At this writing it appears likely
that the Cartwright bill, which would
provide for a continuance of federal
highway aid to the states, will pass.
The bill will provide for an expendi-
ture of $230,O0O, 900 which is the same
amount appropriated by the 74th Con-
gress. Much concern has been ex-
pressed over the fate of this measure,
for not only was the appropriation for
the next year threatened, but allot-
ments made by the secretary of agri-
culture last December as well. State
highway commissioners were re-
quested, in the December allotment
notice, not to spend the 1888 funds
until further notice, following state
ment by the President recommending
curtailment of this federal aid from
$3.50, 100000 to only $9O,O00,00O. This
would have practically ruined state
highway construction programs in
many states.
Chairman Wilburn Cartwright con-
Quoted extensive hearings on the cur
rent bill, at which Minnesota's Farm
er-Laborites, including representa-
tives of the state highway depart
ment, made effective presentations
Now the word is going around that
chances of retaining the usual appro-
priations are much improved.

Individual farmers and practically
all the farm organizations have been
watching with intense interest the
progress of the appropriation bill car
rying next years financing for the
Rural Identification Administration.
They are much concerned over the
fact that the bill, as sent to the
House by the Bureau of the Budget,
reduced the usual appropriation from
$40,000,000 to $30,000,000.
In view of the growth of rural
identification and the constantly
growing demand for it during the last
three years, the farm groups point
out that REA now has on file appli-
cations for more than $1OO,O0O,O00
worth of construction. They are par
ticularly disappointed over the Bud
get Bureaus curtailment because this
money is by no means a government
grant, but is loaned out, to be repaid
in 10 years, at approximately the
average of income on government
securities.
Hope for continuance of allotments,
as provided in the original REA bill,
was revived when Senator Norris
succeeded in applying an amendment
restoring the $1O,00O,OO0 which had
been Topped off the appropriation.
The measure is now being ironed out
in conference before coming back to
the House where it is very likely to
pass.

Point for Earle
While granting the Earle ad-
forces the first point
they have won in the long legisla-

Prague, Oct. 2.-(AP)-Premier
Jan Syrovy today rejected a British
plan to allow Sudeten German refii-

ternational aid for them. The Brit
ish suggestion was made personally
by Major General Sir Neil Malcolm,

for refugees from Germany.

vakia had reason to fear new agita-
ton if great numbers of Germans
were taken into the republic. Al
though most fugitives were anti-Nazis,
he said they already were demanding
German schools ~
Syrovy added that many other DIFF
ficulties, chiefly economic, stood in
the way of the British plan. Sir Neil,
however, expressed the fear that
many refugees would be prosecuted If
they returned to Sudetenland, which
is now under German costrol.

Washington, Oct. 12-(AP) Nathan

ly next year.
Making that forecast today, he re-
ported $7,545,892 has been advanced

units, now under construction. The
anticipated rate of slum clearance.
Straus said, will require $4,000, 900 to
S30,000,000 of construction every
month. Advances today barely have
nicked either the $6O0,O0O,0O0 which
USHA has for slum clearance and
