weeks in which the principals in
the domestic triangle were the

Judge Joseph P. Sproule in

The Times-News Bureau
Sir Whittier Hotel

RALEIGH, Sept. 15.-The 80
highway construction projects in
volying an expenditure of APP
proximately $2,000,000 here in
North Carolina and submitted to
Public Works Administrator Ickes
for his approval about two
weeks ago, have at last been ap-
proved, Chairman E. B. Jeffress
of the state highway and public
works commission announced yes
terday. The complete working
plans for each of these projects
must still be approved by the U.
S. bureau of public roads, which
is a division Of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture. But these
plans are going forward every
day and their approval is virtual
ly assured, since the projects
have already been approved by
Administrator Ickes.
1t is now expected that the
highway commission will be apie
to call for bids and hold public
letting on these projects during
the first week in October, Chair
man Jeffress said. The low bids
received at this letting will also
have to be sent to Washington
for final approval, but this
should be completed within a
few days time, since all the prof.
ects and estimates have been
previously approved.
"The specifications on all these
projects have been in Washing
ton for fully two weeks, but we
have been unable to do anything
until we got the necessary APP
prevail" Chairman Jeffress said:
"Now. however, we can go ahead
and issue a call Off bids and
hold a letting within the next
three weeks. 1t should be pos
sible for the winning contractors
to actually start work on these
projects by the middle of Octo-
Der, Jeffress said. Present estl-
mates are that from 1900 to
1900 men Wi! be given employ
ment on this work. p.
An additional list of projects
is being prepared to submit to
Washington as soon as this pres
ent Its is out of the way.

PLAN QUIZ IN
FLNNEY BONDS
Government to Scan Bust
ness Dealings of Kan
sas Man

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 10. -
OUP).-The financial career of
Ronald Finney and more than
81. 100000 in Kansas municipal
bonds, which officials charge are
forgeries, will be investigated by
a special federal grand jury here
October IA. -,
Action of the grand jury will
be the next step in a drama
which has resulted in the arrest
of Finney's father, w. W. Fin,
ney, his office manager, Leland
Caldwell, and Tom Boyd, Kan
sas state treasurer.
Until two years ago the career
of Finney was not remarkable.
He had been graduated from
Cornell university and had mar
ried. He worked for some time
in one of his fathers three banks
at Eureka. Kan.
BECAME BOND BUYER
He dropped this, however, to
start bond buying and specula-
ton. He established an office at
Emporia, his home town, larg-
er one at a big hotel here, and
maintained representative at
Washington. Wires ran from his
hotel here to Washington and the
principal markets.
He purchased ranches in Colo
RADIO, Texas and Kansas. He
bought the 101 Ranch show when
it ran into difficulties. With his
father, he purchased 10000 head
of Texas cattle in one deal.
For a time, Finney was re-
markably successful. He made
money in commodities during the
bank holiday. His Washington
representative delivered authent-
ic "inside" market information.
Finney rode the summer grain
boom to a fabulous paper for
tune.
Then came the crash. He did
not repay a loan from a local
bank for which he had pledged
Kansas City, Kan, municipal
bonds as security.
CHARGE BONDS WERE
FORGERIES
The bank offered the bonds
for sale to discover, it is charg-
ed, that they were forgeries and
that more bonds with the same
numbers were in the state treas
ury as security for state deposits
in the Finney banks.
Young Finney, Caldwell and
Boyd were arrested first on state
and the non federal charges. The
three Finney banks at Emporia,
Eureka and Neosho Falls were
ordered closed. Examination of
the bank records at Emporia led
to charges of embezzlement
against the elder Finney. The
federal charge against the other
three is using the mails to de-
fraud.

Items of Importance

WASHINGTON.-At an end is the Hull that fell over efforts to put into effect President Roosevelt's recovery program
 From the middle of next week there will be an intending succession of hearings for expanding employment, increasing wages and lessening hours of work in industries large and small.
 Two reasons virtually guarantee this continuity of hearings.
 In the first place industrial leaders are getting down to brass tacks on the formulation of voluntary agree mentts and the fixing of terms as the foundations of proposed codes which have been wanted by the President during the three weeks or so that have elapsed since the enactment of the industrial control law. Many bus inessmen,, who have been hesitant, are convinced that the thing to do is to go ahead willingly with those busi- nessmen. who have had skull-cracking problems but who nevertheless have shown a disposition to cooperate with the Government in its efforts to re- store prosperity.
 In the second place Hugh s. John- son., industrial recovery administra- tor, nealinzing how essential is speed if workers purchasing power is to be innreased before winter, decided to open the throttle with respect to the hearings on proposed codes- He is sued orders today for hearings to be- gin immediately. If the terms of proposed codes are unacceptable to the government, he will set dates for hearings anyway, trusting that some thing suitable will be worked out at tAs hearings
 Lumber, shipbuilding and electrical manufacturing codes have already been submitted to the government. A steel code is epected shortly. Codes for coal, building contractors and many other industries are almost ready. The cotton and textile code has been adopted and will go into ef- feet Monday
