ously concerned over the possibility
that the 2,500,000 or more persons
now on the w. P: A. rolls might have
to be dropped unless Congress acted
quickly.
Representative Woodrum. Demo-
crat, of Virginia, who is in charge
of the measure in the House, said
at least four major amendments
were being drafted by various
members.
1T looks as if we will pass the bill
in about the same form the COM
mittee recommended" Represent
ative Woodrum said after his ex-
planation of the measure yesterday
drew bipartisan applause and three
shouts for more"
Representative Bradley, Democrat,
Of Pennsylvania, called group
meeting to frame an amendment in
creasing the $1,477 ,00000 recon-
mended by the House Appropria-
tions Committee and the President
for w. P. A. in the year starting
July /.
Other Amendments Sought.
Other amendments to be offered
would:
/. Seek to restore $4,000 900 cut
by the committee from budget rec
concentrations for the National
Youth Administration, for which
the bill provides $81 900 900.
2. Propose elimination of the
$25, 900 limit placed on w. P. A. con-
struction projects.
3. Provide for turning over relief
administration to the States. Re-
publicans are formulating this
amendment.
While the House was continuing
its three-day debate, word passed
around the cloakrooms that the Ap-
preparations Committee would seek
another 100000 for carrying on its
w. P. A. investigation during the
summer.
The investigating subcommittee
was allocated $4,000 originally, but
1t indicated yesterday it was not
through. 1t will submit a partial
report soon.
100000 Cut by 1910.
Representative Bradley said he
would seek an appropriation more
adequately to take care of relief on
the basis of the present load" He
noted that the bill would provide for
an average relief EMPLOYMENT next
year Of slightly more than 1000 900
persons, or a cut of 1000, 900 by June,
1910.
The committee said the program
contemplated a reduction from an
average of 2.500,0O0 IN June, 1899, to
100000 in June, 1910, but quoted
President Roosevelt as saying ex-
pectation of an upward trend in en-
ployment was justified.
Representative Woodrum told the
House the bill would provide one
third less than relief funds for the
current year. would give more Jobs
through a system of rotating w. P.
A. work and would strike a BODY
blow at relief racketeering.
WOodrum Applauded.

Mr.. Woodrum, leader of the House
economy bloc, finished a Commute

TERRIERS DEFEAT
 ALUMNI ELEVEN

St. Margaret's ''Terriers" continued their onward march in 1939's foot ball parade yesterday afternoon by upsetting St. Margaret's Alumni eIeven by the score of 13 to 12. The nick-and tuck battle was staged in old Brassco Park and the Terriers just "clawed" their way to another win despite the handicap in size and weight. For the winning aggregation J. Melville and T. Don- ahue scored touchdown apiece and H. Cristafano booted the ball over for the extra point and for the mar gin of victory. Conlan scored the two big six markers for his team. He shared the honors of the day for the alumni with McHale and Mo- Quire, two consistent ground gathers, according to official dispatches from the "war area"
 The Terriers showed knowledge of a variety of plays and were strong on the defense when the alumni machine rolled into position to score. The youngsters have issued chal- lenge to any public or parochial grammar school team unde IA years of age. A letter in care of the sports department" of the Demo- crat will be sufficient to arrange series of games.
 Tn addition to their point scorers J. Melville, T. Donahue and H. Cris- tafano, the Terriers lineup includes such coming collegiate stars of 1945-46 as Berg, Walsh, Dunphy Tuohy, 0. Melville, Hebert, Green Harrington and Thomas.

CRACKERJACK JRS.,
 DEFEAT DUKES
BY JAMES NATALIE

The Town Plot Crackerjack Jrs. won their initial game of the season at Washington Park Sunday when they defeated the South Leonard Dukes by the score of 13-0. The first touchdown was made in the opening quarter when Cordigiani ran IS yards. In the third quarter Sandy Santora threw forward pass over the goal line which was completed by the Jack Jrs. end, Tony Corbo for the second touchdown. Santora then threW another completed pass to Corbo for the extra point, mak- ing the score at the end of the game 13-0 with the Dukes at the short end.
 The Dukes, headed by Joe Coviel- 10, played a very good game. The Dukes came near making a touch- down in the third quarter when they had the ball on the 3-yard line and they couldn't gain because of the strong line of the Jack Jrs.
 Next week Sunday the Cracker jack Jrs. will play the Fulton Red- skins at Fulton Park at 2:30. The Redskins who claim to be the city junior champs last year are yet to play the Jack Jrs., who didn't lose a single game last year, and was scored upon but only once.
