so Jobs Now Under Way to
Create New Community
Type, Says Director.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tht Associated Press.
A report by Secretary Ickes that
18,400 Of the 1880 projects under the
old p. w. A. program were completed
or under construction advanced the
claim today that the P w. A. slum
clearance division also has aided in
giving a new direction tc the creation
of housing for the American people"
A. r. Clas, director Of the housing
division, told Ickes the so develop
ments now being carried out will Gre
ate a new type of community
and will contribute oew and positive
force to the betterment Of American
housing in general"
Clas asserted the $14O. .000, 900 con-
Struction program, to which the Fed
eral Government Is donating As per
cent of the cost, would provide "a
yardstick which may be used by per-
sons from any income group for the
purchase or rental Of living quarters" 4"
He said features of the p. w. A. de-
velopments were being duplicated by
concerns building for people able to
pay higher rentals.
Among Clas' specifications were:
500 cubic feet Of space for each adult,
$50 for each child; without elevators.
maximum height, three stories; plenty
of windows, high enough to be out
of the way Of children; ban on in
terror courts and shafts so each room
will have sunlight. surfaces easily
cleaned, fire resistive construction,
space for eating in kitchen to avoid
the need for dining rooms. 80 per cent

remainder for gardens and play

amount of the goal reported, but I
still have faith in Washington, still
believe that our citizens will respond
TO the altruistic efforts of this wonder
full campaign army" and that We'd
nesday night will, indeed, be great
victory meeting"
One of the most dramatic and en-
couraging letters ever received in the
Chest campaign came to one of the
solicitors yesterday inclosing small
pledge. The contributor wrote:
THE fact that have five children
all in grade school-prohibits me from
contributing more. But. on the other
hand, the very fact that I do have a
heavy burden to carry, brings to me
the realization, as it should to all of
us, that there are others in the city
who are confronted with heavier
burdens. And I should share with
them. Could more fortunate ones,
who have had negligible amount of
financial worries, and continuous en-
ployment, only realize the great
amount of illness, hardship and want
existing in Washington, am sure the
120 per cent campaign would go over"
Whole-hearted tribute to the spendid
support given by the press in the
present campaign was paid yesterday
by Joseph D. kaufman, chairman of
the publicity unit.
If I were not familiar with the
spirit that animates the newspapers of
Washington, I would be literally as
tonished at the manner in which our
newspapers have exploited this cam
paign," said Mr. Kaufman. "Of course
any movement which draws the sup
port of $4,000 people as the Chest did
last year, is news, but our newspapers
have gone far beyond that.
II do not think that any other move
ment could command the generous
contribution of space that has been
accorded to the Community Chest, and
everybody in the Chest from the presi-
dent and campaign chairman down
through the ranks to every worker in
the organization, whole-heartedly ap-
preciates this assistance from our
newspapers.
Radio stations, too, have been more
than generous in their programs. Not
only have they accorded time for prac-
tically every request made by the Chest
through our radio chairman, Herluf
Provensen, but they have gone far be-
yond Mr.. Provensen's program and
have added special features Of their
own which have been of invaluable as
sistance to the campaign.
Things like these are just one more
reason why Washington is the warm.

which to Live"

by reason Of the enforcement of the
Bankhead law. This is true for the
reason that cotton is the principal
money crop of the State of Georgia,
and the lands of complainant are
peculiarly adapted to cotton. There
is no other money crop which COM
plainant can profitably grow on its
lands"
Among other things, the petition
asserted that the scheme of local pro-
duction control is not within any Of
the powers conferred upon Congress
by the Constitution. that the tax is
beyond the power of Congress and
that the act deprives persons of prop
erty without due process of law.
The petition was presented in be-
half of Talmadge by NJ. j. Yeomans,
Georgia attorney general
Another Case Slated.
The Talmadge request won out de-
spite protest of Government attorneys.
Stanley Reed. the solicitor general,
had contended there was no basis for
the high court taking original juriS-
diction before lower tribunals had
passed on the controversy.
Before the date the Government
must answer, another case involving

argued and possibly decided 1t was

demnity clauses in case of violent
death.
The detective said his search for
the murderer had not been aided thus
far by the Investigations Of Robert
w. Hicks, Washington criminologiSt,
although he said Hicks findings might
be valuable later should the guilty per-
son or persons be brought to justice.
Please don't think / mean that
Hicks is not doing his work prop
erly," Lieut. Itzel said. II merely mean
that his investigations up to now have
not aided me in my search for the
murderer. Later on his information
may be valuable il We have an oppor-
tunity to present the case to a jury"
States Attorney Alan Bowie, who
is working with Itzel OF the case,
denied all knowledge of handwriting
repeatedly found on blood-stained
piece of paper discovered on Saddle
back Ridge and which Hicks now
says he is studying
Bowie said an old diary Of Miss
Loring's had been found in the home,
but that it had no possible bearing
on the investigation, since the last
entry was made in 1881.
Bowie explained that he and Itzel
had gone through half bushel" Of
torn up postcards. letters and men,
orandums Of Corinnas without finding
any information of value. He said
the girl apparently had destroyed
her personal correspondence in view
OF the fact she soon was to be married
and move into her own home.
Tear and Miss Loring had planned
to marry in Washington on November
6. just two days after she disappeared
from her home, and three days before
her body was found. Bowie denied
that any old love letters we're found.
Itzel Admits Progress Little.
Lieut.. Itzel quite frankly told re-
porters this morning he had made
little. if any, progress in the inves-
tigation. He was not called into the
case until Tuesday afternoon. three
days after the body was found
BY that time. practically all physical
clues in the case had been turned
over to Hicks, including mans glove
found at the scene. the cord which
strangled the girl, the girls stomach,
a number of strands of hair taken
from a sleeve Of her coat, along with
the coat itself. and her shoes.
Bowie explained today that he ap-
proved the suggestion by Chief j. j.
Crowley of Prince Georges County
police that the clues be given to Hicks.
Bowie said Crowley told him Hicks
was accompanied by an official Of the
District Morgue, j. B. Mccoy, who
vouched for the ability of the GRIMM
ologist.
Lieut.. Itzel said today that a review
of the transcript of the stories related
by witnesses so far revealed certain
points which had to be rechecked. He
said he expected to question other
persons, some of whom had been inter-
viewed before in an effort to clear UP
these points.
The detective said he has obtained
no evidence of possible motive nor
does he have any arrests or definite
suspects in mind
Meanwhile Hicks said he was still
trying to decipher faded handwriting
on the back of the blood-stained
piece of paper found near Corinna's
body.
He said he has definitely determined

Campaign Chairman William Nc
Clellan.
Urgency of this situation already
is becoming apparent, DR.. Mcclellan
pointed out. He has stated that hun
dreds of transient and homeless men
have been forced to rely on begging
to keep themselves alive. Chest agen-
cies already have overdrawn their
budgets for 1885 and reluctantly are
compelled to turn down extra apph-
cantS for relief.
Still optimistic, however, Chairman
Mcclellan today reiterated his faith
in his organization. He cited the
members of the Metropolitan Unit,
who yesterday disregarded the rain
and snow and continued calling on
prospects whom they might other
wise have missed, in order to obtain
their part of the goal.
Pay Own Transportation.
"a more magnificent example of
heroism was never seen on any bat
tlefield," Chairman Mcclellan de-
clared. "I sometimes wonder if the
rest of Washington really has true
picture of what these people are
doing-really understand the spirit
that drives them on in behalf of
their less fortunate neighbors. Won
der if Washington knows that these
people pay their own carfare or use
their own automobiles in this work
of mercy and that every one of them,
before starting out, has pledged to
the extent of his or her resources.
"To stop all this the collections in
the little cedar chests passed at each
luncheon meeting show that they
are practically paying for their own
luncheons. repeat again that the
work of this army is one of the most
outstanding examples Of unselfish de-
sire to aid those in need that have
ever witnessed. cannot possibly
understand how any man or woman,
with any means whatsoever, can re-
fuse to make pledge to one Of those
noble hearted workers.
"Our daily task has increased. The
average which must be reported each
day has gone up. We have used up
two-thirds of our campaign time with
only little more than one-half the

on Outer Long Island said the tide
rose 10 feet above normal.
An unidentified seaman was washed
overheard by huge combers which
crippled the Boston freighter Hart
welson 25 miles offshore in the At

freighter, after drifting helpless in a
55-mile gale for more than II hours,
was able to proceed slowly under its
own power to refuge in the Della

Breakers Defeat Helpers.
Coast Guardsmen at Ocean City
battled vainly for hours yesterday
seeking to work their way through
the inlet with 36-foot motor life
boat to go to the aid of the stricken
vessel. Giant breakers, hiding the
jetties from sight, prevented them.
The three-masted schooner Lillian
E. Kerr apparently was safely an
chored off Cape Henry, despite a
shifting cargo. But another schooner
was hunted off Narragansett Bay after
reports that it was in distress. The
unreported tug was the P. F. Marvin,
bound for Phidelphia with one barge.
Twenty-one sailors aboard the for
mer submarine chaser, the 7-B-35,

$35,000 bathing pavilion. Piers, board

lures suffered all along the North

Scranton, Pa, reported 812 inches of
snow. About loo motorists were
stranded by drift near Wilkes
Barre, Pa.
Snow and drenching rains covered
all sections of Maryland, but early re-
ports indicated property damage would
be comparatively small. No loss of

WAR GOODS SALES
BRING CONFLICT
Effort to Prevent Shipments
to Italy and Ethiopia Held
Unsuccessful.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A growing conflict Of opinion was
apparent today between the Govern
ment and some business men over con-
tinued sales Of war supplies to Italy
and Ethiopia.
Announcing a two-fold policy Of
keeping the United States clear Of war
and at the same time doing what 1t
feels it can to encourage peace, the
Roosevelt administration has sought
to discourage American trade with the
belligerents. particularly in essential
war materials.
That this effort has been unsuccess-
full so far Is indicated in the official
disclosure that American shipments
of key" commodities to the war zone
have increased since the fighting be-
gan despite strong governmental warn
ings.
The names of firms making the
shipments have not yet been re-
vealed. However, Government agen-
cies are keeping a daily record OF
them.
News dispatches told today Of the
sailing of the freighter Farnham from
Boston for Italy with 5000 tons OF
scrap iron and steel.
The vessel, reputedly operated by
Italian capital, is bound for Genoa
via Sydney, Nova Scotia, and there
was speculation in Boston as to
whether the British would invoke
y l. i L. Al
at Sydney.
At San Pedro, Calf. union marine
workers were standing guard to pre-
vent the American freighter Oregon
from leaving port with $1,000 drums
of gasoline. They were acting on a
rumor that the shipment was intended
for Italian fighting planes, but ships
officers denied this. The vessel was
listed to sail for Singapore.

UTILITIES WARNED
.. ON REGISTRATION
Committee Chairman As.
serts Act Will Expose Them
to Drastic Results.

By the Associated Press.
An industry spokesman warned
utility holding companies yesterday
that registration under the New Deais
utility law would expose them Ito the
possibility of drastic and destructive
consequences"
Foreshadowing a long-draWn court
struggle, Philip H. Ga.isden, chairman
of the Committee of Public Utility
Executives, added this statement:
They (holding companies) have
right now to carry their appeal to
the courts. In so doing, each
company also has the right to seek q
test of the constitutionality of the law
as applied to its own particular con-
ditionS. BY the act of registration II
might impair its legal status In SUBJ
sequently making such test"
Congressional Arguments Cited.
Gadsden said each company must
determine the registration question
for itself, and listed for their con-
sideration opposition arguments raised
at the Capitol against enactment OF
the law.
The registration deadline is Decem-
ber |. Coincident with Gadsdens
statement, reports persisted that most
companies would not register, espe-
cially in view of Baltimore Federal
court decision holding the law un-
constitutional. The Securities Com
mission, administrator of the act, has
warned. however, that failure to reg
lister will cast legal doubt on many OF
the companies major activities.
On another utility front the Federal
Power Commission issued a report
showing consumers pay for electricity
under 3O,373 rate scheduleS-24,O ,O29
private and 6,344 public. The COM
mission said these schedules. repre-
senting more than SO per cent of all
in the country, were submitted by
s,le3 private and publicly owned cleo
trio utilities.
10 Schedules Per Company.
The commission said the rates
averaged 10 schedules per company.
Divided. the municipal companies
averaged 4 against II for private COM
panies.
The December l registration with
the Securities Commission constitutes
a notification by a registering COM
pany that it intends to register more
fully later. Information is filed to
enable the commission to determine
whether holding company must be
eliminated under the abolition clause
of the act.
1T is not surprising, then, that the
officers and directors of these COM
panies are filled with concern and
are giving so much time and thought
to the problem" Gadsden said. They
have in their keeping the welfare of
millions and investors"
