RELIEF v D RK
IN D. {. HELD
PRACTICAL
Projects All of Lasting Benefit
and No "TomtooIery," Ayers
General Manager Here

Take it from William C. Cleary,
there is no "tomfoolery" in the
expenditure of Washington relief
funds.
Every local relief project, avows
Mr.. Cleary, who is general mana
ger of the works division of the
Emergency Relief Administration,
is practical and of lasting benefit
to the Capital. Mr.. Cleary proudly
enumerates the projects coming
within the purview of his office.
In New York relief funds are
being spent on such projects as
"boon- doggling," a euphemism for
gadget making, and on eurythmic
dancing.
Traffic Surveyed
But in Washington, Mr.. Cleary
says, there is not a single project
that could even remotely tickle
the visibility. Of course, he adds,
there are what appear to the lay
man to be mysterious and waste
full surveys.
Those men seen standing on
corners, writing gingerly as auto
mobiles whiz by, are really per
forming a public service, in the
opinion of Mr.. Cleary. AS re-
suit of these studies Traffic Di-
rector Van Duzer has been able
to improve traffic conditions, he
claimed.
Practical Projects
The bulk of the relief work
here consists of road paving, park
rehabilitation, playground con-
struction and departmental work,
he explained, although IA artists
are engaged in painting murals in
school and other municipal build
ingS.
AS a sample of the practically
of the projects chosen by the
local relief administration, Mr..
Cleary pointed to the current
work in the office of the recorder
of deeds. There $50 colored men
and women, all clerical. trained,
are tranScribing old records and
repairing timeworn books. This
work alone, Mr.. Cleary estimates,
is saving the District Govern
ment approximately $4,000 a
year, for if the relief workers
were not doing it regular en-
ployes would have to be hired.

Would Be Committed If
Son Is Executed

A pardon from Governor Her.
bert H. Lehman, of New York,
will be sought for Newman H. Ray
mond, jr., sentenced to die in the
electric chair on May 10 in con-
nection with the murder of New
York city policeman, the boys
father, Major Newman H. Ray
mond, of Alexandria, Va, revealed
today in an exclusive statement
t. The Washington Times.
Major Raymond, who is in the
construction business in Alex
andria, is retired Army officer.
He said that the death sentence
will be appealed to higher court,
but that he has little hope Tor
reversal of the decree.
Hopes For Appeal
He declared:
"The case is in the process of
appeal but with little hope of
reversal. We do, however,
hope and expect that at the
proper time the Governor will
patiently consider the whole
matter"
Young Raymond was in the com.
pany of three other men when the
shooting occurred in the course of
holdup, his father said. One of
the men confessed to the killing.
Although Raymond was armed, the
weapon was found not to have
been fired.
Major Raymond indicated that
he hoped to convince Governor
Lehman that it would be an in
justice to electrocute the three
men who participated in the rob.
berry, but not in the killing.
Horror Increased
He said:
eff the State goes forward
with the execution, some day
during the week beginning May
Is, in place of one man being
dead on a store floor, there
will be four young men dead ON
the floor of the execution
chamber, three of whom are
innocent Of any intent to kill
much less guilty of having
killed. The more you stress the
horror of the death of the Of.
ficer, the more you magnify the
appalling horror of the State
taking the lives of three boys
not guilty of murder in any
degree"
Major Raymond said that he is
working for the change of sentence
of not only his son, but of the
sentences of the two other men
facing death and not guilty of the
shooting.

Senator william H. King CD of

District Committee, reiterating
statements made before the House
committee yesterday.
In the letter Mr.. Roberts de-
cla1es the boiler inspection clauses

measure contains no test for the
capacity of its inspectors.
Since the legislation is con-
sidered highly controversial, the
Senate committee plans no action

To PUSH
D. c. AIRPORT .
IN CONGRESS
Capital Deserves Best Field
Possible, Senator Asserts;
Likes GraVeIIy Point

Washington today was promised
that every effort would be made
before Congress adjourns to gain
congressional authorization for a
municipal airport that will be COM
mensurate with the National Cap
itals Importance.
Senator Ernest W. Gibson (R)
Vermont, who has just returned
from a short trip to his home, said
he would confer with Senator
Harry F. Byrd (DJ, Virginia, the
first of next week to begin a drive
to acquire an airport here as soon
as possible. He said:
II want washington to have q
national airport. I am sorry that
the situation has developed into
what seems to be a real estate
fight.
WANTS BEST AIRPORT
81 think everyone concerned
should get together to give this
city an airport without letting
personal interests count in any
way. I want the best airport we
can get.
cat the present I think
Gravelly Point is best PROPOSE
ton in view, but if find that
there are any personal interests
back of pushing this site or any
other site, 1 want them elimi-
mated.
81 understand that the Wash
ingtOn Airport is too dangerous
for heavy traffic and that
Colonel Lindbergh won't land
because he thinks it's dangerous.
WOULD MAKE SURVEY
"Before go into this matter
thoroughly 1 want to make
personal survey of Gravelly
Point, Benning and any other
place that can be sOundly ad-
vanced.
"When / get all my personal
facts assembled / am going into
the interests that are pushing
these various sites and make
them public and then begin a
drive to put this thing over at
this session"
Senator Gibson said he was
aware that there was a thought
prevalent that if the District
wanted an airport they shoulc
build it themselves, like those
built for other cities. He said he
differed strongly with this theory
on the ground that this city il
unique in it's relation to the coun
try. He believes that the Fedora
Government should have a dis
tinct interest in having air facili
ties at it's Capital and in the clos
est proximity that could be oh

ARMED MEN ROB
TWO STORES

Two liquor stores were held up
last night by robbers, who OBJ
tanned total loot of 1921. Shortly
after the holdups police arrested
three suspects, but released them
after investigation of their alibis.
Three armed men held up Rob-
ert Epstein at his store in the
1900 block North Capitol st. and
robbed him of $162. The men es-
capped in waiting automobile.
Jack Kotz, 1900 block Seven
tenth st. N. w., reported he was
held up in his store by two men,
both armed, who escaped with
$1l9.

Breakfast over, as we began
to read the morning paper, we
heard a barking and a whining
that sounded like an entire dog
pound was coming upon us.
We rushed to the door. Tum-
bling down the back terrace
were Tony, nine brothers and
sisters, coming to call.
In a few minutes, Duchess
came anxiously looking for her
children. She nudged and
barked and cuffed, and finally
got them all across the street.
We helped. It took an hour.
Tony cried when his family
left. I put him on my lap.
But he nipped the typewriter
keys as I tried to write. Now
he is asleep on the back porch.

CROWN IN BIG SIX
ALONE SEWED Up
Coming Classics Will Decide
Championships in Six
Other Sectors.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Staff Writer

N TEW YORK, November 14-Bat-
nj ties for sectional foot bail
crowns are free-for-all con-
tests in three conferences.
while only one major championship
has been clinched.
With the season drawing to a close
and the time for Rose Bowl bid ap-
preaching, the races in the Southeast
ern, Southwest and Western Confer.
ences are wide open.
Nebraska clinched the Big Six crown
last week, but the Cornhuskers we're
beaten by Minnesota and may take
another humping Saturday when they
come East to meet Pittsburgh.
North Cardinals unbeaten Tar Heels
seem to have sewed up the Southern
Conference race. but they still have
to get past Duke this week The situa-
ton is much the same on the Pacific
Coast, where the Golden Bears of Cali
fornia are far in the van.
Michigan Hurdle for Gophers.
MORE will be at stake in the big ten
than the little brown jug when
Michigan faces Minnesota Saturday.
Minnesota shares the conference lead
with Ohio State and needs only the
one game to assure an unbeaten sea-
son, as their final game is with Wis
| consin. Ohio takes on a rather tough
| Illinois team this week and Michigan
the next.
In the Southwest. both Southern
Methodist and Texas Christian are
unbeaten and united, and apparently
nothing can be done about it until
they come together November 80. The
Mustangs play Arkansas and T. c. U.
meets Texas this week.
California, with four coast confer
ence victories, has an "off" day against
College of the Pacific before meeting
Stanford. which now looms as the
Bears most dangerous rival
Colorado University and Denver
| probably will settle the Rocky Noun
tain race on Thanksgiving day. Col.
orado has won four straight confer
ence games and Denver five out Of
six. This week the former faces
Kansas and the latter San Francisco
University.

The chairman then ordered the
doors locked and the stockholders
searched for proxies. Several were
unwilling to stand frisk, but the
search finally uncovered two proxies
signed by Mr.. William Duffy and
Signor Luigi Soresi. The chairman
read them and lifted his hand.
Boys" he said, there is some
good news here. Duffy and Soresi,
who always have had the best inter-
ests of Camembert preferred at heart,
believe they can get Carnera fight
in Philadelphia and another with
Buddy Baer or Ford Smith in Madison
Square Garden. They say that Smith
doesn't care whom he fights. Let's
have three cheers"
The three cheers were obtained
under pressure by a strong-arm squad
from police headquarters, and the
stockholders departed, some of them
on stretchers. Primo was put back
in the safe. The chairman closed
the meeting on a note of optimism.
"Camembert preferred has turned
the corner" he said. Il don't know
which way it went"

Primo Opposes Liquidation.

THE stockholders rose to their feet
in confusion. It was moved and
seconded that Primo be liquidated and
the proceeds divided evenly among the
stockholders. Vote on the motion was
delayed while the treasurer went to
the safe and brought out Primo, who
wore a form-1tting gray suit and a
label marked "4.500 shares outstand-
ing" He was questioned closely by
the chairman
@. Primo, do you want to be liqui-
dated?
A. No. thanks, boss, I'm on the
wagon.
@. How do you feel?
A. Hcngry. I want Neusel for
breakfast again, with sauce Caruso.

instinct?

Chairman. I didn't want to take any
chances with it.
@. Fine. Primo, you can sit down.
You can lay on your back If you feel
more at home that way.
A. Thanks, boss.
The chairman then addressed the
meeting again.

be a mistake to liquidate Primo at
this time, just after he has won a
terrific fight and discovered the killer
instinct. The killer instinct probably
