Concrete Schedule Depends Upon
New Government Appropriations

In less than a month, Grand CouleG
dam construction will be underway
agsin, ii weather is moderate.
Edgar +. Kaiser, project manager
for Consolidated Builders, Inc, an
nounced Tuesday the company had
&ft February Is as the date to start
the 1910 concrete pouring program.
He said The temperature at that time
would be the final governing factor
but specified the company definitely
would moi resume operations hefoce
February Is.
Should the weather he mild and
prospects for a continuous high tenn
peraturs prevail pouring will start
then. A cold snap in mid-February
would prolong the winter lay-off, he
aaid.
The company plans to pour between
100000 and 100000 cubic yards
IN 1910, kaFser said. This total will
be about onethird Of the 1899 yard
age.
About 100000 yards will remain
TO be poured in 1871, which IS ex.
pected TO be the last year of the CB,
contract. The time limit of the con-
tract is March, 1912 Bridge piers,
the highway over the dam and elevat-
or towers are among the pours PLAN
ned for 1a41.
Obi submitted its 1910 program II
the reclamation bureau in November.
and now is making revision for earlA
presentation to government engineers
The revisions bring the plan up to
date as of January 1, 1910.
Obi employment will reach years
high of $500 in March, will drop to
about 5000 in May and rise again
slightly after the spring high water,
Kaiser declared. The government and
other contractors viii employ about
1000 men.
The years program is based on the
presumption that an $S,000,00O de-
ficiency allotment will be made avail
able to pay for construction until
July, and s12,OOO,oO0 will be appro-
priated for the fiscal year 1940-l94I,

lists, with feathers in their caps.
Troops of this type formerly were
stationed on the French front.
Greek guards accompanying the
prisoners said they offered all their
money and even wedding rings for
food when captured.
Neutral observers took this as an
indication that British and Greek
naval action in the Adriatic was
making it difficult for Italy to sup
ply her Albanian troops.
There were consistent reports from
Albania, even before the Fascist
invasion of Greece, of a shortage
of food there.

the pilots of both planes were rated
highly.
Fifteen passengers and three
members of the crew were killed.
The passengers were identified as

BOSTON, Nov. 9.-Maj. Gen
Jane A. Wooduff, commander of the
1st Corps Area, said last night the
War Department had postponed
s{ew England's second draft call
scheduled for December 2 and he
added he believed the reason was
that barracks aren't going up as
rapidly as We had hoped"
1t was now expected that the call
would be made early in January.
Gen. Woodruff said that while no
reason was given by the War Depart
ment, it was his opinion authorities
want to make sure that the first
draft call on November 18 goes
smoothly" and that they want to
avoid "overcrowding" Of present
facilities at reception centers.
He said that while work was "pro-
crossing well" at Camp Edwards on
Cape Cod, barracks aren't going
up as rapidly as we had hoped" at
Portland. Me; Portsmouth, N. H;

Ashes Sifted in Probing Girls
Staying and Cremation in N. Y.
Churred Bone Bits
Sought to Establish
Corpus DeIicti
BY tie Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Police tech
nicians sifted furnace ashes today in
search for charred bone fragments
that would establish a corpus deficit
in the Staying and cremation of 10
year-old Genevieve Connolly.
Thomas Conroy, 38-year-old build
ing superintendent, confessed yes
terday that he throttled the child
and burned her body in a furnace
because he feared the girl might tell
her mother he had kissed her, As
sistant District Attorney Sylvester
Ryan said.
Medical Examiner Charles Hoch-
mann said only few particles had
been found which may prove to be
bits of charred bone," but 81 am
afraid it will be extremely difficult
to make certain now"
May Invoke Kidnap Law.
On the other hand, District Attor-
ney Samuel j. Foley expressed belief
that if experts were able to testify
the fragments were bones of a
young female, this-together with
the confession-will be about all the
evidence we need to establish a cor
pus delicti."
If the ashes prove worthless, it
will be possible still to prosecute un-
der the State kidnapping law, which
carries the death penalty and does
not require establishing a corpus
delicti, Prosecutor Foley said.
The blue-eyed, red-haired girl had
been missing two days when Con-
roy, a native of the same county
in Ireland from which the Con-
nollys came, broke down and de-
clared, 81 want to get this off my
conscience"
Mr.. Ryan quoted Conroy as say
ing he had kissed and tried to
fondle the child after she had
run an errand for him. When she
cried he became panicky, clamped
his hand over her mouth, carried
her to the basement and threw her
on a coal pile where he choked her.
Mr.. Ryan further quoted Conroy
II heard a gurgling sound and
pressed her throat harder and harder
till she stopped.
Then I opened the furnace door
and threw her in the fire box. I
took a couple of shovels of coal
and threw them on her. Then
went back into the apartment"
Twice later, he told police, he
threw coal into the furnace and
before going TO bed he opened the
drafts wide. The next morning he
removed the ashes. They were taken
away by the department of santa
ton that day. Police had only the
few ashes remaining in the furnace
to work with.
Conroy was charged with homicide.

British Officials Admit
Concern al German
U-Boat Destruction
Need for More Cargo
Space, Fighting Ships
Is Acknowledged
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-Britain claim!
to have almost as much merchan
shipping space as she had when tht
war began, despite German air, sur.
face and submarine raiders, but of.
ficials acknowledged today their con.
ce1n over the destruction wrought
and threatened by Germany's
counter blockade.
The British admit the loss by SUBJ
marine action of 3547,000 tons oi
their own, Allied and neutral ship
ping in the IA months of the wal
Gas against the German claim OF
7,162,200 tons destroyed by all sorts
of action).
This loss, they insist, has been al
most replaced by new construction
and chartering of non-British ships
but Britain's need for more shipping
space and sufficient fighting ships
to guard it without weakening other
sectors of her naval power is open
ly acknowledged.
The job of keeping Britain's vital
cargoes moving has been compli-
Gated by indications that German
surface raiders. including at least
one pocket battleship, are on the
loose in the North Atlantic.
May Use Morse Base.
The pocket battleship presumably
is the Admiral Scheer, counterpart
of the Admiral Graf Spec which was
scuttled by her own commander
after three British cruisers chased
her into Montevideo last December
Her working base presumably is
some Norwegian port.
Not only must strong naval units
be diverted in the effort to track
down the pocket battleship but SO
long as she is on the high seas 1t
seems that stronger forces must be
assigned to conveys to and from
America.
The so American destroyers traded
for bases in the Western Hemisphere
have helped bolster Britain's convoy
resources, but the needs Of the navy
run into hundreds of escort vessels,
large and small.
indicative of the need for keeping
up her naval guard elsewhere is
the belief that italian submarines,
given half a chance, might escape
from the Mediterranean to CO.
operate with Germany's Atlantic
U-boats.
Atlantic Victims Claimed.
rf,4 10 donIorn thniy
submarines already are claiming VIC
tins in the Atlantic sealaneS.
The British, who divide Germany's
submarine toll into $4,000 tons
for the first nine months of the
war and 1851, 900 tons for the next
five, just ended. note the increase
In the latter period and see indi-
cations of an even stronger under
water campaign this winter.
To Germany's submarine bases
on the Atlantic, from Norway to
Spain, the British credit the growing
rate of U-boat successes. These
bases have added hundreds of miles
to the effective range of the SUBJ,
marines and has permitted greater
use Of smaller craft of restricted
range.
1t is probable, the British say, that
the Germans have discovered the
secret of the submarine detector,
with which all British naval vessels
are equipped. 1t has been suggested
that the Germans gained their
knowledge after the collapse of
France, probably through examina-
ton of the device on some French
warship.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When Russia took full power over
Finland in 1909, promise was made
to the Finnish people that they
would have power to make their own
laws, except that they would have
10 right to deal with any question
of foreign policy
The promise was kept fairly well
for 80 years. Then Gar Nicholas
began to limit the power Of the
Firms. Russian spies spread through
Finland, newspapers were shut
down. and some of the Finnish
leaders were sent into exile.
Finnish workers carried out a
national strike" in 1905, and the
car gave in to some extent. Other
troubles followed, however, and
there was ill-feeling until the out
break of the World War. We are
told that during the war the Firms
"prayed for Russia's defeat"
The Firms were glad when Czar
Nicholas lost his throne, but the
event was followed by trouble In
side Finland. Reds" were matched
against whites" in struggle to
obtain control of the land.
For time the Reds had the up
per hand, and a Soviet government
was started at Helsinki 1t seemed
likely that Finland would be one of
the republics in Soviet Russia.
A baron, Carl Gustav Manner
helm, gathered as many White
soldiers as possible, and waged war
on the Red Films" The latter were
given help by Russian Bolsheviks.
