The gross public debt increased ¢| during the year from $27,052,141,414.48 to $28,700,892,624.53 at the close of business June 29. That date this year marked the end of the fiscal year NEW JOB PLAN 10 RESEMBLE OLD PWA Latest Scheme Is to Allot $812 Per Worker on Some Low- .Cost Projects Washington, July 2.—(®)—There are indications that the Roosevelt administration may allot possibly as much as $2,000,000,000 for jobs re- sembling the old CWA projects in certain respects. The first step in this policy was taken Monday. Declaring they want- ed to put a “substantial” number of persons to work this month, officials disclosed that the federal allotment board had recommended to the pres- ident that $142,245,875 be turned over to three states, New York City and the District of Columbia. The projects—small, with low ma- terial costs—would be selected lo- cally. Prior approval from Wash- ington would not be necessary. The old civil works administration fol- approval of this recommendation was expected while|It was estimated by officials that the $142,000,000 allotment would pro- vide jobs for 169,000 for a full year at an average cost of $812 per person, including wages, materials and equip- ment, Hopkins, destined evidently to di- rect a major portion of the whole $4,880,000,000 work relief prosram, headed the old CWA and spent nearly $1,000,000,000 in five months on projects which were criticized by some Republicans and others as mere “leaf-i .

NEW CHAIRMAN FOR 5357,963| Gi 0, P. 1S SOUGHT revs, Hower w onow ee BY CHARLES CURTIS Vice President Under Hoover Raps Party Head; Says Success Possible Washington, July 2.—(#—Charles Curtis, vice president in the Hoover administration, Tuesday declared for @ change in the Republican national chairmanship. “They are not getting to work soon enough,” he said in an interview. “I think there ought to be a new chair- man.” He did not mention Henry P. Fletcher by name. Fletcher is the tional committee. He is regarded as the selection of former President Herbert Hoover titular leader of the party. “There are plenty of issues,” Cur- tis said. “The ‘save the constitu- tion’ proposition is very important, and I think there are too many boards and commissions.” He referred to a speech he made in Topeka, Kan., August 18, 1932, at- tacking “bureaucracy” and continued: “If the Republicans got in, they would reduce the taxes. That’s what I think of the Roosevelt tax program. Remember the Republicans reduced taxes when Andrew Mellon was sec- retary of the treasury. They could be reduced again if they got rid of |grain {hese boards and commissions.” Curtis added that there are “at least @ dozen” men in the Republican party who can defeat President Roo- sevelt in 1936. He did not name them. 164th Infantry Band To Play in Capital Announcement that the 164th in- fantry band will play s concert here Wednesday night was made Tuesday INJURED AS POLICE AND RIOTERS FIGHT Tear Gas and Guns Are Used to Quell Disturbance at Regina, Sask.

A second officer and a striker were injured critically. Five more police- men and a score of strikers were hurt before the police quelled the crowd, arrested 27 persons and dispersed the others, pursuing| them relentlessly through the streets, The riot broke out after the mounted police jand city officers charged a mass meeting of the strik- ers, halted by lack of funds in their march on Ottawa to protest against relief camp conditions. The strikers faced removal to a dominion camp, pending return to'their homes. Routed by the steel-helmeted offi- cers before a barrage of tear gas, the strikers attempted to return to the scene, hurling stones and other mis- siles as the mounties swung their batons. Repulsed again, the strikers plunged into renewed combat. Police fired over the heads of! the strikers during the second clash’ and the opposing ranks slugged freely in hand-to-hand fighting. After two hours of close combat, City Commissioner R.

It lined up against him Mon- day 216 to 146, a margin of 70. It then approved the house bill which would give the securities com- mission discretionary authority over the future of holding companies. The vote on final passage was 323 to 81, a Majority of 242. That action transferred the fight over the “death sentence” provision to the conference committee which will be appointed to adjust the dif- ferences between the senate and house bills. The senate adopted the provision by @ margin of one vote. For it to become law the house would have to retreat from its position. Monday it lined up against the president by 216 to 146. The vote Tuesday was on whether to substitute the house bill for the senate bill. A vote on final passage then was in order. Defeat G. 0. P. Motion Quickly the house voted down a Republican motion to send the meas- ure back to the interstate commerce committee for striking out even the milder house substitute. ‘4 Senator Wheeler (Dem.-Morit.), leader in the senate fight for. the “death sentence” clause, received word of the house vote while with President Roosevelt at the White House on another subject. “We will fight it out in confer- ence,” the Montanan said. “If we can’t get a decent bill out of con-| zou gress I am in favor of letting it die and going to the country on the is- sue. This is my personal view. How- ever, I think we can work out a satis- factory bill in conference.” ‘There was no immediate White house comment. ‘The vote of northwest representa- tives on the motion to substitute the house bill, which did not contain the death sentence clause for utilities companies, for the senate bill which did, included: North Dakota—Against, Burdick and Lemke.

Paying no attention to this expres- sion, however, the complete banking committee acted quickly to report the measure to the floor and it may be taken up Wednesday. Secretary Morgenthau and Gover- nor Eccles of the reserve board told newsmen they would have some sug- gestions to make to the full senate banking committee if their views were asked, Accompanied by Undersecretary Coolidge of the treasury, they con- ferred for about 45 minutes with the President on the changes which the subcommittee headed by Senator Glass (Dem., Vs.), made in the ad- ministration’s bill as passed by the house.

Another amendment eliminated a Provision authorizing appointment by the president of the comptroller of the currency “on recomemndation of the secretary of the treasury.” Exist- ing law, which gives the secretary no [septa of recommendation, was re- ed. Provides Independent Board the secretary of the treasury and comptroller of the currency to lose their ex-officlo memberships in 90 days. Legislators predicted the meas- ure would receive the unanimous en- dorsement of the full senate banking | bed committee quickly, after perhaps a few slight modifications agreeable to the sub-committee that worked 10 weeks in studying and revising the legislation. Chairman Fletcher (Dem.-Fla.) of the full committee, termed the bill “quite reasonable” and a “fair com- promise.” He said it was “better than I expected.” The veteran Senator Glass was happy over his handiwork. “It is @ darn sight better bill than the house passed,” he remarked to ewspapermen as he sat atop 2 com- mittee table.

As Associated Press reports filtered in from various points in the storm-swept area it was expected that many other re« ports of human catastrophe would be forthcoming from the sparsely-settled expanse. The tornado apparently spent the major part of its destructive force in the 75-mile swath of farm and ranch area lying between Watford City, in McKenzie county, and Stanley, in Mountrail county.
