Public Works Program
In a summary of progress made in creating jobs for the
unemployed by the $3,.'i00 million public works fund, Secre
tary Ickes, director of the national recovery campaign, states
that over f 1,000 million has been already allotted to specific
projects since the passage of the act by congress on June 16
and actual construction work is now underway.
While all reasonable safeguards for the public's money
are being evoked and every possible effort made to prevent
profeteering and graft, delays have been avoided as far as
possible and the utmost speed required. The full force of
the public works effort will not be felt for some time, but it
Is working and will be cumulative in effect. Mr. Ickes savs :
Our decentralized stato organization for handling the program ln
teligently on a low-cost basis with slashed overhead has now been com
pleted and Is functioning. But while we were building, we could not
hesitate, for ours was an emergency task for which there was dire need.
Therefore, the public works administration drove on with immediate and
continuous action, turning dollars Into Jobs. Available machinery was
Invoked. The first heavy blow to unemployment was taken ot the earli
est moment possible, when President Roosevelt allotted $400,000,000 for
load building. The money was immediately assigned to the states. They
have now qualified their roads projects with the government through the
United States bureau of roads and the advertising of contracts and other
requirements for protection of public money lias gone forward with
minimum delay.
Three hundred road projects giving employment to 27
000 men in 185 counties of 19 states have been approved by
the government and more are to follow. Navy shipbuilding
to put $238 millions at work in creating jobs and buying ma
terials is also underway. With the completion of state or
ganizations, many allotments to non-federal projects will be
made and many projects will also fail to win endorsement,
for no fund would be large enough to finance all the schemes
offered.
"The public works program is well launched and getting
results," concludes Mr. Ickes.
The Cuban Revolt
The Cuban revolt to end the ruthless dictatorship of
President Machado ran true to form of Latin American revo
lutions. Political factions in these republics are powerless
without the military and the army and navy decide the fate
of government. Deserted by the army, which had hitherto
upheld him, Machado had no alternative but resignation and
flight. All the many changes of government that have swept
South America the past few years, were due to military dis
content. Fortunately for the United States the overthrow of rvla
rhndn wn. hrouirhh about without intervention. The media
tion proposal advanced by Ambassador Welles, that harmony
be restored by the resignation of the president, proved suf
ficient to induce the army leaders to desert Machado, lost in
tervention follow. And like all other dictators, tne uuan
executive refused to recognize the situation until the storm
broke.
Cuba, like other Caribbean nations, is dependent upon
Wash in tr ton. for it is the United States that finances and
dcvelopes their industries and furnishes their market. And
ve haven't done a very creditable job in exploiting them, for
we have made them one crop countries in which economic dis
tress flourishes and human misery thrives.
Machado was generally credited with being the tool of
certain American financial interests engaged in exploiting
the sugar industry. Whether he was or not, a new deal is
now 'In prospect for President Roosevelt has plans for re
organizing the industry and placing a sugar export quota in
effctft, so that the over-production problem will be solved and
a diversified agriculture be introduced.

SERIES WITH
SEALS, 4 TO 3
By Associated Press
Despite two week-end trimmings
by Seattle, Los Angeles continued to
pace the Coast league today, a few
points ahead of Portland and Sac
ramento, who likewise receipted
for double lickings.
The last place Indians outslugged
Los Angeles U-10, Saturday and
thumped them again 6-1 in yester
day's opener behind George Caster's
4-hit pitching. Three Seattle errors
and lusty triples by Tut Stainback
and Gene Lillard helped the league
leaders to a 7-2 win in the 7-inning
nightcap. Los Angeles took the series
by a 5-3 margin.
Winning 2-1 Saturday and 15-t
in the first game yesterday, San
Francisco added Portland to its vic
tim list with a 4-3 series triumph.
The Seals beat Oakland three weeks
ago and walloped Sacramento the
week before last. Saturday Lee Stiue
stopped the Beavers with 5 hits,
Jimmy Zinn granted ten blows in
yesterday's opener, while his mates
banged Jacobs, Fitzke and Wilson
for 17, including a home run, triple
and single by John Bottarini. Port
land won the short second game 4-1.
Although defeated 3-2 Saturday
and 7-5 in the second half of yes
terday's twin bill, Sacramento came
out ahead in its series with Holly
wood, 4-3, Tom Flynn hurled the
Senators to a 4-1 victory in the
morning gume at Stockton.
Oakland divided yesterday's dou
bleheader with the Missions to walk
off with the series, 5-2. Nifty 6-hit
flinging by Lloyd Johnson gave the
Reds the Saturday game, 8-4. With
Bill Ludolph and Glenn Gabler lim
iting the Missions to 5 scattered
safeties, the Oaks came back to take
yesterday's opener, 7-1. Four Oak
land double plays were not enough
to keep the Reds from capturing the
nightcap, 8-7, helped by three Oak
Errors to two unearned tallies.
WW
BY PAUL MALLON
Washington, Aug. 14. If there is
any fire in the eye of State Secre
tary Hull, it is well under control.
He has been the psrfect gentleman
in the Moley case, openly and oriv-
ately. Not a word has he uttered,
except confidentially to President
Roosevelt.
The ship news reporters asked him
about his relations with the No. 1
brain trustee when he arrived from
Europe. He turned his head aside
and looked at the ground awaiting
Uie next question. No one lias men
tioned the subject to him since.
Prof. Murley is maintaining his
war debts and Russian office in the
.state department as well as his kid
napping office in the department of
justice. He is rarely in either of
thcin. For days he has been out on
the trail.
For all inner and outer appearan
ces, Mr. Roosevelt has smoothed
over the first threat of a break
in his topmost circle.
Much has been laid at Moloy's
door with which he had nothing to
do. One hi just ice was done him in
this column.
It was related that he wired Hull
from the ship coming back, asking
lor press comment on his departure
and received the answer: "Press un.
commented." Further investigation
indicates such a wire was sent and
Molcy's name was signed to it, but
he had nothing to do with it.
Apparently his name was used by
a member of his party more inter
ested in publicity than he was.
Poison Pen. A hundred other yarns
with less foundation in fact have
been whlsred around the profes
sor. Some were invented by adver
saries in the inner circle (not Hull)
Others were conjured by gossipers
who like a good story whether It
is true or not.
To keep the inside history strainrht.
the following facts may be set down
us gospel:
Mr. Roosevelt was responsible for
Moley flying up to the Ambcrjack,
wiring mm to come tnat way.
The President dir not communi
cate with Moley about calling off his
plane flight from Southampton to
London. Moley cancelled the ;
rangements on his own initiative.
Moley sent personally only one
wire from the returning ship Man
hattan, That went to departmental
adviser Bullitt. It is not involved In
the current debate.
There is no question but what a
good many people have been shoot
ing at Moley on the inside. Even be
fore the inauguration they inspired
a story that Mr. Roosevelt was get
ting rid of htm.
Moley saw the headline while com.
ing down to Washington on the
Presidential train. It read:
"Moley to'be ousted."
He dashed Into the midst of news
men on the train demanding to
know where they got such stuff.
They had nothing to do with it. The
story had been written by someone
outside the regular White House
press corps.
In the recent publicity fracas he
has kept as mum as Hull, his friends
whisper he will have something to
say later. He has obtained copies of
messages from the radio log of the
Manhattan to publish when he is
ready.
Power. Sad news for the power
companies has been in the making
at the federal commission for sev
eral days.
It will include a much more spe
cific promise of a general water pow
er investigation than was publicly
offered by the commir;ton a few
weeks back. Apparently the commls.
sion Is literally going to count the
drops of water Involved In the Na
tioiunl power situation.
The inquiry will day the basis for
future legislation to promote public
power development.
That is what Senator Costlgan had
mer than at the same time Sunday.
Four o'clock Sunday afternoon
found the mercury at the peak point
of 94. Other hourly temperatures
Sunday included: 10 a.m.. 78; It a.m.
82; 12 noon 86; 1 p.m. 89; 2 p.m. 92;
3 p.m. 95 and 4 o'clock 96.
Coal. There Is another industry
which has no defenders on the in
side in this administration. That is
coal.
From the start, those closest to the
White House have excelled that the
coal crowd Is the only one with
which they would have serious code
trouble.
It is also the only one with which
they welcome a test fight. General
Johnson has done all he. could to
avoid court squabbles with other in
dustries. The original blanket code
idea has dropped for constitutional
arguments. Each succeeding step has
been carefully made voluntary (in
name at any rate) so the recovery
scheme could be kept out of the
jurisdiction of judges.
The real reason Johnson feels dif
ferently about coal is that the gov
ernment can make its best case on
that issue.
It is an interstate natural re
source. The government has legal
rights over natural resources that
it does not have over private in
dustries like steel and automobiles.
Also, the larger mine operating
side with the government. They
want the chiseling finance required
to compete on a fair basis.
Beyond either of these considera
tions backstage. Is the question of
public opinion. The NRA experts are
confident of popular support in a
conflict with the coal industry that
they might not have in some other
cases.
Notes. Ex-Treasury Secretary Mel
lon intended to live in Washington
when he left office. A few weeks
afterward he found himself charged
with organizing the fight against
the administration's gold waiver. He
left town then and has not returned.
A Republican who called on Mellon
some weeks ago found that the man
who never reads newspapers had a
newspaper clipping on his desk. It
was a story charging that Treasury
Secretary Woodin was not getting
along well. Mellon made no com
ment about It.

situation intently today, still deter
mined that the three destroyers he
had sent to the island republic
shall not intervene in domestic af
fairs but just protect the lives and
persons of American citizens.

the approval of the new Cuban
president, Carlos Manuel de Cespe
des, Mr. Roosevelt last night dis
patched two destroyers to Havana,
on the north, and one to Manza
nillo, on the south side of the is

"Latest advices are to the effect
that domestic disturbances, includ

in parts of Cuba among certain
elements of the population.
"In these circumstances. I feel
constrained as a matter of special
precaution and sol-sly for the pur

no possible question of intervention
or of the slightest interference with
the internal affairs of Cuba has
arisen or is intended by his pre
