Mr.. Anderson, the Spout
Springs mail carrier, skull and
chest badly crushed, died at the

was too severely burned, how,
ever, to permit Identification
pending arrival of relatives of
the others in the death car.

D. c. May Be Permitted to
; Borrow Funds to Build
: Municipal Center
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt today made
public the second step in his 1000
million dollar work program, max
ing 1t clear that practically all the
money is to be spent through exist
ing Government departments:
that he, as President of the United
States, is to run the job with the
assistance of one or two boards;
and that only three new agencies
will have to be created.
Under the Presidents explana-
ton, the clerical work of practi-
cally every Government depart
ment in the District will be greatly
increased although the permanent
Government payroll will not be
enlarged.
4 D. C. Projects Ready
Incidentally, the President made
It clear that there are four large
projects all ready for the District
which can be started as soon as
a certified list of workers now on
relief can be made up by the
&)4SUA Nv
The first step in starting relief
work here will be appointment
of o director, as all OF the engi-
neering and other necessary pre-
liminafieS have been completed.
Part Of the work in Washington
can be done through the CCC
camps and also through the PWA
which is to continue in existence.
This would mean road work, re-
forestation, work in the parks,
and some new buildings.
The President made it clear
that neither in the District or else
where would it be necessary for
the city or State to put up money
to match the large sums the Gov
eminent is going to put up.
This would mean, it is under
stood, that the District of Colum.
bia may be permitted to borrow
Government funds for such prof.
ectS as a civic center or municipal
center, new parks or schools, etc.
A surprise in the Presidents
statement today was the part to be
played by Prof. ReXford G. Tug
well, Undersecretary OF Agrlcul,
ture, who will have charge OF
rural resettlement projects the 90
ject of which is to give new start
in life both to individuals and en-
tire communities wherE they have
begged down on land where it is
impossible to make ends meet.
3 New Divisions
Mr.. Tugwell's work will be to
direct one of the three new divis-
ions to be set up outside of the
other regular departments. The
other two are to be division for
grade crossing elimination, which
will be run by the Bureau of
Roads, Department of Agricul-
ture, and new division in charge
of rural identification.
The rest of the work, details of
which covered many mimeo,
graphed pages, is actually an ex-
pansion of all the work of a
social and humanitarian nature
that the government is now
undertaking. It is an expansion
of the work of various govern,
ment departments including a
great deal of research. For this
research work large portion of
the white collar relief army" will
be enlisted.

many has a war chest" Of
nearly $4,000, 100000 located in
foreign countries, according to
Agence Economique ct Financiere
in a dispatch today from London.
Citing "Well-knoWn London ex-

newspaper said most of the funds
were placed in the United States,
Holland and the Netherlands.
AS long ago as 1923, this broker
was quoted as saying, Germany

foreign exchange received in banks
under fictitious names.

POLICY

International News Service

1nterna t1Onal News Service
Announcement of a new Treas
ury policy regarding the price OF
silver was expected at any time
today after the upward move
ment of the world price to a point
above the Till cents an ounce
offered by this Government.
The world market price today
was 71.36 cents.
High Treasury officials declined
to comment on the situation.
Price May Be Raised
There were three possibilities
that the Treasury would establish
a new price for silver at a level
substantially higher than Till
cents; that it would adopt policy
of buying at the market rate, or
that this Government might sell
silver.
The last policy was highly i'm

selling would drop the market and
make it possible for the Treasury
to buy at more nearly the intrin'
sic value of silver. Secretary Nor,
genthau, under the law, might
establish a silver price at a level
under the market price, which
automatically would have the ef'
feet of lowering the world price
Holdings To Be Increased
The Government registers a
profit" on purchases of silver
when buying is at less than the
statutory rate of $129 an ounce
This profit is known as Seigniorage
Regardless of the price paid for
silver, paper dollars on its security
are printed at the rate of $1.29 per
ounce.
Under the law the Treasury is
required to boost the silver hold
ings of the Government so that
there will be one part silver to
three parts gold in the monetary
reserve.

Representative John ]. COch-
ran (D.) of Missouri, sponsor Of
the married persons" clause
of the economy act, today de-
manded the resignation of E.
Claude BabcOck as head of the
American Federation of Gov
eminent Employees because Of
the statement made by the lat
ter Yesterday that the married
persons clause had caused Gov
eminent employees to lead i'm
moral lives.
Down the line in the Govern
ment service, officials today en-
phatically denied any knowledge
of a situation in which employees
have ignored marriage and lived
together without legal sanction be-
cause of fear of Section 21S Of
the Economy Act.
Introduced as testimony by E.
Claude HBAbcock, president of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, during hearings
on the Celler bill to repeal Section
213, the assertion drew terse re-
futation from officers of the De-
partment of Commerce, General
Accounting Office, Department of
Agriculture, Bureau of the Census,
National Recovery Administration,
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration and other Federal agencies.
Sharp Criticism
Director William L. Austin Of
the Census and his appointment
chief, Miss Emily Farnum, both
agreed that they had never en-
countered immortality among sub
ordinates. Mr.. Austin said:
81 should say it is a libel
on Government employees. We
in this bureau have never found
any immortality at any time,
and think the evidence should
be produced. 1 do not think it
is true"
At the Department of Com
merce, where more than 5000
men and women, many young.
are employed, administration as
sistant Malcolm Kerlin said:

marriages among our personnel
