PUBLIC WORKS
DELAYED by
DISPUTE
Presidents Advisers Disagree
On BiIIion-DoIIar Bond Is
sue at This Time

A controversy between President
Roosevelt'S advisers over Federal
measures for reviving employment
today delayed action on the Ad-
miniStration's proposed billion
dollar public works program.
A draft Of the bill was reported
on the Presidents desk. It would
authorize a $1,000, 100000 bond
issue to finance construction
projects, designed to increase en-
ployment and start the wheels of
industry.
OF this fund, $150.OOO,OOO would
be set aside for eradication Of
slums in the great cities and the
remainder divided between post
roads, Federal buildings, flood con-
troll, and public projects.
Other Bills Giving Jobs
Two other bills, designed to de-
velop work for the unemployed,
were pending in Congress. One
would liberalize the law regarding
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton loans to States, counties, and
municipalities.
This bill, before the Senate
Banking and Currency Commit
tee, would set aside another ST.
000, 100000 to finance "needful
projects" to be undertaken by
States, counties, and cities.
The other bill would lend the
Federal Governments aid to
States in establishing and main
tanning a national system Of pub
lie employment offices. The en-
ployment service would be set up
under the Department of Labor,
at cost Of $4,000,000 a year, the
States receiving all the benefits.
Dispute Over Slums
Some of the Presidents ad-
visers demanded the public
works program be postponed en-
tirely until the next session of
Congress. They protested the
bond market could not sustain
a billion-dollar issue at this
time on the heels of anticipated
initiation of the currency. Those
favoring the program declared
the bonds could be handled
easily through the Federal Re
serve system as a part of infla-
tion.
Another dispute evolved upon
the suggestion to use $50, ,0OO, 900
for eradication of slums. This
idea was advanced by Secretary
of Labor Perkins. She proposed
to raze dilapidated slum build
ings in the large cities and erect
modern tenements to be self
liquidating over a long period of
years.
One Administration leader de-
clared the President would not
act on the public works program
for another week. He said the
President was busy trying to
harmonic differences among
his advisers.

HEREFOR AID

Bituminous coal operators in

Ickes and Secretary of Labor
Perkins with a view to obtaining
assistance through legislation for
the Stabilization Of the industry.

ton of wasteful competition be-
tween fields north and south of

Coal Operators Association, and
r. H. Sherwood, of the Indiana

It is understood both groups
seek greater stability Of operating
through an allotment of the po-
tential demand and uniformity Of
wage scales. The latter account
for approximately 10 per cent of
the cost Of production.

Gov. Herring, However, Says,
Soldiers Will Be Sent to
Cherokee If Necessary

LIE MARS. Iowa, May 3
U.N.S0.-A military court of in
quiry today began gathering
evidence against the farmer
rioters of Plymouth and Craw-
ford counties, more than 100 of
whom have been seized by Ma
tional guardsmen and are quar-
tered in stockades here and at
Denison.
With the arrival of Major R.
"A. Lancaster, member of the
military commission appointed
to function until civil law is re-
stored, preparation of the cases
against the farmer prisoners
was begun. Two men appeared
as the first witnesses.
No Military Trials
Under present plans martial
law will continue for another
week. When the preparation of
evidence is concluded, the civil
courts will be reopened and pris-
oners placed on trial. Military
trials have been decided against,
but special prosecutors from the
Attorney Generals office will pre-
sent the cases.
Militiamen were still hunting
several ringleaders in the mob
assault last Thursday on District
Judge Charles C. Bradley, which
precipitated declaration Of mar
tial law.
While the military court was
getting under way, the threat of
Prosecutor James Smith in ad-
joining Cherokee County pre-
sented a new problem in the
turbulent situation. Smith prom
ised to arrest any troopers in
vading the neighboring county in
search Of suspects.
Ignores Threat
Although the prosecutor argued
that the order of martial law did
not include his county, where civil
authorities have not been dis
placed, Gov. Clyde Herring an
nounced from Des Moines that
troops would be sent into Cherokee
county if the military authorities
here deemed the foray advisable
and necessary.
Prisoners old and young, well
dressed and in overalls, have
filled the cattle barn at the sol
diers's camp and an adjoining
barbed-wire stockade, in which
tents have been pitched. Others
are lodged in the county jails.
Many of the farmers are Of the
pious, well-mannered type. And
most of them are concerned about
the neglected farm chores at
home.

warrants. This relief would en-
able the cities to carry on for the

METCULOUS CARE OF HAIR AND SCALP BRINGS SHEEN WHICH
WASHINGTON FASHIONS By Wilma LoVNe

The woman with the rather
difficult figure may put away
her fears. The fall clothes are
not going to be hard for her to
wear. Lines are rather slender,
long and straight, which is
much more gracious for hips and
diaphragms than bias lines, or
those v shapes we've had for
several seasons. They were at
tractive and graceful on the
right person, but not every
woman was the right one.
WaiStlines are normal, or just
a little above or below, which al
lows enough laXity for the most
exacting figure. Shoulders are
moderately broad, enough to
make hips look slim. but you
needn't go in for exaggerated
width that will make you look
Amazonian.
Bengaline Returns
Half size dresses, those de-
signed for women with width in
the hips and upper arms, may
be youthful and smart, yet they
may do wonders for that diff
cult figure.
The dresses we've sketched
show that better than any de-
scription can. The coat dress
on the right has Surplice clos
ing that may be worn turned
down, or buttoned up to smart
high neckline. If it looks we'll
up on you, by all means wear it
up, but if it doesn't. then you
have the privilege of turning it
down.
This dress is of brown dull
crepe, trimmed with white silk
bengaline, that old-fashioned
fabric that has returned to
favor. The little capelet over
the shoulders gives width, but
not too much. The buttons are
of cut steel. The dress is priced
$16.75, and is in half sizes.
Shirts Are PIeated
The two-piece dress sketched
(left) is of black corded silk,
and, although the stripes Of
satin on the silk run around.
the effect is still slim, because
the dress is so straight. with
pleated skirt and good hip line.
White begaline again is the trim
ming, making the bow and
piping.
The buttons are very new, of
rose cut crystal. Again there's
a surplice closing, and the belt
in the back holds it snug. This
dress is also $16.75, and is in
half sizes. It will make the
woman who buys it look young,
even if she has attained more
width than she wants, in her
hips and shoulders.
For fashion information, or

these dresses, write Miss Laville,
