Local Persons
Confer AT
Phoenix

For the purpose of conferring
with Senator James A. Harrison
and Representative Gordon Far
ley in regard to Senate Bill No. 16.
a delegation of local citizens mo-
tored to Phoenix Wednesday eve
ming and returned Thursday night
Making up the delegation were E.
S. Edmonson, secretary of the Santa
Cruz County Borad of Social Sc
curity & Welfare; r. T. Frazier,
chairman of the Board of Super
visors; G. B. Wilde, president of the
Chamber of Commerce; and Phil
easily, county WPA director.
Senate Bill No. 16 provided for an
appropriation for WPA sponsorship
funds but the bill was indefinitely
postponed Thursday by the Senate,
in other words, it was killed.
The special session of the legis-
lature, now under way, was called
for the purpose of creating funds
for WPA projects and those appro-
priations had to be made prior to
October 1st in order to obtain fed
eral participation.
All of the WPA appropriation
bills which have been presented SO
far have been passed. The attitude
of the senate was that due to the
fact that Senate Bill No. 16 was not
a PWA appropriation it had no
proper place on the Senate calen-
dar at this time and could just as
we'll be considered at the regular
session in January.

Both wires were night letters and

Jones made the contents of his

Sunday for Mondays session of the
state Democratic committee.
The wire to Kerby read, he said:
Hope reports in evening papers
(in Los Angeles) that you have an
nounced as an independent candi-
date for governor are not true. In
my mind it will spell the doom of
your political career and cause fur
ther factional turmoil in our party
in Arizona. Hope you will give 100
per cent support to Jones, who won
the nomination"
Kerby SO far has not made pub

Kerby said Saturday that petit

Curb Spending Program

CONGRESSIONAL and fiscal lead
~ ers were called to the White
House by the President to consider
his plan for a billion and half
dollar public works program and
a like amount for unemployment
relief through the WPA. These funds
together with the liz billion dollars
congress recently authorized the
Reconstruction Finance corporation
to loan to business, would give the
administration Az billion dollars to
fight the depression in the coming
fiscal year.
Mr.. Roosevelt first talked with
Vice President Garner, Senator
Barley, Speaker Bankhead and
Representative Rayburn, and it was
reported that they stood out against
the contemplated spending pro-
gram, Garner being especially Wig
orous in his language.
The President, it was said,
seemed willing to compromise and
the four leaders went away hopeful
they would not be called upon to at
tempt to push through at this ses-
sion any of the radical schemes sug-
gested by some Of the more ex-
IRENE administration advisers.
A second conference was then
held with other congressional lead
ers and with Harry L. Hopkins, Act
ing Budget Director Daniel Bell,
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, and Chairman Marri-
ner S. Eccles of the federal reserve
board.
Senator Glass and Representative
Woodrum were present and pre-
pared to argue against the $4,000
10000 plan. To their surprise the
discussion was confined almost
wholly to the subject of work relief.

Railway "cour+" Proposal

III OW to save the important rail-
II ways from bankruptcy was the
subject of conferences at the White
House and of deep study by the
President. He rejected the sugges-
ton of an outright government SUBJ
sidy, and then adopted and offered
for legislative action the plan of Gre
ating special unit with judicial or
quasi-judicial powers to speed up
voluntary reorganization of the car
riers and solve other of their prob
lens. The unit may take the form
of a special court or board within
the interstate commerce commits
sion.
This plan was part of report
from committee of three mem
bers of the interstate commerce
commission, which report Mr..
Roosevelt laid before congress. He
did not make specific recommended
tons but asked for "some immedi-
ate legislation" and minated he
thought any long term program
should provide for incorporation of
all executive agencies dealing with
transportation in one department.

Hook an Old Fashioned Rag Rug

OF ALL rag rugs the hooked
~ type is the most fascinating
and economical. A rug hook, such
as may be purchased in notion
and fancywork departments, and
burlap a little larger than your
finished rug are the essentials.
Most rug hookers also use a
frame of Stats bolted together at
the corners. They stretch the bur-
lap over the frame and tack it..
Some like rather large station
airy frame. Others use small
one and many hooked rugs are
made without any frame at all.
Here is a quaint old rug pat
tern that you may mark off on
your burlap with yardstick and
pencil. The numbers indicate the
colors used for the original rug
now more than a hundred years
old. The finished rug measures
26 by "a inches. Allow two inches
at all edges for hens. Overcast
the edges, then mark the solid

hem allowance; then the large

vote, and the Nazi leaders all were
jubilant, and with reason. They
said the demonstration of German
unity showed it was time to liberate
"our Sudeten German friends in
Czechoslovakia' and that they were
ready to obey Hitler's orders blind
ly.
1t was forecast in Berlin that Hit
Ter would proceed at once to expand
and modernize the Austrian army
and strengthen Austria's frontier de-
lenses. And Vienna believed the
anti-Jewish program would be in
tensified.
There was a rumor that Austria
would soon cease to be an entity
and would be re-christened Osmark,
or eastern march or boundary of
the new Germany.
Besides voting on the Austro-Ger-
man union, the electorate chose a
new reichstag, which was hand
picked by Hitler. German and Aus
trian citizens throughout the world
voted on the annexation, some cast
ing their ballots on German steam
ers outside of the three-mile limits
of foreign lands. Jews were not
allowed to 60 to the polls.

diagonal lines across the large
squares as shown. Use wool rags
if possible and cut the strips not
wider than one-half inch. Hold
the strip against the wrong side
of the burlap and pull loops of it

hook as shown. Short strips are
as useful as long. Just pull the
ends through and clip them.
