Hackett as assistant to Public Works Administra- tor Ickes and the advancement of Angelo Clas to Hackett's former place as P. W. A. housing director. Robert Fechner, director of the Civilian Conservation Corps, ordered the purchase of an additional $2,500,- 000 in materials for expansion of the corps to 600,000 by August 1. In- cluded were 4,175 trucks and passen- ger cars. In connection with rural electrifi- cation, officials said most projects probably would result from the organ- ization of mutual companies by farmers. They predicted “few, if any,” generating plants would be built, because of the huge cost. Cooke also has said the program would not enter fields which private capital could handle. Non-Federal Jobs Speeded. ‘Walker’s application routine indi- cated fastest action on Federal and non-Federal projects which have been stacked on the desk of Secretary Ickes, already bearing Public Works Administration approval. Next great- est speed seemed in store for projects initiated by Hopkins’ Works Progress Division. Walker divided all applications into four classes: Federal projects, non- Federal projects, work-relief projects and administrative expense projects. Federal and non-Federal projects elready pending before P. W. A. need not be resubmitted, but will go direct to the Applications Division. They then will be returned to the origl- nating governmental departments for review in connection with work-relief objectives before being transferred by ‘Walker to the Allotment Board. New Federal projects will be filed directly with Walker by the variows Government agencies, be reviewed and submitted simultaneously to the ‘Works Progress Division so Hopkins can pass on the potential employ- ment. Thereafter it passes from the Applications Division to the Allot- ment Board. New non-Federal projects will be submitted to State P. W. A. directors by individuals, States, counties, cities or other governmental agencies. P. ‘W. A. will prepare the actual appli- cations and again Walker will trans- mit copies to Hopkins -or a check on the work potentialities. In addition, work-relief »rojects will be initiated by the Pro.-e.s Di- vision in localities “where tae relief situation is such as to deman small useful projects to provide a maximum of direct employment.” Such proj- ects will include those recommended either to State relief officers or to ‘Washington by States, counties, municipalities and other political di- visions. These will be reviewed only by the Budget Bureau before going to the Allotment Board. 400 FLYING “FOES” TO ATTACK HAWAII IN SECRET BATTLE (Continued From First Page.) keep any enemy fleet a sufficient dis- tance away to prevent destruction of island naval bases. The enemy then would unexpectedly launch planes from its ships, with orders to silence the shore batteries and if possible destroy fuel and am- munition bases at Pear] Harbor. Another objective of this attacking air fleet would be to blow up as much as possible of the city of Honolulu, destroying the morale of the popula- tion. Coast Artillery, airplanes and anti-aircraft units at strategic points on the islands would be charged with responsibility at repelling the attack. RECORD AIRCRAFT FORCE. Four Carriers Taking Part in Secret Maneuvers. WITH THE U. S. FLEET IN PA- CIFIC MANEUVERS, May 11 (P).— The greatest aircraft force ever sent to sea rides with the United States fleet in secret maneuvers in the North Pacific. For the first time four aircraft car- riers are together under command of the highest ranking naval air officer to fly a flag in the American Navy, Vice Admiral Henry Varnum Butler, elevated to the new grade just before the maneuvers. His carrier division— the new Ranger, the mighty Saratoga and Lexington, and the little old Lang- ley—take some 270 planes into action, while there are 77 big patrol ships in the squadrons of flying boats of the Base Force aircraft under command of Rear Admiral Alfred W. Johnson. ‘The new carrier Ranger, construct- ed at a cost of $21,000,000, is on its first maneuvers. It is a 14,500-ton craft 728 feet long, carrying 75 planes with a complement of 1,303 officers and men. It was designed for 20% knots Real queens of the seas are the flagship Saratoga and its sister ship the Lexington. They cost $45,000,000 each. Heavy as battleships, with a tonnage of 33,000, they have a speed of 33 knots, compared with the dread- naught’s 21-knot speed. They are 880 feet long, with the flight deck 90 feet ‘wide, and carry more than a hundred planes each. The complement is 169 officers and 1,730 men, including aviators.

S MINERS VETO STRIKE IRONWOOD, Mich, May 11 (®).— An anti-strike movement among miners on the Gogebic Range was given an added impetus today when | members of the Employes’ Representa- | tive Council at Oliver Iron Mining Co. Properties announced that 928 out of 951 employes on that company’s pay roll have voted against going on strike. In taking this vote, the Oliver em- ployes joined employed miners at the Newport, Sunday Lake, and Eureka Mines in protesting against the walk- out proposed by miners’ unions.

They also agreed to collaborate civil air services of the two countries, par- | ticularly those to South America.

Italy Backs Austria. FLORENCE, Italy, May 11 (#).— Italy and Austria will stand together in the forthcoming Danubian confer- ence, at least so far as Austria is con- cerned, well-informed circles said to- night. This disclosure followed a confer- ence between Premier Benito Musso- lini and his Fascist follower, Chancel- lor Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria. Mussolini departed for Rome to- night. Austrian circles said the confer- ence dealt particularly with the in- ternal situation in Austria and her armaments. Another important point, it was said, involved inclusion of a loophole in the forthcoming Danubian pact, which would permit a possible Haps- burg restoration in Austria. Austria appears assured of Italy's demands, at the Danubian conference. Warsaw Visit Succeeds.

(Continued Prom Pirst Page.) we don’t think they should end until the depression is over. “We're not looking for jobs, we've got work enough. The farmer doesn't know a lot about this and that, but he likes to have his larder full and be able to send his Kids to school. I've got six and they've all finished high school but one. Farmers don't like to go on the bread line. “Talk Farm Program.” “Anyway, we just took it on our own shoulders to come up here and tell them we're satisfied. We don't talk Roosevelt or Wallace, we talk farm program. I don’t think any one could run such a program single-handed; it takes all of us.” Day, signer of A. A. A. contracts in three classifications, said he received cash benefits during the past season of $210 on the wheat program, $140 on the corn-hog program and $70 for the cotton program. Farmers from about 25 States who have received smaller and larger do- nations from the Government are among those expected here during the next few days. From Texas, the leader said, will come a delegation of about 575, the largest of any single unit. Louisiana, despite Senator Long's oft-expressed distaste for the program of crop curtailment and de- struction, will send a delegation of 200 A. A. A. supporters, he said. Many of them, en route now, will Jive on their Pullman cars while here, Day said, leaving for the return trip on Wednesday night. Expecting to complete their more serious business of patting the A. A. A. on the back on Tuesday, the delegates will spend Wednesday “seeing the sights,” Day announced. “We're just country boys,” he ex- plained in a matter of fact tone. “and it would be too bad to come such a long way without seeing all the sights in Washington. “I don’t know any of the boys who could afford to pay their own way here,” he continued. “It just seems that the farmers collected in the | school houses and passed tne hat. Ninety per cent of them wanted to | help let the administration know | we're satisfied.” . Asked about the other 10 per cent, he shrugged: | “Some people wouldn't support any- | thing. They cuss the President, the secretary, the preacher and the judge. You can't kill them to get rid of them. I've learned.just to live with them and love them.” Vigorous denial was forthcoming upon the question of Secretary Wal- iace or Administrator Davis inspiring the meeting. Equally stout was his | expression of support for continuance of the processing tax, equally defiant his answer to the textile interests and others who wish it lifted. “If industry will take the tariff off, farmers will agree to take the process- ing tax off,” he said. “We'll string ! along with them on that basis.” e S Esperantists to Honor Mother.

DAY, W. & J. Sloane % A-S POLICE GUNS HALT FLEEING BANDITS One Shot, Companion Captured Five Minutes After Memphis Pay Roll Robbery. By the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 11.—A blaz- ing shotgun halted an 80-mile-an- hour attempt by two bandits to escape today less than five minutes after they had made a spectacular robbery of & $4,000 pay roll. Police Officer J. J. Jeffries fired into the fleeing bandit car, shattering the driver’s left arm. Police described the wounded man as Felix C. Cutcher, 42, former Missouri and Arkansas train robber and paroled Federal convict. As Cutcher's arm was shot he lost control and the machine leaped a curb. Aided by officers in a second police car, Jeffries and Patrolman John Lucchesi leaped out and the two bandits surrendered. A third man, who had aided them in the robbery of the Anderson-Tully Co. lumber manufacturers, had disappeared. Cutcher’s companion gave the name of Lawrence Barnes. After questioning Barnes, police took a third man, Odell Smith, 23, into custody. He denied knowledge of the robbery. Lying on the sidewalk awaiting the arrival of an ambulance, Cutcher turned to a patrolman and pleaded: “S8hoot me between the eyes.” London is the greatest on record. 711 Twelfth Street Solving the Problem of Furnishing The Bride’s Home With the new plan of presentation, together with the “Try- Out Rooms,” the prospective bride can enjoy the thrill of furnishing her honeymoon home with practical demonstrations not leaving to guess-work.
