Stunning that the victors in the
Democratic fights in those States
will not support the President If
they are elected. Nevertheless, be-
cause Of the ballyhoo that was
given defeated candidates, the i'm
preston is created that the Presi.
dent is losing caste with members
on his own party.
The President has declared re-
peatedly that he is not engaging
in any of the primary campaigns.
He has insisted repeatedly that no
one is carrying his banner against
other Democrats.
Of course, there have been lit.
tie incidents which might lead one
to suppose that the President
would be gratified at the return to
the Senate Of Mr.. So-and-So or at
the return to the House Of some
one else. But none Of these has
been sufficiently strong to be ION
the record" as a clear-cut indorse-
ment of this man or that man.
Aides Not So Discreet
Unfortunately, the Presidents
political advisors have not been
quite so discreet.
The White House label has
been sprinkled rather freely over
the primary battle ground de-
spite the publicly avOwed hands.
off attitude of the President.
This is destroying party har-
mOny and will be heard from
when the new Congress con.
venes. Naturally, a Democrat
who won the nomination over a
rival wearing the White House
label is not going to feel that
he is bound strongly to the
White House.
1t is likewise destroying the feel
ing of invincibility which is so
important part of the armor of
any political party. It is causing
people to wonder if the President
is as strong as they believed if he
cannot carry his can d d a t
through the primaries.
The answer, of course, is that
they are not his candidates and
he is not trying to carry them
through the primaries.

expert, Harland Bartholomew,
who suggested a tunnel under
the southern end of the White
House grounds, and also sug-
gested regulations by which Wash
ington would keep its business
district closely confined to an
area bounded by Fifteenth Street
on the west; Third Street on the
east; K Street on the north and
Pennsylvania Avenue on the
south.
He said that the unbalanced
design of the business area made
the control of street car traffic
a difficult matter.
John Beeler told the P. U. C..
that he had drafted new street
car routes and bus lines as if
there were none at all in the city,
and he was planning traffic for
a city of half a million that was
bound to grow in several direc-
tions.
Operation Explained
Practical street car handling
was explained in detail by w. B.
Bennett, assistant to President
Hanna of the Capital Transit Co..
Mr.. Bennett developed the fact
that any practical change in
routes must take into considera
ton the peak load at the most
crowded quarter hour in the rush
periods.
For that reason Mr.. Bennett
stressed the fact that downtown
tracks. if removed from their pre-.
sent location, must be replaced
somewhere else. This. he said, is
particularly true of the four
tracks on New York Avenue and
for short distance on Fourteenth
Street N. w.
The large number of cars that
use those tracks in the rush hour
will have to be put somewhere
else or the jam will be worse, he
said.
Mr. Bennett appeared to be in
agreement with some sections of
the Beeler and Sager reports; and
in disagreement in certain other
details.
He did not discuss the proposed
bus lines. the street car company's
theory being that it is downtown
track changes which are needed,
not suburban bus service.

DROUGHT AID.
GIVEN IMPETUS
BY PRESIDENT
Warning Against Profiteers
Brings Results; 10000
to Be Given Work

President Roosevelt's drought
relief program spurted forward to-
day before the impetus of new
drive for speedy action instituted
by the President himself.
The cogs of the big relief ma
chine slipped into high gear, too,
under the protection of a pres
idential admonition that profiteers
seeking to shoot unfairly prices
of foodstuffs Skyward would be
punished. This admonition ap-
piled equally to former stock ex-
change players who, the President
indicated, the administration al
ready has learned are transferring
speculative operations to grain
and commodity exchanges.
Wants No Gambling
Bluntly, the President an
nounced that he did not want any
gambling with the necessaries of
life. He did not specify the
methods to be used to suppress
such tactics. He merely said that
the Agriculture Department has
considerable power over the ex-
changes, and would not hesitate
to use it.
Latest plans for action were
whipped into shape at a White
House conference attended by the
important Administration aides.
These included Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wallace, Acting Relief
Aubrey Williams,
Secretary of Labor Perkins, Secre-
tary of the Interior IckeS and
others.
Mr.. Williams said work relief is
being provided for 100000 drought
sufferers now, and that the Ad-
ministration plans to continue
this policy of providing work re-
lief.
Get PWA Projects
Secretary Ickes said that every
fair advantage was being given
the drought-stricken sections in
the ALLEGATION of public work
projects at present. He would not
comment when asked whether
noonev which law provides the
Public Works Administration may
obtain from the RFC for projects
if necessary may be drawn upon
as an indirect way of adding to
drought relief funds.
Earlier in the day the Presl-
dent expressed the opinion the
$525, 100000 allocated to drought
relief would carry the program
through until Congress meets
next year.
Secretary of Labor Perkins said
she expects to make a study CT
the relief load which the Govern
ment will have to carry.
Secretary Wallace revealed that
some sort of committee will be
set up within the relief machinery
to handle distribution of hay and
feed for cattle. There are many
phases of the big relief job ahead,
and Secretary Wallace indicated
distribution of this feed will be
one Of the big ones.

VIENNA, Aug. 16 Q.N.S0.-Col.
Franz Won Papen, former vice
chancellor of Germany, and newly
appointed minister to Austria, pre-
sented his credentials to President
Miklas today. Won Papen pre-
viously had been received by
Chancellor Schuschnigg and other
members of the cabinet. His mis-
sion, Germany admits, is to at
tempt to renew Austro-German
friendships and heal the breach
caused by Nazi activities in Aus
tria which resulted in the assas'
sination of Chancellor DollfusS in
the July Is Nazi putsch.

That sentence was imposed to-
day in Quarter sessions court
where Summers pleaded guilty to
passing six worthless checks,
amounting to $3.50.

PUBLIC WORKS
PROGRAM SHIFT.
UNDER WAY
Trend Is Now Toward Nom
Federal Projects; Spring
Squirt Is Expected
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service


Tagging heavy industries will be
given a sharp boost within The
next few months.
Public Works Administration Of
ficials said today a shift in the
character Of projects being pushed
with Government funds is ex-
pected to benefit especially such
industries as steel, metals, con-
struction and heavy fabricated
materials of various kinds.
After purely Federal projects,
such as highway construction,
rivers and harbor work, soil ero-
sion and some building provided
the sinewS Of the public works
program for months, the trend
of non-Federal projects is rising
rapidly.
Peak Due in September
The non-Federal projects, Off
Gals explained, include the build
ing of sewage disposal systems,
public buildings, water works and
a score of various types Of prof.
ects which involve the use OF
heavy materials and perhaps less
direct hand labor.
The all-time peak Of the public
works program is expected IN
September, with more than 2,100,-
900 persons employed directly or
indirectly.
Large expenditures are expect
ed to continue until late in
October or November, when there
may be a decline because of
seasonal conditions.
Spring Squirt Likely
Another upward squirt is ex-
pected next spring by public
works officials. With additional
funds from Congress, the public
works program may establish a
new record next summer.
The entire program was slow
in getting under way due, Off
Gals said, to the enormous
amount of preparatory work re-
quired. Now that it is nearing
its all-time peak, it can be car
ried at a high rate if funds
are provided.
Started last summer, public
works projects did not reach
employment of 100000 men until
October. In the same month
this year officials expect over
100000 to be directly employed
and 100000 to be given en-
ployment indirectly. Expenditures
now are around $40,000,000 a
week and may rise to $4,000, 900
in September.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, November Is.
Judge E. S. Thomas of the United
States District Court yesterday filed
with the clerk decision which grants
the Bausch Machine & Tool Co. of
Chicopee Falls and Springfield, Mass,
the right to obtain dispositions from
officers and directors of the Aluminium
Co. of America, defendants in a So
100000 damage suit.
Judge Thomas ruled conditions are
different from what they were two
years ago when Judge c. c. Hincks
Of the same court denied a similar
motion. He said the fact the case
had been tried and a defendants
judgment reversed on appeal gave the
action a new aspect and the plaintiffs
were entitled to obtain the deposi-
tions.
The Bausch company in its COM
plant alleged loss of business because
the defendants maintained monopoly.
1t sought to recover for loss of that
business.
The previous suit was carried to
the United States Supreme Court on
appeal of the plaintiffs from judg-
ment for the Aluminium Co.
