WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-A plan to more than double the size of CCC is under serious consideration by President Roosevelt as part of a broad winter work relief program.

 The extent of the increase of the Corps is said to be not fully decided upon but figure of one million men is mentioned frequent ly. The CCC now has upwards of 350000 enrolled.

Foreign Ambassador Makes Final Plea for Arma-
 ment Equality

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.- Japan has scrapped the Wash ington Naval Treaty and calls once more for a new pact which will give that nation equality and wipe cut of fensive weapons of war"
 The historic moment the world was awaiting for came when Ambassador HirOsi Sai- to stepped into the State De- partment today and handed Secretary of State C0rdell Hull the formal notice that after December 31, 1886, Jap- an would not be bound by a treaty which gives her the short end Of the 5-5-3 ratio.
 Ambassador Saito express ed the hope that a new treaty will be agreed upon within the next two years.
 Japan, the A m b a S dor said, is willing to discard half of her navy if a common maximum limit" for the Unit- ed States, Great Britain and Japan is established.
 Ambassador Saito said he was not at all anxious about the pos sibility of @ naval race.
 The people concerned are all intelligent and their governms lts are rational said the Ambassador. No one wishes to engage in dam aging naval building competition.
 Claims Demands Fair
 Tt is our firm relief that when other powers, appreciating the es- sential fairness of Japans claims, will consent to make sweeping re- ductions in the fighting strength along the lines proposed by our Government, then a full measure of security will be afforded ali powers through elimination of any possible menace from one another and enduring peace will be es.ab- lished upon a solid basis

CWA WORKERS
DROPPED IN STATE
$500 Will Lose Jobs This
Week-Big Cut In The
Maryland Force

Seventy-five hundred out of the
40,500 men and women working on
Civil Works projects in Maryland
will have lost their jobs by Friday
of this week, Harry l.. Hopkins,
Federal director OF the CWA, has
announced.
His announcement was embodied
in a statement that the number of
Civil Works and Civil Works Service
workers to be dropped from the rolls
reprualy 20 and the number to be
,etalneu, together with general In
i. actions for demobllization meth
ids, had been telegraphed to all
states. Territorial cuts will be an
bounced later.
Previously he had announced that
approximately 100000 would be let
so this week, but that, he explained
lumber to be dropped from the
Jivil Works employment rolls in the
states and the District of Columbia
liter Thursday-their last lay day
he said, is approximately 572,-
90" and the total number TO be re-
aimed is approximately S,104,-
400"
The average cut for the country
IS whole is, therefore, 45.5 per
ont tho rad,1otinn 1orod in
aaryland is above that average, be-
ng 1876 per cent. Maryland, how
sver, is only one of twenty-four
,lates in which reductions exceeding
me national average have 0een or
4ered. The States in which less
nan average cuts have beer order
ID are, for the major part, the
.nost highly industrialized.
The reduction quotas announced
40 not include persons employed on
federal projects-an order for re-
4uctions on those will come later
Jut, on the other hand, the figures
N the number of persons tc be re-
aimed on Civil Works employment
rolls after Friday do include those
IN Federal projects, Mr.. Hopkins
laid.
His tabulation showed that Mary
