Rigid control will be exerted over the expenses of the District George Washington Bicentennial Commission it was disclosed today in a budget drawn up by Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, auditor and budget officer, and approved by the Commissioners. The budget allocates $58.860 of the $100,000 apprepriated for the commis- sion to cover its expenses until June 30, next vear, and keeps the $41,140 bal- ance in reserve, to provide the financial needs through the last six months of 1932 Specific amounts and the pur- pose for which the money is to be used set forth in the budget. In addition, the Commissioners promulgated certain rules and regulations governing the ex- penditures $20820 for Salaries. Succintly, the budget for the period ending June 30, 1932, allocates $14.600 for administration, $14, biicity and public relations for pa- rades, pegeants and special events and $10,600 for the division of exposition. Of the $58.860 total $29.820 is for selarles, $6,000 for telephone and_tele- graph service, $2,100 for postage, $6,400 for mileagc and travel, $600 for s plies, §2,740 for stationery and equ dnent, $1,800 for miscellaneous penses, $1,200 for adverlising cclebra- tions, including photoeraphs for puh- licity purposes: $5.000 for printing booklets, programs. tickets, ete.. 51,200 for parade expenses, $300 for rovaities and music and $1,500 for rental of halls. « Believes $41,140 Sufficient. Maj. Donovan believes that if the commissicn keeps within_the prescribed budget until next June 30, the $41,140 will be sufficient to carry it through the remaining six months of the Bicenten- nial year. There is little likelihood, ac- cording o District officials, that Con- gress will provide a supplemental ap- propriation for the commission at the fortheoming session, even though there be an indication of the need of addi- tional funds All appointments of paid personnel under the rules laid down in the initial budget shall be made by the Commis- sioners on recommendation of Dr. Clovd Heck Marvin, chairman of the commis- sion. The rules also set forth that no ex- penses of any character shall be paid or obligations incurred involving future payments except upon prior approval Government rates, according to the rules, shall be paid for telephone and telegraph items, and expenses of travel | shall be paid in accordance with stand- ard Government travel regulations. Items of miscellaneous expenses must be approved by the auditor. He also must approve items relating to parade expenses and for royalties and music. ‘The rental of halls and other rentals under the rules, shall b= paid on the basis of leases entered into by the Commissioners.

While the Department of Labor has made no decision setting up a prevail- ing wage .for carpenters under the | terms of ihe Bacon-Davis act provid- ling that Government contrastors puy the prevailing wage, it was indicated today that the department would fol- low the decision in the painters’ case last week and fix’the union scale as the prevalling wage. In the case of carpenters this is $1.37'2 an hour. The attention of the department was called to a report made by a municipal erchitect’s office” inspector yesterday that employes on the school job planned to suspend work because of the reported reduction. Ready to Intervene. District officials said today they were ready to intervene under a clause in the contract which specifies that the pre- vailing wage scale in the District must be paid by Government contractors. J. W. Hunt, superintendent of con- struction for the Rose Co., denled that his company planned to reduce wages for carpenters employed on the school wor scale was now being paid, and the in- ayiry to be launched by the Labor De- partment. according to officials, will be to ascertain what wage scale is now being paid by this company. Department_officials said they also were interested in a statement attributed to Mr. Hunt that his company had never peid union or “prevailing wages.” and that “we could get carpenters today for 40 cents an_hour and common labor for 20 cents.” The Rose Co. does not employ union labor. and conducts its business on a strictly “open shop” basis.

BY the Associa‘ed Press. BASEL, Switzerland, August 19. —A recommendation that the en- tire structure of intergovernmental war debts and German repara- tions be revised as the first step toward the return of world pros- perity was made today by the Wiggin Bankers’ Committee, The committee was set up by the Bank for Intsrnational Settle~ ments at the behest of the seven= power conference in London to in- vestigate Germany’s credit needs, It is headsd by Albert H. Wiggin of New York, chairman of the board of the Chase National Bank, and is composed of the represent- atives of the 10 leading banking nations of the world. Their report criticized political dif- ferences existing between Germany and her Buropean neighbors and urged that current disputes be cleared up in order | that “good times" might again prevail in all rations. Obstacle to World Peace. | Germany's reparations payments | were assailed as an immense obstacle | to the peaceful, economic progress of the world and the great powers were advised t> “lose no time” in revising the | schedule of international paymerts. | “We therefore conclude,” the report | said, “by urging most earnestly upon all | governments concerned thet they lose Ino tim® in taking the necessary measures for bringing about such cor- | ditions 2s will allow financial opera- tions to bring to Germany, and thereby to_the world, sorely needed assistance. “We think it essential that before the period of prolongation of credits | recommended by the London Confer- ence comes to an end that the govern- ments concerned should give to the world the assurance that international | political relations ere established on & | basis of mutual confidence, which is the | sine qua non of eccnomic recovery, and | that_international payments to be made by Germany will not be such as to im- peril the maintenence of her financial stzbility.” | Bankers About Face. The recommendation came from lead- ing bankers of the United States and France, heretofore outstanding op- ponents of such revision. Until relations between Germany and other European powers are firmly established on the basis of sympathetic | co-operation ard mutual confidence,” the report said, “and an important | source of difficulty is thereby removed, there can be no assurance cf continued | and peaceful economic progress. “The second obstacle relates to the external obligations of Germany. So long as these obligations, both private and public, are such as to involve either | a continued increase in the snowball of Germany’s foreign debts or, alterna- tively, a disproportion between her im- ports and exports on such a scale as to threaten the economic prosperity of every country, the investor is not likely (Continued on Pzge 3, Column 2.)
