There were many WPA men

til they were crooked"
Mr.. Xanten also revealed that
his department is in the midst of
q determined campaign to "crack
down properly on these people that
insist on httering up the alleys

adequate cooperation Is received
from the local police in this cam

A discussion Of this issue was
injected when Representative Ed
ward Taylor CD Of Colorado,
asserted:
'In front Of every drugstore
we find the whole street smeared
with refuse"
Mr.. Xanten replied that one rea-
son for that is because each street
cleaner has such a large area to

NEW INTERIOR
PLANS RADIO

The new Interior Building will
equipped with a radio broadcast
ing studio.
This was revealed when the
hearings on the first deficiency
bill were made available today.
Ebert K. Burlew, administrative
assistant and budget officer Of the
Interior Department, was testify
ing as to a deficiency estimate
from his department concerning
office furniture for the new In.
terror Building. He said:
eve will have to allOt about
S50,0OO for a brOa dcaSting
studio, which is a very necessary
thing. We are going to furnish
the brOadcaSting studio, not with
sending equipment. but as q
studio which will be used by
Government departments"
He explained that a microphone
will be set up In the studio, and
that will be connected with the
broadcasting stations in the city.
Republican members Of the sub
committee were interested in
knowing whether political propa-
ganda will be broadcast from the
proposed studio, Representative
John Taber (R.) Of New York, in
quiring:
do they (the Office Of Edu-
cation) have political broad
caSts?" e.
Mr.. Burlew replied that "the
Government is not engaged in
POLITICAL broadcastS" or propa-
ganda. Mr.. Taber retorted:
"The Education Office has
been printing q lot of prOpa-
ganda."

COST
H|GHF0RD.C

Government Printing Office rates
for printing copies of opinions Of
the District courts are nearly dou-
BILE those of private printing eS-
Establishments, but the local courts
must have their opinions printed
at the Government shop, it was
revealed tbday when hearings on
the first deficiency bill were made
public by the House Appropria-
tions Committee.
Moncure Burke, clerk Of the
United States Court of Appeals
for the District, brought out this
point when he indirectly appealed
to the subcommittee holding the
hearings to give the local courts
authority to go to private eStab-
liShmens to have copies Of their
opinions printed. TeStifying as
to why a deficiency appropriation
for court printing is necessary, Mr..
Burke said:
"The Supreme Court Of the
United States has a provision
that allows It to have its
opinions printed by q private
printer, and If we had that pro-
vision we could return you q
profit on every cent we spend
for having copies printed.
Just. to give you an idea Of
the difference In cost, we had
one job on which we got eSti.
mates which shows that . pri-
vate printer would have done the
job for $2.75, while the Govern
ment Printing Office cost was
$6.7O; in another case the bid
Of the private printer was $7.O5,
and the Government Printing
Office cost was $13.01; I'm
another case the bid of the pri-
vate printer was $40, and the
cost at the Government Print
ing Office was $16.S6; in another
case the bid Of . private printer
was $3.50, and the cost at the
Government Printing Office
was S44.64."

It may become desirable to have
