Formal application for $1S,150,
900 to finance a District col1struc
ton program was sent to Public
Works Administrator Harold L
Ickes yesterday.
The District Commissioners sub

Z Liners Held Up
BY New York Fog

NEW YORK, June "a Q.N.S0.
The worst fog in years held seven
liners off Ambrose Light early to-
day and blindfolded all harbor
and river traffic. Six Of the lin.
ers, with total passenger list Of
about 1000, have been held in the
fog at the entrance to the bay
since yesterday afternoon. With

Cardinal Dougherty of Philadel'

ers say the new activity is the up
ward trend that will arrest the
slump.
Most other firms, too, have ex
tended their production schedules
well into July, with the possibility
of new extensions later. This Is a
direct result of the steady sales
reported In most heavy marketing
centerS.
Several plants, including the
representative Kelsey-Hayes Wheel
Company factory, have recalled
office and shop workers put on
five and six week 'payless vaca-
tions."
CAR SHORTAGE FORECAST
Alfred H. Ward, head of Wards
Reports, Inc, told In
ternational News Service he ex-
poets the industry to be more
healthy" this fall than at any
time since 1888. He explained:
"SaleS have been ahead Of pro
duction throughout the year. I
think this condition will give
dealers generally a clean inven-
tory by fall.
The future looks good. A
large potential newcar demand
has been built. The, whole in
dustry is more optimistic. A
car shortage is coming, and
that means the factories will go
back to full-time work when the
new model year begins"

.E.D,R INTIMATES
WAGNER TO RUN
FOR REELECTION
Won't Say Definitely;
Silent on Lehman

U.N.S) Although President
Roosevelt declined to comment on
the New York political situation
today, he gave reporters a dis
tinct hint that Senator Robert
Wagner would run for reelection,
rather than aspire to the Demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination In
the Empire State.
The New York political situa-
ton was brought up at the White
House press conference when one
newsman ingeniously advised the
President that he had been writ
ing stories from Washington that
Wagner would again be a candi-
date for the Senate, whereas Al
bany correspondents were writing
that Wagner might run for gov
ernor. The reporter asked the
President to Straighten out the
conflict Of opinions:
KEEP IN THE COURSE
Mr.. Roosevelt laughed and OBJ
served that the question put him
in a bad fix because the Albany
boys were friends of his. When
the reporter pressed his question,
Mr.. Roosevelt suggested that the
writer keep right on the same
course.
Then, when the question was
again pressed, the President sug-
gested that he already had given
his interrogation a good lead.
Mr.. Roosevelt then was asked
to comment upon the announce
ment of Gov. Herbert H. Lehman
that he would be a candidate for
the Senate vacancy created by the
death Of Senator Royal s. Cope
land.
NO COMMENT NOW
The Chief Executive smiled and
said he could not comment at the
moment because he had been so
damned with signing bills and
preparing speeches that he had
scarcely had time to read the
papers.
The Presidents interest in the
politics Of his home State was
evidenced, however, by the fact
that he scheduled an engagement
this afternoon with Postmaster
General Farley, who is also New
York State Democratic chairman
as well as national chairman.
TO MEET BARKLEY
Another appointment with a
political flavor, was q desk lunch
con conference with Senate Ma
jority Leader Alben w. Barley of
Kentucky. The President is max
ing several appearances in Ken
lucky on July 8 in the interest of
Barkley'S campaign for renomina-
ton, which is being contested by
Governor A. B. Happy" Chandler.
In the course Of his tranScon-
tinental swing, Mr.. Roosevelt said
he would stop at Oklahoma City
to say a few words. Senator Elmer
Thomas, a strong New Deal sup
porter, Is seeking denomination
against Governor e. w. Marland
and Representative Conner Smith.

dent said the report sounded lust

u. S. Will STORE
wheat SURPLUS

GN.SJ Expecting greater
competition in foreign wheat mar,
kets, the Department Of Agricul.
ture today announced plans for
extensive storage Of surplus wheat
from the 1,O20,O00,0OO to 1,040,,
100000 bushel production ex-
pected this year.
Practically discarding hopes of
dumping the surplus wheat on
foreign markets, the department
said that exports will be about
$50, 100000 bushels" more than
last year when $4,000 900 bushels
were exported and predicted that
foreign markets would be flooded
with other than American wheat.
Production in Canada and
Argentina may easily be 1885,
900, 900 bushels larger than the
past year." the department said.
In the production of these two
countries is the stumbling block
to the plan being worked out by
the State and Agriculture de-
partments for expansion Of
American wheat markets. The
world wheat production was eSti-
mated yesterday to be 4,075,-
100000 bushels.
It was indicated that agriculture
officials expected farmers to place
under loan all of the approx
mately 100000, 000-bushel surplus
predicted for this year.

RAILMEN DELAY
PAY CUT FARLEY;
EXPECT UpTURN
Labor Head Hopeful
Of Averting Slash

G.NS.) The Association OF
American Railway Labor Execu
tiveS today notified the carriers
Joint conference committee that
the labor unions will not be pre-
pared to discuss the proposed is
per cent wage reduction until
around July 20.
George H. Harrison, association
chairman, made this announce
ment in response to the commit
i tees invitation to the 10 railroad
labor unions to send representa-
tives to Chicago Tuesday for a
conference with the committee.
UPTURN EXPECTED
The rail labor leaders feel the
Chicago conference will be held
as scheduled. but will be merely
a preliminary session.
Harrison stated the workers are
holding out against any reduction
in wages. He feels that business
will increase sufficiently during
the next few months to avert any
necessity for a wage reduction.
Major American railroad heads
brought cheering news and predlc-
lions of a business upturn to the
regular meeting of the American
Association of Railroads here to-
day.
M. w. Clement, president Of the
Pennsylvania system; E. s.
French, president of the Boston
and Maine and Maine Central; F.
E. Williamson, president of the
New York Central, and others all
said there were signs Of definite
increase in business.
French said both his roads have
made a better showing in the
past 80 days than in earlier
months of the year and added he
expected an even sharper upward
swing.
Williamson made a brief in
formal statement:
II believe there will be some
business pickup this fall, but
not Immediately. However, the
New York Central is now en-
ploying $4,000 less men than it
was year ago."
L. w. Baldwin, chief operating
officer of the Missouri-Pacific,
commented:
Things are looking some bet
ter, and the pickup in the last
10 days has been sharp. Crops
are excellent, although we do
not yet know when they will
start moving. I believe the Kan
sas wheat crop will run about
10000, 900 bushels, despite the
Government estimate of 100000
000."
ELLIOTT SKEPTICAL
George B. Elliott, president of
the Atlantic Coast Line, COM
mented:
II haven't seen any particular
change of business, or sentiment,
although I have read there is a
change. Car loadingS so far
this year are 1873 per cent un-
der last year. However, gross
revenues have been maintained
on my road at a fair rate be-
cause of the heavy shipment
northward of early vegetables
and citrus fruits.
