4 % D. . AID FORESEEN - AT SHORT SESSION $40,000,000 Appropriation Bill Pending, in Addition to Other Measures. Besides the District appropriation il! calling for approximately $40,000,- 000 in support of all activities of the municipal administration of the Na- tional Capital, many other important measures for Capital development and for improvement of the local govern- ment are promised early consideration at the short session of Congress, which opens tomorrow, by leaders in both House and Senate. . Senator Capper, chairman of the Senate District committee; Representa- tive Zihlman, chairman of the House District committee, and Chairman Gib- son of the special subcommittee which has been making an _economy-efficiency survey of the municipal government, with the co-operation of the Bureau of Efficiency, all emphasize as of major importance the proposed consolidation of the street railway lines in the Dis- trict. The merger resolution was reported favorably in the closing days of the last session and is on the House calendar awaiting action. It is also to be taken up within a few days by the special sub- committee studying it for the Senate District committee. Fiscal Report Due. Fiscal relations between the Federal Treasury and the District taxpayers is another otustanding subject of legis- Jation on which a report will be made by the Bureau of Efficiency at the request of Senator Phipps and Representative Simmons, chairmen, respectively, of the Senate and House subcommittees on the District budget. Representative Gibson has placed fiscal relations second to the street railway merger as im- portant District legislation to receive first attention in the coming short session. 3 3 The bill to establish a municipal air- port adjacent to Washington is prom- jsed early enactment by both Senats and House leaders, all of whom favor the Gravelly Point site. “The Capital of the Nation should have an airport so situated and ‘equipped as to furnish proper and ade- quate facilities for air service of all kinds—mail, passenger and commercial. We should be directly linked by air with all' the other progressive cities of the Nation,” said Senator Capper. Chairman Gibson of the House sub- committee, and Representative Lampert, chairman of the subcommittee on parks, which has had the airport bills before it for consideration, last week made a personal survey of several sites proposed. = The farmers’ market legislation will (Continued From First Page.) Acquisition of the land after congres- sional authorization of the project, they believe, will take a year or longer, and it is regarded as doubtful if the first building in the proposed new group can be completed before the Federal Government takes possession of the en- tire Avenue-Mall area. While a large portion of the area de- sired for the municipal center prob- ably would not be used for 10 or per- haps 20 years after its purchase, the Commissioners -point out that by leas- ing the unoccupled property a return could be derived that would more than offset the taxes and carrying charges on the $9,000,000 loan. Schedule Is Restricted. Aside from the civic center project, the legislative calendar of the Commis- sioners includes few other proposed new picces of legislation. The Commis- cioners are under the impression that it would be useless to prepare an am- bitious program of legislation, though it be desirable, in view of the shortness of the session of Congress which con- venes tomorrow, and for this reason they have restricted the schedule and propose to concentrate their efforts on the more important measures pending in_the Senate and House. Bills giving the Police Department additional authority to enforce the gambling, vagrancy and prohibition laws; an amendment to the Borland act to relieve abutting property owners of assessments for street repairs and modification of the obsolete license tax law are the only measures definitely placed on the calendar of the Commis- sioners for introduction in Congress at the short session. The legislation already pending, which is to be pushed most vigorously, in- cludes bills providing for the estab- lishment of a municipal airport at Gravelly Point, creation of a new Farmers’ Produce Market in Southwe:t Washington and authorizing the Com- missioners to settle suits against the District under $5,000. Other measures, which the Commissioners regard as im- portant and deserving of consideration, provide for an additional judge in ‘the District Supreme Court to handle con- demnation cases and authorizing the use of Federal-owned land for street purposes. - The latter, it was explained, would permit the widening and exten- FIKED RATIO PLAN 1S URGED FORD.

The bill providing for establishment of the market on the Southwest site near the river front passed the House at the last session, and is on the Senate calen- dar, Opposition by a number of Sena- tors who believe the market should go somewhere north of Pennsylvania ave- nue caused the measure to remain un- finished when the last session ended. Senator Capper yesterday reiterated his belief that the Southwest site would not be a sansfaclm.r‘a'j one.

Senator Capper said he would seek to substitute a bill designating what he would regard as a more appropriate site, or leaving the selection to a dis- interested group of experts. The five-year Public Library expan- sion bill to give library facilities con- venient to all homes, offices and schools in the District, as provided for in the organic act, will be introduced prompt- ly by Senator Capper and by Repre- sentative Gibson in the House. Chairman Gibson of the Hcuse sub- committee has stated that he will urge | a bill being drafted by a commission representing the District: government and the Bureau of Efficiéncy to bring the licensing system of the District up to date. He also promised remedial legislation on the assessment and tax- ation system in the District. Bills Passing Both Houses. The following bills have passed the Senate, been reported by the House District committee .and, are on the calendar awaiting action: Auto driver’s permits free for enlisted men. Relief of J. W.

CANTERBURY, England, December 1—This ancient cathedral town, the goal of Chaucer's pilgrims, today ex- tended a civic welcome to Archbishop Lang, the new primate of all England, He arrived by motor car from London and by this modern method of trans- portation passed under the hoary west gate tower into the city where he will be enthroned on Tuesday. Crowds of country people joined the Sum Appropriations. During the short sesslon of Congress which begins tomorrow local trade and civic organizations will continue their efforts for abandonment of the lump sum plan of Federal contributions to- ward the upkeep and development of the National Capital and for restora- tion of the policy of a fixed ratio be- tween local and Federal uppmrflnfiom, spokesmen for the organizations de- clared last night. The ultimate answer to the problem of providing for the ever-growing list of needed and urgent public improve- ments, it was contended, lies in return to the principle of fixed proportion ¢m- bodied in the organic law which wgul allow more generous contributions the Federal Government than the $9,- 000,000 lump sum. Reduction of Ratio Cited. Edward F. Colladay, chairman of the citizens’ joint committee on fiscal re- lations, emphasized last night that the $9,000,000 lump Federal appropriation, which amounted to about 33 per cent of the total local budget when instituted four years ago, had dwindled to about 227 per cent of the budget for the cur~ Tent year. This gradual reduction of the pro- portion of the cost of the National Capi- tal borne by the Federal Government, he said, is wrong, but illustrates point- edly the justice of the movement of local taxpayers for a return to the fixed ratio between Federal and District ap~ propriations. While concerned about the growing list of needed Capital improvements for the District, the cost of which runs into millions of dollars, the three major local trade organizations, following, con- sideration of the proposed budget for the next fiscal year, have recommended to the District Commissioners that the present tax rate of $1.70 on real estate be continued for another year. Warn- ings were voiced that an increase in taxes might result in serious economic harm to the District. ‘The Board of Trade and the Wash- ington Chamber of Commerce in re- ports to the city heads on the budget pointed out that local taxpayers are willing to bear their full share of the cost of maintenance of the National Capital, and are doing so, and that the local tax burden was comparable to that of cities of similar size. “Every record and every comparison indicate that the people of the Dis- trict have assumed a fair tax burden, which, if increased, would bring serious economic difficulties on the city,” the Board of Trade declared in its recom- mendations to the Commissioners. The statement was made on the basis of the national tax survey conducted by the board, which indicated that Wash- ington stands second in a list of the larger citfes of the country in the amount of per capita assessment. Merchants Favor Return, The chamber adopted a report stat- ing that “Washington taxpayers are carrying their full responsibility in the payment of municipal activities of pri- marily local import, and, in addition, they also are bearing the expense on large part of the many local undertak- ings which are primarily Federal in character.” Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, president of the Merchants' and Manufacturers’ Association, stated last night that his association would continue its part in the movement for a return to the fixed ratio between Federal and local contri~ butions to the local budget and voiced opposition to any increase in local taxes. The Board of Trade in its report on the budget urged the Commissionerz to continue a vigorous fight for an equit- able Federal appropriationi toward the development of the National Capital.: It also voiced & protest against the| practice of predicating the budget for the 1930 fiscal year on the basis of a Federal contribution of but $9,000,000: ‘The trade body recommended a bud- get for the next fiscal year totaling $41,- 288,000, This was predicated upon a contribution of the $1.70 tax rate and an expected Federal appropriation amounting to $10,788,000, or 81,788,000 more than the lump sum provided from national revenues in the past several years, it was pointed out. Improvements Not Provided For. This budget figure, however, it is ex- plained, would not make provision for! many major public improvements held ' to be urgently needed. The official bud- get, as it now stands, is reported to total slightly less than $40,000,000. “The Board of Trade is impressed with the great municipal needs gradual- ly being stacked up year by year through insufficient appropriations,” W. W. Everett, president of the organiza- tion, declared. The board, he said, would continue to gather tax and assessment townsfolk who lined the route to Guild- hall, where Dr. Lang was welcomed by the Mayor. In presenting an address of welcome contained in an oaken case, the mayor referred to the frienship be- iween the ecclesiastical authorities [33d statistics from cities over the country to keep the survey material up to date THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

FOR CIVIC CENTER TO BE ASKED sion of South Dakota avenue through the reservation of the National Train- ing School for Boys, the widening of Reservoir road in the vicinity of Forty- fourth street, the opening of the in- tersection of Fourth and Trenton streets southeast, now in the farm of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, and construc- tion of a sidewalk along Wisconsin ave- nue in front of Mount Alto Hospital. Two New Incinerators Asked. Another bill prepared by the engi- neering department of the District will be sent to Congress, however, and every effort made to have it passed at the short session. This provides for the establishment of two combustible refuse incinerators, one to be located at the foot of Twelfth street southeast and the other at the foot of Thirty-fourth street northwest. This project also in- volves the construction of a new road from the south end of Anacostia Bridge to Blue Plains, where the residue from the incinerators would be carried and dumped. The cost is estimated at $750.000. The Commissioners also will continue their campaign initiated at the last session of Congress for a more equitable policy of fiscal relations between the Federal and municipal governmants, At the very outset of the last session the Commissioners made an emphatic plea for restoration of the 60-40 basis and urged that the appropriations for the current fiscal year be provided nn that ratio insead of the $9,000,000 lump sum contribution, which is contrary to sub- stantive law. Stress was laid at that time, too, on the ever-increasing budget of the munieipality which has to be met with- out additional aid from Federal revenue, and this condition is particularly strik- ing at this time in connection with the expensive projects awaiting congress- jonal approval, such as the proposed civic center, the airport and the farm- ers’ market. The District’s budget for the coming fiscal year, now ready for submission to Congress, had been held down by the bureau to a figure slightly under $40,000,000, although the departmental heads of the municipal government had asked for appropriations to meet existing needs nearly $7,000,000 in ex- cess of that amount. This budget is predicated on continuance of the ex- isting tax rate of $1.70 and a $9,000,000 contribution by the Federal Govern- ment. Board of Trade meeting December 12, which will be devoted entirely to fiscal questions, Federal Government officials having to do with fiscal problems have been invited to speak on phases of the subject at that time, MOTOR CYCLIST HURT IN CRASH WITH AUTO Maryland Farmhand Injured Per- haps Fatally—Motorist Held in $500 Bond. Dallas Crotts, a farmhand of near Four Corners, Md., was injured perhaps fatally yesterday afternoon when his motor cycle left Sligo avenue near Sil- ver Spring and hurtled over a 25-foot embankment at Sligo Bridge. Gilbert O. Rhime of Hyattsville, Md., said by Montgomery County suthorities to have driven an automobile which figured in the accident, gave $500 bond in the case, Crotts was taken to Washington Sanitarium, where he regained con- sclousness shortly before midnight, but has yet to give his version of the ac- cident. Crotts was said by witnesses to have met Rhime’s machine head-on, his mo- tor cycle glancing from the approach- ing automobile or leaving the road after too closely crowding the outer curb, Rhime stopped his automobile and rendered assistance to the injured man before he was taken to the hos- pital by a passing motorist. The motor cycle is said to have rolled 60 yards across an adjoining fleld be- fore plunging over the embankment. Physiclans at Washington Sanitarium late last night held out some hope for Crott's recovery. . JOHN CARBERRY’S PLANE IS OVERDUE AT LISBON Baron Missing on Way From Spain as Link in Flight to South African Plantation. By the Assoclated Press. LISBON, Portugal, December 1.—The airplane in which John Carberry was reported to have left Alicante, Spain, at 8:30 this morning had not arrived here this evening. Carberry is making a flight from Amsterdam to Kenya Colono, South Africa. John Carberry, as he calls himself, is Baron Carberry, an Irish peer. When he flew from Paris to Hendon in 1913 he was halled as the first peer to cross the English Channel. In addition to his coffee interests in Kenya, he is sald to have operated a farm in California and to have applied for American citi- zenship. His second wife, who was Maia Ander- son, was killed last march at Nairobi, Kenya, while giving a student a prac- tice flight. Carberry saw. the accident from the airdrome.

By the Associated Press. Investigations—new and old—promise to draw their share of congressional attention during the approaching short session, with the Senate again taking the lead in this activity. The first week will see three old in- quiries résumed by the Senate, those into the Salt Creek oil fields leases in Wyoming, disposition of Federal pa- tronage and the inquiry into expendi- tures in the presidential campaign. Some new inquiries also are looming. Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, who initiated the original investigation of the Governent's oil leases, is pre- pared to ask for a hearing on the ac- tion of Hubert Work in granting to Harry Sinclair a renewal of the Salt Creek lease. After Mr, Work resigned as Secretary of the Interfor to become chairman of the Republican national committee, the Department of Justice declared the lease vold. Final Reports Awaited. Final reports apparently are not in sight on any of the pending investiga- tions. The special committee studying campaign expenditures is awaiting the filing of final reports by the national committees before resyming work. Senator Brookhart of Iowa. chairman of the committee probing the disposi- tion of Federal patronage, is prepared to go into additional Southern States. His committee already has held hear- ings on conditions in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Mississippl. Senator Nye of North Dakota, chair- man of the public lands committee, ex- pects to call his workers together this weeks to consider reports of special in- vestigators who have spent the Sum- mer collecting data on the leases of the Salt Creek fields. Hearings probably will be held. Senator Walsh is golng to ask -the judiciary committee to make an early report on his resoluton proposing in- vestigation of the Government's rela- tions with the motion picture industry and what action it has taken, if any, in regard to charges of trust law viola- tions. Vare Contest on Calendar. Hanging over from last session is the contest of William B. Wilson, Demo- crat, for the seat of Senator-elect Wil- liam 8. Vare of Pennsylvania. The elec- tlons subcommittee, headed by Senator Waterman of Colorado, is preparing further exhaustive inquiries into this case, and a report Is still awaited from the special committee which investi- gated the 1926 senatorial election and charged excessive expenditures by Mr. Vare in his primary campaign that ear. i4 An early report is expected from the joint _congressional committee which” has been reviewing the land grants to the Northern Facific Rail- road. Two of the long drawn out investi- gations of last session appear closed— those into cotton trading and into conditfons in the bituminous coal fields. Legislation based on these studies, which included weeks of public hear- ings, are now before Congress. o KENTUCKY U. DECREES “NON-DRINKING” RULE Men's Student Council Publishes Resolutions Governing Action of Student Body. Special Dispatch to The Star. LEXINGTON, Ky., December 1.—The University of Kentucky campus is going dry if the men's student council, most Fowerlul student body, does not fail in ts efforts. The Kentucky Kernel, stu- dent publication at the University of Kentucky, in an extra edition distrib~ uted today, published resolutions of the men's student council decreeing that any student who is under the influence of intoxicating * liguors at university social functions will be liable to reprimand, suspension or expulsion. The resolutions declare that a court has been established to try all students charged with violation of the United States prohibition act, and an appeal from the rllllnfl of the court may be taken only to the university senate, the faculty governing body of the in- stitution. The present action of the council will be heartily supported by university authorities, who have been at a loss to find methods of enforcing the “no-drinking rule.” o ‘The customs service of the Treasury Department has designated Renton Airport at Renton, Wash., as an “air- port of entry.”” The airport will re- place the one originally designated as an “airport of entry” at Bryn Mawr Fleld, Seattle, Wash.

Senator Moses of New Hampshire, Republican, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, who. arrived in Washington yesterday, suggested that the treaty renouncing war should be given every thorough consideration and should not be rushed through. The New Hampshire Senator is another of those who would avoid a special session in _the Spring if possible. Enactment of the bill for the reap- portionment of the House, in accord- ance with the last census, probably will be pressed in the House, Speaker Long- worth indicated yesterday. This meas- ure failed to receive a majority in the last session, but the indications today are that it can pass, it was sald. For the first time since Fairbanks was elected Vice President to serve with President Roosevelt, a member of the Senate has been chosen Vice President. Senator Curtis, the Vice President- elect, will receive a warm welcome from his colleagues when they assem- ble for the opening session tomorrow, it is expected. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic nominee for Vice President on the ticket with ' Gov. Smith and Democratic leader of the Senate, also will be on hand for the opening session. In the Senate both Republicans and Democrats have a couple of Sen- ators who refused to support their na- tional tickets in the recent campaign. On the Republican side are Senators Norris of Nebraska and Blaine of Wis- | consin, who came out openly for Smith. The two Democratic Senators who fought the election of Gov. Smith are Senators Simmons of North Carolina and Heflin of Alabama. The indica- tions are, however, that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats will seek to discipline their recalcitrants. There are prospects of a real fight over the Republican leadership of the Senate after Senator Curtis shall have retired. Senator Watson of Indiana, who has been assistant to Senator Curtis, is out for the job and according to reports has already much support pledged to him. But Senator Jones of Washington, Republican whip, who is senior to Senator Watson in point of service in the Senate, has returned to Washington with no intention of be- sng passed over. The Washington Senator will have no little support for the place, and if seniority prevails, is likely to land it. If the Senate Republicans get into a snarl over the selection of a leader, it was predicted last night by one well in- formed Senator that it might be neces- sary to fall back on the old rule, which was that the Republican Senator of longest service be leader. Senator War- ren of Wyoming is the senior Repub- lican Senator. He has indicated that he does not want the lead:rship. In- deed, Senator Warren stood aside after the death of Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, so that Senator Curtis might be picked for leader. FREIGHTER IS ABANDONED AS DERELICT IN PACIFIC Crew of 40 Men Removed by Pe:- cue Ship After Gale Makes Towing Dangerous. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, Wash,, December 1.—A helpless derelict, the 9,500-ton Cana- dian-American Shipping Co.’s freighter, Chief Maquilla, was abandoned in the Northern Pacific Ocean today when a gale made hazardous an effort by the Japanese steamer Yogen Maru to tow the distressed vessel to Dutch Harbor, Alasgka, 380 miles away. The crew of 40 men was taken off shortly after 2 am. Unless the weather moderates and the Chief Maquilla can be salvaged, it will represent a loss of $1,000,000. The Chief Maquilla sent out her first distress calls early Thursday. Several rescue ships headed for the scene im- mediately. Mountainous seas and a heavy gale made the transfer of the crew perilous today. Pumps had been inadequate to clear the water-logged holds ‘and the ship settled gradually into a more dangerous position. - Capt. E. K.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Decem- ber 1.—Five hundred physicians and lawyers without clients have been given jobs here as street car conductors. They came mostly from former Hun- garian territory which now is attached to Rumania, Jugasla- via or Czechoslovakia. The regular conductors, whose places were taken by the profes- sional men, have been transferred to farms which the government granted to them on a system of installment payment. The wholesale exodus of doc- tors and lawyers from former Hungarian provinces gave this country far too many of those classes of professional men. They were unable to find work in competition with the 100,000 other unemployed of the country and had been living on govern- ment doles. DOLORES COSTELLO HIT BY INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC | Special Dispatch to The Star. LOS ANGELES, Calif., December 1.— Dolores Costello, who became Mrs. John Barrymore a week ago today, is Holly- wood’s latest celebrity to be attacked by the influenza epidemic. It was an- nounced today that she has been forced to stop production of a new film. She is under care of nurses at her home. Myra Loy was another Hollywood actress who fell victim to the epidemic. The peak of the epidemic has passed, according to the Health Department. Cases to date total 3,717. It is esti- mated that at least five times this num- ber are afflicted with the malady, since only severe cases are officially reported to the department. Demand for nurses exceeds the sup- ply, the department said. The epidemic b6 ARE ARRESTED INGAMING RAIDS First and Sixth Precinct Po- lice Pay Visits to Four Establishments. Police of the first and sixth precincts yesterday and last night raided four places where they say gambling was in | progress, arresting 68 persons. A visit of tane 1200 block of E street netted the most prisoners. James Ed- ward Miller, 22 years old, was charged with permitting gaming and 42 other men found in the place were booked for disorderly conduct. Miller was released upon posting of $50 collateral. The others were required to leave $5 each at the station house, but 12 of them |could not raise the money and were | compelled to spend the night in cells. Jake Caplon, 44 years old, was ar- rested in the 900 block of Ninth street and charged with permitting gaming. He was released under $50 collateral. Four patrons of the place were charged with disorderly conduct. Two raids yesterday afternoon netted 17 arrests. The first place was in the 500 block of Twelfth street, where Joseph A. Sullivan, 29 years old, was arrested on a charge of permitting gam- ing. Fifteen other persons were booked for disorderly conduct. The second raid was in the 800 block of Tenth street. Willlam B.
