18 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., JANUARY: 13, 1929—PART 1. 100 T0 BE HEARD P Overtime Session Required to i Conclude Work on Glass- i ware ltems. By the Associated Press. By working overtime the House ways # and means committee considering tariff ? revision yesterday concluded hearings on the earthenware and glassware ! schedules, and tomorrow will begin taking testimony on the important metal items, on which more than 100 witnesses have asked to be heard. More than a score of witnesses pa- raded before the committee yesterday seeking readjustments, increases and decreases 1n rates on all kinds of plate and window glass. As in the hearings on the first schedule, importers and manufacturers were found in disagree- ment. A proposal by J. W. Price of the| Benjamin Schottland and Vitria Co., Inc., New York, importers of Belgian | and’ Jugoslavian’ glass, for & reduction of approximately 50 per cent in exist- ing duties on various sizes of window glass was followed by & concerted effort on the part of the manufacturers to have the tariffs increased. Furniture Men's Demands. A reduction request affecting plate glass filed by A. Solomon on behalf of the imported plate glass consumers and the Furniture Manufacturers' Asso- ciation of Grand Rapids, Mich., preceded another group proposal seeking higher duties, Mr. Price contended that present duties on window glass were so high as to limit his companies’ market to the Eastern seaboard area and that manu- facturers had raised their prices 7 per cent in the last three years in the face of an unchanged import market. Solomon argued that improved methods had curtailed labor costs in this coun- try approximately 33 1-3 per cent, and that the foreign glass was urgently needed. William L. Monro, Pittsburgh, repre- senting the Window Glass Manufac- turers’ Assoclation, sought increases in the window glass rates on the ground that raw material and labor costs were much higher in the United States and because of freight rates limiting the market. H. B. Higgins of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. requested increases on various sizes of plate glass and a definite place in the law for a new laminated glass used for windshields with a rate of 20 cents a pound and 25 per cent ad valorem. Queries From Garner. Representative Garner of Texas, rank- ing Democrat on the committee, who cross-examines nearly every witness seeking increases, developed from his witness that his company paid over $22,000,000 in stock dividends in the last 10 years. He then said he could not understand why a company . making profits germmm( such dividend pay- ments should seek additional tariff pro- tection, and asked Higgins to submit to the committee the amount of taxes pald by the stockholders in that period and the total in tax refunds and credits allowed by the Government. The witness contended that efficiency, not the tariff, had contributed to his cog!pl:my'sl 1::0!\:.5 er plate glass companles, includ- Ing that operated by H&n‘m?‘;:. quested increased duties, their Tepre- ::I;‘t;t}:en& du:nctendixl:lg- that the present le ual T here and .nm-fif' B i NEWSPAPER QUITS RADIO. :St. Louis Globe-Democrat “Does Not Care to Mix the Two.” ST.

ON METAL TARIFF FIRST COMMUNITY DRAMA GUILD “The Dover Road” Will Be Presented at New Mc- Kinley High. Amateur Theatrical Lovers Work Hard for Success of Initial Offering. The first production of the Com- | munity Drama Quild, “The Dover | Road,” will be presented under di- {rection of Clifford Brooke on Wed- ;nesday and Thursday nights, Jamu- lary 23 and 24, in the auditorium of | the new McKinley High School, Second and T streets northeast. g | Washington player groups, dramatic ! clubs, citizens’ associations, university students and lovers of the amateur drama have worked hard for the suc- cess of the giuld's first production. So great has been the interest that sponsors of the guild feel it represents an amateur drama movement of the people of Washington, and that the people themselves are shaping its | course. Cast Picked After Tryouts. The cast for the play, which was se- lected after extensive tryouts by the casting committee, includes represent- atives of numerous local drama groups. Among them are: Denis E. Connell, Arthur B. White, Dorothy Crosby, Dorothea Lewis, Gerald Flood, Robert Miller, Harry Westcott, Jack Phelan, Betty Ridsdale and Wilma Flood. No two of these players belong to the same organization. An average of 25 drama directors of Washington who are registered as guild members, have been attending 1are conducted in the Franklin Admin- istration Building by Clifford Brooke. The cast has been working hard for the opening performance. Ethel T. Prince, Willlam M. Lamb, Harold Snyder and Mrs. Edwin Paul also have been working long hours in designing and executing stage settings. Plans for publicity, including the dis- play of posters and sale of season and single tickets, are being handled by the committee of registrants. The tickets being sold throughout the city are ex- changeable for reserved seats at T. Ar- thur Smith’s ticket bureau on G street without additional cost. Theater Parties Organized. One of the interesting features of the opening presentations by the guild will be the theater parties now being or- ganized by individual members and groups. ‘The Community Drama Guild is re- garded as a new amateur drama move- ment in the National Capital, a fed- eration of organized drama clubs rather than a new club. Players are not taken from their own clubs, but merely “bor- rpwed” for the occasion. ‘The second event in the guild season go at first.

The elimination contests will be held in Columbia Heights and East ‘Washington Centers from February 11 to 23, and the finals in the McKinley High School auditorium on February 27.

In view of this request it is the opinion of a number at the Capitol that the highest tribunal will pass on this important question which has never before received its attention. Should it do so, its decision will have a direct bearing on the Muscle Shoals bill which was in_the hands of the President when Congress adjourned last session and which received neither his approval nor veto, ‘The bill on which the Government asked that the court pass upon was one to authorize the Indians to bring suit in the Court of Claims for the value of certain lands which the Government was alleged to have taken without com- pensation. The bill was sent to the President for his consideration on June 24, 1926. On July 3, eight days later, Sundays excepted, the first session of the Sixty-ninth Congress adjourned for the Summer recess. The President did not sign the bill nor return it with his per gross ton 2,240 lbs. 9.50, RINALDI BROS. oo xbhE B0 e UPPLY COV'". lyn, Va. DI Md.

Just Around the Corner ‘o Save Many a Good, Hard- Earned Dollar objections to the House in which it originated. The Indians take the view that the pocket veto of the President had not killed the bill and that the measure had become law without his signature because he had not returned it to Con=- gress with his disapproval within 10 days, Sundays excepted, after it had reached him. Suit was brought in the Court of Claims and the court held the bill had not become law. Substantially the same condition exists in regard to the Muscle Shoals bill, which reached the President in the closing days of the last session. The controversy centers around the constitutional provision that bills sent to the President shall become law un- less he vetoes them in 10 days, Sun- days excepted, unless prevented by the 1 adjournment of Congress.
