Fraud and Corruption
In WPA Ranks Reveaed

Hundreds Of cases of fraud and
corruption in connection with Fed
eral relief funds were brought to
light officially as a belligerent
House rocked under the enormous
tasks0f appropriating 1854 million
dollars, mostly for New Deal''
social programs.
Revelations OF graft, collision,
pay roll padding and bribery with
relief funds were made by Works
Progress Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins, testifying at a secret ses
sion Of a House Appropriations
subcommittee. His testimony was
made public yesterday for the
first time.
Hopkins also told the subcom'
mittee 100000 persons need
relief.

Warned that appropriations
this session may reach the stag
gering total of 10000 million dol
lars, House Democrats today ap
peared ready to adopt President
Roosevelt's relief program.
Leaders believed the chief OBJ
stacle to approval Of the 1,425'
million-dollar Works Progress Ad'
ministration fund sought by Mr.
Roosevelt was removed when q
Democratic caucus refused to ap,
prove earmarking Of TOO million
dollars for Public Works Admin
iStration.
Caucus Startled
The caucus was startled when
Chairman Buchanan Cd OF
Texas Of the Appropriations Com
mittee asserted If appropriation
bills are passed as indicated the
sessions total will be 10000 mil
lion dollars. He said: -
Il believe the time has come
when the Democratic party, In
justice 60 the country and to
itself, must retrench."
The second deficiency bill,
which carries total of 1884 mil
lion dollars and includes the WPA
fund was expected to be put in
final shape today for a vote Mon
day.
The PWA bloc, after losing in
an effort to bind Democrats in
caucus to support q TOO million
dollar program under Secretary
Of Interior Ickes, planned to offer
an amendment for q $50 million
dollar PWA fund on the House
floor. =.
"Steam Roller" Hit Z
The vote In the caucus was 50
for Public Works Administration
and 70 against, with some not
voting and more than half the
Democrats absent. Representa-
tive Better Cd, Of New York,
leader Of the PWA bloc, said lead
ers blocked votes for lesser PWA
amounts. He said:
1.-THE caucus action will aid
us because the steam roller
methods used by the leaders
made votes for our SIDE"
Representative Bankhead Of
Alabama, Democratic leader, told
the caucus the Administration
hopes to continue PWA through
loans from the RFC.
AS the House again plunged
into the relief fight, many amend
ments revising the AdminiStra-
ton relief program were pro-
posed. They included: .-..--....-.,.
Marcantonio a m e n d m e mt,
raising total to 5000 millions.
Provision prohibiting aliens
in country illegally since 1925
to be barred from WPA jobs.
Estimated that 100000 would be
thrown off jobs.

SPORTSMEN'S SHOW
 OPENS TOMORROW
Statewide Interest { in Unique Attraction
 in Hartford

Having drawn record crowds dur' ing tho past week-almost 30,ooo on the better days-the big Sports. mems Show, over which Boston went wild, is preparing to move to Hartford, Conn, for the period February iS-22, and then on to New York to run from February % to March 2. Manhattanites and others who visited the Boston event pre-. dict that this recently.orga National sportsmen's show in New York under the same spongosshtp as the New England events, will take the metropolis by storm when 1t opens in Grand Central Palace. The bulk of the exhibits in the Bos- ton and Hartford shows will be sent to Manhattan, and these VIII be augmented by numerous additional features. The list includes c wide range of outdoor Eecreational ex. hibits and sports competitions.
 New York has not had deally comprehensive Sportsmen's Show in 26 years. The rising generation Of school youngsters and college men and women in this vicinity never have seen one. The forthcoming event, with its hundreds of inter. esting exhibits, is not to be con. fused with several so-called Sports. mems Shows, nor is 1t to be con- fused with several of those which petered out and became quite non. representative more than two dec- adye ago.
 What the crowd ct Boston espe. cially enjoyed were the numerous contests in hy.casting, wood-chop. ping, saving, log-rolling, pistol iiaarksmanship, canoe tilting, ct cetera-all of which will be seen ct New York with dozens of cham pions competing. The many live animal exhibits, including families of moose, deer, beavers, bears and others. interested many. The eskimo huskies, waterfowl, game birds, large and small fish. likewise made . strong appeal to lovers of outdoor life.
 Albert c. Rau, manager of the show, received congratulations from many experts in sports circles.

AN hAay or tniS year, CnlnaS con~ elitution is to be put Into its per- manent form along lines of west. crn democracy and 1t will be adopt. cd when the National Peoples Con- gress meets at Nanklng on Nov. i2, iDs0.
 Until then every effort Is being made to promote self-government in every district under the direc- ton of Gen. chiang Tso-pin, former ambassador to Japan and recently appointed Minister of the Interior.
 Two Principles outlined
 On June 1, 1881, provisional constitution for the political tute- lage period was promulgated at Nanking. It provided for rebuilding the Republica of China on the basis of two principles: First, pr, Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles" !" nationalisln, democracy and live- lihood of the people; second, ad- flinistration of the government by five organs known as the Executive Yuan, the Legislative Yuan, the Ju. eiicial Yuan, the Examination Yuan and the Control Yuan.

The Judicial Yuan is the highest judicial organ. The Examination Yuan conducts exam. nations for what amounts to China's civil service. The Control Yuan is the highest supervisory organ and is vested with powers of impeachment and auditing,
 Tutelage Period Closing
 Among other things, the national governments task during the period of political tutelage has been to train and guide tho people in the exercise of the four political rights of election, initiative, recall and referendum. The minister of the interior envisions the end of the period and is doing all in his power to prepare the people for their new responsibilities.
 In the past five years, the pro. vlsional constitution has been re. vised and amended. In May of this year 1t will assume it's final form and in November the people them- selves will meet to adopt it. China's masses are nearing the end of thelr political schooling and with the final adoption of their constitution they hope to take their place among the democracies in the world.
 China Has "Strong Man"
 But during this transition period, China has her strong man--0en. cralissimo Chiang . Kai shek. He dislikes and avoids use of the word dictator" The fact is, however that the firm control he exercised over the recent Kuomintang meet. ings at the capital and the grow ing list of important official posi- tons he occupies, make any other term too weak to describe his pres- ent status. The former comman. der of the Whampoa Military Acad. emy at Canton, early disciple of Dr. Sun Yat.sen and the only political survivor to-day of the triumvirate which carried on after Sun Yat. sens death, is more than ever tho keystone of the Kuomintang arch.
 When he speaks of on.build- ing, Chiang thinks of many things. Tn the regions recovered from the Communists, where his word as the supreme military commander was the only law, the effort and money he devoted to constructing roads, markets, schools and other facilities for the civilian population gained wide attention. In the New Life Movement, he has sought to remold the character of the people.
