56 MILES PAVING

SAYS FITZGERALD ' t • • •, \ r

Life of Street Surfaces Pro­longed for Years at Small Cost, Declares Public Works Head.

(Continued from Page 1.)

Watchdogs—Old and New

cut by the commissioner, include; Completion of approximately

thirty miles of new and modern street lighting.

Removal of 110,000 cubic yards of refuse by the garbage and ash dis­posal bureau.

"Troy is one of the very few cities in the state which carrfes on this work as a regular municipal service, and the satisfaction afford­ed by the efficiency of this bureau Is evidenced by the fact that com­plaint calls from citizens are re­markably few," the official com­mented.

Other Accomplishment*. Other accomplishments include: Installation of a modern tele­

phone system in all city depart­ments. This results in a substan tlal saving in the annual com munication expense, he states.

Cleaning, grading and repairing of Anthony Park, the athletic field at School 14, the 116th Street base ball field, Klnloch Playground and the Prospest Park baseball dia­mond.

Repair and maintenance of all oity buildings.

"These buildings have all re­ceived considerable attention and are in excellent condition so that now all that they require is ordi­nary maintenance," the report says.

Patrol of the streets by two mo­tor brooms and two flushers.

"These machines cover fifty miles of streets in every 24 hours. Routes are so laid out that these machines cover the central business section daily and the outlying and resi­dential sections twice weekly. The work accomplished by this bureau has resulted in our streets being kept in such a condition as to cause words of praise from resi­dents, as well as visitors."

The commissioner notes the many storms encountered by the department through the year.

"In addition to the ordinary con­trol of sewage, this bureau has been called up to make many diffi­cult and costly repairs because of the overtaxing of the system by these storms. The equipment of this bureau has been modernized so that today it has the most mod­ern and practical equipment for the safe and efficient performance of its many hazardous undertakings. At the occurrence of each of the several storms, it was necessary to work the personnel of this bureau from 24 to 36 hours."

En route to U. S. fleet maneuvers in the Caribbean, these two watchdogs of the fleet—representing the new and old type destroyers—passed under Brooklyn Bridge. The Warrington (left), recently completed at a cost of $4,000,000, displaces 1,850 tons and carries eight five-inch guns; the Babbitt (right), completed in 1919, dis­places 1,099 tons and carries four four-inch guns.

THREE KILLED, 22 HURT AS TORNADO

HITS TENNESSEE Memphis, Tenn. (INS) — Three

persons were dead and 22 others suffered from injuries today as the aftermath of a tornado which swept into west Tennessee from Louisiana and spent its force on smaller towns late yesterday.

A school bu:; was blown from i"ds highway near Luray, and the driv­er and one child were slightly in­jured.

The dead were Mrs. Cecil Wilson, of Bargertown, her daughter Mary Ann,* 4, and Monroe Willis, 45, of Silberton, They were killed when their home's collapsed.

Cyclonic winds likewise were felt in the Farmington section of Ar­kansas, but no reports were re­ceived of any casualties.

NORTH CAROLINA ISLE INHABITANTS

OBSERVE CHRISTMAS Rodanthe, N. C. UP)—There was

a story here today that at the stroke of last midnight the cows and the sheep, even the wild ponies that roam this narrow island, knelt in prayer as did the shepherds at the birth of Christ For this vil­lage of fishermen and their children it was the start of another Christ­mas.

Ever since English pioneers set­tled here more than 200 years ago, Christmas has been observed Jan. 5. Apparently the custom is a hold­over from "old Christmas"—The twelfth night, or the epiphany, which falls on Jan. 6.

The little ones hung their stock­ings last night as did their main­land cousins Dec. 24. They arose early this morning to find the stock­ings filled and presents stored about the house.

Christmas tree exercises will be held tonight, probably at the vil­lage school building. The tree—it was imported from Roanoke Island, scene of America's first Chrfstmas observance 353 years ago, because there's only one tree in Rodanthe. It's a big old oak and unsuitable for festive -purposes.

VANDENBERG SCORES CIVIL SERVICE FOR EMPLOYEES OF WPA

STATE BANK CALL ISSUED. Albany (U.R)—State Superintend­

ent of Banks William R. White is­sued a call today for the condition of all state banks as of D e c 81, 1988.

BOGUS U. S. BILLS MADE IN FRANCE

Paris (JP)—French police today raided a villa in a Paris suburb where they said they found a sub-cellar printing plant of a ring manufacturing and distributing large quantities of counterfeit United States and British currency in Europe.

Detectives said that bogus 810 and 820 and five-pound notes with face value of more than 878,000 were seized in the villa at Brunoy, which was guarded by a big Saint Bernard dog.

A printer was arrested. Police, who identified him as Jean Faivret, said they surprised him burning some of the output of the plant.

Detectives asserted that the ring operated mainly in Central and Eastern Europe.

Washington IrP)—Clear-cut op­position developed in Congress to­day to placing the WPA employees under civil service.

Opponents interpreted the move as a trend toward making the WPA a permanent agency, and de­clared it would give a preferred jobholding status to many admin­istrative employees they consider incompetent.

Proponents replied that it was a step toward eliminating the "pol­itics in rel ief for which the WPA has been criticized.

Under an executive order issued last June 24 by President Roose­velt', '35,000 WPA administrative employees will be blanketed into the civil service Feb. 1.

"It's a marvelous perversion of the ordinary American process," commented Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich).

"Ordinarily, the result of such an indictment as was filed by the Sheppard committee against the WPA would mean the wholesale evacuation of the 'gangsters.' In­stead, they are to be rewarded by life tenure in their rocking chairs."

FIRE APPARATUS CALLED BY DREAM

Philadelphia (UP) — Thomas Lit­tle awoke suddenly and ran from his home shouting that it was afire.

Neighbors sounded an alarm and soon the street was filled with fire apparatus. But police and firemen could find no blaze. Finally, under questioning, Little admitted that it might have been just a bad dream.

TWIN REPUTATION. Yarrawonga, Australia (U.R)—A

house built here has acquired the appelation of the "Twin House," not because there are two of them but because five sets of twins are In some way associated with it. The contractor, builder, painter and tenant of the house have all be­come fathers of twins while the owner is also a twin.

COMPLETES NEW CABINET IN W A N

Premier Says National Ener­gies Will Be Devoted to "Attainment of Crusade Objectives."

Tokyo UP)—The Fascistlc, 78-year-old bachelor baron, Kiichiro Hlranuma, formed a highly author­itarian government today with completion of a cabinet that in­cluded the resigning premier, Prince Fumlmaro Konoye.

Prince Konoye became minister without portfolio, a new post, and most of his cabinet officers re­mained in the new government which is expected to Impose in­creasingly strict control of eco­nomic lite, seek to consolidate Jap­anese conquests in China and bring all political parties into a single, nationalist group.

The new cabinet was installed by Emperor Hlrohito at the palace early tonight. Konoye also was in­stalled as president of the privy council.

Hlranuma, in a post-installation statement, said that "the nation now is facing a situation of un­precedented difficulties and all the national energies will be devoted to attainment of the objectives of our crusade."

From the powerful war minister, Lieut. Cen. Seishiro Itagaki, who retained his portfolio, came the statement:

"The army will make every ef­fort to achieve its objectives in China in accordance with the pre­viously established policy."

That policy, outlined by the out­going government, calls for estab­lishment of a Chinese regime amenable to Japanese domination, continued military occupation of vital poir , in China, inclusion of China in a close political, economic and cultural union with Japan and Manchoukuo, establishment of a "new order" in East Asia.

The cabinet includes four new ministers, Sotaro Ishiwatari, fi­nance; Yukio Sakurauchi, Minseito party advisor, agriculture; Yonezo Maeca, minister of mallways, and Hisatada Hirose, who had been vice minister, as minister of wel­fare.

Remaining in the cabinet: Hach-iro Arita, foreign minister; Lieut. Gen. Seishiro Itagaki, war; Ad­miral Mltsumasa Yonai, navy; Marquis Koichi Kido, formerly welfare and now home; Suehiko Shiono, justice; Gen. Baron Sadao Araki, education, and Yoshiaki Hatta, overseas.

Obituary DEATHS — FUNERALS

FILIPINOS PREFER THATCHED HOUSES

TO MODERN FLATS Manila, P. I. (U.PJ—President

Manuel L. Quezon is seeking to overcome, by setting a personal example, the reluctance of Filipino workers to move into a modern tenement house built herje by the government.

The Philippine Commonwealth president personally filed applica­tion to lease one of the apartments for a month. The application was granted and the president paid 87.50 rent for the month.

After signing the lease, the presi­dent "occupied" the apartment for a brief rest before returning to Malacanang, the presidential pal­ace.

The government built the tene­ment-apartments after fire de­stroyed hundreds of napa-thatched houses in a Manila slum district. The apartments were offered to workers for rentals up to $7.50 monthly. Laborers were slow to take the leasee. Some said the rental was beyond their means. Others insisted they preferred to live in the thatched houses. t

ROOSEVELT ASKS $8,995,663,200 FOR FISCAL YEAR

Plans Record Peacetime Na­tional Defense Outlay, Opposes Drastic Cut in Recovery, Relief Funds.

and unsettling developments in the field of international relations dur­ing the past few years," the Presi­dent admonished. "Because of the conditions of modern warfare, we must now perform in advance tasks that formerly could be postponed until war had become imminent."

At the same time, the President continued, the businessmen and farmers and workers, no less than the unemployed, are entitled to an assurance that the government's program to check the downward spiral of business will not be cur­tailed "arbitrarily or violently."

Expenditures contemplated for the fiscal year beginning July 1 are the second largest since Mr. Roosevelt took office and are ex­ceeded only by the outlays of $9,492,000,000 estimated for the cur­rent fiscal period.

The President expects govern­ment revenues to stage a minor comeback after June 80, forecast­ing that next year's receipts would increase by $149,250,000.

Defense Expenditures. Of the boost in national defense

expenditures contemplated next year, $100,000,000 will be allocated for battleships already under con­struction. Approximately $210,-000,000 will go for new additions to the military establishment, in­cluding an increase of 8,000 in the enlisted personnel of the Navy and a moderate augmenting of Army and Navy aircraft equipment.

Mr. Roosevelt will send Con­gress a supplemental national de­fense message next week in which he expects to ask authorization for a $500,000,000 national defense in­crease.' Only $210,000,000, however, will be spent during the next fiscal year for new military items.

Combined relief costs next year will be $021,530,000 less than for the current fiscal year. Mr. Roose­velt estimated the WPA, the Na­tional Youth Administration and the Farm Security Administration would require about $1,750,000,000 of the total.

About $800,000,000 will be re­quested to carry on relief activities during the next six months.

Justifies Huge Deficit-

Justifying another huge deficit, Mr. Roosevelt contended that a violent contraction in federal spend­ing at thin time would be ruinous to business and would promote misery among a large segment of the population.

Although the public debt will rise to a record-shattering peak of $44,-458,000,000 on June 80, 1940, the President insisted that anything revolutionary in the way of taxes at present might upset the eco­nomic applecart.

"I believe I am expressing the thought of the most far-sighted students of our economic system in saying that it would be unwise either to curtail expenditures sharply or to impose drastic new taxes at this stage of recovery," he asserted.

While cautioning Congress •tsTsp-proach the problem of federal tax

revision with extreme care, the President chided congressional leaders for having failed at the last session to provide additional Kvles to meet the cost of the $212,-000,000 parity payment program on farm goods.

New Tax Suggestions. "In view of the addition to our

public expenditures Involved in the proposed enlarged national defense program and the program of ag­ricultural parity payments, for which no revenue provision has yet been made, I think we might safely consider moderate tax in­creases which would approximately meet the expenditures in these ac­counts," he added.

Except for suggeetiag «axtenslon of the nuisance levies, and urging continuation of the three-cent post-ago rate, Mr. Roosevelt will make no further specific tax recommen­dations.

The President indicated, however, that he is still in favor of bring­ing salaries of state, municipal and local political officers and employ­ees under the federal income tax laws.

Should Congress adopt new tax­es, "more scientifically planned" the President saw eventual appeal of the nuisance levlea
