HIS
BUILDING SOON
TO Be FINISHED
Formal Opening Of $25,.
900 Structure Likely To
Be Held This Month

Work on the $4,000 colored
high school building and gymna-
SUM will be practically complet.
ed on Wednesday of this week,
and formal opening of the build
ing will probably be held later in
the month.
The building will not be en-
tirely completed this week, but
additional work will probably not
be done before the fall.
Plans are being made for the
formal opening of the building,
in which colored citizens. of the
city will take part, and will be
announced shortly.
The structure, one Of the finest
school buildings in the county, is
a WPA project, sponsored by the
city and school officials. 1t is a
frame building with brick and
concrete. foundation and all rooms
are on the ground floor. -.
1t contains four classrooms, ap-
proximately "a by 80 feet with
cloak rooms, toilets, showers and
dressing rooms. The four class
rooms are located on the front of
the building and the auditorium
and gymnasium, room ITO by
60. feet is at the rear. Much OF
the material used came from the
old high school gymnasium, but
additional material was supplied
by the city and through the WPA
grant.
A large basement affords ad-
ditional room, and plans are to es-
tablish later a workshop in the
basement. Heat will be supplied
by the old furnace from the city
gymnasium, and the heating plant
is expected to be installed next
fall.
The building is located on Ninth
avenue west and the ground con-
tains a four-acre playground in
addition to the building.

talo-G German Political Union Broached
WAGE. HOUR OPPOSITION IS
CRUMBLlNG; THINK SENATE
MAY APPROVE HOUSE. ACTION
Dies. 0'Connor Point to
"Illegaity'' Of House
Procedure on Bill .

WASHINGTON, May 9. (UP).
Opposition to the wage and hour
bigg crumbled today before a
drive oy the administration for
enactment Of labor standards leg
islation by this session of con
gress.
So effective has been the cam
paign for house consideration of
the bill that it was considered
likely that the senate will also APP
prove the measure.
Even threats of filibuster in the
senate by southern Democrats
were fading today.
No southern senator would so
much as indicate that he would
attempt to block the bill if the
house passed it.
Three senators who had been
considered probable. filibuster
leaders-Tom Connolly, D., Texas,
Walter F. George, D., Ga, and
Josiah w. Bailey, D., N. c., said
they knew of no attempt to or
ganize a filibuster. =,
The situation was attributed to
the inability of the senate OPP
ponents to lay responsibility OF
the bills failure on the house or
the American Federation of La
Dor which opposed the old house
measure.
Other factors were appearance
of sentiment among voters for the
principle of wage. and hour legls-
lation and President Roosevelt's
continued insistence for enact
ment of the bill.
Representative Martin Dies, d.,
Texas, one Of the little band Of
southern Democrats and Republi-
cans of the house rules committee
which kept the measure pigeon
holed until it was pried loose by
petition of 21S representatives,
last night said that the only is
sue now is whether the house will
be able to amend the bill into a
constitutional and workable
proposition"
He conceded passage of the
bill, when it reaches the floor
May 90, is certain" but last night
warned that it will head into a
stiff fight in the senate where
southerners also are irked over
failure of the bill to include diff
ferentials favoring the south.
Dies and Committee Chairman
John J. O'Connor, D., n. Y, who
voted to report the bill but who
did not sign the discharge petit
ton, said reconsideration is eli
legal" because such action must
be taken either on the same or
the following day after the or
iginal ballot.

ARMSEMbARCO
AGAINST SPAIN
MAY Be LIFTED
Roosevelt, Back Home, Re-
examines Ameri.
can Policy
CALLS CONFERENCE
WITH LIEUTENANTS

WASHINGTON, May 9. (UP)
President Roosevelt today re-ex-
amined Americas neutrality pol
icy with his congressional lieuten-
ants and Secretary OF State Cor
dell Hull.
The President met with house
and senate leaders at the White
House shortly after his arrival
here today from his seagoing va
cation in Atlantic waters.
Congressional leaders presented
to the President a summary Of the
legislative situation affecting neu-
trality as well as the status of tho
wage and hour, tax and general
recovery programs.
President Roosevelt returned to-
day to resume personal leadership
of New Deal forces strengthened
by recent political developments
but shaken by continued unem-
ployment and financial difficulties.
Mr.. Roosevelt arrived at 8 a. m.
from Charleston, s. c., where he
landed last night after an eight
day fishing vacation in the West
Indies aboard the U. S. S. Phila-
delphia.
It was believed that in his con-
ference with Secretary of State
Hull he would discuss the Nye
resolution to lift the arms embar-
go against Spain.
During 10 politically fateful
days of his fishing vacation, Flor
ida voters gave the administration
a whacking vote of confidence.
House members took that vote a.
q cue to revive the wages and
hours bill which southern Demo-
Gratis sought to scuttle but which
Mr.. Roosevelt insisted should pass.
The business curve tilted up
ward slightly during the week Of
his departure. But these gains,
including this first impressive leg
islative swing toward the New
Deal since the judiciary reorgan-
ization battle of 1887, were shad-
owed by farm belt and treasury
problems.
Although the tax bill, scheduled
for final approval this week, is ex-
pected to be enacted in about the
form that house-senate confer
ence has agreed upon, and the
wages and hours bill has a good
chance Of passage, there may be
spectacular, if unsuccessful, at
tempt to curb Mr.. Roosevelt's
control over ALLEGATIONS in the
s4,512,00O,000 lending spending
program. Republicans seek to de-
centralize the relief program.
Meanwhile, the house approprl-
atoms committee revealed admin
istration estimates that work re-
lief rolls may hit 100000 late
this year and cost $4,000, 900, OO0
instead Of $1,000, 100000. That
means that relief costs and the
lending spending program will
wreck the optimistic 1888 budget
estimates of four months ago.
Vice President John N. Garner,
House Majority Leader Sam Ray
burn, Senate Majority Leader Al
ben W. Barley and Speaker Will
liam B. Bankhead have been in
vited to Mr.. Roosevelt's legisla-
tive conference.

ECKENER WILL SEEK
HELIUM TO INITIATE
ANOTHER ZEPPELIN

WASHINGTON, May 9. (UP)
DR.. Hugo Eckener, German dirig-
ible expert, arrived here yester-
day to seek authorization from
President Roosevelt to purchase
10, 100000 cubic feet of helium
to initiate a new German Zeppel-
in, successor to the Inflated Hin
denburg.
Eckener's trip follows the an
nounced intention of Secretary of
Interior Harold L. Ickes to pro-
hibit shipment of the gas to Ger
many on grounds that the amount
requested is of military import
ance" and hence its sale would vi
olate the 1897 helium act.
Ickes has remained adamant in
his stand and it was believed that
only direct instructions from the
White House could swerve him.
But there were no indications
that Mr.. Roosevelt would inter-
vene when he returns from his
sea-going vacation today.

DESPITE GOVERNMENT
The amazing development of
aviation in the United States has
been achieved in spite of, rather
than because of, governmental en-
couragement. Various foreign gov
ernmentS have done far more to
support and encourage the build
ing up of aircraft concerns than
our Government has done.
The public will be glad to learn
that the industry now looks hope
fully for a greater measure Of
Washington cooperation.
That this industry, so pro-
foundly vital to our national secur-
ity, needs every feasible encour-
agement is made plain by the I'M
satisfactory financial results ex-
perienced by leading air lines. It
has been unusual for them to re-
port reasonable profits.
PROSPECTS FRIGHTENING
The picture is given this column
by President w. A. Patterson, of

"In spite of substantial losses
incurred by the principal air
lines during the first half of
the year, the prospect in air
transportation is Frightening.
