Much Hardness

There has been quite a lot Of tar
diness and it is possible that the
parents do not have the new time
schedule Strengthened out. School is
called in the morning at 8::45 o'clock
and at noon at 1890. It is hoped
that the parents will try to have
their children to school on time as
it disturbs the rooms to have pupils
coming in late.

Hitler Assails League

GOebbelS on Air
At noon, DR.. Paul Joseph Goeb-

nationwide radio broadcast, in
which he paid high tribute to Der
Fuhrer. Contrary to the expecta.
ton of many, DR.. Goebbels failed
to mention the League of Nations
censure of German rearmament
this week.
Goebbels' only mention of for
eign affairs was a comment upon
Hitler'S skill" in conducting nego.
tiations following the world star,
ting announcement of German
CONSUMPTION in March. He said:
"Hitler is fanatically obSessed
by his mission. He has sacrificed
a fortune and his private life
for it. Often in the small circle
of his cofighters it is said, 1T
will be terrible when some day
the first of us dies, and a place
which cannot be filled again be-
comes vacant"
Foreign diplomats, among them
American Ambassador William E
Dodd. congratulated Hitler during

AMERICAN BANK
SALE SOUGHT

Authorization for the sale of
the old American Bank building,
1900 block F. st. N. w., at a price
of $45O,000 is being sought by
Garry A. Hardee, receiver Of the
Professionalism National Bank
and Trust Company, owner of
the property.
The offer was made through
the real estate firm of Shannon
& Luchs on behalf of Martin w.
Meyer. At the receivers office it
was said no one had seen or
talked with Mr.. Meyer, conse-
quently his plans for the future
of the building were unknown
The negotiations for purchase Of
the property have been carried on
through the real estate firm.
A hearing on the request OF
the receiver to sell the property
has been scheduled at the Dis
trict Supreme Court for April 90.

erty is received before that time,
it is expected that the receivers

France Acts to Clear
Hitch in Soviet Pact

PARIS, April 20 G.NS).
Frances fears she may lose the
guarantees provided by the Lo-
carno pact are responsible for
the hitch in negotiations for a
Franco.Soviet mutual assistance
agreement. it was learned today.
Since the tentative agreement
calls for immediate assistance in
the event either signatory is at
tackled, France might be obliged
to attack through the demiitar-
lied Rhineland zone should the
Reich attack Soviet Russia.
In this event, Britain would be
likely to claim France surrenders
the Locarno guarantees automat-
ically.
Foreign Minister Laval is max
ing strenuous efforts to adjust
the difficulty and to preserve
the British guarantee.

WORKS DELAY.
PUZZL|NG To.
OFFICIALS
Generally Expected Projects
Would Start Immediately
Under Huge Fund
BY EARL GOODWIN

There is a mystery concerning
the delay in the Presidents work.
relief program which is pulling
officials even in the inner circles.
There was a general feeling that
"dirt would be flying" on large
number of new projects as soon as
the President had signed the 81.
$50, 900, 900 bill.
There Is reason to believe that
had not something unforeseen &C.
Cured, work would have been un-
der way by now. as both major
divisions Of the antidepression
army had plans, projects, theories
and rules, and were all set to go
with loud blast of the trumpets.
Hopkins Plans Ready
Harry Hopkins, whose views of
social problems are close to those
of the President, had almost
perfect picture of the skill and
capabilities of the employable men
and women on the relief rolls. He
had also worked out a large num-
Der of rural rehabilitation projects
and similar ideas; and members
of his washington staff were
ready to step out into the field to
vitalize these works and get the
program started. -.
There can be no doubt that, if
left alone, Harry Hopkins could
have started a vast amount OF
work on the day the big Work'reIlet
appropriation became legal by the
Presidents signature to the bill.
Official Split Reported
But something happened. OBJ
servers who like to find differen-
ces of opinion and disSensionS
among the New Dealers said there
had been a headon collision be-
tween MeSsrs. Hopkins and 1ckes.
Friends of Mr.. Ickes resent OBJ
structionist' insinuationS, declar-
ing much Of the delay in the pub
lie works program has been neceS'
sary because of legal difficulties in
the acquisition of thousands of sep
arate parcels of land and in the
maze of legal and departmental
limitations on the spending Of
money. Some people call 1t red
tape.
There is another slant on Mr..
Ickes' attitude toward the new
program. The Federal Emergency
Relief outfit appeared to be fired
with a humane enthusiasm to get
people to work Immediately. From
Mr.. Ickes came the suggestion that
there was too much humanity and
to little return to the Government
in the Hopkins program.
Personalities Clash
Here the innate liberality in MI.
Hopkins clashed against the
Scotch thrift in Mr.. Ickes plus the
adamant qualities of the legal
mind of a large organization OF
PWA lawyers who have been
struggling with property law, con-
demnation suits, ETC., for nearly
two years.
Close observers of the situation
believe President Roosevelt has
been impressed with some of the
extremely practical matters un-
folded to him by Mr.. 1ckes, which
has had the result of changing the
plans as they were believed to have
existed.

An Hour

It wasn't a wood whistle, but
it would whistle. It whistled on
a B. g. o. local passenger train
that came into Union Station
at $40 this morning from Bal
timore. And how it whistled!
The whistle valve stuck and,
despite every effort to shut it
off, it kept whistling.
Passengers closed their ears
and rushed out of the station.
Then the engine was run down
in the yards-still whiStling.
Finally the whistle was stilled,
after blowing for almost an
hour.
Meanwhile. telephones at po-
lice headquarters and in news
paper offices were swamped
with calls wanting to know what
all the noise was about.
