This came as a surprise, as

Senator McNabo served notice
that at some future date he

HAETS
WPALIGHTS

Comptroller General McCarl to-
day halted a proposed plan of
the Works Progress AdminiStra-
ton to install protective devices,
such as barriers and warning
lights, at grade crossings, along
highways throughout the country
that are not part Of the Federal
aid highway system.
Upon request Of WPA Admins
traitor Harry L. Hopkins, who had
been in doubt as to whether he
had the authority to proceed with
the project, the Comptroller Gen.
eral ruled that funds allotted to
WPA from the Emergency Relief
Appropriation act Of 1885 could
not be used for the purpose.
Mr.. McCarl, however, pointed
out that the act does authorize
Secretary wallace, of Agriculture,
to apportion relief funds to the
various States for such protective
devices, and that the elimination
of hazards may be accomplished
for any highways, whether they
are within the Federal-aid system
or not,

GAME SAVERS
BODY PLANNED

Firm Welding of all American
conServationists into one national
body neared reality today as the
entire third session Of the North
American Wild Life Conference,
called by the President, was given
over to plans for a new General
Wild Life Federation.
Chairman of the meeting and
former chief of the United States
Biological Survey, Jay N. Darling,
struck the keynote when he said
"We have been frictiOnal and
factiOnal too long. We must
unite. We have depended on .
few lobbyists in Washington too
long. We must learn that you
can't pour your wild life poll
cies on the top. You have to
: inform your COngressmen from
the rear, from voters groups in
the home districts and States.
"If ducks are dying by the
thousands in New York harbOr
we have to reach the men who
will touch the button that con-
trolls refuse oil floating in New
York Bay. We have to reach
them 13 million strong as
voters"
Mr.. Darling gave his approval
to Secretary Morgenthau'S state
ment that if money is to be spent
by the Government for wild life
it must come from the public
through Congress.
His views were seconded by
Lithgow Osborne, New York State
commissioner of conservation, and
Roswell p. Rosengren, vice presi
dent Of the United States Junior
Chamber Of Commerce.
