Dear Teddy,
Inclosed is an article I got from
the Savannah Jewish News, that
l think is worthwhile printing in
your paper. The Mayor mention
ed happens to be my oldest son,
who is thirty years old, and of
whom I am very proud. These
things don't come to our people
undeserving (. so Miami is not
the only town who has a Jewish
Mayor! (You may print this letter
also, if you wish.)
Mrs..S. Ullman (Freda)
Editors note: Congratulations
to Mr.. and Mrs. S. Ullman, and
to the new Mayor =. It is with
pride (also) that we reprint the
following notice:)
IT'S MAYOR ULMAN NOW
The names Mayor Ulman. We
are referring to Albert Ulman,
popular young businessman of
Ridgeland, S. c., who was recent
ly elected mayor of the neighbor-
ing Carolina town, in a three-man

Mexico DevaIues
Peso 80 Per Cent
BY the Associated Press

MEXICO CITY, April 1.-THE
government announced today a
308 per cent devaluation of the
peso. effective Monday, to
strengthen Mexico's economic
condition at home and abroad.
Treasury Secretary Antonio
Garlic Flores said the peso will
be devalued from 8.65 to 1880
to the United States dollar.
The action took Mexico COM
pletely by surprise. Even bank
officials, notified of the original
announcement which came from
the international Monetary Fund
in Washington, said they had
had no inkling of it.
The change will mean a sharp
increase in prices for most items
and not much immediate change
in salaries. AS a result, it could
touch off a wave of strikes and
political unrest such as occurred
when the last devaluatien was
announced in 1910.

Contract Power
Gives Boost 10
Parkway Plans
New Bill ObIieotes
Congress to Provide
Authorized Funds
BY George Beveridee


Federal park officials for the
first time have been empowered
to enter contracts obligating the
expenditure of money for park
ways and park roads before the
money actually is appropriated.
This broad power. expected to
give new life to long neglected
parkwayS in Washington and
throughout the country, was
contained in a little-noticed pro-
viso of the Federal highway aid
act which cleared Congress last
week.
At the same time, the bill in
creased the authorized amounts
that can be spent for such prof.
ects over the next few years.
In effect, the new proviso
obligates Congress to appropriate
the authorized amounts. In the
past. even after getting author
lzatlonS, the National Park Serv-
ice has had to request appropria-
lions to carry out specific
projects.
Outlook Greatly Improved.
Conrad L. Wirth, National
Park Service director. told The
Star last night the new powers
make the outlook for early con-
struction in this area much
better than for many years."
Projects most likely to get
high-priority consideration, it
was learned. include extension of
the George Washington Memoir
ial parkway on both sides of
the Potomac and long-dormant
plans to extend the Rock Creek
and Potomac parkway through
the Zoo and into Rock Creek
Park
During recent years, Congress
has never appropriated as much
money as it authorized the Park
Service to spend for such prof.
ectS all over the country. The
result is that tremendous back
logs have built up in unmet
needs.
Last year, for example. Con-
gress authorized $13 million for
parkways but appropriated only
S8.4 million in hard cash. In this
fiscal year. a $40 million author
ization was followed by actual
appropriations of only SAL mil
lion.
The spread is similar between
authorization and appropriations
handed down for service roads
and trails within parks.
Authorizations Increased.
However, the new act passed
by the House and Senate:
/. Set increased authorization
OF $11 million for parkways and
$12.5 million for park roads dur
ing each of the fiscal years 1856
and 1857.
! 2. Provided that the authorize
tions for these two years-as
well as $40 million authorize
tons already voted for the year
starting next July 1-"shall be
Immediately available for con-
tract"
The act gave Interior Secre-
tary Mckay power to approve
projects and enter such con-
tracts and said such action shall
be deemed a contractual obliga-
ton of the Federal Government
and such funds shall be
deemed to have been expended
when so obligated"
Virtually the only restriction
imposed was that the authorize
tions shall lapse two years after
they go into effect.
Before the available money
