4 STATES ASK
FOR SHARE IN
W0RKFUND
Three Governors Call
on President to
Submit Bids

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 20
G.N.SO.-Four States-New York,
Indiana, Rhode Island and Maine
were due to make a bid today
for their share of the 1880 mil.
lion dollar work-relief fund.
Three Governors were calling
on President Roosevelt in per-
son. New York sent Lester w.
Herzog, works progress admins
traitor for the State, to solidify
the spade work done in a visit to
Hyde Park earlier this week by
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman.
The three governors scheduled
are Paul V. McNutt of Indiana,
Louis j. Brann of Maine, and
Theodore F. Green Of Rhode Is
land-all Democrats.
McNutt to Lunch
Governor McNutt, speaking for
Indiana, was on the engagement
list for lunch. 1t was under
stood he would call a special ses-
sion Of the legislature If he
could reach an agreement with
Mr.. Roosevelt on procedure.
Governor Brann was reported
interested primarily in the Passa-
maquoddy embarrassing project.
The Federal Government already
had allotted money to start work
on "Quoddy," but private en-
gineers insist its practical value
as a power project is still some
years removed.
Governor Green, for Rhode
Island, was expected to bring up
the industrial issue that has been
worrying the Roosevelt admins
tration in New England. Reports
have reached the White House
that the processing tax is alienat-
ing the industrial States Of the
Northeast from the Roosevelt
philosophy.
Another caller on the Hyde
Park list today is DR.. John w.
Studebaker. Federal Commissioner
of Education.

UNDERGROUND
REMOVAL
SOUGHT
Eugene Vidal FaVors
Move As Help to
Safety Of Filters

First steps in the removal OF
one of the most serious hazards
at Washington Hoover Airport will
be undertaken by the Bureau Of
Air Commerce shortly, by filing a
request with the Virginia State
corporation commission that high.
tension power lines and overhead
telephone cable, now running 80
feet above the southeast border OF
the airport, be placed under
ground.
The wires, running for a dis
lance of approximately 1900 feet,
are strung on poles situated, &C.
cording to airport officials, as
near the southeast border Of the
airport as possible without actu'
ally being on airport ground.
Termed a Menace
Long recognized as a menace
to airmen using the airport, and
by Bureau of Air Commerce OF.
ficials, the wires will be described
as such in the message which will
be forwarded to Judge William
Mead Fletcher, State Corporation
Commission member in charge OF
aviation, and to James M. Hayes,
Virginia State inspector Of avia-
ton and railroads.
Commenting upon the proposal,
Eugene Vidal, director of the Blu
reau of Air Commerce, said to
The Times:
"Wires have always been one
of the most serious hazards for
airpOrts. We favor anything
that can be done to make fly
ing safer and this is one way in
which safety can be accom-
plished."
EXERT EVERY EFFORT
John S. Wynne, chief Of the
airport division of the bureau, in
whose hands such complaints are
laid, declared:
eve at the bureau are going
to exert every effort to bring
about the removal of these
wires"
If the wires are strung along
public or State-owned property,
their removal will be undertaken
by utilizing PWA funds. This
would be accomplished by applica'
ton to Virginia Workers Progress
Administrator Harry Hopkins
Men from relief rolls, in this event,
would be employed on the project,
If, however, the wires, which
run from a gasoline station near
the Airport to the Pennsylvania
railroad property, are located on
privately or commercially owned
land, legal difficulties would be
encountered and the work delayed
considerably.
An investigation to determine
this phase of the problem will be
launched shortly.

P. u. c. Calls on Hanna
to Explain Reason
for SIoWness

AS the Public Utilities Com.
mission today was preparing to
"rake over the Goals" officials Of
the Capital Transit Company for
delay in the rerouting program
of street car lines, it became a
certainty that the major changes
in routes in the downtown area
will be postponed until next
spring.
Commission members ordered
John H. Hanna, president of the
company, to meet with them and
with Fred A. Sager, chief com.
mission engineer, and Director Of
Highways H. C. Whitehurst, in
executive session today in an
effort to speed up the rerouting
program.
Last April the commission APP
proved a number of rerouting
projects and ordered the com.
pany to have them completed be-
fore the end of this year. Re-
Gently the commission learned
from progress charts of the COM
pany that the projects were being
worked on a step-by-step basis
and will not be completed until
next year.
Outstanding among the projects
ordered completed by the COM
mission were track revampings
and line extensions in the down
town area at Fourteenth Street
and New York Avenue, Fifteenth
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.
Fifteenth and G Streets, and
Fourteenth Street and Pennsyl-
vania Avenue. The company has
been delayed in getting these
projects under way and the COM
mission had just about agreed
today they will be carried over
until spring.
This delay the commission ia.
vors because work on the projects
at this time would seriously ham,
per traffic during the Christmas
rush period. The commission, it
is understood. will order the COM
pany to begin the projects about
March !.
