PRESIDENT EASES
J0B-REL|EF TERMS
Boosts Outright Grant Limit
to As Per Cent and
SIaSheS Interest.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The administration today held out
easier lending terms and larger out
right grants to States and communities
in connection with the work relief
program.
President Roosevelt boosted the out
right grant maximum to As per cent
of the cost of a project and reduced to
per cent the interest to be paid on
the additional SIS per cent loan.
Under the P. w. A. set-up, the maxi
mum grant was 80 per cent and 4 per
cent interest was charged on the 70
per cent loan. The United States
Conference of Mayors and city officials
had insisted very few had the borrow
ing capacity to participate on this
basis.
Meanwhile, BOT new administrative
jobs awaited filling by Progress Direc-
tor Harry L. Hopkins. He announced
the carving of the country into that
many districts to aid in carrying on
what he calls the direct line" re-
SponSibility down to individual pro-
jects.
The District of Columbia, Hopkins
announced today, will constitute a
separate and distinct work-relief dis
trict. The local administrator is yet
to be named.
Hopkins Importance Emphasized.
The district directors will report to
State grogress administrators, who in
turn will be responsible to Hopkins.
Their duties in observing the progress
OF projects, investigating wages and
working conditions and making GER
tain that those employed came from
relief rolls served to emphasize the i'm
portance of Hopkins position in the
works set-up.
On their investigation of wages
probably will depend any decision of
Hopkins permitting him to increase
pay 10 per cent above the schedule
made public earlier in the week. a
schedule which brought heated pro-
tests from labor leaders.
The theory behind the Presidents
action on grants was that by reducing
the amount required to be paid back
to the Federal Government and also
trimming the interest payments on
this principal, municipalities and other
governmental subdivisions would be
encouraged to accept a grant for the
partial cost of a project rather than
asking for 100 per cent grant.
One result expected was the wider
use Of the work fund In placing the
jobless, and at the same time provid-
ing for repayment to the Federal
Government of that part of the money
allotted as loans.
In his statement setting up districts
in the 48 States, fixing their head
quarters, seeking to equaliZe the num-
Der on relief in each, and charging
officials with responsibility for dis
tributing funds and settling wage dis
putes and with receiving applications
for local projects. Hopkins said:

A unique combination of in
struments will play Brahms
famous Lullaby" tonight at
8 o'clock when the Marine Band,
under the direction of Capt. Tay-
lor Branson, gives a concert on
the parade grounds of the Marine
Barracks. Two comets, two from
bones, a baritone horn ard a harp
will play this piece, the theme of
which is shown above.
Some may think it strange that
brass instruments should play a
lullaby: but brass instruments
may play as softly as any string
instrument and approach the
human voice in tone quality.
Because the brass instruments
are also capable of loud effects,
they are usually held in reserve
IN the symphony orchestra for
such occasions and consequently
their capabilities for playing
softer passages have been sadly
neglected.
0AAAAAS' ike many Other noted
composers, chose to write a lullaby
after his fame was assured. This
lullaby is simple and dignified
and is in the usual triple rhythm.
Probably the most popular ar
rangement of this piece, aside
from the vocal solo arrangement,
is that for male voices in quartet
form. The following words are
used with the tune:
Lullaby and good night, with
roses bedight,
With lilies bedecked is baby's wee
bed;
Lay thee down now and rest, may
thy Slumber be blest,
Lay thee down now and rest, may
thy Slumber be best"

today and that there be no special
birthday dinner.

orders and smiled; so did the
butcher. the baker, and the
candlestick maker. They all
smiled and they all disregarded
the orders. A ninety-sixth birtha
day, they reasoned, is not a time
for unadorned simplicity.
Huge Cake Baked
The cook prepared q chicken,
one of John DIS favorite dishes;
the baker made q cake, a huge
cake, white frosted. How huge
can be imagined when it is remem-
bered that 96 candles are atop it.

GEORGIA LOSES

international News Service

The proposal of Senator George
cd of Georgia to place Federal
inspectors over Georgia highway
projects in an effort to straighten
out the controversy between the
State highway department and
the Bureau of Public Roads was
rejected today.
The proposal was turned down
in a letter from Thomas H. Mac
Donald, chief of the Bureau OF
Public Roads, in reply to Senator
Georges letter attempting to re-
lease $3.50 600 of Federal highway
funds allotted to the State.
The funds are being held UP by
the bureau pending Governor Tai
madge'S reaction to the bureau
demand that he reorganlze MS
highway department to comply
with Federal regulations.
Scores State Board
Mr.. Macdonald refused to make
the Georgia case an exception 10
the general rules laid down to
States receiving Federal highway
funds. He said:
This bureau is making no
attempt to extend its authority
beyond the law and has adopted
no attitude or requirement In
Georgia that is not applied in
its operations in all Of the
States"
Mr.. Macdonald charged that
the State highway board has
refused tc submit a program OF
projects to be built under the
balance of the 1885 funds lin &C.
cordance with the stipulations
under which the first program
was approved"
He added that the State high
way board has no authority to
initiate projects until the pro-
gram has been approved by Fed
eral authorities.
"The State highway board
Of Georgia is confusing the
legal right Of the State to
initiate projects concerning
which there is no question with
the authority to determine the
program Of projects to be
built"

. Mr.. Macdonald said also that
the State highway board is un-
able to cope with the Georgia
State program. He added:
"The amount of work in
which the Federal Government
IS participating in Georgia since
these difficulties become acute
is a very small part of the
tremendous program for which
funds have been made avail
able and the engineering organ
fZatiOn of the board (State
bOardD is wholly inadequate to
carry on so large an under
taking"
Referring specifically to
Georges suggestion, IAr. Mac.
