FiUe Point Program
For Congress

To the Editor of The Times:
Instead of frittering away its
time on petty quarrels, stage
play, headline hunting and
useless Investigations of sub
jects it knows nothing about
and which frequently are none
of it's business, I suggest that
Congress devote itself to this
program:
/. To debunking the cease
less stream of quack legislative
remedies emanating from the
White House and the so-called
Brain Trust, and to pigeon
holing most of it.
2. To giving the Army, the
Navy, and the police agencies
Of the Federal government the
men and material necessary to
make the nation secure from
attack, without or within.
8. To making provision for
air and naval bases in the
Aleutian Islands, both for the

Conflicting Agencies
Of Administration

} To the Editor of The Times:
It seems to me that it is time
for the President to begin to
coordinate some of the con-
flicting agencies and policies
OF his Administration.
AS the latest illustration Of
senseleSs conflict, we have Mr..
Peek, heading the Import-Ex-
port Bank, attempting to over
rule Secretary of State Cordell
Hull in arranging a cotton
trade with Germany and other
Swaps" of American products
with other countries. Secre-
tary Hull quite properly insists
on Scrutinizing all such trans
actions because of the posi-
bility of complications under
our INSTRUMENTATION treat
1es.
For IS years the United
States has been slowly and
carefully building a better
foundation for its foreign trade
in the negotiation of such
treaties with other trading ma
tions. To allow Mr.. Peek or
anyone else to do any Yankee
trading" in disregard of these
treaties, or in ignorance of
the consequences of such trades,
would be to do one of two
things: Scrap our most es-
sential trading policy, or
possibly open the doors to a
flood of foreign products from
lowcoSt competitors.

received one cent of their cuts
back.
My first cut was S. a week
from the salary of $40.
Then I received another $3.50
cut. I resigned in desperation.
I had to quit to find time to
look for better work because
my hours were from $3.50 in
the morning to 6 p. M, with
time off for lunch, if we weren't
too busy, and we often were.
It was a mistake, of course,
to quit for I was nearly two
months unemployed before I
got my next job. Now I am
working in a doctors office
as his stenographer and as
sistant. He is a wealthy doc.
tor, too, but all he pays me is
$40 a week.
What I want to know is
where that NRA stuff went to,
and how girls like me can be
protected. If I could live COM
fortably on what I earn I
wouldn't mind, but it Is not
enough money. c. M. P.

Now that the Government work

FOR SCHOOLS

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, May
10.-A Federal subsidy to pay the
cost Of educating children of
Government employees. who live
in Prince Georges county, or a
100000 school building program,
will be necessary to care for the
mcreasG - population attrib-
utable to the New Deal, Nicholas
Orem, superintendent of schools,
declared today.
Government employees, brought
TO the District by New Deal
agencies, have occupied all avail
able homes and are buying new
homes so rapidly that educating
children Of nearby Maryland is
his most difficult problem, Mr..
Orem said.
Taxes Lag
While real estate men assert
that they cannot build homes fast
enough for the demand, Mr.. Orem
declared that the cost of educa-
ton has outgrown the taxes due
from the new arrivals. Mt. Rain
der, he disclosed, has more Govern
ment employees in ratio to popula-
ton than Washington.
One solution, he said, would be
an outright grant from the Fed
eral Government, sharing the ex-
penSe. Another solution is a
$500, 1000 grant of public works
funds and a 100000 county bond
issue. He asserted he is opposed
to the present public works policy
OF a 80 per cent grant because con-
tract restrictions raise conStruc.
zion costs out of proportion.
Projects Near D. C.
Although Mr.. Orem would not
name specific schools needed, a
study of a list sent to Abel VOL
man, State director. three months
ago as a proposed public works
program, reveals that the majority

PRESIDENT N|PS.
S310,000,000
OFF Of PWA

President Roosevelt. it was dis
closed late yesterday, has decided
to cut PWA's public works fund by
$31O,OO0,0O0.
The loss, it was explained by
Secretary of Interior Ickes, results
from the fact that this amount,
impounded out of the organiza-
tons old $3,700,000,000 public
works fund to conduct FERA
while waiting for Congress to pass
the recovery bill, will not be re-
turned to this fund.
Projects Earmarked
Instead, he said, projects which
were earmarked for the old pro-
gram will be merged into the
forthcoming $4,880, 100000 reem-
ployment campaign and all $780,
100000 worth will be allocated
again and paid for out of ear
markings carried in the reemploy-
ment bill for PWA.
Under this procedure, President
Roosevelt will be able to make a
showing of worthwhile" public
works projects which he had
promised for the $4,880, 900, 900
drive, since the PV7A has been
laying plans for these old projects
over the last 10 months. Such a
showing would be impossible if
the funds were not consolidated
because Of the time required to
frame public works projects.
Losses Listed
Individual losses in impounded
funds follow: Housing, $10,000,-
600; reclamation, $3,500,000; How
ard University, 100000; subsist-
ence homesteads, $35, 100000: soil
erosion, $6,000,000; Indian affairs,
$2,5OO,0OO; submarginal land pur-
chases, 100000. The remaining
losses accrue to loan and grant
funds.
Secretary IckeS, who previously
had said he expected FERA Adj
ministrator Hopkins to return the
$310,000,000 when the recovery
bill was passed, explained yester
day it never was contemplated
this money should be paid back
into PWA's old public works fund,
and that if this had been intended
Congress never would have ear
marked $9OO,OOO,0OO out of the
$4,890, O00, 900 for public works.
Legal experts elsewhere, how
ever, said the recovery bill as writ
ten by Congress intended the
5000, 900, 900 to be for works addi-
tional to those provided for out of
former funds and that the new
Administration move, confusing
the old with the new programs,
is of questionable legality.

STUDY THE PROGRAM

In today's issue of The Press will be
found the final installment of the con-
sulting engineers report on plans for
developing power from the All-AmericaE
canal. This lengthy report has been
published by The Press and all other
daily papers in Imperial Valley in order
that it may be studied and understood by
the people of this community, for whose
benefit the power development will be
undertaken and who will own and main
tain it. - = s. NNtZ
There is little of the dry and technical
about the report. He who reads it intel
ligently cannot fail to derive from it
picture of wonderfully improved, more
comfortable and more desirable lmper-
ial Valley as a result of this hydro
electric development.
In particular we would call the atten-
ton of all readers to the concluding par
agraphs of the report appearing in to-
DAYS installment, wherein the engineer
gives reasons why the power system
should be built and owned by the people
of Imperial Valley.
From an industrial standpoint such
ownership is desirable because of the de-
velopment of industries connected with
agriculture which require cheap power
for their successful operation.
Viewed from the domestic angle devel-
opment of cheap power means better llv-
ing conditions because of the opportuni-
try to use modern electrical equipment
and appliances to the fullest extent, both
in rural and urban homes. Homes can
be kept comfortable in winter and sum-
mer through an abundance of cheap
power for heating and cooling purposes.
Above all, the report points out, if for
elgn-owned power company is allowed to
have this business, it will be constant
financial drain on this community, while
If the system is publicly owned it will be
community asset, and any profit that
may be made will stay here and be ben
eft to the people of Imperial Valley
The engineer making the report, Will
liam S. Cone, has had years of exper-
fence in developing hydro-electric power
in various parts of the country and is a
recognized authority in his particular
field. His findings relative to the ALL
American canal power development have
been reached after extensive and first
hand investigation.
The people of Imperial Valley will do
well, and really owe it to themselves, to
study his recommendations carefully and
become thoroughly acquainted with the
project that they may discuss it intelli-
gently and know just what is being plan
ned for them by the officials of the I'M
perial Irrigation District The latter
have taken bold and progressive step
and will need the fullest support of the
people to bring it to a successful con-
clusion. aiaiE

Masako Yamashiro, grade 6.
On the edge of the desert about
two miles from school, the people
of the Trifolium school have found
Indian pottery. The pupils have
found out many interesting facts
about pottery. They have some
pieces with holes bored through
them, and some burned black by
fire. They have different colored
pieces. In their study of pottery,
they find it very interesting to know
how other people, centuries ago,
lived.-Lillian Shindlebower, grade
T.
One of the girls at Trifolium
school brought some corkscrew
beans. The beans were picked from
the mesquite trees. They are wound
around in clusters and they look like
corkscrews SO we call them cork
screw beans.
We are painting the corkscrews
with water colors. Then we will shell
lack them to make them shine. At
ter they are colored, we will use
them for decoration in our room.

The Trif>fum school is now 60
ing to make rock garden. Our
room is trying to find some big
rocks. Last year our room brought
a collection of plants. This year we
are going to try to get rocks. We
are going to plant plants in the
rock garden SO we will have both a
collection of rocks and a rock gar
den.-Wakako Nakamura, grade S.

Nurse Jane seemed very sad

asked Uncle Wiggily. AREN'T

"Oh, yes, there are plenty of
carrots" squeaked the muskrat

have eaten them. They have eat

but Baby Bunty. That's why I am
sad. Baby Bunty won't eat her

Soon all the rabbit children were

ing down hill in the snow, Uncle
Wiggily, with the help of Nurse
Jane, made a fine pie with spinach
in it. From the outside it looked
like an apple pie, especially when
powdered sugar was sprinkled on it.
All But Baby Bunty
At supper that evening, besides
the other food, dish of spinach
was set in front of each rabbit
child-that is all but Baby Bunty.
".Oh, goodie!" said the little or
phan rabbit. 81 don't have to eat
spinach. How glad I am!'
"No, but you must eat this pie, ;"
said Uncle Wiggily setting the spin
ach one in front of Bunt. "Eat
it all up
"Oh, love pie!" said Baby
Bunty. Especially with sugar on.
Thank you, Unkie Wig. I'm so
glad it isn't spinachi'
So Bunty ate the pie. She watch

Football letters were awarded to
10 members of this years squad in
the assembly, Friday, by Coach w.
S. Taylor. Four members of the
Girls Athletic association were also
awarded letters. Since this award is
the second highest offered by the
organization and represents unusual
athletic ability, few members ever
attain this distinction. Two of the
girls won their letters some time
ago, but since awards are made only
twice a year, they did not receive
the letters until yesterday. Those
who were awarded letters were Hell

Brucherie, and Tsunego Sugimoto.

this destructive force in California.
Another speaker at the assembly
was Frank Oswalt, who gave brief
talk on traffic control.

" e US Notes
From Trifoliun1

The primary children made a toy
city. The buildings are made of
cardboard boxes. They are painted
with water colors. Now we are max
ing book. In the book there are
stories. There is one about fishing
and one about sugar cane. We are
going to make moving picture of
houses.-Sam Yamashiro, 3rd grade.
During the last two weeks of De-
cember, some of the pupils of the
Trifolium school made block prints
for Christmas cards. They used
very simple tools.
The first thing they did was draw
simple picture that would illus
trate something about Christmas.
Then they cut the pattern out of
rubber from an old inner tube and
pasted it on piece of board. When
they were through pasting, they
covered the rubber with kalsomine
paint and pressed it in a piece of
paper.
These block prints made very
beautiful Christmas cards-Ruth
Tokeshi, grade 7.
Last week our teacher went to
the mountains. She brought back
some snow to show us. 1t was pret-
ty snow. She left the snow on the
doorstep 1t melted before we came
inside.-Hatsume Yamashiro, grade
