B—1 0. ISCHEERD BY BL FRECAS Optimistic View Replaces Fear 1,600 Camps Would Close. By the Associated Press. The word that Demgcratic leaders expect the administration’s work- relief bill to go through swm_lye brough: cheer today to officials in charge of the 1,600 Civilian Conserva- tion Corps camps. With the big bill snagged in the Senate, they had feared the camps might have to be closed, throwing 300,000 young men and war veterans back on relief rolls. The law establishing the camps expires March 31, and authorization to continue them for two more years is contained in the $4,880,000,000 work- relief measure. Expansion Plan JIncluded, f It also carries an earmarked fund of $600,000,000 to operate the camps on an expanded scale next year. President Roosevelt proposed the| C. C. C. as one of the first of his emergency measures and now he ap- parently is willing that its member- ship should be increased from 303,000 to 600,000. Robert Fechner. director of the camps, outlined the expansion plans and indicated the President had given his full approval, provided Congress eppropriated the necessary funds. Purchase Program Deterred. H Although officials said they were | . confident new authorization would be forthceming, they acknowledged they had been slowing their purchasing program and holding up plans to ex- | pand the corps and set up about 1,200 new camps. Officials said surveys had shown at least 500,000 young men and veterans are anxious to enlist in the corps and no difficulty will be experienced in expanding to 600,000. .

STOREKEEPER IS JAILED| IN RELIEF FRAUD CASE| Goes to Prison in Default of $250 Fine for Short-Weighting i Food in Sales. i The largest fine to be assessed | ' against any of the five merchants ar- Tested some time ago on charges of defrauding persons on relief rolls by short weights in food purchases was levied Wednesday in Police Court by | Judge Gus A. Schuldt against Ellis Levy. who conducts a meat market in the 1500 block of Seventh street. Levy was sentenced to pay a fine of $250 or serve 90 days in jail and was unable at the time to pay his fine. Although he was on bond when he ap: peared in court, he was led, to the prisoners’ dock after sentence was pro- nounced. The sentence was upon the recom. mendation of Assistant Corporation Counsel Edward M. Curran, who stated that the reason for the heavy fine asked was because Levy previously had been arrested on a like charge.
