WORK TO START
ON ; SHIPS

Construction of the three re-
naming vessels of the 1885 build
ing program today was allocated to
Navy yards by order Of Secretary
of the Navy Swanson.
One destroyer is to be built at
the Norfolk Navy Yard, another at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard and
construction of one submarine
goes to the Mare Island Navy
Yard.
The three vessels were included
in the appropriation for the fiscal
year 1887 calling for IL destroyers
and six submarines.
This construction completes
the 1896 building program with
the exception of two battleships
recently approved by President
Roosevelt. Bids for construction
on one Of these battleships in a
private yard are to be advertised
March IS. The other, presumably,
will be built in a Navy yard. Both,
according to Secretary Swanson,
are to cost approximately $50, ,0O0,-
900 each and their keelS will be
laid about June /.

HOUSE GROUP
PLANS TOUR
OF CITY

Indicating the thoroughness
with which he intends to conduct
the hearings on the District ap.
preparation bill. Representative
Ross Collins Cd, of Mississippi,
chairman of the House District
appropriations subcommittee, an
nounced today that his subcom'
mittee will make tour of the en-
tire city previous to the beginning
of hearings on the local money
bill.
He has sent a letter to the Dis
trict Commissioners asking that
that body furnish transportation
for the subcommittee next Wednes-
day.
Quick Action
The Mississippian expects that
it will take about four days for
the subcommittee to complete the
inspection trip, and then he in
tends to get under way immediate
ly-probably a week from Monday
with the hearings on the Dis
trict appropriations bill.
Prospects are at present that the
District will fare we'll under the
craftsmanship of Representative
Collins. who is sympathetic to,
ward the city-a situation that
has not presented itself on the
House side for years.
According to present indica.
tionS, when the District appro'
priationS subcommittee reports the
District measure to the House it
will carry a recommendation for
Federal contribution of between
$4,500,00O and $6,500,000-consid
erably more than was recon-
mended by the Presidents Com
mittee on Fiscal Relations.
To Ignore Report
AS a matter of fact, the rec
concentrations which are con
tanned in that report apparently
will be virtually ignored by the
appropriations group, and the sub
committee will conduct its hear
ings and make its recommends
tions just as though the Fisca
Relations group had never made
any study and report.
This is due partially to the fact
that Representative Collins was
member of the MapeS committee
which several years ago made
detailed study of fiscal relation!
between the District and the Fed
eral Government and made rec
concentrations of its own-few o.
which were carried out.

lenge all comerS.
Unlike other law guardians in
the Capital. the park police must
practice on their own time and

club charging nominal dues. Pvt.
j. A. Henricksen was selected
president and Pvts. w. r. Lutes
and w. E. Freeman were named

drill room for the National
Guard in the new buildings. The
Secretary assured him this would
be taken care of.
Secretary Ickes said that on the
cost proposition, he thought the
auditorium should be built by
Federal funds with an oppor-
tunity offered to Washington bust
ness men to contribute heavily to
the proposition.
Views on Sports
The Secretary disapproved of
any plan to turn the building over

MONEY PARLEYS
WITH NICARAGUA,
CUBA STARTED
U. S. Seeks Stability In
Western World
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

The United States has embarked
on a broad program to develop
international monetary stability
among the nations Of North and
South America.
This was revealed today by q
high Treasury official, following
publication Of letter from Acting
Secretary Wayne C. Taylor to Rep
reSentative Dirksen (R), Illinois,
which reaffirmed this Govern.
ment's willingness to join in new
currency sterilization efforts.
START CONFERENCES
AS part Of the ADMINISTRATOR
plan to promulgate financial
agreements, in the Western HerniS.
phere, the Treasury has started
conversations with Nicaragua ana
Cuba. Monetary discussions with
other Latin American nations are
expected to follow.
During the initial talks with
fiscal authorities Of Nicaragua and
Cuba the Treasury has offered adj
vice which might be used In the
solution Of some Of their current
money problems.
1--WE are giving these coun-
tries information which may be
utilized in ringing about
smoother financial relations with
the United States and other ma
tions," the officials said.
FIGHTS EXCHANGE BAR
In the case Of Nicaragua, the
United States is DESTROYS Of elimi-
mating exchange barriers, which
have developed through blocked
currency.
It was emphasized that while
the Treasury desires financial
compactS with Latin-American
neighbors, the Administration will
refuse to participate in o general
economic and monetary confer.
Soma months ago, the Pan
ence.
American Union asked this Gov.
eminent whether it would be will.
ing to join in such q meeting.
The Treasury, it was learned
shortly will announce its refusal.
In turning thumbs down on q
monetary coference Of Western
Hemisphere countries, the United
States will reiterate its policy Of
prefering to sit odwn h bi-lateraI
conferences.
Recently, the Treasury entered
a financial pact with Brazil under
which it agreed to Seel that collnp
try 500, 100000 Of gold.
The Washington times., 1937-08-20
COSTS
RISE FURTHER

Living costs in 80 large cities in
the United States increased 0.9
per cent the quarter ended June
is, 1887. according to Poor's Stock
Reports. A rise took place on all
items with the exception Of fuel
and light, which dropped, due
largely to seasonal factors.
rents increased "a per cent,
household goods % per cent,
clothing Ia per cent, and food
IL per cent" the report states.
THE rise in rents should serve
as further stimulus to the coun-
try's building program. Increased
costs Of food were due largely to
higher prices for meats, particu.
larry beef, and for fruits and
vegetables.
The largest increases in rents
have taken place in two cities in
which the steel industry plays a
relatively important part. Rents
rose 1913 per cent in Pittsburgh
and SO per cent in Chicago. IN
doubleday. there is a shortage of
necessary housing facilities to
take care of the increased num-
Der Of laborers required to main
tain the present production rates
in heavy industry"
