I A lot of the' boys had envisaged a Roman holiday in public building 1 illotments all over the country. They are finding to their sorrow that the spigot has been capped.

Secretary Ickes, who administers Public Works, and Budget Director Lew Douglas, who administers economy first, last and always, are responsible. 0 0 The first proposed program for new Federal buildings that reached the board was well in excess of $100,000,000 and included tentative authorizations for just about all the post offices, court houses and customs houses that haven't beer built. Assistant Secretary of Treasury L. H. "Chip" Robert Jr.

submitted this first proposal. He wasn't to blame that it wasn't broken down. Senators and Congressmen had given him general information and suggested that he get a bulk appropriation from the Public Works fund with authority to administer it himself guided by the office of supervising architect. Ickes called no dice on such a turn. He said the program should be itemized closely and each item passed upon by the Public Works Board.

Carr as city Lest Harry get off to wrohg 'start, a number of volunteers popped up to steer him right Believing "the early bird not only, catches the worm, but maybe a city hall job, these self-appointed advisers sought out the city audi tor each morning, often as early as 7 a. m. Although blocks away from the city hall and ostensibly just social gatherings, these meetings soon had all trie proverbial privacy of a gold-.

fish bowl. The inner circle of the city manager-expectant grew in numbers up to a certain point, then gradually dwindled as the city council failed" to warm up to th Williams candidacy. Now th H. G.j W. Breakfast Club faces dis banding unless the membership committee does its stuff.

Cily Fathers Fail to Reach Decision on Appointments During Secret Session Although the members of the City Council argued and debated behind closed doors last night from 6:30 to 8:20 r.bout the possible selection of raieT.bers of the Port Commission fo succeed R. T. Fisher and Ben Pendleton, the Council was unable to reach any agreement.

The meeting was of Council members only. The City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk and all others were excluded. Councilman John L. Gresham declared later that Mayor W. J.

McCracken and Councilman Walter Jacobsen prevented any agreement by insisting upon the appointment of J. McElroy to the Port Commission, and the meeting finally bogged down in a general disagreement. MAYOR INTERROGATED A determined effort has been made by the McOracken-Jacobsen group to replace the two incumbents following an agreement reported made when McCracken was named mayor and Jacobsen vice-chairman. An audience which packed the Council Chamber to overflowing was present to watch proceedings at the regular Council session commencing at 8 p. but no mention was made publicly of political matters except that Gresham made a brief interrogation of the mayor, saying: "On July 1 there were six appointments to be made to various boards.

The charter provides that the Mayor shall nominate these persons and that the Council shall ratify. Members to the Port Commission are still unnamed. It behooves this Council to come as near to filling the bill, as it is possible to do. It is up to each Councilman to do as he promised the people he would do when elected. The Charter imposes certain duties upon you as Mayor.

I wish to ask your intentions, and just what you contemplate doing." MAYOR STUDIES PROBLEM May6r McCracken replied: "I report progress. The Port Commission is an important body which means much to the future development of our city. This requires active, keen-minded men of great judgment. I ask this Council to grant me the courtesy of enjoying full deliberation on the subject, and sufficient time for the choosing of the best man for the service." The subject was changed abruptly when Councilman George Fitzgerald moved, and the Council Kvoted, to ask the Shell Oil Com pany to make examinations as to the source of the gasoline seepage into the Golden Gate branch library. Another Council resolution asked the Library Board to take such precautions as may be necessary at the library building.

3 Face Trial for Growing Marihuana Two men and a woman were held to answer today by Police Judge Howard L. Bacon on a charge of violating the state poison act through a "too intensive cultivation" in their gardens of "laughing, weed," marihuana. They are Isadore Reisno, 61, 120a Fifth Street; Miguel Peralta, 54. 407 Brush Street, and his wife, Marie, 45. According to Patrolman George Pardee, who arrested them, the gardens at their home were surrounded by board fences 10 feet high, behind which marihuana plants were growing between rows of corn.

Pardee said he has been searching for the local source of the opiate and believes much of it sold in Oakland had been produced in the gardens of Reisio and Peralta. Bail of Reisno and Peralto was set at $1000. Mrs. Peralta was held under $500 bail. Car Thief Gets Bag From Doctor's Car BERKELEY, Aug.

17. Dr. J. B. Enos, physician residing at the Oakland Elks Club, reported to police that a bag containing medical instruments and drugs was stolen from his automobile while he wss attending a dinner last night at the Berkeley Women's City Club, Du-rant Avenue near Ellsworth Street.

Dr. Enos discovered the theft upon his return to Oakland after his car had been parked for three hours in front of the Berkeley clubhoure. Burlingame Cyclist Is Killed by Truck REDWOOD CITY, Aug. man identified as Gerald A. Foulon, Burlingame barber, was Hilled on the Bay Shore Highway at Belmont, north of here, today when he drove his bicycle In the path of a truck driven by George F.

Ickes irncd to Budget Director Douglas and suggested he was pretty good at breaking things down how would he like to take a crack at the public building projects? Douglas said he'd like nothing Vttcr. As a result, Douglas returned the program classified into five categories, They were: 1 Buildings needed immediately. 2 Buildings needed soon, but not irrmediately. 3 Buildings needed soon, but can be delayed. 4 Buildings economically sound, but can be deferred three or four years.

5 Buildings not needed at all. The fifth category carried the great majority! a The board met and considered the situation. Allotments were made for 13 build EXCESS ings in Class 1. They totaled about $6,000,000 with one new structure for New York City carrying the bulk. By now you probably will have read elsewhere in your paper of a second allotment also infinitesimal as compared with original estimates.

Curiously it was former President Hoover who first advanced the conviction there was little real economic need for new buildings. a Budget Director Douglas has been WAILS weir and fr wably mentioned to succeed sir William H. Woodin as Secretary of the Treasury when the latter retires because of ill health. The longer Woodin remains and he wants to get out the less chance Douglas will have of succeeding him. The public buildings situation is a case in point.

Douglas has bgen the high priest of economy since March 4. His one job has been to save money. He has tackled the assignment with the fervor of a crusader. Unfortunately he has trod on so many political toes the wails can be heard for miles around. Reports reach Wash ington that American interests, anticipating prohibition repeal, RUM are planning to give the famous Baccardi rum people of Cuba a little competition.

Down in the Lake Okechobee Region of Florida domestic capital is mixing medicine to convert Florida sugar cane into rum. Native sugar cane stock or bagasse, as it is called has been used principally in recent years for the manufacture of synthetic boarding. Sugar has been a by-product (less than 100,000 tons a year). The monied gentry probably figure we've had enough of things synthetic and are getting ready to offer the real, stuff. 0 a It takes' real tact and a lot of persuasion to inveigle men of high standing into accepting the COY thankless assignments as NRA code advisers for their particular industries.

At least so says Edward' H. Stct-tinius vice-president of General Motors, who is acting as liaison officer between the National Recovery Administration and the Industrial Advisory Board. He cites the method of approach required to snare Sam Harris to serve for the legitimate theater interests. First Stettinius got in touch with Irving Berlin and Bill Brady.

At the same time Webb ruled that workmen engaged in the construction of concrete mixing plants do not come under the state lav. Workmen employed in the "batching' plant" of the concrete mixing are not affected, he said. But employees who work on cement barges are affected, after the barges arrive at the pier site, according to Webb's ruling. Car Crash Uncovers Bie Alcohol Cargo GUSTINE, Aug. 18.
