WASHINGTON, Mar. %. -
Col. Harrington, head of the ma
tional Works Progress Admins
tration forces, today called on
Mayor Maestri of New Orleans,
and Governor nominate Sam
Houston Jones, of Louisiana, to
cooperate with the State WPA
agency in providing sponsorship
for work projects.
Col. Harrington stated that his
attcffesDn had been called to the
destitute condition of hundreds
of Louisianans owing to lack of
work and income to buy neces-
sites. He laid most of the
trouble at Maestri's and Jones'
dOOrsteps, in that those two men
have indicated reluctance to fur
nish sponsorship funds so that
projects could go forward.

RUMORS OF PENDING
RUSSO-BRITISH TRADE

STATES POSITION
CBy Associated Press)


LONDON. Mar. 29.-No major
war action. either on land. in the
air or on the sea was reported
during the past twentY-four
hours from all of Europe's CAPT.
tai cities. Diplomatic action goes
on apace. however. with accent
on shaping up ultimate policies
10 be followed by the major war
ring nations and neutrals.
Surprising news from Moscow
came today.
RumOrs of a trade pact to be
worked out between the SovietS
and England hummed over the
wires, but no verification of any
progress made towards consum-
nation of such treaty could be
obtained from leading officials
of either nation.
The Allied council, meeting in
this city, again discussd in broad
terms, the neutrality of Europe's
small nations. Chief outcome of
this conference, it was believed,
would be firm demands to Scan
dinavian countries to pay stricter
attention to territorial waters.
Alleged violations of neutrality
committed by German shipping
has brought this question to the
fore.
I'm the Balkans, British sources
heard today that their ally, Tur-
key, IS taking a firmer stand
against the entry of any third
power into that section of Eu-
rope. Dispatches state that Tur-
kish officials have announced, in
no uncertain terms, their deter
mination to keep both Germany
and Russia from encroaching up
on territory rights of any Bal
kan state.
The British press denied head
line stories in German news
papers recently which called at
tention to wholesale violations
of British naval ships and air
planes against the neutrality Of
Dutch and Belgium countries.

the aircraft stationed here. Naval
officers Of the fleet will notify
shipping interests when the va
rious zones will be under fire.

One reason why the zones of

was to allay rumors and false
alarms that might arise by rea-
son of the cannonading off Key
West, naval officers indicated.
