program, but there was no final de
cision on the question.
Another development today was the
appointment of Horatio B. Hackett as
assistant to Public Works Administra
tor Ickes and the advancement of
Angelo Clas to Hackett’s former place
as P. W. A. housing director.
Robert Pechner, director of the
Civilian Conservation Corps, ordered
the purchase of an additional $2,500,
000 in materials for expansion of the
corps to 600,000 by August 1. In
cluded were 4,175 trucks and passen
ger cars.
In connection with rural electrifi
cation, officials said most projects
probably would result from the organ
ization of mutual companies by
farmers. They predicted “few, if
any,” generating plants would be
built, because of the huge cost. Cooke
also has said the program would not
enter fields which private capital
could handle.
Non-Federal Jobs Speeded.
Walker's application routine indi
cated fastest action on Federal and
non-Federal projects which have
been stacked on the desk of Secretary
Ickes. already bearing Public Works
Administration approval. Next great
est speed seemed in store for projects
initiated by Hopkins’ Works Progress
Division.
Walker divided all applications into
four classes: Federal projects, non
Federal projects, work-relief projects
and administrative expense projects.
Federal and non-Federal projects
already pending before P. W. A. need
not be resubmitted, but will go direct
to the Applications Division. They
then will be returned to the origi
nating governmental departments for
review in connection with work-relief
objectives before being transferred by
Walker to the Allotment Board.
New Federal projects will be filed
directly with Walker by the various
Government agencies, be reviewed
and submitted simultaneously to the
Works Progress Division so Hopkins
can pass on the potential employ
ment. Thereafter it passes from the
Applications Division to the Allot
ment Board.
New non-Federal projects will be
submitted to State P. W. A. directors
by individuals, States, counties, cities
or other governmental agencies. P.
W. A. will prepare the actual appli
cations and again Walker will trans
mit copies to Hopkins -‘or a check on
the work potentialities.
In addition, work-relief rejects
will be initiated by the Pro re s Di
vision in localities “where tue relief
situation is such as to deman small
useful projects to provide a maximum
of direct employment.” Such proj
ects will include those recommended
either to State relief officers or to
Washington by States, counties,
municipalities and other political di
visions. These will be reviewed only
by the Budget Bureau before going
to the Allotment Board.

keep any enemy fleet a sufficient dis
tance away to prevent destruction of
island naval bases.
The enemy then would unexpectedly
launch planes from its ships, with
orders to silence the shore batteries
and if possible destroy fuel and am
munition bases at Pearl Harbor.
Another objective of this attacking
air fleet would be to blow up as much
as possible of the city of Honolulu,
destroying the morale of the popula
tion. Coast Artillery, airplanes and
anti-aircraft units at strategic points
on the islands would be charged with
responsibility at repelling the attack.
RECORD AIRCRAFT FORCE.
Four Carriers Taking Part in Secret
Maneuvers.
WITH THE U. S. FLEET IN PA
CIFIC MANEUVERS, May 11 UP).—
The greatest aircraft force ever sent
to sea rides with the United States
fleet in secret maneuvers in the North
Pacific.
For the first time four aircraft car
riers are together under command of
the highest ranking naval air officer
to fly a flag in the American Navy,
Vice Admiral Henry Varnum Butler,
elevated to the new grade just before
the maneuvers. His carrier division—
the new Ranger, the mighty Saratoga
and Lexington, and the little old Lang
ley—take some 270 planes into action,
while there are 77 big patrol ships in
the squadrons of flying boats of the
Base Force aircraft under command
of Rear Admiral Alfred W. Johnson.
The new carrier Ranger, construct
ed at a cost of $21,000,000, is on its
first maneuvers. It is a 14,500-ton
craft 728 feet long, carrying 75 planes
with a complement of 1,303 officers
and men. It was designed for 29 y%
knots
Real queens of the seas are the
flagship Saratoga and its sister ship
the Lexington. They cost $45,000,000
each.
Heavy as battleships, with a tonnage
of 33,000, they have a speed of 33
knots, compared with the dread
naught’s 21-knot speed. They are 880
feet long, with the flight deck 90 feet
wide, and carry more than a hundred
planes each. The complement is 169
officers and 1,730 men, Including
aviators.

situation, Ministers of Turkey, Yugo
slavia, Rumania and Greece agreed
not to oppose rearmament of Bulgaria
and Hungary if they join in a six
power pact of non-aggression and
mutual assistance.
They reaffirmed, however, their ab
solute opposition not only to terri
torial revision demanded by the van
quished states, but also to any at
tempt by Austria to restore the Haps
burg monarchy.
At the forthcoming Danubian con
ference in Rome the four for "prac
tical” purposes will formally veto the
request of Bulgaria and Hungary for
rearmament.
A new problem, Turkey’s demand
that she be aUowed to rearm in the
vital DardaneUes, since Germany is
rearming, was left for the great pow
ers to settle. Delegates will hold a
final session tomorrow.
Italy Backs Austria.
FLORENCE. Italy. May 11 OP).—
Italy and Austria will stand together
In the forthcoming Danubian confer
ence, at least so far as Austria is con
cerned, well-informed circles said to
night.
This disclosure followed a confer
ence between Premier Benito Musso
lini and his Fascist follower. Chancel
lor Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria.
Mussolini departed for Rome to
night.
Austrian circles said the confer
ence dealt particularly with the in
ternal situation in Austria and her
armaments.
Another important point, it was
said, involved inclusion of a loophole
in the forthcoming Danubian pact,
which would permit a possible Haps
burg restoration in Austria.
Austria appears assured of Italy’s
support, principally for her armament
demands, at the Danubian conference.
Warsaw Visit Succeeds.
WARSAW, May 11 (/P).—Pierre
Laval, France’s foreign minister, was
reported tonight to have succeeded in
the object of his Warsaw visit—placat
ing Poland’s tears of the recently
enacted Franco-Russian assistance
past.
Polish quarters indicated Dr. Joseph
Beck, foreign minister, was satisfied
with Laval’s explanation the pact was
a mere corner stone for a wider agree
ment securing European peace and did
not mean an ironclad Franco-Rus
sian alliance.
Pact Basis Laid.
ROME, May 11 (JP).—Italy’s minis
ter of air, Benito Mussolini, in a con
ference tonight with Gen. Victor
Denain, France’s air minister, was
understood to have laid the basis
for a mutual assistance air pact.
They also agreed to collaborate civil
air services of the two countries, par
ticularly those to South America.
The energetic II Duce hurried back
to Rome from Florence after con
ferring today with the chancellor of
Austria.
The air pact was described as a
bi-lateral agreement to reinforce a
general air treaty yet to be negotiated
with England, Belgium and Germany.

we don’t think they should end until
the depression is over.
“We’re not looking tor jobs, we’ve
got work enough. The fanner doesn’t
know a lot about this and that, but he
likes to have his larder full and be
able to send his kids to school. I’ve
got six and they’ve all finished high
school but one. Farmers don’t like to
go on the bread line.
“Talk Farm Program.”
“Anyway, we just took It on our own
shoulders to come up here and tell
them we’re satisfied. We don’t talk
Roosevelt or Wallace, we talk farm
program. I don’t think any one could
run such a program single-handed; it
takes all of us.”
Day, signer of A. A. A. contracts in
three classifications, said he received
cash benefits during the past season
of $210 on the wheat program, $140
on the com-hog program and $70 for
the cotton program.
Farmers from about 25 States who
have received smaller and larger do
nations from the Government are
among those expected here during
the next few days. From Texas, the
leader said, will come a delegation of
about 575, the largest of any single
unit. Louisiana, despite Senator
Long's oft-expressed distaste for the
program of crop curtailment and de
struction, will send a delegation Of
200 A. A. A. supporters, he said.
Many of them, en route now, will
live on their Pullman cars wnile here,
Day said, leaving for the return trip
on Wednesday night. Expecting to
complete their more serious business
of patting the A. A. A. on the back
on Tuesday, the delegates will spend
Wednesday “seeing the sights.” Day
announced.
"We’re Just country boys,” he ex
plained In a matter of fact tone “and
it would be too bad to come such a
long way without seeing all the sight*
in Washington.
“I don’t know any of the boys who
could afiord to pay their own way
here," he continued. "It just seems
that the farmers coUected in the
school houses and passed tne hat.
Ninety per cent of them wanted to
help let the administration know
we’re satisfied.” •
Asked about the other 10 per cent,
he shrugged:
“Some people wouldn't support any
thing. They cuss the President, the
secretary, the preacher and the judge.
You can’t kill them to get rid of
them. I’ve learned just to live with
them and love them.”
Vigorous denial was forthcoming
upon the question of Secretary Wal
lace or Administrator Davis inspiring
the meeting. Equally stout was his
expression of support for continuance
of the processing tax, equally defiant
his answer to the textile interests and
others who wish it lifted.
“If industry will take the tariff off,
farmers will agree to take the process
ing tax oil,” he said. “We’ll string
along with them on that basis.”

MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 11.—A bias
ing shotgun halted an 80-mile-an
hour attempt by two bandits to escape
today less than five minutes after they
had made a spectacular robbery of a
$4,000 pay roll.
Police Officer J. J. Jeffries fired Into

bandits surrendered. A third man,
who had aided them in the robbery
of the Anderson-Tully Co., lumber
