executed a tail-spin.

PANAMA SEEKS
j. 8. LOAN

Protection of merchants in Pan
anna from unfair competition by
American army and navy COM
missaries has been asked of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in a formal petit
ton from President Arias, Of Pan
anna, who is a guest at the White
House.
According to the plea, many
Federal workers in the Canal Zone
purchase goods cheaply from Gov
ernment stores and carry them
across the boundary line to
friends in Panama, without pay
ing duty.
Arias also requested, in confer
ences with Secretary of State Hull
and Assistant Secretary Jefferson
Caffery, that the United States
pay taxes on the land and prop
critics of the Panama Railroad,
owned by this country and partly
located outside of the Canal Zone.
A loan of $4,000 for the purpose
of sending jamaican negroes back
to their island home also was
asked. The negroes were orlgl-
nally imported to Panama to work
on canal construction.

'SSEAT
Too. v, HATCH

SANTA FE, N. M, Oct. Ii
Carl w. Hatch, New Mexico Dem.
ocratic leader, has been named
by Gov. A. w. Hockenhull to a
seat in the United States Senate
left vacant by the resignation of
Senator Sam G.. Bratton.
Senator Bratton recently re-
signed to become a Federal circuit
judge. The appointment was made
by the governor to avoid the eX-
pense of a special election.
Mr.. Hatch, resident of Clovis
since 1916, when he came to this
State from Kansas, was formerly
assistant attorney general Of the
State.
Lack of funds in the State
treasury kept the appointment
from going to Representative Dem
mis- Chavez, it was learned. The
governor pointed out that the ex-
pense of a special election to send
a successor to the House barred
Chavez from consideration.

SEWERFUND

Prevention of bridge washouts
and other flood damage is the
basis of request for a trunk
sewer in the Deanwood area, to
be laid before the District Com
missioners by the Northeast
Boundary Civic Association. Con-
struction of the improvement by
means of Federal public works
funds will be demanded.
Pointing out that the North
east area has received little con-
sideration in the allotment of
100000 for lateral highway con-
struction here, the association
also requested improvement of
Grant Street from Fifty-third
Street to the District line, and of

PLAN MARCH

A delegation of the Unemployed
Council will march in protest to
the District Commissioners today.
The line of march, laid down
by Major E. w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police, will be protested
by the marchers, on the ground
that Brown has attempted to make
their display obscure by routing
it through side streets.
The group will ask that persons
given work, but every other week
be allowed $3.50 vouchers for food
on weeks they do not work. They
will also ask that the rent Of mar
ried relief workers be paid by the
relief station.

PWA To CREATE
1900 JOBS

New activity is evident today at
the Public Works Administration,
and current news from that part
of the Federal front indicates the
official estimate that 1000 en-
ployes would be required at the
Washington headquarters will
work out in practice.
Jobs for attorneys, accountants
and engineers are developing, 1T
is understood, and a general staff
expansion is expected in coming
weeks. Speeding of the public
works program is the reason for
the prospective enlargement.
There are now about 800 en-
ployes in the washington office,
of which 200 were taken on in
the last two weeks. Clerical and
stenographic help will be added
as other employees are taken on.
But while attorneys are in
demand at the Public Works Ad-
ministration, 13 lawyers and
seven stenographers transferred
from the office of the general
counsel of the Internal Revenue
Bureau to the Department of
Justice are wondering how many
of them will have jobs a month
hence.
The transfer is made in con-
nection with departmental re-
organization, and the employees
affected now have temporary
status. At the end of 80 days,
those who are to be retained will
receive permanent appointments.

SLOW PROGRESS
FORECAST FOR
TELEV|S|ON
Inventor Thinks BroadcaSting
Cant Be SuppIanted; To Be
Guest of Roosevelt

Senator Guglielmo Marconi
italian inventor, who arrived in
Washington last night with his
wife for brief visit, brought po-
tential Joy to radio fans today
with the assertion that the day
is not far off when radio recep-
ton will not be affected by
static.
He based this prediction on the
recent discovery that micro
waves" are not influenced by
static, nor the change from night
to day.
Although optimistic over the
progress thus far made, and the
future Of television, the inventor
said work in this field will pro-
ceed slowly, and that television
will never replace broadcasting.
Guest of Roosevelt
While in Washington, Senator
Marconi, who is a member of Pre-
mier MuSSolini's supreme council
and divides his time between scien-
tific experimentation and affairs
of state in Italy, will be received
by President Roosevelt, and will
be the guest of honor this after
noon at the Hotel Mayflower at
a reception given by the Italy
America Society of Washington.
He visited Radio City while in
New York, and was intensely in
terested by that exhibition, and
also visited the Worlds Fair at
Chicago.
New Era Near
Regarding the micro-waves, the
distinguished Italian asserted:
"The world undoubtedly is
on the Threshold of a new
@ea in radio.
I'VE have discovered that
these tiny waves (micro-waveS),
to which am devOting my ex.
perimentS, are not limited by
optical distances, as once was
believed. The curvature of the
earth is no barrier. have

DAVIS DEFENSE
RESTS CASE

NEW YORK, Oct. II G.N.S).-
The defense rested today in the
trial of U. S. Senator James j.
Davis, of Pennsylvania, charged
with violating Federal lottery laws
in connection with charity balls
sponsored by the Loyal Order Of
Moose. Senator Davis was direc'
tor general of the Order.
The last witness for the defense
was B. D. Dahlberg, Of Chicago,
president of the Celotex Company.
He testified Senator Davis visited
him at his Chicago office between
9:30 and 10:30 o'clock on the
morning of January 3, 1881.
This testimony was in rebuttal
to that of a. Government witness
who declared he saw Davis in q
room in Mooseheart, ILL.,, that
morning, shortly before the draw"
ing for an alleged lottery.
Theodore G. Miller, head OF the
propagation department of the
Moose, is on trial with Davis.
Neither took the stand in his own
defense.

WAR ON REALTY
|NGSPLANNED
To END SLUMS
Federal Corporation to Take
Over Desired Property
BY Eminent Domain
BY international News Service

BY international News Service
Government officials today were
planning an attack aimed at
breaking the restrictions of real
estate rings in their communities,
through a Federal corporation to
go directly into the housing prob
lem where Slums exist.
This corporation, if finally ap-
proved, will construct decent
homes in place of slums, and will
either sell or rent them at mod
crate prices.
Has Struck SnagS
Based on the already function
ing slum- clearance organization
under public works, it would take
a short cut. um-clearance in
the major cities has struck many
snags, both before and since for
nation of the public works ad-
ministration, officials admit.
Real estate rings in some cases
are interested in the slum blocks,
which frequently yield high
profits. These, it is intimated,
have blocked local efforts of
some communities which consid-
cred applying for Government aid
in clearing their tenements. Ex-
cept where progressive measures
have provided for housing au-
thority organization through
which the Government can ex-
tend loans, many obstacles arose.
Working On Answer
Secretary Ickes is working with
his advisers on a Federal housing
corporation as the answer. It
will be empowered to go directly
into communities where prot
jects are scheduled and buy and
build.
The right of eminent domain is
granted the public works admin
istration in the NRA which pro-
vides "the right to acquire by
purchase or by exercise Of the
power of eminent domain any
real or personal property in
connection with the construc-
ton"
Its detailed plans have not
been formulated beyond this
stage. It's secondary purpose is
to set the pace for communities
already constructing low-cost
dwellings with Government aid,
and to encourage others.
