been released for cellular retaining
walls of steel sheet piling to be
driven on the BANKS of the Miss
ouri River near the dam, it is an
nounced by the District Office Of
the Army Engineers at Fort Peck
Montana. Bids will be opened in
Kansas City on May 81. 1885
The steel walls will serve to hold
the slopes of the core of the dam
in place and to assist in preventing
erosion during the period prior to
closing the dam, now planned for
1887,
This construction is divided into
two priorities and may be consi-
dered as two separate jobs of work.
Priority 1 consists of two walls,
one on each side of the river, des-
ienated lower walls, to be con-
structed at the food plain level,
Also included iu this priority are
2 short sections of straight wall on
each side of the river channel ap-
proximately 80 feet from the cen
terline of the upstream toe of the
dam. These sections are for the
protection of the river ends of the
upstream gravel toe. The second
priority consists of two walls. SINH
liar to those included in the first
priority, but located farther back
from the river and therefore at a
elevation. These upper
walls" may not be constructed
depending upon future conditions.
Since the walls are being placed
fot the primary purpose of retain
ing the fill, the cellular type of
construction has been adopted. For
the lower wall. each cell will have
approximate dimensions of 81 dy
30 feet, whereas in the upper
the design calls for cells 90
by Is feet Lengths of piling vary
from As to 1l2 feet. For the
greater portion Of the work. straight
web type piling will be used. only
a small amount of the arch web
type being required.
While the worg has been divid.
ed into a number of bid items.
The furnishing and driving Of steel
sheet piling is bv far the largest,
335, 900 square feet being required
or priority one and 100000 square
'eet for the second priority. Small
amounts of structural timber, con |
crete, wooden piling and hardware
are included.
The output Of Government
lredging units has been increased

WASHINGTON. Dec. ia con-
gressional drive 10 clear the coun-
try OF aliens as a means OF solving
the unemployment problem was an
nounced today by Representative
Martin Dies ID, Tex, who said he
would file a petition to force a
House vote in January on his pro-
gram.
He estimated more than 5000 900
alien workers now are in the United
States His bill would stop all new
immigration. deport all aliens lille
gally in America and all aliens legal
~ here who refuse to become cit
liens.
Il believe on the basis Of broad
investigation / have made that
three -fourths of our unemployment
problem can be traced to the alien
situation Mr.. Dies said. The
number of aliens who should be de-
ported total three-fourths Of the
Al'VJutVuu JODltSA.
Mr. Dies has been campaigning
for years to cut down immigration
He has led House fights in this field
constantly.
5000 400 Aliens Here
My bill would permit only a 40
per cent exemption from present
quotas for the sole purpose of re-
uniting families" he said. There
now are 100000 aliens in this
country exclusive Of those illegally
here They should be required
either to become citizens in rea-
sonabe time or be deported
One can only guess at the num-
Der OF those illegally here. There
are only 900 men to protect our
borders. Last year II airplanes used
in smuggling aliens were captured
There also Is widespread evidence Of
deserving Seamen. Any alien who
wants to come in here illegally can
do so because Of racketeers and our
long borders.
Also recall that 100000 900 a
year Is sent back to their home
lands by aliens in this country. We
can solve the unemployment prob
lem in this way alone and I intend
To call on the Administration to take
definite stand in this respect"

MAYOR DEF|ES
HUEY, REFUSES
To RESIGN
Round Robin of Ward Leaders,
Asking He Quit, Spurned
BY WaImSIey

NEW ORLEANS, La, July IL
GNSO.-A round robin petition
formally demanding the resigna-
ton of Mayor T. Semmes Vain
sley, presented at a caucus of the
once-powerful old regulars today,
brought a laundering "No" from
Walmsley, who declared:
II shall stick by my pledge
to the people of New Orleans"
Walmsley's resignation would
have completed Senator Huey P.
Longs conquest of the city of New
Orleans, as today State Senator
Charles A. Byrne, a Long adher-
ent, took over the district attor-
ney's office after the resignation
of Eugene Stanley.
Ward Leaders Shift
The round robineerS who asked
for Walmsley'S resignation were
the same ward leaders who in
1884 nominated him as their can
didate for mayor on a platform
which called for the complete
elimination of Senator Huey P,
Long"
That platform has had boom
eerang effects, however, as Sen
ator Long, using a State legiS-
lature, has delivered blow after
blow at the municipal govern
ment, reducing it to insignifi-
canoe.
1t was understood that the
petition of the old regulars had
been demanded by Long if there
was to be any peace between his
powerful State machine and that
of the old regulars.
Stanley said today he now is
going to give himself up to the
task of restoring constitutional
government in Louisiana"
Victim of Huey
Stanley, as Walmsley, has been
the victim of a whitening blast
from State legislature as dictated
by Senator Long. One Of the
latest acts o fthat body took
away from Stanley the right even
to fire or hire the clerical help
in his own office.
Speaking of the legislature,
Stanley declared:
ut strips me of every power
previously possessed, and strips
me of the powers now possessed
by every district attorney in
the State and country"
Senator Longs opposition to
Stanley came when the district
attorney doggedly secut e d

who had been charged with
fraud. A recount of the ballots
had shown a difference of some

Both measures were assailed by
enemies as unconstitutional. The
AAA amendments, giving broad
powers to Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace over crop control policies,
were before the Senate for consid-

resolution outlawing suits against
the Government in connection
with the recent dollar devaluation
was before the Senate Banking
Committee.

Democrats were chiefly behind
the attack on the gold resolution.
Two former Secretaries of the
Treasury, Senators Glass, of Vir-
GINA, and McAdoo, of California,

Cummings with caustic questions
when he appeared before the
Banking Committee to support the
resolution.

amendments. Senators Borah of
