Curtai|ing Of ". P. A
Projects in Some
States Expected
Become Responsible
For Fourth of Cost
After First of Yeur
BY the Associated Press.

w. P. A. officials said today that a
study of the new relief act in oper-
alton indicated that some States
may curtail projects materially after
the first of the year. when they be-
come responsible for 25 per cent OF
the cost.
I'VE are getting some pretty loud
squawks," officials said, against the
provision that State w. P. A. officers
may require varying amounts OF
local contributions to project, as
long as the State total amounts to
Is per cent of the outlay for all prof.
ects within its borders when the pro-
gram is completed"
Sources of this information pre-
ferred to remain anonymous pend
ing further experience with the new
law, but they appeared convinced
that next year fewer communities
would contribute more than the Is
per cent required of the State.
1T well may be-" they said, that
the minimum contribution will be-
come the maximum"
These developments seemed to W.
P. A. officials to refute earlier be-
liefs that localities with sufficient
resources might be willing to con-
tribute much more than Is per cent
and permit distressed neighbor to
obtain w. p A. projects on token
sponsorship"
The latter would include contribu-
tions of city truck, a barrel of
cement or the services of city en-
3ineer. The small and the large con-
tributions would be balanced against
each other for a grand total of 25
per cent on all projects within the
State.
officials said also that the new
building restrictions appeared likely
to hamper w. P A. construction of
larger schools, city halls, armories
and similar projects.
The new law limits Government
contribution to $4,000 on Federal
buildings and to $50 900 on non- Fed
eral buildings Heretofore. so per
cent of the total cost of building con-
struction has been paid by the w. P.
A. on projects approximating more
than 100000 each.

Nazis Open Campaign
For Scrap Iron 10
Meet Big Shortage
-
Women Being Troined
o Replace Men i'll
Need for Labor
By tie Associated Press.

6S tIt ASSOClateu EreSS.
BERLIN, July 26.-Nazis intensi-
fed their efforts to overcome a
shortage of raw materials and labor
in Germany's gigantic rearmament
and economic self-sufiiciency pro-
gram today with a new drive to COL
lect scrap iron and by training wom-
en- tn take over mems jobs.
To help fill the great demand for
iron ore and scrap iron, Field Mar
shal Hermann Wilhelm Goering, as
director of the four-year self -suffi-
cheney plan, last year started a
scrap iron collection campaign"
which was reported to have brought
in approximately 100000 tons of
scrap metal.
During this campaign iron fences
were torn down and every disposable
piece of iron and steel was turned
over to Storm Troopers, who did the
collecting. But this apparently was
only drop in the bucket. News
papers today carried another Nazi
party appeal, setting August as
the date for beginning of a new
scrap iron collection campaign in
Greater Berlin.
The demand for metals exceeded
the supply, despite Germany's claim
that it took the lead over all iron
and steel producing countries, in
cludlng the United States.
Nazi leaders regarded the labor
shortage as even more serious than
the lack of materials.
Frau Gertrud Scholtz-Klink, Ger
man women's leader, appealed to
all women to do their share in har-
vesting and to volunteer their serv-
ices for other work as far as possible
Women in general were called
upon to relieve the labor shortage
and take over mems jobs which they
could fill They are being trained
as postal carriers and in many cities
as streetcar and bus conductors
| Jobs which have not been filled by
women in Germany since the days
of the World War.

The first entertainment and dance of the Tech-Cvaft Aid and the Leavenworth Ladies Aid drew a capacity crowd to Leavenworth high school last night. With Q membership of close to 700 in the two groups last nights gathering was Q splendid indication of the fine work the organizations are do- ing.
 The purpose of the clubs is to provide student aid when neces- sary. It will be extended both among the student body and relatives of students. In the past two years the groups have intervened in many needy cases to provide clothes, med ical care and other things.
 A high-light of last nights ses- sion was presentation of service pins to past officers of both socie- ties. Those receiving them were; T. c. A., Michale Ianavtuoni, past president; Richard Pinke, past vice. president; Robert Archambault, past secretary: and Frank Salvatore past treasurer.
 Rocco Rubbo, president, made the presentations.
 Past officers of the l.. L. A. re- ceiving pins were: Philomena Lom- bardi, president; Dorothy LeRose vice-president; Mary Mancuso, sec- retary; and Lucy Possidento, treas- urer.

 Do Not Speak For World
 The newspaper Gazzetta Del Popolo of Turin, regarded as au- thoritative, said in an editorial yes- terday that the interests of Britain and France were not necessarily the interests of neutrals, and that @ time had come to put an end to Britain and France speaking in the name of the world.
 Victory for Britain represents without doubt British interests" ," said the newspaper. but 1t is not at all in the Interest of neutrals. Neutrals have no reason for prefer ring victory for one belligerent or the other. If they assumed such an attitude they would no longer be neutral.
 But what is really inadmissible is the claim of the British-also the French-of seeking to make their interests appear as the universal interests of Europe and the world. These two countries have been tell ing US that neutrals can afford some sacrifices, even if grave, since everybody knows that Britain and France are also fighting for neu- trals, for European liberty and the peace of the world. Well. we say, no. This is not admissible any more. This gone, which has lasted too long, must cease. The time has come to tell the English and the French tha. Anglo-French interests are the interests of those two coun- tries and not the interests of the world"
