AMBASSADOR DODD LEADS SIMPLE LIFE
u. S. Envoy to Reich
Doesn't Golf or
Play Bridge

BERLIN, Aug. 7 (I.N.S).-Sim-
plicity promises to e the key
note Of Ambassador William E.
Dodd'S term of office in Ger
many.
Arriving without secretary,
valet, chauffeur, or servants OF
any sort, he took up temporary
quarters in a hotel, and let 1t
be known he intended to find a
quiet place" for himself and
family.
DR.. Dodd does not like late
hours. At home in Chicago 9
o'clock was his favorite bed
time. He seldom if ever has been
known to take drink of any
sort. And he doesn't smoke.
Doesn't Play bridge
The Dodds do not play bridge.
The ambassador, though fond OF
music, has had little time for
its enjoyment in recent years,
but hopes to catch up a bit now.
Never an assiduous theater-goer,
he is said to take in a movie
"every other year."
Nor is the new en- oy a golfer.
He took up the ancient and
royal pastime about two years
ago, but found it so hard to get
out to most of ne courses
around Chicago and the club fees
so exl ensive that he gave it up.
He does not propose to resume
it here.

OIL MEN SEEK
FIXED PRICES
By International News Service

By International News Service
A price-fiXing arrangement for
the oil industry, with consumers
of gasoline and other petroleum
products protected against eX-
cesSive prices, was considered to-
day by the Administration.
Powerful groups representing a
big numerical majority of the
producing companies demanded
price-fixing as an essential to any
industrial code.
A final draft of the code was
being prepared. 1t engaged the
attention of Secretary of the In
terror Ickes; Hugh S. Johnson,
industrial recovery administrator;
Philip Kemp, deputy administra-
tor, and three committees Of the
industry.
Several plans to stabilize prices
were analyzed. The one most
discussed involved the "pegging"
of crude oil in relationship to
retail gasoline. Some held out
for a flat minimum price on
crude, varied according to grade.

Plenty of Work Next Winter
Is Objective of Sec. Ickes

The huge public works program
of the administration was being
timed today to reach its peak
about November l and continue
at a high level throughout the
winter.
The public works council named
by President Roosevelt to CO.
operate with Secretary of Interior
Ickes, public works administrator,
is closely studying the statistics
of increasing employment with a
view to tuning the program to
the industrial recovery movement.
Program Made Pliable
Determined to prevent a repeti-
ton of last winters unemploy.
ment, the public works council
was shaping the program so that
it can be speeded or retarded to
keep the Nation on a steady up
grade toward business recovery.
With more than $1.OOO,OOO,OO0
of the $3.3O0,0oO,0OO fund
authorized by Congress already
allocated, the number of men
actually put to work thus far is
small.
Public works assignments for
highway work, totaling $51,177,946
in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Alabama,
and New Jersey were made today.
Approval Of the detailed plans
Of the States is still necessary be-
fore contracts can be let to actual.
ly put men to work.
A total of $380,344,288 Of the
$400, 100000 set aside for highways
has now been assigned to the
States.
Inevitable delay in approving
plans and selecting projects
worthy of expenditure of Federal
funds has proved an obstacle in
the path of the public works
board.
At the time of enactment Of
the program, Congress was in.
formed by Federal officials that
more than a billion and a half
dollars of worthy public projects
scattered throughout the country
were in such shape that work
could be started without delay.
All Projects Canvassed
All proposed projects, however,
will be carefully canvaSsed under
the policy laid down by Ickes.
Regional and State advisers
have been named to prepare pro-
grams, but State engineers are yet
to be named. It was expected
President Roosevelt would approve
list of 48 engineers today or
tomorrow. It then will be possible
to put State, county and city
public works projects in shape to
be considered by the public works
board,
Preparation of the complete
State, county and city programs
is expected to take from 80 to
so days, with approval to follow
and contracts to be let.
In the meantime, purely
Federal public works projects are
being pushed to provide jobs.
These include the highway pro-
gram and the huge naval con.

W|THF|RMS To
Be ADJUSTED
Will Mean Government Will
Have to Allow Higher Range
of Prices for Goods
BY international News Service

Adjustment of all contracts be-
tween the Unied States Govern
ment and concerns dealing with
the Government to conform to
the national recovery program
was pledged today by President
Roosevelt.
He said where authority did
not exist in specific cases he would
ask the next Congress for such
power. He urged governors Of
States and civic and municipal
authorities to take similar steps.
The plan is to allow higher
range of prices from the Govern
ment on all contracts where the
costs of production have altered
the basis on which the original
deal was entered, due to working
of recovery act code provisions Of
higher wages and increased cost
of materials.
Issued by johnson
The Government has led priv
ate firms to make such adjust
ments between themselves. The
Presidents statement, issued from
his summer home. but made pub,
lie by Hugh S. Johnson, national
recovery administrator, read:
at has been brought to my
attention that in many instances
hardship may be imposed upon
employers who sign the Presi-
dents agreement, or come under
the codes OF fair competition
which are approved, who have
previously made contracts with
the Government to supply goods
or services at fixed prices, which
may be inadequate in view of
increasing costs caused by short
ening hours or increasing wages
in compliance with agreements
or codes.
IN PUBLIC INTEREST
"The policy of the Admins
tration was stated in the state
ment which I issued upon sign
ing the national industrial re-
covery act urging those having
benefits of these forward bar
gains contracted before the law
was passed to take the initia-
tive in revising them to absorb
some share of the increase in
their supplier's costs, thus
raised in the public interest"
Citing the provision Of this
policy under which firms signing
the Presidents agreement under
took to make necessary adjust
ments between themselves on
contracts involved, the President
continued:
"The United States Govern
ment as a buyer of goods should
be willing itself to take action
similar to that recommended
to private buyers. Therefore,
wherever adjustments can be
made under existing law, shall
recommend that they be made"

HULL REPORTS
No HOPE FOR
TARIFF CUTS
Secretary, Back in Capital,
Found Europe Expects U. S.
to Make All Concessions
By GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service


Secretary of State Cordell Hull
returned to the Capital today a
somewhat disillusioned man.
He still is convinced that the
worlds principal ailments are high
tariffs and other artificial trade
barriers-againSt which he has
preached constantly-but under
existing circumstances even his
buoyant optimism can see no way
they can be overcome at this
time.
Europeans Unwilling
He found in Europe no sin
cerity equal to his own, no mood
to make any sacrifice of any
kind. Instead, he discovered that
Europe looks to the United States
for any concessions that are to
be made in the field of interna-
tional endeavor, and that unless
such concessions are forthcoming,
there is very little use of ever
attempting to reconstruct the
elaborate framework of the World
Economic Conference. For no
country in Europe is in a conces-
sion making mood.
Marking his first intimate con-
tact with European diplomacy, it
was all very diSilluSioning.
Latin Nations Studied
All this he reported to Presi
dent Roosevelt over the weekend
at Hyde Park. Mr.. Roosevelt as
sured him that it was all right
and that for the immediate fu
ture the State Departments vi
sion should be trained on the fer
tile fields of Latin-American
trade and commerce instead Of
the well-fenced fields of Europe
Consequently, after brief va
cation, Secretary Hull will begin
laying plans for the seventh Pan
American conference, which con
venes at Montevideo in Decem
ber. According to tentative plans
Hull himself will head the Ameri
can delegation to the Uruguayan
capital.
Trade Pacts Sought
The American objective there
will be bilateral trade agreements
with individual countries Of the
Western Hemisphere, under which
South and Central America will.
absorb more United States manu-
factured products in exchange
for raw materials. Between the
United States and Europe there
is a deep industrial rivalry; be-
tween the United States and the
populous countries of the Amer
icas there is none at all, for they
are not industrialized.
For the time being, at least
Administration policy is going to
concern itself with trade pros
poets on this side of the Atlantic
For the moment, Europe is
further away from washington
than it has ever been since the
i; fateful days of August in 1914.

GOVERNMENT OF CHILE NOW TO BUILD SUBWAY
Approval Is Given to Prof. ect to Solve Traffic
 Snarls m Capital

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec 30.- Chiles first subway has been auth orized by the government.
 It will be the Metropolitan Sub- terranean Railroad," and will run from the Alameda or Southern Railway station at the west end of the Boulevard Alameda, across the city under the boulevard for three miles to the Plaza Italia, where the east side suburbs begin.
 Set Six Months Limit
 Preliminary authorization stipu- lates that the engineer and origi- nator of the project, Luis Lagar- rigue must present final plans within six months. Unless these plans are satisfactory, construction cannot be started.
 Tentative plans call for the or ganization of company with $5,- 100000 capital to build and oper- ate the subway.
 Should the scheme prove feasible, the government will permit a north to south subway and perhaps belt line to serve the suburbs, it is an- nouncsd by officials.
 Narrow Streets damned
 Subways are becoming a neces- sity in Santiago, because of in crease in street traffic following rapid growth of the capital. With conditions in the provinces uncsr- tain, thousands of people have come to Santiago to live. giving Santiago province an estimated population of more than a million.
 Streets are narrow, traffic tie ups are numerous and danger Of accidents is increasing. SubWays would take much of the business from the tramways in certain sec tions, but officials think the tram cars may soon be coping with so much additional business that they will not be hurt by subways
