Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
chairman of the United States
Worlds Fair Commission, id yes
terday that financial difficulties of
the New York Fair could hardly
be traced to any lack of generosity
on the part of the Federal Govern
ment."
In a statement, Secretary Wallace
accused Grover Whalen, president
Of the New York Fair, of writing a

bondholders the New York Fair
Corp. had assurances from "the ap-
propriate Federal agencies" to cover
a $1,558000 construction cost for the
Hall of Nations, erected for foreign

Neither the commission nor any
other Federal agency that 1 know
of gave the corporation assurances
of a Federal appropriation to cover
the total cost of the Hall of Nations"
Mr.. Wallace asserted. He said Con-
gress appropriated 100000 for
Federal participation in the Worlds

other adjustment Of funds among
categories is believed to have been
recommended by the Commissioners,
bu: It was reported the total pro-
posed outlay for assistance would
not be substantially different than
the total provided for this year.
The total proposed for the long LIST
of welfare activities Of the District
represents q cut of more than
81, ,4O0, 900 from the sums requested
by the Board of Public Welfare and
Robert E. Bondy, welfare director.
Other Funds Spread Out.
Funds needed to build the author
lied new central library building for
the Free Public Library and the new
headquarters and drill hall for the
District National Guard, under the
Commissioners budget plan, would
be spread over two more years. The
largest item was proposed for the
armory for the next fiscal year, in
keeping with some suggestions that
the huge drill hall should be made
ready for use in connection with
inaugural events in January, 1941,
II desired for that purpose.
Congress has authorized a total
cost of $1,118, 600 for the new library
building, which also would provide.
housing for the central Offices of the
public schools system, in a structure
north of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween John Marshall place and
Sixth street NV. A fund of $3.50, 900
was made available for this year.
The Commissioners are proposing
an additional 100000 for the next
fiscal year, leaving $56s,00 to be
appropriated in the 1942 fiscal year.
The authorized cost Of the armory
Is $2,750,000. For this fiscal year,
$500,000 was appropriated. For the

District must begin paying back to
the United States the loan portion
OF the Districts new $18,150, 900 p.
w. A. program. For this purpose a
sum OF $500, 900 is provided. Fifty
nve per cent of the total must be
repaid, or $9,982 500, over q period of
rs years, with interest at 4 per cent.
Incidentally, projects included in
the P. w. A. program have been
considered by Maj. Donovan and
the Commissioners in their decisions
on slashes of proposed new regular
appropriation requests for various
services, including those for the
school and welfare systems.
OF the grand total recommended
BY the Commissioners, $42,l5s, ,235
would be for items financed out of
the general fund, of the District, an
increase Of $1,689, 1888. For items
under the highway fund, the total
for next year would be 1850 ,235, or
nearly 100000 less than the fund
available for this year. The Water
Department appropriations for the
next year would be $2,563 $780, or q
relatively small increase over this
year.
The Commissioners budget pro-
posals include provision for purchase
OF a site for a health center or a
polyclinic in the lower Northwest
washington area, as requested by
Health Oflcer George c. Ruhland,
Maj. Donovan declined to specify
the sum requested or the proposed
site.
Provision is included In the esti-
mates also for the employment of IS
more members of the Metropolitan
Police. Maj. E. w. Brown, super
intendent Of police, had requested
106 additional men.
The Commissioners found it nee
essary to disapprove requests by
health omcials for funds for con-
struction Of Children's Building at
Gallinger Hospital and for a fund of
some $50, 900 for establishment Of a
psychiatTic service under the Health
Department.
The Health Department had re-
quested for next year $3,60l $40. The
Commissioners granted nearly ST.
100000 less than this figure, or a.
