Guides At Capitol
No TStOOgeS' to
WreStlerS

Even though you don't like the
way the Capitol guides act at
times, you can't show it by tossing
them about on the greensward.
A jury in police court so decided
in the case of Steve Gursky, who
said he was once in the Navy and
did bit of wrestling now and
then, and that he is now-or has
been-attached to the police force
at the Capitol.
Charged with assaulting E. K.
Mcdaniel, one of the guides who
stands around in the vicinity Of
the Capitol hoping for customers
and sometimes getting them, he
was found guilty. 1t was testified
that the alleged assault which
occurred August Is last, followed
an argument over McDaniels
business practices.
Judge Walter J. Casey, who pre-
sided at Gursky's trial, deferred
sentence until December 8.
Mcdaniel lives at 1905 Colum-
bia Road, NV.

JOB INSURANCE
DEMANDED BY
WPA AIDES

Unemployment insurance was
demanded by organized employees
Of the Works Progress Administra-
ton today as they prepared to
present a five-point program to
appropriation committees of the
Senate and House and to WPA
Administrator Harry Hopkins in
an effort to offset threatened
drastic personnel retrenchments,
The program was adopted unan-
imously by a mass meeting last
night at the Hamilton Hotel,
called by WPA Lodge No. 139 of
the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees. Salient points
to be demanded Of the Admin
iStration and Congress were an
nounced as follows:
/. No further disc argos
among administrative employees
Of the WPA pending remedial
measures.
More Funds Asked
2. Approval by Congress, i'm
mediately after January 3, of
q deficiency bill appropriation
enabling continuance of the
WPA.
8. Establishment of sufficient
"reSearch" projects within the
agency to require services OF
clerical personnel now faced
with dismissal.
4. An executive order giving
civil service status to the WPA
administrative staff via non
competitive tests.
S. Unemployment insurance
for all Government employees
without civil service status by
establishment of a transfer
agency with mandatory powers
sufficient to force agencies to
fill vacancies from its registers.
Approximately 200 Government
workers-not all from WPA-re-
manned throughout the evening
as lodge officials warned that
5000 will be discharged by Janu-
ary unless WPA receives addi-
tional appropriations. Unless
more money is forthcoming by
January 20, WPA must expire,
they declared.
For the first time in recent his
tory of the A. F. G. E., national
officers of the Government or
ganization revealed that they were
behind the policies of q lodge they
have considered as dangerously
radical during the past three years,
the WPA group having narrowly
escaped suspension during the De-
troit A. F. G. E. convention.
Ira Y. Balm, vice president and
leader of the A. F. G. Els ruling
conservative faction, addressed the
mass gathering and declared
"there is plenty of room in the
Government service for trained
workers." adding:
II have always favored the
idea of having all Government
employees under Civil Service
not only for their own benefit
but for that of the taxpayer.
have noted nOnmerit appoint
mentS in my own bureau, In
ternal Revenue, as well as in
others. It should never have
been allowed. 1 can promise
that our national organization
will press forward on Congress
to bring all new agencies under
the Civil Service system"
MEMBERS NEEDED
Balm is chief of personnel at the
Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Henry C. Tier, newly appointed
A. F. G. E. national organizer,
also stressed additional member
ship for the WPA lodge, as did its
president, Arthur Stein, who de-
clared all objectiveS could be at
tanned if the union had 1000 mem
bers instead of the 40 now cred
tied to it.
Stein, who presented the five
point program for approval, added
that emergency workers in Wash
ington have been forced to live
"hand to mouth" with 80, 80 or 80
day appointments, and "have
begun to lose faith in the Admin
istration we have supported so
faithfully up to now"

GEO. A. CASEY REPORTS

George A. Casey, president of the
Delaware and New Jersey Bridge
Corporation, submitted an objec-
tion to the construction of the pro-
posed tunnel of the Wilmington
Deepwater Tunnel Company be-
tween Delaware and New Jersey
at the public hearing conducted by
the U. S. Engineer on the tunnel
in the u. S. Custom House build
ing, Philadelphia. Mr.. Casey said
traffic surveys had disclosed the
available motor traffic which would
use the tunnel, if constructed, is
not sufficient to pay the carrying
charges, overhead, and interest for
a tunnel which would cost 81 ,500,-
900. Mr.. Casey also declared the
tunnel company should be required
to establish its financial RESPONSE
bility for undertaking and con-
structing the tunnel before a per-
NIT is granted. Mr.. Casey Is one
of the original sponsors of the Del
aware River Bridge project at Will
mington. He has long advocated
the construction of the bridge and
has previously announced plans are
ready and the project can be fin

granted. Due to objections, prin-
cipally from Philadelphia shipping
and navigation interests, sponsors
of the bridge project have been un-
successful in their attempts to Sc
cure permit. although efforts
were made to secure a special per
missive act from Congress.

Delaware Good Roads

NEWS IlldhCo WI vi F" "ihiiS
plea when it makes an appeal
Protect Our Roads" Con-
tinuing it says:
Delaware has a magnificent
good roads system.
'It is the pride of our cit
liens. 1t is the envy of our
neighboring states.
Every mile of that system
of concrete, macadam, Stag,
and gravel roads has been
built under the auspices of
Republican governors, Legis-
latures, and other Republican
governing bodies.
"The father of the good
roads movement in Delaware
was Gen. T. Coleman DUPONT.
He was a Republican of Re
publicans, a Republican Ma
tional Committeeman, and a
Republican United States Sen
ator.
1T was General dupont who
conceived and gave to our
state the magnificent state
long road which now bears his
name-the Dupont Boulevard.
'Tt was the public conven-
ience, comfort, and private
and public saving which came
in the train of that boulevard
making Delaware good-roads
conscious and dirt-roads un-
conscious.
"It was a practical demon
stration of the value of good
roads. 1t led to the adoption
by our state of a good-roads
program.
"That program swept over
the counties like wildfire. 1t
overwhelmed all old-time pref
udices and standpat opposi-
tion to the movement.
Every mile of good road
built created public demand
for the building of other miles
until New Castle, Kent, and
Sussex Counties were grid
ironed with good roads. They
revolutionized residence in the
rural districts and led to
largely increased values in ru-
raj real estate.
"Coincidently they brought
the peoples of the different
sections of Delaware into clos
er contact and happier COM
munion and facilitated and re-
duced the costs of transporta-
tion.
'The movement reached it's
apex in July 1, 1885, when the
state, under legislative au-
thol-ity, took over all the coun-
ty roads and the bridges and
culverts connected Herewith.
"The result is that there
are no county roads in Della
ware. We have one big uni
fled system of state roads
which slowly but surely is re-
placing the old and bogg dirt
roads with hard surfaced
highways upon which it is a
delight to travel for business
or pleasure.

Popeye's Poppa certainly has a

Even though nobody has seen

himself doesn't know what his

admirers are competing for the
right to draw the best likeness Of
him-and are doing quite well.
The mails are bringing in one

of the father of the One-Eyed

Invariably, they look like Pop
