Allen Says PROBE c t
Will Take Men
Off Relief

Fifteen hundred men living fol
more than a year on the dole were
given jobs in Washington today.
They are the first contingent
; Of a large army of unemployed
here who have been promised jobs
under the recently.inaugurated
works relief administration. Dis
trict officials say their employment
will last at least a year.
Their pay ranges from $45 q
month for common labor to $50 q
month for skilled workers and
white collar employees.
District Commissioner George E
Allen and his aides today inspect
ed two major projects designed tc
afford employment to the 1,5O(
men.
Under the program outlined by
District officials So projects will
be chosen which ultimately give
employment to an additional a.
900 men and women on relief
here.
Roadway Cleared, Graded
Projects visited today were
clearance and grading of a 5000
foot roadway at Forty-fourth and
Fulton Streets Northwest, and
terracing of an embankment at
Adams Mills Road and the Har'
ward Street entrance to the Zoo.
Besides the District head, the
party included Capt. H. c. White"
hurst. director Of highways; Capt.
H. F. Clark, assistant Engineer
Commissioner; William Cleary
and Ross Haworth.
Commissioner Allen explained
the projects. Mainly colored Ia
borers, the men work 7-hour day,
5-day week and their salaries are
$45 a. month, as compared to $25
a month budget when they were
on relief rolls.
The clearance and grading job
will cut a street through from
Forty-fourth and Fulton Street to
w Street N. w. and eventually to
Foxhall Road. It is expected the
project will be completed and
ready for street paving within SO
days.
A crew of go men are employed
on this job. It consists of grad
ing the street and filling in with
material salvaged from other
highway projects and cutting
through a small forest from DeX-
ter Street on to w Street.
After the crews have laid out
the roadway, the regular force o:
the Highway Department will pave
the streets. Commissioner Allen
said he expected the completion
of this job would bring about
building of homes along the road
way, which would aid in putting
men back to work in private pro
jects.

The Senate lobby committee
today traced to at least one Of its
sources the whispering cam
paign" questioning the sanity Of
President Roosevelt.
A spare, semi-bald, Orange, N.
j., advertising man, E. P. Cramer,
admitted, first, that he suggested
the campaign in letter to c. E.
Groesbeck, chairman of the board
of the Electric Bond and Share
Corporation, March %, and, Sec
ond, that such a campaign came
into being.
Cramer had offices in the Edi.
son Industries office in Orange.
Committee investigators served
a subpoena on Cramer in his hotel
room at Plainfield, N. j., at 1:10
this morning after he had refused
to come at a simple Geographic
request.
Ashamed of Idea
The witness admitted he was
ashamed of the idea now. He
said, under severe grilling, that it
was an "unsound idea"
The campaign suggested by
Cramer grew to such proportions
recently that Washington news
paper offices received queries from
throughout the nation asking
whether there was any truth in
the rUmorS.
Committee chairman, Senator
Black CD of Alabama, asked
Cramer:
did you have any basis for
such a whispering campaign"
'NOne whatever"
"You knew it was false?"

Had any doctor made such a
Statement-that President R0Ose-

President Roosevelt tried to
sneak off from the White House
yesterday afternoon for a
picnic, without publicity-and like
all other presidential attempts to
hide, it made about eight times
as much newspaper activity as
if he had gone down PennSyl-

While the President was sneak

1HOcEndUAOuuA GNC"p SCA SASO
Congress was admonished by
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau today not to regard the in
creased revenue raised by the new
tax bill as dependable.
Instead, he said, the revenue to
be derived should be devoted to re-
ducing the deficit and decreasing
the public debt.
Mr.. Morgenthau refused to rec
ommend a tax program to the
Senate Finance Committee to
carry out President Roosevelt's tax
message.
Asked by Senator Harrison (D0
of Mississippi whether the Admin
istration will be satisfied with any
tax bill that Congress passes, Mr..
Morgenthau replied:
ut will have to be"
REFUSED AN OPINION
Although Senator Harrison as
serted that the $270,000,000 tax
bill drafted by the House Ways
and Means Committee did not
conform to the Presidents mes
sage, Mr.. Morgenthau refused to
express an opinion.
Senator Harrison appeared net
tied at his refusal to recommend
a definite tax program and told
Mr.. Morgenthau that he was the
first Secretary of the Treasury to
refuse to advise Congress on tax
alton.
Mr.. Morgenthau said that as
long as he is Secretary OF the
Treasury he will not attempt to
tell Congress how to write a tax
bill.
Mr.. Morgenthau appeared be
fore the Senate Finance Commit
tee and declined to discuss the
specific measure now before the
House.
Up to Congress
It is Congress- duty, not the
Treasury's, he said, to fix the
rates and schedules. Mr.. Nor
genthau said:
"Ordinary expenditures for
the general purposes Of govern.
ment have been held within the
revenues. We have incurred and
are mourning large emergency
expenditures according to a
carefully planned program for
the sole object of caring for the

State ERA officials were fran.

Officials Of two counties, Mower
