only 25 per cent for the rural roads.
Meanwhile in connection with the
local program. Commissioner Allen
and other District officials returned to-
day from the conference Of regional
works administrators, which has been
under way in New York. Learning of
the approval given the slightly more
than $4,000 worth Of local projects.
the Commissioner Immediately set July
Is as the date for starting work.
At the same time he and his deputy
administrator, Capt. Howard F. Clark,
and the administrative assistant. VIII
liam C. Cleary, resumed consideration
of pending applications, which would
call for expenditure of nearly $5,o00,-
900 and furnish work to between 1000
and 5000 persons.
Among those suggested. Allen said,
is construction of a new building to
house the District Morgue. This may
be approved. but Allen has indicated
there is little chance for building OF
new schools or libraries or low cost
housing as a part of the program be-
cause Of the cost Of materials.
Hopes to Build Pools.
Allen indicated again that most Of
the projects likely would be in the ma
ture of repairs and alterations Of Gov
ernment buildings, improvements to
school grounds and Fairgrounds,
painting and grading jobs, sewer and
highway work, and said he hoped to
be able to build some swimming pools.
Allen is awaiting q decision by Con-
troller General McCarl as to whether
the District can use regular District
appropriations provided for the pur-
chase of materials on regular District
operations for the payment Of mate
rials needed in works programs on
highway and sewer work, the argu-
ment being that it would all tie into
the same sort of Improvements. The
question was laid before McCarl re-

LABOR SHARPLY
!. SPLIT BY n. R. A.
Some Favor New Deal Con-
tinuance and Others Re-
neWed Organization.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A. sharp division Of opinion on how
to preserve the workingman's N. r. A.
gains Is developing in the American
Federation Of Labor.
One school favors continuation Of
the New Deal idea of partnership"
between labor and industry, with the
Government looking on to see that
neither partner takes q trimming.
Another says the partnership" idea
hasn't worked and won't. This school
says discard the Government crutch,
60 out and organize the workers, and
get what you can by your economic
strength"
These direct actionists" say the
federation Is whistling in the dark in
calling the Wagner labor disputes bill
labor's magma charta. Big business,
they argue, is ready to challenge its
constitutionality as soon as the new
Labor Relations Board hands down
any decision favoring the unions.
Steel, rubber and automobiles already
have avowed their intention Of test
Ing the measure In the courts.
Long Litigation Opposed.
Prolonged court tests, they say, will
nullify any practical labor gains from
the measure.
The Supreme Courts unanimous
decision In the Schechter case wiping
out N. r. A. codes, they contend,
makes Federal wage and hour legisla-
ton Of any sort Of dubious constitu-
tionality. State pacts to preserve min
tmum and maximum hours, or en-
ployer agreements designed to accom-
plish the same purpose, they say,
could be wiped out by even a few
chiselers.
A constitutional amendment to per-
NIT Federal wage and hour law,
along with the principles of the Wag-
ner bill, would overcome these diff
culties, they say. But they ask
whether they could steer such an
amendment through Congress and
the necessary number of State Legis-
latures or conventions.
On the other hand, the Government
partnership proponents privately
are dubious about the federations
chances Of organizing labor to a de-
gree sufilcient to Withstand Industrial
opposition.
Labor Claims Modest.
Even after the N. r. A. organiza-
ton boom the Federation laid claim to
less than 100000 members out OF
about 100000 industrial employees
But If Wagner bill gains are slow
and few, they say, any gain at all
would be better than none.
They favor jamming through the
new N. r. A. legislation, based on a
Federal license system for industry.
This group more and more is turn
ing to constitutional amendment as
labor's sole salvation, however. Ex-
perience with N. r. A. and the N. L
r. AS collective bargaining guaran.
tee, has shown them that unless the
Government watchman in the part
nership is clothed with sufficient power
to enforce his findings, the stronger
OF the two partners-industry, so far
will dictate policy.

TREASURY ACT
DAzES SILVER
SMUGGLERS

The Treasury struck smash
ing blow to a gigantic interna-
tional silver smuggling conspiracy
by withdrawing as a buyer from
the London market, being flooded
by white metal secretly run out
of China to Japan and thence
to England, it was revealed yes
terday.
The official information con-
firms the exclusive Universal Serv-
ice report a week ago that this
Government was engaged in an
international struggle with power
full foreign financial interests for
control of the worlds silver mar
ket following characterization Of
silver by China.
Silver Flood Mounts
Smuggling of silver to Japan
increased tremendously following
the British move to link the pound
sterling with the new Chinese
managed currency in order to get
the high price being paid by the
United States for the metal, re-
ports to the State Department
show.
The flood of smuggled silver to
London, coupled with British sell
ing of Chinese metal to get gold
to back the new managed cur
rency, increased two-fold in Octo-
Der and November when American
purchases more than doubled.
The United States bought 190,-
100000 ounces. in october and
November, the Treasury reported.
Eighty million ounces constituted
the largest previous purchases in
a similar period.
U. S. Quits Market
Learning of smuggling activities
in the Orient that were fast drain
ing China of the metal, the
Treasury withdrew from its role
of big purchaser in London. Only
small purchases of silver known
not to be smuggled have been
made.
This policy is to be followed. 1t
was learned.
The move was understood here
to have helped the Chinese gov.
ernment hold some of its metal
all of which has been called in
from circulation from SmugglerS.
Many arrests have been reported
in Shanghai.

FACE SPLIT ON
CAPITOL HILL
By WALLACE WERBLE
international News Service

A split in the ranks Of the
Townsend old.age pension organl-
zation soon after Congress con-
venes appears likely.
The threat of diScord Is the re-
suit Of DR.. Francis E. Townsend's
plan to replace Representative
John S. McGroarty CD OF Cali
fornia, as sponsor of a $20O-a-
month old-age pension bill in the
House. Representative McGroarty,
a 67-year-old poet-journaliSt, was
sponsor of the Townsend bill in
troduced in the House last session,
and was known as the closest
friend of the California physician
on Capitol Hill.
Representative McGroarty Of
fered the pension plan as a sub
stitute for the old-age provisions
of the social security bill. Al
though a record roll call was not
taken on this motion, the Town
sendites were decisively defeated.
Townsend BalkS
Later Mr.. McGroarty agreed to
a compromise Townsend plan,
modifying some of its provisions,
reducing the pension amounts,
and increasing the age limit. DR..
Townsend would agree to no COM
promise, demanding the entire
plan or none.
Since then the belief has grown
that DR.. Townsend will not en-
trust sponsorship of his plan in
the House this session to his old
friend.
This belief was confirmed to-
day when it was learned that
the pension leaders plan to call
a caucus of all pro-Townsend Rep
resentatives Immediately after
Congress convenes. The meeting,
in which DR.. Townsend and his
chief aid, r. B. Clements, CO
originator. of the plan. will play
a big part. will determine who
will sponsor the accredited Town
send-plan bill in Congress this
session.
To Discuss Strategy
This caucus will also decide on
the strategy the Townsend forces
will use to obtain a vote on
their pension measure.
Another weakening in Town
sendite ranks is expected to re-
suit from certain congressional

Certain members Of Congress,
who otherwise favor liberal Fed

out that the 2 per cent tax, which
is in reality sales tax, will throw
the financial burden of the plan
on the poorer classes, making the
employed masses bear the burden
