SPEEDED
To BAN S[UNS

Clearance of Washington's alley
slums was a step closer today as
District authorities prepared def
mite plans to get the program
under way. President Roosevelt
yesterday signed the District alley
bill.
In signing the measure the
Chief Executive suggested that
additional funds be sought from
the Public Works Administration
$50 the clearance program can be
started on a more effective basis" "
He declared he did not think the
$500,0O0 revolving fund provided
by the bill would be sufficient.
The Presidents signing was at
tended by a ceremony at the
White House, at which Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins, a leader for
the alley legislation; Mrs. Roose-
velt, the District Commissioners
and other officials were present.
Mrs. Hopkins received the pen
with which President Roosevelt
signed the measure.
President Roosevelt also declared
yesterday he would take immedi-
ate. steps to appoint an agency
to administer the program. Un-
der the provisions of the bill, he
must name an agency or admin
iStrator for the program.
The bill provides that the $780,
900 fund be placed at the disposal
of the agency named by the Presi'
dent. It will be used to acquire
alley homes and replace them
with parks or modern buildings.
Money from sales or leases of
modified property will be returned

300 Island Ponies Branded
In Chincoteague Roundup

6 o'clock they had herded the
large band Of ponies, and soon
were driving them back across the
stretch Of water.
A gala celebration is being held
in connection with the annual
penning, and every store and
house in the community was deco
rated for the occasion.
Origin Of the Chincoteague po-
MES is shrouded in the distant
past. One popular rumor here is
that several of the hardy, wiry
little animals were aboard q
Spanish ship that was wrecked on
q bar off the Virginia coast and
swan ashore.

in the II o u S e, Hep' Mcleod
Representative Mcleod said in his
statement that his decision was
influenced by two factors: first,
the pressure by constituents in his
confessional district as well as
by friends throughout the State
and country; and second, the
entrance of the former governor
into the race.
He said:
"Frankness cOmpeIs me to
eay that two candidates from
the city Of Detroit, believing
In much the same principles of
government, would do much to
defeat each other. Such a
condition would make impOs-
Sible . clean cut decision by
the voters and might result in
the nomination Of . minority
candidate. I shall have no
part in creating such = Situa-
ton.
'It may not be inappropriate
for me to say it is my belief
that in the person Of Cover
nor Gr0esbeck, the voters Of
Michigan, regardless Of party,
have . man whom they can
select as governor, knowing
that he has already proven
himself to be one Of the most
able, fearless, and efficient ad-
ministrators to occupy that
office. They need not be told
that he is progressive and In
dependent"
Representative Mcleod pledged
himself, if returned to Congress,
to continue his fight for a fur
ther strengthening Of the bank
ing structure and the restoration
of normal credit facilities. He
stated that he would seek pas
sage Of his resolution designed to
abolish all unnecessary offices
and overlapping functions in gov.
eminent by the moderni2ation
and reorganization of local gov
ernment units, without curtail.
ment of any necessary service.

MEETING SET
MONDAY P. N.
Bennett Calls Gathering to
Perfect Permanent
Organization

Roy c. Bennett, chairman OF
the county dry forces in the re-
peal campaign last year, has called
a meeting of all prohibitionists OF
the county to gather at the First
Baptist church next Monday eve
ming at 1880 o'clock. All citizens
of the county who are opposed to
the liquor traffic are invited and
urged to attend the meeting, Mr..
Bennett says.
The meeting is called for the
purpose of perfecting a perma-
nent dry organization in Hender-
son county. which will become a
part of the Statewide dry organ
ization, known as the United Dry
Forces of North Carolina. Several
matters of great Importance to
the dry cause will be considered.
Mr.. Bennett states that the pur-
pose of the prohibitionists is ia
form a non-political organization
that will be solely concerned with
the maintenance of prohibition in
this state and the continuance Of
the fight to prevent legalization
of the liquor traffic in North
Carolina and that will stand for
enforcement of the states dry
laws.
