w. P. A. HUNTS JOBS
FOR PENNSYLVANIA
Number Of Projects Needed to
Keep Workers Busy Is
Problem.
BY the Associated Press

=
HARRISBURG, Pa, March 3.-The
w. p. A., hard pressed for enough
tasks to keep it's increased number of
workers busy in Pennsylvania, reached
into its backlog of approxed projects
today. and wondered how much longer
they would last.
1T Keeps us stepping to get prof.
ects," said State Administrator J.
Banks Hudson as he searched through
the files for jobs for an additional
43 600 men he has been ordered to put
to work in March. That order brought
his total pay roll to 100000 men.
Mr.. Hudson said the difficulty in
finding work for the otherwise unem-
ployed was that communities either
had reached the saturation point of
public works that the w. P. A. can do,
or did not have the money to finance
them.
Mr.. Hudson said there We're 5000
approved projects in the file. but onlv
about half of them would get started
because many of the communities
which originally sponsored them have
since run out of funds.
I'VE are looking for new projects all
the time" Hudson said.

ganization bill would confer extra
ordinary power" on the Executive,
Senator Bailey, Democrat, of North
Carolina today carried on Senate op-
position to the measure. He began:
This legislation deals with pro-
posals of extraordinary power to be
transferred to the Executive over:
"133 independent Offices and bu.
reaus.
1865 900 civil service employees.
'The responsibility of the Congress
for the spending and accounting of the
public funds.
Partisan Spending Feared.
The creation of cabinet position
which will tend to give permanent
partisan control over all welfare
spending"
1T Is of far-reaching import" he
continued. 1T is not personal, but
relates to the presidency and the Con-
gress.
IT is the power over 1873 bureaus
and activities to kill or make alive"
Referring again to the new Depart
ment Of Welfare included in the bill.
Mr.. Bailey asked:
Shall we create political depart
ment to administer relief and other
general welfare expenditures. and so
abandon all hope Of separating relief
spending from partisan politics?"
Senator Bailey is the author of a
separate resolution to bring about con-
troll of such activities by bipartisan
committee.
Agrees Bureaus Too Numerous.
Mr.. Bailey said ne agreed with the
argument of proponents that there are
too many Government bureaus.
There are good many Of them
floating around in the armament of
government like comets" he added.
but is that any reason why we should
relinquish the responsibility we as
sumed when we took the oath of
office?"
The Senator said if there was a
prospect of substantial savings he
might be willing to transfer reorgani-
zation power from Congress to the
Executive, but he asserted there Is no
such promise given in support of the
pending bill.

Robins and Hearts Lose League Tests By Con=

Victories for the Gents of the Hill and Baldwin Preps in their contests at the Washington Park Community house last night left the league standing practically as it was, inso- far as the leaders are concerned.
 With Joe Bowey scoring Il points and proving himself a whirlwind on defense as well, the Gents moved ahead of the Robins in the early moments of play. The final score was 26-15, with the Robins never coming within striking distance. Joe Rossi's long shots kept the Robins in the game.
 Although they played hearty enough game, the Sacred Hearts re- mained in the non-victorious class by losing to the Baldwin Props, 39- 21. The first half saw the Props leading by only three points, but in the second half Young Monti and Bill Mccormack went to town to outdistance the fading Hearts.
 The capacity house which wit messed last nights games is aware of the importance of the two games scheduled for Friday night of this week. Rocking of intersectional strife will be the game between the Welles and Tribunes, while the other game will show the Reymond Hillies against Community Club.

BOSTON SOUR ON BOX ING AFTER REGENT MATCH
Mccoy and Lenglet Gave No ActiOn-McGOWan
 Sees Quinn
BY ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff Correspondent,

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, Jan. 11-As far as Boston is concerned, heavyweight boxing is back i'll the moth balls today New England heavyweight champion Al Mccoy of Dorchester and Andre Lenglet of Paris didn't help the sit- uation any after 10 rounds of what nearly amounted to shadow boxing last night,,..
 This was supposed to be the battle that would revive interest locally in the big fellows. but for at least seven of the 10 rounds, the 1920 customers did 8 lot of yawning. |. |. |. Mccoy got an unanimous decision. |. but the best he deserved was a draw. ...
 On the basis of what Mccoy and Lenglet showed last night, you can just forget about them as title threats. In the first place, Mccoy is not natural heavyweight. |. rather he is a light-heavy. |. ;. So in order to make the necessary weight to fight against the super dreadnaughts, he is forced to carry a lot of excess poundage that isn't muscle. .. A guy isn't exactly effec- tive with rolls of suet ripping over his belt. =.
 Lenglet is big gangling fellow whose arms are too long for his 1 own good. ... what power he may have in those arms is useless against an inf1ghter-his elbows get in his way.
 Boston hasn't seen a really good heavyweight fight in so long it prob- ably has forgotten what one would ook like and to think that this is the town that gave the heavyweight boxing world such outstanding fig ures as John L. Sullivan, Jake Kill rain and Jack Sharkey. 70 tenn pore! o Morse!. It..
 Though Frank McGowan, the belting beauty form New Haven, has been declared a free agent by the Boston Bees, he's scheduled to have 8 chat with President Bob Quinn today. Frankie is said to have offers from three or four clubs, but wants to talk things over with Quinn before he makes any decis- ions. .McGowan, you will remem- Der, attempted major league come back with the Bees last season :. the effort, however, was spoiled by two serious operations. ...
 The management of the New Ha- ven arena awards $10 to the player turning in the best performance ir each Int-Am Hockey league game between the Eagles and their riva cam. . |. A jury of sports writers de. cides who shall get the sawbuck. ..
 Boston sports promoters could dt worse than schedule the return Harvard Dartmouth basketball gam, in the Garden or arena here after what happened in Hanover, N. H. the other night Despite the linn ited space of the Dartmouth gym. nasium, 300 packed the place to set a super thriller that was tied dur ing IA stages of the game. A few games like that here and the city that doesn't go big for basketball would be storming the gates.
