VANDENBERG URGES VOTE FOR DISTRICT Senator Tells Michigan There Is Less Home Rule Here Than in Philippines. “The Washington citizen has less | ‘home rule' than a native Filipino,” Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Mich- m member of the Senate District igan »‘lm'iemn&h of oo e i un! s, meet! recently at_Bay City, Mich. Senator Vandenberg, because of his membership on the senatorial com- mittee which has to do with the affairs of the National Capital, has given much study to the situation in Washington. In his opinion the resident of the Na- tional Capital, who must look to Con- gress for every piece of legislation, even to the naming of a street, and who has no say whatever in the expenditure of the taxes he pays, is entirely without “self-determination” so far as the character of his Government is con- cerned. He favors “modernizing Wash- fagton’s municipal code.” Duty to Capital City. In his address to the representatives of the cities of Michigan, Senator Vandenberg sald: “I have a municipal as well as a Fed- eral function, owing to membership on the Senate District of Columbia Com- mmittee, which, in part, is the common council for the City of Washington, If you sometimés pity the fashion in which your own cities are hobbled by your own forms of municipal govern- | ment contemplate what your problem would be if you had 435 aldermen in one branch of your city council and 96 aldermen in the other. I persistent- ly marvel that Washington gets along as well as it does. Think of a system of municipal administration which re- quires an act of the National Congress, signed by the President of the United States, in order to open or close a street! No greater exaggeration of neecless burden and complication in municipal administration could be con- celved. * * * “And talk about ‘home rule'—the fa- vorite aspiration of every American city!

The actress' statement read in part “While I was at Lake Tahoe, Mr.| Will Rogers invited Rex Bell, my sec- | retary, Miss Devoe, and my: to din- ner. "1 did not know the hotel was a gambling place until after we reached there. After we had dinner Mr. Rogers went to one of the gambling tables and naturally we went with him. I began to play a little at a game called ‘twenty- one’ which they call there ‘black jack. “They gave me 50-cent pieces to play with and I signed some checks in blank, telling the dealer to fill in che amount of the 50-cent pieces he. had given me. There were four checks, Chips Were Worth $100. “It now seems they claim these 50- | cent pleces represented what they call $100 chips and they put enough in the checks to amount to that. “When the checks reached my bank they called me and said the checks had a slip on them asking the bank to ‘wire fate of these checks.' “This attracted the attention of my banker and I found out for the first time this gambling house claimed I had lost and owed them nearly $14.000, so I told the bank not to pay the checks. “If these people think they have an honest claim against me, I will gladly recelve any legal document they . serve on me, or they can present them to my attorney, Mr. W.

In the meantime the actual situa- tion confronting grain farmers is any thing but promising, as leading trade | authorities see it.

Yet this country's visible supply of | wheat at 202,000,000 bushels s the largest on record. There is a carry-over of nearly 250,000,000 bushels and while | European purchases have been more | liberal than a year ago thus far, they | now have fallen off. | Prices, at the lowest in nearly a quarter century, fully discount this | situation, in the belief of traders. They point out, however, that rising values are almost never a characteristic of | September or early October, because of hedging operations growing out of the ‘marketing of the new crop.

He said he had reason to believe that Russia was figuring that the United States next Spring woulc have a sur- plus of at least 200,000,000 bushels, which, together with the huge Russian crop, would depress prices greatly. The short sales, in his opinion, were made to make money for the all-Rus- sian textile syndicate, which expects the price to be down as & result of the huge Russian crop, and to be able to cover at a large profit.

In his message to Premier Bennett he recalled the latter's statement ex- {reuing willingness to co-operate witn he United States in the matter, T! Representative sald the depression in the wheat market was “equally disi trous to the Canadian and American farmers” and added that ne ‘“would appreciate your sending a representa- tive with knowledge of the whest situa- tion in Canada to testify or otherwise co-operate.” The Representative also announced receipt of a telegram from John A.

Mr. PFish said he was investigeting to find out whether sellers or buyers of wheat in excess of 500,000 bushels in one day are requested to report to the Government.

The fitth fire in warchouses of the Hub Furniture Co, having occurred | within less than two years, officials of the Police and Fire Departments today iaunched exhaustive investigations to determine the cause of the blazes. Inspector Willlam 8. Shelby, chiet of detectives, announced he had assigned Several men to question each of the 15 employes at work in the building when yesterday’s fire destroyed the warehouse at 80 L street northeast, entailing heavy damage. He said the past records of each of the employes would be checked. Ruins to Be Inspected. P. W. Nicholson, acting fire chief, declared there was ‘something mighty queer’ about the series of fires. He added he had instructed officials of the fire marshal's office to make a careful inspection of the ruins and question every one concerned. The chisf said special attention would be given to the fact that the fire was reported by girls working nearby instead of by men ac- tually within the building. In’ stressing the seriousness of the blaze, Chief Nicholson said it came dangerously close to spreading to other large structures in the vicinity. He pointed out.that practically every re- source of the Fire Department was needed to extinguish the flames, “The smoke was as bad as any I ever saw,” Chief Nicholson declared “My eyes are still burning.” Damage Estimates Differ. Estimates of the damage differed. E. M. Kaufman, manager, sald yesterda: that the loss would amount to $12,000 or $15,000. This was fyrniture stored in the building. In addition, Wilbur F. Nash, owner of the building, said his loss would be $18,000. Charles G. Achstetter, fire marshal, estimated the total loss at $50,000, while Chief Nicholson said it might amount to as much as $55,000. Fire Department officials said their records showed there had been four other fires in warehouses of the Hub company since February 8. 1029. The first causcd a loss of $78,300, the sec- ond $400, the third $497 and the fourth $149,294. WHITE HOUSE PAINTING BRINGS PROTEST FROM UNION MEMBERS _ (Continued From PFirst Page.) | D. C, because he does not employ union labor. “Section 3709 of the Reised Statutes, as amended and interpreted by the gen- eral accounting office, requires that competitive bids be obtained for such work after advertising and that the contract be awarded to the lowest re- sponsible bidder. In this case, four bids were received and that of R. K. | Ferguson, Inc, was the lowest bid. Before making award to the lowest bid- der, since it is recognized that any work done at the White House must be high-grade work and can only prop- erly be done by a contractor with the necessary experience and competent rsonnel, the qualifications of the low idder to do the work were given a special investigation in this case. It was found that he had already done Government work as follows: (1) The rotunda of the National Museum, $11,- 492.32; (2) Treasury Building, interior painting, $1,830: (3) Naval Hospital, $2.500, and (4) Veterans' Hospital, New York, $18,500. Work of Excellent Quality. “It was found that in each of these cases Mr, Ferguson's work had been ex- cellent in quality and that he had satis- factorily fulfilled every expectation under his contract. The following quo- tation from a letter from the chief clerk of the Treasury Department is of par- ticular interest in this connection: “‘In reply, you are advised that Mr. Ferguson has been low bidder on a number of jobs in and about the Treas- ury Department and iis annexes during the past several years, and I am advised by the assistant superintendent and in- | spectors that his work has been highly satisfactory in every respect. They further state that Mr. Ferguson is a man of high character, has been pleas- ant to deal with, has been perfectly honest, and always furnished a great ob.* “From the foregoing it is evident that R. K. Ferguson, Inc., has been proven by previous contracts with the Govern- ment to be an entirely competent, capable and qualified contractor for this job. The law, as interpreted by the Controller General, does not give the administrative officer any disv Veretion in the matter of selecting the bidder to whom award is made, when ‘this is the case. For me to have awarded ‘the contract to a higher bidder because he employed union labor and the low bidder did not, would have been a violation of the statutes passed by Congress. Nevertheless, ap- ;precluun‘ the policy of the adminis- tration, not to permit the temporary financial stringency of the countiy to lower the scale of living of American workmen, I took the precaution in this case to Inquire into the wages being id and that would be paid on this job by R. K. Ferguson, Inc. I found that the wages paid by this firm were equal to or higher than those paid by the Government itself under the per- sonnel classification act, as amechded by the Welch and Brookhart, bill, for similar cl of work, and a condi- tion that wages not iess than those paid by the Government would be paid in every case by the contractor cn this contract was made a supplement thereto. Action Without Alternative, “From the foregoing, it is evident that this office could not have made an award to one of the higher bidders without violating a principle well es- tablished by law, and that, if Govern- ment contracts are to be awarded only to the employers of union labor, or those having agreements with the un- fon, legislative action is necessary. That this office is not prone or in- clined to give contracts to the em- ployers of non-union labor, except as required by the laws governing ad- ministrative officers, is shown by the fact that contracts for construction or similar work have been entered into by me since January 1, 1930, aggregating $402,167, and that this and one other contract are the only two for such work which have gone to non-union firms, For the White House alone, a total of $117,805 worth of work has been done by contracts entered into during the same period, and this one painting job, costing $6,300, is the only one by a non-union contractor. “If this complaint is instigated by the local union of the Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers of America, it comes as a surprise. be- cause I had a lengthy conference with their representatives before entering into this contract, at which I explained fully the legal 'situation. When checked up on_the quality of work done by R. K. Ferguson, Inc., for the Government in past contracts and ob- tained the assurance that this con- tractor would pay his employes at least the salaries established by the Govern- ment for its own employes doing the same kind of work or more, I notified the representative of this union as a | result of my investigation and he ex- himself entirely satisfied that could take no other action under the circumstances.” D.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Senator Fess, chairman of the Re- publican National Committee, doesn’t think prohibition can be an issue in the present campaign because it cuts into both parties. Actually prohibition is going to de- termine the outcome of several con- tests, and the upshot will be a direct influence on the attitude of members of Confrm in the forthcoming se:rion Prohibition is an issue in the sena- torial contest in Illinois. It was an issue in the Massachusett§ primary and will be even more pronounced in the Bay State next month as the cam be- tween former Senator Butler, dry, is developed against Marcus 3 Democrat, an avowed wet. Only in New Jersey, where both Republican and Democratic candidates are wet, has the issue been neutralized. Prohibition in New York. In New York State, where there is no enforcement law and where the office of Governor has many more things attached to it th prohibition en- f{orcement, there is far more discussion of prohibition at the moment than any other subject. The Republicans are divided and the drys are threatening to nominate an independent against Charles H. Tuttle, wet, who appears assured of the Republican nomination for Governor. In Maryland where Gov. Ritchle, Democrat, and long a champion of the wet cause, is a candidate for re-elec- tion, his opponent, Mayor Bruening, Republican, is standing squarely behind Mr. Hoover’s enforcement policy and will have the support of the drys. ‘The wet and dry issue is conspicuous in the Ohio gubernatorial race as well as in other States east of the Mis- issippi. In Illinois the senatorial con- test hinges largely on the prohibition question, with the extreme wets sup- porting former Senator Lewis, crat, and the extreme drys backing Mrs. O'Neill, independent Republican, and with . McCormick more or less in the middle ground. Disturb Party Lines. ‘There is no way of telling, of course, what the influences are that finally win an election, but no doubt will exist this year that prohibition will draw a large number of voters from their y?lrty loyalties of the past, and anything which is so fundamental as to disturb party lines is an issue of paramount importance. %:e full effect of the November elec- tions will be felt in Congress, because at no election in recent years has there been such sharp lines of cleavage on the wet issue. The demand for repeal of the cighteenth amendment has never before reached such . intensity, while the drys care equally determined to punish those who are faltering on a moral issue which they believe super- sedes all others. The business depression is an issue being used only by the Democrats, but prohibition is working inside of both parties to cause such realignment as will make it difficult to determine the future course of the future parties in 1932, It is apparent, however, that the Democrats are drifting toward the “re- peal” of the eighteenth amendment, while the Rerubnclm may at least ad- vocate “revision.” (Copyright, 1930.)

Addressing the opening assembly of the George Washington University Law School held yesterday at Stockton Hall, Judge Joseph W.
