$1,500,000,000 ASKED FOR WPA 8Y ROOSEVELT President Makes Request in Message to Members of Congress. (Continued From Page One) taxes to provide revenues to cover the added cost. Mr. Roosevelt said that relief expenditures in the present fiscal year would approximate $3,500,000,000. His budget, he said, contemplated expenditure of an amount roughly equal to that total during the 1937 year. ‘‘An. appropriation in this amount would be within the limit set by the budget message,’’ he said, “and would in effect provide for the third successive year a reduction in the deficit.” On this basis, he said, he would be Justified in requesting a straight WPA appropriation of $2,000,000,000. “I am, however, not asking this Congress to appropriate $2,000,000,000,” he said. “I am asking only for an appropriation of $1,500,000,000 to the Works Progress Administration. It will be their responsibility to provide work for the destitute unemployed.”

No Federal Projects Out The President made it clear that the whole of the appropriation should go to the Works Progress Administration that makes jobs at a yearly average of $650 a year per man, including “security” wages, and cost of project materials. Mr. Roosevelt's message clearly ended possibility of new non-Fed-eral public works, for which he allotted $330,000,000 under the current $4,880,000,000 program. The New Deal, through its 19361937 plans, also abandoned slumclearance and low-rent housing as a work-relief activity. At present, the Public Works Administration i sconstructing 48 housing projects with $120,000,000. The President’s recommendation for WPA came when the agency, directed by Harry L. Hopkins, was under heavy fire of criticism for alleged partisan politics. Only today, Mr. Hopkins issued a general letter to ai Istate WPA directors banning political activity on all his projects. Asks for “Blank Check” The special message was in effect a request for a $1,500,000,000 “blank check” to be spent as Mr. Roosevelt directs through WPA. Such a form of spending was successfully attacked in both the Senate and House when Congress deedied not to appropriate regular government money to continue the Florida ship canal after it had been started with work-relief funds. In asking the sum of $1,500,000,000 for WPA, Mr. Roosevelt made clea rthat he believed private industry would have to give jobs to considerable numbers of the idle if the cost was to be held within this limit. He indicated some doubt as to whether private indusrty would be able to accomplish this aim without a broad national effort. Urges Concerted Action “Frankly,” he said, “there is little evidence that large and small employers by individual and uncoordinated action can absorb large numbers of new employes. A vigorous effort on a national scale is necessary by voluntary, concerted action of private industry.” He pointed to the success of the NRA in encouraging re-employ - ment and cited difficulties of achieving any similar success under "“sent conditions. request together with those ' submitted to the Con-'t,-c,v> . ’>de for the Civilian Conservation v/orps and certain public works will, if acted upon favorably by the Congress, give security during the next fiscal year to those most in need, on condition, however, that private employers hire many of those now on relief rolls.” Repeals Tax Program Coupled with his demand for relief funds, Mr. Roosevelt took occasion to reiterate his suggested plan of taxes for the purpose of balancing the budget except for relief expenditures. He said that his statement “as to

the budget program, of course, depends upon the action of the Congress with respect to the substitute taxes, the reimburoement taxes and the new taexs which I have recommended to replace the lost revenues and to supply the new revenue made necessary by the decision of the Supreme Court invalidating the Agricultural Adjustment Act and by the action of Congress in appropriating for the immediate payment at the 1945 value of the veterans’ adjusted service certificates.” Debt Increase Shown By United, Press WASHINGTON, March 18.—Increase of the national debt by almost SI,OOO, was noted today in the Treasury’s mid-month statement, registering for the first time the effect of the government’s large March financing upon the national cash register.

VENIZELOS DIES IN PARIS EXILE AT AGE OF 71 Greek Republican Chief Is Victim of Attack of Grippe. By United Press PARIS, March 18.—Eleutherios Venizelos, “The Lion of Crete,” Greek republican leader for 40 years, died in exile today. At 71, his countiy again a monarchy Venizelos’ heart wus unable to withstand the strain of a severe attack of grippe and he died at 8 a. m. (2 a. m. Indianapolis itme.) Only two wishes were communicated to those at his bedside—that his countrymen forget their differences and rally under King George for the good of the country, and that he be buried in this native Crete, whose blue waters he had wanted to see again. Mme. Venizelos—the former Helen Schilizzi, heiress of a Greek family established in England when he married as a widower in 1921—and a son by his first marriage were at his bedside, along with other relatives. Arrangements were started to take his body to Crete for burial, as he wished.

ENGLAND LEADS IN PEACE MOVE British Seek to Bring Agreement Between Powers. (Continued From Page One) proposals. They are helpless, however, to dominate the situation ■without the powerful support of Britain and must make the best bargain they can. Long Arguments Forseen The result is likely to be weeks of wrangling before a compromise can be worked out which will give France and Belgium adequate guarantees of their safety in place of the moribund Locarno Treaty, and at the same time satisfy German national pride with complete recognition of her sovereignty over German territory. When that has bean accomplished, negotiations for a general European peace agreement—perhaps the 25-year truce suggested by Hitler —may be begun. The chief stumbling block in the current negotiations is the British proposal for a demilitarized zone on both sides of the border, to be policed by an international force, including British troops. That would mean French withdrawal from their beloved Maginot steel and concrete fortifications. To that the French will not agree. However, the British insist that the proposal is only for a temporary period, during the course of the negotiations, and when new peace machinery is completed, the French can move back in. There is a bare possibility that the French may be persuaded to accept on that basis. Eden Urges Action By United Press LONDON, March 18. —Capt. Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary, urged the League Council today to declare Germany a treaty violator and to notify the signatories of the Locarno Treaty to that effect. Eden reaffirmed his previous declaration that Germany had violated both the Versailles and Locarno treaties. HOTEL CLERK HELD UP SSO Obtained From Cash Drawer in Graylyn' Robbery.
