|CKES MERC|LESS
IN BOOK ATTACK
Talmadge, Douglas and AL
len Are Singled Out for
Bitter Assault.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Pulling no punches, Public Works
Administrator Ickes in his new book
Back to Work-the Story Of P. w.
A." hits back at some of his favorite
'Fhates" Among those singled out for
particular attention are Gov. Eugene
Talmadge of Georgia, former Budget
Director Lewis w. Douglas and George
G. Allen, head of both the Duke En-
dowment Trust and the Duke Power
Co.
Admitting some mistakes undoubt-
edly had been made in administering
the fund, Ickes Stoutly maintains two
points-that politics had been kept out
of the undertaking, and that delays in
the spending were not his fault. Legal
difficulties and local complications
were to blame for the latter, he says.
$500, 200, 900 Held Inadequate.
Although P. w. A. kept an average
Of 100000 at work on construction
sites in 1894 and. provided jobs indi-
rectly and directly for 100000, the
administrator says that the original
So 800 O00, 900 was entirely inadequate
for the task of pulling the country out
of the depression. Referring to the
care with which projects were reviewed
before ALLEGATIONS were made, Ickes
states fatty that unless projects were
useful as we'll as employment giving 1t
would be as desirable to dump mil
lion dollars at every mile post from
Washington to San Francisco.
The author went into the subject of
Gov. Talmadge in considerable detail
Finding Georgia cut off by its own
constitution from borrowing freely
from the P. w. A, Ickes declares that
the administration went out of its way
to devise means of letting the State
share in P. w. A. benefits. Many of
these efforts were made upon request
Of the Governor, he continues, where
upon the State executive proceeded to
veto special State legislation which
would make the loans possible.
Allen Termed kylI-Hyde.
AS for Mr.. Allen, the administrator
terms him Jekyll and Hyde who
opposed a municipal power project or
the grounds that it endangered Securi.
ties held by the Duke Endowment
Trust, but who neglected to emphasize
the fact that he was president Of the
Duke Power Co.
Budget Director Douglas was op-
posed to expenditure of the P. w. A
funds at fast rate, Ickes says, anc
suggested higher interest rates or
loans to municipalities and States a:
a means of discouraging their desire;
to obtain funds.
The book is dedicated to President
Roosevelt, whom the author terms ''ths
worlds greatest builder"

did not mention the Ethiopian ques-
ton, diplomatic circles were inclined
to believe it was not discussed.
Capt. Eden undertook in the con-
ference to allay II Duce's irritation
over the naval accord.
On one of his most delicate missions
as Great Britains rowing representa-
tive, Eden advanced as justification
for the accord the argument that it
prevented Germany from building an
even greater navy.
Before leaving for his morning
audience with Mussolni, Eden held a
final conference with Sir Eric, who
drove with him to Mussolini's office.
Capt. Eden's argument was based on
a parallel with Germany's land re-
armament.
More than a year ago, Eden went to
Berlin to sell Ramsay Macdonald s
armament limitation plan to Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler.
When he left, Eden announced he
had received Hitler's promise to
accept the plan, which would give the
Reich an army Of about 250,0 900 men.
Italy agreed to the proposal, but
France would not accept it. The
matter dragged. on-and the opportune
moment was lost. Finally Hitler pro-
claimed an army of more than twice
the size he would have accepted 18
months previously.
If naval matters were treated in the
same way, Eden set forth. 1t was
conceivable that within few years
Hitler would announce the building of
a navy much larger than that agreed
on at London.
