WASHINGTON. May 13. Traffic Is
Jamming up around President Roose- j
velt's four billion dollar pap barrel
The place has
been overrun
lately with gov
ernors and may
ors or their spe
cial representa
tives. The boys
ara crowding in
from far and
near, trying to
arrange quietly
for their swig of
that four billion.
All are promot
ing pet projects
bark home.
PAUL MALLON
The crowding has become so close
that the mayors have actually estab
lished a Washington headquarters.
The official conference of mayors Is
opening up offices In an old brown
stone front edifice, half a block from
the White House. Only one lobbying
outfit Is nearer to the executive man
sion, and that Is the women's peace
organization.
Of course, the mayors insist they
are not lobbying. In a sense, that Is
true. There Is no doubt that the re
lief program requires states and cities j
to have representatlvs on th Job here
to look after their Interests. Their
relations with the federal govern
ment have become so extensive that
senators and congressmen can no
longer handle the Job effectively.
An old ex-tarlff lobbyist stood be
fore the new mayors' lobby building
recently and pondered how times
have changed. In the old days, a lob
byist was any hired man who wore a
red necktie and diamond scarf pin
while seeking to Influence the pro
cesses of government. This gentry has
passed away.
In their places have grown up
groups which seem . to bo. endlessly
spreading. A few years ago. the fore
most groups with Washington lobby
ing headquarters were those of the,
veterans, manufacturers, labor, etc.
The New Deal has developed such
new high-powered publicity prrmot
ing outfits as the Committee for the
Nation, led by Wall Street mcney agi
tators; the Union for SoclM Justice,
led by a Detroit priest; the Ameri
can Liberty league, and now the con
ference of mayors.
Just for the information ot mayors,
they need not werp about the state
ments being pu'- out by the New
Dealers (Hopkins, et al). Implying
that cities arp not going to get much
money unlefs their credit is good and
they can borrow it from the govern
ment. The situation on that Is that Mr.
Hopkins wisely wants to give away
Just as little money as possible. He
would rather lend it. However, the
financial situation of most of the
rules is no secret. If their credit
range should ever be made the strict
test, they would never get any money.
But Hopkins must give them the
money because the relief problem is
largely In their hands.
Also, many cities loom larger than
states in the fiscal and public works
field. For instance, the ten largest
fiscal units of government are: the
federal government, five cities and
four states, ranking In that order.
New York City spends more for its
police than 35 states do for their en
tire government.
Hopkins merely wants to make the j

covered from Emigrant lake at 7:37 1

ties to believe he had been knocked S
unconacfous In the accident.
The tragedy was witnessed by
Johnson's friend. Wayne Hill, of

the dork In the Bpeedboat. and the
latter turned the boat In a wide
circle, preparatory to coming In. The
craft upset while making the curve,
about 100 feet from shore, and wit
nesses said they only saw Johnson
for a second before he went under.
Several of those on the shore, led
by Arnold Bohnert of Central Point,

diving, but found it impossible In
the muddy, 30-foot depth of water.
