 matter hinged on the decision of Mayor Hayes, it was explained as to whether he has the right to deny the license on legal grounds or on the grounds that public necessity does not require the station being set up at this time.
 Would Increase Hazards
 General arguments of those op- posed were to the effect that the residential aspect would be wiped out from the section and that traf- fic hazards would be increased.
 Referring to the claim that the residential aspect of the section would be injured, Mayor Hayes pointed out that there was a gen. eral laxness of interest on the part of Waterburians in general when public hearings were held prior to the adoption of the existing zoning laws. Opponents present ad- mitted ignorance of the restrictions governing the corner.
 Citizens Get Surprise
 Building Inspector Carlin pointed out that under the law any four story tenement building could be erected on the lot and that business places, such as stores and repair shops, could be placed in on the ground floor. Opponents were sur prised to learn this and such un- awareness of the zoning law brought forth Mayor Hayes explanation that many persons failed to attend hear ings when the local ordinance was in the course of preparation. His own street, he said, is in the busi- ness zone but he did not know this nntil after the law had been adopted
 Tn reserving decision Mayor Hayes said he would give the pro- ponents and opponents of the ap- plication every consideration pos aible. It is believed he will go over the situation with police officials on the subject of traffic hazards be- fore passing on the salzman peti- ton.

1. BEHIND THE SCENES WASHINGTON
COngressmen Cry for PWA Funds; Elections Coming ... Senate Saves Dignity by Passing Up Contempt Case of du Fonts Man.
.oY RODNEY DUTCHER-
Democrat Washington Correspondent

Washington, April 23.-The strong movement in congress to gum up the WPA continuation program by ear- marking for public works some &700 000,0 900 of proposed $1,500,- 100000 appropriation comes straight from the hearts of its promoters.
 Unborn babies in the form of thousands of fOndly imagined city halls, school buildings, hospitals, and sewer systems are crying for . right to exist, and the cries be- como particularly poignant in a year when every congressman has to run for renOmination and re- election.
 Those public works were prom ised, publicly bragged about by democratic congressman, and funds actually appropriated for them by congress. That's what makes it so hard when 8 members enemies at home yell, "So what?"
 Many Projects Stalled
 Town meetings were held, plans drawn, and bond issues voted after Congress thought it had ear marked $900,000,000 of the work relief fund for non-federal PWA 1oan-grant projects and $450, ,000,- 900 for housing projects.
 The whole PWA program was based on those figures-until Roosevelt cut them down to $33O,- 100000 and $1OO,OOO,OO0 respec- lively.
 About 5000 projects consequent 1y are still on tap ready for action If congressman who sponsored them can only touch the Treasury for them.
 PWA now claims to be employ ing, directly and indirectly, about SOO,000 people. This number will fall off sharply toward the end of the summer and dwindle to prob ably about 100000 by the first of the year.
 By election time the effect of the decline in PWA operations may be painfully obvious in the steel and cement industries.
 
 Senate Guards Its Dignity
 MT. Kurt Grunwald defied the Senate lobby committee and got away with it. He is field repre- sentative of the du Pont-financed Farmers Independence Council of America and refufsed to give the names of people he had visited in the middlewest.
 The committees decision not to bring Grunwald before the Senate fer contempt was due to strong desire not to make itself seem ri- diculOuS. GrunWald was small fry, and excessively vOluble, as we'll as belligerent.
 His irrevelant sallies in Q Ger man accent drew repeated laugh ter from the committee audience and to have hauled him seriously before the Senate would have been fatal to senatorial dignity and perhaps to the committee as well.
 Committee revelations that the du POnt family has been willing te give thousands of dollars to anyone who would set up an anti New Deal organization and give it . fancy name are serving as valuable Democratic propaganda.
 But from publicity standpoint it would seem that Chairman Hugo Black must be about to pull . big fish up on the witness stand. An internationally known Wall Street banker, who was down here last year to lobby against the Wheeler -Rayburn holding com- pany bill, IS distinct possibility for the honor.

about IS per cent last year, although
her world commerce and employment
showed no Improvement.
AUSTRIA made more progress last
year in cutting down her unemploy-
ment by the building of good roads to
encourage tourist traffic. The latter
increased 40 per cent in 1880 ana IS
becoming important in Austrlas eco
nomy. Industrial activity in heavy
goods and armament industries gam
ed sharply. Financially, however, Aus
tria is having hard-sleddlng.
SPAIN continues to suffer from the
lack of strong government. Declin-
ing commerce, industry and crops last
year only intensified the credit crisis
Of the government League sanctions
against Italy are increasing the de-
mand for SPANS important olive Oil
crop.
JAPAN's current upset is an indi-
cation of the growing restlessness de-
spite the fact that Industrial activity
has now reached a new all-time high.
Cheap labor, simple living standards,
and the depreciation of the yen have
given her industries a tremendous
boost during the depression. Unless
she watches her step, however, she
will find herself-just as Germany
and Italy-financially strapped.
CHINA's present financial crisis is
mainly the result of our foolish silver
purchase program. We boosted the
price of silver Cher monetary stand
ard) and thus automatically brought
on a serious deflation of prices and
business. japanese military aggres-
sion and industrial competition have
also contributed to China's current
problems.
ARGENTINA's drought last year
raised havoc with her chief crops
wheat and linseed-but it also con-
tributed to the price increase of these
crops. Under hte forced draft of high
protective tariffs, Argentine industry
has made good progress in the last
twelve months.
BRAZIL's coffe industry is con-
tinuing to improve. Her chief Difficult
ty arises from the shortage of foreign
exchange. Brazil's high-light of 1885
was tremendous increase in her cot
ton crop and shipments to
the obliging curtailment Of our own
cotton crop.
CHILE continued the recovery
which has been going on in most
Latin-American countries for the past
three years. Shipments of her prin-
cipal products-nitrate and copper
made good gains during the year.
Chile's big problem, like that of all
Latin-American countries, except Ar
gentina, is inability to balance the
public burget.
SUMMARY: Just as in the United
states, where business is eight per
cent above last March, most nations
show good gains over year ago. In
fact, in a few cases 1885 was the best
year since the World War. On the
other hand, this Improvement is lar
gely the result of heavier public Dor
rowings when the national debt real
ly should have been cut down rather
than increased. Nevertheless, bust
ness should continue to improve for
a few more years Eventually, how
ever, a receiver" must be appointed
for this grand old world of ours, cut
ting down debts, wiping out trade bar
riers, and giving every country fresh
start This can come about either
through utter collapse or through a
spiritual awakening.

~ TrapshootingS greatest show
" the grand American handi-
cap-went into dress re-
hearsal today as the Nations pre-
mier marskmen staged a 100-target
preliminary event built on the same
lines as the classic which climaxes
the thirty-seventh annual program
Friday.
Today's preliminary handicap and
tomorrow's grand American handicap
are exactly the same-and yet there
is the greatest difference in the world.
There is the same difference that pre-
walls between the Kentucky Derby
and any other race in which the same
horses are entered.
The marksmen, according to their
averages for the year on registered
targets, are handicapped by being
moved back from the traps. The
poorest shooters stand on the 16-yard
mark and the experts on the 25-yard
line, with the others scattered between.
No winner of the preliminary ever
has won the Grand American, which
is the top prize any shooter can annex.
Neither has any shooter won the pre-
liminary or the Grand American twice.
Ray zweiner of Blooming Prairie,
Mimi, is the defending preliminary
CHAMPION.

no thought of Minnesota losing four

of Minnesota losing even one game,

me bit.
I'll bet he gets so cents a week to
act as his dads personal agent of

Charles w. Paddock, the last white

IF Owens should stay in the anna
