Extra Relief Funds Cut: WPA Criticized for Waste 11IW1 nx-L- i House Committee Re*' sents Expenditure of i $300,00 at World's Fair Washington, March 29.?The $150, 000,000 additional relief appropria tion requested for this year by Presi dent Roosevelt was cut to $100,000, 000 today by the House Appropria tions Committee, and the economy bloc prepared for a floor fight to hold it down to the latter figure. The measure will come up for de bate in the chamber tomorrow. A group of city Congressmen laid plans tonight for an effort to restore the $50,000,000 cut. While the outcome was in doubt, the economyites, look ing back to some successes this ses sion, expressed confidence they would again be victorious. Members of the city group, although also predicting victory for their side, were obvious ly unhappy. Coalition Sought. For they had, It was geneially con ceded, alienated members from farm ing areas, and consequently lost votes by their tactics in connection with a proposed $250,000,000 appropriation for "parity payments" to farmers which the House rejected yesterday. Striving to build up a coalition of farm and city votes to back both the farm item and the full $150,000,000 relief appropriation, they tried to exact specific pledges from the ru ral membership. Unable to obtain them, the city bloc then voted against the parity appropriation. It lost by 13 votes. The farm group was ob viously resentful. At the White House, meanwhile, Representative Sabath, (D.-I1L), af ter a conference with the President, quoted the latter as saying that $150, 000,000 wu? needed, but that if a lesser sum were appropriated, the WPA would have to stretch it out and do the best it could. In approving the $100,000,000 ap propriation, the appropriations com mittee asserted that it was follow ing "a more liberal policy than a searching inquiry probably would justify." It said that WPA, with this additional amount at its disposal, could maintain its rolls at the level desired by President Roosevelt and have money to spare. The committee was highly critical >+? ?> I' !? ******* -M- -M- ? of WPA, charging excessive admin istrative costs and specifically ob jecting to a recent expenditure of $300,000 for the erection of a WPA exhibition building at the New York World's Fair. SHIRLEY'S TEARS MAKE ACTOR WEEP Absolute quiet prevails on Stage 8 at the 20th Century-Fox studios. Shirley Temple is going to cry. A scene is being made for "The Little Princess," filmdom's No. 1 star's first Technicolor production which comes to the Paramount Thea tre on Easter Sunday and Monday. Shirley stands before the camera, while Ian Hunter, playing her father, kneels beside her. He is about to leave for Africa to fight in the Boer War. For about 15 seconds the dimpled star stands with head bowed, getting into the mood of the scene. She rais es her head, her eyes are filled with tears. Director Walter Lang knows she is ready. The scene takes only 44 seconds to shoot, but before it is finished every person on the set is in tears. The irritant which had been brought to the set to artificially produce Hun ter's tears went unused. One look at the weeping Shirley so moved the actor that his eyes filled with tears and before he knew it he was weeping with her. Only one member of the cast de liberately absented herself during the filming of the scene. She was Mary Nash, who plays the stony hearted school-mistress, Miss Min chin in this film version of the great classic. "I couldn't watch her cry," Miss Nash explained, "because I have to be unkind to her in the next scene." Production Chief Darryl P. Zan uck provided Shirley with a great supporting cast, headed by Richard Greene and Anita Louise and includ ing beside Hunter and Miss Nash, Cesar Romero, Arthur Treacher, Sy bil Jason, Miles Mander and Marcia Mae Jones. Forward-looking students in this country will undertake the study of Spanish. t- * * -M- ? ? * 4* Shoe Styles In Bloom For EASTER!_W_ Men's Shoes Brown and White and Solid White $1.M - $2.95 $195 ?i$ $4.95 SEE THESE NEWSTYLES AND OQLORS $1.98 and $2.95 Sandals, Oxfords and Straps 97c - $1.69 - $1.98 '?"* ft? *3L The Turnage Co., Inc.

She was born in Carteret county March 9, 1878, the daughter of the late Leonard and Joanna Morton, j Her childhood and young girlhood j were spent there. The family later moved to Wilson. In 1903 she was married to Henry Robert Jones of Greene county, a widower with four children. As she assumed her place as their imother she did so with a gen tle loving spirit which carried through the years and endeared her to them as a real mother. She was a mem ber of Spring Branch Free Will Bap tist Church and was faithful and loyal in her support of the church and its work. Her religion was a religion which had to do with human souls and human needs and went beyond creed or race. To realize the place she made for herself in the hearts of j those who knew her, you had only to | mention her name and invariably you got the same answer, "I love her." For several months Mrs. Jones hnd been suffering with a throat trouble j and it was known that she could not live long. She was so bright and cheerful through all her suffering it was hard to realize the,end was near. From the time she was told of the death .of- her* husband and son she sank rapidly and death came just one week from their deaths. She was buried in the family burial ground beside her husband on whose grave the flowers were scarcely wilted. She is survived by eight children, Mrs. Alton Cox, Mrs. J. P. Beaman, Mrs. Ruby Jenkins and Helen Jones, C. M., J. L. and Harvey Jones of Walstonburg, and Robert Jones of Raleigh, two step-children, Mrs. Floyd Parsons of Wilson and Wiley P.
