Roosevelt had no desire to talk
about sterilization or any allied
matters. So it was just a pleasant
social affair, and Mr.. Norman left
early.
The eminent Londoner, however,
did have a number Of conferences
with financial men, including Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Woodin, and
monetary problems were discussed,
but the results, If any, were not
made public.
EUROPE Is not feeling at all
II peaceful these days, and this is
due largely to the doings Of German
Chancellor Hitler and his Nazis in
their conflict with the government
Of Austria. The Austrian Nazis
are hurrying across the border to
join their comrades in Germany,
and the threat Of invasion grows
day by day. But, IL 1t comes, the
invaders will be met at the frontier
by a vastly increased Austrian
army. Among other steps by the
Vienna government is the decree
ing Of new short-term enlistment
force In which from 10000 to TO-
600 men will be trained annually
and second army created.

STATE TO BEGIN WORK
ON ROAD PROJECTS
Federal Fund Approved =
Rights OF Way To Be Sc
cured And Bids Asked

AS soon as word was received Sat
urday that the Public Works Admin
istration had approved an allotment
of s3,564,527 for highway construc-
ton in Maryland, E. Brooke Lee,
member Of the State Roads Commits
sion. announced that bids would be
asked Immediately on work it will
finance.
I'VE are ready to co. said Mr..
Lee. 'All plans for the work
widening of the Bel Air and Phila-
delphia roads, improvement OF the
Leonardtown-St. Mary's City high
way and the Annapolis Boulevard
are ready Well begin now to get
the rights of way and work out the
construction details"
Bids will be asked first on sections
of the Bel Air and Philadelphia road
adjacent to Baltimore, and on parts
of St. Mary's City-Leonardtown road,
Mr.. Lee said. Improvement OF the
Annapolis Boulevard from Balti-
more to Lipkin's Corner will follow.
The Maryland allotment will be
divided into fifty per cent portion
for Improvement of the Federal-aid
highway system, twenty-five per cent
ON extensions into and through mu-
inequalities of the Federal system,
and twenty-five per cent on second
airy, or feeder roads.
Form the city limits of Baltimore
as far as Golden Ring, the Philadel-
phia road will be widened to fifty-slx
feet. and from twenty-five feet to
thirty from Golden Ring to Aber-
deem, with eight-foot dirt shoulders
ON the latter section.
The Bel Air road will be widened
to thirty feet from Baltimore to Bel
Air, with eight-foot gravel should
ers on each side.
This type of construction on both
of these highways, according to the
commissions engineers, will allow,
at the cheapest possible cost, further
improvement to forty-foot highways
if future traffic justifies such addi-
tional paving.
Assignment of the $3,564,527 to
Maryland completes the public
works apportionment of the $40O,-
O0O, 900 road-aid fund for all States
except Georgia, where differences be-
tween the Governor and the State
Highway Commission are reported
TO have held up the program.
Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the
Interior and director of the Public
Works Administration, said 500 pub
lie roads projects, offering employ
ment to approximately $4,000 men,
already had cleared his Office and
the United States Bureau of Public
Roads. He said the projects were
situated in 1876 counties in nineteen
States.
Fifteen projects actually We're in
construction, the administrator ad-
ded, and fifteen others would get
