budget, and also should be read in
conjunction with other special re-
ports, such as the report Of the
Great Plains Committee, which

in q few days.
Six-Year Period
May Be Revised.
The National Resources Com.
mittee submits a six-year program.
based on selection and priority Of
public works. The period OF six
years Is arbitrarily chosen, and
can, Of course, be made to fit into
annual future appropriations made
by the Congress.
The report also contains recon-.
mendations on the timing of pub
lie works and divisions Of costs in
their relation to necessary organi-
Zation of future continued PLAN
ming. have already referred to
this in my message relating TO the
reorganization of the executive
branch Of the Government.
As an example Of the kind Of
reservoir Of projects constituting
the six-year program. a drainage
basin study Is included in the re-
port. This summary list Of projects
involving the use of water Is not
to be regarded as fixed or final. as
the report itself notes, but rather
indicates a great forward step In
the development of the planning
process, considering not one project
alone, but the relationships between
a great group of projects dealing
with water use and control.
Through the formulation and
annual revision OF a program of
all types Of construction, revision
and adoption Of the program by
Congress and appropriations under
regular budgetary procedure, timed
in part in relation to economic
needs we can provide for the orderly
development of our resources and
the provision Of needed facilities for
our people.

quick approval of the relief fund to

Bone, Democrat, of Washington that
funds for the unemployed be in
creased by more than S400, 100000.

The text Of President Roosevelt's
message to Congress transmitting a
report from his National Resources
Board follows:
During the depression, we have
substantially increased the facil-
tiles and developed the resources
of our country for the common
welfare through public works and
work relief programs. We have
been compelled to undertake ac-
tual work somewhat hurriedly in
the emergency. Now 1t is time to
develop a long-range plan and
policy for construction-to provide
the best use of our resources and
to prepare in advance against any
other emergency.
In q previous message have
suggested a permanent planning
agency under the Chief Executive
In order that, among other things.
all public works proposals may
filter from the many individual
departments and bureaus to a CEN
tral planning place and thence TO
the President.
Suggests Submitting
Lists Of Projects.
I have also suggested to the
Congress that following this course
Of planning the President will an
nually submit to the Congress q
list Of projects which have been
studied and approved and. at the
same time, inform the Congress.
through the budget, Of the total
amount of Federal funds. which in
his Judgment. should be appro-
priated for public works during
the following fiscal year.
The list Of public works sub
mitted by the President in the
budget message, would, Of course.
be wholly advisory. for it is within
the discretion of the Congress to
eliminate projects from this list.
to alter the scope of projects or
to add other projects.
The report of the National Re-
sources Committee on public works
planning, which I submit today,
should, Of course. be read in con-
junction with the recommends.

publican.

Bishop James Cannon, jr., was
quoted as saying he would go to jail
rather than disclose recipients Of anti
Smith campaign money in Virginia in
1928, as a jury in District Court con-
tinued trial today Of the bishops
$500, 900 libel suit against Representa-
tive George H Tinkham, Republican.
OF Massachusetts,.
The testimony was read before
Justice Jennings Bailey from the
transcript of Bishop Cannon's criminal
trial several years ago, when he was
acquitted of conspiring with his secre-
tary, Miss Ada Burroughs. to violate
the corrupt practices act
The testimony was given by Frank
B. Dunford, Virginia Republican, who
handled thousands Of anti-Smith cam
peign funds In Virginia for Bishop
Cannon.

in 1880 that Cannon was shameless
violator" of the corrupt practices act.

contributed by e. c. Jameson OF New
York, is the basis Of Bishop Cannon's
libel suit.
Dunfords testimony showed he dis
bursed many thousands Of dollars in
Virginia for the anti-Smith Demo-
Gratis, Of which Bishop Cannon was
chairman. He said that about the
time Of the Senate inquiry into Bis
hop Cannon's activities in the 1928
campaign, the Southern Methodist
churchman said at q meeting in Dun
ford's home that he preferred i'm
prisonment to divulging names OF
Virginians who had received money
for aiding in the drive to defeat Al
fred E. Smith. The testimony made
reference to "a matter of honor" said
to have been involved.
Dunford's testimony at the previous
trial was admitted in evidence by JUS
tice Bailey because Of the inability OF
the witness himself to attend the
trial today. Bishop Cannon also has
been absent. due to illness.
The Dunford deposition is designed
to show the jury that Bishop Cannon
was not obliged by law to report GER
tain campaign funds expended only
in Virginia.
Gross Of Cannon by
proxy was completed yesterday after
noon. McNeill advised the court late
yesterday he might be able to con-
clude his presentation Of the bishops
case today. Roger J. Whiteford. Tink-
hams attorney, said he would try to

FASHION
BY MAE,
SMART HATS

Alverno is believer in the i'm
portant part played by hats this
season. Proof that she regards them
as one of the most potent factors
IN spring wardrobes is the atten-
ton she has given them.
Hats ranging from the pert to
the dramatic are featured and in
all instances are created in rela-
tion to the costume, as any good
hat is.
One of these, notable for color
combination is flat toque of jade
green straw which is draped in four
tones of chiffon, fuchsia, char
treuse, purple and water lily pink,
the latter forming veil long en-
ough to be worn close about the
chin and fall over one shoulder.
This is worn with a semi-formal
tunic dress of jade green crepe with
Metropolitan news., 1937-02-27

an interesting finish to the tunic,
which is bloused under just above
the knees.
She thinks that the definite
ly lower crown in mist hats is due
not only to the shortening of day.
time skirts, but the tendency to
brushed up' hair as we'll. This
fashion seen on many smart heads,
she prophesies, will have further in
fluence on hats as the tendency
grows to build the average couture
higher, via modified versions of the
old pompadour. The current IAN
gel rolf fad is an instance.
This influence is seen in dimin-
utive, square-crowned sailor of
navy blue straw that stems from
the pompadour age. Trimming at
center front consists of two round
puffs of tiny forget-me-nots in two
shades of lighter blue. From these
cyclamen colored velvet ribbon
passes through the crown of the
hat to tie in a bow at the back.
This hat enlivens a travelling suit
of navy blue silk with fitted bodice,
and circular peplum.
