 The president said he hoped the entire fund would not have to Do used.
 Mr Roosevelt revealed that considerable attention was being given to what is admitted to he the difficult problem of the white col lar worker. He said the situation was a serious one and considerable study was being given 1t in order that Q place could be found for such people now on the relief rolls.

Tho regional boards would apply, oh- servers believed, to such big proc jects as rivers and flood control such as is How being done in .he Mississippi valley.

Dynamite Bottled Up

There's a sensational report On MT Mellons aluminium industry bottled up in MIRA. It doubtless will stay bottled until Congress disposes of NIsA legislation, as there's a desire in high places to rock no boats.
 The report has mostly to do with charges of monopoly.
 After the aluminium code had been cancelled except as for labor provisions as a result of the 'Alu- minum Company's reluctance to file prices and otherwise expose financial information, a majorit" of the MIRA governing board voted to bring out the report.
 Intervention from above caused the switch of a vote which meant at least temporary suppression or the document,

Mayor Hayes at Hearing
 Mayor Frank Hayes and other Waterbury officials were appearing this afternoon before the commit tee on judiciary, committee in sup- port of a bill introduced by Sem ator George T, Culhane calling for the raising of>a a commission to investigate the doings of the state emergency relief administration.
 Mayor Hayes claims that the city has been discriminatcd against by the emergency relief commission in the handing out of grants of money from federal relief funds sent into the state. Waterbury's mutual aid disbursement have not been figured in on the amount of money expended for relief work. Only the expenses of the city pub- lie welfare department have been taken into consideration by the commission. This ia highly un- fair, 1t is claimed. William M. Har- ris, chairman of the Waterbury Mutual Aid, was also on hand to support the Culhane measure, The commission. appointed by the president of the senate, Lieutenant- Governor Hayes, would have pow CT to subpoena records of tlle em- ergency relief commission anj question the heads of that admin istration as to their handling of federal relief money.
