upon Mayor La Guardia to clean up the situation there.
 We also discussed the matter of taxi-dance halls and we decided that was a matter to be brought to the attention of Police Commits sioner John F. O'Ryan. At no time during our discussion did we speak of any specific plays, mo- tion pictures, or indict any of the players" Father McCaffrey, spokesman for the group, was asked if his committee intended approaching Will H. Hays, czar of the vast movie industry, replied that the producers themselves were the men to effect the cleansing process.
 Speaking for myself alone, and not for any other member of the committee, may say that under the leadership of Hays, the indus try has fallen so low that it is high time he resigned" Father McCaf- frey said.

STATE OVERLOOKED
 IN FEDERAL WORK
PWA Officials Speeding Up All0catiOn of Funds;
 Coast Guard Chapel
(speclal to The Democrat)

Washington, D. C., July 1O.- With more public works projects approved in Connecticut during the past three weeks than in the. pre- yious six-months period, Senator SLonergan, Conn, predicted today that several hundred additional persons will be able to find employ ment during July and August.
 Most of the, loans and grants ap- proved, he said, were for local highway. bridge or sewer construc- ton. Contracts will be let imme- diately and an effort will be made to get the work underway early in July.
 The senator said that until the recent projects were approved Connecticut had not been getting it's share of public works money. Communities which had asked for loans, he said, had found 1t. easier to market their own bonds and come in. for the thirty per cent fed eral grants alone. This delayed procedure on their behalf, and meantime the. original $3,300. 900 public works appropriation was allocated. The additional $1,500,- 900, 900 carried in the recent defi-. StCiSy 1dPRAVPAA1blOh Otll UCCdIIC available after many Connecticut projects had been lined up for ap- proval, and the senator. sby urgent ly insisting that the state should be given larger allotments, was in- strumental in having numerous projects approved in succession.
 ''It is not possible to determine when the board will act on federal projects" the senator said. Many requests are beforet he board for improvements to, governmental facilities in Connecticut, such as the U. S. coast guard at New Lon- don. but it appears that the board prefers to spend rsost of the new appropriation for strictly local construction"
 The senator said, however, that he hoped to get $15O, 900 for a new chapel at the Coast Guard Acad- emy, and certain improvements through the navy department pub lie works program.

RUSSIA IS VERY QUIETLY AT WORK
<continued from Page 1.)

Because of this program the Soviet government is not interested in the armament phase of the 1885 naval conference. However. if po- litical questions involving the status quo in the Pacific are to be discussed at the conference, Rus sia would desire it's voice heard. Moscow does not intend to press for an invitation but probably would accept if invited.
 The comparative lack of interest of the Soviet government in the conference is partly explained by the fact that some Moscow officials doubt whether the conference will be held. They feel that the present antagonism among naval powers makes agreements extremely diffi- cult. H
 Aside from the paramount naval question, the current status of other Soviet foreign problems was made available to the United Press as follows:
 1. It is believed here that the Soviet-Japanese tension in the Far East is now easing, despite several recent border incidents. The Chi nese eastern railroad negotiations are showing signs of satisfactory outcome, both sides having made price concessions which bring them closer together.
 ?. Soviet negotiations for conclu- sion Of an eastern European secur- ity pact are progressing, although it is expected that at least several months will be required before definite accomplishment can be an- nounced.
