CHEAP INSURANCE.
Cost Of $4,000, Exclusive Of
Amount for Labor, Is
Estimated.

Cheap insurance" is the comment
of engineers of the United States En-
gineers Office on the construction of
the flood protection dixie, thrown up
south of the Munitions Navy Building
area and in the Washington Monu-
ment Grounds.
The National Park Service of the
interior Department has estimated
the cost of the dixie at $4,000, which
represents the bill for truck, steam
shovel and tractor hire and the
amount expended for sand and sand
bags. The labor cost of Uncle Sans
forces-Civilian Conservation Corps,
National Park Service workers and
those of the Works Progress Admins.
tration-engaged in building the EN-.
bankment has not yet been computed.
Accordingly a grand total cost for the
dixie is not available at this time as
the accountants have not turned in
their final reports.
The engineers are frankly disap-
pointed, from a professional viewpoint.
that the flood did not put the dixie to
a better test, for the best the waters
could do was to flood lower Seven
teenth street near the John Paul Jones
statue to a depth of some 2 feet.
Elsewhere the dixie was not touched
by the flood, although it came within
three or four feet of the terraces Of
the rejecting pools of the Lincoln
Memorial at the rear of the Navy
Building.

Less than 10 per cent of the gain

more than half Of all the income OF

of Income and It's Distribution" by
Leroy A, Halbert, director OF research
for the public assistance division OF
the Board Of Public Welfare, released
yesterday.
"The study shows that 1877 per cent
of the total gainfully employed work.
ers received enough income to be re-
quired to pay income taxes and they
received 52.s per cent of all the in
come of the District" Halbert said.
Their average income was $6,473
each, whereas the average net income
of all the rest Of the people was 81 S335.
The number of gainfully employed
was estimated at 256, ,6e1 for that year

Halbert said that IL per cent OF
the people who received $4,000 a

The study brings out strikingly the
difference between the economic
activities of the District and the aver
age activities of the Nation as a
whole" he said Eleven per cent OF
the income in the District accrues to
people engaged in mechanical and
manufacturing pursuits, whereas Pts
per cent of the income Of the Nation
as a whole accures to that class OF
people.
The income which accures to peo-
pie engaged in governmental activities

Some of them did not know the celery

had already been munched for at least

NEW YORK March 21.-Repre-

that instead of the Hoover myth OF
two chickens in every pot the unem-

Marcantonios address, delivered to
delegates attending the New York

a caustic attack on both Republicans
and Democrats, which he said were
united in failure to provide adequate
relief
"The New Deal has completely sur
rendered to the demands of the Lib

the unemployment relief question" "
he said.
"The New Deal stands in no differ
ent position today on this question
than Herbert Hoover stood in 1882
Marcantonio advocated formation
of IAN all-inclusive, united front
farmer labor party" and taxation OF
all incomes over $1,000 at the higher
British rates to meet an expanoeo
