A8 DULL MONEY MART + DELAYS PROJECTS Six to Ten Thousand Could Be | Employed in D. C. and Nearby Area. BY C. R-. THOMAS. Metropolitan Washington, the area around the city in Arlington and Fair- fax Counties, Va., and Montgomery and Prince Georges Countles, Md., is being held back in its development as the “sleeping room” of the Nation's Capital by & lack of public works facilities. ‘The rapid growth of residential Wash- ington has resulted in an overflow of population and homes that has en- gulfed the sewer, water and road facili- ties of the surrounding area The growth of metropolitan Wash- ington outside the District of Columbia is indicated by the following recent population figures: Per cent County. 19 inc. 20.

Efforts on the part of county and municipal governments to care for this flood of people have been made of no avail by the condition of the market for public works securities. Allen B. McDaniel, president of the Washington Society of Engineers, in co-operation with American Engineer- ing Council, appointed a special com- mittee headed by the late Dr. F. H. Newell to undertake a survey of work neld up in the Washington metropolitan area as part of a broad program to find means " of _relieving unemployment | through the stimulation of public works. Visits were made to public officials in the area and an interesting and dis- tressing situation was disclosed. The map shows the public works projects in the Washington suburban area that are ready to go ahead but are held up by financial difficulties. | Relief Bill May Help. Some of the public works projects that are now stagnating may be eligible for aid from the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation under the new relief bill when it becomes law. 1t is certain that no greater need for | public works than in the Washington | suburban area can be found anywhere in the United States. Most of these | public works are of the self-liquidating type, such as the proposed extensions to the water supply and sewerage sys- | tems maintained and operated by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Com- mission of Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties, Md. During the drought of the Summer of 1930, the Burnt Mills reservoir (the principal | source of water supply for the Wash- ington Suburban Sanitary District) went practically dry, and emergency connections had to be made to the Dis- trict mains in order to meet the im- | perative need for domestic consump- | tion. The sanitary district is still de- pendent on the Great Falls supply in emergencies. The proposed projects, involving an expenditure of three-quar- ters of a million dollars, are urgently needed, but cannot be financed under existing conditions. 6,000 Would Get Jobs. These water supply projects for Montgomery and Prince Georges Coun- ties are typical of the public works, that total about $5,000,000, and are of an emergency nature at this time. Such works would furnish employment for from 6,000 to 10,000 men who are idle, and also bring about a purchase of ma- terials that would give employment to large groups of labor in the various in- dustries concerned In Montgomery County several road and school projects are vitally needed; the bonds are printed, but cannot be | suitably disposed of. Under existing conditions, the only hope for the con- struction of these projects is the se- curing of financial ald from the Gov- ernment under the terms of the re- lief bill. Open All Day which have been delayed because of the inability to market public improvement bonds and the cutting off It is estimated that frcm 6,000 to 10,000 men could find work on these projects if of cther sources of money. they could be financed.

ORGANIZE & DRVE N SouTH Intensive Campaign Planned in Three Democratic Strongholds. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, July 16.—Organizing for an intensive campaign in the South this year, the Republicans plan to carry their fight into the hitherto rock-ribbed Democratic States of Georgia, Missis- sippi and South Carolina. These States have been Democratic since reconstruction days, and the gen- eral elections in November have merely ratified Democratic nominees for offica. Even four years ago, when Hoover broke the solid South for the first time in many years, Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi followed their tradi- tional Democratic tendencies. Missis- sippi and South Carolina increased their Democratic majorities. Predict New Gains. Democrats say the entire South and | the border States will give big majori- ties for Roosevelt and Garner in Novem- ber, but the Republicans dispute this | and say they not only expect to hold | the four States of Florida, North Caro- lina, Virginia and Texas, which they captured in 1928, but hope to add others to the Hoover and Curtis column, ‘The campalign for the Republican na- | tional ticket will be backed by fights for | senatorial and congressional seats | throughout the South, and in many in- | stances for county,and State offices. | Mississippt and South Carolina will have Repudlican candidates for Con- | gress in each district to oppose the | Democratic nominees. This will be the first time in nearly half a century that the Republican party in Mississippi has entered a candidate in each district The candidates of the party in that State have signified their intention of running as “drys,” basing their support of prohibition on the plank adopted by their State convention.

TRADE BALANCE | $6,000,000 BEHIND Commerce Department Preliminary | Figures Show Imports and Exports Low. By the Associated Press. ‘The Commerce Department yesterday said preliminary figures for June showed an unfavorable trade balance of approximately $6,000,000, and that im- ports and exports each were below one billion_dollars during the six months from January through June. Records of the department disclosed that not since June, 1911, when exports were $987,900,000. and May, 1915, when imports were $865,800,000, has either branch of forelgn trade fallen below the billion-dollar mark.

Cotton throughout the |entire 1931-32 season had held well above that of the previous season with good gains shown each month, but dur- ing June, an off month every vear, cotton exports showed a sharp decline from May, $13,275,000 from $17,577,000.

Under a change in the regulations, just approved, an enlisted man below the grade of ordinary duty ser- geant will not be accepted for re. enlistment if he marries without the written consent of his organ- ization or post commander. The change goes even farther —and in future the enlistinent or re-enlistment of a married man or one with dependents will not_be accepted by the War De- partment unless his dependents can be maintained on his Army pay plus any outside income the man may be receiving. It isn't that the War Depart- ment is opposed to marriages among enlisted men that the regulations have been tightened, but it has endeavored, like an anxious parent, to make life easler for the “buck” privates, who earn enough for themselves, but scarcely enough to support a wife or family. It's the youthful private who brings back a bride to the Army post that causes & break in the even tenor of Army life, it was explained. In many cases love soon flys out of the window when the wife realizes the limitation of & private’s pay. Usually, in such cases, a problem arises for the welfare department. tee in seating the Hambright derega- tion.

Employes in the field service of the War Department, recently reclassified and given pay increases under a deci- slon of Controller General McCarl, now lose their promotion pay, the controller general declares in a second decision. On January 11, the controller general held provisions of the classification act must be extended to the fleld service The department completed the work and on May 4, directed that ‘s slas- sification become effective Jue 1. It Tesulted in increasing rates of pay of some employes whose pay prior to July 1 was less than the minimum rates prescribed by the classification act. and of others who were recefving rates above minimum for services but not at the exact rates prescribed by the act. Thus the rates of certain clerks were in- creased from less than $1.260 a year to $1,260 a year, and those of certain other employes who had been pald odd rates such as $1540 were increased to the present rate specified in the act. Some of the typists under this re- classification would have been increased from $900 & year to $1,260. Controller General McCarl ruled that since the reallocations did not become effective before July 1, when the econ- | omy act became law, the clerks cannot receive their increased pay this fiscal | year.
