Home instruction
Project Approval
Is Expected Today
Letter From President
Is Waited for Sturt
Of Teaching Course

w. P A. officials are expecting to
receive approval from the President
today of their home instruction
project for children unable to at
tend regular school.
Mrs. Mary Steele, District w. P. A
director of the division of education
and recreation and head of the pro-
posed project, said it had been ap-
proved by both Federal w. P. A.
Ofncials and the Budget Bureau and
that the presidential letter of ap-
proval should come today.
More than 300 applicants for the
teaching jobs have already applied,
she said, but most of them are not
certified for w. p. A. work. Although
a sufficient number of unemployed
colored teachers have been found
on w. P. A. rolls to instruct the COL
ored children affected by the project,
not one of the seven white teachers
needed for the work has been found,
she said. The necessary teachers
will probably be shifted from another
w. P. A. education project.
The project is designed to provide
instruction for 2O9 children whose
condition confines them to their
homes. Although the actual opera
ton cannot get under way until the
project is approved by the President,
teachers are being interviewed and
everything has been put in readiness
so there will be a minimum of delay
In starting the instruction after the
President gives his approval.

Absentee Voters Here
Are Given Warnino

The Democratic Absentee Voters
Bureau, deluged with inquiries from
persons who have not yet mastered
the formula for this kind of voting,
reminded the public again today
that early headlines are set in all
States.
The bureau called particular at
tention to the absentee voting by
New Workers. New York ballots
must be on file with the county
boards of election by noon next Fri
day. 1t was previously enormously
stated that New York ballots must
be mailed by noon of November 4.
The marking of absentee voters
ballots presents some variations
worthy OF note. New York and
Nebraska ballots must be marked
with black pencil only; the Cali
fornia ballot may be marked either
with ink, indelible or black pencil;
the Indiana ballot with ink or any
colored pencil.
To meet the demand for ballots,
the District Bank Building. 1406 G
street NV, has made the main
lobby of the first floor available
to the Voters Bureau from 4:30 to
9 pm. each evening until after
election.

With Woman
Breodwinners

Washington has more women
"breadwinners" than any other city
in the country, Mrs. Mary Steele,
director of the Women's and Pro-
fessional Division of the w. p. A.,
told the annual conference Of the
Womens Trade Union League yes
terday at the E street Y. w. c. A.
At the present time, she said,
3,119 women enrolled on local w.
P. A. projects are women. No woman
is certified for w. p. A. unless she
can prove she is the sole support of
her family. she added.
Although no current figures are
available as to the number of
women supporting their families
here, she said, the 1890 census shows
that Of 244,000 families, 5000 were
supported by women. The depres-
sion years have increased this per-
centage, she pointed out.
Since the inception of the w. p. A.
about 10000 women have been en-
ployed here on w. p. A. rolls, she
told the league. Many of them have
married wage-earners while thou
sands of others have returned to
private industry.
The league passed resolutions IA
voring the use of relief funds to sup
plement w. p. A. work where wages
do not support families and also to
supplement unemployment compen-
sation.

1900 Polish Jews
Fate Hinges Upon
Government Talks
Accord Between Reich
And Polond to Fix
Their Residence
Ey the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Oct. 31-Approximatel tely
% 900 Polish Jews are awaiting de-
tails of an agreement between the
German and Polish governments
which will determine their future
residence.
Some already have been deported
to Poland. The Jewish Relief Com
mittee in Warsaw estimated 1900
had reached Polish soilJ
The great number, all resident in
Germany until Friday, still are
somewhere in camps, barracks or
prisons along the German Polish
border to which they were hastily
shipped by Germany after a round
up by police and storm troopers.
Agreement was reported near Sun
day and some of the deported Jews
started back to Germany. A train
load of TOO that had been held at the
border since Saturday night was
returned to Munich.
Germany started the deportations
because OF new Polish citizenship
regulation, requiring certification
OF all Polish passports issued abroad
Germany feared, officials said, that
the thousands of Polish Jews resid-
ing in Germany were about to lose
their Polish citizenship under this
regulation and thus become subjects
without a country.

DIR. Smith, speaking to an esti-

and William H. Collins, former As
sistant United States attorney and

Maj. Ernest Brown, superintend-
ent OF police, and detachment of

In the colorful array were cadets
from st. Johns College. religious
communities of Catholic University,
Boy Scout troops, a group of Dis
trict flremen, uniformed bands, altar
boys. choir boys and pages in vest

Gather Not to Boast
ut is necessary when so many
Catholic men parade and rally to
allay the fears of troubled minds by
telling them what your organization
and demonstrations are not" DR..
Smith declared. Activities of the
society are not intended to be
blatant and offensive advertising of
the numerical and religious strength
of the Catholic Church. - You

The speaker said such a rally
would be impossible without rioting
and bloodsned in Berlin. Moscow,
Mexico City, Vienna or Barcelona.
"Egoistic dictators." he asserted,
have assumed the prerogitives of
the Almighty and have denied men
whose families helped make their
nation great all opportunity to rem
der tribute to the inspiration of
their patriotism-their belief in

New Lows Are Expected
To Be in Shape for
Signing This Week
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, Oct 31.-Premier Edouard
Daladier called the first of a series
of cabinet meetings today to draft
decree laws which political sources
expected would exact heavy sacri-
fees from rich and poor alike in an
effort to solve Frances financial
problem. The cabinet was scheduled
to meet at S pm. moon. E. S. t..
With blank check from the gov
erning Radical Socialist party in
his pocket to do what he would with
Frances financial, economic and So
clal lie for two weeks. M. Daladier
was expected to have his DEGREES
ready for President Lebruns S sigma
ture before the end of this week.
Begins Consultations.
The premier returned last night
from Marsellle. where he won the
approval of his party's national con-
Ventlon for his shift away from the
Peoples Front toward conservatism
and began consultations Immediately
at the war ministry on his new pro-
gram.
Because of the secrecy in which
ne and his ministers worked, extra
ordinary rumors circulated in politi-
cal and financial quarters that the
program would include measures to
redistribute wealth by capital levy,
high inheritance taxes and CONVEX
sion of government bonds.
Although the decree powers given
to M. Daladier until November Is
were limited by promises the Pre-
mler made to the Socialists to get
their support. some political observ-
ers expressed the belief he might
ignore these promises.
Encouraged to Ignore Left.
The denunciation of Communists
by the Radical Socialist convention
and the rightist trend in the recent
senatorial elections were said by
some observers to have given M.
Daladier courage to turn his back
on the leftist Peoples Front which
has marked the direction of the
French government since 1886.
