FUNDS FOR JAIL
At TBLUEPLA|NS
MAY Be ASKED
District Expected to Seek
$1,000, 900 From Congress;
Lorton Sum Sought

The Distric t. Commissioners
probably will ask Congress for a
new Jail, located at Blue Plains
and costing about $4,000, 900, in
place of the present institution,
which is admittedly out of date.
Estimates of the Board of Pub
lie Welfare, revealed by the Com.
missioners, show a request for $780,.
900 for plans and preliminary stud
les for a new jail building at Blue
Plains, together with a building
for a residence for the Jail super
intendent.
The present residence for the
superintendent is not on the Jail
grounds, but close to the Gallinger
Hospital morgue and the children's
ward. It is unsatisfactory as a
residence" according to Elwood
Street, director of public welfare.
New Guards Asked
Other Jail items include a re-
quest for an additional $4,000 for
new guards so as to permit six
day weeks instead of seven-day
weeks. A note in the estimates
says:
"The duties of a guard require
q high degree of alertneSS and
the work is done under a con-
tinuOus strain, from which one
day week is necessary in order
that there be no let down in
efficiency"
The Board of Public Welfare
asks for $5O0,00 for the enclosing
wall at Lorton.
Built by Inmates
This is being built slowly by the
inmates of the institution, but
which can be completed within a
few months with a larger appro-
priation
This sum would also permit the
erection of a new mess hall and
several additional cell blocks.
A substantial increase in the
personnel at Lorton is asked in an
increased payroll item of $455,124
which is $4,000 increase.

NEW DEAL HELD
CROWD|NG
SCHOOLS
Huge Increase in Attendance
ForeshadoWed BY Many
Parents Inquiries

The New Deal, given as an eX
cuSe for many and varied things
during the past year and a half
today was described as the root
of a new condition-the antici
pated increased attendance in the
District public schools.
School officials, who have pre-
dicted an increase of several
thousand children in the local
schools when they open Septem'
Der II, declared that the large
influx of people into Washing,
ton recently because of the crea,
tion of new Government agencies
will bring added numbers to
schools here.
Alphabets Prolific
With the establishment of the
alphabetical lineup - the NRA,
AAA, Hole, FHA and many
others-thousands of new fami-
lies have moved into Washington,
with the result that thousands Of
new children will seek admission
to the schools here, it was
pointed out.
It has been estimated by Robert
L. Haycock, assistant sperinten.
dent in charge of elementary
schools, that the school rolls will
be increased by at least 5000,
bringing the total attendance to
approximately 10000.
Phones Kept Busy
The telephone switchboard at
the Franklin Administration
School has been flooded with calls
for the past week from parents
seeking information about the
opening date of schools, entrance
requirements and locations of
buildings,
New students will be enrolled at
the various elementary schools

time they must present their birth

Ken Murray
Says:

WIND! WIND! BLOW AWAY!
Rosita Royce, who was ar
rested at the Chicago Century
of Progress, for dancing in the
nude, told the court that the
wind blew her fig leaf off =.
I suppose the Judge will let
her go, if she turns over a new
leaf.
It certainly was unfortunate
for the concession where she
was dancing Il imagine that
a fig leaf is quite a novelty at
the Fair.
When the question was
raised as to why there was so
much breeze on that particu-
lar day someone suggested
that maybe the orchestra was
playing Sally Rand's music too
fast.
1 don't see why there should
be so much excitement over .
little thing like a fig leaf. ..
After all, ROSita's life was an
open book.
so REMEMBER:
A man may have more cOur-
age than a fan dancer, but he
doesn't get as much chance to
show his backbone.

FERA To REDUCE.
RELIEF SHARE

The FERA is going to contrib
ute less and less cash toward
supporting the unemployed and
the States must assume larger
shares of their own burdens, and
this is clearly reflected in the
District departments estimates
which show an increase of $3,000,-
900 in the relief item for 1886.
Elwood Street, Director of
Public Welfare, said today that
he had received no instruction
on FERA policy for next year.
but that it is obvious the Federal
relief agency is not going to be
so generous next year as it has
been this. That, said Mr.. Street,
applies to the Federal Govern
ment's attitude toward the States
as well as toward the District of
Columbia.
Relief in the District this year
cost $9,000,000, and just at pres
ent there are $4,000 families get
ting aid directly or through emer-
gency work projects. Next year
relief will cost $4,000, 900 and there
will be 10000 families on the rolls.
The Districts share is to be
$5,000,000, according to the esti-
mates, and $3,O00,000 is to be
asked of the FERA. The reduc-
ton in total amount, Mr.. Street
said today, is due to economies in
administration and will not affect
the aid given to each family. He
added that, if living costs rise,
there would be a corresponding
increase in family relief budgets.

ID. {. FIRMS WIN
PRAISE FROM
MIA HEADS
Local Compliance Director
Says Capital Men Show
Desire to Cooperate
BY LOUIS E. WHYTE


WaShington's cooperation with
NRA has won the highest COM
mendation from those administer.
ing the statute.
Not that there have been no
complaints against firms in this
city regarding compliance with
NRA code provisions, but the de-
sire shown by the firms COM
planned against to adjust the
situation properly has been eX-
ceptionally praiseworthy.
This is the conclusion of Ray
mond j. Walter, compliance di.
rector of the NRA for the District
of Columbia, after more than a
year in office.
1900 Cases Settled
Mr.. Walter, youthful and ener-
getic, made his comments as he
reviewed the activities of his office
since he became director-one
year ago in August. He said:
"Since 1 began my duties as
Compliance Director for the
District of Columbia, 1 have ad-
juSted more than 1900 cases of
justified complaints. This has
meant the doing away with
child labor and sweat shop con.
ditions, the shortening of hours,
the restitution of back wages,
the increasing of salaries and
the enforcing of fair trade
practice methods.
"The back wage reStitutions
alone have amounted to $7,746.53
and this represents only the
actual cash transactions which
have taken place in my office.
The salary increases made nee
eSSary to comply with the Pres
ident's ReemplOyment Agree
ment and the codes run into
the thousands. Wherever 1 d.
rected that increases in salary
be made, / have seen to it that
these increases were immedi-
ately made effective.
HOURS CUT SHARPLY
"In numerous cases have
shortened the hours of the en-
plOyes with no decrease in pay,
which meant that the employe
was receiving the same amount
for a shorter work week than
he previously had been receiv-
ing for a work week Of, in
many instances, double the
number of hours"
Up to the present, Mr.. Walter
there has been only one
case in which the Blue Eagle has
been taken away permanently,
and there is now pending one case
in which the firm has been denied
the privilege of displaying the
Blue Eagle.
One Firm Closed Up
He points out, to show the ef-
fectivenesS of NRA compliance,
that the one firm whose Blue
Eagle was taken away because OF
failure to comply with code pro-
visions eventually had to go out
of business because of loss of pat
ronage.
All the sailing has not been
smooth, however. the director ex-
plains, as in many cases he has
had bitter controversies with
heads of firms whom he warned
must make adjustments to con-
tinue displaying their Blue Eagles.
