OCEAN MAIL
WILL FACE
INQUIRY
President Plans Reorganizing
of ship Subsidies But No
Cancellations Threatened
BY international News Service

by International News Service
President Roosevelt plans a
G o m p.1e,te reorganization Of
ocean mail contracts, it was
announced today,
Ocean mail contracts have
been linked with air mail con-
tracts in the current Senate
investigation.
The President made it clear,
however, that no sweeping cancel
lation of, ocean mail contracts is
contemplated, as was done in the
case of the air mail contracts.
Rather, he said the objective Of
the Administration is reorganiza-
ton in the interests of better SER
vice.
Ship Subsidies
It was pointed out that a great
many lines had been given mail
contracts. when such contracts
should not have been let. The
President explained his meaning
with a hypothetical case of a
steamship line running from Nor
folk to the Baltic, and carrying
mail. It was pointed out that the
mail would move much faster,
were it sent to New York by rail,
and then shipped.
The Senate committee investi-
eating all mail contracts will go
thoroughly into the ocean mail
problem.
Mr.. Roosevelt feels that the
mail contracts should be called
by what he considers their true
names, namely, ship subsidies.
The President has no idea of
abandoning such subsidies, but
believes a reorganization is de.
Sirable and essential.
Farley Wires Indy
Regarding the air mail, the
President revealed that pla n s
were going forward for putting
the Army Air Corps into the mail
service next week, but that he
has not gone any further than
this. A program for a permanent
air mail set-up for the future
will be worked out later.
Postmaster General James A.
Farley has sent a telegram to

More than 5000 persons
employed on Federal civil
works projects in the District
will lose their jobs tomorrow
under orders received today
by the local work planning
committee Of the CWA.
One order is contained in a
telegram from Jacob Baker, as
sistant to Federal Civil Works Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins,
which reads:
Federal Civil Works projects
not operating on Federal prop
erty must terminate night Of
February Is. All such projects
may be undertaken as State or
local projects within State
quotas. Statistical projects are
exempted from this order. List
q Federal projects to be con-
tinued win have reduction in
workers determined by Federal
departments and effective Feb
ruary Is. Notification Of change
to be mailed Immediately"
Park Workers Hit
Under this order, approximately
1850 workers employed in local
parks, on mosquito control, and
on other Federal jobs will be
dropped tomorrow. The order
does not affect purely local prof
Ncts, such as street work, con
struction work, and the like.
An oral order Supplementing
the telegram directs that the force
employed on Federal projects on
Federal property must be cut SO
per cent tomorrow and that 5
ner cent of the remaining force
must be dropped each week there
after, thus closing out all Federal
CWA projects within five weeks
This will mean that approx
mately $500 more workers viii be
dropped tomorrow, since about
about 5000 persons are employed
ON Federal projects on Federal
property here.
Local Projects Continue
Neither of the orders will affect
purely local projects, even those
on Federal property. The 1000
men working at Boiling Field will
not be dropped, since that is q
local project, although on Fed
eral property.
Although Mr.. Bakers order
permits the local CWA to take
over the Federal projects dropped,
this will not be done at once,
according to Capt. Howard F.
Clark, chairman Of the local
work planning committee.
May Recall Workers
Captain Clark said each project
would be studied by his commit.
tee and the director in charge of
each job would be asked to report
on the work. If the work justifies
such action, he said, the local
CWA will take over the project.
Locally the parks and Depart
ment Of Agriculture are hardest
hit, since the majority of the
5000 persons to be dropped to-
morrow are on jobs under these
two departments.

JaiIing the Poor

the brutality of law forces and
private groups of "vigilantes" in
carrying out drive against So
called radicals.
Anyone who raises his voice
against the big property inter-

he is jobless, lays himself open
to plenty of punishment. Jail

In better days which consisted
principally of being without
visible means of support. have
dimmed the fires of liberalism in
more than one. We have all
read where Super-patriots have
formed vigilante committees to
raid quarters of strikers or
others who dare to say things
aren't as good as they should
be.
But the payoff comes in a
little notice that made Page

sunny Florida as saying his
State would be an unhealthy
place for out-of-State jobleSs.

Killing Ambition
To the Editor of The Times:
The first law of nature is the
preservation of ones life. The
second is the procreation OF
the human race. These are
rules of living deeply engraved
in mans nature by the Al
mighty Creator. When these
human laws cease, man dies.
The third principle govern
ing human endeavor is the urge
to possess, to build, to fight
constantly to better ourselves.
Thus, it is we see men in this
country start out as poor boys
and finally acquire property,
wealth and position among
their fellow beings. This in
Stinctive urge is sometimes re-
ferred to as ambition. All nor
NAL men are endowed with this
yearning.
The Democrats refuse to take
cognizance of this fact. They
are striving by their socialistlc
program to make all men equal.

sweep aside the natural instinct
to get ahead. Under the present
system, the lazy man gets as
much as the hard-working man,

ID You Can't Win
To the Editor of The Times:
In reference to some of the
articles that you have been pub
fishing as to wide open gambling
in the city, I beg to say that
your paper has done a great
good in opening the eyes of the
public as to the slim chances of
winning in any gambling at all.
Your writing it is very good,
but not as good as yet to open
the eyes of the police to get rid
OF these gambling places. AS a
matter of fact, 1 can tell you
many places where the police
place bets and collect when ever
they win: and they all know
where these places are located.
II there should be any word at
headquarters as to the raiding
OF any place at all, the police
usually inform the man rum
ming the place to clear out be-
fore the police get there.
My husband for the last year
has been and is spending all his
salary playing the horses and
numbers in these places and
neglecting his family need. And
I would appreciate it if you
would conduct some jnveStiga-
ton to save those saving money
and many others who, this hard
winter, will be put on the street
when their breadwinner will
spend all his earnings in gam
bling. MRS. H. C.
