ORDERS WORK
PROJECTS
BEGUN
Criticism That Red Tape Is
Hamstringing Big Fund
. Brings Fast Action
By GEORGE DURNO
international News Service

Official figures showing an ap-
preciable employment under the
1000 million dollar work relief pro-
gram will be forthcoming in the
next few weeks, it was indicated
here today by developments in the
Administration set-up.
Before leaving for his weekend
cruise on Chesapeake Bay, Presi-
dent Roosevelt gave orders that
projects must be started without
delay which will take men off
straight relief rolls. Criticism has
been getting pronounced that red
tape is hamstringing the big re-
lief fund, and the President has
demanded immediate results that
can be translated into reemploy.
ment statistics.
Stories that relief officials and
Treasury men already were debat-
ing how much money would be
needed to carry unemployment re-
lief through the fiscal year 1886
81 helped spur the New Dealers
into an immediate showing.
White House Farley
These stories were inspired by
q White House conference in
which Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau, Secretary Of Labor
Perkins, Works Progress Admins
TRAITOR Hopkins and National Emer-
gency Council Director Walker
participated, and the purpose OF
which was said to be determine.
ton Of next years financial needs
for the unemployed.
President Roosevelt himself eX-
planned he merely was seeking a
formula from his advisers whereby
he could get fairly accurate esti.
mate Of how many still would be
unemployed next July. This, he
said, he would need for his an.
nual message to Congress in Janu-
AIRY.
Two schools of thought are said
to exist within the official New
Deal family. Secretary Morgen.
thau wants to make stab at budg-
ct balancing. and Secretary Per
kins feels sure the unemployment
load will be lessened materially a
year hence.
Fights New Drive
Harry Hopkins and certain
Democratic congressional leaders
are said to be convinced, however,
that the unemployment situation
is so chronic several thousand
million dollars more will be needed
from the next Congress.
One explanation of the PreSi
dents request for system to esti
mate next summers unemploy
ment was that he wanted to dis
courage at an early date any drive
for another huge work-relief ap
preparation.

THREE COUNTY WPA
PROJECTS APPROVED

Continued from page one)
$40 for unskilled labor to maxi
mum of $50 for skilled workers.
Each worker will be employed 14O
hours per month.
All employables on relief rolls
must re-register with the re-em-
plOyment division before being as
signed to WPA projects. One
member from each family of EN-
plOyables will be given work on a
WPA project.
In Henderson county, w. NJ.
Sherard will be the unemployment
director.
The WPA expects to spend
S50,000,000 in North Carolina
during the next year; the CCC
and federal highway aid will
amount to S25,0O0,OOO, and the
re-settlement division expects to
let loose $5,000,0OO.
Projects totaling S9,5OO,OOO
have already been approved by
the Raleigh office and forwarded
to Washington. About S4,OOO,OOO
of the total is for statewide SAM
tary projects. Very few have been
approved in Washington.
In the 9Th (Asheville) district
last May there were 1O,3S9 per-
sons on the relief rolls. Roughly
from 5000 to 1925 for each of
these persons will be expended in
the district during the next year,
or from $2,O77,80O to $2,337,525.
Communities which cannot pay
Their share of the cost of materials
on projects stand little chance to
get much done. Farm-to-market
roads will be sponsored by the
State Highway and Public Works
commission, however, and some
white-eollar jobs call for no ma
terials.

The measure does not include

The threat of a filibuster was
evident in the leisurely, deliber-
ate way in which Bone took up
neutrality yesterday, permitting
frequent interruptions w h C h

thing else of the like when the
peace of the world is threatene-

war simply because we had no
neutrality policy" Sen. Arthur
H. Vandenberg broke in.

tinued "and look into the face
of mothers whose boys may be
carrying muskets without adopt
ing this legislation.

to cross the street if there's a
knife-fight going on there, but
Pm a silly ass if l do it when
I've got my own side to walk on.
If people haven't enough sense to
stay out of war zones, we should
keep them out"
Bone talked as though he had
plenty of time. Wrinkles OF
worry creased the forehead of
Majority Leader Joe T. Robin
son. They deepened into
frown when Sen. Willard Tydings,
D., Md, gave Bone an opportun-
ity to rest with his interruptions.
Tydings was not particularly
interested in neutrality legisla-
tion-in fact he commented cyni-
cally that no matter what con-
gress did now, human nature is
such that the laws could be "wip-
ed off the statute books" as soon
as cotton farmers found they
could not sell their crop abroad
But Tydings is actively oppos-
ed to the Guffey coal bill, con-
sideration of which, Bone was
holding up, and the situation was
perfect for a highly efficient
fi,buster if the anti-Guffey
forces decided to aid the neutra-
lily bloc.
After Bone had talked away
two hours of time Robinson slip
ped out to the cloak room to see
what arrangements could be
made to end the filibuster.
