WASHINGTON. July 14. The most
noteworthy progress of the work
progress administration ao tax haa
been In spreading more blame than
n-ork. Every manicured Index finger
of an Insider seema to be pointed at
aome other insider. The fact la none
of them will have
any roses pinned
on them for
what haa been
done so far.
The whole story
would require 10
volumes, but a
few hearty ax
swings at the red
tape til 1
enough to give
jou an Idea of
has hap
pened under-
neath. MAIXUN
President Roosevelt submitted the
Indefinite outlines of the 4.800.000
effort six months ao and told con
gress to hurry with the appropria
tion. The deadline was July 1. altho
he wanted to get started much earlier.
Todav. the prORram Is still unlaunch
ed Only a few dozen Jobless have
been transferred from relief to work
rolls. Pinal approval has been given
only to three state plana (Indiana.
Georgia and Alabama) and only to
two cities, (New Yorx and Washing
ton). .
The most optimistic around Mr.
Hopkins' headquarters will confess,
off the record, that It will be a
"month or two yet" before they really
get going.
What Is holding Mr. Hopkins back
now is mainly organization. For some
weeks, the active boss of the program
has been trying to organize a staff
of worka supervisors over the country.
All state supervisors receiving more
than 5000 salary must be confirmed
by the senate. Consequently, the
senators had to be consulted about
these appointees. Many small delays
developed due to conflicts between
eenatora and governors. In same cases,
men suggested by them were rejected
by Hopkins. Impartial observers now
feel that he has the nucleus of a
fairly competent staff.
u.tt. .11 this Btalf Is new and Inex
perienced. It replaces the pld state
relief organizations and hence must
be instructed In Its duties. Hopkins
bad to go to the extent of organizing
training schools for that purpose.
These are being held now In the
states. (One Is going on this week in
North Carolina.)
If you want to know wtiy all this
was not done before this late date,
you will' have to ask Mr. Hopkins.
What held up Mr. Hopkins for two
months before that was Mr. Ickos. It
Is not a secret that Messrs. Hopkins
and Ickes sparred almost continuous
ly since the legislation was enacted.
Mr. Hopkins thought In terms of
unemployed people. Ho did not care
much about projects, except those
which would furnish employment
where the unemployed are. Mr. Ickes
thought mcatly of socially useful pro
tects. He lost.
The result was that the project list
of the national resources board had
to be tossed out the window, sheet by
sheet. A new list of projects was
compiled. But after they had been
authorized and announced, It was
discovered these also would not do
the Job. for the same reason. The
money would be used up without ab
sorbing the unemployed, because too
mutfh would go for materials. That
list was rescinded. Now It Is being
revised.
There la a feeling among Mr. Hop
kins' friends that Mr. Ickes has failed
to over-exert himself since he lost the
decision, but that la a long story.
An Item of forgotten history Is that
the blame for the original delay goes
to congress. It squabbled over the
legislation for three months (exactly
eighty-seven days). The first reason
was that It wanted to find out what
projects President Roosevelt had In
mind. All It found out was the re
port of the national resources board,
containing a lot of expensive 20-year
projects, now scrapped. Another rea
son was that senators wanted to pay
prevailing local wages on relief work.
Under tha latest dictum of Mr.
Roosevelt (June 31, the pay rate will
be around 600 a year, or 50 per
month per man.
The president himself haa escaped
in the general round of flnger-polnt-Ing.
If you go back and look Into
the record of his public statements
since January, you will find no evi
dence of any promises unfulfilled.
For Instance, he mentioned no speci
fic date for starting the work.
But if you will look at his original
message to congress, you may find a
significant piece of evidence. In it
he favored both the viewpoints of Mr.
Hopkins and Mr. Ickes.
His primary principle then express
ed was that all works should be use
ful "not for a day, or a year, but
useful In the sense that it affords
permanent improvement In
living
conditions" (This la the Ickes conten
tion exactly'i.

Oven Fire Hazard In

In Camp.
(By the Associated Press)
A blistering sun and furnace-hot
winds set new heat records In Oregon
yesterday, were Indirectly responsible
for a death by drowning, and caused
the collapse of four persons, one
whose condition waa critical.
Robert S. Meeds, 19, of Portland,
drowned while trying to escape the
heat by swimming In the Willamette
river.
M. E. Soule. 70. Newbcrg. Ore., mall
carrier, was overcome by heat. His
temperature waa 109 and his condi
tion grave. Newberg'a temperature of
110 waa the hottest reported In Ore
gon. The worst fire hazard In years pre
vailed In the Columbia gorge forests
Friday when a 38-mlle an hour gale
waa blowing and humidity had drop
ped to the almost unprecedented low
of 18 per cent. Fire hazard over the
entire Pacific northwest was acute,
but diminished somewhat Saturday
with humidity rising slightly.
(By tlie AsMwlated Press)
A boiling sun and brisk, heat-laden
winds turned northern Oregon and
the mid-Columbia river basin into a
bake oven which melted several all
time records here yesterday (Satur
day). The worst fire hazard in years pre
vailed In the Columbia Gorge forests
Friday, when a 38-mlle an hour gale
waa blowing and humidity had drop
ped to the almost unprecedented low
of 18, Fire hazard over the entire
Pacific northwest was great, but un
diminished somewhat Saturday with
humidity rising slightly.
North Dalles, Wash., led the heat
parade at 100 degrees with The Dalles,
Ore., across the Columbia river,
sweltering under 108 degrees, hottest
day since the record HO-degree mark
set July 4, 1922.
New all-time heat records were set
at Portland and at Salem, both with
105 degrees. Portland's previous rec
ord was 104.2 degrees set In 1926.
Salem'a old record of 104 was set in
1927. At least three persons were
prostrated with heat in the upper
Willamette valley.
Forest fire hazard was so acute that
Regional Forester C. J. Buck ordered
CCC boys to forego their usual week
end holidays and remain in camp
over the week end to be ready to
combat any fires. No extensive forest
fire has menaced the northwest yet
this season.
Buck explained that any humidity
reading below 30 or 35 west of the
Cascade mountains Is considered haz
ardous. Southern Oregon was on the fringe
of the frying pan, eo to speak, with
Medford reporting "only" 97 degrees,
but record-breaking low humidity of
23 per cent. Humidity as low as 15
per cent was reported Friday at
Grants Pass.
New seasonal heat records fell In
many places where the all-time rec
ords held. A new record of the sea
son was act at 104 degrees In La
Grande; Pendleton reported a new
peak for the year at 106 degrees;
Hood River, Ore., 106; Walla Walla,
Wash., reported 104 degrees, and at
Bend In central Oregon a 08-degree
temperature coincided with the
breaking by & state highway crew of
the snow blockade on the 7000-foot
high road to Elk lake and Sparka
lake, high in the Sierras.
The heat wave dipped as far south
as Roseburg. where 104 degrees made
previous marks for the year appear
insignificant. Eugene, nan way De
tween Salem and Roseburg, escaped
with 99 degrees.
Oregon coast towns enjoyed moder
ate temperatures with Marshfield re
porting 66-degree weather and Nortn
Head at trie Columbia river mouth ft
mere 62 degrees.
A Portland reporter found the side
walks In the business district were
124 degrees In the sun and 108 In the
shade.

As this hot and temper-trying .v,ek

tho leaders.
How long attention could be kept
primarily to the business in point
was a quctsion seeming to vary with
tho temperature. And the weather
man helped little.
President Roosevelt and an assort
ment of his legislative and adminis

been exchanging worm words of la-e,
sought the cool of Chesapeake buy
for the week-end. Sport was the an
nounced surprise; but the list of

than fishing to think about.
For one thing, the president's oc

matters of policy were considered by
some democratic leaders to make
their tasks harder. The one asking

sible skepticism over tho constitu

The volume of capltol mall next

not being contested along the old
