 "Here is a chance" Hopkins told the assembled officials. Ito do cer- tain things for certain types of people, who, think. have had a tough break during the depression. It is unthinkable that anybody would use any part of this $400,- 000,000 for any political purpose. It is unthinkable that anybody would use this money for private or personal profit or gain. l have great confidence in the public offi- cials of America, because that is really to whom we are talking"
 Hopkins has been somewhat dis appointed in the matter of political use of CWA funds and their use for private gain. But more than 100000 persons did get jobs. CWA records show that the peak load of employment was 4.l20,o00' Taking 100000 as the average, it is costing the government ap- proximately $100 to carry each CWA worker through the winter. Many of them have families.

FRENCH PLAN AIR ARCOSY
Paris Enthusiast Hopes for Bona-Fide Trip Around
 the World

Paris, (UP)-An air tour of the world without landing in other than French territory is being ad- vocated by a Paris enthusiast.
 The flight. consisting of IA legs over a distance of 47,000 kilome- ters, would constitute the first bona fide air trip around the earth, according to Andre Reuze. aviation expert of the Excelsior, Q newspaper.
 The proposed air argosy would be both above and below the Equator. whereas circumaviation of the globe to date has been only above the midriff, Reuze points out, adding as a measure of en- couragement that no single leg of the flight would exceed, or even equal, the long-distance record of Codos and Rossi.
