DOLE MILLIONS SPENT TEACHING FANCY DANCES

‘Boon Doggies’ Outlay Also Rouses Ire of Probers in New York. By C * it'd Prrti NEW YORK, April s—Ballet dancing, ‘‘boon doggies." puppet maAlptuauon *nd hobby teaching for New York’s unemployed were helped toiay by a $19,658,512 relief budget for April. The appropriation was approved with protests after an aldermanic committee investigation revealed how millions were spent to bolster the morale of the city's 1,000.000 unemployed. All kinds of dancing, from tap to eurhythmic steps, were taught with other forms of recreation at a co6t exceeding $3,000,000 a year. In addition to the lively arts, relief project* went far afield in academic pursuit*, the inquiry revealed. A sociological survey of the city’s Italian population cost $51,000. The Irish were Ignored, an alderman complained. A survey on the “divergency between viscometers” stumped the committee and roused bitter complaint over relief methods. Other ways in which relief funds were spent were equally confusing. Aldermen learned that ‘‘boon doggies” pertains to making gadgets. Sample Projects Listed A few samples of university projects, to provide Jobs for white collar worker*, included: “A study of the predominating non-professional interests of teachers in nursery kindergartens and first grades.” “The task of educating public opinion relating to social-economic problems.” “Factors In body-iron requirement for regeneration of hemoglobin in the blood.” “Compilation of a standard Jewish encyclopedia.” Terms Surveys “Bunk” Lloyd P. Stryker, counsel to the investigating committee, called these surveys “Just junk.” Three borough presidents assailed the relief administration. Samuel Levy. Manhattan, said he felt he could not vote against the April appropriation to relieve suffering of human beings when monkeys in the city zoo were receiving adequate medical care and food. George U. Harvey, Queens, warned that he would not vote for the May budget unless relief methods were changed drastically. James J. Lyons, The Bronx, joined in the criticism. Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia defended the relief program. He contended the city had more to show for its relief dollar than any other community. Project* Are Defended “It is quite possible,” he said, “that the people do not understand some of these projects set up to give college people relief. I see nothing ridiculous in giving relief to people who need it. College graduates are going to get the same consideration as others in need of employment.” Col. William J. Wilgus, director of the works division of the relief bureau, also defended expenditures, arguing that the "taxpayer was getting an even break.” His thesis was that work was done at 50 per cent efficiency, otherwise the taxpayer would be getting “two for one” for his money. He spoke of the work division as displaying a “real devotion to duty" and anxious to serve “their fellow men.” PARK BOARD AWARDS CONTRACT FOR PAVING Crushed Stone, Cutback Asphalt Bids Are Accepted.
