Work Pushed at D. C. Building.

Work Pushed at D. C. Building.
Administrator Ickes' approval of this
first phase of the program was fully
expected in view of the high-pressure
work at the District Building to re-
submit applications in accordance with
P. w. A. requirements.
Two weeks ago, Secretary Ickes had
rejected the so-called application made
by the Commissioners on this ground
he termed compliance with regu-
lations well known to have been in
existence for five years.
officials said Mr.. Ickes was not
"relenting" in making these allotments
today, as he always had intended ap-
proving necessary work for Washing
ton when the Commissioners should
cooperate properly.
He had previously expressed his per.
sonal interest in the District program
and had given assurances that he
would approve projects for which the
Commissioners desired priority. It
was soon after this that Secretary Ickes
personally requested the application
made by the Commissioners so as to
give it early attention. Only then
did he discover. as he expressed at the
time, that the Commissioners had filed
no application which could be con.
Sidered as such.
From of3cial quarters it was learned
today the Commissioners had resub-
mitted in what was characterized "ac.
ceptable form" applications for $2,.
100000 for a National Guard armory:
$252O,O00 to start work on a munich.
pal center; $1.600,000 for improve
ments on the District Jail; $1,0O0,000
to modernize and relocate the fire
alarm system now housed on the fifth
floor of the District Building; $710,755
for extension of the city sewer system;
$675,0 for additional improvements
to Gallinger Hospital, and $500, 900 for
q branch library.
Army Engineers Borrowed.
Since being admonished by Mr.
1ckes, the Commissioners have "bor.
rowed" several Army engineers, and
the P. w. A. has allowed them the
services Of one of its engineers to ex-
pedite preparation of plans for the
balance of that program. There was
no telling today, of course, whether
the full amount of $18,150,000 will
be allotted to the District, even in the
event all specified rules are fully met.
It is not always the case for any city
or State to receive the full amount
OF its request, since the P. w. A.
has to spread its funds as far as Dos
sible.
There was general belief. however,
that the District program, contin-
gent on meeting Of requirements, will
be given very liberal treatment.
The $1,540,000 which the p. w. A.
IS loaning the District for the three
initial projects will have to be repaid
from local taxes. The new law pro-
vides repayment at the rate Of $780,.
600 annually instead Of 81 ,000, 900 an
nually as heretofore. The balance is
. direct contribution by the Federal
Government.
Plans for the Municipal Court Build
ing are designed to replace the present
crowded and antiquated structure. It
will be erected on Judiciary Square.
The allotment calls for q $675 900
grant and $825, 900 loan.
The new Juvenile Court Building,
also on Judiciary Square, Is designed
for the same reason as the Municipal
Court. These projects have been
pending for several years, but the Dis

and a half hours after Howard

YAKUTSK. Siberia, July l3.-
Howard Hughes took off for Fair
banks, Alaska, at 9:Ol'o'clock tonight
T:01 am, E. S. t. on the fifth leg
Of his attempt to set new record
Tor round-the- world flight.
Experts at Hughes flight head
quarters in New York estimated to-

standard time). and would be
ready to take of again for New
York at 9 pm. If Hughes and his
men are able to maintain such a
schedule, they will return to their
starting place about noon tomor-
row.
Reports of good weather were re-
ceived from points as far as the
Bering Strait, but fog and rain were
reported on the Alaska side.
The American airman and his four
companions had remained at Yakutsk
only two hours and SO minutes after
completing their 2,177-mile hop from
Omsk. Western Siberia.
Hughes planned to make Yatutsk
his last stop in Soviet Russian terri
tory. He plotted course of 2,456
miles to Fairbanks, across the north
eastern tip of Siberia and the Bering
Sea.
However, preparations for an emer-
gency landing have been made at
Anadyrsk in case of necessity.
Far Ahead of Posts Time.
Leaving Yakutsk just 60 hours Al
minutes after their take-off from New
York and with two-thirds of the flight
completed, Hughes and his compan-
Ions were far ahead of the time of
the late Wiley Post, who girdled the
globe alone in days l8 hours 49 min
utes in 1888.
Post flew different course across
Siberia, but his take-off from
khabarovsk, approximately the
same distance from New York as
Yakutsk, came lib hours So min
utes after his New York take-off.
He had stopped at Khabarovsk
only hours 13 minutes.
(Anadyrsk is a little more than
1.400 miles northwest of Yakutsk.
From there the direct route to
Fairbanks would take Hughes close
to the narrowest part of the Bering
Strait, where only so miles of
water separates Soviet and Amer
lean territory. The district be-
tween Yakutsk and Bering Strait,
however. is one of the widest
parts of Siberia)

BASKETEERS IN
VICTORY OVER WORDEN

The Hardin basketball team
downed a hard fighting Worden
outfit on the local floor last Fri
day night by a score of % to II.
In the early minutes of the
game, it looked like a close
struggle, with the first quarter
ending in a 7 to 7 tie. In the
second quarter, however, the Wor-
den quint failed to find the hoop
and at the half the Bulldogs were
leading II to Z.
The local five really found their
pace in the second half, and Wor-
den never threatened again.
Barkart of Worden was high
scorer for the game, amassing a
total of 10 points. Adamson, Tor
the locals. was only one point be-
hind to lead the Hardinites with
nine talleys.
