1881. In at least 20 cases there have
been complaints that contractors have
been cheating their workers out of the
prevailing scale Of wages called for by
the act
One such is pending now. The Cata-
lano Construction Co. of Baltimore has
unit Friday to make good payments to
brickayers and other workers who were
paid less than the prevailing scales fol
their work on the Phelps Vocational
School, at Twenty fourth and H streets
northeast.
