Ickes today rescinded allotments
totaling $23,670,500 to seven
cities, made to finance low-cost

The cities to which the allot-
ments had been made were Brook

Atlanta, Indianapolis and Chi
cago. The administrator ex-
planned, however, that this does
not mean the seven projects have
been abandoned by the PWA, as
some Of them may be constructed
by the Housing Corporation.
In each case, except that Of
Hutchinson Kan, the allotments
were rescinded because the local
interests sponsoring the projects
failed to meet the PWA require
ments as to equity after the allot-
ment was made. In the case Of
the Kansas project, the applicant

eign Service, declared last night in

Of his tenth annual series.
The first occurred Immediately

son and mutual compromise, DR..
Walsh said, adding:
'The second crisis came when
economic interests Of the slave

settled by the sword.
''ThiS generation is facing

'OPENPR|CE'H HAS
TRADE JOKER

Consider the sad case Of the
manufacturer who wishes both
to obey the NRA code for his
industry and to sell his goods to
the Government.
# the code has "open price"
provisions and the manufacturer
follows them, his bid on the
Government purchases will
usually be exactly the same as
that Of his competitors.
Smelling a rat. Uncle Sam will
then step in and prosecute, on
the grounds of "collusion and
fraud"
On the other hand, if the
manufacturer disobeys the open
price" rules, he faces Federal
prosecution again. The Depart
ment Of Justice will catch him
for violating NRA regulations.
The topsy-turvy situation, It
was revealed today, has prevented
many manufacturers recently
from attempting to get the lucra-
tive business Of not only the
Federal Government. but also Of
State, county and municipal gov
ernments, which have much the
same purchasing rules.

DIFFUSION
Prince Georges Third Party
lndorses Rep. GambriIl;
Drives on "BoSSeS"

Formation of a fusionist party
in Prince Georges county has re-
suited because of the serious split
between both the Democratic and
Republican factions.
At the first meeting of the new
third party, IL prominent Demo-
Gratis and Republicans gathered
together to form the fuSionist or
ganization. The meeting was held
in Riverdale, Md.
While the names of the or
ganizers have been temporarily
withheld, some policies of the new
organization have been made
known.
Tide third party is in favor of
the aboliShment of the Prince
Georges county police force and
the county police court.
Civil and criminal cases made
by constables Of the county, under
their plan, would be tried before
justices Of the peace of the county.
The main objective of the third
party, however, is to oust the
bosses of the county, according
to one of the leaders.
The first office-holder to re-
ceive the unanimous Endorsement
Of the new party is Representa-
tive Stephen w. Gambrill.
At the next meeting Of the new
organization, to be held April 3,
the party will draw up slate Of
candidates for the coming county
election.
Each member who met at the
initial session must bring two new
members to the next meeting, it
was agreed by the temporary Off
GERS of the party. In this order
the new fuSionistS hope to build
up their party to fighting strength.

missioners the detailed budget Of

The itemized budget is the same

port to you that at present we
are in excellent financial con-
ditiOn, with all bills paid, with

Tax Increase Spreads Interest
in Move to Avoid Still
Higher Levy

Faced with a 20 cents per 500
assessed valuation tax increase
for the fiscal year starting July
/ and at least another increase
of 10 cents in 1895, many resi-
dents of Arlington County, Va,
favor calling of special election
to place the county under provi-
sionS of the Byrd Road act.
At present nearly every county
in Virginia is operating under the
act, which places control and
maintenance Of county roads
under the Virginia Highway De-
partment.
Estimated tax rate for 1934-35
will be $2.40 per 500 and in
1885 will be $3.50, it was said
at Arlington courthouse today.
Placing the county roads under
State control would do away with
necessity of boosting the tax rate
either this year or next, officials
said.
Proponents of the plan are ex-
pected to ask the county board
to take action favoring the plan
at the public hearing on the pro-
posed budget on March 16. If
that fails they will appeal to the
voters, 1t was said.
