SENATORS T0 HEAR DISTRICY DEMANDS Subcommittee to Begin Its Work Tomorrow, School E Items Leading. | The District subcommittee of the Senate_appropriations committee will begin hearings tomorrow morning on | the local supply bill for the next fiscal year, which passed the House Friday, carrying a total of $38.213,150. The bili will be in charge of Senator Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut, who was made chairman of the subcommittee at the beginning of this session, when Senator Phipps, Republican, of Colo- rado, asked 1o be relieved of the chair- manship after a long period of service. Preference in Appointments. Board of Education officials are ex- | pected to seek a change in the provision | placed in the bill by the House this year, under which only the first 25 per cent of local normal school gradu- ates would have preference over out- side teachers in appointments, Dr. Charles F. Carusi, president of the board, it has been indicated, will seek to have the amendment eliminated, or replaced by one that would establish a four-year teachers’ college for local students, to place them on & parity with the outside applicants with whom they would have to compete for appointment. It is probable the Senate subcom- mittee also will have its attention di- rected to the item of $165,000 left out by the House to cover the second in- stallment of-a two-year program of in- creases to bring the salaries of District employes up to the level of the Federal service. Senator Odie, Republican, of Nevada, filed a proposed amendment to the ap- propriation bill vesterday, to be con- sidered by the subcommittee, requesting $125,000 for an addition to the Whittier School, including a gymnasium. Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary- Jand, also has.an amendment pending. to provide for a northerly extension of Rock Creek Park into. _a portion of Maryland adjoining the District. Will Consider Questions. Senator Bingham will give local of- ficials an opportunity to present to the Senate subcommittee any questions they believe should be considered, but it is the chairman’s hope to complete the hearings as soon as possible, since this is a short session of Congress. Senator Bingham has beéen studying the detailed hearings held. by the louse subcommittee, and prior to that' he devoted several days during the Christ. mas holidays to tours of the city and of municipal institutions, to get first-hand | information in preparation for the drafting of the bill. ‘The chairman also has been making a study of the report of the Bureau of Efficiency on the fiscal relations ques- tion.

'SENATE APPROVES | INAUGURAL FUND | $25,000 for Special Police Arrange- ments and Municipal Expenses | Is Granted to District. The joint Tesolution giving the ;Dis- trict Commissioners $25,000 to make police arrangements and'to cover other municipal expenses incident to the in- auguration, was passed by the Senate yesterday afternoon and sent to the House. Before acting on the resolution, Democratic and Republican Senators exchanged a few pleasantries over the need for special police arrangements | during the inaugural period. When Senator Dill, Democrat of Washington, inquired as to the size of the appropriation, Senator Robinson of | Arkansas, Democratic leader, observed that “the police duties have been fcry largely increased by the presence of so many Republicans fn Washington.” This brought the quick repiy from Senator Vandenberg, Republican of Michigan, that “there will be an un- usually large number this year from other States which usually have not contributed to our celebrations Senator Sackett, Republican of Ken~ tucky, brought the good-natured col- loquy ' to a close by adding that “It is to protect the Democrats in Washington against the Republican crowds that are coming in.” The resolution authorizes the Com-. missioners to remove street car, loading: platforms temporarily, ta_make. speciaty traffic rules and to lioghse street vendorg: during the inaugural period.
