year. No more than two could be-
long to the same political party.
The committee proposed that tho
theater project be closed June 80
and that the other projects be elm
mated as Federally sponsored prof.
ects August 81.
OF theater projects, it said that
"too high percentage of the relief
workers on them have tendency to
regard them as a career and many
of the workers do not measure up to
the professional requirements they
should possess to qualify them to
relief as SUCH"
Strengthening of political pro-
hibiticns would be achieved by ex-
tending the bans of activity to po-
litical conventions, as well as in
political management and in po-
litical campaigns"
The new wage provision, the COM
mittee said, calls for fixed
monthly earning schedule which
would not substantially alter the
current average labor cost per per-
son.
The board would require 100
hours of work per month, but not
to exceed an 8-hour day or a 40
hour week. The present national
monthly average of all workers
would not be changed, the commit
tee said, and individual earnings
would not be lessened. The revision,
however, would have the effect of
increasing the hours worked by
higher-paid workers.
The committee proposed that the
Secretary of Agriculture be per-
mitted to accept from recipients of
farm security grants voluntary
agreements for work on useful
projects
1t wrote a stipulation, too, that no
Federal construction project, except
flood control and water conserva-
ton work, authorized under any law
should be undertaken unless Fed
eral funds sufficient for their COM
pletion had been allocated.
Republicans served notice they
would renew their efforts to turn
administration of relief back to the
| States and local communities, limit
ing the Federal Governments par
ticipation to footing the major share
| of the cost.
More Interested in Policies.
Were more concerned about pol
icies than amounts just now," one
influential Republican said, "be-
cause the $1,477, 100000 the Presi-
dent has requested for the w. P. A..
is 773,000,000 less than it got for
the current year."
Rumblings of another controversy
during the relief debate were heard
among proponents of large fund
for public works. Representative
Starnes, Democrat, of Alabama in
dicated he would offer an amend
ment to earmark s500.OOO00O for
P. w. A., $100,0OO,OO of which would
be for such Federal projects as
post offices.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference yesterday he hoped relief
money would not be earmarked for
P. w. A., adding that this would
mean taking care of fewer persons
on relief rolls.
Reporting by letter to President
Roosevelt yesterday on the results
OF the National-Right-to-Work Con-
gress, held here last week, the
Workers Alliance urged the admin
istration to set as its goal a
national income of $4,000, 900 900.
The letter, signed by President
David LASER and Secretary Herbert
Benjamin, said the congress felt the
Government could accomplish this
objective by an adequate" program
OF public works and by assisting
private industry through extension
of credits.

Cunningham Out
 To Beat BOrican| In '1,OOO' Tonight
BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff COrreSnOndenf

New York, March 11-CUP)- Glenn Cunningham will try for his seventh straight Columbian mile victory in the Knights of Columbus track meet at Madison Square Gar den tonight, but the effort will be strictly secondary to his attempt to beat Johnny Borican at 1000 yards.
 Glenn has run II times this win ter, and his only setback came when he tangled with Borican at 1000 yards in the Seton hall games on the flat floor of the Newark. N. J., Armory. Borican, lanky FL beron, N. J., Negro who is con- sidered the big find" of the indoor season, is undefeated at the dist ance. .9
 Cunningham also will be striving to stretch his domain from 1000 yards to two miles. He beat the two-mile indoor record holder, Don Lash, last week; he has been in- v1ncible at a mile this year; he re- talned his 1500-meter national in- door title, and now he is trying to master Borican over a distance for which he already holds the world record.
 Cunningham was pressed to a 2:1O.1 victory in his memorable duel with Chuck Hornbostel four years ago in just another such double" as he is running tonight.
 oBrican also will compete in two events, being entered for the Casey 6O0-yard run, but the 1,00O-yard af- fair is scheduled previous to both the 500 and the mile.
 This is the 20th edition of the K. of c New York chapters games. and a crowd of 15,000 or more is anticipated for the Cunningham- Borican natural" Being the last New York meet of the winter sea- son each year, it has the reputation of producing the fastest indoor competition of the circuit. Many experts are predicting that Cum ningham and Borican will better Glenn's record tonight regardless of which wins.
 While the 1000 absorbed most of the advance spotlight, the mile, the 600 and the two-mile will come in for their share. Participation by Glenn and Johnny first in the 1,OOO IS expected to give their rivals a better chance in the 500 and the mile. Cunningham will try to out foot his perennial rivals, Charles Fenske, Gene Venzke and Archie San Romani at eight furlongs. Bo- rican has his work cut out for him in his other start. Every 6OO-yard winner of the season including Wes- ley Wallace, Bill Fritz of Canada, Charley Beetham.. Dick Gill, and Jimmy Herbert. will be running against him. Herbert, the defend- mg champion, also holds the rec ord of LII.

Yank Wins in Straight Sets-Match Drew Only

By HENRY SUPER

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, March 11-(UP)-Don- aid Budge and Fred Perry moved to Boston today for the second stop on their transscontinental tennis tour.
 Budge, to the surprise of no one, was one up after a straight set e1, 6-3. GO victory in the in- augrral match in the semi-privacy of Madison Square Garden last night.
 It had been billed as a Shooting match" A feud, hotter than any in the West Virginia hills, was supposed to be on. All week they had pitched around nasty words about each others games and the customers came hoping for action.
 Unfortunately for the promoters, the feud did not break out on the court. And the slim crowd of about 5000 which paid $14,000, semed dis appointed. Budge was the master all the way, licking Perry even more handsomely than he did Ellsworth Vines in January in his first match as a professional. Donald has been guaranteed $75,00 for his first year as 8 professional and the way he dusted of Perry and the size of last nights crowd made the promoters fearful that thistour might be 8 flop.
 The Vines match here in January drew 8 gate of $47, ,120 and the Vines tour in which Budge won 9 of 39 matches, was financial success be- cause the nation wanted to see Budge. But now it has seen him and last night seemed to indicate that the customers no longer are as in- terested as they were.
 As an amateur, Perry had been Don's master, licking him four out of the six times they played.
 But last night he was just an- other tennis player. He did nothing right while Budge operated as flaw lessly as Swiss watch. Perry has been called one of the steadiest play Clo, UAkC WOllu 1ldo CvCI oCG11. Uuu Budge forced him to make many errors.
 In the first set, Budge was com Perry, who hadn't played any con1- plete master. But 1t seemed that petitive tennis since his tour last year with Vines, would settle down any moment. He made 8 game bid early in the second set and had Don running al lover the baseline with cross-court placements. But, with games at two-all, he double -faulted away the winning point in the fifth game on his own service and that was the ball-game. From then on he was easy prey and his game got wilder and wilder. In all, he won but four games.
 T was trying to force him too much,. Perry said. T missed the easy ones and Budge was getting 'em. That makes . difference. Budge Is much improved, in all departments of play"

 Entry In

Arcadia, Cal. March 11.-tUP)- Eight of the first nine horses which chased Kayak II home in the Santa Anita handicap and another 16 apparently out for the exercise - run at a longer distance today in a $25 ,000-added cup race which closes the fifth winter meeting at Santa Anita.
 Forty-thousand citizens, who won't have another opportunity to bet the ponies until Hollywood Park opens in June, thronged the park to watch the big field step a mile and a half in the fifth running of the San Juan Capistrano Handicap, longest stake race in the west.
 Despite heavy rains recently, the Brown loam strip had dried fast under a bright sun and was only slightly off. The forecast was for continued fair, so Major A. c. Tay- lor's Whichcee and Townsend Mar tins Cravat ranked co-favorites on the morning line at Al. There was support aplenty for the Howard Mccarthy entry of today and Go- sum, Edward Friendly's Jacola, and A. A. Banronis combination of Specify and No Dice, and some for Mrs. Emil Denemark's War Min strel. From there on down the prices were long and the chances slim.
 Whichcee drew IF pounds and Jockey Basil James, and along with Specify = IF and Charlie Corbett = was the choice of Bettors who favored speed over Stamina Although the former was second and the latter fourth after setting a blistering pace in the 5000 santa Anita, their ability at a distance is questionable.
 Cravat, coupled with Galapas holds the best record for the mile and half, and appeared the solid selection. He was top-weighted at ll8, and ridden by Jackie Westrope. Galapas carried 105. Gosum came in at 110 with regular rider Allan Gray. and today at Ill with Johnny Adams. "
