Virginia, but Faulkner waived extra
dition and returned here voluntarily
yesterday.
The accused eX-postmaster went
to police headquarters and the court
house accompanied by his attorney,
Robert E. Lynch, and bondsmen.
Indications are that Mr.. Faulkner
will be arraigned a week from to-
morrow. His attorney, occupied
with the bootleg cream case in
Police Court, said he assumed Mr.
Faulkner had gone back to Martins
burg after posting bond and would
return for arraignment later. United
States Attorney Pine said the ar
raignment would be set for June 30
unless the defense requested it on
tomorrow's calendar and waived the
usual two-day notice.
A trial date will not be set until
after Mr.. Faulkner is arraigned and
enters plea.
The indictment, in five counts, is
based on the allegation that Mr..
Faulkner denied before the investi-
eating committee certain statements
he is reputed to have made to Bruce
B. Derrick, secretary treasurer of
the MarylandVirginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association. and to unnamed
persons in a hotel room.
Mr.. Derrick testified the former
postmaster had offered to influence
the investigation, if the association
paid him 81 900.
With the resignation of Mr.. Faulk-
ner, Marlin S. Eckerd, Martinsburg
salesman, was sworn in as acting
postmaster on the recommendation
of Representative Randolph, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia. He will serve
until the Civil Service Commission
holds an examination to fill the

earnings Of these Government in
vestments and used to finance new
projects at times when there is need
of extra stimulus to employment
Such times will recur in the future,
as they have in the past, and there
will always be need for public
facilities and Improvements in our
natural resources, which can be most
profitably met by the use at times
OF greatest need of employment Of
the accumulated receipts of such a
revolving fund.
AT my suggestion various depart
ments and agencies of the Govern
ment have canvassed the situation
to find projects which will meet
genuine public needs-projects that
can be put under way quickly and,
of great Importance, will be self
liquidating. They have found a va
riety OF such projects which have
stood the test of careful scrutiny
and which hold the promise of a
great volume of productive ex-
penditure and employment. I be-
lieve this is much sounder method
of dealing with the problem than
the diversion of $125, 900, 900 of work.
relief funds. All can be financed
through the issuance of guaranteed
securities by Government agencies
with good prospect of repayment
of both principal and interest
through earnings.
I have caused estimates to be
made of the extent of the field for
investment of funds in revenue
earning channels on a self -liquidat-
ing basis and in no way competi-
tive with private enterprise. The es-
Inmates are, believe, conservative.
The types of projects I have in
mind are listed below, together with
the sums which, it is estimated, can
be put to work to provide employ
ment for men and machines in di-
verse lines Of industry within the
coming fiscal year. These projects
are in addition to programs already
submitted.

1.-THE republic was declared in 1916

in the December, 1898, elections,
when 1t was the issue. The people
voted overwhelmingly for The re-

republic was attacked by British
troops. In 1922, by a coup detat,
England established the Irish Free
State, but We have always given
our allegiance to the republic for
which the Irish people voted.
