|WPA GRANTED
USE OF NAVAL
HOSPITAL HERE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN
RADIO MESSAGE RECEIVED
BY LIEUTENANT COM.
WANDER CALLAHAN

Lieutenant Commander Fort
Callahan, U. S. NJ, officer in
charge at the naval station, has
been advised in a radio message,
received last night, from the sec
rotary of the navy that the
Works Project Administration
has been granted the use of the
naval hospital, United and Semi
nary streets, as an office build
ing.
When it was found necessary to
stop the use of the marine bar
racks in the naval station as the
offices for the WPA, it was de-
cided that other locations must
be secured. and when Congress
man Pat Cannon was here last
week, at a meeting held with
Commander Callahan and Mayor
Willard M. Albury, it was de-
cided to start negotiations with a
view to securing the naval hos
pital with the result as noted in
the foregoing.
1t was said at the offices of the
WPA today that activities will
be underway tomorrow to move
all the furniture and other inn
pedimenta into the new quar-
tiers.

DODGE CORPORATION REPORTS
BETTER BUSINESS THIS YEAR
tspeeial 10 The Cltlxenl

construction industry were con-
.tacted by Dodge Reports in the
Southeast. Sixty eight percent
of them said their business was
better" this year than it was
last year. Twenty percent said,
worse" and IL percent felt that
lit was the same" 81
The investigation revealed that
many of the small firms whose
business was worse than last year
placed the blame on keen COM
petition. They claim that jobs
iare being taken at prices which
ARE too low to include the fair
f. profit which they look to DIS their
business incentive: High taxation,
governmental activities, 1 /. a n d
union demands WERE i:calied the
chief business deterreiits by sew
eral firms. Il
/. Inc smallest group OF firms,
I, those who said their business was
about the same as it was last year,
also pointed to allegedly un-
l.healthy competition as the princi-
pal cause of their unchanged Sit
uation.
In the three groups, firms with
specially services and products
had individual reasons for their
business gains or losses.
Dodge Reports says that bust
ness conditions for small firms in
the construction industry of the
Southeast are far above the aver
ages found in the investigation
lof about 1000 firms throughout
THE 81 states east of the Rocky
Mountains.
In the broader area 50 percent
i,of the small firms described their
business ais better this year, %
spercent said worse" and 10 per-
cent were at last years level.

along the roadway. Inside the
wall it is planned to plant grass
and shrubs. The roadway in
front of the monument also needs
oiling, according to the post COM
mittee.
Commander Schoneck has
agreed to prepare plans for the
work. Later he intends to. call
the matter to attention of Monroe
county commission and the state
road department. 1t is hoped to
get enough rock, plants, shrubs,
oil and other materials for con-
tribution towards a WPA project
to complete the work seemingly
required. It is estimated the
whole job can be done for less
than 81, 900.
The monument was built by
WPA as result of money adj
Ivanced by subscriptions collected
largely in the Miami area, Com
mander Schoneck said. 1T is a
beautiful monument, but needs
better surroundings and an inn
proved background. Thousands
of tourists annually visit the
spot, and it should be made as
beautiful as possible. Arthur
Sawyer Post hopes to have an
improvement project under way
by Arrnistice Day"

ATLANTA, Aug. 29.-Business
is better this year for small firms
in the construction industry of
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, east
ern Tennessee. South and North
Carolina, according to the ma
jority-opinion in an investigation
of conditions, conducted by the
Dodge Reports Division by F. w.
Dodge Corporation
A general increase in building
activities, particularly in the
residential field as result of
more liberal mortgage arrange
ments under FILA, was the most
popular reason for the brighter
color of Southeastern business.
Many of the small firms attribute
their better positions to their own
more vigorous sales and advertis-
ing efforts.
An electrical distributor in At
lanta described his business as
definitely better" and explained
that with more potential BUSH
ness in view, we have increased
our sales force which has resulted
,favorably. However, the princi-
pal difficulty is that competition
is inclined to take business at
too short a profit.
In Burlington, North Carolina,
a savings and loan association de
scribed the reason for improved
conditions as being due to "peo-
pie are becoming more home
ownership minded A general
return of confidence in financial
institutions on the part of the in
vesting public has also helped our
business in particular and the
building business in general,

Was In Distress On
August Is About $50
Miles From Key West In

Wrecking Tug Warbler arrived
in port this morning 1890 o'clock
conveying the ship Fernslen

Salvage Master c. L. Peterson
said today that the Fernglen did
not suffer much damage, and a
few days after reaching the
scene she had been floated. The
vessel had 10000 ton cargo of
cotton and chromite, from the
Philippine Islands, and was bound
to some port in the United States,
which while not positively known
is said to be probably Chester,
Pa. but will not be definitely
known, until the ship reaches
northern waters.
Shortly after The arrival Of the
Warbler and Fernglen, the latter
vessel was taken in convoy by
the Tug Peacock, which arrived
here several days ago for the
purpose from New Orleans, and
will proceed to a point in north
ern waters where definite in
structions are to be received as
to where the Fernglen is to pro-
coed.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-Prime
Minister Chamberlain reported
officially TO the special session of
parliament this morning, relating
the governments reply to the VI
timatum issued by Hitler last
weekend.
As continued hour upon hour
passes in the European scene
with no definite action seen by
Hitler, additional hope is ex-
pressed by all nations abroad
that the crisis may be averted by
peaceful means.
Authorities are attaching great
significance to the delay ofsaction
by Hitler. 1t was first thought
that the forceful tone of Cham
berlain's reply, stating that Eng
land would entertain no Settle
ment of the crisis ifIPplanh ter
ritorial integrity was at all at
stake, would bring quick and de-
cisive action from the Nazis in
the form of military aggression
against Poland.
AS the action is held off. and
Hitler is reported in secret con-
ference with his aides. the report
is being circulated that the Ger
man fuehrer realizes that the de-
cision of "war or peace" is en-
tirely up to him. The reply.
however. is expected within the
next twelve hours, possibly by
early evening tonight.
British statesmen call attention
to the extreme danger that still
exists, and corresponding meas
ures are being taken to bring the
war machinery "up to snuff for
any eventuality. All branches of
the army. navy and air force are
reported to be poised for imme
date action should be call come
to defend Poland.
Italy, while subscribing through
diplomatic channels to an effort
to settle the issues in peaceful
manner. is, nevertheless, issuing
stringent orders for war prepare
ton. Depopulation of large
cities is being considered and
many food restrictions have al
ready been placed.

Poland. as ever. remains COM
psratively calm through all of
the "war of nerves, the while
observing thousands of German
soldiers at her frontiers awaiting
marching orders to cross the bor-
der into her lands.
Chambrelain's speech to par
lament expressed the hope that
out of the present difficulties
could come definite understand
ing between Germany and Eng
land of permanent nature. The
comparatively conservative news
paper, The London Times, hove
ever, headlined an article bitterly
denouncing Hitler for turning on
his former friends.
Other statesmen of France and
Italy appear glum on the chances
for peace. One noted diplomat
