AN INVENTORY OF
PROGRESS TAKEN
BY PRESIDENT
Meets Recovery Experts
in Conference = Ickes,
Hopkins Affair Ignored
By FREDERICK A. STORM
united Press White House
CORRESPONDENCE

Hyde Park, N. Y, Sept. H.
(UP)-An inventory of progress
under his 1880, 100000 works re-
lief program was taken today by
President Roosevelt. He met with
administration recovery experts in
a conference designed to add fur
Their impetus to unemployment of
the nations idle.
Anxious to have dirt flying on
every project by Dec. Is, Mr..
Roosevelt scanned with Frank
Walker, emergency council chair
man, Secretary Harold L. Ickes,
Harry Hopkins and others, steps
that contemplate a re-allocation of
funds in some instances to bring
swift results.
Make Light of 1t
The meeting at the summer
White House was held in what OBJ
servers regarded tense atmos-
phere despite reports to the con-
trary. They pointed to differences
between Ickes and Hopkins grow
ing out Of the latter's rejection of
1000 PWA projects as definite
hurdle the chief executive would
have to clear in order to produce a
harmonious and smooth running
machine capable of reaching its
objective.
In oficial circles there was the
disposition to make light of the
Ickes-Hopkins row. The president
observed he had read three ac-
counts of it and none was the
same. Ickes laughed away reports
he was ready to quit. Hopkins
was not available.
The session today, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, was arranged two weeks ago
and was not inspired by any differ
ences of opinion on the part of
those charged with the task of car
rying forward the program.
Checking Up Process
He described it as checking
up process-of getting figures
synchronized and determining just
how much is left of the $4,880,000,-
600; what sums can be reallocated
from those already earmarked but
which obviously cannot be used up
in the time fixed for expenditure
and in a general survey of WPA
and PWA programs.
Mr.. 'Roosevelts observations
were given in a discussion. with
newspapermen in which he re-
marked in reply to question
standards that even with immedi-
ate resumption of 1929 production,
only 80 per cent of the 1929 man
power, would be required.

A rabbits foot in it's hand, salt
on the ground behind Its left
shoulder, and it's fingers crossed,
Waterbury was all ready to greet
the arrival of hoodoos, jinxes
and bad luck in general to-mor-
row-Friday, the 18th.
The inquisitive reporter went
about the city to-day, hoping to
find out just how Waterburians
awaited the coming of Friday
the 18th. On Bank street. he
stopped a man in his early thir-
! ties who had just gotten out OF
his car.
"Are you afraid of Friday the
13th?" he was asked.
"Naw," he said, mot at all;
mean only a little. OF course 1
won't walk under ladder and
wouldn't like to see a black cat
cross my path but I'm not afraid
Of Friday the 18TH"
Another man was halted in
Exchange Place.
Friday the 18th is just an
other day to me-" he boosted. II
always put my left shoe on first
anyway, and I always walk
around lamp-posts, so don't
have to worry"
Seeing an unusual ring on the
mans finger, the reporter asked
him what 1t was.
THAT" he answered modestly
IS a good-luck snake ring.
bought it from mail order
house for two dollars. Purity,
amt it?"
mo, it isn't" said the news
man and walked away.
BY this time, the reporter was
getting little tired of the whole
business and he resolved to ask
only one more person about Fri
day the 18th. This one, he de-
cided, would be a woman, and
she'd probably be sensible and
not superstitious.
He halted one as she tripped
through the Green.

CRIMINAL ROUNDUP
Detained Under Law Making II
illegal to congrsgats In
Public Places

New York. Feb. 8.-(ReOne Of the
most intensive crime roundups carried
on by police in recent years resulted
Friday in the detention Of approxi-
mately 400 persons.
They were rounded up in pool rooms,
restaurants and on street corners as
the police brought them in under the
law which makes It 4 crime for men
with criminal records to congregate
in public places.
So great was the rush that police
headquarters was soon swamped and
the prisoners were taken to precinct
stations.
Tho purpose Of the roundup was
not announced, but 1t was believed to
be demonstration Of the ineffective
ness Of section 722 Of the state penal
code under which It must b proved
that the prisoners copyrighted for IN
illegal purpose"
In previous roundups. II was said,
the majority Of prisoners had 70 -
released because police had No pg11
they gathered Tor IN illegal puTpooo.
Il was Indicated that II the majority
Of those rounded up In the present
drive were released BY the courts, the
authorities would have IN effective
argument to present to the Legislature
In favor Of tightening The law.
The prisoners were ordered placed
in the police lineup Friday - that
detectives and other police officers
could study them.
Most Of those under arrest were
picked up In Manhattan and the
Bronx. AZ least 8 were p6cksd -
lin Brooklyn.
