D. {. Heads Seek $55,960
For CeItification Agency

A supplemental budget for $55,-
$50 to be used for setting up an
agency to certify w. p. A. eligibles
for work and surplus commodities
was submitted yesterday to the
Budget Bureau by the District Com
missioners.
At the same time, the Commits
sioners requested use of 1880 to
begin operation Of this agency on
April I, for the remainder Of this
fiscal year. The $55o60 would carry
the program through the fiscal year
194l.
Need for the service resulted from
an order last September by Federal
Works Project Commissioner F. C..
Harrington, who notified local au-
thorities certif1cation work by his
agency would have to be terminated.
Several delays on the order resulted
after that date, pending the Com
missioners' request for funds from
Congress.
The District now certifies persons
other than those on w. p. A. rolls
for surplus commodities. Local Of
f1cials have agreed with Col. Har-
rington that al certification should
be made by one agency.

Randolph Will Request
Stadium Bill Approval

The House District Committee will
be asked tomorrow by its chairman,
Representative Randolph, Democrat
of West Virginia to report favoraoly
his bill authorizing erection OF q
stadium and development OF q
recreational center In Anacostia
Park at the terminus of East Capt.

The proposed project has the ap-
proval Of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. Ine
Commissioners have notified MI.
Randolph they also approve. it. II It
does not tap the local treasury a.
this time, because the municipal
government is not In position to
carry an additional burden.
Mr.. Randolph, however. has been
told by Frederic A. Delaf1o. chairman
of the Parking and Planning Com
mission, that the project Is not on
President Roosevelt's legislative pro-
gram.
The President. it is reported, has
not indorsed the project because q
method Of financing the original
cost had not yet been approved by
the Budget Bureau It is proposed
to make it self -liquidating.
The Randolph bill does not pro-
vide a method Of financing, bui
merely authorizes the project. II
view of that situation, Representa-.
tive Randolph does not believe ther(
should be any delay In congressiona
! approval Of his bin.
