RODSEVELT TAKES WCARLONGRUSE Assistant Navy Secretary Also Guest on Trip Aboard Sequoia. By the Associated Press. ANNAPOLIS, Md., July 27.—Presi- dent Roosevelt’s guest tonight on a week end cruise down Chesapeake Bay was Controller General McCarl, one of the New Deal’s sharpest thorns. Long a personal friend of the EXec- utive, McCarl nevertheless has blocked more than one administration project, squabbled with cabinet members over expenditures. Further, McCarl re- cently has been boomed for the Re- publican presidential nomination next year. As he fished and talked with the watch dog of the Federal Treasury, Mr. Roosevelt had with him another guest whose business relations with the controller general may have been znone too friendly. Assistant Navy Head Guest. + The third prominent member of $he presidential party was Henry Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, which has been battling with the controller general over dollars and cents ever since the office was estab- lished, 14 years ago. The executive made no announce- ment of his week-end plans as the Government yacht, Sequoia, steamed |. away today, except to say he hoped to get in some fishing and be back in the White House Sunday night. He may have anticipated some chuckles, however, over the conversa- | tions between McCarl and Henry Roosevelt. Only recently McCarl and the Navy were engaged in a bitter| controversy over travel allowances for | dependants of naval officers ordered | home to retire. | ‘McCarl, a Republican, who was sec- getary to Senator Norris, Republican, ©of Nebraska, when he was named con- troller general in the first year of the Harding administration, _recently elashed with both Norris and the ad- ministration over T. V. A. expendi- tures. Recent Refusals. Before the Nebraska home folks started “McCarl for President” clubs last Spring, McCarl also had turned down housing programs for Harry L. Hopkins; refused to pay for a shower bath installed by Secretary Morgen- thau, refused to pay Gen. Pershing’s Pullman fare without receipts, refused to install a water cooler for the Su- preme Court and made Rexford Guy fTugwell, rural resettlement director, | pay the difference between airplane | &nd railroad fare on a Florida trip. Other guests of the President in- eluded Mrs. McCarl, Miss Marguerite Lehand and Miss Grace Tully, per- | sonal secretary, who brought aboard & bundle of correspondence. Works (Continued From First Page.) under the United States Bureau of Roads, 883 men, at $1,589,90¢ Projects awaiting approval included gewer projects for employing 1,055 men at $960,569 and miscellaneous projects for jobs for 3571 men at a fotal cost of $3,848,713. The District Project Board, named about a week ago by Commissioner Allen, yesterday announced approval of 12 additional projects to cost $473,- 553 and to employ 609 more persons dor a year. If approved by Aleln these €wo will be sent along to Federal officers. Zoo Work to Cost $229,632. Among the new proposals are proj- | ects for improvements at the Zoo at | 8 cost of $229,632. They are designed to give steady work to 225 men. The | ftems include new fencing, new cages, a shelter, new restaurant building, new convenience stations and new walls | for the lion house. The Project Board consists of As-| sistant Engineer Commissioner How- ard F. Clark, the deputy works ad- Jministrator; Auditor Daniel J. Dono- van and William C. Cleary, assistant deputy administrator, with Ross Haworth, secretary. The board has approved projects for a variety of grading, landscaping, repairs, walks and road projects for the Zoo; quarry- ing stone for building construction to employ 31 men at a cost of $13,832; a new attack on the starlings, giving work for 35 men at a cost of $10,605; mosquito control work for 49 men with the cost calculated at $45,372.

Other work at the rifie and small- caliber ranges would cost $48,000 and give work to 73 men. Jobs Drafted to Fit Need. Projects are being drafted to fit the employment need. Labor is the guide rather than meré construction plan- ning. Thousands of dollars will be spent for white-collar projects for the reason that there are 211 professional and technical persons on relief and 1,480 “office ‘workers.” Studies show there are 1,336 skilled ‘workers; 2,377 semi-skilled workers, such as chauffeurs and watchmen, and 8,640 unskilled laborers subject to re- lief. There are 1,000 others having no_experience in any kind of work. ‘About 25 per cent of the total on re- lief are women and about 75 per cent are colored. Delays that have dogged all efforts of Federal and District officials in getting the program started since April 8 are shown in newspaper ac- counts of steps taken in the pre- liminary moves. Allen was named District admin- Istrator June 17. The matter had been discussed for weeks previously. On June 17, 18 and 19 Federal Works Progress Administrator Hopkins held & conference for his State adminis- frators at the Mayflower Hotel here. District engineers already had Zeady for approval a series of high- ey and sewer projects. On June 21 JAllen sent to Federal officials five Jhighway projects to cost $1,236,713 and two series of sewer projects to ‘cost $1,144,075. “ On June 24 Allen called District department heads into conference and told them to “make speed” in submitting additional projects. They ‘began to flow in several days later. On June 24 Hopkins' staff asked Allen to submit names of his work assist- ents. This was done the next day end approval came back on June 26. -~ On July 1 the Federal Allotment Board recommended granting the District $2,017,043 to make an early start on projects. Grants for New York City, Alabama, Georgia and In- diana were also recommended. Presi- | By the Associated Press.

THE HAGUE, The Netherlands, July 27.—Premier-Designate D. P. Aalberse tonight found The Nether- lands’ political and financial crisis too much for him, and handed the pre- miership back to Queen Wilhelmina. It was confidently expected former Premier Hendryk Colijn would resume the office next week, reconstruct his own ministry and renew his fight to defend the guilder against devaluation. Aalberse, summoned after Colijn’s “hard money” government resigned | in the face of parliamentary opposi- tion to its economy program, gave up when he found he could not get the support he needed for his government. A more optimistic atmosphere pre- vailed in financial circles at Amster- dam. Reports there said the Bank of The Netherlands was expected to raise its bank rate again to 7 per cent, in an effort to halt the fight of gold. Yesterday's losses were about $15,000,- 000.
