Institute Arranged
For WPA Instructors
Three=Day Session to Be Held During Christmas Holt
days-Recent Changes to Be Explained Discussed

tional and recreational classes will
last from December % until Janu-
airy 4.
Final Program
Miss Harmon said today that a
final program for the week had not
been arranged as yet. 1t is expected,
however, that several out Of town
authorities on educational and rec
reational programs will be secured
to lecture to the forty local WPA
instructors. These lecturers will be
from other state WPA centers and
from the state department Of edu-
cation. ......
Last spring a similar institute was
held under the general direction Of
Miss Harmon, working in conjunc-
ton with William j. Derwin of the
park department, just prior to the
superintendent Of the playground
supervisors and 1t proved to be a
very successful venture. The Deem
Der program will be worked out
along the same lines and will prob
ably be more advantageous to those
attending because the group will be
smaller in number. In the spring
there were some sixty in attendance.
This time there will only be forty
and more attention can be given to
individual problems of instructors.
Purpose
The purpose Of the institute is to
familiarize the instructors with
changes which have been made in
the state setup since the last ses-
sion in June and to hold open dis
cussions or problems which beset
them in Waterbury. 1t is expected
that several improvements will be
made for the winter WPA educa-
tional and recreational program as
a result Of this confab Of WPA in
Structors.

OMAN GUEST OF
NAUCATUCK CLUB
100000 of Million Grim
inals Under 10 Says
w. S. Devereaux

Naugatuck, Dec. About 100000
of the more than one million GRIM
inals in the United States are under
10 years of age and one out of every
five Is a mere child, w. s. Deveraux,
Oman who is connected with the
New York Office, said in a talk to
members of the Sarah Rogers chap
ter, Daughters Of American Revolu-
ton at the Congregational parish
house last night. Mr.. DevereauX,
who substituted for Major Rhea
Whitley when the latter was unable
to come, proved quite an interest
ing speaker.
There are IS murders committed
in this country every day and one
felonious crime perpetrated every 80
seconds in the United States, he told
the audience.
The three main handicaps to the
federal bureau Of investigation and
other governmental agencies are
lack Of funds, lack Of man power
and Of cooperation on the part Of
private citizens, he declared. In
spite Of these, the agencies do fine
work.
To become a Oman, the applicant
must have a high standard of in
telligence and must have had college
training. He must also have had
some training which will help him
in the work on which he is to be
used.
After passing physical and mental
exams, the applicants must go
through training period lasting
three and one-half months during
which they study federal statutes,
fingerprinting and chemistry, learn
the use Of firearms and spend part
of the time in a crime laboratory.

|CKES ASKS BIDS
FOR STEEL ORDER
Seeks Replacement for Dam
PiIing in Cancelled
Order.
Pv the Associated Press.

Pv the Associated Press.
Secretary Ickes today called for
new bids for sheet steel piling to re-
place that which was to have been
furnished for Imperial Dam on the
All-American Canal by the Jones &
Laughlin Steel Go. of Pittsburgh.
His action, the P. w. A. admins
traitor said, was taken after the In
land Steel Co. of Chicago and the
Carnegie Illinois Steel Corp. of Den
yer had refused to lower their pre-
vious bids to give the Government
the advantage of reduced freight
rates.
The $40,086 contract with Jones &
Laughlin was Cancelled by Ickes at
the request of the Labor Relations
Board, which had charged the COM
pany with diScharging several en-
ployes for union activity.
The two other companies had sub
mitted identical bids with Jones and
Laughlin for the ABB, $50 pounds of
sheet piling for Imperial Dam.
Ickes explained the new bids would
be opened on June 80.
To prevent holding up construc-
ton Of the dam, he said, the Denver
Reclamation Bureau Office has been
authorized to buy up to $4,000 worth
of steel in the open market to meet
"day-to-day needs"
Reclamation officials said Inland
and Carnegie-Illinois had offered to
reduce their bids on combination
rail-water basis. but that this was for
hidden by law since it was not speci-
fed in the original call for bids.
