lCKES RULES OUT
PWA LOBBYISTS;
NAMES MILLER
AIIotmentS to California
- Face Suspension

U.N.S) An irate attack on al
legged lobbying to push through
projects under the New Deals
three billion dollar spending pro
gram, was launched today by
Public Works Administrator Har-
old l.. Ickes.
Ickes declared Glenn E. Miller.
whom he accused Of contracting
Tor a fee to obtain a PWA grant
for Riverside, Cal, persona non
grata in the Public Works Admin
lStration."
ORDERS INVESTIGATION
' Further, Ickes ordered an in
Vestigation of all projects in
which Miller was repeatedly inter
oSted. He said he would suspend
allotments where it was proven
that Miller had received payment
from the applicants.
The action was taken follow
ing the suspension of the applica-
ton of Riverside after it was
charged that Miller had con-
tracted for $1,000 fee for
alleged services on a PWA sewer
project.
Ickes order demanded that an
PWA subordinate officers refer
directly to him any efforts on the
part of Miller to obtain informa-
ton on PWA projects. This ap-
piled to regional and field offices
as well as PWA headquarters
here.
PAYMENTS CHARGED
Investigation has developed
che fact that Miller obtained
payment from the towns of
Wasco and Newport Beach,
Cal, for services alleged to
have been performed by him
in connection with PWA prof.
ects," Ickes said. THE investi-
cation indicated he was paid
5000 by Wasco in connection
with docket for a sewer
system.
'At my direction the sum of
5000 has been deducted from
the grant due on this docket.
AT Newport Beach the records
indicate that out of its own funds
the city paid Miller $4,000 in
connection with a sewage dis
posal plant. There was no re-
lationship between the allot-
ments for these projects and &C
tiVities by Miller. Therefore, so
far as the PWA allotment is con-
cerned, the city of Newport
Beach has wasted $4,000 and
Wasco 5000 Of their taxpayers
funds" -..4
EIGHT PROJECTS INVOLVED
Repeating his mo lobbying"
warning to cities seeking PWA
ALLEGATIONS, Ickes revealed that all
action on eight California projects
now pending on PWA's books will
be held up until the investigation
shows whether Miller had any
connection with them.
Ickes said that lobbying is not
needed to obtain PWA grants nor
will it be permitted as it involves
a grave misuse Of public funds" )"

tight was not known.
