PLANNED PUBLIC
WORK ANSWERS
NEED FOR JOBS
Scheme Brings Efficiency
and May Become Ma
tionaI Policy.

BIZ Scripps-HoicGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. July 9.-Planned
public works may become a per-
manent national policy as re-
suit of the rapid manner in which
job-making funds have been al
lotted during the first week of the
fiscal year.
The slowness Of past spending
for public construction has caused
considerable Skepticism as TO its
effectiveness in relieving unemploy-
ment. Under Herbert Hoover, funds
appropriated for public works were
spent only after months of prepara-
ton. Last years S3,30O,O00,OOO APP
preparation was doled out slowly,
although quick spending was an in
tegral part of the Roosevelt recov-
cry program
However, the ICkeS public works
administration demonstrated, this
week, that where careful advance
planning has taken place the sit
uatiOn is different. During the last
year it has examined thousands of
applications and listed them in the
order of their desirability. AS n
result it was able to hand out
$200,000000 in four days without
fear of sacrificing efficiency for
speed. The rest of the $50O.000.000
appropriation made by the last
congress probably will be allotted
next week.
Senator Robert F.. Wagner of New
York convinced congress, four years
ago, that a program for public
spending ought to be prepared far
in advance of the need for it. Leg
islation to this end was adopted.
This is the first time that it has
been tried.
May Extend PWA Life
The performance of PWA with its
latest appropriation increases the
possibility that the next congress
may extend its life beyond the two
year emergency period and give it
more funds.
This is the status of public works
spending today.
In the last few days PWA has
handed out funds for 1,241 separate,
nonfederal projects, located in every
state in the Union. Cost of these
projects is S225 100000, of which the
federal government is putting up
$189, 761, 254.
Another $17,500000 has been al
lotted for federal projects.
Some of the $300,000000 remain
ing will be used to carry on con-
StructiOn of such federal projects as
Columbia river and Fl. Peck. Most
Of it will go to cities and states.
More Applications Pending
Applications calling for expendi-
ture of another three million dollars
are on file with PWA. If the adj
miniStration decides to continue
public spending at fixed annual
rate its program can be mapped
out long in advance.
Of the S3,30O,000,000 appropriated
last year for PWA, S505 100000 has
actually been spent, to date, for
construction. This does not include
a little more than billion dollars
allotted for IVA, CCC, CWA and
other recovery agencies, most of
which also has been spent. About
hale the big fund is still to be trans
lated into pay rolls and orders for
materials.
One hundred and eighty-three
projects have been awarded for 252
more and 800 are being advertised
for bids.

It was the rest minute, with the fifth round coming up. Dave was aware of Conerty speaking. Snap into it, Dave. Put this guy away"
 Dave wondered what ailed Con- erty. He was beating this kid all right. Sure he could do come back. The punk did land one now and then. The kids punches were hard, but he was riding with them. He was out in front. Sure. ..
 It was between the eighth and ninth, and Conerty was slapping him vigorously, yelling, Dave! Are you bugs?"
 Dave stared up at Conerty. His managers voice sounded funny.
 ''Kid, get going, will va? Get off queer street."
 The tenth round coming up. Dave decided this was the time to show Conerty he could take his pa1ooka. At the gong he Ieaped into action. He swarmed all over the local boy before he could get set.
 He bobbed, wove, feinted, drove in again and again. Now he was alive and invincible again! Now he WdS LlIS lt6AlCTp lHS CIuODeI. &N0W he was Dave, the champion.
 Only 8 minute to go. And the local boy, groggy, kept taking it, kept coming in. And Dave was tired. Thoughts of Gregg and the championship whirled through his brain.
 The local boy came in closer, closer-hanging on doggedly. Dave had given him everything he had was still hitting him at will. Suddenly a roar went up from the crowd. yRave didn't know why. and as he 0Rpped back the local boy came thAsGh with a desperate | uppercut. W landed. The roar paused, then renewed with tu- mutt of noise. Shadows gathered around Dave's splitting head. He was falling! And the lights were going out, as they had gone out that night at the Garden When Dave drifted back to con sciousness he was aware of two things-the piercing fumes Of smelling salts and his managers voice calling him: Dave! Daves You won!"
 Dave shook his head to clear 1t and his eyes slowly focused on Sonerty In amusement.
 You won," Conerty shrilIed. That kids manager threw in the towel before he hit you. The fights yours on technical K. O.!"
 Wearily Dave tried to grasp what 1t all meant-another round Of fights, more barns and local boys, maybe more lights going out around him. That boy had really put him away. What if his manager had been too cautious, the boy had real ly won.
 "Concede the match to that kid, Conerty," Dave muttered.
 Conerty stepped back with a gasp.
 NO use to put on the theatrics.ss Dave grinned. "Old man, the come backs over."

By CHARLES PHILIP RILEY

Tonight there were no cheers. This was not the Garden. This was an old building, sparsely filled. This was not New York. This was 8 mine town in Pennsylvania. And he was not the champion. He was a fighter named Dave, who had been champion.
 Fourteen days had made all the difference. Fourteen days ago he had been the champion, fighting at the Garden, fighting a good boy named Gregg. Fourteen nights ago he saw Gregg's fist coming, too fast, too strong. And the lights went out.
 Now he climbed through the ropes. into the ring, in this old building in Pennsylvania, and seat ed himself mechanically on the stool in his corner. He stared at the crowd blankly.
 There was loud yell. His oppo- nent was entering the ring. Faint ly Dave smiled. Local boy. He knew all about local boys. The best were bad enough.
 He remembered the Garden. Lights scorching his back. Thou sands watching. Thousands who went wild when Dave, the cham pion, came into the ring. Thou sands who cheered half-heartedly, as a duty, when Dave, ex-cham- pion, left the ring. To take the comeback trail, to go back to the kerosene circuits. Start all over. Build up again. Come back.
 The local boy sat across the ring confident and eager. Probably assured by his handlers-assured that once a champion is beaten he forgets everything he knew, be- comes easy prey.
 Dave thought of a number of things in that moment before the opening bell Come back. He didn't have to do this. He didn't need money. His wife and child were well provided for if he never fought again.. But Conerty, his manager. had begged so hard. Dave had stuck simply because of Con- erty. Conerty said Dave could still fight the best of them and win. That he could come back. (Gregg and the Garden the blinding speed, that killing right hand of Gregg's. Lying on table in the dressing room after the fight. Ammonia. His title gone. )
 The fight was on! DeftIy Dave used that peculiar sidestep that carried him into action in all of his battles. His adversary was clumsy. This local boy had no footwork, little grace. He tele- graphed blows. He did even rou.

to the punch. Dave shot short piercing jabs to the local boy E face, and body. He feinted fh4 local boy off balance and hooked him with hard blows to the head But the boy could take it. He Kept coming, coming in for more.
 One round, two, three at tcp speed. This local boy was all right at that. A good, tough boy. But Dave kept his left in the local boy'4 face. Let local boy take him Of course not. Not a chance. But Dave had hit him with everythinH he had, and still the punk kepf boring in. And Dave's arms were weary. His legs were heavy.

HOKE DEPLORES
AID FUND LAx|TY
Tells Builders State Lost
$4,000, 900 for Build
ing Purposes.

Failure to obtain $3C,OOO,OOO to
$35000,000 in Indiana for public
works is due to city officials re-
fusalS to carry out their obligations.
This was the charge made last
night by Fred Hoke, Indiana di-
rector of the National Emergency
Council, at a meeting of the In
dianapolis Construction League in
the Architects and Builders build
ing.
In many cases, he asserted, local
officials in the state have failed to
provide guarantees in the repay
ment of federal funds. In other
cases, the federal government has
refused bonds because of the $3.50
tax rate limit.
Mr.. Hoke said he was working on
release of these millions in funds in
order to provide employment in the
state.
E. D. Pierre was elected league
