Power, Irrigation, Flood Control Projects Are On PWA List.

WASHINGTON, June 13 (U.P).

| —The New Deal prepared today to

begin the most ambitious, strictlyFederal spending program for the construction and improvement of power and irrigation projects, public buildings and flood control works since 1933. PWA officials estimated that projects whose cost will total more than

two billion dollars are being con-

sidered for part of the 200 million

| dollars set aside in the pending re- | lief-recovery bill for works to be St, told police he was slugged and Federal | robbed of $10 and his watch by a

by PWA Administrator Harold L. |

| Ickes and President Roosevelt to be | most needed and economically jus- | tified will be undertaken.

+ | Although refusing to reveal spe-|

cific projects, officials said the list | probably would include new agri- | cultural stations, river stages, na- | tional park buildings, customs houses and power, irrigation, navigation and flood control work. Funds have been virtually assured | for the continuation of flood control works on the lower Mississippi and navigation improvements on | the upper part of the river. Other | projects which are favored for some | of the funds are flood control and navigation work; dredging of New York harbor, construction and improvement of Federal hospitals and prisons. |

NEW YORK, June 13 (U. P.). Alfred P.

A $1 dividend was paid last vear He termed the bill deflationary ! ‘as affecting the national economy” and said that it would “penalize the very group that it is supposed to help.” |

$2000 STOLEN BY BURGLARS: JEWELS TAKEN

Washington Blvd. Home Is Robbed of Diamond-Plati-num Bracelet.

Police today sought burglars who stole loot valued at more than $2000 in nine week-end crimes. While Mrs. Hattie A. Smith, 60, of 3822 Washington Blvd. was shopping late Saturday, burglars took jewelry valued at $1200 and $50 in cash from her home. She said a diamond, platinum-set bracelet valued at $500, two rings valued at $375 and a brooch worth $150 were among the jewels taken. Carl H. Oehmich, 35, of 3040 W. 16th St, reported his home entered and jewelry valued at $700 stolen. James Mann, 68, of 725 E. 22d

robber who followed him after he alighted from a streetcar at College Ave. and 27th St. Albert Maiden, 28, of Alabama St, told police clothing valued at $25 was taken from his home during his absence. William T. Smith, owner of the Hotel Men's Club, at 561 W. 26th St., reported whiskey valued at $25 stolen from the club. Betsy Ross Kitchen,

night, and $30 in cash and cosmetics valued at $10 were stolen,

| store officials reported.

Burglars fired shots through nine windows of the International Harvester Co. warehouse, at 1065 W. Washington St, after looting the garage of $57 worth of tires and tubes, Howard McLellan, reported to police.

SEWER TUNNELING COSTS MORE, CLAIM

Works Board Hears Reports On 38th St. Project.

The Works Board today failed to take action on the proposed 38th St. storm sewer although it was told by engineers that the tunneling method advocated by City Engineer Henry B. Steeg would be “much more expensive” than the open cut method. Mr. Steeg recently recommended the tunneling method because, he said, it would be between $50,000

and $70,000 cheaper than the sur- |

face cut originally planned. Postponement by the Board of a

| decision already has resulted in a

two weeks delay in starting work on the sewer, which would run under 38th St. from Central Ave. to Pall

| Creek.

H. W. Heath, branch manager of

| the Lock Joint Concrete Pipe Co.

told the Board that his experience had shown that “tunnel work is much more expensive than an open It is resorted to only where ii

Howard Schurmann, Independent

clared that tunnel work was not only more expensive but that it also would not eliminated piles of dirt

| in the street which the board has { been seeking to avoid.

Both men urged the Board to seek the opinions of competent contractors who are specialists in sewer construction. They argued that WPA labor, which the city plans to

| use. lack sufficient skill to do tech-

nical tunnel work. They said that if the tunneling method is used it might be necessary to import skilled labor from outside Indianapolis. Both men said they had planned to bid on concrete pipe for the job if it were done by the open cut method. The tunnel method would be done with metal pipe.

It was indicated the rear troops of the Japanese, in their advance westward, already were threatened. Military experts here said if the river really overflowed the entire scene of the fight for Hankow must be shifted. Flood experts said that if the river stayed out of bounds, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Japanese and Chinese, and millions of helpless civilians, would be in danger, How big the flood was, or exactly what was its cause, remained unknown. Weeks ago Chinese had threatened to flood Central China if necessary to stop the Japanese. All they had to do was to cut the dykes. Today, the Chinese charged the and airplane bombardments on the central front had weakened the dykes so the The that Chinese The dykes had been broken in the Kaifeng area between Suchow and Chengchow, and the river threatened to block the path of Japanese units.

some of Doihara’'s men were without supplies or means of retreat. Aside from the threat of im-

They estimated that 30,000,000 persons in war zones had filed from their homes to seek shelter and food behind Chinese lines.

the German minority in Czechoslovakia might seek. The Sudeten German minority party claimed 90 per cent support in vesterday’'s balloting, last of a series of three. The party held that the almost solid vote gave Konrad Henlein, German minority leader, the right to speak for the Germans as a whole in his demand for autonomy. But the situation was complicated because both Czech and Slovak parties increased their votes and thus leaders of every faction claimed victory.

Nazi Discusses Plans

For Church Peace

VIENNA, June 13 (U.

No information was available as regards the success of the conference, which it was believed was held early this month. Both governmental and church quarters maintained secrecy.

Street Fighting Occurs as Franco Troons Move Into Key Town.

HENDAYE, June 13 (U. P).— Rebels expected to complete the occupation of Castellon de la Plana today, while the main bodies of three columns were trying to exterminate or force the surrender of an estimated 36,000 Loyalist troops to the north, Street fighting was in progress in the outskirts of Castellon de la Plana, the key to Valencia, and Gen. Miguel Aranda, commander of the forces which broke the city’s defenses after six weeks of bitter fighting, announced he hoped to occupy the town soon. To the north of Castellon de la Plana, Rebel occupation of Oropesa closed a huge triangle—running from Castellon de la Plana to Albocacer and Torreblanca—around the 36,000 Loyalists who failed to escape south through a narrow bottleneck, the Rebels claimed.

BERLIN, June 13 (U.

The speech was made in Hitler's presence yesterday by Rudolf Hess, his deputy as leader of the Nazi before 500,000 persons at Stettin. Discussing Czechoslovakia’s for army reserves, Hess said: “Europe and the world have none but the Fuehrer to thank that this dangerous game did not lead to catastrophe how paltry are those abroad who think Adolf Hitler could scheme war and destruction! He knows war would mean an end of European culture. Hitler's nerves and boundless love of peace are to be thanked that there was no catastrophe.”

should be reviewed in its true pere spective, The Philippines’ problem has not been before the American people in concrete from since 1904,

| If any nation could live in isolation | the United States probably could, Ibut I do not see how any nation could live alone any more than an individual could isolate himself in a community. Q—What, in your opinion, is the most practical solution of the Phile ippines question? A-—The problem lies chiefly in the correction and harmonizing of the incompatible economic and political policies that the United States follows in respect to the Philippines. Therefore, the final terms of our political policy cannot successfully be carried out until our economic policy has been changed. A successful correction of our economic policy should precede the consummation of our political policy. A program of economic ade justment should be carried out scientifically and, therefore, without an element of pressure because of limited time. Despite the impore tance of economic and financial consideration America has a broad er stake in the Philippines than these concepts include.
