: INEW FISCAL PLAN 1/ OFFERED CITIZENS «Council to Reconsider 60-40 Indorsement Pending Study of Lump-Sum Solution. A new solution of the vexing problem of fiscal relations between the Fed- eral and District Governments was sug- gested to the Citizens' Advisory Council last night and as a result, the council decided to reconsider its former action | indorsing a return to the 60-40 divl- sion of municipal expenses. The suggestion, made by Henry K. Bush-Brown, chairman of a subcom- mittee of the fiscal relations committee of the Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions, which met in joint session with the council, proposed that a tax limit, Tepresenting all that the District prop- erty owners can afford to pay, be fixed as the lump sum in the local budget each year, the contribution of th I'ed- eral Government to be the variable t:umcm necessary to make up the budget's Probe Group Urged. Mr. Bush-Brown said that members ©f Congress seem to be opposed to a definite ratio, and that some other | gehn of fiscal relations would have to worked out. Creation of a com- inittee composed of the chairmen of | the Senate and House appropriations | and District committees, Brig. Gen. | Herbert M. Lord, director of the Budget | Bureau, a District Commissioner and a | Tesident of the District was proposed | %o study the question. The council reaffirmed its former action indorsing a mideity location for | the ers’ Produce Market. Col. Henry C. Newcomer dissented and supported the proposed Southwest site. He quoted Maj. W. E. R. Covell, senior Assistant Engineer Commissioner, who studied the market problem, as saying that the midcity site is the only one | that has nothing to commend it. Police Measure Favored. | The bill designed to give the Wom- an's Bureau of the Police Department statutory status was approved, with certain amendments proposing that the director be given the rank of an inspector instead of an assistant su- perintendent: that the promotions in the bureau be on the same civil service | terms as those for the male members of the Police Department, and strik- ing out & fixed number of personnel.

Three essays comprised the fnitial group of manuscripts entered as con- tenders for the three prizes aggregating $100 which have been offered by the committee. They were written by con- testants in three sections of the Dis- trict—Northwest, Northeast and South- east—and, as though reflecting last year's contest, they were entered in the Ccompetition just two days after the an- nouncement was made through this newspaper. Treat Subject Differently. Although the three essays received were written about home ownership, each treats the subject in a different way. One, that entered by the North- east contestant, deals with the value of home ownership to the individual, and the writer, a woman, stresses the peace of mind which, she writes, only the se- curity of owning one’s own home can give. The essay entered from North- west Washington treats of the endow- ment which home ownership bestows upon the family, thereby contributing to the wholesome development of the community. The final manuscript of the initial group, that written by a resi- dent of Southeast Washington, advances the value of home owning to local and the National governments by promoting more responsible citizens. And so the essays will go until the Some will stress one point and others will embrace the whole scale of values in home ownership. Personal Struggles Related. Last year many writers told the per- sonal struggle which they, individually, encountered in purchasing their prop- erty, and while this sort of material is wholesome and often inspiring, it does not exactly adhere to the subject pre- scribed by the committee this year, “The Value of Home Ownership.” This is a contest that is easy to enter. If you are a resident of the District of Columbia, or Maryland, or Virginia, simply send your ‘essav to “The Home Ownership Essay Contest, care of The Star.” That is, send it in if it is not longer than 300 words and have it reach this office before e rises Whlch e p! which will be awarded are $50 for the best essay, $30 for the sec- ond best and $20 for the essay judged jl&i’rgdubes_!‘_ll:z ; figmpemt I:vmmuu-e of . udges announced later in the week. el PRESSMEN ELECT RYAN.

Col. Brown said that some retail business is done incidentally at the Farmers’ Market. He quoted from a report of the Fed- eral Trade Commission to support the argument that as much dravage as possible should be eliminated from the market business and that this could best be done by going to the Southwest. All of the arguments for a midcity site, Col. Brown continued, are basce on the assumption that “we are deal- ing with a retail market problem.” He then quoted from laws relating to establishment of the present market area to bear out his claim that the Farmers' Market between Tenth and Twelfth strects was intended to be and has operated primarily as a wholcsale place. B. A. Johnson, representing five granges in Fairfax County, Va. with an enrollment of 400 farmers, told the subcommittee that if he had a small qhu:nmy of goods to sell he comes to the retail market, and that when he has large quantitics he takes them to the Farmers' Wholesale Market.

HELD AS OFFICALS PLAN T0 PREVENT WAR SUBMITTED Mrs. Ben Hooper Addresses Convention—Editor Speaks. Outlawry of war by the United States, entry into the World Court and the making of aggressive warfare a crime, with drafting of all wealth in a war of defense, were high points in the best plan submitted by Mrs. Ben Hooper, once Democratic candidate for United States Senator from Wisconsin, to the third national conference on the cause and cure of war. in session to- OF ‘DIPLOMA MILLS' Minister and One Other Ar- rested Following Indict- ments Returned Here.

Conscious only at intervals, Miss Eliz- abeth Bowman, young scheol teacher of Silver Spring, Md., lain for nine injuries sustained a week ago Sunday when she was crushed under her horse as the mount stumbled and fell. Her case is baffling doctors, as it is suspected that the skull is fractured and a blood clot has formed. This con- dition prevents taking an X-ray picture, the usual procedure in such cases, be- cause it is feared that any movement of the patient would start the flow of blood, wash away the clot and perhaps cause a_fatal hemorrhage. For the first four days after her ac- cident, Miss Bowman was unconscious, but since then she has shown signs of a gradual mend and has intermittent spells in which she speaks, although usually in delirfum. There are lucid intervals in which she seems to recog- nize those around her, days in Sibley Hospital as @ result of | day at the Washington Hotel. e Mrs. Hooper was one of 400 “readers' who have been following a course of study outlined during the last year by a confercnce committee. Two-thirds of the contestants in- dorsed the Briand treaty proposal to outlaw war as_the next step for the United States, Mrs, Charles E. Simon- son of New York Cily, chairman of judges, announced. The contest, she explained, had closed prior to Secre- tary Kellogg's statement that the United States should not make a treaty with one nation, but with all the prin- cipal nations of the world. Alternations Stressed. Following the round-table discussion, presided over by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the seven participants in the forum agreed that wars may be reduced | by alternatives. John Bakeless, Yasso- clate editor of the Forum, added the explanation with his affirmative votf: that “there is no immediate prospect. Dr. James T. Shotwell, director of the division of economics and history of the Carncgle Institute for International Peace, opening the round-table discus- sion, said that he did not believe that war had the same meaning at all times in history. In his presentation, he ex- cluded defense from war. Dr. Philip Marshall Brown, professor of interna- tional law at Princeton University, as- I serted that there is altogether too much emotionalism in dealing with war. Mr. Bakeless, pointing out that it is difficult to define an offensive war, sald that from 1914 to 1918 “we had no offensive war,” but- had a lively time in Europe. The United States, he said, will never call a war an offensive one. Dr. Woolley Speaks. Carrying on the discussion, Dr. Mary | E. Woolley, president of Mount Holyoke | College, pointed out that war as an in- | stitution is legalized and that it is tion between aggressive and defensive warfare. Prof. Harry Elmer Barnes, professor of history and sociology at Smith Col- attitude was needed to get away from war, and insisted that “we must be un- conditional abolitionists.” Mrs. James W. Morrison, president of the Illinois League of Woman Voters, declared that from her experience as a mother of five children she did not think that prohibition of war would be effective. Any mother, she pointed out, knows that human beings do not live and training. Peace Plan Offered. | ‘The peace plan of Mrs. Hooper fol- lows: | "I believe that the first step for the | United States to take is to set its house in order. That we first put our- selves definitely on record, unequivocally for the outlawry of war as_a methid of settling international difficulties and for treaties of compul- sory arbitration with every country: that we join the World Court; that we revise our laws of neutrality, so that the United States will refuse to furnish arms, ammunition or supplies to any country that has broken its treaties by refusing to arbitrate or go into court !to settle its international difficulties, land that we secure an amendment to | the Constit; n _ratifying treaties of + peace by a majority vote of the Senate | and House. “There are innumerable causes of war, but I believe that at the bottom of them is the provincialism of all nations. Each country honestly, believes that its people are a little finer than those of any other country and that no other people appreciate them or put a proper value on their importance in the world.

To satisfy participating nations, he sald, the sense of power of each must be in- creased. One year's expenditure by the nations for military purposes would pay the League of Nations' budget for !SIH, dcentufles. Senor Madariaga de- clared. Dr. Mary E.

HOUSTON BEGINS WORK ON CONVENTION PROGRAM City Preparing to Build Hall for Delegates and Beautify Parks. By the Associated Press. HOUSTON, Tex., January 17.—Prepa- rations for Houston's reception of the Democratic national convention went forward with added impetus yesterday with an announcement by Mayor Oscar F. Holcombe that the city had under- taken plans for building a temporary auditorium to house the convention. The mayor said he would leave to- morrow for New York to confer with Jesse H. Jones, Houston capitalist, who headed the city's effort to bring the convention here, concerning the new structure which it is proposed to erect on city property acquired for a civic center. Mr. Jones is understood to have consulted New York architects about plans for the building, which will cost in _the neighborhood of $100,000. It was not definitely decided how the new auditorium would be financed. Civic leaders indicated, however, that a convention fund probably in the neigh- borhood of $300,000 or $400,000, would be raised by popular subscription. Work of beautifying Houston began yesterday. Clarence Brooks, superin- tendent of public parks, said approxi- mately $100,000 would be needed to plant flowers in the 32 parks here and in dressing the city for the convention. up all county road projects and com- plete them before June 26.
