FREEDOM FROM SCANDALS

For generations it has been claim
ed that the auditing and checking
system of the Government is so per-
feet that a defaIcation would be sure
to be discovered in very short
time. Yet a youthful bureau chief
forged payrolls in Washington for
four years and stole $4,000. He has
been caught and sen to prison
Some officials in prominent places in
the Government have frequently ex-
pressed surprise that other scandals
have not been unearthed in view Of
the unusual amount of public money
that has been spent in recent years.

Is it possible that such political

DECLINE FOLLOWS
BUILDING SPURT
April Setback Is Counter
to Usual Seasonal Trend
of Activity.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

r faE
NEW YORK, June 1.-The squirt in
building contracts sron February to
March, by more than the usual sea-
sonal amount, was followed by set
back in April, according to the Alex
ander Hamilton Institute. Total cpn-
tracts awarded in the field Of private
enterprise in April were "A per cent
below the March volume. This de-
crease was contrary to the usual sea-
sonai trend. From March to April,
in the last 13 years, there was an
average increase of 5.8 per cent.
This setback in April resulted in a
much more unfavorable comparison
with the volume q year ago than in
March. AS compared with the vol
umes in the corresponding months
last year, total contracts in March
showed a decrease of 10 per cent.
whereas, in April, there was a decrease
of 32.4 per cent. The cumulative total
for the first four months was 81 per
cent below the level of 1897.
Both Classes Down.
Both residential and nonsresidential
contracts were curtailed in April with
both classes showing declines from
the volumes in March as well as from
the volumes in April last year.
Fundamental factors in the building
situation remain generally unfavor-
able, indicating that the setback in
April will be followed by further cur
tailment of activity during the re-
mainder of the year. Some months
may show temporary rallies, but the
prospects even for such movements
are none too good. 1t may be now
almost taken for granted that con-
tracts for the full year will be well
below last years annual volume. This
means a very depressed state of affairs
since contracts last year were equal
to less than half of the volume attained
prior to the depression which began
in 1929.
Rents Still Drop.
Rents have continued to decline as
the result of the increase in unem-
ployment and the decrease in the
consumers income. The rent index
on the basis of 1926 as 100, dropped
in April, for the sixth consecutive
month, to 86.1 from 1874 in March
and from the peak of 88.1 last Octo-
Der. The present weakness of COM
modify prices, and the fact that rents
are above the level warranted by COM
modify prices, indicate a further de-
cline in rents.
Meanwhile, the cost Of building
clings tenaciously to an excessively
high level. The index of building
costs, after sagging slightly from a
peak of 1858 last September to 1898
in February, firmed up in March to
revised figure of 104.l, and remained
at that level in April. This compares
with the April rent index of only 86. /.

bS the Associated Press. ri
Agriculture Department experts re-
ported today that conditions were
favorable last week for the spread of
stem rust on winter wheat throuehout
much of Central and Northern Texas.
Some fields were said to be heavily
infested already as result of album
dant rainfall. great humidity and
cloudiness.
The department also reported that
leaf rust less destructive than the
stem variety, was heavy throughout
the southern half of the winter wheat
area, including Oklahoma. Southern
Kansas and Southern Missouri.
1t was too early, however, to deter.
mine whether any considerable dam
age to the crop would result. Latest
