S. Loan "CLEAR" STATEMENT NEEDED, HE CLAIMS Restrictions On Use Of Federal Road Money Unknown Here Failure of officials of the Public Works Administration in Washington to make clear the conditions under which it would advance funds to Eal timore for public works as a part of the National Recovery measures is re iponsible In a measure for the fact that to work has been started in Baltimore, laid Mayor Howard W. Jackson today, The Mayor said he knew rs little about the conditions under which the federal money could be obtained as he did three months ago. Program Long Ready His inability to get from the Federal poads Administration a clear state- nent of restrictions which may sur found the expenditure of about fOO for a highway through Baltimore. nd the possible construction of the Bath Street Viaduct, has prevented a tart being made on that work, said the Mayor.

A program of $16,000,000 of municipal Improvements, about $11,000,000 of hich could have been started in thirty Says, was prepared last June when the Understanding of conditions surround-frig the advancing of funds by the Pub-tic Works Administration was somewhat different from the understanding of today. This program is compli-tated by the city debt situation, the Mayor admitted. "I had a telegram from Vettcr, the ecrctary to the Mayor's Association, Is located in Washington," said the Mayor. "It asked me to wire him fcny suggestions I might have which Would aid in speeding up the public works program which is to aid in re-tovery. Collateral Question Rises "I am at a loss as to how to answer fcim.

"I have been trying to learn what the tequirements of the Public Works Administration will be in the matter of money lent to Baltimore under the Condition" under which the Federal Government gives thirty per cent, of the cost of a project and lends seventy fr cent. "What will they do? Will they require Baltimore to deposit its city bonds as collateral for the loan? Will they require us to give a bond? Will they accept a promissory note? I don't know. I have been trying for three months to find out I know no more Dow than I did three months ago. "Are they going to require Baltimore io put up its good bonds, while they fcecept the I. O.

U. of Cleveland and Detroit? What are they going to do? I have been unable to obtain an answer (o that question. As to the $2,400,000. if that Is the enact sum, which Baltimore is to obtain as its share of the State's State road fund from Federal iources and as its part of the $4,000,000 fjtate road debentures, I am in as tnuch doubt about the conditions surrounding the spending of that money. Property Acquisition Proposed "I want to know whether any part that money can be used for acquiring property; that is, rights of way.

This is involved in the plans for through highway in Baltimore. I have asked Brooke Lee repeatedly, but I have not been able to obtain a definite answer from him on that, fc'hy do I inquire of Brooke Lee? Because he represents the State Roads Commission and the Federal roads authorities do not recognize municipalities." Mayor Jackson made it clear that the original $16,000,000 public works program of last June had been cut pown Decause ot various elements in the situation and that the latest move tl the city was to submit to the Fed eral Public Workj Committee for Maryland, of which W. C. Stettinius is fchairman, a program for public works which it now wishes to do, and in connection with which it seeks the grant Of thirty per cent It is not seeking oy Federal loan at all now. "Before we submitted the program to the Federal Public Works Committee," said the Mayor, "we tried to obtain from the Federal Government a (rant of thirty per cent, on work which we then had under contract.

We did get an answer on that. They aid they would not make the grant Bn that because it was not being done tinder the conditions laid down by the federal Government bearing on the thirty per cent grant Doesn't Know Sum "I do not carry in my mind Ihe exact sum involved in the program Submitted to the committee about two Weeks ago. But we have htard nothing about that "Understand, I am not criticizing anyone. I am merely stating the facts and my experience in this matter." This situation is in spite of the fart that Baltimore is in much better strategic situation than are many other Cities and states trying to borrow from the Federal Government Many yf these, has been pointed out, have exhausted their borrowing capacities and, could not borrow under the Fed- Krai public works plan without enabling acts from their Legislatures.

Benjamin H. Brewster, who i.i acting president of the company, said that the application for membership in the Federal Reserve System had the unqualified approval of the Richmond Reserve Bank, but that the matter had lain before the board in Washington for nearly three weeks and no explanation had been given for the lack of action. "Approved May 29" "Our reorganization scheme was approved by the State Bank Commissioner as long ago as last May 29," said Mr. Brewster today when he was questioned about the matter. ''It received the approval of depositors Bnd stockholders on June 29.

"The passage of the Glass-Steagall bill, under which membership in the Federal Reserve System became practically an obligation, made it necessary for us to set up a subsidiary to take over some of our mortgage loans. We received the advice and assistance of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in making this nrrangement. Actually our net debt to that institution today is approximately for which they hold our collateral. "Our Plan Commended" "We applied for membership in the system and the examination looking to that outcome began on July 11 and was completed early in August. On September 4 we were notified that the Federal Reserve Bank at Richmond had approved our application.

Governor Seay and his associates were highly commendatory of our plan and they told us on September 7 that they had forwarded their approval to the Federal Reserve Board at Washington. Since then we have been waiting the final word but none has come." "Have you any idea why the Reserve Board has taken so long to reach a decision," Mr. Brewster was asked. Was Promised Action "We have received no intimation one way or the other as to the outcome," he replied. "About a week after the application and recommendation had len forwarded from Richmond I went over to Washington accompanied by a group of representative Baltimore bankers and business men who joined with me in asking that the matter, for obvious reasons, might be decided promptly.

We were assured that it would be, but so far nothing has been heard." Mr. Brewster said that all the conditions set forth by the Richmond bank had been strictly complied with and that an outstanding banker was ready to take over the presidency of the institution as soon as the application was granted.

John Cooney, commander of the SLUM ELIMINATION PLAN STUDIED HERE Committee Named To Make Survey Of Its Possibilities Study of slum rehabilitation and of low-rental apartment house possibilities has begun in Baltimore at the suggestion of C. D. Loomis, architect, and Abel Wolman, engineer of Federal public works. A committee which will report in thirty days as to how the ideas can be applied in Baltimore has been formed. It includes representatives of the following organizations: The Engi neers' Club, the Baltimore Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Buildings Congress ot Baltimore.

Prepared To Make Loam Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior and Administrator of Federal Public Works, has made it clear that the Federal authorities are prepared to lend money to limited dividend corporations for such enterprises, the loans to be paid back in thirty-five years. Mr. Loomis has been interested in the problem for several years. Taking it up with Mr.

Wolman, whose duties require him to pass on public works for which Federal aid is sought, Mr. Wolman suggested that a committee be formed to find exactly how conditions in Baltimore fit into the Federal plan. I have suggested." said Mr. Wolman, "that, since there has been considerable discussion along these lines, we undertake a study to determine whether areas of low tax yield can be treated in such manner as to make them yield more return, if so, where they are located, and also to deter mine whether apartment houses can be constructed, the apartments of which could be rented at what has been referred to as low rentals. I should like to see the thought here crystallized." Later Stage "Docs your plan involve the erection of limited dividend corporations which are provided for in the Federal plans for lending and which would raze such areas and build such apartments?" Mr.

Wolman was asked. "I imagine that belongs to a later stage of the matter." he answered. "My interest is in accumulating more exact knowledge as to what the situa tion is in Baltimore." Mr. Wolman has asked G. J.

Requardt, president of the Engineers' Club, to appoint a committee and he has named the following: w. W. tm- mart, W. G. Nolting.

Lucius R. White, E. J. Dent, Joseph W. Shirley, H.

Clay Primrose, E. B. Passano and C. W. Perkins.

Like Committees The other organizations are expected to name like committees. Several meetings had been held to discuss the program.

LOCKE GARDEN SEIZURE OF CHILD ADMITTED BY FATHER Abraham Givncr's Counsel Denies Parent Took Son By Force Although admitting through his at torney that he had seized and carried away his 8-year-old son last May vhile he was under a court order not to attempt to seize the boy, Abraham Giv- ner today pleaded not guilty to a charge of kidnapping and abducting his son and went cn trial before a jury under Judge George A. Solter in the Criminal Court.

Givner's attorney, Ellis Levin, told the jurors that thcie would be no denial that Givncr tunk the child, although he denied that the boy was curried away as the mother had related and prosecuting officers contended before the jury. The former Mrs. Givner, who has remarried since obtaining a divorce from Givner and who now is Mrs. Bessie Wachs, of Washington, entered the kidnapping charge last May, saying her former husband seized the boy while she was walking on the street with him and carried the child off in an automobile. Warned By Court When the warrant for Givner's ar rest was sought, some question was raised concerning the possibility of charging a father with kidnapping his own son.

However, it was pointed out that Judge Eugene O'Dunne last January had granted the mother exclusive custody of the boy and forbade the father to again attempt to seize the child under pain Tjf punishment for contempt of court Arrested Last Month Givner was arrested early last month. His son revealed that since May he and his father had traveled as.far west as Texas and had visited many Western States. According to testimony heard before Judge O'Dunne early this year, Giv ner had seized his son from the mother on several earlier occasions and had taken the child to Cuba and other countries.

Postscript What's New About Last Month's News: One month ago heavy demands were being made by the needy on the Baltimore Chapter of the American Red Cross, 202 Guilford avenue, for cotton goods and flour. The supply became exhausted and the Government was appealed to again to send on more flour and goods. In addition to giving the poor 14.793.000 pounds of flour, valued at $235,960, and 448.287 yards of cotton goods, valued at $167,316, the local chapter also has distributed through their members and local relief agencies 275,148 garments for men, women and children: 10.000 yards of bed sheeting. 9.000 blankets and 3,100 comforts thus far this year.

Today Miss Christine T. Limbert, executive director, announced that the Government has promised to ship by November 200.000 more yards of cotton goods, 8,000 blankets and 300,000 pieces of ready-made wearing apparel. Officials in Washington declared that all the flour originally set aside by the Government for distribution through the Red Croiis had been used. Miss Limbert hoped the new shipment would arrive before the wintry blasts set in. The supplies donated to the needy would have cost the city and relief agencies approximately it v.as pointed out.

Mongold, 18 years old, declined today to make any statement and was remanded to jail while Judge Robert F. Stanton holds sentence under consideration. The boy, who ran away from the Maryland Training School several months ago, entered twelve houses in the Northwestern section of the city during a twelve-day period which ended with his arrest on September 10, it was testified. Watchet And Pistol Found Patrolmen Anthony Staylor and Otto Urban had found the youth walking along a street in the Ashburton section late at night and when he gave an address which they knew to be fictitious when they questioned him the officers investigated further and found he was carrying several watches and a pistol, which had been stolen earlier that night from the homes of Dr.

Leonard Parker, 3300 block Dorchester road, and Brnard Feit, 3700 block Ellamont road. The youth, who was described in a medical report as having subnormal intelligence, later told police where he had hidden other articles stolen from the homes he had entered in two caches in widely separated parts of the city. Some of the articles were buried in a hiding place in a woods near Ellamont and otherJ were burieH in a tin box in a woods near Carney. Young Mongold led the police officers to the hiding places, where the buried articles were recovered. 20-Year Sentence Poitible In sending the boy back to his cell while the sentence was under consideration, Judge Stanton told Mongold that the seven charges agaiast him all consisted of burglary at night and could result in a twenty-year sentence in each case.

The judge added: "And yet you'll take a chance on flouting the law and try to eke out some sort of existence on the theory the world owes you a living." Telli Of Head Injury Due to a letter received from the boy's mother, who lives near Cumberland, Mongold was examined by Dr. Manfred S. Guttmacher, court psychiatrist. The mother had written that her son was struck on the head by an au tomobile when he was 10 years old, and that she had been told the accident had caused a growth which might have affected his mentality. The psychiatrist reported, however, that the head injury did not seem to have any connection with Mongold's delinquency.

The youth was charged rob' bing the home of Mrs. Alice Fergu son in the 3600 block Rosedale street and taking a wrist watch and food on August 29; with taking 73 cents and a pack of cigarettes from the home of Mrs. Oscarine Maymon in the 2500 block Garrison Boulevard while she and her husband were asleep on Sep tember and on the same night en ler, pictutd in the garden of her home at -100 North Bouldin street, carried off first prize in the class for large city gardens. Both will receive silver flower vases, given by The Evening Sun for the best entries.
