Decentralized administration Of un-
employment relief was suggested by
two witnesses before the Senate Un-
employment Committee today.
Charles P. Taft, Cincinnati lawyer
and spokesman for the National Citi-
1ens' Committee of the Mobilization
for Human Needs, proposed that the
Federal Government continue relief
financing on q definite formula by
which the States would be required to
match Federal contributions, as Is
now the case in several parts of the
social security program.
This matching formula, he said,
should approach = $3.50 basis, but
probably would have to be undertaken
now with the Federal Government
paying about 10 per cent Of the total.
Types of relief programs, be pro-
posed, should be at the general dis
cretion of local administrat tons. with
the Federal Government not attempt
ing to direct . national program of
work relief.
The suggestion of the Ohioan, who
Is the son Of the late Chief Justice
William Howard Taft, was part Of q
three-point plan.
Although dubious as to ability Of
States or communities to assume any
appreciable financial responsibility for
relief, Louis Z. KRISTEN, Boston mer-
chant, took . position similar to that
OF Mr.. TAFT In questioning centraliza-
ton OF administration in Washing
ton. IS.
Some way should be worked out -
the Bostonian said, Ito give . greater
share Of participation to local authori-
ties. both State and local, at the same
time. Of course, safeguarding basic
standards Of efficiency"
Mr.. KRISTEN also expressed some
doubts about whether the Federal
program has been wise in limiting ix
assistance Of the unemployed to WORK
relief. Obviously. work relief should
be part Of any total program Of un-
employment relief. but I do not be-
lieve that 1t b practical or desirable
to confine the whole program to work
relief. There are people In every COM
munity who need and deserve a.

is CAUSE OF DECISION
Steiwer Insists on Determining
Whether Appointee Was Linked
to Alleged Spying.

BY the Associated Press.
A Senate committee decided to-
day to inquire into wire tapping
at the Interior Department.
The decision was made in connec.
tion with the committees considera-
ton Of the nomination of E. X. Bur-
lew to be First Assistant Secretary
Of the department.
At the insistence of Senator Steiwer
Republican, of Oregon, the Public
Lands Committee agreed to call Louis
r. CLAWS, former chief Interior De.
partment investigator, to testify about
the wire tapping.
Il insist" Senator Steiwer said
that We get full light on whether
Mr. Burlew had any connection with
wire tapping and other spying in the
department, such as he has testified
went on.
CLAWS to Be Summoned.
Chairman Adams. Democrat, OF
Colorado said Mr. CLAWS would be
asked to appear, but added:
However, I don't believe this com.
mittee should undertake to investigate
the whole Interior Department. Tha,
would be entirely outside our func-
ton"
When the committee resumed today
its study of Mr. Burlew's qualifications
Senator Pittman, Democrat. of Ne
vada reopened discussion Of a c. C.
c. camp fraud about which Mr.. Bur-
lew previously testified. Mr.. Burlew
denied any responsibility In connec-
ton with the defrauding Of the Gov
ernment of about $4,000 by Reno
Stitley. former National Park Servive
pay clerk. who recently pleaded guilty
In District Court here to forging c. C.
c. vouchers.
Mr.. Burlew said Stitley, over a Pc
riod Of three years, forged and cashed
vouchers issued on a dummy c. G. C.
camp supposed to have existed In 4
Virginia National Park.
His activities were discovered when
he tried to work the same thing In
the Interior Department by adding
fictitious names to the pay roll of an
actual Interior Department C. C. C.
camp Burlew said.
Mr.. Burlew said Stitey cashed the
vouchers on the dummy" camp
through the War Department dis
bursement office.
1T doesn't. seem reasonable the
War Department would allow the
pay clerk In another department tc
draw checks on It's funds" Senator
Pittman said
Pittman Asks Files.
After Mr.. Burlew told the commit
tee he had no connection with the
disbursement Of any funds and did
not have full details of the Stitley
incident, Senator Pittman asked te
have the Interior Department files
brought before the committee 80,
full study"
Under further questioning about
Interior Department espionage, Mr.
Burlew said he disapproved of some oi
the Investigations made by operative.
because CLAWS was bounding and
prosecuting some employees without
justification"
He said, however, he thought the
department investigators were respon-
sible for preventing any scandals in
the department in the handling Of
millions of dollars"
Senator Steiwer, when Mr.. Burlew
directed question to him about the
purpose Of calling Mr.. CLAWS to tes-
tify, asked Mr.. Burlew II he were re-
s.sting the suggestion and Mr.. Burlew
said he was not. He added:
Il just want to have q chance to
answer anything he may say"

MORE POLICEMEN
URGED BY HAzEN
Present Force of 1891 In.
adequate to Curb Crime,
He Says.

Demands from Capitol Hill for the
suppression Of crime in Washington
led Commissioner Ha2en to declare
today that Congress should help him
secure more policemen for the Dis
trict.
''The Budget Bureau and the House
District Committee both turned down
reasonable request for IS additional
policemen sought by Maj. Ernest w.
Brown in the 1899 estimates" Mr..
Haxen said. 'They seem to think we
can get along with the same force we
have now. which Is 1891 officers and
men. This force is inadequate"
Mr. Hazen said he intended to re-
new his request for additional police
men when he goes before the Senate
District Committee. He hoped" the
group would approve his original es-
Inmates and succeed in winning an
agreement on the part Of the House
Mr.. Hazen. who is in charge Of the
police force, said he was not in favor
Of q mandatory law to provide the
death penalty "for armed robbers" as
proposed by Representative Nichols,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, but he point
ed out he favored elsetrocution in the
severest cases, such as when told-up
victim is killed.
These armed rats are q menace to
the District and deserve every bit Of
punishment which can be legally meted
to them," he said.
The Commissioner also said District
laws are clearly inadequate to sup
press the numbers racket In Washing
ton," and suggested that the law
makers were the only persons who
could remedy this situation. He ex-
planned he was mot . lawyer" and
therefore was unable to make any or
hand recommendation.

Treasury.PostaI Measure of
1,4W,552,206 Is Re-
duced $7,916,05O.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY,


The second Of the IL annual appro-
priation bills, for the Post Once and
Treasury Departments, was reported
to the House today.
1t carries q total of regular annual
appropriations Of 81. .400,552, 2,286, a net
decrease Of SITS. 1862, 1924 under the
1888 appropriations and $7,9l6,050
less than the budget estimate. With
a reappropriation of $115,000 900 the
bill makes available for the two de-
partments q total of $l,5l5,552,2s6.
The bill reduces by $l,798,000 the
requested increase in limit Of cost of
the projected new Government Print
ing Once buildings. A request was
submitted for an appropriation of
$500, 900 and an increase from S.
SS5. 900 to $s,7ss,000 in the limit Of
cost for this annex building.
The subcommittee reporting the. bill
today recently visited the Government
Printing once and stated in its re-
port that 1T Is In thorough accord
with the necessity Of replacing the old
building as soon as possible" It re-
ported that "an excellent warehouse
commodious and well arranged for the
needs Of the establishment is being
completed"
Eliminates Decorations,
The committee expressed the belief
that funds should be provided for q
suitable building for the necessary
manufacturing operations. In fixing
the limit OF cost at $1,000, 900 in lieu
OF the 50, 10000 requested, the COM
mittee decided that there should be
eliminated such features as murals
sculpture and other proposed improve
ments Of purely decorative nature.
They inserted provision that the
character Of the exterior construction
material for the annex building
should be that contemplated in the
original cost estimates and not that
specified by the Commission of Fine
Arts at an increased cost of approx
tmately $4,000. The report also
points out that bids were taken last
year ut time when construction costs
were much higher than now. It rec
ommends that new bids should be
taken in order that the Government
may have the advantage Of present
good competition.
Alterations Approved.
The committee approves proposed
alterations in the existing building
and the mechanical and electrical
equipment which will bring about i'm
proved safety and decreased cost of
operation. The direct appropriation
OF $2.500.0 900, which is 81 ,00o, 900 less
than the budget estimate, with the
unexpended balance now on hand
should be ample to carry the work
forward until the next appropriation
becomes available, the committee said.
The reduction of $21 ,s32, ,os5 "a unde,
1928 construction appropriations is ef-
lected In the bill by elimination OF
non-recurring construction items and
the reduction from 323. .00o, 900 to sl1,.
100000 In the amount needed for the
three-year building program outside
Of the District.
For the National Cancer Institute in
Washington. which has Just been
started, the bill carries 100000. Fol
the American Printing House for the
Blind, $115,o00 Is allowed.
