Y., Sept. 11— President Roosevelt today went into the role of peacemaker and conciliator again. Secretary of Interior Ickes is coming here for a showdown on the Works Relief program. The Secretary appears concerned over the distribution of the four billion dollars of the Work Reliel Funds, Harry L. Hopkins, FERA Admin- istrator, on the other end of the argument, believes jobs should be. supplied quickly. | Secretary Ickes believes his pro- gram for bridges and buildings | should be encouraged. President’s Attitude { President Roosevelt apparently favors the proposition of making jobs quickly under the idea that Congress stipulated the four billion dollar relief fund should be spent this fiscal year. He is determined to keep the goal of getting 3,500,000 persons from relief rolls and to| work by November and end the dole. He is also just as interested,' it appears, to have private industry | take up the unemployment slack.| 'In_Washington it became known| that Hopkins rejected 2,000 public work projects. This was the spark which set blazing . ly the long- smouldering “«teud. een . the, Works - Progress Director and Sec- retary Ickes. | A Real Differcnces In announcing his showdown ap- | peal to the President, Ickes for the) first time acknowledged publicly | his differences with Hopkins. ! Ickes insisted -the projects ve- toed by Hopkins were not dead but in a, state of “suspended anima- tion.” | The 2,000 applications involved Federal Grants of $352,000,000 from the four billion dollar public works' fund. —_—————— HITLER STIRS * NEW BEDLAM “FOR GERMANS German Presidert Raps| Wilson’s 14 Points -t - Nazi Conyention NURNBERG, . Germany, Sept, 11. —President - Adolf Hitler, in a pro- cl n read. here at the Nazi Party Convention, rapped Woodrow Wilson’s famous “Fourteen Points.” Deegates from all over Germany burst ont in a bedlam of applause. “Where are the Fourteen Points of Wilson and where is the world today? The Reich is no longer a football, no longer the object of foreign maneuvering; but now, in a security created not by pacts but by the real power of the nation, by firm will maintains its leadership,” said Hitler. The proclamation continued: “We Nazis want to livel n peace and quiet with our neighbors. It is not neces- sary ‘for us to prove our security by any demonstrations. We will see that our Army ‘is protection for peaceful labor. When we are forced to make sacrifices then we will make them for our liberty and labor. This army is our most val- ued and our proudest possession.” MATANUSKA THEIR GOAL PALMER, Alaska, Sept. 11.—One hundred and twenty-five families have applied to take the places of the! few farmers who have left the Matanuska Valley project and re- turned to’ their eastern homes. — OnVaca;tion Flight ’Round World E ALASKA’S PWA ' APPLICATIONS | INWASHINGTON |$175.500 Listed in Nation- ¢ al Capital for Works in Territory | | | WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—PWA applications at the close of busi-| totaled a billiongeene ness Saturday thirty-four million dollars, includ- ing seven applications from Alaska, totaling $175,500.

The affair was a gathering tha bespoke the high esteem in which Bishop Crimont is held by those not only of his own parish but by those from all walks of life, all bodies of religious, and civic and fraternal ranks. Remarks were made that came from the hearts of the various speakers. It was a gala yet, an af- fair of appealing human interest and reverent respect. Large Attendance Six vast tables in the gaily deco- rated Parish Hall accommodated the 215 persons who attended the din- ner in honor of the beloved Bishop, and which was sponsored by the Crimont Club. With green and yeilow streamers draped gracefully from the ceiling, and orange and yellow candlesticks and lampshades adding their dash of color, gay flowers carried out the color harmonies. Marigoltis, nastur- tiums, dahlias, and gladioli filled the table vases. ‘A great vase of roses occupied the centerplece of the speaker’s table. Grace ‘Intoned The whole group stood with one accord as Bishop Crimont, arrayed in his colorful canonical gown, en- tered the hall. All remained stand- ing while the rich voice of the venerable Bishop intoned a grace. After a charming dinner, served by the ladies of the Altar Society, a vocal solo was given by Monte Snow. He was accompanied by Miss Louise Kolish. E. N. McIntyre, ac- companied by Mrs. August Good- man gave two violin solos. Bet- ty Goodman, accompanied by Mrs. Goodman, sang “Ave Maria.” The Junior Chorus, composed of six extremely juvenile songbirds, sang ““The Blue Forget-Me-Not of Alas- ka.” WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—~Wheth- er a strong threat to President Roosevelt's reelection died: with Senator Huey P.

Sometimes at night, after lying for hours in bed copying passages from the Bible, friends said they had seen him suddenly burst into profanity and decide to tour the fashionable night clubs. He would ignore messages from leading /citizens on occasion, yet secretaries said he never refused an autograph request. In one day he received 32,000 letters and tele- grams.
