rumors in Washington during his re-
cent absence to the effect that Federal
expenditures here might deprive the
District of urgently needed municipal
projects financed by the P. w. A.
These rumors. nevertheless, have been
going the rounds for more than three
weeks. They arose in part, from the
fact that Congress has forbidden
P. W. A. expenditures for Federal
projects in the District.
Under the District bill. which Presi-
dent Roosevelt is expected to sign
today, the District would repay S. per
cent of the amount it borrows from
the P. w. A. over a period of Is years.
1t places the District on a parity with
other States.
The Commissioners made formal
request late yesterday for loans and
grants to the full limit of the $l8,-
100000 authorized under this enabling
act.
The list of projects for which this
money is sought includes new court,
hospital, school, library, Jail and ad-
ministration buildings for the munich
pal government. The program was
compiled out of selected list of
desirable" P w. A. projects for the
District having a total estimated cost
Of s31, 100000.
One of the most important projects
is the new Municipal Court Building
to be erected in Judiciary Square
The Commissioners have requested
$l,500.000 for this building. Second
on the list is new Juvenile Court
Building. to be erected near the Dis
trict Courthouse in Judiciary Square,
for which loan and grant of $500, 900
is being sought.
The program also includes a re-
quest for s75o,000 for building the
proposed new general medical ward
building at Gallinger Hospital. $780,

sional experts are studying it, Senator
King explained:
Il don't want it to be said that the
bill or program recommended next
year is favorable to any one group or
another. For that reason / believe
the Commissioners should designate
representatives of business, labor and
citizens generally"
If discussion of q local income tax
is revived, Senator King said. there
will be intricate legal questions to be
gone into to determine how such a
tax could be made workable. in view
of the large number of persons living
in adjacent States and working in
Washington. These residence provi-
sions have complicated efforts in the
House to have an income tax adopted
in the last two years. In both years
the effort was abandoned.

Wants Permanent P. wa.
Secretary Ickes urged again yester-
DAY that a permanent Public Works
Administration be maintained in
skeletonized form, at least, to pull in
the slack and produce employment at
the first sign of business recessions
He has been making this plea ever
since the P. W. A., temporary
agency, launched its first drive to
stimulate the heavy industries.
P. w. A. mas invited all its former
State administrators and inspectors
to rejoin its staff. Many of these
men have been out of the P. W. A.
since the administrative set-up was
changed months ago from State to
regional basis.
Under the new spending program, 1t
vas said. P. w. A. needs the expert
advice" Of its former employees. The
former State administrators rehired
will assist the regional directors.
There will be no change in the present
set-up.

SCHOOL DAYS

Soon after September morn the
school bells throughout the country
begin to call children and young
people back to their studies. The
National Capital is more generally
accepted to be the country's great
est educational center than a sym
Dol for old-time Democracy. Besides
the public schools there are great
universities and colleges and a
number of excellent private schools.
The roll of students in Holton-Arms,
which is the leading fashionable
girls schools, is full of names that
are the same as one reads on the
rosters of the Senate. House, and
Who's Who Of the Administration.
Thousands of public officials live the
most part of every year In Washing
ton, and In the judgment of many
fathers and mothers there are adj
vantages in those private institu-
tions that are not included in the
public schooIs-which In growing
cities like Washington are always
overcrowded.
