MAXIE BAER WAS
 IN COURT TO-DAY
Former Manager Is Trying to Find Out What He
 Will Get

Sacramento, Calif., March 23 - (UP)-Max Adelbert Bacr, heavy weight challenger, sat in court to- day and heard it disclosed that he had made $500,00O in the last IS months an d"hadn't saved a
 dime"
 He alternately played the old "hot foot" joke and slyly stuck wad of chewing gum in his attor- ney's hair.
 Suits and countersuits involving BaerS contract with J. Ham Lori mer an estranged manager, neared an end. Superior Judge Malcom c. Glenn tried to get the correct slant on the managerial alliance and tangled finances of the playboy fighter.
 Judge Glenn admitted as evil dence the fact that Maxie earned $95,700 between the time he sign ed a contract with Lorimer on Dec. 19, 1880, and Sept. 26, 1892, when he served notice he would not continue with the contract.
 Other figures indicated that fights, personal appearances, en- dorsements and the movies had brought $5OO,O00 into the Baer treasury during the last IS months. The fighter declared he did not have "a dime"
 Attorney Clifford Russell will be as happy as Maxie when the trial ends. Russell had had "hot foot" from his distinguished client no less than a half dozen times. Max. when Russell in engrossed in legal point, places a live match in the sole of the attorneys shoe. Then with another match he lights the head.
 The fighters tricks reached a new high when Attorney Russell got up to address tho judge, brushed his hand through his wavy hair in a grand gesture. and found that Max had placed big wad of gum in his locks.

ADMIRAL BYRD
 PLANES SAVED

Little America, Antarctica, March 23 (Via Mac Kay) - (UP) Two afrplanes of the Byrd Antarctic expedition, out on the Antarctic continent for days, were safe back at Camp today.
 The planes were monoplane. which landed in storm, nearly out of fuel, south of the camp. and an Autogyro which after reaching the monoplane developed engine trouble. Both were flown back to the camp.
 A fleet of four tractors sent to leave food at bases on the route to the South Pole met with good but not perfect luck, wireless reports from the expedition said. In five days two of the tractors made 100 miles. third was only ten miles behind. The fourth, a big one of six tons. apparently had broken down 33 miles north of the 100- mile depot.

(COntlnueQ rom TdBe 1'J their work in erecting new struc- lures under government sponsor ship.
 Hopkins also released detailed instructions to state administrators governing the rural and urban re- lief programs, which will succeed the CWA on April 1.
 The relief administration, Hop kins said, will place added empha- sis upon the whole range of hous- ing activities under the new work program.
 Some of the Plans
 In urban communities the ad- ministration contemplates placing thousands at work in "remodelins and repair of houses in lieu of rent for relief families; demolition of useless or condemned structures; {; assistance in publicly owned hous- ing; and re-settlcment housing for resettled families and subsistence homesteads."
 The clearance program will not conflict with the program of the public works administration and the federal emergency housing corporation, Hopkins said.
 He suggested to state adminis- trators that three per cent of ur- ban workers be employed on the planning of projects 30 per cent on improvements to public property, 15 per cent on housing, 15 per cent on the production and distribution of goods needed by the unemploy- ed, seven per cent on public well fare, health and recreation service, and 10 per cent on emergency ac- tivitics in public education, arts and research.
 The 20 per cent undistributed was left to provide leaway for greater emphasis on any of the fields, if the state administrator de- sire.
 Improve Public Property
 Improvements to public proD- erty in cities, it was said, would include development and construc- ton of parks, game or fish grounds and preserves, swimming pools, and other recreational facilities.
 They would further include ex. tension of waterworks, sewer sys- tems, grade crossings, limited high. way and street work, municipal power lines and plants, airports street signs and house numbering and improvement to publicly owned buildings
 The urban program, Hopkins said. provides that no person shal be employed less than 54 hours q month, nor less than three days ir any week. All projejcts must be approved by the state administra. tino.
 In the rural areas, state relief administrations have been auth oriZed to apply the urban reliei policies within their discretion.
 The first phase of the rura program Is the removal from re. lief rolls of all persons who car support themselves from other sources. As of April 1, case rec. ords of persons in rural areas vii be closed and persons desiring as' sistancc will be required to regis. ter at the nearest relief office.
 The relief administration has or. dered that:
 Work in rural areas shall bs valued on the basis of the prevail. ing wage scale. but at pot less than 30 cents per hour.
 The work week shall not exceed "A hours, except where capita goods are being developed.
