Bill for Six Million
District Works Fund
Is Rushed 10 House
100000 AIIocoted
For Eight Projects
Pending Congress Action

A bill authorizing the Federal
Works agency to advance s6,0000 900
to the Commissioners to finance
vitallv needed defense public works
was rushed to the House today by
its District Committee
BY unanimous vote, the committee
ordered favorable report on the
measure after Chairman Randolph
announced the F. w. A. had in
formed the Commissioners it would
hold for reasonable time" pending
enactment of the legislation sufi-
cient funds to finance eight projects
at a Federal cost not to exceed
50 900 .OOo.'
Four of the projects are designed
to provide extensions to the water
supply and distribution systems.
These include construction of six
filters TO increase the capacity Of
the Dalecarlia Reservoir. the install
lation of two big mains in Anacostia,
and purchase of new pump at
Dalecarlia for the third high area
in Arlington County, Va.
Other Projects.
The other projects include an
eight-room elementary school at
Nichols avenue and Atlantic streets
Sc, three public convenience sta
tions. extensions to the fire alarm
system and a sewage treatment
plant at the District Training
School near Laurel, Md.
Another project, storm water
sewer for South Capitol street, is
still under consideration" as to
eligibility, F. w. A. officials said. but
a maternal and child welfare ward
for Gallinger Hospital has been
ruled out definitely.
In approving the bill. the commit
tee adopted three amendments. The
principal one would require repay
ment of any F. w. A. loan within 10
years. In original form the measure
allowed a 25-year amortization. The
other two changes would prohibit
the use of F. w. A. loans or grants
for purchase of automobiles or sta
tionery.
Representative Randolph told the
committee if the bill is enacted into
law within two weeks the $4,000 ,00C
in Federal funds would be available
to start work on the urgently needed
projects without further delay.
Enabling Act Required.
Commissioner Guy Mason. who
was present. pointed out it was "ad-
viSable' TO procure the money as
soon as possible and the only thing
the District needs to get it is an
enabling act" The District can
not borrow money without authority
from Congress
Although the F. w. A. has only
$2,000,000 left out of its original
appropriation of sl50.O00 900 for de-
fense public works, the Commits
sioners hope to get the $4,000 0OC
balance authorized in the bill out
of another sl5o.0OO 900 Congress is
expected to appropriate soon for
additional public works in defense
areas.
In a letter to Commissioner John
Russell Young, Acting Federal Works
Administrator John N Edy said
three steps remain before the
! money can be used - enactment
of enabling legislation, certif1catior
of the emergency nature of the
projects by the Federal Security
Agency and approval by President
Roosevelt.

u. 5. Entry Into War
Couldn't Beat Nazis,
Won Ribbentrop Says
Sieners Of Anti-Cominterr
Pact Told Russians
Have Been Defeated
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN. Nov 26.-Foreign Min
lister Joachim Won Ribbentrop de-
clared today that even if the United
States entered the war against the
Axis she could not prevent the tri-
umph of Germany and her allies.
He told signers of the anti-Comin-
tern pact that Germany already has
won her campaign against Soviet
Russia and said the war now lines
up as a fight with Britain and her
transatlantic helpers"
The American people will pay
dearly for President Roosevelts poll
cies, Won Ribbentrop declared.
1t is clear that the American tax
payer must bear the chief bruden OF
this English war against Germany
he said. The constant pouring OF
materials out of America without
any compensating values will in a
relatively short time bring this land
to an economic crisis the like OF
which no land has yet seen.
Sees Crisis Worse Than 1929.
'I believe that the American
catastrophe of 1929 will be child's
play in comparison. I believe
the day is coming when the Ameri-
can people will call tie Presiden,
and his Jewish counselors to &C.

The United States. Won Ribben-
trop told statesmen of the Axis and
its satellite nations, remains the last
powerful ally of Britain. He added
that Hitler long had calculated on
the hostility of a small clique OF
leaders" in the United States
No matter whether or to what
extent the United States deliver.
war materials to England, the out
come of the war cannot be changed
he declared. Neither. he said, is
Russia in a place to make any
change.
Attack on L. S. Denied.
"If it should so develop that there
would be war between the United
States on one side and Europe on
the other, the responsibility is
clearly on Roosevelt" Won Ribben-
trop said.
He added however. that any idea
of a German military attack on the
United States was fantastic fool
iShneSS,' and said that charges that
Hitler planned world conquest, de-
struction of religion. and Nazi dom
nance of South America were prod
ucts of deliberate propaganda nur-
tured by the American President.
Won Ribbentrop repeated the
German contention that Mr.. Roose-
welt was chief instigator' of the
war, and questioned whether the
American people. whom he described
as sharing a longtime friendship
with the German people. would
much longer tolerate his catas-
trophic policy
He declared fatty that the Reich
has made no move toward extend
ing any peace feelers since Hitler's
offers at the end of the Polish cam
paign. Such stories the Foreign
Minister termed British inventions
in an effort to encourage the British
people.
