BURLESQUE FACES
CRISIS IN GOTHAM
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 30.--Under
scathing fire by a united front OF
New York clergymen. IA Manhattan
and Brooklyn salons de strip
otherwise known as burlesque thea
ters-awaited the zero hour" at mid
night tonight to learn whether their
licenses will be renewed
Seemingly the strip-tease "art,"
which transformed the fading glory
OF Forty-second streets legitimate
theater era into a blazing lane OF
catch-penny torso exhibitions, was
doomed.
License Commissioner Paul Moss,
after a two-day hearing to air the
pros and cons of the f1esh-baring pro-
fession, declined to announce his
ultimate decision, but remarked omi-
nously:
Il am satisfied all burlesque Is
essentially alike. I am also satisfied
that l have the power to refuse to
issue the new licenses"
Impetus to the clergy's move to
drive burlesque from the city came
from Patrick Cardinal Hayes, who
denounced the fad which catapulted
Gypsy Rose Lee into the "Follies," as
a $40 attraction, as "disgraceful and
pernicious."
Swift police action followed the
cardinals letter TO Commissioner
Moss. In Brooklyn, where the strip
performances have aroused perhaps
more indignation than in blase Man
haitian, police raided three "burley-
cue" houses and arrested IL of the
girl "disrobing experts" and the man
ayers on charges Of indecent per-
formance.
All were released on $500 bail, pro-
Vided by the theaters, and ordered to
appear Tor arraignment today.
In brstling defense of strip tease.
Attorney Jacob /, Goldstein, represent
ing several Of the theaters, protested
against charges that the shows incited
sexual crimes and depravity.
Il disbelieve these stories about
young men turning bad because OF
burlesque shows" he told Commits
sioner Moss, during the hearing
There were Bluebeards and Henry
VI1.s long before there was any bur-
lesque"
Even IS the fate Of the "A existing
burlesqueries neared its climax, three
new theaters applied TO Commissioner
Moss for licenses-indicating that

Grants Are Spurned BY
Local Governments
on Ne1U Basis.
BY the Associated Press.

The Public Works Administration
which has handed out more than So
00,000,000 with comparative ease, re-
vealed today that it still has $3.50
100000 no one seems eager to accept,
Since the administration adopted a
new requirement that P. w. A. money
be spent almost exclusively for relief
labor, local governments have re-
fused almost unanimously to accept
any grants on that basis.
P. w. A. Administrator Ickes said
there have been 801 such proposals
IS expressions Of interest, one or two
acceptances and a stable number of
objections.
Sponsors have difficulty in getting
skilled labor from relief rolls" Ickes
explained today.
The money isn't exactly going beg
ging," other officials said. The peo-
pie want it to build projects with, but
they don't seem to want to use relief
labor"
The general rule is that the Cow
ernment will pay the relief wage nav
roll, plus IS per cent of that amount
as a bonus for overhead. It was
laid down to reduce relief rolls, off,
cials said.
