Plan 10 Train Men
To Hold Skilled
Jobs Described
locoI W. P. A. Director
Reports Shortage Of
Experienced Workers

How the District w. P. A. is plan
ming to train men to hold skilled
jobs for which there is a demand
was related to the family welfare
division of the Council of Social
Agencies at a meeting yesterday in
the Central Y. w. c. A. by Paul
Edwards, director of the local
w. P. A.
Despite large numbers of the un-
employed. Mr. Edwards said. there
is a demand for skilled workers
which cannot be met.
He illustrated by saying that bis
office yesterday received call from
the United States Employment Of
fee for eight tinsmiths. and there
was not man on the rolls who could
qualify.
There are scarcities of skilled
workmen in the building, trades and
a demand exists here for qualifiea
stenographers, Mr.. Edwards said.
The educational program will be
open to persons eligible for w. P. A.
jobs and to others desiring training
who cannot pay for it.
The agency at present has a prof.
ect for training domestics, for which
there is large demand, and the new
training projects will be organized
along similar lines.
10000 on Rolls Here
The district now has 10000 per-
sons on w. P. A. rolls, with 5000
others certified as in need for whom
no jobs are available.
Mr.. Edwards pointed out that the
Board of Public Welfare does not
have sufficient funds to give direct
relief to families in which there is
an employable member, and that
the 5000 for whom the w. P. A.
cannot provide jobs have no assist
ance whatsoever.
The speaker said any serious cur
tailment of the w. P. A. program
would result in acute suffering.
The total Federal money spent
here since the beginning of w. P. A.
has been about s28,000000, of which
80 per cent went for wages. The
Districts grocers, landlords and
merchants benefited from this in.
crease in purchasing power, Mr.. Ed
wards said, and the District re-
ceived new sewers, sidewalks, water
mains, highways. parks, an airport
and numerous other improvements.
Savin Reports on Study
William Savin, director of the
Family Service Association, reported
on a study made by subcommittee
of a new plan in operation in %
cities whereby surplus food is dis
tributed to needy families by neigh
borhood groceries under stamp
system instead of through one ware
house.
Mr.. Savin said that under the new
plan the families can obtain the
food they really need instead of be-
ing obliged to accept what Is avail
able.
Reports also were heard from Miss
Clara Bradley of the National Cath
olic School of Social Service, and
Mrs. Olive Swinney, family welfare
secretary of the council.

In taking up the problem of recre-
ational concessions in the parks, the
Wagner-Sauers report makes a pro-
posal, which, If it could be effected,
would cause a widespread change in
present policy and, for one thing.
enable the direct operation of pub
lie golf courses, now operated on a
lease by the S. G. Leofner Operating
Co., by the National Capital Parks.
A bill presented to Congress last
February would expand the author
ity of the Secretary OF the Interior
to include granting privileges, leases
and permits in lands In the District
of Columbia as well as in the hold
ings of the National Park Service.
At present such privileges, leases
and permits are granted through the
Of1ce of Nation Capital Parks by
virtue of authority vested when the
parks Office was the independent
Office of Public Buildings and
Grounds. Because the legal division
Of the National Park Service felt
there was some argument as to
whether the Office of National Cap
ital Parks, the name taken by the
ONCE of Public Buildings and
Grounds after it was transferred
under executive order into the In
terror Department. still has the right
to grant such privileges, permits and
leases, the bill was drawn up and
submitted so that there could be no
possible Comeback"
Revision Proposed.
Mr.. Wagner and Mr.. Sauers pro-
pose to revise this bill, which never
was acted upon by Congress, or to
substitute another bill which will
permit the National Capital Parks
to conduct as q Government func-
tion, or to grant privileges, leases
and permits to others to conduct
such accommodations and con-
veniences to park visitors as are
ordinarily known as concessions and
facilities where fees are collected"
Yet the National Capital Parks
have this choice now and would
have the same choice under the pro-
visions of the bill, if enacted. How
ever, to operate facilities directly,
the National Capital Parks would
have to do so by direct appropria-
tions Cthey are prohibited by law
from setting up a revolving fund.-
which would have to be fought
through Congress every year. The
parks also would have to buy all
materials and articles for sale, such
as food, from the approved Govern
ment supply schedule. made up
through countrywide competitive
bidding, ard would have to hire all
operative personnel, no matter how
seasonal or temporary. through civil
service, q laborious and lengthy pro-
cedure.
Therefore, legal experts of the
National Park Service said today,
1t is to be inferred that the two COL
laborators meant not so much that
the parks Office be given choice Of
how facilities should be operated,
but that these restrictions be waived
by special act of Congress so that
the parks office could run the con-

occupants of the Pacific Coast
league, put on an exhibition TIT
here last night. Tacoma stopped
them, S to 2.
Herman Reich, who belongs to
Portland, apparently determined
to make a good impression, slug
ged a home run over the left field
fence in the first inning, scoring
Mattos ahead of him.
Reich's homer set the style
for the evening. Before the
game was over. home runs by
Vince Hartman and Ralph
Mountain accounted for five
more Tacoma runs.
Hartman hit his four-baser
over the left field barrier in the
third inning when Medeghini was
on base, and Mountain tailed
Garretson and Abbott ahead of
him with his homer over the right
field fence in the fifth frame.
Tacoma also counted a run in
the fourth when Colbern walked,
stole second and scored on Pitcher
Bill Anton's wild throw to first
after Mcmillan had tapped a
grounder to the mound.
The Beevers counted a run in
the fifth on a walk, an infield out
and single; and added one more
tally in the eighth frame when
Johnny Frederick, who had singled
scored on frankie Hawkins drive
to left centerfield.
Ray Medeghini and Joe
Walker, south paw, shared the
pitching burden for Tacoma.
Walker, who has been pitching
for the Consumers Meat club
of the Western Washington
league, made his first appear
ance in a Tiger uniform and,
the truth is, he looked good,
making many of the hard
hitting Beaver batters seem
foolish as they attempted to
bash his slow curves.
Bill Anton, former Willamette
hoop star, hurled for Portland
until the eighth inning, when he
was hit on the finger of his right
hand by a drive off the bat of
Buster Mcmillan, Tiger catcher.

Apparently confident that the city manager charter will be approved by the voters of Waterbury at the special election Oct. 3, some mem- bers of the Citizens Good Govern ment association were today re- ported seeking to line up candidates to run for councilmen and educa- tion commissioners, the only elective offices provided in the proposed charter. Several prominent citizens are said to have been approached and asked If they would run for office if the new charter is &C., cepted
 The city election will be held Nov. 14. If the charter is approved Oct. 3, the voters will elect seven councilmen and seven members of the board of education. If 1t is re- jected, a mayor and other city of- ficials will be elected as in the past. Party organization would have little effect under the city manager charter, since councilmen and edu- cation commissioners would be nominated by petition and would be elected under the Proportional Representation system. The charter provides for a mayor, but he would be chosen by the councilmen from among their number and would serve principally as a figurehead. The principal figure in the city government would be the city man. ager, who would be chosen by the council and have Jurisdiction over all city departments.

LOUIS VALLEY
 GIVEN S1,200
Seymour Man Hurt Har- vesting Ice, Also Gets
 Medical Expenses

Injured while harvesting ice Jan- uary 30, 1889, Louis Valley of Sey- mour today collected $1 200 cornpen- sation and $61934 medical expenses. from Anthony and Edward Fan- notto of Seymour, according to the terms of a stipulated award ap- proved by Compensation Commis- sioner James M. Lynch.
 At a hearing yesterday afternoon, 1t was agreed, after much contro- versy, that the accident in which Valley sustained serious injuries to the left knee, was caused by the negligence of Edward Fannotto. Valley worked for Anthony Fannot- to.
 The insurance company protecting Fannotto. represented by Attorney William Healey, agreed to pay Val- ley 5000 for his injuries, plus $819.34 medical expenses. Edward Fannotto agreed to pay Valley S200 in addition, and received release of liability. Attorney Edward Mas colo of Waterbury appeared for the Fannottos, and Attorney Joseph Perelmutter represented Valley.
