Commissioners
Await Decision
On Health Funds
Agreement Between
FWA and PHS Nay
Doom Some Projects

District Commissioners today were
awaiting ruling from both the
Federal Works Agency and the Pub
lie Health Service on what money,
If any, this city will receive out Of
it's request for $256,774 to be used
for health projects.
The general principles on which
money will be made available by the
two agencies were worked out
through an agreement between Paul
v. McNutt, Federal Security Ad-
ministrator, and Maj. Gen. Philip
B. Fleming, Federal Works Admin
istrator. The agreement, approved
by the Budget Bureau, was made
public by Owl.
Fixes Responsibility.
"In general" said the owl. ''FWA
will have responsibility for assisting
In the financing of construction or
acquisition of facilities where the
connected need is certified by
the Public Health Service. The
Public Health Service will have re-
sponsibility in general for assisting
in the financing of health services
as distinguished from the construc-
ton or acquisition of facilities. In
certain instances the responsibility
is fixed according to particular def
nitions set up in the agreement.
"As a matter of general policy,
where specific legislative authority
exists for a particular type of prof.
ect or function, such project or func-
ton will not be financed under the
general authority of the Lanham
Act, but will be the responsibility of
the agency having specific legislative
authority"
Under such general terms Of the
agreement, it was believed today,
some of the projects contemplated
under the s256,744 program might
be provided for, but others could
not be financed.
Detailed Study Planned.
The position of the FWA was ex-
pected to be made clear today.
At the Public Health Service it
was said that the requests from the
District of Columbia would be taken
up and reviewed in detail to deter
mine which of them-if any-would
be eligible for funds under the new
agreement.
The projects include, among
others, three health centers, a men
tai hygiene bureau and out-patient
medical service at Gallinger Hos
pital.

The Magic Of the Movies
Mr.. Blore, Dead Explains,
Then Has to Die Once More

Woolley marries Oracle Fields,
whom Eric had found via a lonely
hearts club. But he was still un-
hitched from couple of previous
wives. So now you can see where
the comedy comes in.
THE best thing about the pic

Binnie Barnes, on the set of
"The Man From Down Under" tells
me that she has had her adopted

big family she says, "and I like
lots of kids around" Binnie's niece,
who has lived with her for several

tesy of her aunt.
Miss Barnes is the only one who
can handle 2-year-old Evelyn Falk,

I always cut it bit at the begin

from the studio grow it long. Never
know what they want me to do with
it, you know. One thing I shall
never do with 1t and that's cut it."
Rumor hath it that Woolley has been

shave his pride and joy. But even
for a million dollars the answer
would still be the same no"

There is a rival beard on the set
on the more portlv figure of Laird
Cregar, who grew it for his role of
the devil in the Lubitsch MASTER
piece, Heaven Can Wait" Cregar
is so fond of it that he says he'll
keep it. 'Mr Woolley has assented
to my having the beard" says the
huge actor gravely. He is disap-
pointed when I fail to notice that
he has shed IS pounds during his
stay in the hospital for that pur-
pose. He was supposed to live there
even after returning to work. But
it wasn't practical" he tells me. "I
had to leave the hospital before
breakfast, I had my lunch at the
studioand I returned to the hos

A new figure on Hollywood set
is Oracle Fields. who plays the bride
of Monty Woolley. "Oh, dear" she
giggles, I'm all excited with my
first real acting part in the movies.
I made pictures in England, but
they we're all built around me.
They'd say. oh, this is for Oracle
Fields and they'd string a lot of
songs together without any plot.
I don't sing at all in this, or dance.
I'm supposed to act"
In spite of the big dying scene
mentioned above, the movie is
comedy. When Blore dies, Woolley
takes over his identity. Eric had
been on the verge of confessing
something, but Monty stops him
with, Never made a confession
until you feel rigor mortis setting
in" In the name of his valet,
