The prediction of the United
States Conference of Mayors. sent
to all members of Congress today
that the w. p A. program will
collapse under restrictions in the
new Relief Act unless more funds
are appropriated brought from Sen
ator Adams, Democrat, of Colorado
the statement that Congress al
lowed the amount asked for in the
Presidents budget estimate-$1,-
ATT ,OOO, ,OOO
"All I know is we put in the
amount asked for and we assumed
the President and Col. Harrington
knew the amount needed" said the
Colorado Senator, who has charge
of relief bills in the Senate.
Although the Mayors based their
appeal on the cumulative effect Of
several limitations placed in the
new law, they laid stress on the
new requirement for a Is per cent
local sponsor contribution to w. p A.
projects. Other factors entering
into their petition are:
The general reduction in the aver
age number on the rolls by the end
of the fiscal year, the requirement
for a layoff of at least 80 days by
August 81 of all those who have
been on w. P. A. continuously for
18 months and the provision that
the new appropriation shall be so
apportioned and administered as to
constitute the total amount to be
appropriated this year.
No Trouble Expected here.
Inquiry among local officials today
revealed that they do not foresee any
serious complications here as a re-
suit of the Is per cent local contri-
button rule, pointing out that for
the last year the District govern
ment maintained a 20 per cent aver
age contribution. During the past
spring, from March to May 81, the
local contribution was 23.7 per cent
The District, of course, will feel
some part of the Nationwide reduc-
ton in the rolls as the year pro-

La Guardia Admits
1aeit|y He'll Run
For Appeals Bench
Mayor Refers CousticoIIy
To Those Six Old Boys
On State Tribunal
~ the Associated Press

~ the Associated Press.
> NEW YORK, July 24.-With a
caustic reference to "those six old
boys" Mayor F. H. La Guardia today
virtually affirmed that he would be
an independent candidate for chief
Judge of the Court of Appeals this
eall.
The court, highest of the States
tribunals. is composed of six asso-
ciate judges in addition to the chief
fudge, and sits at Albany.
Mr.. La Guardia, who has criticized
me court as "reactionary" as re-
suit of its rulings in New York
City affairs, declared the people
no longer would stand for judges
shand-picked by a few political
leaders"
= "I do not see why a good candi-
date cannot be found in whom the
people will have confidence he
Said.
3 He smiled when asked if he had
himself in mind.
= mo greater mistake can be made
*han the old idea that judges ap-
broaching the retirement age should
be selected for the Court of APP
peals," Mr. La Guardia said. True,
1t requires experience, but there is
a vast difference between experience
backed by vitality and strength and
experience that cannot be applied
the tired, worn-out, weary body and
mind that are easily swayed-if you
get what I mean And those six old
boys know exactly what I mean"
Chief Judge Frederick E. Crane
is retiring because of the constitu-
tional 70-year age limit.
The post pays $22 500 a year, plus
$4,000 expenses. The term is IA
years.
Mr.. La Guardia, who could run
without relinquishing the mayoralty
Is 56 years old.

Conferees Meet TODAY
On Retirement Bill

House and Senate conferees are
scheduled to meet late today in an
effort to reach an agreement on the
conflicting provisions of the pend
ing bill to liberalize the civil service
retirement law.
The major questions awaiting
settlement are whether to fix the
employe contribution from salary at
4 per cent, as in the Senate bill, or
S per cent, under the House meas
ure, to help finance the earlier age
limits for optional retirement. The
contribution is now 81 per cent.
The two houses also have adopted
different schedules Of age limits, but
1t is believed these will be ad-
justed without difnculty after the
contribution has bsen agreed upon.

CopitoI Champion One
Above Por for Half Of
Qualifying Round
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Stan Correspondent of the Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, July "a
Andrew Oliveri, Washington munic-
ipal champion and captain of the
Harding Cup team from the Capital
established himself as a potent
threat to win the National Public
Links championship here today by
playing the first half of the 36-hole
qualifying round in 70, one above
par for the difficult Mount Pleasant
course.
Oliveri's score early this afternoon
had tied him for second place. one
shot behind the leading par "a
round shot by Mike Cestone of
Montclair, N j., in a tie with Al
Huegelmeyer of Baltimbore.
Oliveri played f1awless golf on the
first nine, but dumped chance to
lead the field when he went over
par on the last two holes. He had
eight pars and one birdie on the
first nine, the birdie coming from
10-foot put for a on the eighth
hole. He played poor pitch to the
tenth to 60 back to level par, picked
up another shot with birdie at the
thirteenth and came to the seven
teenth with two pars for II. But
he missed the green at this tough
201-yard hole, taking 4, and then
three-putted the vast expanse of
the eighteenth green for a S and
his 70.
Oliveri probably will lead the
Washington contingent at the half
way mark in the medal round, and
has the Capital team away to a good
start in the competition for the
Harding Intercity Trophy.
Here is Oliveri's score with par
for the course.

after an all-day search, we're with
out hope of finding any of the miss

While downcast by the tragedy,
the two guides who accompanied
the Western Washington College of
Education's annual hike were thank
full that it was not more serious.
There were 25 members in the
party, Guides Don Cox and Chester
Ullin said, including themselves. The

The group was under Roman

avalanche of snow came roaring
down on them.
The mixers scampered for safety,
but when they gathered beyond in

Two hours later the body Of Miss
James was found on a precipice un-
der three feet of snow. Artificial res

News of the tragedy was brought to
Glacier and a searching party of

were teachers attending the summer

Bellingham, so miles from here.
Mr.. Howat, who planned to teach
this fall, and Miss Weitman. a
teacher at Chewelah for three years,
were to wed soon.
l.. H. MCGEE, one of the survivors,
said the snow seemed to come roll
ing down the mountain like waves
on the seashore.
"One of the waves hit me and I
went under" he said. Il just barely
got out when another wave came
along and I was under again. I
know I was in an out Of snow
