Washington. May 17. —(AP)—Presi-
des’ Hoo'.evelt sent his all-inclusive
public works industrial supervision
program today to a Congress where
his huge Democratic majorities were
planning expeditious action.
Requesting full excutive authority
to inaugurat a $3,300,000,000 public
construction program, has asked the
legislators to decide before early next
wr?k on new taxes to underwrite this
project.
If a decision is not reached by that
time, he will submit his own recom
ruenda’ions for levies.
Mr. Roosevelt also asked authority
to reduce or eliminate the new taxes
should prohibition repeal become ef
fective or increasing revenues make
them unnecessary.
Calling attention to the repeal
amendment before the states, Roose
velt said, in event it is adopted:
“The revenue laws
n-ould then automatically go into ef
fect and yield wholly to eliminate
the»e temporary re-employment taxes”

Raleigh, May 17.—The new Griffin
school machinery law, which held the
1933 General Assembly here until late
Monday afternoon, is admittedly very
different from any previous schbol law
and far-reaching in its effects, in that
it centers tremendous authority over
all school matters in the new State
School created by this
law. But this is made necessary by
present economic conditions and by
the fact ma: for the first time in
the history of the State all of the
money for the support of the scohols
except for maintenance of plant and
fixed charges, is being supplied from
the State treasury. Thus since hte
State is furnishing the money for the
support of the schools, it is maintain
ed that the State must of necessity
exercise strict supervision over the
manner in which this money is spent.
Another factor that made it neces

To World
Tokyo, May 17. —(AP)—A war of
fice spokesman declared today that
Japan, because of her present opera
tions in North China, would be em
barrassed by President Roosevelt’s
suggestion that nations should abstain
from sending armed rorces outside of
their borders.
“Japan is second to none in loving
.real peace,” he said, “but if the as
surance of peace means the main
tenance of statue quo, regardless of
circumstances, Japan would be un
able to subscribe to the suggestion.”
He expressed the belief, however,
that Japan might agree not to in
crease armaments until a proposed
conference could be held.
The foreign office, beyond charac
terizing it as “very important,” de
clined to comment at present on the
Statement, as it had been made di
rect to the emperor.
