Ryburn G. Clay, Atlanta banker and member. of the board, said he had hopes that a delegation of prominent Georgians would be able to see President Roosevelt early next week and make an ap peal to him to waive the legal technicalities in the way of the work loans. Nothing had been heard from Washington, however. The Georgia constitution limits the amount of indebtedness which counties may assume, and many of them already are committed to the limit, preventing them from putting up the collateral required for the federal loans. Numerous ‘proposals are under conisderation for circumventing the letter of the law by leasing the improve ments from the government with title to be delivered when rentals have been paid for a certain num ber of years. There are several variations of that plan. Clay’s Statement Clay said only $7,068,840 of the total applied for in Georgia, cov ‘ering 21 projects, could be bonded ‘under the Georgia law. These can be sent to Washington at once for anproval. Another 29 projects have been proposed with leases, rentals or franchises offered as security. Two bridges have been proposed with about $609,000 in tolls offered as security. Thirty-seven ptojects, Clay said, totalling $21,222,381.91, has been proposed with notes and contracts offered as the only collateral, ) Another list of .projects ds in shape to be finally considered as the result. of a constitutional amendment under which the state issued highway repayment certifi cates to numerous counties for funds advances toward construc tion of the state highway system The federal public works bhoard, Clay said, has agreed to buy these at a discount, and about $736,000 worth of work may be financed in that manner. Affects Entire State Projects under consideration to tal 109, from all parts of the state, the bhoard announced. The only loan so far approved so! Georgia is a $710,000 school con struction program at Augusta ex pected to give 100 men work for six months. The . total of nearly $80,000,000 in Georgia projects includeg $46,- 365,120 for a barge canal across South Georgia, which would be a federal project not involving the collater- difficulty. Sponsors of that scheme now are asking for a ship canal to cost around $125,- 000,000. Attorneys preparing the brief for President Roosevelt included Marion Smith John A. Sibley and Warren Moise of Atlanta, Robert Russell of Winder, a brother of Senator Richard B. Russell, jr., and Ben,amin E. Perce of Augus ta. They said they hoped to fin ish their work hy Tuesday.

Farley Saturday stepped into discussions over an independent democratic mayoralty candidate, giving rise to reports he 'might ask Tammany Hall te with draw Mayor John P. O'Brien from the race. Farley, who arranged conferences with party leaders on his return late in the day from Bridgeport, Conn,, was being quoted in well informed circles as remarking that the city’'s political picture would be‘ changed corapletely within the nexy week.

CITIZENS TRY LIGHT FROM CUBA \Havana Faced With Seri ous Shortage of Food as Result of Strike ‘ HAVANA—(AP)— A group of 16 American and British nationals, ‘held virtual prisoners of striking miners at the Tanamo sugar mill ‘near the north coast of Oriente province, Saturday night prepared to flee to the safety of the United States Destroyer Hamiiton. Meanwhile a gerious rebellious imovement in Matanzas province had fallen, apparently of its own weight, and the army of President Ramon Grau San Martin turned lits attention to the possibility of a serious food shortage in the capi | {al. Eight men, three ‘women and five children were in the party be sieged at the sugar mill. American authorities hoped to get them aboard . the Hamilton without landing marines or sailors. The action of the American gov ernment came when food supplies were running short and the chil dren were left without milk, The strikers threatened to cut off the water mains leading to the homes ‘of the foreigners. The mills are owned by American interests, including groups repre sented by Percy -Rockefeller and Vincent Astor. ’ Reliable reports said United States officialg: were treating with ‘the strikers in an attempt to se cure the release of the 16 persons. Down the island, in Camaguey province, - Juan Blas Hernandez continued his revolt, reports reaching here saying he had en gaged government soldiers in a skirmish near Jatibonico. Ten rebels, including three of Blas Hernandez' sons, were taken pris oners, the reports added, and two soldiers, were wounded by machine gun fire. The possibility of government action to meet the growing food shortage in Havdna loomed when the army started a gurvey of all foodstuffs on the docks. The shortage resulted from a strike of warehousemen which still was un settled. . Political negotiators still sought a solution for the situation created by the demands of Grau's oppo nents that he resign and the re fuszl of hig supporters to agree to 'such action. 5 Work Is Rushed on Tobacco Agreement Before Marts Open WASHINGTON —(AP) —While the farm ~administration worked overtime to prepare a flue-cured tobacco markeling agreement be fore the Carolina markets re-open Monday, representative Gasque of South Carolina made plans Satur day to investigate profits of man wufacturers as compared with re turng to growers. Gasgque, whose sixth district produces the bulk of South Caro lina’s tobacco crop, said he intends to introduce early in the next con gress a resoluton calling for such an investigation. . He plans this action, he said, despite the fact he is “very much pleased” with the prospecty of a tobacco marketing contract agree able to farmers. Administration Decrees That Borrowing Farmers Must Agree to Cotton Reduction WASHINGTON —(®)— Officials of the farm administration, Recon struction Corporation and Farm Credit administration definitely de-. cided Saturday to require farmers who borrow ten cents a pound on their cotton to cooperate in the production control plan for next year, In the case of tenants, the pledge may mean very little, for they may cultivate other land nextyear, or possibly may not cultivate any at all. ‘The prospect that thousands of tenant farmers may be unable te make arrangement with their land lords next year due to the fact that cotton planting is to be re duced to 25,000,000 acres is one of the things causing the farm ad ‘ministration concern. ~ The county allotmeng will be a 7 e .
