RELIEF PROJECTS
DECISION DELAYED
New Order for SO Hours Per
Month Minimum Work
Causes Wait.

Although the new emergency works
program, replacing the present c. w.
A.. Is to go into operation Monday, an
unexpected delay prevented decision
today on any of the projects on which
those on relief rolls will be employed
The hitch came when District Off
cials received instructions that persons
on relief were to be given not less
than So hours work per month under
the new set-up. Previous orders had
prohibited the giving of hours of work
which would exceed the budget re-
quirements of any individual.
VIII Seek Interpretation.
The budget requirements have been
fixed by Leroy A. Halbert, emergency
relief director of the District, at s22
to $35 per month. If some of the
skilled workers, who receive union
wages, are given as much as So hours
a month, this will exceed the budget
requirements.
Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Howard F. Clask said that he would
seek to resolve this conflict by get
ting an Interpretation from the Of
flee of Federal Relief Administrator
Harry l.. Hopkins, which issued both
orders.
Meanwhile. suggestions came in
from c. Marshall Finnan, superin-
tendent of National Capital Parks.
for the inclusion of the following
projects: Completion of Bingham drive
in Rock Creek Park; surfacing the
new roadway in Piney Branch Park;
completion of recreational facilities
in the Banneker and Takoma CEN
tiers: widening of Fifteenth street
through the Monument Grounds, and
construction of lawns in various
parks throughout the city.
Expects to Enroll Hundreds,
On Monday $500 c. w. A. en-
ployes will be transferred to the stat
us of emergency works employees. They
are persons receiving relief before the
start of the c. w. A. program.
Since there have been at times as
many as $4,000 persons employed on
the c. w. A. rolls, it is expected that
many in addition to the $500 will now
seek to enroll themselves on the re-
lief lists Capt. Clark said he ex-
pected to be able to enroll hundreds
of additional workers who are in
need of relief one week from tomor-
row on new emergency works pro-
grams.
The essential difference between
the C. W. A. and the emergency
works programs is that the former
were open to employment of any ap-
plicants, up to quota of $4,000 per-
sons. The latter will be open only
to those who have enrolled as in need
of relief. with no quota set as yet.
Under the C. w. A. program, the
first act was to blanket into the prof.
ects all persons on the relief rolls and
then to open up the jobs remaining
on the quota to those who had en-
rolled at the District of Columbia
Public Employment Center as desir-
ing work.

This surplus will be effected despite
the fact that the Office is running

But long before the dawn of his

being killed off by the newcomers, he
believes they may have become Suf-

of great epidemics.
There is increasing evidence, he
holds, that they did not all die. A
great deal of Neanderthaler blood was
absorbed into the race of homo
