Fund Ready
FOrD.C.

Readiness to earmark $4,000,
900 for the District, as soon as
an application is made by Chair
man John Ihlder of the Alley
Dwelling Aut GRITTY, was an
nounced today by Housing Admin
tstrator Nathan Straus.
. Straus said it would take about
4s hours to provide funds" when
Ehlder made his application.
He said as much as $5,000,000
additional might be made avail,
able when amendments to the
housing act now pending before
Congress are completed.
The $10,000,OO0 would probably
be available to provide between
1900 and 1000 dewlling units. 1t
would provide 3,453,000 direct
man-hours of work and 1900, 900
indirect man hours.
!. Asked if any sites had been
seiected, straus replied that he
did not know.
"Our technical staff" he
said, lis available to the Alley
Dwelling Authority for help in
site selection, building planning,
or any other technical details,
which are now being extended
; TO 15S local authorities in the
country"
Straus indicated he expected
an application from the Alley
Dwelling Authority as soon as the
bill to place the authority in the
same legal status as other local
authorities is approved.
Passed by both houses, it is now
awaiting the conference on minor
details, with congressional sup
porters forecasting passage within
the next few days.
! In addition to authorizing loans
from the Housing Authority, the
bin would provide that the Alley
Dwelling Authority receive 81, 000,-
900 a year for five years from the

HOUSE GROUPS
HASTEN ACTION
ON AIRPORT BILL
Rep. May to Appoint
New Subcommittee

Under the impetus of President
Roosevelt's bad dream, the way
was paved today for early House
consideration of a bill to establish
an airport for the District of Co
lumbia at Camp Springs, Md.
The House Military Affairs
Committee met in executive Ses.
sion this morning with the House
Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, to consider the
Presidents request for immediate
airport action. following his dream
of a plane crash at the Wash.
ington Airport.
SEEKS FAST ACTION
Following the meeting, Repre-
sentative A. j. May CD of Ken
lucky, chairman Of the Military
Affairs Committee, announced he
would appoint a subcommittee to
draft amendments to the Camp
Springs bill and to seek rule
which would enable the committee
to obtain House action.
One of the amendments under
consideration by the committee
would straighten out difficulties
with the Bureau of Standards,
which operates a radio station in
the vicinity of Camp Springs.
FEAR INTERFERENCE
It is proposed that $4,000
should be appropriated to the bu-
reau for replacement of the radio
station. Bureau of Standards Of
ficials recently charged establish
ment of the Camp Springs airport
would interfere with its station.
1t is understood the Navy De
partment has withdrawn its OBJ
lection to the Camp Springs site,
located a short distance from the
Navy radio receiving station at
Cheltenham.
On the basis Of these protests,
the House Naval Affairs Commit |
tee last year issued report de-
claring that it would not support
the Camp Springs site.
OTHER AMENDMENTS
Two remaining amendments
would place the airport under con- |
troll of the newly established Civil |
Aeronautics Authority and would |
require profits from the new air
port to be placed in the United |
States Treasury.
Action on the Camp Springs
bill, according to Chairman May,
will be sought by the Military At
fairs Committee, regardless Of any
action taken by the Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds,
which has been celebrating for
several months on the selection of
an airport site. The latter COM
mittee has scheduled a meeting to-
morning.

Of New Money

I.NS.) Postponing new casl
borrowing until September tn
Treasury today prepared to issu
$1,214,472 900 of securities jun
IS, as a means of meeting
m aturing notes totalling thi
amount.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau announced holders o,
$618, 056, 800 of Government note!
coming due this month will be per
mitted to exchange them for new
Federal securities. In addition, in
vestors holding $596,416,1 100 Of
notes maturing September Is also
will be given the privilege of swap
ping them for the new issue.
DETAILS UNDECIDED
No decision has been made con
corning the type of securities that
will be offered in exchange for the
maturities, nor has the interest
rate of the new offering been de.
termined. The notes coming due
this month bear 27s per cent in.
terest, while the September ma,
turtles have q 212 per cent
coupon.
Holders of the September notes
must convert them on June Is,
Morgenthau asserted, if they wish
to take advantage of the exchange
offer. If the new securities bear
a lower interest rate than the Sep
TENDER maturities, owners Of the
latter will be reimbursed by the
Treasury.
HEAVY DEMAND
Should the owners of the Sep
TENDER maturitieS fail to exchange
them on June Is, the Treasury will
retire the notes with cash on Sep
TENDER IS. Because of the heavy
demand for Government securl-
ties, however, it is likely that well
over 80 per cent of the September
notes will be converted into the
new issue.
Decision to refinance the Sep
TENDER obligations at this time
was prompted by the Treasury'S
desire to "clear the decks" for
possible cash borrowing this fall,
Morgenthau said.
NEW FUNDS NEEDED
Although the Government at
present is in a strong cash posi-.
tion-the Treasury's working bal
ance currently totals about 50,
000, 900, 00O-fresh money will be
needed during the next fiscal
year, to finance the AdminiStra-
tons new recovery program.
It is likely a substantial amount
will be borrowed in September and
December.

NIGHT SESSION
Driving for passage of the bill
to send it to conference with tie
House which already has passed
it in different form, the Demo
cratic leadership served notice
another night session would be

The wedge in the Democratic
party plainly was driven deeper
by the 40-to-37 vote last night by
which was defeated an amend,
ment by Senator Hatch CD, New
Mexico, to force discharge of any
WPA official who takes part in
a political campaign.

Barley flayed the amendment
as an attempt to diSfrancise citi.

forces commended the amendment
prohibited dispensers of relief
money from taking an active part

Political significance also was
seen behind the Copeland-Bailey
earmarking amendments. Senators
saw in them an attempt to wrest

ministrators.

He declined to confirm that
Girard Swope, head Of the General
Electric Company, would be a
member, nor would he say that
Dean Lloyd K. Garrison, Of the
University of Wisconsin, had been
selected.
The President emphasized that
the purpose of the mission is
wholly study. There exists in the
country, he observed, a vast
amount of misinformation con-
corning the operations Of the
British trades union law, and he
thought such a study as he pro-
poses would be valuable by way
of comparison with the operation
of American labor laws.
LEWIS ULTlMATUM
The mere fact that such a
study is to be made aroused mis-
givings in labor circles here. where
the Wagner act is strongly sup
ported.
John L. Lewis promptly served
notice that the CIO will not &C
cept any membership of the Presi-
dents commission, if the intent
of its work is to pave the way
for modification of the Wagner
act.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the idea of
sending the mission to England
was his own. He thought a COM
parative analysis of British and
American labor laws would prove
beneficial and instructive.
The British trades-union act was
enacted after the British general
strike in 1926. While it legalizes
collective bargaining, it prohibits
general strikes, some forms of
sympathetic strikes, and strikes
which inflict undue hardship on
the public at large. Mass picket
ing, as employed in the United
States, is also prohibited.
Business organizations such as
the U. s. Chamber of Commerce
and the National Association of
Manufacturers have argued for
equal responsibility" for both en-
.ployer and employee under law.

Pierce Hall Opener
Is Room Service

The amateur theatrical season
now is ofdcially under way in the
Capital, for the Pierce Hall Players,
last Of the top-flight groups to
make its bow, unveiled its initial
production of the 1889 program
last night in the Fifteenth and
Harvard street auditorium. The
John Murray-Allen Boretz comedy
has been presented here profess
sionally both in its stage and
screen versions, and Howard Went
worth's charges provided an in
teresting variant. Those in the
audience who had seen either the
flesh or celluloid treatments previ-
ously might have found compari-
sons compiling a score against the
Pierce Hall actors, but those be-
Ing introduced to this collection of
stage inanities received more than
their tickets worth in enter .ain-
ment.
The production was no exception
to the rule that there is a fine
show in the hall almost every time
that Mr.. Wentworth directs. There
were moments during which one
was disposed to wish that the cast
would permit itself to appear more
enthusiastically insane, but the
characterizations were acceptably
vigorous for most of the route. The
story Of the shoestring producer
and his associates in search of a
shoestring was the most potentially
hilarious vehicle chosen by the
group. and almost all of the posi-
bilities were realized upon.
Burke Edwards portrayal Of the
mad producer was less vibrant than
those Of the professional players
|. but it was ably handled, and could
be attacked only by reason of a
preference. Edmund Evans and
William Draper enacted the roles of
the equally wackey aides in excel
lent style, and Carl Pribek and Dan
Jones were satisfactory as the hotel
manager and supervisor, respec-
lively, although both displayed a
tendency to exaggerate their repre-
sentations of distraction. Worthy
efforts were supplied by Jean Darier
Walter Reser (the bewildered play
