Secretary Ickes. the public works
administrator. today halted submis-
sion of new non Federal projects and
instructed public works State engineers
to inform prospective applicants for
funds that further requests could not
be considered.
The Secretary directed his admin
istration to concentrate on placing
on a work basis the projects for
which allotments already have been
made.
A survey Of applications now on
hand in the Capital and in State
public works Offices revealed a total
Of more than s3,500000 900 worth OF
projects on file for which no allot-
ments have been made and for which
no money is Immediately available
because of exhaustion of the original
$1,000, 100000 Of public works funds.
State engineers were directed to ad-
wise public bodies to save the expense
and effort of hastily preparing more
projects for submission.
Quota Reaches Peak.
The present "back log" Of possible
projects If further public works funds
are made available was considered
sufficient by the Secretary to meet
any probable immediate need for con-
sideration Of further applications.
"It would be unfair" Ickes said,
''to permit municipalities to spend
money in the preparation Of projects
when there will be practically no
chance Of the Government being able
to finance them"
Schedule Asked.
The State engineers were instructed
to forward to Washington a schedule
of projects now pending and proceed
"to clean up pending projects" with
an idea Of sending in a final report
not later than the last day Of the
present month.
"The important job ahead Of us now
is to get all work under contract and
push it as rapidly as possible" Ickes
instructed the engineers.

MARKETING PACT
SIGNED BY OIL MEN
Redrafted Form Will Be
Submitted to Ickes
for Approval.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With an agreement by signatories
to compacts covering marketing prac-
tices and . gasoline sterilization pool,
differences with the oil industry on
these points were cleared up last night.
A conference Of those who signed
the agreements concluded sessions af-
ter reaching an accord on redrafted
forms to be submitted to Secretary
Ickes, the oil administrator, for ap-
provsl.
Pending q study by the secretary
OF the forms, including new standard
forms Of contracts under the mar
keting agreement, representatives at
the session declined to comment.
Modification Included.
It was said, however, that sigma
lures of some of the representatives
had already been affixed to the docu-
ments.
The general understanding was the
redrafts of the agreements embodied
all notifications imposed by Secre-
tary Ickes in approving the previous
agreements. No authoritative source
would confirm this, however, the new
standard forms of contracts were to
meet objections imposed by Ickes on
the previous contract forms, one of
which he disapproved and another on
which he demanded Corrections"
The conferees left for a group to
be formed later, the organization for
administration and management OF
the stabiization pool.
Equipment Allowed.
Meanwhile, the secretary approved
a modification within the oil code it
self, modifying the rule which pro-
hibited the sale of any equipment by
company distributing petroleum
products, and which had worked con-
siderable hardship on distributors, who
sold specialized equipment along with
petroleum products.
Under the modification. the prohi-
bition against the sale of so-called
heavy equipment, such as pumps,
tanks, greasing pits and the like Is
retained, but sales may now be made
of smaller equipment, such as grease
guns display racks and the like, pro-
vided they are not conditioned on the
sale of petroleum products offered by
the equipment dealer, and are made
at the same terms as those offered by
purchasers outside the industry.
