President Desires Projects Of CWA Completed May 1 System For Investigation Of Graft Attempts Installed By PWA Organization In Washington, D, C. Washington, Jan. 23.—The ad ministration hopes that the work ers of the civil works adminis tration can stack up their shovels and go into private industry be fore May 1. ' This expiration date was fixed definitely today by Harry L. Hop kins, director of the agency, as he emerged from a conference with President Roosevelt. There was attached to the deadline date, however, a reservation that if private industry could not find jobs for a good share of the 4,000,000 workers by that time, Mr. Roosevelt would consider the question of extending t'he life of the agency. * i Shortly before Hopkins entered the executive office, William ( | Green, president of the American , ! Federation of Labor, left Mr. , ! Roosevelt’s work room express- ( | ing a belief that “everything will , | work out all right.” < Mr. Roosevelt planned to send , to Capitol Hill tomorrow a bud getary request for a $350,000,000 ^ appropriation for the civil works administration, an amount he esti- 1 mated would be sufficient to , carry its efforts to May 1. Meanwhile, reports sprang up , I that efforts might be made to ( raise the appropriation to $2,000,- ( : 000,000 and continue the work I for another year. Some house jmembers were reported to be con- ^ |templating such an effort. The administration was predi cating its action to end the civil works by early spring on the be- ^ lief that at least three of the^ four million workers would find!, jobs elsewhere by then, either in private work or in the public works administration projects that; are expected to be well under j way with the passing of freezing I weather. j, It was pointed out elsewhere j that a pickup in employment by | May might be the result of either! of two factors, a natural up swing resulting from an increased j demand fcr goods or an increase j ■'•of the number of workers in private industry by virtue of! legislation. While the administration was planning for the closing months of the civil works administration, it also was concerned with another I and mare spectacular matter— ferreting out graft within the organization. Investigators for the interior department were pushing inquiries into a dozen cases about the country after having run down scores of other allegations.

The investigators for the civil vorks administration said today ;hey had investigated a great nany complaints which led them o mere disgruntled politicians on >oth sides of the political fence —instances of the wrong political 'aith, according to the views of he complainants. The public works administrator, Secretary Ickes, disclosed his or ganization to date had been larassed with no graft cOm 3laints, but said he foresaw a ;hance that it might come when :he public works program reach id the construction phase. “Where we will have to be on >ur guard,” Ickes said, “is after instruction begins. We’ll have ;o watch out for skipping of infracts, the putting in of poor naterial and so forth.” In putting down the ground | work for the public works pro igram and its expenditures, it was | explained, the government had ! foreseen graft attempts and had ! installed a complete investigation j system. The existence of this j system was viewed as valuable in j forestalling graft attempts as well jar in locating actual cases.

To appreciate the return on the dollar you spend for electricity, itemize your monthly electric bill in this way: 1 MONTH'S LIGHTING ... 1 MONTH'S WASHING 1 MONTH'S IRONING ... 1 MONTH'S CLEANING • 1 MONTH’S TOASTING . . . 1 MONTH’S RADIO ENTERTAINMENT ... 1 MONTH’S REFRIGERATION Actually, your monthly electric bill is a monthly pay* roll—money you have paid to mechanical servants for cooking, laundering, refrigeration, and a host of other domestic services. No other expenditure gives you as muds for your money as the wages you pay electric servants. Northwest Carolina Utilities, Inc.
