WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. The United States Texas Centennial commission decided today just how the federal government will spend the $3,000,000 it has uted to Texas' observance of 100 years of independence. The largest allocation was for federal participation and cooperation in the central exposition at Dallas. To Erect Building In providing this allotment the commission said it "contemplates adequate federal representation by the various departments, establishments and agencies of the government, the erection of a building to house government exhibits and of administration." "The United States commission also desired that from this amount a suitable sum may be devoted to a distinctive recognition of the progress and development of the negro in America," a commission announcement recited.

Other Allotments Made The commission composed of Vice President Garner, Secretary Hull, Secretary Wallace and Secretary no comment on a statement made before them by Jesse Jones. Texas chairman of the Reconstruction Finance corporation in which he urged more emphasis in Texas history and less on putting on "a little bigger show." In addition to the $1,200,000 for the central exposition at Dallas the commission allocated $300,000 lor the Texas Memorial museum. $200,000 for the state Texas Centennial commission, $250,000 for the Southwestern Fat Stock show and exposition at Fort Worth and reserved $200,000 for contingencies. Commemorations Set For the commemoration of historic sites at San Jacinto and the Alamo the commission allocated $400,000 to each and $50,000 for commemoration of the historic site at Goliad. The commission explained the $300.000 for the museum was fixed by congress in the appropriating legislation.

The commission said "it has been the experience of the federal government in connection with participation in expositions involving an expenditure of a considerable sum of federal money that there are unfor- seen contingencies which inevitably I arise and therefore the sum of $200.000 has been tentatively set aside in this Instance to meet such contingencies."
