The World at a Glance Central Pres Stsff Writer NEW A ORk One trade lags building. Construction remains at a low ebb. Virtually all construction m governmental or by aid of federal funds. .Not much hope is held for private construction this year. of buildings Nor is it overproduction that causes the lag. Dwellings, tenements, tore buildings are, in many instances, in a deplorable state, deleterious to the health of their occupant. ... But owner e cannot raise funds to build or to rebuild property An imis nearly confiscated by taxation. an instant liability. provement becomes - Such is the topsy-turv- y condition of !93i request of State Auditor Julius C. for $3JW0 to complete the audit f the office of Secretary of Slate Milton H. Welling it receiving careful consideration by the stats boardot axaminera.ft There may be two reasons for not acceding immediately to Jt. One is that Secretary Welling, in possession of the auditor's report showing a shortage of approximately $3o00, may lie able to clear up to the complete satisfaction of Governor Blood. Attorney General Chez. and; the other member of the board, what he acTtie secknowledges ara ugly implications. ond is the uncertainty as to the proper funds - from which the $5000 should he taken. It seems improbable that the first reason hould eause serious delay. Secretary Welling tales that he has money in the vault that was not taken into consideration by the auditors, hut he admitted that he could not THE bei-au- k taxation. In Greater New York the largest sum being spent $l5,(00,(W0 is for postoffice construction. . Mum clearance possibilities, with federal funds, total nearly another $.000,uu0. Alterations to old structures make up virtually all the remaining expenditures. -- Somg of these alterations are forced by law,Another Complaint American correspondents in Germany have still another complaint their telephones re lapped by the Nazis. Since, however, that is true of all German telephones (according to reports). Americans cannot say they are discriminated against. But persons who give them news may find themselves in segregation camps or in prisons. Most Popular The most popular actress on Broadway this year is Helen Hayes. She is one of (be few actresses who successfully negotiates transitions between the stage and the films and back. Katharine Hepburn has not been so suc, cessful on the Broadway end. She. however, is taking her stage setback like a good sport. Helen Hayes is in Maxwell Anderson's Mary of Scotland, produced by the Theater Guild. It is a consistent sellout. Katharine is in The Lake, Hepburn produced by Jed Barns. Hollywood is beckoning to Ilelen Hayes to return to anpear in a film version of Sir James Barrie's Wliat Every Woman Knows." Miss Hayes acted in this on the stage as did Maude Adams long before heft.-- . Mis Hayes, while acting in New York lives up in the country. at. Nvack. N. quite a distance up the other side of the Hudson river. There she and her husband, Charles Mac.Artbur. successful playwright, and her young daughter, live m an old house and the neighbors call Mi- -. Haves Mary. ' Mary motors to .town each day to act' a tragic queen. Those Who Travel Travel abroad from the United States dropped 30 per cent last year, according to passport offieia's. But what i more, the .drop will be ever greater this year, expected due to the. lower purctuv-in- g power of the dollar. ho travels abroad? Hourwives led. it per fcent of Uic passport applications in 1933. Persons with po occupations, students and teachers followed next in order. Laborers far outranked bankers and brokers, who were only slightly ahead of farmers and ranchers. HrCooey lammanv certamlv is going the way of all flesh. Even Nature stepped in. taking away Boss John H. McCooey of Brooklyn. Most of d the papers over him. As a matter of fact, he was an old-tiboss, agginst whom the people had turned with a vengeance. As the old Taminanv men die. there will be none to take their place. The revolt rose among the youth of their own ranks youth who no longer could tolerate the smug immorality. lamnjanr. however, will remain. It will be made- - pverr-f- or Big Business demands a bulwark Against the tides. In short, Taminanv never will lack for funds. Progressives wiil. ignore tome serious accounting problems dealt with in the report." As the auditor's document contains fifty-si- x pages, it is not likely that the board of examiners, of which Secretary Welling is n member, would be satisfied without n more extensive examination, after the integrity of the office has been pat in question. The second reason for delay, that of funds,' should be resolved at as early a date as possible and a thorough audit Instituted. This uggestion in no sense promotes the suspicion already raised. Mr. Welling has a host of friends and as far as we know few if any enemies. Those who know him are desirous of seeing not only hfs good name as an honest type-writt- en man, but his reputation, as an administrator "of a public office entirety cleared. of citizens, however, independent friendship, feel that every public office that handles 'funds should be like Caesar's wife. Pompeia, clear even of suspicion " The public is entitled to have every ugly implication . cleared or confirmed decisively without delay.

Expelled from the country of his exile w ith-opassports, subject to extradition from any country that has such treaty with the United States, he niav become, like the fanciful figure of Philip Xolan in Edward Everett Hale's Man Without a Country, the most pitiful figure in the world.
