Boys and girls of all ages meet in
the Temple Church building at ap-
pointed hours throughout the week.
There they play indoor games like
quoit-tennis, ping-pong and checkers.
Others read or work on puzzles
Two dozen children between the

AUTO INVENTORY
HITS NEW Low
Situation Provides Sound
Basis for Production
Says Roper.

BY the Associated Press.
Reduced automobile inventories
provide sound basis for increased
production" Secretary Roper sug-
gested today.
He said that industrial reports in
dicating a decrease OF $4,000 in the
number of automobiles on dealers
floors during July and prospective
decrease of 10000 in August would
bring the average number OF cars on
hand to less than four cars per dealer,
the lowest inventory position since
1884.
meanwhile, the steady reduction Of
secondhand stocks has been progress
ing at an accelerated rate" he added.
Mr. Roper discussed the automobile
situation in connection with a report
on world automobile statistics just
completed
The report showed the number Of
registered motor vehicles in the world
at a new record high of 43,078, $50
on January /. More than 10000 900
of these were in the United States.
The survey showed further that
sl.7 per cent of all the registered
motor vehicles in the world were
American makes and that the average
of American cars in foreign countries
alone was 1915 per cent.
Turning to another field of eco
nomics. Mr.. Roper said he believed
an export subsidy for American wheat
could be arranged without conflict
to the State Departments reciprocal
trade agreement program.
The Commerce head said he did
not know whether a subsidy would be
paid, but added that Commerce and
Agriculture Department experts were
in touch with each other on the prob
lem of how to dispose of the huge
American crop.

SPANISH DANCING
f: FEARED DOOMED
Country May Never Again Enjoy
Its Art Forms, Garcia
Goya Saws,

Spain may never again enjoy the
Spanish dances which Garcia Goya
Is giving to Washington tonight. in
the opinion Of the dark-eyed, black
haired senorita, who will perform with
the seasons last summer symphony at
the Water Gate.
THE war in Spain is beating the
psychology OF the folk into entirely
different forms-and all the culture
OF the country. certainly including the
native dance. must become something
quite different than it has always
BEEN" Senorita Goya said yesterday.
Neither nor any one else can say
what will be left when the fighting
is over-if it ever is."
The senorita learned her art in
Seville.
THE town is called 'Seveeyuh' by
half Of Spain, 'Seveelia by the other
half, 'Sville' by Americans and Sch
viii by the English" she explained.
With the art she learned there
disappearing, the true national dance
has about vanished, she thinks
mo American dance will ever be
produced. Americans are too rushed
to create it unconsciously, and it never
can be done Intentionally" she la
mented. Most dances here are Holly
woodland these marathons, mmpf!"
The senorita has danced in this
country for 10 years, she said. Two
years ago, she danced after a White
House diplomatic dinner at the re-
quest Of Mrs. Roosevelt. Her pro-
gram tonight will include six dances.
Senorita Goya likes Washington
people-but the weather, no.
Why! Do you realize that I'll
have to wear three petticoats in my
performance tonight?" she demanded.

WAGE HOUR Chief
MAPS PROGRAM
Plans Committee of IS to
Determine Minimum
Textile Pay.
Fly the Associated rr-,s.

Fly the Associated rr-ss.
Elmer F. Andrews, new admins
traitor of the wage-hour law, indicated
yesterday the act would have its initial
trial on the complex minimum wage
problems of the textile, tobacco and
cotton garment industries.
A few minutes after being sworn into
Office at the Labor Department he told
reporters he had in mind an industry
committee of Is to determine the high
est minimum wave economically
feasible in the textile industry.
Labor Department experts, who de-
clined to be quoted, said they had in
formation there was a wave of wage
cutting in Southern textile plants; that
the cuts had ranged from IL to IS per
cent, in many cases reducing the hour
ly rate below 80 cents.
Mr.. Andrews told reporters he be-
lieved the wage-hour law would help
business and lessen labor troubles.
Lauds Intent of Law.
"The intent of the law is good" he
said, "and it will improve with time
and experience"
Mr.. Andrews termed it progressive
law" and added:
The least labor troubles are ex-
perienced under progressive laws. They
make for better relationship between
employer and employees"
Among administrative problems
ahead of him Mr.. Andrews listed:
The determining of seasonal indus
tries, in which working hours during
peak production periods may be ex-
tended beyond the graduated maxi
mum hours specified in the act.
The selection of labor members of
industry committees where rivalry is
evolved between the Committee for In
dustrial Organization and the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
Questioned about wage diferentials.
Mr.. Andrews said: 1T can be taken
for granted there will be differentials."
Wages paid, the cost of living and
wage rates for comparable work" he
added, will be taken into considera.
ton in determining differentials."
May Name Committee Soon.
The act specifies that no minimum
wages shall be fixed solely on a re.
gional basis.
Members of the Textile Committee.
consisting of representatives of the
public, employers and employees, Mr.
Andrews said, may be named this
week.
1t was learned that Mr. Andrews al.
ready had conferred with represent.
atives of the industry. Reliable in.
formants said Donald Nelson, vice
president of Sears, Roebuck g. Co.
Chicago. was under consideration a.
committee chairman. Mr. Nelson wa.
offered the wage-hour post Mr.. Ar.
drews now holds. but declined it.
The minimum wage and maximum
hours provisions of the law become
operative automatically next October
"a. Wages in industries engaged ir
interstate commerce will start at
minimum of 25 cents an hour the
first year, 80 cents the second year anc
40 cents at the end of seven years
Hours will start at A a week anc
graduate down to 40 in three years.
The act empowers the administrator
however, to set up industry committee
to determine the highest minimum
wage economically feasible in ar,
specified industry without curtailin;
employment.
