Steel Scarcity 10 Bar
All but Small Fraction
OF New School Jobs
Reduced DPA ALLEGATION
Will Go First for Work
Already Under Way
By Francis P. Douglas

The scarcity of steel will make
possible only a small fraction of
the 1898 new school projects for
which application for materials
has been made to the Office of
Education.
Commissioner of Education Earl
James McGrath, who is the claim
ant for scarce materials before
the Defense Production Admins
tration, made this announcement
today.
He said the demand for steel
in the three months beginning
January l for the 1898 new prof.
'ects amounts to 166,500 tons. DPA
disclosed yesterday it has allotted
only 96,296 tons of steel for all
school construction. This COM
pares with 104,614 tons in the
current quarter of this year, which
was an original allotment of 94,-
614 tons plus 10000 tons granted
later.
For Projects Now Building.
Most of the first quarter allot-
ment will fill the need for steel
of the 2.314 school, college and
library building projects now
under construction, Mr.. McGrath
said.
He explained that the first
quarter requirements were estab-
Ilished last August at 1858 tons
of steel. This figure has since in
creased to 255, 400 tons, partly be-
cause of the postponement of new
construction from the fourth
quarter.
Applications were made for ma
terials to start about 1000 schools
in the fourth quarter, but fewer
than 100 were allowed materials
to go ahead.
The Education Office has set up
eight priorities for school construc-

Laborer Seized Here
Admits Theft-SIayino
OF Fauquier Farmer
EmpIoye Of Victim
Is Arrested in Hotel
After Police Get Tip

A farm laborer arrested in a
Washington hotel today has ad-
mitted to the murder last Wednes-
day night of Smoot Fletcher,
well-to-do Fauquier County Va.)
farmer. District police said.
Arrested about am. in a hotel
in the 800 block of Mount Vernon
place NV. was David Mr.. Frye. %,
Icolored, of Calverton, Va. Police
said he had worked at odd jobs on
Mr.. Fletcher's 4O0-acre stock farm
near Calverton.
Detectives said Frye told them
he hit Mr.. Fletcher with a rock
and then a stick and took his
|pocketbook. He fed to nearby
Warrenton. police said Frye told
them, where he caught a cab to
Washington.
Cash in Wallet.
Police said Frye claimed there
was 5000 in the pocketbook. Mr..
Fletcher's mother and sister have
told authorities the 46-year-old
bachelor farmer had about $1,000
or $1,500 in cash in the purse, de-
pending on whether he had cashed
a $500 check he had been carrying.
Police said they arrested Frye
after receiving a telephone tip
that a man carrying about $500
or 5000 was staying at the hotel.
There was another man and
two women in the room with Frye
when the arrest was made, police
said. None Of the four was armed
and no resistance was offered
District police held Frye on a
fugitive charge until Sheriff Sam
Hall of Fauquier County took the
man into his custody shortly be-
fore noon and left for Warrenton.
Seeks to Trace Four.
Earlier, Sheriff Hall said he was
trying to trace two white men and
two colored men who left War
renton Wednesday night. He said
one of them had left for Wash
Iington in a cab a few hours after
the crime.
Sheriff Hall said he was still
trying to learn whether Mr..
Fletcher had cashed the $500
check which his mother, Mrs.
T. L. Fletcher, and his sister, Miss
Lena Fletcher. said he had re-
Iceived the day before the crime
in payment for some hogs.
Sheriff Hall said he has re-
ceived no word from the FBI
which has been examining the
murder weapon, a 4-foot length
of cedar. 1t is believed the crime
was premeditated because the
club was broken off huge fallen
branch about 300 yards from the
murder scene, the sheriff said.
