Vacancies
 The local welfare department head said today she received word from the New Haven Oflce which definitely stipulated that when there happened to be requisition for new men for work relief on the WPA, veterans would have to go through the regulation investigation conducted in Waterbury by her de- partment.
 Upon receipt of the requisition" said Mrs. Verdon today, following the state WPAs verification that the man is on the state fund, we will submit him to our routine n- vestigation, set up a regular case record and send a certificate to the state WPA headquarters if the man is eligible, both physically and financially, for work relief"
 Wrong Impression
 Mrs. Verdon said that there were some men who had been under the mistaken impression that a listing on the state fund was sufficient to qualify them for immediate place. ments when such openings turned up in Waterbury. She also wished to have it made known this action on her part is not undertaken with any idea of stiffening regulations for veterans, but merely to clear up an unfortunate misunderstanding.

For the first time in a decade,

they'll be getting out an eve

There's only one thing to
worry about concerning those

TAX BILL WAITS
WHILE FUNDS
DWINDLE
Donovan Gives Data to
PaImisano for Fight
in House

Pointing out that the District
always has repaid its obligations,
the District Government today
defended its credit in support Of
it's request for authorization to
borrow from the Federal Treasury
to stave off the threatened local
financial crisis. The District tax
measure is caught in a parlia-
mentary jam in Congress and
funds for operating expenses are
dwindling.
The defense was made by Major
Daniel j. Donovan, District audi
tor, in q letter to Representative
Vincent L. Palmisano CD Of
Maryland, chairman of the House
District Committee. The infor-
nation was requested by the com.
mittee chairman as a weapon
when the Kennedy borrowing
resolution comes up again in the
House on Monday.
Borrowed In 1900
Reciting the past history Of Dis.
trict obligations, Major Donovan
pointed out that authorization to
borrow from the Federal Govern.
ment is not new thing, despite
the fact that in 1927 Congress
passed lew requiring the District
to operate on a pay as you 60"
basis.
In 1900, Major Donovan said,
Congress directed the Secretary
Of the Treasury to advance funds
to the District as they were
needed to meet general expenses
of the local government. AS q re-
suit of this authorization, the Dis.
trict, from 1902 to 1909, borrowed
$1,000 900 which was repaid with
interest at 2 per cent.
PWA Advances Cited
The auditor further pionted out
that more recently the District
was authorized to borrow $16,.
100000 under the Capper.C ramton
act to acquire park lands and
Fairgrounds. Only $4,322,000 Of
this sum was borrowed and all Of
it has been paid. In addition, he
said, Congress authorized the Dis
trict to borrow $1O,75O,00O from
the PWA for municipal projects,
including a sewerage disposal
plant and a new police court
building. OF this. $6,375, 900 was
borrowed, and this is bmeing re-
paid at the rate Of 100000 a
year.
Earlier this week the House re-
fused to pass the resolution intro
duced by Representative Ambrose
j. Kennedy CD, of Maryland,
author of the deadlocked tax bill,
authorizing the District to borrow
money until the new tax program
is in operation. Under terms Of
this resolution the Secretary of
the Treasury would be empowered
to fix a rate of interest not to eX-
coed per cent. Representative
PalmisSano hopes that Congress
will pass the resolution when he
brings it up on District day, on
Monday.

MILITARY ROAD
SALE ARGUED
AT HEARING
Proposal for Disposal
Of Highway Meets
Little Success

An attempt by Arlington county
officials to gain the approval OF q
House District subcommittee on q
proposal to permit the Govern
ment to sell the Military Road
crossing the Washington Hoover
Airport to Arlington county for 81
so the county could improve the
highway met with little success
today.
Representative Howard W.
Smith CD of Virginia led a dele
CATION Of Arlington county off
Gals in testifying before the sub
committee and pointed out that
the Secretary of War has stated
the department is willing TO
abandon the road.
Road in Bad Shape
He explained that the War De-
partment is not taking care Of the
road and as a result it has be-
come almost impossible. He said
this causes traffic between Wash
ington and Arlington county to
clog up other nearby roads.
Sam Solomon, manager Of the
airport, complained to the sub
committee that in order to con-
tinue in operation with any de-
gree of safety it is important that
the portion Of the road running
through the airport be closed
when planes are landing and tax
ing off. He added that if the
highway was turned over to the
county the Government could not
control traffic during take-offS
and landings as it does now.
Solomon related that he has pro
posed to Arlington county that If
Military Road is turned over to
the airport his company will agree
to build a substitute road nearby
at a maximum expense of SOS, 900.
This, however, was frowned
upon by the Arlington county
spokesman, who pointed out that
for $25, 900 the road could only be
of macadam surface and Is feet
wide. They contend that the road
should be at least % feet wide and
surfaced with concrete. They esti-
mate this would cost $4,000.
Delay Suggested
Repre- enta t i've R. Ewing
Thomson CD of Texas, chair
man of the subcommittee, sug-
gested that before taking action
on the matter it might be wise
to await the outcome Of the recon-
mendation Of the District airport
commission.
Solomon replied that even in
the event the Camp Springs site
should be approved by Congress
it would be at least q year or
two before the new airport could
be put into operation and that
meanwhile the w a S h n 6 ton
Hoover Airport would have to
be used. He added:
Regardless of what action
is taken ON the Camp Springs
site proposal, it will always
be necessary for Washington
to have a cIOse-in airport"
Thomson pointed out that
the Department of Agriculture
would be interested in any Solu-
ton of the controversy because
Of the departments experimental
farms near the airport, and that
the Department of Commerce
also had an interest in any action
which may be taken relating to
the airport. He said nothing
could be done by his Sub-com-
mittee on the matter at the
present time, but if Smith and
the Arlington county group
could reach an agreement with
Solomon and the Departments
of Agriculture and Commerce he
believed the action could be
speeded through Congress.
