The functioning of the New Deal administration and its policies were condemned late yesterday before the League of Republican Women of the District of Columbia by Willlam 8. i VT T3 S e D. C. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1935. §1.274 04 GRANTED FOR POWER LINES Loans Approved for Seven " Projects to Serve 4,000 2 Farms. B the Associated Press. Morris L. Cooke, rural electrification director, announced yesterday he had approved loans of $1,274,084 for con- the wholesale repudiation of this coun- try's public debt or further inflation of the currency. Elsewhere in his address Mr. Cul- bertson asserted his belief representa- tive government has not been destroyed in the United States, but that it has been seriously weakened and under- mined by the expansion of Federal authority. He said: “Caesarism destroyed republicanism in Rome, and Caesarism can destroy republicanism in the United States.” An invitation was read at the mect- ing to members of the league to attend a reception Friday at 8 p.m. in houor of Henry P. Fletcher, chairman, and officers of the Republican National Committee, to be held under auspicas of the National Capital Republican Club 1n its club building at Scott Cir- Condemns Bureaucracy Here When the easiest struction of seven power line projects ‘to serve 4,000 farms. . The R. E. A. previously had an- nounced loans of $900,000 for several ‘lines in the Imperial Valley. California, *but these have been tied up in litiga- stion. Lines approved yesterday will be built in Boone County, .In County, Tenn.; Miami Coun “Bell County, Tex.: Dallas County, Iowa, and two in Scotts Bluff County, Nebr. Work Already Under Way. ~ Work on two of the projects already s under way, Cooke said, predicting construction of the two in Nebraska sould be started “within the next two weeks.” i In announcing the loans Cooke re- | fierated his confidence that the R. E. A. program would help double the| number of electrical farm homes. Ten | per cent of the 6,800,000 farms now have electricity, he said, adding, “We hope to supply current to another 10 per cent, either through our own | Pprojects or through private companies | whose interest was stimulated by our | subsidy basis,” Cooke said all allot- ments must be repaid, but explained that “later the public can ‘decide” what is to be done about farms which can be supplied with current “only with | some sort of assistance.” Cooke said the cost per mile of con- structing the 1.125 miles of transmis- sion lines involved in the seven projects would be about $1,000, but he added that Harvey C. Couch, Ar- kansas public utilities executive, was building 13 miles without a Federal foan for $606 a mile. Rates Considered Too High. ‘The director said he was not trying %o force down farm power rates, but had rejected several applications by private companies because he consid- pred rates too high, “We decided not to go ahead with them.” he said. “because there were others where the situation was more favorable. We did this only where Tates were distinctly out of line, with minimum monthly rates per farm of $9, $10 or even $15 a month.” Cooke declined to say how soon he | expected all his projects to be under tay, or how much he expected R. E. A. would loan, although insisting he did not consider “very important” ihe December 15 deadline for having all work relief projects under con- struction. He also said. “We will have @il the money we need.” The work relief high command re- ‘ently said R. E. A. would only get $10,000,000 instead of the originally earmarked $100,000.000, but Cooke Baid, “We'll exhaust the work relief anoney” before going to the Recon- | struction Finance Corp. for additional Junds.

A resolution that the District build- ing code be amended to curb the prac- tice of erecting buildings outside the | specified building line and to prevent unlawful addition of structural an- nexes was adopted last night by the Manor Park Citizens' Association. The measure came up for action as 8 result of alleged building violations in the area adjoining Fort Slocum Park, permits for which the Com- missioners said they had inadvertently issued, due to some ambiguity in the | wording of the building code. Two transportation problems were formally acted on at last night's meet- !ing. One resolution demanded that the Capital Transit Co. continue the | double tracking of street car lines on | ‘Third street from Van Buren street on into Takoma Park. dered by the Public Utilities Commis- sion some time ago, has not yet be- gun.

By the Assoclated Press. CLEVELAND, November 5.—Testi- mony that Helen Harmon, 19, of Chi- cago tried to fire a revolver during a scuffle was today before a jury hear- ing the young woman's trial on a first- degree murder charge. The State contends Miss Harmon, known to police as the “little wild- cat,” was an aider and abettor in the hold-up slaying of Albert Wesosky, a Two companions, John Pley- er and Donald Eberle, have been sen- tenced to die in the Ohio electric chair for the slaying. A taxicab driver testified yesterday Miss Harmon tried to “work” the re- volver during a scuffie with the father of the slain man. “It did not work | and then she hit him over the head,” Culbertson, President Hoover's Am- bassador to Chile, who declared it “time to exercise restraints embodied in our Constitution.” Speaking in the Mayflower Hotel, Mr. Culbertson said the State elec- tions today and the presidential elec- tions next year offer voters “an op- portunity to vote for representative institutions and private enterprise” as well as an “opportunity to vote against a tendency toward dictatorship and highly centralized Government, in- solvency and a system which today is tending toward socialism.” Criticizes Spending. Culbertsan criticized the adminis- tration’s spending of huge sums of money and asserted the policy of “soaking the rich” eventually will mean also soaking the poor. Even persons who do not pay any income tax, he said, eventually will be bur- dened by the payment of direct and indirect taxes. “I am not objecting to just and fair measures of relief and social security. They are proper and often necessary under the complex organi- zation of modern society,” sald the speaker and added: “I am condemning our vast schemes for ‘making work’; I am condemning the development of State enterprises in competition with private enter- | prises; I am condemping the granting of bounties for not producing at a time when thousands in our soclety are hungry and living in poverty; I am condemning the use of your money and mine to create a social and economic order after the theories of some bureaucrats who are now temporarily in Washington.” Sees Inflation Peril. “The American Government is im- posing an enormous mortgage on the | people,” he continued.
