the appropriation measure now
before the house.
Engineers testified before the
house appropriations committee
only one new river and harbor
project - the Sill, 900 900 Della
ware river improvement, for
which a $3.50 600 starter was
provided-could be undertaken
with the recommended apprO-
priation for the new fiscal year.
All the rest of the money would
be required, they said, for main
tenance and continuation of
projects already begun.
A number of single projects
in the authorization bill before
the senate would cost more
than the S34, 800, 900 total al
lowed by the house committee
for all river and harbor opera
tions in the next fiscal year,
excluding maintenance of exist
ing projects.
Engineers testified the flood
control budget allowance would
not allow any new projects.
However, the appropriations
committee wrote into the bill a
provision requiring that at least
10 percent of the fund for gen.
eral flood control be used for
projects which had ne; previ-
ously received ALLEGATIONS.

tract between Germany and Ru-

For the moment Rumanian trade
officials were devoting their atten-
ton to an Italian delegation which
is here pressing for more oil, grain
and other Rumanian exports. A
member of the fascist mission said
between today's sessions that Italy
vas willing to agree not to resell
these exports to Germany or else
where.
The reports of the arrangement
with France were strengthened with
the report in business circles that
Maigre Dubrail, regent of the Bank
of France, arrived in Bucharest dur
ing the day.
Another arrival was former Fl.
nance Minister Mircea Cancicov from
a tour Of western European capitals.
He was understood to have reported
to King Carol on the prospects of
further armament loans from abroad.
The reported agreement was the
second blow in as many days to Ger
many's cause in this oil-rich land,
coming OF the heels of Yesterdays
Rumanian decision to raise rail rates
on all exports except grain. The u
to 40 per cent increases thus includ-
ed urgently needed oil for the Ger
man war machine.

LEADER NEEDED

Dear Sir:
What's the matter with Whining
tonP No Jimmie you r wrong. It's
not more funerals that we need, it
is more life.
It seems silly that any n hear
ing This question would assume that
it applied to anything but the in.
habitants of the city.
Nothing can be wrong with a city
that has a fine climate, fine schools,
but there is something radically
wrong with u people.
W. are woefully in need Of a
leader, one who Is able and willing
to step out and say follow me"
and until such leader is found W
will remain in our present state Of
dormancy.
We can not lay u lack of growth
on any one man or group of men,
but must all accept our part Of this
fault.
We have a chamber of commerce,
numerous civic organizations and
our city and county governing
boards, which are all absolutely help
less without u support.
Among all Of these "a we not
find at least one man, a man with
a vision, that will step out in front
and lead US to the things that we
need.
A business man that cannot see
further than his own cash register,
Is a very poor asset to any com.
munity.
Our community needs industries,
industries that can take the raw
product and convert it into finished
goods, that means payrolls and
payrolls are what we must have 70
increase u population.
Apparently, we are satisfied with
the railroad offices, and shops, one
textile mill, a few fertilizer plants
and tank steamers bringing gasoline
here for distribution.
I am discounting the Importance
of none of these, but why can we
not have them along with our other
needs.
Again I say, find the leader then
let's get behind him and push him
so hard that he will be unable to
stop until our population reaches
at least fifty thousand.
And now I emphasize, we need no
funerals, but we do need more life.
Respectfully,
FRANK GARRISON,

ROOSEVELT AND DELEGATES

There are several reasons why President
ROOSEVELT is silent on his third term
thoughts.
One Of them, pointed out by political OBJ
servers who are saying he can have the 1910
nomination if he wants it, is the process Of
selecting convention delegates. OF the LOO
democrats who will have one vote each at the
Chicago meeting, approximately 608 will be
selected by state conventions or state commit
tees. Many will actually be designated by the
local organization leaders.
The new dealers contend that, with or
without the help of these leaders, the Presi-
dent has strong support of a third term
among the people. Various polls and samplings
of public opinion have shown this to be
true, they say.
But regardless of this, the facts Of practi.
cal politics are a politicians first considera.
ton and the important fact in this connec.
ton is that many Of the organization leaders
are backing a "Draft-RoosEvELr'' movement.
There is general agreement that this is the
case, says RICHARD L.. TURNER, of the Associ-
ate6 Press, although opinions differ as to
why it should be SO.
Continuing, Mr.. TURNER writes:
"Anti-new dealers claim that after eight
years OF federal patronage and projects, dis.
tributed by an administration which has had
large numbers Of jobs and enormous sums OF
money to dispense, the President controls the
local organizations.
THE third termers, on the other hand, say
that the local leaders are simply following
the wishes of the people of their states
These indicate, they believe, that Mr.. RoosE
WELT is a winner. And, obviously, a winner is
what they want first and foremost, one WHIT
can carry their local tickets in with him II
November.
IA total of 1872 delegates to the democratic
convention will be selected in primary cleo
lions. Some Of these elections give the voter,
of the party an opportunity to designate thei1
choice for the nomination, but not all O
them are binding upon the delegation. Here
the local organization leaders, with their sun
port for Mr.. ROOSEVELT, re-enter the situation
