PRESIDENT ALLOTS
PATROL BOAT FUND
81 New Coast Guard Ships
Called For-Ickes Asks
Cut in Interest Rate.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today allotted
IS, ,263, ,995 of work-relief fund to the
Coast Guard for 81 new patrol boats
and reconditioning of q number Of
shore stations. He also apportioned
s453,8 to the Veterans Administra-
ton for construction at several hos
pitals.
The allotments were recommended
last week by his Advisory Committee.
The largest item In the Coast Guard
building program is $582, 900 for seven
80-foot patrol boats, which will re-
place ancient 75-footers now TO be
Withdrawn from service Four cap
tured rum runners used by the Coast
Guard also will be replaced with 65-
foot high-speed patrol boats costing
$209, 900.
Others are:
Eighteen 38-foot cabin picket boats,
$226,000: two 62-foot harbor craft,
used as ice-breakers, $4,000; five
crash boats" for aviation duty, $37,-
600; ten 26-foot motor boats to be
carried on cutters, $1,000; five 5O-foot
boats for harbor craft, $263,000.
Interest Rate Cut Sought.
The allotments followed announce
ment OF one more proposal for a
change in the work-relief machinery.
Secretary Ickes suggested reducing the
per cent P. w. A. interest rate where
private lenders charge "exorbitant"
interest. This Is an attempt to obtain
a substantial amount of State and
community P. w. A. projects. Many
city officials have expressed prefer
ence for projects carried out by Har-
ry L. Hopkins Works Progress Ad-
ministration, because of easier terms.
Effects Of the present per cent
rate will be studied by subcommittee
Another development was a recon-
mendation by the Presidents Allot-
ment Committee that the Rural Elec-
triflcation Administration receive an
additional $5O,0o0, 900. It also gave
its approval to $34, 4,963,379 worth OF
works progress projects for nine
States, Indiana. Arkansas, Florida,
Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey
Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania.
Officials estimated this sum would
provide years employment for ST.
600 persons, at an average cost of
$700 per job.
New Border Stations Asked.
Meanwhile, an application for ST.
664 900 was filed by the Customs Serv-
ice for new border stations and living
quarters on both the Canadian and
Mexican frontiers.
The IckeS proposal for a cut in
the P. w. A. interest rate was made
at meeting of the Allotments Com
mittee, which recommended only
$893.470 in such projects out of a
list totaling s1os, ,635 ,sO9 that it sent
to President Roosevelt's desk.
The particular difficulty which
Ickes sought to meet revolved around
difficulties of States and cities in bor-
rowing the SIS per cent still required
after they receive P. w. A. grants OF
As per cent.
If Ickes' proposal is approved by
the President p w. A. will have
power to lower the interest rate in
cases where private lending charges
are ''unconscionably high"

COUNTY OPPOSES
PARKWAY PLAN
Wisconsin Avenue Traffic
JuStifies Paving, Com
miSSionerS' View.
By Stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY stan correspondent OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, July 17.-Oppo-
sition TO the State Roads Commis-
sion'S tentative plans TO construct
parkway in the center of Wisconsin
avenue at Bethesda was voiced by the
Board of Montgomery County Com
missioners at its meeting yesterday.
Holding that the volume of traffic
jJStif1es paving, the commissioners
wrote the highway body requesting
that it discard its plans to construct
a Handicapped parkway in the center
of the thoroughfare after the Cap
ital Transit Co. abandons its electric
railway.
The board suggested that the CEN
ter lane be paved If funds are avail
able for the work, or that the trac-
ton firms right-of-way be filled with
ballast to permit paving at a later
date if the highway commission is
financially unable at this time to sur
face the gulley in which the tracks
now lie.
Action was taken when 1t was
brought to the boards attention that
highway officials have tentatively de-
cided to build a Handicapped parkway
to fill in the gulley and eliminate the
serious traffic menace that it causes.
The road group, it was said, con-
tends that the flow of traffic over Wis
consin avenue would not justify the
paving work after the traction COM
pany substitutes busSes for its Wash
ington- Rockville line.
Commissioner Robert D. Hagner de-
clared, however, that the volume Of
traffic In the early morning and late
afternoon hours taxes the present
roadway and the congestion will be
even greater when the railroad sus-
pends.

Punishment Ordered for

BERLIN, July 1.-THE Catholic
a retort from the Reich today--a de-
cree providing heavy punishment for
persons spreading propaganda against
the deprivation of procreative powers.
The decree, issued by Dr. Wilhelm
Prick, minister of the interior, was re-
garded by Catholics as blow against
their church. They considered it
likely to lead to further estrangement
between the church and the Nazi gov
ernment.
The German government. however.
profeSsed readiness to meet any crit
icism. Robert Ley, Adolf Hitler's trade
union commissioner, told meeting of
students:
They call us paganS and heretics,
but this one fight in past years has
brought more religion than all theology
and all priests together"
Catholic Youths Called Army.
Catholic youth organizations also
drew fire in the meeting at Opladen,
where Ley said:
They are organized like an army.
This sounds dark and dangerous for
religious organization"
The commissioner, who Is also preSi-
dent of the States Council. gave assur-
ances of religious freedom to indi-
vidual citizens and independence to
churches, but added:
"The necessity of unity of German
youth, for whom Hitler's youth organ
ization was established, Is in accord
ance with Der Fuehrer's will"
Nazi eugenie experts extended one
olive branch to the clergy in an at
tempt to overcome, at least somewhat,
their objections to the sterilization
law, backbone of the doctrine Of racial
purity.
Sterilization Of expectant mothers,
considered the greatest obstacle in the
way of understanding between the
church and state, was amended to call
for consent by the woman.
Danger Declared Removed.
The medical expert of the newspaper
Frankfurter Zeitung has claimed that
the latest achievement in eugenic
surgery makes possible sterilization OF
expectant mothers without danger.
Newspaper editorials asserted that
"this solution, it seems to us, can oe
accepted by all"
The procedure Of the eugenic
courts was believed to have been
facilitated greatly by this action.
The Vatican dispatched a note of
protest to Berlin yesterday, charging
Germany with violation of their
concordat.
The note objected to application Of
Nazi sterilization laws to Catholics,
interference with the existence OF
Catholic lay organizations and attacks
on the freedom of the Catholic press
in Germany.

PRESIDENT LAUDS
NEW TRADE PACTS
SAYS Russian and Brazilian
Treaties May Raise
U. S. Employed.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt strongly in
dorsed the new Russian and Brazilian
trade agreements today and expressed
belief they would result in increased
employment in this country.
The agreement with the Soviet
Union. under which Russia agrees to
buy $50, 900 900 worth of goods from
this country during the next II
months, has been attacked sharply in
the Senate. Soon after it was con-
cluded Senator McCarron, Democrat
of Nevada proposed repeal of the law
on which the New Deals reciprocal
tariff policy is based.
Discussing the lowering OF the
American tariff on manganese in the
Russian pact, Mr.. Roosevelt said at
his regular press conference he thought
infinitely more people would be puf
to work making steel products than If
only domestic manganese were con-
Sumed.
Sees Steel Cost Up.
Under a high tariff barrier, he be-
lieves the cost of steel products would
be increased excessively because OF the
limited manganese supply in this
country.
The cost would be as much as SO
times more than the earnings of the
few employed in manganese produc-
ton, he feels.
He said the increased purchasing
power of workers who would be en-
ployed making steel products with a
plentiful supply of manganese would
put 10 times as many to work in this
country as might be employed in
American manganese fields.
Discussing the proposed legislation
to restrict tariff agreements in the
trade pacts to nations giving this
country the MISREPRESENTATION rec
ognition, the President said he
thought it would be difficult to draw
a strict line like that by legislative
action and preferred to treat each
case on its own feet.
German Pact Negotiated.
In spite of Congressional threats to
repeal the foreign trade policy law
the United States is ready to negoti-
ate a reciprocal tariff agreement with
Germany.
The announcement was made yes
terday by Acting Secretary of State
Phillips as DR.. Hans Luther, German
Ambassador, was discussing the mat
ter with Berlin officials. The United
States set up the condition that Ger
many must pledge equality of treat
ment to American goods.
Phillips said the German govern
ment had made overtures for the
negotiation of a trade agreement in a
note on May "a, and that the United
States had replied on June %, out
lining terms of the administrations
foreign trade program which Germany
would be expected to meet.
His statement was interpreted as
new evidence that President Roose-
welt would press his reciprocal trade
program in the face of congressional
attacks.
Pending in the Senate is an amend
ment proposed by Senator McCarran,
to the farm adjustment bill seeking
to repeal the Presidents authority to
negotiate reciprocal tariff treaties.
It was prompted by the recently con-
cluded trade agreement with Russia,
which would extend to the Soviet
Union the reduced manganese duty
in the Brazilian pact now awaiting
approval by the nations Parliament
Active negotiation Of proposed pactS
with Canada and France also were
expected to be started by the admin
istration within the next two or three
weeks.

busy trying to gain on their side
the powerful Abyssinian clergy. If
these men can be convinced that it
would be in their interest to support
the Italian policy, half the battle is
won for Mussolini. II Duce's repre-
sentatives are not stingy with their
silver, remembering that in the East
many battles have been won with
other arguments than cannon and
bayonets.
In the meantime, SeldsSie, Dho
is preparing himself for battle, has
been helped by JehoU1h. Some
three weekS ago, the pretender to
the throne, Lidj YdSsu passed
dwGy under mysterious circam-
stances Europeans who haze
just come out of Abyssinid say
that SeIassie has helped the hand
of Jehovdh.
YaSsu, who by rights should have
been the Negus Negussi CKing of
Kings of Ethiopia, was imprisoned in
1916 by Selassie, who, under the name
of Ras Taffari, was at that time the
regent of the country.
Empress Zoaditu, the nominal en-
press, and Selassie's wife, Wazeru
Manen, prevented the ambitious
Selassie from expediting Yassu into
the Kingdom of Heaven.
Yassu was sent to Harrar, which is
not Abyssinian country. There, on the
top of an extinct volcano, a royal cage
was built for him. And since he could
not be killed outright he was murdered
slowly. He was given dope three times
day. At first it was In small guam
titles in his meals; later the dose was
increased until the man became half
wit. In order to precipitate his
decadence the monks who were sent
to keep him company chanted the
whole night to. the accompaniment Of
African drums.
y
Three weeks ago, the neUs came
out that YGssu had died. SeIas-
sic denied this, but missionaries
who hare been keeping In touch
pith the entourage of Yassu de-
clare that they hare positiue proof
that the preteEdeT has gone 10
higher altitude that the S,000-foot
plateau to tDhich he had been
confined for the last 19 years.

This news seems to be confirmed by
the fact that Selassie's agents In
Djibouti have been making vigorous
efforts to entice Yassu's son. Menelik,
into AbySsinia. At the request OF
Mussolini the guards around Menelik's
house have been doubled and precau-
