NEW RELIEF RIFT
OVER FUNDS SEEN
Roosevelt May Divorce Ap'
Preparations for Works
to Avoid Disputes.
Nv thu Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The word went around in informed
circles today that President Roosevelt
may split up future appropriations for
public works and relief into separate
funds to avoid disputes over how they
shall be spent.
Both Harry L. Hopkins, relief and
works progress administrator, and
Secretary Ickes, public works chief,
who failed many times in the last six
months to agree on types of projects,
were reported to have urged separate
funds.
lt was reported the President has
made tentative decision on the sums
he.will ask from the next Congress for
relief purposes. No hint, however, was
given as to the size of either fund.
Associates of Hopkins, who recently
predicted there would be no return to
the dole, apparently were divided over
the extent to which improved condi-
tions will reduce the relief population.
Some indicated they thought almost
all the 3,5O0,000 employed on work.
relief would remain in need Of help
after July /. Others said many would
not and that only a comparatively
small sum would be needed.
Set Up Twin Objectives.
In his relief message last January,
the President set up the twin objec-
tives of useful" projects and those
fitted to the capacities Of dole recipi-
ents.,
Not until after the present $4,800,-
100000 fund was appropriated, high
official said today, was it fully real
ized that the supply Of suitable. relief
labor was inadequate for heavy prof.
ects which mostly are located In
sparsely-settled areas.
The additional realization that pub
lie works, reclamation and rivers and
harbors projects required heavy out
lay for materials, and that they needed
several years for completion, further
Increased the difficulties.
Ickes favored the heavy projects
Hopkins wanted lighter type, costing
less for materials. Constant appeals

earmarked for IckeS were slashed.
Industry Held Relief Key.

ment problem lies in 'the rigid curtail'

of policies which will give private in

Peace Held to Foster

BERLIN, April 26 GN.S).-Of-
fetal resentment and indignation
brought harsh words today
against Prime Minister j. Ram
say Macdonald of Britain, who
in an article to be published in
the London News Letter attacked
Germany as the chief obstacle to
European peace.
A foreign office spokesman
openly accused the premier of
fostering further distrust in the
European atmosphere by his al
legedly biased" ju d g m n t in
singing out Germany as the
object of an unjust attack"
The spokesman declared the
very fact Macdonald pilloried
Germany while ignoring reference
to other powers virtually multi
flies the articles value, reducing
it to the status of discriminatory
abusiveness hardly in keeping
with the dignity of a British
premier"
Meanwhile, it was anticipated
Chancellor Hitler's speech next
Wednesday, when Germany will
stage its annual labor festival,
will deal with the entire European
situation and definite pronounce
ment of Reich policy is expected.

Stray Alley Cat
Rescued From
: Power Pole

It was just a stray alley cat,
but it's modification could be
imagined today when in front
of scores of amused office work
ers it had to be rescued by a
human being who could do a
better job of climbing poles.
The cat managed to get to
the top of a power line pole in
the rear of a Treasury office
building, first block D st. N. E.
Then it was afraid to come
down, although it made several
false starts.
Office windows in the vicinity
soon were filled with spectators.
Time after time the cat started
down, only to scramble back to
it's high perch. The cat didn't
know it, but there were two
high power wires in its path.
Finally, Leon Hewitt, colored
messenger for the Treasury,
climbed the pole and rescued
the cat,

CITIZENS FIGHT
SHORT TON
FOR COAL
Unanimous Protest Made by
Associations; Dealers Defend
Weight Change

Unanimous protests against sale
of coal by the short ton in Wash
ington were expressed by represen-
tatives of local civic organizations
at a public hearing today before
the Commissioners.
The principal objection of the
civic group was that a change
from the present 2,240-pound ton
to a 2,000-pound ton would entail
additional costs to the consumer.
Costs Would Go Up
Costs of drayage and storage
would continue to be the same
even though the weight per ton
would be decreased, it was said.
The hearing was called by the
Commissioners after a request by
Washington coal merchants that
the Commissioners indorse a pro-
posed bill changing the weight
basis of coal sales.
Ringgold Hart, attorney for the
Merchants and Manufacturer
Association, representing the coal
dealers, asserted that the District
is the only section of the country
where the long ton is used.
The short ton, he said, must be
used by law in every State except
Delaware, and coal is being sold
there by the short ton, even
though the law requires use of
long-ton weight basis.
Roberts Attacked
Mr.. Hart criticized the report of
Superintendent of Weights and
Measures George M. Roberts. He
said Mr.. Roberts report intimateS
that the dealers are "a bunch OF
crooks" He said:
"Some people are anticipating
q dishonest act by merchants
who have maintained their
honesty and reputation"
Thomas E. Lodge, chairman of
committee appointed by the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tionS to study the problem, said
the citizen federation is opposed
to any change.
Citizens Protest
Voicing their protests against
the change were:
Isaac B. Nordlinger, of the
Georgetown Citizens Association;
A. j. Driscoll, president of the
Mid-City Citizens Association; C.
M. Maize, of the Columbia
Lodge of the International Union
of Machinists; John S. Driggers,
of the KenilWorth Citizens Asso-
citation; Harry S. Wender, Of the
Southwest Citizens Association;
James P. Cochran, of the Con-
duit Road Citizens Association,
and A. F. Scheer, of the Dahl
green Citizens Association.
James E. Colliflower, president
of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association and a local
coal dealer, stated that the
change in weight basis would be
accompanied by corresponding
reduction in the price of coal a
ton.
Representatives Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers ASSo-
citation and the Board Of Trade
Endorsed the change.

Defense Fund Totals
$4,000, Says WiIentz

Bruno Hauptmann's defense
fund has been Swelled to $4,000
through the contributions of sym

who obtained the German car.
penter'S conviction, stated today
The sum, he said, is exclusive
of money raised by Mrs. Haupt-
mann, who has been conducting
a Embarrassing campaign.
Mr.. WilentZ, who came to Wash
ington to confer with Postmaster
General Farley, said that he be-
lieves the statement by Haupt-
mans attorneys that $4,000 has
been collected for the appeal fund
is entirely too conservative.
The State attorney general
pointed out that he would oppose
Hauptmann's appeal for a new
trial OF the hearing scheduled for
around June 20, but that the argu-
ments will not go beyond the
questions as to whether he had a
fair trial. He said:
'Wc think that the evidence
) proved beyond a doubt that he
is the guilty man, and that,
therefore, he is not entitled to
another trial."
= Mr.. Wilentz replied to a COM
snent on his physical appearance:
eyes, I'm back to normal. I
lost a lot Of weight during that
trial.
D.: He was asked:
T do you think Hauptmann
will ever confess?"
"He might, If the Court of
Errors and Appeals denies his
application, but I don't think he
will"
do you think he will ever
lmplicate anybody else?"
There is nobody else to i'm
plicate."
It is said that Hauptmann's at
torneys will try to take the case
to the United States Supreme
Court, as a last resort, but Mr..
Wilentz does not think this can
be done. He does not expect the
New Jersey Court of Errors and
Appeals to revoke the verdict Of
the IL Hunterdon county men and
women, insisting that there was
no error in the trial to justify
such a decision.
There was some talk after
HauptmanY1's conviction that he
would take a pauper'S oath so the
State of New Jersey would have
to pay for his appeal. That was
before an appeal for funds from
Hauptmann's attorneys brought
money rolling in. Also before Mrs.
Hauptmann started her tour rails
ing money.
Mr.. Wilentz was asked about
this. He said:
"They are going to pay for
the appeal. 1 sent for Fred
erick Pope, of defense counsel,
some time ago, and asked him
If they intended to persist in a
pauper'S oath, because if they
did 1 meant to resist it, but Pope
said no, they would pay"

Mr.. Rosecrans stressed two Of
the points on which Hauptmann's

They are the presence in the

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and a
contention that the State was not
