VERA Relief
To Be Based
Local Projects
District Engineer TO Visit
Valley to Organize
Work Project

Relief work to care for all Needy
families in the Priest Rapids valley
will be provided this winter, IT was
indicated this week following an inVes-
tigation into relief possibilities by
committee appointed recently, and
meeting of the Benton County Welfare
Board Tuesday.
In order to secure work, relief ap-
plicants must register with the VERA,
showing need Of funds to carry them
over the winter or until regular en-
ployment can be secured. At the pres
ent time such registration must be
made at the Prosser office, but those
who are unable to make a trip there
should leave their names With FRANK
Clark or E. r. Griner at Hanford OF
r. r. Woods at White Bluffs. These
men are members Of the local commit
tee handling the matter.
| According to Mr.. Griner, who on
Monday discussed local relief problems
with Miss Loretta OMalley, Benton
county relief supervisor, and II. v.
Pringle, district engineer of the WERA,
men placed on relief will be given en-
ployment on local work projects ANY
project may be used as work pro1ect
provided 1t is sponsored by an irr1ga-
ton district, school district, or munich
pal or county government. Only labor
will be furnished by the VERA, all
materials to be furnished by the Or
ganization sponsoring the project.
In case there are no work pro]ects
in the locality relief applicants will
be given an order allowing them TO
secure groceries and other necessities
within a certain amount. Such sup
plies must be secured from a store
which has qualified with the WERA.
ANY store may qualify by filling in
the proper forms and agreeing that all
supplies will be sold at cost plus ~
per cent profit.
The Benton County Welfare Board,
set up last year for the purpose OF SUI
pervising relief programs, Will ACT IN
an advisory capacity only this year,
as the VERA has made no provision
for such bodies. D. S. Wilkinson and
E. F. Newton, members OF the board
made a trip to kenneWlcK lueSoay
to meet with the board and to discuss
relief matters.
1t is anticipated that the Priest Rap
, ids irrigation district will sponsor a
:, work project, to be started in the neal
future. Such project will probably
:, consist of either improvements or laC-
: erals or the cleaning up of abandoned
orchard tracts.
Mr.. Pringle will be in White Bluffs
: Saturday to investigate local relief
e project with officials Of the irrigation
. district. Another woman is to be hlret
to assist Miss O'Malley in her work O.
. investigating relief applicants condl
e lions, and she will soon be III Tn

There should be no government
competition with private capital in
constructing homes for sale"
His statement came shortly after
Ickes, attacking interpretations which
he said had been placed on his re-
marks in . press conference Thurs
day, fastened to declare that he

TREATY EXPIRES IN 1896

London, Nov. 24-(P)-In the event
the present naval limitations treaty
Is junked, the United States probably
will seek an informal accord with
Great Britain on q general naval
policy in order to prevent q naval
building race between the two pow
ers, it was learned authoritatively
Saturday.
Such an informal accord probably
would include undertakings to keep
each other fully advised of the 9TH

Elementary.
The threat Of q limitless naval
building race between the three great
rulers Of the seas hung over the tri-
power conversations Is hope was vir-
tually abandoned for . compromise
on Japan's demand for naval parity.
Already deadlocked, the negotia-
lions between the United States, ia
pan and Great Britain reached Z
crisis Friday when the British sided
with America in declining to recog-
nize Nippon's demands for outright
equality.
Officially. however, the converse
tions are continuing until next week
at least.
Norman H. Davis, American del
egate, and Sir John Simon, British
foreign secretary, spent Friday play
ing golf and discussing the troubled
situation.
The British expressed themselves
as still hopeful that some sort OF
compromise could be reached, and
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Japan
csc delegate, limited in . press inter-
view Friday night that he would
make q "conciliatory move" at =
meeting next week between the
British and Americans.
The conversations between the
three great sea powers were UNDER
taken with view to continued limit
alton OF their navies on the expira-
ton Of the Washington and London
treaties in 1885. Under these treaties,
undertaken In 1922. the United States
