F.E. R. A. STUDENT
AID PERPLEX|NC
District Colleges and Uni
verSitieS Are Dubious
to Cooperation.

The proposal of the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administration to help
approximately 1000 college students
through their second semester Of this
year with jobs paying from $40 to
$50 month. today found Washington
college and universities dubious as to
just how far they could cooperate.
Should they cooperate. they would
add about 10 per cent to their en-
rollment but the added cost of this
expansion on already heavily bur-
dened colleges and universities was
giving them a perplexing problem to
work out.
Discrimination Seen.
Dr.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president
of George Washington University,
characterized the program as dis
criminatory" against the private in
stitution. such as G. w. u. as COM
pared with the public universities
The program" he said, "discrimi-
mates between publicly administered
and privately administered institu-
tions. 1t will be very difficult for
privately administered institutions to
raise funds for additional instruction
at this time, and to pay the laboratory
costs for this instruction"
DR.. Marvin added that the univer-
sity already has a heavy burden of
partly paid and unpaid tuition fees.
But" he says. of course We are
anxious to cooperate in any way
possible
Rev Edmund A. Walsh vice presi-
dent of Georgetown University, who
is studying the plan. also was dubious
about the financial problem which
free tuitions for 10 per cent of the
present student body would present
to the university.
However, he said, eve are willing
to put our shoulders to the wheel to
help in the emergency, even if it re-
qulres sacrifice Father Walsh also
said the university has heavy bur-
den to carry, with the income of the
university draStically cut without a
commensurate reduction in expenses.
Bishop Ryan's Statement.
Bishop James H. Ryan, rector of
Catholic University, explained that
institutions position with respect to
the proposal, in the following state
ment:
This university could accept and
put into operation the plan suggested
by Mr. Hopkins for the relief of needy
students with the exception of the last
section of his plan, in which he asks
universities to waive all fees of what
soever kind for any student receiving
this Federal aid. The university is
in sympathy with the whole plan ex-
cept the part mentioned above"
Chancellor Lucian Gray of Ameri-
can University was still studying the
plan and was not certain to what ex-
tent the institution could cooperate
The plan. announced by Relief
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins
yesterday, would allow 100000 needy
students. men and women. through
out the country, to continue their
second semester with the help of the
Government jobs, and promised to set
aside from $5,O0O,000 to 100000
of Federal relief funds to finance the
program. Only those who otherwise
would not be able to continue their
studies would be thus helped under
Hopkins plan.

ICKES RETAINS PLANS
FOR ANOTHER ED|FICE
Independent Offices and Agencies
Would Be Housed in Present
Remodeled Structure.

The Public Works Administration
today allotted 100000 to add a new
floor on top of the Interior Building
and to remodel the existing pent-
house which now houses the Interior
cafeteria and kitchen.
The allotment also covers installa-
ton of 10 new elevators to replace
obsolete ones now in use. A previous
allotment for this purpose of 5000, 900
has been rescinded.
At the same time the allotment was
made, it was stated the Secretary of
the Interior Ickes has not aban-
doned his plans announced earlier
this week for construction of new
Interior Building rivaling in size
and cost the Commerce Department
Building. in which he proposes to
house all of the now widely scattered
bureaus and divisions Of the Interior
Department, as well as the huge
Public Works Administration and the
Oil Administration, both of which or
ganizations he heads.
Add 10000 Square Feet.
The present plans are for the re-
modelled Interior Building to be as
signed to independent Offices and
agencies when the new Interior Build
ing is completed. The National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission
is looking for site for the immense
new structure.
The improvements to the present
Interior Building will add about 4O, ,0OO
square feet of floor space. This space
is Immediately necessary The ex-
pansiOn Of the Interior Department
when the Roosevelt administration
came in has been the greatest of any
department in the Government. The
new floor will provide. according to
tentative plans. for the addition OF
108 Offices. occupying approximately
10000 square feet, while the re-
malnder OF the space will be used for
corridors, service rooms and other
facilities.
Completion in Seven Months.

some of the $l.000,000 set aside about
six weeks ago for air conditioning

the new floor. Money is provided out
of the s800,000 for air conditioning

Public works engineers have found
that the Interior Building project will
provide permanent and desirable Office
space at a minimum cost and in a

that the Improvements will be COM
pleted within seven months and that
they can be started shortly, providing
5000 man-months of employment.

James Roosevelt. eldest son of the

welt, member of the class of 1880.
For many of US it has been hard to
make a start in life. In consequence.
our outlook is different from that of
you older men.
We have developed a state of mind
but what We hope is also a trained
mind, in that We have learned how to
think and how to make contacts and
friendships.
Objective Lacking.
But. unfortunately, most of us did
not know where we were going when
We got out of college That is bad.
However. our college education
has given us breadth of vision and
modes of intellectual enjoyment for
which We have ample leisure in this
new era. l trust also that We have
learned not only what to think, but
how to apply it.
never knowing there is a Government !!
That. too. is bad. The problems of
law. justice and crime should be the
daily laboratory problems of our
undergraduate days.
Notwithstanding, we look to our
university associations; We believe
great opportunities are ahead, and We
hope that in time some of our younger
graduates will be recognized as great
leaders"
A letter from President Roosevelt,
expressing regret that he could not
attend the dinner, was read by Col.
Ralph H. Hallett, secretary of the
club. The Chief Executive said he
would be represented, at least by
proxy.
Pairs Presidents.
Robert Lincoln OBrien, chairman
of the Federal Tariff Commission,
speaking for the older graduates,
pointed out that American Presidents
had gone in pairs-the Adamses and
the Roosevelts. He said William and
Mary University had turned out four
Presidents who had total of 20 years
in Office, and that for Harvard to
beat that record, Franklin D. Roose-
welt would have to be elected for
another term.

CITY VICE REPORT
STUD|EDBY BROWN
Police Head Asks WOman's
Bureau for Data on Low
er D. c. Rating.

Maj. Ernest w Brown. superintend.
ent of police, confronted with a re.
port from the American Social
Hygiene Association stating that COM
mercialized vice in Washington is
on the increase. today turned the
matter over to Capt. Rhoda Milliken
OF the Woman's Bureau for a study.
The association. which had classed
conditions in Washington in 1927
1928 as good" dropped the city to
rating of only fair" in l932.l933.
Maj Brown said that in l927.1e28
the association conducted an investi-
CATION in Washington with the CO.
operation of the Police Department
and made confidential reports to the
department as the investigation pro-
gressed. In 1922, he said. officials of
the association approached Capt.
Milliken with view to conducting
another similar survey here. but so
far as the Police Department knows
the second survey was never actually
made. Capt iilliken is a member
Of the Washington branch of the as.
Sociation.
Arrests Have Increased.
Maj Brown said arrests for prosti-
tuition have increased from approxi-
mately 100 in the 1928 period to
approximately 700 in 1928, but
that he did not know whether this
increase in arrests should be attrib-
uted to increased vigilance on the
part of the police force or a rise in
tide of commercialized vice
According to an Associated Press
story from New York, the report of
the association says:
In five years the business of prosti-
tuition in many cities in the United
| States has increased in volume and
fiagrancy. 1t can be attributed to the
indifference of public opinion occupied
with other questions of public inter-
est. a let-down by officials of law en-
forcement because of lessened per-
sonnel and budgetary resources, ineffi-
cheney and indifference, and in some
places political tie-ups with the un-
Gerworld; and an increase in the
activities of third-part exploiters and
Of the prostitutes themselves for

Ranks With Cities.
Washington is ranked along with
Cincinnati. st. Paul and Minneapolis
in a group of cities with populations
between 250,O00 and 100000. in which
prostitution conditions were fair"
Two cities in this group were re-
ported as poor and eight more were
listed as bad.
The only city in this class in which
the conditions were classed as good
is Providence.
The survey was made under the
direction of Bascom johnson and
Paul M. Kinsie, and included data
collected in the field by observers in
So cities and 48 States.

The occasion was significant be.
cause of the national leaders In

cause of the forward step mark

First among those present was
DR.. James Hardy billiard after
whom the university is named. He
is one of the few persons who have
distinguished themselves In the
field of providing education for Ne
groes who has won the honor OF
having such an institution named
for him during his lifetime.
This Is all the more remarkable
because. unlike many white mer
who have interested themselves in
Negro education. DIR. billiard has
refrained from adopting a directive
role in matters relating TO the Ne.
gro.
Others present were DR.. Morde-
cal Johnson, president of Howard

and DR.. Fred l.. Brownless, exc
cutive secretary of the American

Both Drs. Alexander and John

fact that at billiard university
northern and southern white peo-
pie were working with the Negro
