S50O,OO0 Loan
For Planning
Seen for D. {.
Fleming Predicts
Congress Soon Will
: Provide Funds
By HAROLD d. RoGERs

The District OF Columbia NAV be
loaned or advanced" more than
$500,00O to finance planning of post
war projects, exclusive of housing
II Congress appropriates funds to
carry out provisions of the new War
Mobilization and Reconversion Act,
1t was learned today.
Prediction that Congress would
act before January / to provide
funds for postwar planning through
out the country was made today by
Federal Works Administrator Philip
B. Fleming. On the basis of a
formula worked out by FWA, 1t was
reliably estimated that this city
might be allotted a sum in excess
of $5O0,000.
Gen. Fleming made his prediction
in a speech before the annual con-
ference of the New Jersey State
League Of Municipalities at New
York City. In his address, copies
of which were released by FWA here,
he pointed out that funds would be
loaned or advanced" both on the
basis of population, and his own
discretion" Ninety per cent of the
money is to be loaned or advanced
on the basis Of population, and 10
per cent at his discretion.
Based on Population.
Using population as a basis of
the formula, FWA officials estimate
that the Districts officials Census
Bureau figures of $685. ,O9l as of 1910,
would bring this city's loan or ad-
vance under the new program up to
about $500.000. But the Census
Bureau estimates" the population
of this city at 865, 900 as of April 10,
1912. So, it is predicted that with
the great increase in population
here since 1910 and with the ad-
ministrator's authority to disburse
10 per cent of the national funds
at his own administrative discre-
ton. this city probably would get
much more than half a million dol
lars.
Authority for the postwar plan
ming program is included in Title v
of the War Mobilization and Re-
conversion Act, Gen. Fleming ex-
planned. In his speech he reported
that already estimates on the
amount of work which might be
pushed forward under this plan had
been submitted to Congress. These
estimates include a comprehensive
report from the District Commits
sioners as to what could be done in
the National CAPITAL.
ut will be our purpose to give
priority to those projects which are
most urgently needed" said Gen.
Fleming, 80 they could be put into
operation quickly, and for which
financing is arranged or in sight"
Wants Early Start.
Il think we shall be little inter-
ested in projects which are merely
desirable but cannot be begun until
three, or four or five years In the
future. Attention will be given first
to those projects that will make
the largest contribution to COM
munity welfare and health. This
means that we are going to be
much more interested in helping to
plan a needed sewer system, or
waterworks or a hospital, than a
monumental public auditorium or a
football stadium. First things first;
bread comes before cake"
The proposal for a new national
stadium in Washington. however,
is being sponsored by special legis-
lation already in Congress, it was
pointed out by observers.

War Started Cubans
In Peanut Business,
Peace To Put EN- Out

HAVANA, Oct. 2S.-R--The
war put Cuba into the business
of raising peanuts on = large
scale, but peace probably will
put an end to the new indus
try.
The business reached Its
peak in 1913 when Cuba grow
ers actually moved to domes-
tic markets more than 72,000,-
900 pounds and Cuban agricul-
tural experts estimated that
production may have reached
100, 000, 900 pounds.
Peanut growing took a big
squirt because Cubans were
unable to obtain other wege-
table oils in sufficient quanti-
ty due to war demands. At Its
heaviest point, the industry
produced almost enough to
meet local demands but did
not approach the export stage.

to Returning Servicemen

A plan which places Michl-
gan in the forefront in provid-
ing constructive aid TO war vet
Grams was announced today by
Nate Shapero, president of Gun
ningham Drug Stores, Inc.
The plan, which will be put
into effect immediately, pro-
vides four-year college courses,
income for that period and a Sc
cured future TO honorably dis
charged service men. II carries
the endorsement of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars and the Ameri-
can Legion. II offers a COM
plete REORGANIZATION package"
with no strings attached TO the
returning service man. Require
ments are only that he be an
American citizen, honorably dis
charged and a graduate of an
accredited high school.
The objective is to obtain bad
ly needed pharmacists and to
refill the ranks in this essential
profession which have been de-
pleted by service demands. II
is an expansion of the peace time
program followed for some 10
years by Shapero through which
he offered annual scholarships
in pharmacy to employees in his
stores throughout Michigan and
Ohio on a competitive basis.
Through the Cunningham
plan, every successful applicant
will receive a college education
with all expenses paid, an in
come while attending school and
a ready-made job, if he cares to
accept it, when he graduates.
The war necessitated discon-
tinuance of our free scholarship

Thus. we have no pharmacists
In the making, nor would we
have until the war ends.
''ln the meantime. the short
age OF pharmacists grows more
acute. II has been estimated
that some $4,000 will be needed.
That means we must actively re-
cruit them and II also means that
they must come from the ranks
OF those discharged from the
armed forces.
Thus we feel we are doing a
two-fold job-provide definite
and concrete help for the re-
turning service man and build
for ourselves a progressively
increasing number OF high
grade pharmacists"
Shapero said that facilities
were being set up at headquart-
ers Of Cunningham Drug Stores
to process applications. Each
person who inquiries about the
plan will be sent information

blank. After these are checked,
applicants will be notified to ap-
