Richmond, when the commissioners learned of the pos sibility that funds administered by the park service would be available /or developing recreational centers on city »nd county owned lands. Fairground Project The commissioners have in mind, of course, the Cleveland county fairgrounds, for which application to the CWA was made more than a year ago. At that time, plans (sketched by Dan Frazier on the suggestion of Dr. J. S. Dorton, were submitted to T. R. Morse, state works supervisor for the CWA. Mrs. | Thomas O’Berry said then that she approved the project, and it was thought, likely that the county would obtain funds for creation of a lake, playgrounds, summer houses, etc., at the fairgrounds. Then the CWA ended. The National Parks service, ac cording to President Roberts, now has founds available not only for parks but for road beautification, cemetery improvements, and other such county and city projects. $10,000 For Materials The telegram to Inspector Sharpe specified 40,000 man hours of labor for completion of the fairgrounds plan and $10,000 worth of materials. The county, of course, wants the land to be used. Mr. Roberts urged speed, be cause. he said, suggested projects went sent to Washington Thursday. Cleveland’s request.

Labor Disputes Measure Passed 63-12 By Senate Wagner BUI. Guaranteeing Bight* Of Workers To Collective Bargaining OK’d.

Not a single floor amendment vas attached. Supporters of the bill. which ireates a permanent National Lab >r Relations board with power to ►rder plant elections, said they were onfident President Roosevelt would approve it. Little Opposition Aside from a brief speech by Sen ior Hasting, Republican of Dela ware, contending it was unconsti utional because it “denied” free lorn for minorities, , and a future ittempt by Senator Tydings, Dem crat of Maryland, to amend it by orbidding one labor group from oercing another, there was vir ually no outspoken opposition. This was in direct contract to fforts to beat last year's bill. Re written since then by Senator Wag ier, Democrat of New York, who ist session piloted through a stop ap measure setting up a tempor ry board, the bill nevertheless con ains all the essential features of he previous measure.
