"For the national defense, these air

ROOSEVELT SAILS
F.. ON RETURN VOYAGE
Due to Reach Capital Mon
day or Tuesday, Bringing
Vacation to End.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG,
Staff Correspondent Of The Star.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, August ST.
President Roosevelt brought his vaca-
ton at Hyde Park to a close today
and is on his way back to Washington
aboard the palatial sea-going yacht
Nourmahal as the guest of Vincent
Astor, one of his old friends and
Dutchess County neighbors.
The trim, white, 3,O00-ton yacht
pulled out from the dock of a local
lumber company at few minutes past
noon, and is scheduled to dock at the
Washington Navy Yard late next Mon
day or early Tuesday.
It is not the purpose to head directly
for the Virginia Capes but first to
journey through Long Island Sound
and loaf around the waters Of Block
Island, off the coast Of Rhode Island,
before heading South. 1t Is understood
the presidential party will indulge in
some sword fishing of Block Island
tomorrow. These fish are reported to
be running well In that vicinity now,
and the President has manifested a
desire to try his luck.
Morning Hours Busy.
Before motoring from Hyde Park to
the yacht dock the President put in a
busy morning at his desk cleaning up
as much business as possible before
these four or five days at sea. The
most important work of the morning
was a long talk over the telephone
with Gen. Hugh S. johnson, recovery
administrator As result OF this talk
the President sailed with confidence
that the coal code. the last of the basic
codes to be solved, would be ready for
his signature when he arrives back at
the White House.
The President made it evident as he
talked with newspaper men from the
deck of the yacht just before sailing,
that he was extremely happy as re-
suit of the good news furnished by Gen.
johnson.
The President was accompanied on
his ride from Hyde Park to the yacht
by Mrs Roosevelt and his mother, Mrs.
James Roosevelt, Mrs. Anna Curtis Dali,
his daughter, and her two small chill
dren The latter group went aboard
and remained on deck, talking with the
members of yachting party, until the
time came to shove off.
Confers With Moley.
Prof. Raymond Moley, who recently
resigned as Assistant Secretary of State,
to become editor of a national weekly
to be financed by Mr.. Astor, was among
those on hand to bid 'bon-voyage" to
the President. He and the President
conversed on the after deck for several
minutes alone. Prof. Moley, accom-
panied by Mr.. Astor, then came over
to the group Of newspaper men and

GERARD ADVOCATES
SOVIET RECOGNITION
Former Envoy to Germany Holds
Americans Want Business
With Russians.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 31.-James w.
Gerard, former American Ambassador
to Germany, returned from Europe to-
day on the liner Conte di Savoia and
advocated recognition of Russia by the
United States.
Gerard held the business men of
America want to do business with Rus
sia and the only way this can be
achieved with any degree of success Is
by having diplomatic and consular rep
resentatives.
Asked whether he brought back any
new thoughts on the present program in
Germany, Gerard replied:
Eyes. I have a new idea which de-
fines Hitlerism. It is a crusade against
intelligence As see it, three things
can happen in Germany. One will be
restoration of the monarchy: second, q
general war, or third, civil war;
Gerard said the French people were
watching the Roosevelt recovery pro-
gram with intense interest. and that he
thought President Roosevelt was sent
by Heaven at time that 1t seemed the
country would not last on its old
schedule for more than three weeks"
Gerard spent five weeks at Cape An
tibes, where he went for the Mediter-
ranean bathing and yachting.

ARMY FUND DELAY
REVEALED BY DERN
$4,000, 900 to $50, 900, 900
for Modernizing Held Back
for Geneva Results.

An Army modernization program Of
$4,000. 900 to $4,000 900 for aviation
and land forces Is being held up until
the results Of the forthcoming Geneva
Disarmament Conferences are known,
Secretary OF War Dern said today, fol-
lowing conferences with public works
officials during the past week
This program calls for additional air
planes, mechanization and motorization
Of Infantry and Artillery units, long
sought by the Army Secretary Dern
said, however. no steps can be taken
at this time until it is known what def
mite agreements are reached at Geneva
looking toward reduction of land forces
Time for Modernization.
He said it was his opinion, as well as
the opinion of Army experts, that now
IS the time to press for modernization
by obtaining funds of the Public Works
Administration. 1t would be a difficult
matter, he explained. to get the ap-
preparations through the ordinary
channels due to economy measures.
Since the modernization program
would put factories and men to work
Immediately, Mr.. Dern said it would
carry out one Of the principal objects
OF the public works program which is
primarily recovery program.
American airplane manufactures at
present are in a critical situation, War
Department officials said, and a pro-
gram Of about $4,000, 900 for new air
planes not only would help to revive
the industry, but would give employ
ment to skilled mechanics not other
wise affected by ordinary public works
projects.
Rivers and Harb0rs Sum.
Secretary Dern said approximately
$139, 100000 had been allocated for
rivers and harbors and flood control
projects. Ordinary dredging work in
rivers consists of 70 per cent labor
and practically all the work on food
control projects is done by hand labor,
he said.
With a view to obtaining needed funds
for various Army housing projects, he
added that the War Department NAV
submit a supplemental public works list
involving 100 projects at later date.
Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown, chief of Army
Engineers, Is to continue in Office only
until such time as his successor can
be appointed, it was made known today.
His four-year tenure already has eX-
pired. Secretary Dern said the War
Department would adhere to its policy
OF not reappointing chiefs of the 'vari-
GUS branches, and In this connection he
indicated that Gen. Douglas Macarthur
chief of staff, would not be reappointed
at the expiration of his term, which
has another year to go.

Life. property and the interests Of

any economy program which curtails
the Commerce Department airway aids,
Maj. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois, chief
of the Army Air Corps, declared today.
The generals statement brought an
immediate response from Rex Martin.
director Of airways of the departments
aeronautics branch, who declared that
Foulois apparently has been misin-

posed Department Of Commerce econo-

HULL, Mass, August 31.-The code

five girls probably owed their lives

several miles off shore the motor stop
ped and their efforts to start it failed.
Darkness came and an ebbing tide

girls, in tears, clung to each other
in the bottom of the boat. Suddenly
they heard the roar of powerful motors,
and a long, shadowy hull hove to

STRINGS REMOVED
FROM SEWER FUND
Commissioners Receive ST..
759, 500 Allotment as Grant.
Plan Immediate Work.

The Commissioners today received
formal notice from the Federal Public
Works Administration of the allotment
Of s1,759,50 Of Federal funds for sewer
projects in the District in letter
which made no reference to any condi-
tions requiring repayment Of any part
of the fund.
When Public Works Administrator
Harold L. Ickes announced ALLEGATION Of
this amount to the District more than
a week ago, a statement issued from
his Office at the time said that Con-
gress will determine the division of this
fund as to the revenues Of the District
of Columbia and the Federal Govern
ment."
This gave rise to speculation at the
District Building as to whether the
money was being made available as q
loan or an outright grant, both of which
are made possible by the recovery act.
During this period Of speculation, some
local officials were seriously concerned
over the question whether the Dis
trict could use the money in the form
of a loan, since the municipal Govern
ment is not empowered to borrow with
out specific authority from Congress.
Regarded As Grant.
District Auditor Daniel J. Donovan
said today that in the absence of any
restriction or qualification in the letter,
the ALLEGATION of this fund can properly
be regarded as an outright grant to the
District
It was pointed out today that the
District could not enter into Obiiga-
tions predicated upon possible future
action by Congress.
The letter from Mr. Ickes, which
reached the District Building today, did
not contain the qualifying statement,
but merely recited that IAN allotment
of $1,759, 500 has been made to the
Board of Commissioners" for sewer
work.
The Commissioners held an informal
conference upon receipt of the letter,
and in making public the communica-
ton said they would proceed with the
approved projects under the terms of
the letter, taking it at its face value.
Projects Are Listed.
The projects to be carried out from
these Federal funds are
Northeast boundary sewer, $3.50 900;
Piney Branch relief sewer, 100000;
outfall sewer extension, 1920, 500; Upper
Potomac interceptor, SIS, 900; Anacostia
interceptor, with pumping station, $751;
600, and for board of sanitary engi-
neers to study future sewer system re-
quirements, $4,000. Total, $1,759,500
It was indicated at the District Build
ing that efforts will be made to get the
work underway as quickly as possible,
probably within the next four months
The Piney Branch project will relieve
the food condition which occurred after
