5000 MEN TO BE- GIVEN WORK ON
ARIZONA ROADS AFTER JULY |

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 23.-Wt6h
addition of $427,300 for work on
Highway 60 between the Salt Riv-
er and Cibecue, the tentative Dud /
get for highway construction in Arl"
zona- during the next fiscal year
was adopted Tuesday by the State
Highway Commission as published.
The program provides for expen-
ditures Of nearly nine million dol
lars for the year beginning july /.
1893 and ending July /, 1884, and
will provide work. it is xestima+ed,
for more than 5000 men.
The appropriation for Highway 60
in Gila County was provided for by
transferring s145,oOO which had been
allotted to three projects in the
northern part of the state, which
have been taken over by the forest
service and are being constructed
with forest service funds and un-
der agreement to be oiled with funds
from the same source, and, by al
lotments from funds accruing to the
state from revised method +of dis
trihution of federal aid funds by
the national government and over
ages returning to the highway trea-
sury from other projects.
The program for the year out
lined by the Highway Commission
in the tentative budget as published
two weeks ago is therefore un--
changed except for the addition OF
the work on Highway 60.
The decision ii give more money
to that highway was reached by the
Commission following day Of pub
lie hearing on the budget items
June 10, which was attended by
large delegations from nearly every
county in the state. Eleven of the
county delegations supported the
tentative budget as made up by the
Commission, but the NIaricopa and
Gila delegations were insistent that
more money be allotted to Highway
50.
The Commission found that it
probably would have sufficient funds
during the course OF the year to
make the s427,0OO appropriation
without disturbing the program as
originally outlined, and 4 without
transferring money allotted to any
other road. That amount, according
to the engineering staff, is all that
can be economically expended dur

works and improvements to provide
work for unemployed men.
So far, he pointed out, the states
largest federal aid loan has been
81 100000 for the improvement CT
the Beardsley irrigation project.
Mr.. Campbell, who stressed the
point that he was candidate for
no public office, urged the state to
ioin in a movement to obtain its
lust share of the federal funds
which are now being distributed
through the nation in the form Of
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
money, farm and home loans and
money for similar purposes.
There are numerous projects, he
pointed out, for which, if effort were
put forth and factionalis1n forgot
ten. federal funds might be obtain
ed to finance.
One of the factors which has been
holding Arizona back in this re-
spect, he asserted, is it's internal
fighting and lack Of unani,nity.

PHOENIX, June 23.-If Arizona

benefit of the state at large, it

in federal funds to aid in restoring

ed here yesterday.

yesterday, is Arizona's just prcpor-

ing the year in view OF physical
limitations of the project and its
inaccessibility until the Salt River
bridge is completed.
In view of the seriousness of the
present unemployment situation in
the state, work in the new projects
will begin as rapidly as bids can be
called. contracts awarded and the
necessary machinery set in motion.

SANITY

SANITY - - - comes with work
One result of the depression has
been to bring a good many people
back to sane outlook on life and
the world they live in. That IS par
ticularly true among young men and
women who never had to think
about where the money came from.
I know good many of that kind.
and nearly all Of them are finding
tht kind Of life where they have to
do things for themselves much more
satisfying than an existence III
which everything was done for
them.
That has always been true, that
the only things worth having are
the things one works for. But
good many people didn't know that
until they were forced to work.
DOTJGLAS - - he can figure
If and when MIR. WOodin resigns,
the man slated to take his place as
Secretary of the Treasury is Lewis
Douglas, Director OF the Budget.
Mr.. Douglas has had the respect
of official Washington for good
many years He was the lone Con-
gresham from Arizona for several
terms, and that made him a much
more important figure than either
of the Senators from that State.
He fought a valiant but losing right
against the Boulder Dam project,
which made him a lot of enemies
but a lot more friends.
When Lew Douglas gets into
action he fights along straight

line until he wins or is licked And
when it comes to figures, he can
make them behave like nobody'S
business.

Not only that, the committee

house is IS years old, and has poor
accommodations, and a stone wall
railroad viaduct blocks the en-
trance and slows up apparatus. A
new hose wagon and fire engine
to replace the present ones, called
too old for efficient service, also
are requested.
Purchase of a new hose wagon
for Engine Company No. 13, and
more traffic lights in Southwest

BY z ON TRIAL
FOR ARSON
Witnesses Claim Smith and
PARTON in Pennsylvania
at Time of Fire

Half a dozen witnesses took
the stand to lend strength to
the alibi defense of H. Albert
Smith, 26, and Edward j. Parl-
ton, %, accused of setting fire
to the Sigma Chi frat house,
today before Justice Peyton Cor
don and a jury in District Su-
preme Court.
Miss Helen M. Fried, attractive
brunette student of Goucher Col
lege, was the outstanding wit
ness. She told Of having a
date with Smith and PARTON at
her home in New Freedom, Pa,
on July 8.
She testified she received a
telephone call about Z a. m. in
forming her the two defendants
were in New Freedom, but were
going to York to have their
clothes pressed and find a garage
for their car.
Seen In New York
Later in the day, Miss Fried
said, she journeyed to York with
a girl friend, met Smith and
PARTON and after spending the
day with them, the two George
Washington students drove back
to this city. Cross-eXamination
by John j. Sirica, the young
prosecutor, failed to shake her
testimony.
Paul Weinmuller and his wife,
who operate a garage at Gun
powder Falls, Pa, IS miles from
here, stated Smith and PARTON
drove up to their establishment,
their car disabled, shortly after
5 a. m. on July 9. The fire is
alleged to have started at 5 a.
m. on that day.
Other Witnesses
Sirica was unable to shake the
story of Smith in cross-examin-
ing him at the opening of to-
days session. Attorneys Percy
H. Marshall and Fred ]. Rice,
for the defense, stated they would
call three or four more witnesses,
including PARTON before con-
Guiding their case.

Leslie C. Garnett, who has been

Attorney, was the first witness
called by the defense today in
District Supreme Court in the
100000 damage suit of Mrs.
Louise T. Chambers against the
Riggs National Bank and 18
former officers of tse merged
Farmers and Mechanics National
Bank.
His testimony dealt with nego-
tiations he had with the defend
ants as legal counsel for Mrs.
Chambers, which terminated when
she signed a release in favor OF
the bank upon payment of $10.-
900 to her in 1929.
Questioned by Frank j. Hogan,
chief defense counsel, Garnett
said Mrs. Chambers was carefully
instructed regarding her rights
before she signed the release and
was given the release to read for
a day or two before she signed
it. Garnett's testimony was de-
signed to strengthen the conten-
ton Of the bank that the re-
lease relieved it of a damage
verdict.

No Such Critter
ASLive Blue
Eagle

Local NRA officials are faced
with many knotty problems
every day, but they believe the
most perplexing request put up
to them SO far came from a visi-
tor who demanded to know what
kind of a live bird looking like
a Blue Eagle could be displayed
in a store window.
Hastily delving into their
store of ornithological informa-
ton the officials decided that
there was no such animal.
They thought over blue-birds,
indigo buntings, blue. herons,
bluejays and purple martins,
but none of the suggestions
seemed to fit the bill.
Whereupon the visitor looked
detected, quietly left, and the
local NRA headquarters in the
Washington Board of Trade
resumed it's normal tranquility.
