STATEFACESCURTAILMENT
OF P.W.A. WORK FUNDS
Maryland Has More Jobs Than
Men Available-MOney May
Be Transferred
1000 WOULD BE AFFECTED

Possibility cut to provide work only
for those employed on it or registered
with the National Unemployment Ser
vice on November %, lowered over the
troubled relief waters at headquarters
in Baltimore on Monday.
Other relief developments of the
day were:
Baltimore City police were asked to
investigate all families receiving re-
lief.
WPA workers in Ailegany county
who left their jobs three weeks ago
began work on other county work-re-
lief projects.
An investigation was launched into
reported efforts to get unemployed
men to register for direct relief, in or
der to qualify for WPA jobs.
The possibility of cut in the Mary
land program was made public by
Francis H. Dryden, state WPA head.
The cut would materially change the
relief situation and would affect about
1000 persons now on relief rolls.
Heretofore the WPA program has
been considered as capable of alb
sorbing all of Maryland's able-bodied
unemployed. The cut would rigidly re-
strict the number who might be en-
ployed., Those who We're not working
or ready to work would remain a re-
sponsibility of the State. And those
who were cut off of direct relief on
December l would not be able to find
WPA jobs.
Would Affect 1000 Workers
Of the 1000 who would be directly
affected, 1000 are in the counties,
and about the same number in Balti-
more City. They are not considered
as available for work, because they are
not on the MRS rolls, from which all
WPA workers must come. Some of
them have never registered with the
MRS, others have failed to report
when ordered to jobs. In either case,
they are not now on the rolls.
H. Norman Melbourne, Jr., Balti-
more manager of the MRS, said that
there are about 2,100 persons in the
city who are receiving relief but are
not on the rolls. Some of these, how
ever, may be unemployables.
From Washington it was learned
that q runohpr of states are asking
that they be allowed to employ more
men than were originally allotted to
them. Maryland is in the position at
present of having more jobs than
there are men available. If the job
quota of other states is increased, it
means that their money allotment
must also be increased, which may re-
duce the amount of money originally
allotted to states which do not have
enough men.
The Baltimore investigation of re-
lief clients was ordered by j. Cook
man Boyd, chairman of the new state
survey commission This body has the
duty of investigating relief admins
tration. Unofficially, authorities said
that each policeman would be given a
list of the relief clients on his beat.
He would then check to see if any of
those receiving relief money had pri-
vate jobs, or if there were any other
irregularity.

Millions of Dollars With held from Govern
 ment Agencies

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. The filibuster of Senator Huey P. Long in the Senate last night is held responsible for withholding mil- lions of dollars needed for the Ad- ministration's Social Security Act. These funds are contained in the deficiency measure.
 Senator Long contended he was fighting for principle and as- serted the House had been denied a vote on the Senates cotton and wheat loan amendments.
 The major items lost by Longs filibuster include the following:
 Social Security Act--$76, ,000, 900.
 Railroad pensions-$6 $500 .000.

 Be Memorable

 The session saw the enactment of the Work Relief Bill, the largest appropriation of all time; Social Security Act, Neutrality Policy, bank bill, amendments strengthening the AAA and the IVA, quarter of a billion tax bill. utilities regulations and list of other major acts.
 The session also saw the courts strike down the New Deal experi- ment No. 1, the MIRA, which is sure to echo in the next campaign.
 Huge Appropriations
 Expenditures authorized durin g the session totaled some ten and quarter billion dolltrs.
 Senator Joseph T. Robinson. Floor leader for the Democrats, said the achievements for the session will be memorable as pract ic ally every problem touching human interest has been made easier of solution by legislation enacted.
 T think 1t can be truly said that Congress has done its part to carry on through a grave crisis" said Senator Robinson.
 Oh, Hum.
 Senator L. J. Dickinson, Republi- can of Iowa, said the first session of the Seventy Fourth Congress will be remembered for ill-advised leg islation, extravagant appropriations and four billion dollars for work re- lief waste. No congress in American history has made such record This record was made under the di- rection of the President. Congress Initiated nothing.

AUTO INDUSTRY LEADER PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY
John N. Willys Dies at Summer Home Follow
 ing Heart Attack

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-John N. Willys, aged 6l, one of the leaders in the auto industry is dead at his summer home in the Bronx following a sudden attack of the heart.
 By taking a chance with an auto mobile company which was about to go into receivership, John North Willys started a business success which brought him into prominence in varied lines.
 Is Ambassador
 His financial rise was coincident- al with growth of Americas inn portance as an exporter of auto mobiles, leading him into activity which put him in touch with Euro pean problems and resulted ulti- mately in his being named Ambas- sador to Poland by President Hoov- CT. He was the first American diplomat to hold that rank in Warsaw, the United States having maintained only legation there |up to 1880.
 MT. Willys showed his faith in the then infant automobile indus try when, in 1907, he took over the Overland company, reorganized it as the Willys-O Overland Company and started manufacturing and selling campaign which made him one of the leaders of the industry for nearly a quarter of a century.
 Shrewd as Boy Innate business ability began to manifest itself in MT Willys when he was a boy. It was told of him that he was fond of negotiating little deals with his companions at an age when most boys are think ing of games and sports. Foresight was another thing that he acquired to a marked degree and as grow ing youth he eyed the bicycle, just coming into popularity, as a profit able outlet for ms Selllng ln- genuity.
 At the age of IS, MT. Willys had organized a bicycle sales company at Elmira, N. Y. In seven years he had worked up large wholesale distribution business with gross sales of approximately s5O0,O00 a year.
 "Ad" Starts Something About that time he saw an ad- vertisement in a newspaper seeking some one to handle the product of the Overland Company of Indian apolis. The Overland was four cylinder automobile, in advance of the two-cylinder then in general use. The company had been in iContinlIed on 2apa Thraal

Beach Has .PIan to Double Population in Alaska, Also
 Aid for Hardy Prospectors

A plan whereby to double the population of Alaska, and at the same time materially assist in the development of the vast mineral re- sources of the country, was pro- pounded by Rex Beach today in a special interview to The Empire.
 The plan, which has already att tracted the attention of various per- sons interested in territorial de- velopment, is the product of MT Beach's visit to the Interior, and is in direct sequence to his Matanus- ka statement released Saturday by the Associated Press:
 "Too much conservation of
 Alaskan resources, and an ab-
 sence of governmental aid for
 the individual mining prospec-
 tor. are the twin evils regard
 ing the growth of the North
 land"
 Briefly stated, MT. Beach's plan would combine the proposed Alaskan Army Air base, the recent Federal mineral development appropriations and the National Youth Admins tration movement. in two- birds with-one-stone attempt to supply both a subsistence for the lost gen eration" and speedy development of Alaskan mineral deposits. Prospector Hampered
 "The great difficulty of the inde- pendent prospector is that he has no money to develop his claim after he gets it. said MT. Beach in ex- blaming his plan. Because of this difficulty. prospectors are becoming fewer and fewer. Most of the old time proSpectors have either quit the game or are unable to proceed for lack of a grubstake. It is the old difficulty of creating capital for the development of new project. As a result, great mineral deposits lie untouched and undeveloped
 Simultaneously. MT. Beach point ed out, a generation of college youth is laundering for an economic foot hold Thousands of people are on relief in the States who might oth- erwise be employed in these Alaska mines.
 Subsistence Project
 Why is 1t not a splendid idea to set up a subsistence project, con- templating the organization of units made up, say. of one experienced Alaskan prospector and three or four young college graduates, to search for mineral deposits?" asked MT. Beach. They could be grub staked through revolving govern ment fund, which would operate on Ia scale to the Matanuska project, utilizing no more money, but pro- yiding employment for 200O instead of 200-indeed, for 10000, for every mine that is opened will give em- ployment to hundreds of workers"
 MT. Beach visualizes the utiliza- tion of the proposed Army Air Base in Alaska mineral development. In this respect, he would suggest that we follow the example of Canada, who in the last few years has done
