PHILADELPHIA baseball fans,
as we anticipated, have mani
fest their agitation over the
passing Of Aloysius Simmons, the
celebrated clouter, from the home
grounds of the Athletics, along
with two other leading cogs ia
Mr.. Mack's one-time championship
aggregation. But there's some re-
verse English on it.
The papers have been printing
daily the detailed accomplishments
Of Simmons, Haas and Dykes in be-
half of the Chicago White Sox.
Every time AL, Mule on Jimmy
was instrumental in breaking up
ball game. you could almost hear
the echo Of anguish in the neigh
borhood Of Slibe Park or the City

But what do you think most of
the shouting has been all about?

The fact is that by any system

anyway, but meanwhile the plight
Of the AS cannot be blamed on
the conditions which forced the
club to sell Aloysius for upwards
of $4,000 in cash, gold standard
style.
No one disputes that the As

Special Washington Correspondent Of he
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Further progress to-
ward presentation of the Miami-Key West Overseas
Highway project to the public works administrative
board awaits the return to Washington of Judge H.
I'll. Taylor and j. L. Lester, Congressman Mark Will
cox said today.
Taylor left Washington Monday with an official
of the roads bureau of the department of agriculture
bound for flying visit to Florida for the purpose of
adding to the data which the highway committee and
Congressman Wilcox will submit to the public works
board.
Lester was in Washington early this week, con-
ferring with Wilcox regarding the transfer Of the
highway project data from the R. F. c., where unsuc-
cessfu attempts to secure loan had been made at
iptgyals for months, to Che pubic works board.
Both men arc expected by Wilcox to return here
within few days.
The bridge proponents, in their plea to the public
works board will ask outright grant of 80 percent
of the estimated $1O.OOOOOO needed to finance the
project, Wilcox said. loan of 10 percent will be
asked to finance the balance, he said. u
While the public works program contains no
specific ALLEGATION of funds for projects similar to the
Overseas Highway, the board is empowered to fl
nance them through grants and loans, giving first
consideration to the government projects.

ment was reached at a meeting
attended by James Nj. Cox, James
P. Warburg, American technical
expert, and Finance Minister
Georges Bonnet, of France.
The stroke of master-diplomacy
in effecting an agreement was de-
scribed as having been accom-
plished when Cox cast aside ira
ditional diplomatic tactics and
laid the cards on the table regard
ing American position.
The French. severely burned in
postwar initiation, were said to
have been completely lacking
comprehension of the American
internal program and its definite
detectives. and were fearful that
the United States was on the road
TO wild initiation which would
have worldwide repercussions
Cox and Warburg put them right
on the matter.
That the French had been will
ing to quit the conference over
the sterilization Issue was au-
thoritstivsty confirmed.
With the conference apparently
safely through this crisis both
Americans and British expressed
highest hopes Of real accomplish
ments.

Britain Starts War On City Sums;
London S East End Knotty Problem
By OSCAR LE1DING
(By Associated PressI

LONDON, June 22.-London's
dens of dirt and disease are the
country's knottiest problem in a
five-year offensive to wipe the
slums from the national scene.
Every community has been CIV
en- until September 80 by the min
lister of health to survey its I'M
healthful areas and submit pro-
gram for complete abolition by
1938--with only London allowed
any extra grace.
Must Seek Land Room
The worlds largest city thinks
it needs little grace not only be-
cause of the relative size and ex-
tent of it's sore spots but because
the population of those districts
are dense and there is no spare
land.
All slum clearance here must be
based on the re-housing of dis
placed peoples. Since they are
poor and many need to cling to
their locality to be near what work
they can get. they resist attempts
to move them to suburban areas.
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor
of the exchequer. is authority for
one story reflecting the philosophy
of slum jewellers refusing to be
dislodged.

So complex is the city's problem
that not even the London county

says. stretches northward in a

New Quarantine Station
For Key West Included
In Industrial Program
Bids On Various Sites
For Building viii Be
Called For Some Time
During Summer
BY PAUL MAY
Special Washington Correspondent

Special Washington Correspondent
Of The Citizen
WASHINGTON, D. c., June
22.--Ths project for construction
Of a new quarantine station at
Key West is TO have a place in
the new industrial recovery build
ing program, il was learned TO-
day at the treasury department.
Bids on sites for the Key West
building will be called for be-
fore the end of the summer, and
probably within the next thirty
days, officials Of the supervising
architects office said.
Formal announcement of the
recovery program must wait on
official appointment of the new
relief and public works ad-
nninistrator, but the treasury and
postoffice departments have been
instructed to go ahead full speed
on those projects which are slated
for inclusion in the program, Of
ficials said. The Key West pro-
jeet is among this plumber.
Inclusion Of the Key West pro-
ject in the new program was pre-
dicted largely on the fact that
the project was among those
recommended to congress by the
treasury department in 1881. Al
that time, the department recon.
nended limit Of cost for the
Key West building of 500, 900
This recommendation will be con-
trolling as a maximum limit, un-
der the new act, but it has moi
yet been determined whether this
full amount will be aIlocated for
the project, officials said.
Provisions for the recovery
act. making it possible for the
government to get immediate
possession of a site by filing
notice of It's selection, without
waiting for condemnation pro-
ceedings, viii be invoked in the
event that an amicable agreement
for purchase of the site selected
cannot be speedily reached, it was
indicated at the department.
Type plans will probably be
used in preparing drawings for
the new building, it was said at
the drafting division Of the
treasury. 1t will be possible to
save both time and money in this
way, if a site can be secured
which is adaptable to such sys-
tenn Of planning, treasury archi-
tects said.

further program involving an
equal area and more than $4,000
persons was under way when the
1881 financial crisis put brakes on
its progress.
Now, seeking to take advantage
of low building costs and low
money rates. the government has
launched vigorous campaign to
clear out unhealthful areas within
five years throughout the country
and within as short a period as
possible in London.
