2 een MORE EMPLOYMENT GIVEN AS AIM OF PUBLIC WORK PLAN Government Hopes Industry Will Revive Under Spur of Federal Billions Washington, July 3,—()—The pur- pose of the public works program au- thorized by the national recovery law is to employ millions of men by spend- ing quickly three billion, three hun- dred million dollars of public money in building all over the country things that will be of permanent value. The idea is that when jobs have been given to one to three millions of men, and thousands of factories, mines and quarries have orders for Materials, their combined spending will employ many others and spread 80 much money that private industry will be revived. Other recovery laws fit around this one and depend large- Jy on its success, ‘The money is being borrowed by Gelling bonds. Special taxes are to help repay these bonds and interest ‘thereon. An administrator of public works, assisted by a board of cabinet officers is rushing through a list of projects, many to be started within a few weeks, Directors are being appointed for each state and territory to pass on all proposals originating in their areas. Those they approve will be re- viewed in Washington. These are the principal things to be built. Waterways, harbor improvements, drainage works, erosion control works, Public buildings, federal, state and lo- cal, semi-public hospitals and insti- tutions, naval vessels, and aircraft for army and navy. On all these jobs contractors must establish the 30-hour work week wherever possible and must agree to in. Wages sufficient for decent liv- @irect federal expenditures; partly in partly in loans to states, municipali- things enumerated. D Three Known Dead tages were wrecked.

OCEAN FLIER DIES FROM INJURIES IN INDIANAPOLIS CRASH (7 Fractured Skull, Broken Should- er, Punctured Lung Are Fatal to Boardman Indianapolis, July 3.—()—Russell Boardman, 35-year-old Boston, Mass., sportsman and aviator injured Sat- urday during the transcontinental air race, died Monday morning at City hospital. The one-time co-holder of the world’s long distance non-stop flight record succumbed to injuries which included a fractured skull, a broken shoulder and a punctured lung. Disaster ended Boardman’s 12-year flying career Saturday morning as he lifted his tiny plane from municipal airport here with 200 gallons of gaso- line, to continue his New York to Los Angeles dash in a $10,000 prize race, Twenty-five feet from the ground, a cross wind caught the little craft. It flopped over, hit the ground and bounded about like a wounded bird. Boardman dropped unconscious from she cockpit when ground crews lifted the overturned ship. Boardman had had many narrow escapes during a career that included motorcycle racing, speed boat pilot- ing and transatlantic flying. His greatest feat in the air was the flight from New York to Istanbul, Turkey, in 1931 with John Polando of Lynn, Mass., as co-pilot. They made the 5,000-mile journey in 49 hours. It stood for some time as the world’s long distance, non-stop C from page one Gammons Plans to Contest Sentence Imposed by Judge | flight record.

French reaction was awaited. ~ Is Flat Notification The president's statement was in- terpreted by experts in high confer- ence quarters not only as a flat noti- fication the United States is not in- terested in restoring the old-fashion- ed gold standard, which France and her continental allies have been try- ing to force him to support, but as a scarcely veiled reproof to France. Experts expressed the opinion that the American chief executive had in mind France's unbalanced budget and huge expenditures for military and naval purposes aswell as uncollected domestic taxes when he said: “When the world works out concerted poli- cies in the majority of nations to pro- duce balanced budgets and living within their means, then we can prop- erly discuss a better distribution of the world’s gold and silver supply to act as a reserve base for national cur- rencies.” In many conference circles the president's statement was taken to mean in substance: “We do not give a row of beans about gold at this juncture. Other nations may stay on gold or abandon it to suit themselves, but we are not lending our support to the mainten- ance of old-fashioned European gold Standards at this time.” In response to the president’s state- ment, both Charles Rist, French ex- vert, and Dr. L. G. A. Trip, president of the Netherlands banks, two of the staunchest advocates of the gold standard, called upon peoples of gold standard countries to keep cool. Gold Bloc To Continue Alberto Beneduce, president of the Italian council for public works and another bitter antagonist of currency depreciation, gave indication the gold bloc would continue to exert pressure on Great Britain to support them.

Here also tem- porary exchange fixing is not the true answer.

OH | Strange But True H News Items of Day (By The Associated Press) BEAUTY AND THE BEE New York—Bees see beauty to which the eye of man is blind, says Dr. Frank E. Lutz.

A shown that there are patterns in ultra-violet on many flowers and but- terflies. The bees see these beauties; Homa Sapiens does not. THE JURY DISAGREED New York—James Harris was on trial accused of passing spuri- ous money, The district attorney, glancing toward where the defendant sat, suddenly blinked and looked astounded. Alongside Harris sat his exact double—a twin brother. There was must confusion. A witness who had accepted a coune terfeit bill acknowledged he could not say which was which. Finally the jury reported a dis« agreement. ARE YOU PAYING GOOD MONEY ror“ FALSE BARGAINS”? — @ Whenever outstanding quality makes any packaged product popular with you and other shoppers, somebody soon offers you something “just as good” at a “bargain” price. Before you even think of buying it, Jook at the label. When the brand is unfamiliar—when you know nothing of the maker’s reputation—isn’t it folly to take a chance on unknown quality just to “save” a few cents? There are too many genuine bargains today to waste good money on false ones! Prices are down. Many reliable brands, long-known to you through your own experience or by their advertising, now cost far less than they have in years. Ask for them by name. And insist on getting them. It is the best way to avoid buying merchandise in which quality has been sacrificed to make a low price still lower! @ . for apprehension of the kidnapers of William Hamm, Jr., wealthy brewer, shown here, right, as he returned after payment of ransom.
