District W. P. A. Rolls
Reduced 10 $780,;
Further Cut Seen
Some Non-Construction
Projects May Be Dropped,
Edwards Says

District w. P. A. Director Paul
Edwards informed the Commission
ers today the Districts w. P. A.
quota of workers had been reduced
to $500 for this month and a further
quota cut was to be expected for
May. He said there was some dam
ger that at least some of the nom
construction type of projects would
have to be reduced and some might
even have to be abandoned as w.
P. A. projects.
Listed among the non-construc-
ton projects is the free school lunch
program for under-nourished chill
dren now costing about $3.50 900 an
nually and employing 341 workers
who are serving lunches to about
5000 children day. OF this cost
the Federal Government is carrying.
through the w. p. A., s229, 900 and
the local sponsors. the Board OF
Public Welfare and the Board OF
Education, S101 900.
Mr.. Edwards offered a suggestion
that the school lunch program
might be classified as a collateral
service to the defense program, un-
less some legal bar arose.
Among other non-construction
projects are those employing work.
ers at Gallingsr Municipal Hospital,
at the Home for Aged and Infirm,
and the sewing rooms. The Com
missioners have already asked Fed
eral authorities to certify, highway.
water and sewer w. P. A. projects as
being under the defense program,
to assure their continuance.
Mr.. Edwards said about 4,800 OF
his present quota of w. P. A. work.
ers are on construction projects,
more than 500 others are on Gov
ernment-sponsored projects linked
with the defense program, but ap-
proximately $500 are on non-con-
struction works not certified under
the defense program.
He informed the city heads that
if his quota is appreciably reduced
in the next few months, they must
consider abandonment or reduction
of scme of the non-construction
projects unless municipal funds were
found available to carry them on.

Presidents Committee

Approved by the Presidents Rec
reation Committee. the Settle bill to
provide the District with a nine

entation to Congress.
In executive session yesterday, the
Presidents committee unanimously
indorsed the measure and de-
termined to send it simultaneously
to both the Senate and the House
as soon as possible.
Prompt enactment of the bill
seems certain in view of the fact that
it was drafted by order of Congress
and because President Roosevelt is
known to favor system of unified
recreation such as it will afford. A
provision of the bill states that il
shall become effective July /.
Thomas S. Settle, secretary of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and co-author of the
bill with Lewis r. Barrett. former
co-ordinator of recreation, said yes
terday the substance of the measure
as approved for submission to Con-
gress differed little from the form
given it last week by the Board OF
Education.
Last of the three agencies under
the present recreation setup TO in
dorse the bill, the School Board an.
nounced its acceptance Friday with
the following membership provi
sion:
That the administration of recrea.
ton be placed under a nine-mem'
ber board consisting of representa-
tives of the School Board, the Boare
of Commissioners, the Office of Ma
'tional Capital Parks, the Park anc
Planning Commission and five citi
zen representatives, to be appoint
ed by the Commissioners.

Jai A|ai Veto
He|d'Foregone
Conclusion
Montgomery Citizens
Press Fight to
Kill Measure

Veto of a bill to legalize pari-
nutuel betting on jai alai in Mont
gomery County, Md, appears to be
"a foregone conclusion" the Office
of Gov. O'Conor announced today
as county residents laid plans to
continue their fight against the
measure until it is definitely killed.
A. j. Bourbon, executive secretary
to the Governor, said the Governor
returned from vacation this morn
ing and had not yet time to give
much attention to the matter but
1t appears that in view of the fact
that the persons who sponsored the
bill asked for its veto, this would
be foregone conclusion
The four Montgomery County
members of the House of Delegates
who sponsored the legislation have
announced their intention of with
drawing their support
A mass meeting of more than 200
residents at the Silver Spring Bap-
tist Church last night adopted a
resolution calling on the Governor to
veto the bill.
The meeting was called by a citi-
yens' committee headed by Milton
8. Kronheim, jr, and the citizens
adopted resolution continuing the
committee in power to function until
the measure is dead.
PIT. A. Disapproves.
The Montgomery County Fed
Grated Parent-Teacher Associations
voiced complete disapprovar' of
the measure and the Republican
Central Committee condemned &C
tion by the Legislature, in meet
ings at Rockville yesterday. The
Woman's Guild of Grace Church
also directed a resolution to Gov.
O'Conor asking his veto.
The Executive Committee of the
Seventh District Republican Club
Endorsed the Central Republican
Committees action, when it met
last night in the home of President
John M. Reeves, Silver Spring.
The bills sponsors, Delegates E.
Brooke Lee, James w. Gill, Ruth
Shoemaker and Stanton c. Peelle,
Ir., issued a statement yesterday de-
rlaring that they would join the
many civic, church and political
organizations asking the Governors
veto.
Last nights mass meeting was
addressed by several speakers who
6ayed the county political organi-
zation" that was said to be respon-
sible for introducing the legislation.
What do they think this county
has come to?" shouted H. S. Yohe,
former president of the County Fed
Grafton of Citizens Association.
"Since when has this county had to
depend on its revenues from the
proceeds of gambling?
Washington I. Cleveland, presi-
dent of the Greater Kensington
Civic League, declared: There's
not q scintilla of evidence to show
that revenue that would be raised
would be used to reduce taxes. In
stead, our delegation has passed
legislation to increase salaries OF
county officials"
o. M. Kile. president of the civic
federation criticized the late time at
which the legislation was introduced.
Delegate Charles C. Jones was
introduced as the one man who
had the courage" to oppose the bill.
For 20 years" Mr.. Jones said, Il
have heard grand juries of this
county charged by judges to keep
gambling out of this county. The
slate Judge Robert Peter, father of
our Senator, used to tell the grand
juries: Keep gambling off Conduit
