Finding jobs for $4,000 persons
q week for the next Is weeks, with
q record of having placed only
1O3,O 900 from the relief rolls at
work since the 1000 million dollar
work relief act was passed three
months ago, was the task con-
fronting the Roosevelt Administra-
ton today.
OF the 100000 from the relief
rolls who have been given jobs
under the new work relief pro-
gram, $4,000 have been enrolled
in the Civilian Conservation Corps.
$4,000 For "a Other Agencies
All other agencies Of the Gov.
ernment-the Army, Navy, Treas
ury, Public Works Administration,
Works Progress Administration,
Rural Resettlement, National
Youth Administration, Department
Of Agriculture and Sc others tax
ing part in the program have
placed only $4,000 from the relief
rolls on jobs.
Although the program actually
only was launched on June is,
when enrollments were opened in
the CCC to increase that organiza-
ton to 100000 men. it has taken
Administration officials in charge
since April Is, when the act was
passed, to begin functioning on
other projects.
Meanwhile thousands have been
put to work in administrative jobs
more than 5000 in the rural re-
settlement organization alone.
Speed Promised Now
Harry l.. Hopkins, works prog
ress administrator and "key" man
in the program, however, declared
that from now on progress will
be steady and rapid, and we will
have all of the employables from
the relief rolls at work by NoVem-

ress division, the division Of ap-
plications and information, the
rural identification, rural settle
ment, national young. and various
other divisions of the program,
has been charged with the delay
to date.
Now a new delay is being en-
countered, it was admitted-delay
in getting approvalS Of projects
through the office Of Comptroller
General McCarl, and the Treasury
Department. McCarrS depart
ment is one branch OF the Govern
ment which has been given no
additional help to handle the new

After approval by the division
chiefs here, then they go before
the works allotment advisory
board, of which PWA Admins
traitor Harold L. 1ckes is chair
man. If approved there, they go
to the President for approval,
then to the Bureau of the Budget,
for approval by Acting Director
Bell, then to McCarl's office,
where, if approved, the warrants
are drawn. and sent to the Trea-
sury. Only then does the money
become available for spending on

ROAD
PLAN READY

Consolidation Of the Districts
works-relief programs on highways
and grade crossings was proposed
today by Capt. H. C. Whitehurst,
Director of Highways.
The new plan is made neces-
sary, he said, by the Federal
Works Administrations wage limi-
tation regulation under which the
amount which may be spent for
services of one man and the
materials he uses cannot exceed
81, 400.
To carry out the program pre-
pared by District highway officials
several months ago, a much higher
ratio would be required for mate
rails and labor. Captain White
hurst pointed out that the con-
solidation of the two programs
would make available approx
mately $4,000 and that the addi-
tional sum would permit the
inclusion of necessary road prof.
ects in the program, at the same
time conforming to the $1,40O
limitation.
The Federal Works Administra-
ton has allotted $3.50, 900 to the
District for highway and grade
crossing elimination. Captain
Whitehurst's plan has been ap.
proved by Engineer Dan I. Sultan
and will be submitted to the
United States Bureau of Public
Roads.
The allotment will give a years
employment to 678 men.

SENATORS PLAN
To BROADEN
TAX BILL
Insurgents Prepare to Push
Campaign to Increase
Proposed Revenues
international News Service


Senate insurgents are quietly
planning a vigorous drive to
broaden the scope Of President
Roosevelt's share-the-wealth tax
program when it comes up in the
Senate.
Led by Senator La Toilette Cpl
Of Wisconsin and several others,
they will propose amendments de-
signed to double or triple the reve-
nue. prospects contemplated by the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee now.
Senator Borah (R) of Idaho,
Senator Couzens (RD of Michigan
and q number of others are en-
listed in the move. Senator La
Toilette said that the group want
ed a "real revenue BILL" although
he also favors the social objec'
tive of the plan, to break up the
nations huge fortunes. He said:
''Now is q good time to begin
paying up the budget deficit.
We ought to impose taxes which
will make q beginning in this
direction"
SHIFT PLAN
The Insurgents originally plan
ned to try to attach a heavy tax
program to the resolution extend
ing 500 million dollars of emer'
gency taxes another two years,
but abandoned this when they
were assured that there would
be action on the Presidential
program. Now, they will move
to include their program in this.
Senator La Toilette supports a
program Of higher income taxes
all along the line. Senator Cou.
ZenS has a specific corporation
excess profits tax which would
slash deeply into industrial prof
its. Senator Borah has not re-
vealed what he intends to pro-
pose, but indicated that he will
have amendments to the Presi-
Dental program broadening its
scope materially.
Corporations today faced the
prospect Of an added tax bur.
den Of one hundred million dol
lars a year as the House Ways
and Means Committee juggled
facts and figures in an effort to
produce q bill to carry out Soak.
the4Saving" program.
Draw Schedules
Committee experts were under
instructions to draw a set of
excess profits schedules designed
to raise this sum with an ex-
pected Improvement in business
conditions.
The committee also had before
it a tentative schedule drawn by
it's experts, with estimates of
yield supplied by the Treasury,
based upon President Roosevelt's
proposal for a graduated corpo-
ration income tax.
Hastings Reveals Lobby
Meanwhile, Senator Hastings
(RO Of Delaware turned over to
the Senate Lobby Committee 10
typed letters bearing on the tax
program.
He said the letters, which came
from New York, New Jersey and
Baltimore, were clearly written on
the same typewriter and were in
identical envelopes.
The lobby committee may seek
additional authority to investigate
all lobbying efforts in connection
with the Presidents wealth tax
program.

ROMANCE
ALSO 4 BUST

WARE, Mass, May 10 G.N.S0.
Love flew out the window for the
third time today for Miss Veronica
Zajac, 35-year-old wealthy farmer
cite, who, on two previous oc-
caSionS was left at the altar by
Would.be husbands.
Her latest romance, backed up
by dreams and promises, went to
smash when police, acting on her
complaint, arrested Frank j. Pill
sudski, 46, and married, of Indiana
Harbor, Ind, on charges of obtain
ing 1908 from his prospective
bride under false pretenses.
PilSudski allegedly represented
himself as brother Of the famous
Marshal PilSudski, Polish general,
and claimed to have an estate in
Poland.
After coming here last January,
the romance between PilSudSki
and Miss Zajac blossomed. Then
Pilsudski left on a trip, telling
Miss Zajac. she said, he was going
back to Poland for short visit.
On his return recently, Pilsudski
told Miss Zajac customs officials
at the Mexican border had held
up jewelry and other family heir
looms he was bringing to her for
payment of customs duty. Police
charged that he obtained the 1903
from Miss Zajac on the pretext it
was to pay the allegedly unpaid
customs duty. Pilsudski was ar
rested at Northampton while on a
bus bound for the West.

Omnibus Is Bus
Now in England

LONDON, May 10.-London is
to have no more omnibuseS!
The London Passenger Trans,
port Board, which controls prac'
tically the whole motor and me-
chanical transportation system, is
in future going to call an omnibus
a bus. Philology has nothing to
do with the decision. The L. P,
T. B. has found that "bus" will
save time in typewriting and print
ing.
"Omnibus," was first used in
France in 1928 to describe "a four,
wheeled public vehicle for carrying
PASSENGERS" In 1885 the French
Academy officially adopted the
word.
London's first omnibus, horse
drawn, piled from Paddington TO

With Marshal Joseph Pilsudski I'm

Some quarters saw a diplomatic

lieutenant, Foreign Minister Joseph
Beck, would have full authority to
deal with Laval.
Informed quarters indicated
that Laval is expected to ask this
embarrassing question:
els Poland with France, or
linked mysteriOusly with Ger

Beck, it was said, will probably
sidestep the issue with the reply:
"The rancO-POlish alliance
still exists"
