Sweeping Changes Pro
posed in System of
Relief Despite Ob
jections From Har
ington
Washington, June 13. A
House subcommittee heard the
WPA described by its administra
tor today ag a "notable success,'
then proceeded to write the final
draft of a bill which members
said would make sweeping
change s in the relief system he
had praised.
After Colonel F. C- Harrington, |
WPA head, had read a 39-page \
statement branding many of the
charges made against the relief
agency as "unfair" and "obvious-*
ly untrue", the subcommittee ad
journed without questioning Har
rington at any length. It pre
pared to present to the full
House appropriations committee
tomorrow legislation which, in
formed members said, would in
clude the following proposals:
1. Abolition of Harrington's
post and substitution of a three
member board to run the WPA.
2. Establishment of a differen
tial in wage s favoring relief
clients with dependent over those
without.
3. Ear-marking of $125,000,000
of relief funds for a public works
program to be handled by the
PWA. In this connection,' Presi
dent Roosevelt told reporters at
his press conference today he
hoped relief money would not be
ear-marked for PWA, adding
that this would mean taking care
of fewer persons on relief rolls.
4. Reduction of about $50,000,-
000 from the $123,000,000 sought
by President Roosevelt to finance
the national youth administra
i tion for the coming fiscal year.
5. Elimination from relief rolls
| of persons lacking bona fide re
lief status and limitation of the
time which others can remain on
the rolls.
6. Curtailment of the WPA'u
power to undertake such work as
the federal theatre and writers
projects.
Committee members said there
would be no substantial reduc
tion in the $1,477,000,000 which
the President recommended for
the WPA but they indicated the
agency would be expected to
make that sum last for the full
fiscal year. Congress ha s been
called upon in the past to sup
plement annual relief appropria
tions when the latter fell shbrt
of needs for the entire fiscal
year.

BIG FAT-LEAN
GAME SATURDAY,
IT WAS A GREAT DAY FOR
BUCK WALL— FATS !
SQUEEZED LEANS TOO
BAD.
Let it never be said that Buck
Wall did not have his day. To be- j
gin with there is no doubt but j
that at least 257 of the fans et j
last Sunday's double-header came
solely to see the softies play.
Both sides were in top form, the
fatties being led by John Taylor,
William Marshall, Paul Fulton j
and Tom Preston; while the'
leanies boasted such old-timers
and notorious figures a s Mac
Caudle, Ed Taylor, Leak Lovin
and Dr. DeHart.
Below will be found the box
score which gives all of the de
tails exclusive of the hits, errors,
etc. There is no doubt but that
Taylor led the hitting for the
Fats while Lovin led for the
Leans. The spectacular fielding
of Marshall, Powell and Caudle
will never be forgotten, especial
ly Marshall.
The Leans loudly and em
phatically claim a victory. The
Fats are quiet on that point. The
rules, the score books, and all of
the authorities point to the fact
that in the last half of the last
inning with the fats leading by
a s=ore of 13 to 7, then the Fats
refused to give the leans their
last man, and having succeeded
in betting out only two men, I
walked off of the field withou.
getting the last man out thereby
forfeiting the game to the Leans
by a score of 9 to 0.
As to the umpiring, it could
not have been worse. One hasj
only to glance at P. C. Campbell
to ascertain where his sympa
thies would lie. May he be more
just and open-minded on the
bench than he is on the ball field.
Of course Buck Wall wa a excited
by it all. We do not believe thai
he would intentionally make an
erroneous decision on any bail
ground. Judging by some of his
decisions we would say that
Buck weighs about 215 pounds
and that not all of it is muscle.
Of course the writer played for
the Fats, but he believes that he
can play a better game on paper
than on the diamond.

NEW STATE CAMP
FOR CONVICTS
NOW (OMPLETKI) HUM)*
IXGS MODERN IN EVERY
RESPECT.
/
Final inspection Ims been given
'.he new State highway prison
camp at Meadows.
Entirely finished, except for
leveling the grounds and some oil
the finishing touches, the Stokes
county camp is a model of mo
dern prison construction, similar
to the other five new camps that
have been and are being built in
the eighth highway division.
The camp was built at a cost
of approximately $40,000 through
a PWA project sponsored by the
state highway commission and
will house around 100 short-terrn
negro convicts.
A fireproof brick, concrete and
sttel barracks building with mod
ern toilets, showers and sink s in
side the cell blocks; a long dining
hall with a kitchen and store
rooms; a laundry; guards' quar
ters and auxiliary buildings com
plete the prison camp proper.
Outside the enclosure com
manded by machine-gun towers
and a ring of searchlights are the
garage s and shop s for highway
trucks' equipment and material.
The improvement in the prison
ers' quarters is the most notice
able deviation from the old-fash*
ionea methods of prison construc
tion.
The old water bucket and dip
i per is pone; in its place, sinks
j with side of each of the two long
| cell iunning water. Opening off!
