MILLION JOBS
Ickes Invites immediate
Applications Under
New PWA.
WASH1NOTON, May 10 Ml
The administration's 13,064,426.
000 spendlng-londlng bill will
provide Jobs for 4,136,000 per
sons, the house appropriations
committee estimated today.
For comparison, omergency em
ployment under fedorsl programs
totalled 3.124.919 on April 1.
The committee Included the 4,
136.000 figure In a report recom
mending enactment of the bill,
submitted shortly before the house
began donate on th moaaur.
2714 I'rojt-cts on Kile
While th debate was In pro
gress. Secretary Ickes threw open
his office to now applications
under th proposed new 11,465,
000.000 public works program
which the big bill would Insti
tute. Ickes directed PWA regional
offices to notify municipalities
and other public bodies that they
may now submit new applications
for projects. These would be In
addition to th 2714 projects
already filed and approved by
PWA but for which no funds
will be available until the spend'
Ing-lendlng bill passes.
Ickes Confident
Associates said Ickes was so
sure congress would adopt th
new program that h felt Justi
fied In starting work on applica
tions at one although no legal
authority for It existed.
The new bill proposes 1966,-
000.000 for PWA losn and grants
of which $216,000,000 would be
losns and $760,000,000 would go
for grants. In addition, PWA
would be authorised to sell up
to 1500.000.000 of Its bonds to
the reconstruction finance cor
poration to establish a revolving
fund from which It could make
loans.
The primary purpose of the
legislation, the report said, Is to
furnish speedily "direct employ
ment on the sit and Indirect em
ployment away from the site of
work, for some of the many mil
lions who are unemployed and
destitute or harassed by the spect
ers that haunt the doorstep of that
too large unfortunate group."
Tho committee conceded there
might be disappointments because
of Ita fnllure to sot aside specific
sums for particular projects, or
types of work, In definite areas.

their fnllure to do so was caused
by a misunderstanding, and Judge
McColloch aald he was sure they
would pay all future charges.

NEW STAR BELIEVED TO BE
ONLY 3,780,000,000,000
MILES FROM EARTH
WILLIAMS BAY, Wis.. May 10
(fli) a. alar new to the astronom
ical charts claimed attention to
day because it may be the nearest
one to the enrtn.
The star's existence was dis
closed hv snectra obtained by Prof.
G. P. Kulper of the University of
Chicago's Yerkes observatory
here.
It has been designated Wolf 424
and la of the 12th visual magni
tude.
Dr. Otto Struve, observatory di
rector, said last night It was found
to have "a very late M-type spec
trum" duplicated only by tho star.
Wolf 359, the intrinsically faint
est star known.
Alpha Centaurl heretofore has
been the nearest star known. It
Is about 4 1-3 light years, or more
than 26 trillion miles, away.
The probable distance of Wolf
424 was computed at 3.7 light
years less than that of Alpha Cen
taurl. Thus, according to the lay
