FEDERAL GRANT
+ To MEET COST
RISE SEEN
Additional Money May Free
, Idle Cash of State to
+ Speed Up Program

BALTIMORE, Aug. 31.-Mary-
land officials today believed they
had another means of obtaining
additional Federal funds for con-
Struction.
The proposition was laid before
Governor Ritchie by Abel VOL
man, regional engineer of the
Public Works Commission, who
pointed out that the State stands
an excellent chance Of getting a
80 per cent Federal grant on a
part of authorized State Construc-
tion projects for which contracts
have not yet been let.
Analysis Must Be Made
The Public Works Administra-
tion, Wolman said, has inter-
preted the Public Works Act so
as to allow such a grant.
An analysis of each Maryland
project in this category must be
made, breaking down the con-
Struction costs into overhead and
labor and material costs.
The anticipated additional Fed
eral grant will be made on the
difference of the cost of the
building today and the estimated
cost at the time the project was
approved.
It was pointed out that costs
have increased materially since
most of the projects received ap-
proval. In cases where the con-
tracts already have been let, the
grants will not apply.
To Loosen Idle Funds
The purpose of making these
grants, Wolman explained, is to
encourage the expenditure of
appropriations which otherwise
might be allowed to lie idle be-
cause the State does not feel it
can spend the money at this
time in view of the fact that
the construction will cost more
than originally anticipated.
1t is not definitely known just
how much money Maryland can
claim on this basis.

Mattert1 Was Robinson
CrusOe' While MISSING
Built Crude Home Of Scrub
Growth and Shot Wild
Game For Livelihood

MOSCOW, July 11-(P)-Jimmie Mat
tern lived the Is days he was lost In
the wilds Of northern Siberia in the
best Robinson Crusoe tradition.
The plane he was flying around the
world crashed in q hilly spot near
the Anadyr river; he suffered cuts
and bruises; when his chocolate and
biscuits gave out, he shot small game.
and, while he awaited boat to take
him down stream, built a crude hut
for protection against cold winds.
The story was told Tuesday in a
dispatch to the newspaper Izvestia
from Khabarovsk, whence the Amer
lean aviator took off on June IA for
Nome, Alaska. This is the tale
Izvestia related:
Mattern was only IA hours out Of
Khabarovsk when his motor began to
sputter.

and pressed on. Finally the engine
failed and the plane crashed three
miles from the river on which Anadyi
village Is situated.
Its propeller was bent; the right
wing smashed; the fuselage and mo-
tor damaged. Mattern was hurt. but
not seriously
He started for the river. The
journey took eight days. His food
gave out after three days. Then, ap-
parently, he made good use of the
fishing tackle and rifle he had with
him.
Built Crude House
He built a house OF scrub growth
for the weather was cold, and waited
by the river six days until on June 20
fishermen in two boats passed. They
heard his shouts and took him to
their camp IL miles from Anadyr.
Shortly afterwards he went to the
coast, and Soviet guards went to his
assistance.
Mattern asked the guard to procure
the motor and instruments from the
plane. This was done, for the Amer
lean decided to abandon 1t.
It was reported Tuesday that Mat
tern would be taken to Nome by Pilot
Levanovsky. Russian filler ordered TO
fly from Khabarovsk to Anadyr.

headed by william Alexander, ar
rived in Nome Monday night from

Of the flying pair that they might
