2 CHESAPEAKE
BRIDGE PLANS
One the Offer of a New York
Syndicate, the Other a
Federal Loan
COMMISSION HAS BOTH

Two plans for the financing of
the Chesapeake Bay Bridge are re-
ported to be before the Maryland
Bay Bridge Authority, Albert D.
Graham, chairman. Because each
involves the hope that a gift of $4,-
100000 will be made by the Feder-
al Public Works Administration,
some of those interested in the con-
struction of the bridge are known
| to be very much dissatisfied be
cause no move has been made to-
ward actually trying out either
plan. 1t is said that if the S4,
100000 is not obtained by Decem-
ber Is, it will not be obtained al
all. The plans are: Plan l. An Of
fer by group of bankers, includ-
ing Stranihan, Harris & Co., Of
New York, to underwrite $780,
900 or $6,OOO,OO0 of Chesapeake
Bay Bridge Authority bonds bear
ing interest of As per cent. if the
bonds are given to them at 95.
This S5, 100000 or 100000 would
be sufficient to build the bridge, it
is said if the PWA would add 81
100000 to make up a total of be-
tween $1O.00O,000 and $11 100000,
representing the total cost of the
structure. 1t has been said that
this offer had been made for bonds
of the State of Maryland itself, not
the authority, or for bonds guar
anteed by the State. Those fanli-
Liar with the offer say at was made
for bonds of the authority and that
no demand for special State
guarantee was made. Plan 2. The

SUN OIL COMPANY PROGRESS

Reminiscing over the early days

mind many a forgotten fact which
leaves a sense of homesickness in
the memory of those who were tod

was asked if any progress was be-
ing made in the matter of the
bridge financing and if he favored
the second plan, he said that he
could not discuss It; that he might
have something to say later. He
has said that he does not regard
Plan No. as any offer at all; that
it would require the bridge author
ity to pay too much for its money.
United States Senators Millard E.
Tydings and George L. Radcliffe
have been working recently en-
plans to keep the Federal author
tiles, from whom the gift and loans
might be obtained, in line. It is
pointed out, however, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has said that nc al

ter ecember Is. Those who are i'm

bridge financing plan to make
definite progres say that the op-
portunity to get a gift of S4-5OO,-

something should be done toward
taking advantage of that offer
which represents part of the ef-
fort of Federal authorities to put
men now idle to work It has been
estimated in the past that an ever
age of 5000 men a month would be
employed on the bridge for a per
iod of eighteen months and perhaps
5000 men a month would be en-
ployed for year in producing the
materials to be used.

Bitter wrangling between prose
cutor and defense counsel in the
Lyddane case flared anew today
as attorneys sought evidence held
by the State against the blonde
bank clerk accused of planning
the murder of her husband.
Defense Counsel Stedman Pres
colt fought bitterly with States
Attorney James Pugh for mo-
mentary possession Of a type
writer on which, the State claims,
certain. notes were written to po-
lice characters involved in the
alleged plot.
Mr.. Pugh steadfastly refused
to allow defense attorneys a
glimpse at the machine and
further denied requests for a
look att the alleged notes.
Anne Lyddane, central figure
in the drama, was in hiding in
Washington today but will return
to Rockville late tonight for a
last-minute conference with her
attorneys on the latest surprise
move made by the State.
Meanwhile, the States attorney
revealed he had been informed a
juror on the grand jury, which

She said this today at her press
conference when the superstition

feel that way about it, she GER

Mrs. Roosevelt will be in Belair
Tuesday for exercises at the Peo-

Head of Application Unit Says

Existing Government agencies
will carry out the 4,000-million-
dollar work relief progra
through which the President ex-
poets to have 100000 employ

This was the program outlined
today by Frank c. Walker, head
of the new Division of Applica'
lions and Information, as the
work allotment board prepared
for its first business session to
pass on applications for projects.
Although Mr.. Walkers division
is new in the setup, the actual
work of his unit will be carried on
largely by existing personnel,
workers for the National Emer'
gency Council and for the PWA
and FERA. The new progress
division, of which Relief Admins
traitor Harry L. Hopkins is head,
also viii be carried on by FEFA
employees. Mr.. Walker said:
"The existing governmental
agencies have trained employees,
familiar with the work we are
attempting to do. For instance
the PWA has been operating for
two years. Emergency relief
also has been at work for more
than two years. The highway
and Embarrassing elimination
program will be carried ON by
the trained personnel Of the
raod and highways division OF
the Department Of Agriculture.
BORROW WORKERS
''In our organization we are
using workers from the Ma

also are borrowing workers
from PWA and FERA.

IN DISPUTED
|. PROVISIONS
2.Year Extension, However,
Stands After Conference
With Richberg

While the Senate and the
House are at loggerheads over ex-
tension of the MIRA, President
Roosevelt met with Donald Rich
berg and his entire NRA board
today and agreed upon revised
must" program for extension of
the life of the Blue Eagle for
two years from June is.
The agreement accentuated the
fact that the Administration de"
sires to protect small industries
and to prevent monopolies, these
items being under attack at pres
ent by opponents OF MIRA.
Voluntary Codes
The principal points agreed
upon at the White House today, in
addition to a full two years ex-
tension, included provisions for
voluntary codes, with adequate
authority to impose limited codes
covering minimum wages, maxi
mum hours, prohibition of child
labor and Section IA.
The conference also agreed upon
definite authority and standards
to prevent unfair competitive
practices, especially those tending
to monopoly and the destruction
of small enterprises.
Other provisions agreed upon
today included drastic enforce
ment provisions and an easier SUI
pervision over small enterprises.
With the NRA expiring legally
one month from today, the Ways
and Means Committee voted today
to hold open hearings on the Sen.
ate's Observation-Disclosures plan,
which President Roosevelt and the
House disapproves.
The House in all probability
will then enact the two-year-ex-
tension plan desired by the Ad-
ministration, and fight it out with
the Senate in conference.
Meantime, Senator Clark CD
of Missouri, author of the Senate
resolution extending the NRA for
nine months, planned to take the
Senate floor to lash Mr.. Richberg
for lobbying activities.
Pleads For NRA
Mr.. Richberg, with three other
New Deal officials, pleaded the
NRA case in a three-hour secret
conference with Democratic mem
bers of the House Ways and
Means Committee last night.
He assailed terms of the Clerk
resolution which would take all
intrastate business out of the
NRA and end it April /, 1896.
He demanded control over many
local businesses by writing au.
thority in a bill to code interstate
businesses or those substantially
affecting" interstate commerce.
