COURT SPEED ASKED ,

Garnett May Seek Additional
Judge for Trial Of Criminal
Cases.

As a result Of the crowded condition
Of the jail, United States Attorney
Leslie c. Garnett may ask for the
temporary assignment of an additional
Judge to the trial of criminal cases in
District Supreme Court, he revealed
yesterday.
IF, after a week or two" he de-
clared, the number Of persons in
Jail awaiting court action is not ma
terially reduced, I probably will ask
for an additional judge until the jail
condition is relieved.
Under normal circumstances two
District Supreme Court justices are
assigned to the criminal divisions Of
the court. Last Spring, however, the
services of a third judge were required
to clean up the docket in time for the
Summer recess.
When the courts adjourned last
June only eight persons under indict-
ment and awaiting trial were in the
Jail. BY the beginning Of the Fall
term this number had increased to
1863. In addition, the Jail housed 40
persons awaiting grand jury action,
81 awaiting arraignment and 56

Works Progress officials yesterday
cited the situation in Virginia as en-
phasizing the tremendous response

imposed on State administrators in
selecting the works projects which &C.
tually are to be undertaken in their
respective States.
In allooating $3.s7o,000 yesterday for
the continuance Of the w. p. A. pro-
grams in Virginia. ofiicials said the
President forwarded to Richmond
Ss,494,073 in approved types" Of
projects previously submitted. from
which the State administrator is to
make his choice.
Recently Federal Administrator
i Harry L. Hopkins served notice on all
States that w. P. A. had. obtained
presidential approval of twice as many
projects as there is money to pay for.
I AS a result, he warned, selections must
be made by the State administrators.
= With practically every community
(which submitted a project clamoring
for recognition and funds, officials
here cited the difficulties of the Vir-
ginia administrator, who to date has
only $s,235,255 to spread over projects
approved by the President, totaling
S19,695,51o. The total includes the
amount allocated yesterday.
z Unless the President gives the Works
Progress Administration additional
funds from the reserves of other agen-
cies to speed a tagging program, about
one-hah of the communities in each
State will suffer disappointment in
the final ALLEGATION Of projects.

throughout the balance Of this fiscal
year, would be- considerably lower
than for the previous IL months.
In the last fiscal year 29,470 immi-

What is more, Mai. Gen. Benjamin

Although the Baker Aviation Com

recommended an aerial armada Of
2,50o planes for the Army, Foulois
declared lack Of appropriations will
permit only an air force of half
strength for at least two more years.
IAN air force cannot be improvised
after an emergency arrives Foulois
asserted, "any more than q navy can
be built after war begins. The air
force, like the Navy. should be built
up and maintained at full war strength
at all times.
Must Save Dollars.
unfortunately, the days Of myths
are past, and we have no Cadmus

beginning November was named yes
terday as the aim Of Harry L. Hop
kins' Works Progress Administration,
the ma:ustay of the work-rehef pro-
gram.
High officials estimated that $500
of Federal funds would be the average
w. P. A. expenditure per job to carry
the program up to July /. On that
date, In contrast to an estimated
5000, 100000 still unspent by slower
moving agencies engaged on heavy
construction, they said w. P. AS en-
tire sl,25o, 100000 would be spent.
Although the remaining ssoo,ooo.-
900. mostly highway. grade-crossing
elimination and rivers and haroors
construction, will continue to provide
some employment. officials acknowl-
edged that after July /, aid for per-
haps two-thirds of around 3,50o,000
needy individuals and families would
depend on new appropriation.
nEuuCtAUH kACiu 1mpIUUdUtSs
Little chance to reduce the present
relief load was seen by some officials
because business unemployment was
expected to 20 first to those not on
relief. Transfer of unemployable
families to the care OF States and
communities, to be completed with
liquidation Of the Relief Administra-
ton, has played large part in re-
duced relief figures.
What form the new relief pro-
gram will take was understood here
to be under discussion by President
Roosevelt as he cruised In the Pacific
with Hopkins and Secretary 1ckes.
Oficial figures showed yesterday
that 400 900 are employed on "emer-
gency work" financed by Hopkins
Relief Administration. Those in
charge said virtually all of these would
be transferred to w. p. A. projects
many combinations Of work now un-
der way-by November /.
- 2,500,00O Figure Average.
Adding these to the 1,126,234 now
on work relief jobs would give an
employment of 2,526,234. Hopkins re-
Gently revised his prediction that the
entire 3,500,000 would be at work on
November /, but 625,000 more jobs
are necessary to attain the reduced
e,l50,000 goal
Officials emphasized that w. p. AS
s,5o0, 900 jobs was an average, not a
uniform employment figure. The re-
lief population is heavier in Winter
than In Summer and other agencies,
while expected to get under full way
in three or four months, probably
will drop some workers because Of
construction schedules.

Citizens Regulations Are
Well Enforced.

The large ratio Of automobiles to
the population in the District gives
the impression OF lack Of traffic en-
forcement. Inspector Benjamin Lamb
Of the Traffic Bureau told the Logan
Thomas Circle Citizens Association
at its meeting last night.
According to the inspector some
10 900 traffic arrests were made here
last year. This, he asserted, compares
favorably with the arrests made in
other cities. The traffic official told
the association that there Is approx
mately one automobile for every two
and one-half people. a much higher
ratio than any other comparable city
In his talk the inspector blamed
many Of the accidents on the fact
that there Is too much speed for exist
ing conditions. The members were ad-
vised to drive not only 100 per cent
perfect. but even better, so that they
could watch out for the other fellow.
