BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

10y DC4NNEAAN AOANS II = "A
Announcement is expected late

public works funds to Federal
departments.
A number of departments, no.
tably War, Navy, Commerce and
Interior, have been applicants for
money from the Public Works
Administration, and those that
are successful will be in a posi-
ton to reemploy some of the help
they have been forced to dismiss.
No intimation was forthcoming
this afternoon as to the identity
of the departments which might
be favored. Should the Com
merce Department be included
among them, the situation will be
greatly eased for a number of
employees of the Bureau of STAN
dards, in particular, according to
the present outlook.

That department was much in
the limelight today in connection

CODE FOR TAX|S
ASKS RETURN
Of METERS
Legality of Provision 0ueS-
toned at District Bldg.
Lawyers Divided

A serious question as to the pos
sibility of enforcing a taxicab
code in the District which con-
tains provision for the use of
meters has arisen at the District
Building.
The question resulted from the
fact that in the District appropria-
ton act there is included a
specific clause which prohibits the
use of any funds appropriated by
that act for the pormulgation,
publiciznig or enforcing of a
regulation requiring cabs to be
equipped with meters.
Attorneys Are Divided
Peoples Counsel Richmond B.
Keech is of the opinion that, since
the District appropriation act was
signed by the President after the
National Recovery Act had been
approved, any code providing for
taxi meters would be invalid.
William A. Roberts, assistant
corporation counsel, who has been
designated as counsel to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, is of the
opinion that the code would be
valid. Roberts has informed the
commission that District indus
tries are included under the re-
covery act and that, therefore, a
taxicab code could be enforced
by the Federal Government in
dependent of the restrictions of
the local act.
The question arose after re-
ports that the president of a local
taxi company is preparing a code
Traction Code Studied
Officials of the local traction
companies today revealed that
they are studying a code for
their industry, but indicated no
definite action will be taken
pending the PRONUNCIATION of a
code now being formulated by

MILK MEN 8 AID
PLEASES SEAL

Three Montgomery county milk
producers today volunteered their
services in the gathering of data
affecting the question of milk
costs and distribution in Wash
ington. Elwood Seal, counsel for
the Senate subcommittee which is
investigating the milk question
here, wants the information.
The men who called on Seal to

King, both directors of the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association, and Clay
Plummer, of Gaithersburg, an in
dependent producer.
Seal said he hoped other milk
producers would assist him. Mat
ters now under consideration are
the existence of a preferred list"
of customers to whom milk is
furnished at prices from l to 2
cents below the market price per
quart and the charges made by
dairy wagon drivers that they are
being mulcted.

Traffic conditions in Washing

He has just rounded out 20 years

Makes Few Arrests
With all the traffic that passes
his intersection during the days,
Hartman was compelled to ap-
pear in court as an arresting
officer less than a half dozen
times last year, he said.
Asked for the reason why local
traffic has improved, Hartman
said:
"Of course, those that are on
the streets in automobiles are
driving better than they used
to; but machinery is made
better than it used to be
and that accounts for better
action in getaways. Then there
is something else that I notice

Recovery Fight Real as War,
Indiana Governor Tells

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, August 31.-The
struggle to restore economic equilibrium
is as grim and as real as any war, Col.
Paul v. McNutt, Governor of Indiana,
told the Young Democrats Clubs Of
America in the keynote address before
their national convention here today.
1T calls for the same unself1sh serv-
ice, energy, intelligence and solidarity;
it requires the same willingness to give
all that we are and that we hope to
be without thought of reward save the
accomplishment of high purposes" said
the former national commander of the
American Legion.
Decrying the 'vacillation and ineffec-
tiveness" of the Hoover experiment
which brought this country into leader
less uncertainty and economic chaos"
the speaker asserted under President
Roosevelt Eve are not failing, but are
moving swiftly toward economic sta
bility and improved social conditions" !"
He lauded the manner in which the
President week by week unfolded the
program which leads us to new order,
under our American form of govern
ment, far better order than that
which war and economic revolution
swept away"
Purposes of Recovery Act.
Among the legislative steps taken by
the administration in the national
economic crisis Col. McNutt dwelt at
length on the national recovery act.
Describing what he termed as a
changed world from the time "the
ruthless creed free competition was ap-
propriate enough" the speaker said:
"The national recovery act is a measure
devised to eliminate the anarchy of
the competitive system and to anchor
ate the occurrence of our spirals of in
fation and deflation." 1t is a state
ment of new creed that the American
people, through their self-reliance and
ingenuity. can control overcapacity and
reconstruct the purchasing power"
