HOUSE CONSIDERS P A EXTENSION 'Two-Year Period for New Loans of $135,000,000 May Be Granted. B3 the Associated Press. The House considered today a pro- posal to extend for two years the Public Works Administration. P. W. A, due to expire June 30 un- less the bill passes, now has ‘available for loans about $124,000,000. Applica- tions are pending against this fund from communities which have voted bonds to pay their share of the cost of projects. The bill would make $135,000,000 available for grants by extending P. W. A's power to use a $95,000,000 balance in its revolving fund and by authorizing it to sell $40,000,000 of securities. Only projects already approved by P. W. A’s examining division would be eligible for loans or grants under the extension proposal. Relief Labor Order Revoked. President Roosevelt agreed last week to revoke a recent order which limited P. W. A. grants almost en- tirely to relief labor pay rolls. That order has caused communities to show little interest in P. W. A, grants. Of more than 800 offers on that basis, P. W. A. officials received but a handful of acceptances, refusal being based on the reported difficulty of finding relief workers competent for heavy construction tasks. Representative Beiter, Democrat, of New York, said he had been assured that certain funds would be made available for 1,178 new school build- ings sought by communities all over the country to replace hazardous structures. The P. W. A, which will be four Years old on June 16, has spent $,- 142,000,000, providing an estimated total of 7,300,000,000 man-hours of labor either directly or indirectly. New Jobs at Standstill. Tt had completed on May 1, 21,674 projects costing $1,900,000,000 and had under construction 3,170 projects cost- ing $1,874,000,000. New job activity Wwas at a standstill. A report of Col. Horatio B. Hackett, assistant administrator, showed P. W. A. has $53,000,000 of its available funds for grants tentatively ear- marked. This includes a $20,000,000 item for Pennsylvania's State institutional building program. Pennsylvania au- thorities have delayed accepting the money because of the present relief wage requirement. Hackett showed applications for $58,000,000 in P. W. A. grants to proj- ects for which communities have ap- proved bond elections to carry their share; $14,000,000 to projects for which State legislatures have voted appropriations, and $60,000,000 for hazardous schools. Most of the projects in the city Yond issue category and almost half those in the State appropriation list have been approved by P. W. A. Tickets (Continued From First Page.)) the record that T am not ashamed of and in order to make my own posi- tion clear,” said Kelly. “I met Mr. Lohmeyer when I was in the Detective Bureau, and there had been a hold-up at the Earle. I paid my way into thé theater both before and after that time. This year I have been sent a season pass.” Mr. Kelly explained afterward that he did not want to be in a position cf admitting testimony relative to passes received by other officers without mak- ing his own situation in this regard Cclear. ‘When Lohmeyer was asked specifiic- ally, “Did you ever send Winfleld passes accompanied by a parking tick- et?” he said yes. He then was asked how many times since April, 1932—thse first day on which the charges against Winfleld are alleged—this had hap- pened. “If T said 6 or 600 it would be guessing,” he answered. “I sent passes every week to all officers, but it just possibly happened if I had parking tickets I sent them,” the witness ex- plained, after telling the board that other officers in addition to Winfield had figured in these occurrences. Kelly asked: “If a man violated the law and there was no justification for asking cancellation of the ticket, you would not ask it?” “I would not,” the witness replied. Another witness was Louis Silver- berg, a liquor dealer, 3657 Georgia avenue, who was asked if Winfleld “ever fixed a parking ticket” for him. Silverberg’s answer was, “I don't remember.” Falls Four Floors, Lives. CHICAGO, June 7 (#).—Frank Lozosky, 26, leaned out of his bed room window—four stories high—today for & breath of fresh air. But he leaned too far and, after a complete somer- sault, landed feet first on the concrete sidewalk. Physicians said both ankles were broken. Births Reported. Harold H. and Ann M. Polk, boy.

BRITAIN ARQUSED OVER MISSING GIRL Diana Battye Disappears After Being Mysteriously Slashed on Forehead. B? the Assoclated Press. LONDON, June 7.—Scotland Yard disclosed today a nation-wide search was under way for beautiful Diana Battye, 21-year-old society girl and aspirant for motion picture stardom, who disappeared June 1 after being mysteriously slashed on the forehead. “Didi,” as she was known to her friends, was iast seen leaving the home of her childhood friend, Viscountess Long, with whom she had been staying for the coronation season. Fiancee of Asquith. The blonde beauty is the flancee of Michael Asquith, the son of the Hon. Herbert Asquith and Lady Cynthia, and police assumed she was going to post a letter to him when she disap- peared from the vicountess’ London home. Young Asquith said he received the letter the following day, but it con- tained no hint she might have planned to leave London without letting her friends know. Lady Long said “Didi,” on the day she disappeared, had kept a luncheon appointment at which her motion pic- ture prospects were discussed and then returned to the house. “She left again after making two telephone calls,” Lady Long told police. The girl was in such a hurry she did not take her hat, gloves or bag with her. Lady Long told Scotland Yard de- tectives she had received two mysteri- ous telephone calls on the day follow- ing the disappearance. Each time she went to the telephone, however, she said no one answered. " Worried Over Anonymous Letters. Diana, Lady Leng disclosed, had been worried for several weeks by a series of anonymous typewritten letters. Then on the night of May 12— coronation night, when all London was jammed with celebrating crowds—the blond beauty was slashed on the fore- head by a mysterious assailant. “Diana ran in here coronation eve- ning,” Lady Long said, “bleeding from & wound on her forehead. She said she had been slashed with a razor by an unidentified man within 100 yards of my home. “She would not let me call police because she said that she was afraid it she disclosed the attack another at- tempt might be made.” Her hostess said the girl had only about £5 ($25) with her when she disappeared. “Didi” is the daughter of Capt. Percy Battye, a former officer in the fashionable Welsh Guards Regiment, and Mrs. Leonard Hackett, the well- known airwoman. Wage: (Continued From First Page.) work, etc. Such action is to be taken, the section specifies, only when facili- ties of collective bargaining are found to be “inadequate” or “ineffective.” 0ld Feud Flares. An old and bitter feud between Lewis and Senator Holt, Democrat, of West Virginia, flared after the latter had questioned the labor leader for several minutes. Bridling at a question about his attitude toward Government inquiry into collective bargaining contracts, Lewis asked: “Senator, are you trying to be humorous?” “Not with you,” Holt replied. “Well, you couldn't with me,” Lewis added. As Chairman Black tried to bring peace, Lewis remarked: ‘I don't like the Senator’s language. I resent it. If he wants to address me in that way, I suggest he not bur- den the record.” “I want to say,” Holt countered, “that Mr, Lewis is not going to bull- doze this committee as he has bull- dozed some public officials.” “There is no bulldozing intent here,” Senator Black interjected. ‘I suggest we stick to questions and answers.” Holt then ylelded the fioor. “In reality,” Lewis said, in discuss- —_— “It Soothes and Stimulates the Kidneys” writes a physician.

Phone MEt. 1062 & ing the wage phase of the bill, “what is apparently intended—is to set up two standards or minimum of compensa- tion to low-paid workers, the first as a general right, and the second on an equivalent monetary payment for services rendered, to be determined by the board through investigation, after it has previously investigated the status of collective bargaining in any occupation and declared it to be inadequate or ineffective. “It may be that the intent is the laudable one, based on British and Canadian experience, to requiye all workers in an occupation or industry to conform to the wage standards established by a substantial majority of workers in an industry. “Be this as it may, such a proce- dure, to say the least, is very con- fusing, and extremely difficult of ap- plication. Moreover, what is of fun- damental importance is that it is not in accord with American precedent or practice for, I repeat, it amounts to a wage-fixing by a governmental agency made in consideration of all the equities involved. “It is unnecessary for me to add further that it is my conviction also that any sanction for action by the Labor Standards Board such as the inadequacies or the ineffectiveness of the facilities for collective bargaining, as set forth in section 5, as a basis for establishing & minimum faiy wage would be futile. Moreover, in my judgment, it would Inevitably bring the administration of the bill into an unfortunate conflict with the Wagner Labor Relations Act, and, in this con- nection, I suggest that there should be an express provision in the bill that nothing therein contained shall be held to repeal, amend or modify the N. L. R. act or any of its pro- visions. “I have emphasized this matter of a living wage and the elimination of section 5 and related sections be- cause I think it is essential that the bill now being considered be looked at, not as an isolated piece of legis- lation, but as one item in a much larger program which is being de- veloped in this country, partly through legislation, partly through a develop- ing social consciousness, and partly through the activities of organized labor itself. This bill, with its par- ticular proposals, will be successful only in the degree in which it fits into the larger program, and this pro- gram, in turn, will be successful only in the degree in which it meets the legitimate aspirations of labor.” Labor Asks Greater Power. Charging that “American leader- ship has not grown in knowledge and wisdom and has nothing more to offer than a repetition of our deplor- able experience of the late 20s,” Lewis informed the committee and a crowded hearing room, “American working men are convinced that they must have both political and economic ganization and power. They believe their economic strength must be equal in bargaining power with the indus- trialist so that through constructive collective bargaining and co-eperation with enlightened capital, a stable and permanent prosperity for all groups in America may be secured. “The wdrkers are also convinced that political strength is necessary so that industrial planning under Fed- eral auspices may be made possible.” Lewis declared himself emphat- ically opposed to geographic wage differentials as “no more than a plea for the continuance of low living standards in the Southern States.” "Make Hair Grow while the sun shines” L J “It {s a well known phenomenon that in the summer the growth of hair is morerapid,” saysDr. Arnold Lorand, Vi- enna Dermatologist.

Dr. and Mrs. Marvin will hold a re- ception this afternoon at the Wash- ington Club for graduates and their parents.
