COMPROMISE IN
BIG FEDERAL
PROJECT Seen
Roosevelt Will Ask At
Once For $500, 0OO,-
900 Relief Coin
PLANNING TO QUIET
CWA'S SUPPORTERS

WASHINGTON. Jan. "a. (UP)
Prospect of compromise in the
dispute over abandonment Of CWA
employment for 100000 people
developed as it was revealed at
the White House that the CWA
would cease to exist as such on
May /.
A request will be made by the
administration today or soon for
$3.50, 100000 to continue CWA
until May 1 and for S500,000,00
for relief expenditure in the next
fiscal year.
President Roosevelt feels that
part of the $500,000,000 should
be used after May 1 to provide
jobs through the CWA method,
although the CWA as such will be
abandoned.
Adjustment along these lines, it
is believed. will alleviate dissatis-
fartion developing in congress
against stopping the CWA.
WASHINGTON, IAN. "a. (UP)
Rebellious rumblings on Capitol
Hill today foretold another econ
omy battle for the administration
in it's effort to wind up the exper-
sive civil works employment pro-
gram by discharging the last Of
100000 workers before May /.
It has cost about $400,000,000 SO
far.
President Roosevelt may SEMI
to congress today message ask,
ing $3.50, 100000 to continue the
CWA to May 1. although tenta-
tive rehabilitation plans actual
ly call for discharge of the last
worker by mid-April.
The first 100000. largely
farmers. would be cut off the roll
by March 1st under discharge
schedule starting February 18th.
Tremendous pressure is develop
ing for continuance of the CWA
expenditure until all workers can
be absorbed into other employ
ment.
Administrator Harry Hopkins
complaint of graft in some areas
is overshadowed by the political
battle developing around Mr..
Roosevelt's determination to close
the CWA purse in three months.
Some of the more practical.mind-
ed of Mr.. Roosevelt's odvisers
feel, anyway. that a certain
amount of bad local management
and graft were inevitable in
PROGRAM If such magnitude.
Tie president was represented
as feeling that the advocates OF
continuance of the CWh should
await a report on the May eco
nomic status of the country be-
fore pressing their case.
In addition to the $3.50, 0OO,00O
to be sought for CWA. Mr.. Roose-
welt is expected to ask now or
later for $500,000,000 for direct
relief.

Long Losing His
Louisiana Hold
New Orleans Election Robs
Him OF Last Stronghold

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. "a CUP
Senator Huey P. Long, loser in
a local election which robbed him
of his last stronghold, fought bit
terly today to stave off a COM
plete disintegration of his once
all-powerful political machine.
While his enemies gathered
from the south parishes to cele-
brate his first defeat since ne
first rose to power, new returns
from yesterdays election gave
an increasing plurality to Mayor
T. Semmes Walmsley, running
for reelection. Longs cadidate,
John D. Klorer, was running a
close race for second place.
Longs entire political future
was at stake on the results, and
secluded in his guarded hotel
suite he loosened charges OF
wholesale fraud at h e polis
against his rivals and said his
candidate would insist upon a
run-off election provided COM
plete returns did not give Walm-
sley a majority and Klorer ran
second. A runoff is required by
law where the leading candidate
does, not have majority, but
heretofore, the second candidate
always has withdrawn, making a
run-off unnecessary.
Returns from 1853 Of the clty,s
262 precincts showed Walmsley'a
total was 26,7S1, Klorer's IT,,
341. Francis Williams, third
candidate, received 14,430.

department of state at A p. m. He
handed the note to Secretary OF
State Cosmo de la Torrienta and
Is minutes later departed.
Word ran swiftly through the
city and within another quarter
of an hour, fireworks, rifle and
revolver reports and the shrieking
of sirens and whistles from scores
of. boats and factories formed a
bowling background against which
the booming of 21-gun salutes by
the U. S. Wyoming and Cuban
shore batteries resounded.
The shouting continued as dusk
fell and the unusual spectacle Of
civilians joining in with big fire
crackers added a Fourth of July
touch to the tumult. Thousands
focked first to the water front,
where the Wyoming fired 21-gun
salute at 4:30 p. M. answered by
Cuban batteries.
= Ehe noise subsiding in that sec
tor, the crowds ran to the presi.
Dental palace, inevitable scene Of
demonstrations. and cheered Pres
ident Carlos Mendieta. whose re-
gime in Washington had just as
sured through the moral support
of recognition.
Cheers for President Roosevelt
rang through the broad avenues:
A holiday atmosphere pervaded

guaranteed.
Meanwhile, the possibility of
the Austrian appeal for such 9

the drop shoulderline and the ruff1es

front and bound to the head with a
roll of self material. The color scheme

yellow and white, using the color Of
the first Towering shrub, the for
sythia, both in decoration and in the
bridesmaids frockS. furthermore, yel-
low is considered an important color
Of the season.
A close relationship in design
of the gowns worn by the bride and
her attendants which was so strik-
ingly revealed in this group, is one
of the highlights of bridal costumes
this season. The bridesmaids
frocks of yellow moussline de sole
have the same ruffled skirt treat
ment as the brides gown. The little
flower girls, also in yellow, have
ankle length full skirts trimmed
with picoted ruchings, as are the
waists, and a narrow dark-red
velvet ribbon ties around with a
bow in front and long ends. Tiny
shepherdess hats of yellow complete
these adorable fashioned cos
tunes.
WHEN we come to the bridal veil
we find that there are many
beautiful arrangements for tulle and
orange blossoms to make becoming
frame for the face and yet follow the
current fashion trends. The veil is
usually designed right on the head Of
the bride to be, various suggestions
being offered by the millinery expert
in the hat department. We talked
with one of these experts in a local
shop, and she was enthusiastic about
bridal wells, and the designs which she
has created appear in various promi-
nent places in the store.
The halo or tiara effect is much used
as a result of the popularity Of the
present styles in evening hair orna-
ments. One of these has halo ef-
feet of tulle well back on the head and
a narrow band of wax orange blossoms
across the front of the hair, the veil
being fastened to the back band. An

THE bridesmaids dresses are pre-
cious. A glimpse at some Of the
newest show two In mousseline, one id
peach and the other in periwinkle blue
both trimmed with pleatings Of the
material. The peach frock has q
tight-f1tting sleeveless bodice with long
plain skirt quite full, over which is
worn a floor-length overdress with
high neck and round collar, puff
sleeves with three rows of pleatings,
and much pleating on the skirt. The
bodice has a row Of tiny buttons
straight down the front. The other
frock has similar details Of collar and
pleatings, but there Is q shorter jacket
and an adorable pleated mousseline
muff with spray of flowers to carry
instead Of a bouquet. A maid Of honor
in pastel pink lace would be lovely
to attend the bride who chooses lace
for her own gown. One has a tight
fitting jacket with sleeves just above
the elbow which are fairly wide and
edged with fur dyed the same shade
as the dress.
The bridesmaids hats are dreams,
too. Wide hoppy brims Of stitched
taffeta with thin net shallow crowns
and fiat flower clusters at the sides
come in delicate pastels, and smaller
ones in tinted horsehair with tiny
nose wells are attractive also.
The exquisite bridal lingerie in white
satin and lace should have much space
devoted to it and will receive attention

BY LEE PAPE.

7 WAS sitting on Puds Simkinses
front steps tawking to him about
diffrent subjecks and we started to
have a debate about mustashes and
whether they're good things to have
or not, me saying yes and him saying
no, saying Good mite what goods a
mustash, people with mustashes haff
to keep trimming them with scizzers
in front of looking glass and If
they get one half teeny little bit
shorter than the other it makes them
mad as anything, SO that proves mus
flashes are bad for your temper.
No 1t don't, either, it proves they
teech you to be patient and make
you careful, said. And what's more
IL you have a mustash you can take
peoples babies up on your lap and
they pull your mustash and have a
crate time insted of Embarrassing you
by crying while you're trying to be
funny and make them laugh, so you
get a reputation for understanding
babies when here it's ony your mus
tash all a time, I said.
o yeh? Well who wants to spend
their life with nothing on their lap
but babies? Puds said. And how
about mustashes getting in the way
of your coffee and soup and stuff and
being hard on napkins and making
fearse big laundry bills2 he said.
Yes and how about the times they
keep you from berning your tung
when you hear the end sizzle and
back away just in time? I said. And
besides when people get tired of look
ing at you and don't hardly notice
you any more why all you haff to do
is have your mustash shaved of and
come home looking so diffrent you
create as much attention as a side
show just with your face alone. and
when the excitement wears of why
you just leeve it grow again and start
all over, I said.
Wich just then some more of the
fellows came up and We got up a
game of cops and robbers.
