KING TO ASK P. v. A..
FUND FOR CENTER.
Committee Chairman Plans
New Appeal for Money
From Government.

Chairman King of the Senate District
Committee, who believes the Federal
Government, through the Public Works
Administration. should come to the Dis
trict's assistance to enable it to build
the badly needed first unit of the Mu-
nicipal Center project plans TO make
a new appeal early this week In support
of the project.
The District has spent in the neigh
borhood of S6,000,00O for acquisition of
the large area designated by Congress
for future municipal structures, but is
without funds to go forward with the
initial building, to house the Police,
Juvenile and Municipal Courts, Police
Department and possibly other agencies.
The new Board of District Commis-
SionerS will soon renew the request OF
the former board for grant, it was
stated yesterday at the District Building.
The District has asked Public Works
Administrator Ickes to approve grant
of S4,900,000 for starting the new home
planned for the District administrative
agencies.
The plan has been that the present
District Building. on which valuation
of s5Oo.Ooo has been placed, would be
turned over to the Federal Government
at that figure. This would make Suf-
ficient funds available, all together, for
the first unit of the center.
The former Board of Commissioners.
including DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer
and Gen. Herbert z. Crosby, recently
succeeded by Melvin c. Hazen and
George E. Allen, several times has urged
approval of the public works funds, cit
ing many reasons.
The new board. probably in a few
days, will affirm this action in a formal
statement to Secretary Ickes.

WON'T QUIT AT $50
JohnSon'S Assistant Says De.
votion Would NuiIify Ef-
feet of "Whip."

Despite the clamor that has been
raised against overtime in the National
Recovery Administration, there are en-
ployes there you couldn't drive away
frcm their jobs at 4:30 with a whip, -
according to Alvin Brown, admin:stra- =
tive assistant to Gen. Hugh Johnson,
the administrator.
Brown emphasized this devotion to
duty in a letter to z. Claude Babcock,
president of the American Federation
Of Government Employees, Who had
transmitted to the National Recovery
Administration resolution from the
or compensatory time of for overtime
work. The resolution was the first
adopted by the organization, which
was formed as the outgrowth of dis
satisfaction with working conditions,
and Browns letter was made public yes
terdsy by Babcock, together with his
reply.
The National Recovery Administra-
ton cficial explained that the workers
enjoy working because they feel that
they have part in a cause that is
worth giving all they have to-" although,
he added. he realizes that there are
some people with home obligations or
outside interests who cannot afford
such complete devotion" Gen. john
son, however, his aide continued, has
undertaken to have conditions made as
pleasant and satisfactory as it is pos
sible to make them"
In response, Babcock, admitting the
high principles Of the National Recov-
cry Administration, hazarded the belief
that. recognizing in every one the
right to have his fun out of work. II he
desires, We must still be absolutely sure
that We are not imposing distorted
idea of fun by lengthening unjustifiably
hours of labor.
The fact that many Of your work
ers are 6esirous of staying on the job,
even if driven away from it, as you
suggest, with the whip, does not re-
move the necessity for having estab-
lished recognized rules of employment
which will give to each worker the priv
ilege of enjoying himself elsewhere
than at his ONCE, If such is his tenn

only aids the human needs Of today, but
insures health to the citizens OF to-

LAGUARD|A PLEDGE
FACING OBSTACLES
Tammany's Grip on Alderman
Board Threatens Charter
Reforms Defeat.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 25.-Mayor-
elect Fiorello H. La Guardia's program
for reform of the citys complicated. ex-
pensive government faces one gigantic
obstacle--Tammany Halls grip on the
Board OF Aldermen.
Charter revision-one Of La Guardia's
principal promises to the electorate
will be fought with every resource Tam
many can command. and the Board OF
Aldermen will be one OF the few re-
sources left to the Hall after January /
The charter revision plan which La
Guardia will strive to have enacted was
laid down by Samuel Seabury, whose
exhaustive investigation ct the regime
Of former Mayor James J. Walker at
tracted Nationwide attention.
Board Must Approve.
The new Board of Aldermen, in which
Tammany will hold 48 Of the IS seats
must give its approval to any revision
attempted by the city. The other body
which must vote its approval is the
Board of Estimate, carried by La Guar
dia's Fusion party.
Today the mayor elect. making his
first public appearance since his elec-
tior., declared he would move rapidly tc
carry out his campaign promise OF
eliminating slums by replacing tene-
ments with sanitary, low-priced apart
ment houses.
UNLESS we move rapidly" he said
Federal funds available will be allo-
Gated to other cities seeking similar
fumes and there will be none left for
U.S."
Addressing a meeting of the National
Public Housing Conference, he said one
OF his first ofiicial acts after January /
when he takes office. will be to seek
State legislation for the creation of q
municipal housing commission.
Must Go to Legislature.
As Tammany prepares to fight to
block reorganization, it becomes appar-
ent that La Guardia will be forced to
carry his reform program to the State
Legislature for enactment. Political
observers believe one of the first steps
of his administration will be to lay be-
for the Legislature his plan for a new
charter.
Behind the belief of political leaders
that the aldermen will never vote for
charter revision is the fact they would
be asked to vote away their jobs. La
Guardia proposes to abolish the board,
which he has termed useless. Each
alderman receives a $1,000 annual SAL
ary.
From Tammany's viewpoint the board
is a powerful political instrument. 1t
means IS IS 900 jobs and until the re-
cent Fusian sweep 81 of the aldermen
were either Tammanyites or Tammany
allies.
La Guardia's chances for obtaining
charter revision by the Legislature seem
better. observers say, even though the
Democrats retain control of the Senate
by one vote.
It Is pointed out that three Of the
Democratic members are from the
Bronx. home county of Joseph v. Nc
Kee. defeated independent mayoral can.
didate, who also advocated charter re-
vision. These Fusion leaders believe that
since Edward j. Flynn, Bronx leader,
backed Mckee, the Bronx Senators are
more or less committed to charter
changes.
