GOTWALS TO OFFER - D.C.BODY SIGNBILL 'erees to Insert Public Hear: “ings Provision in Billboard Measure. ° i An agreement having been reaches on proposed changes in the bill pro- viding for the regulaticn of outdoor ad- vertising signs in the District, Maj. Jobn C. Gotwals, Engineer Commis- sloner, sald he hoped to be able to " present the measure for the approval of his colleagues at today’s board meet- M the suggestion of Frederiz A. Delano, president of the Araerican Civic @Asscciation, Maj. Gotwals azreed to put up to the Commisstoners the proposal to incorporate in the bill a stipulation | that public hearings be helc preceding any changes in regulations concerning | biliboards. This was one of the original ! proposals suggested by Lieut. Col. U. 8. ! Grant, 3d, director of the Office of Publ.c Bufldings and Grcunds in the National Capital, but had been omitted lbl'luthe recent redrafting of the House Delano Satisfied of Protection. ‘With this safeguard included in the bill, Mr. Delano felt that public inter-| ests would be amply protected. As he pointed out previously, public hearings provide the only way for orgnnlzntlons} like the American Clvic Association, | sponsors of the local anti - billboard campaign to know that changes are contemplated in regulations. ‘The only other difference was based upon the insertion of the word “main- taining;” which Mr. Delano believed might pave the way for a regulation permitting outdoor advertising inter- ests 10 repair existing billboards within the District. Upon assurances from the ( Engineer Commissioner that the bill gave the Commissioners ample author- ity to regulate billboards and condemn those which are unsafe or otherwise objectionable if the Commissioners de- sired, Mr. Delano was understood to have withdrawn’ his objection. Maj. Gotwals pointed out that legis- lation authorizing the regulation of or billboards should carry with it authority also to regulate their maintenance. The act as passed by the Senate is entitled an act “to regulate the erection . . . and maintenance of outdoor advertising signs and other forms of exterior advertising.” Section 2 of the bill requires that no person, firm or corporation shall engage in the business of “erecting, hanging, placing, painting, displaying or maintaining such signs without first having cbtained a license. It is understood that the words “or maintaining” were inserted in this section so as to bring within the scor of the regulations certain firms which are engaged in the business of maintaining billboards. House Group Approval Next Siep. Should the Commissioners approve the measure, the next step would be to forward their recommendations to the ! House District Committee, on whose | calendar the bill is pending. Endeavo:s | would be made, it was said, to get the committee to report the measure to the House during the present session. Hearing Objection Explained. ‘The objection of the Commissioners to the public hearings, Mr. Delano plained, apparently was based on the supposition that hearings would be | sought in connection with every ruling. Maj. Gotwals said that hearings under such circumstances not only were un- necessary but would slow up 4 tration of the act. He was assured by Mr. Delano and Col. Grant, however, that the American Civic Association and the National Capital Park and Planning Commission were asking for hearin only cn the adoption of the new regula tions and amendments thereto. Mr. Delano also said that Maj. Got- wals seemed satisfled that some defi- numewmbe'ox;kednws?ufihg restrict any general repairs for tl improving of billboards.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 2.—Heads of the four Eastern trunk line railroads, who reached an agreement last week on the major points of a consolids tion plan, were in conference here again today. There was no announcement as to the subject of the discussfon, but it was believed that ratification of the agree- | ment’s terms, which have not been made public officially, was being con- sidered. It is known that the executives desire to get their proposals before the Interstate Commerce Commission as soon as possible, perhaps by the end of this month. Several details, including the price the Van Sweringens will pay the Penn- | sylvania for the latter's interest in the Lehigh Valley and the rental to be patd by the Pennsylvania for trackage rights | over the Nickel Plate between Buffalo | and Chicago, remained to be settled | when the agreement was announced on Tuesday. It had been understood that there | might be recourse to arbitration to de- termine these points, but there was a feeling in railroad circles that any di ferences would be straightzned out among the execytives themselves. ‘Those_attending today's meeting in- cluded Patrick J.

PASADENA, Calif, January 3.—Dr. Albert Efnstein today joined the men studying the behavior of a universe to the structure of which they say his relativity theory appears to offer a clue. These men, earnest workers of the Carnegie Institutién of Washington, have the world’s largest telescope—a 100-inch reflecting mirror—at Mount ‘Wilson. 4 This observatory, an attraction for the master mathematician and physi- cist, is investigating the universe, study- ing its parts, its structure and its be- havior. Since no one institution can hope to cover the whole of the subject, Mount Wilson, having the world's largest telescope, devotes most of its time to the remote regions. The moon and planets are studied as members of the solar system, to which the earth belongs. The sun, a_ typical star and by far the nearest of them all, is studied in- tensively. The stars are known to form a defi- nite system, isolated in space. ©ther similar systems, the nebulae, are scat- tered as far as the telescopes can reach, and perhaps farther, With the great reflectors and accessorles it is possible to study the whole of the observable region of space. Dr. Einstein at one time formed a mental picture of the cosmos, a mathe- matical concept developed by calcula- tion. Here he finds a man who has seen and studied phyeically the ob- servable universe, and who has found that observable distances of 300,000,000 u;’% de‘“ are apparent. s ‘man is Dr. Edwin P. Hubble of Mount Wilson. He has much to show to Dr. Einstein. $50,000,000 URGED IN DROUGHT RELIEF Ex-Gov. Byrd of Virginia Asks President to Allot Sum to Rural Road Building. By the Assoclated Press. WINCHESTER, Va., January 2.— Former Gov. Harry F. Byrd, chairman of Virginia's Drought and Unemploy- ment Relief Commission, in a letter to President Hoover expresses the hope that the President “will use the power vested in you by the terms of the relief bill,” to divert $50,000,000 to drought States to be used on cheaper type road construction. Mr. Byrd said that in the relief meas- urz signed by the President there was no fund available for the relief of un- employment in the rural districts where the drought has occasioned hardship and suffering. He said the $1,500,000 allocated to Virginia must be expended on roads in the Federal system and on construction types approved by Pederal Bureau of Roads. If the States were allowed to spend the money on “farm-to-market” roads and cheaper types of construction, he said, employment would be furnisted to | farmers in the vicinity of such roads, | thus enabling them to remain at home and support their fdmilles.

By the Associated Press. Immediate withdrawal of American Marines from Nicaragua was proposed today by Senator King, Democrat; Utah. Describing the killing of eight Ma- rines as a “tragedy which must arouse the sympathies, if not the anger, of the American people,” Senator King said it was “a bad thing to send bayonets to support Americeu investments in fore eign countries.” He said he would introduce a reso- lution Monday calling for “absolute withdrawal, politically and militarily,” 50 the Nicaraguans “may work out their own_destin; “We have been in the habit of in- tervening too much in foreign lands,” King added. “It is bound to provoke and has provoked resentments and feel- ings of ill will on the part of the Latin ericans. “It leads them to believe we are im- perialistically inclined, not only from a business but from a military point of view—that we are too apt to support by military force economic penetration.” OUTLAWS HUNTED _ AFTER SLAYING 8 MARINES IN FIGHT (Continued From First Page.) been principally sustained by the Nic- araguan National Guard, which bas Ma- rine Corps officers. In one or 11 skirmishes reported with the insurgents in Nicaragua during last November a National Guard outpost at Matiguas was attacked with a loss cf 5 members of the garrison. ‘There are at present about 1,000 Marincs in Nicaragua. The force is commanded by Col. Fred- erick L. Bradman, many of the cffice: non-commissioned officers and priva tunctioning as officers cf the Nica- raguan Constabulary. The force has been gradually reduced from a peak of 4.100 officers and men, in November, 1928, when the’ Nicara- guan goneral elections were held. Sandino Reported Active. Gen. Augustino Sandino was reported in a Mexico City dispatch of November 13 to have recover:d from wounds re- ! ceived in battle with Marines or Nica- raguan Constabulary a few weeks before and to have resumed charge of his fol- lowers In Northern Nicaragua. The same dispatch saild that two sons cf Pedro Altamirano, his principal aide, had been killed in an encounter with Marines. Sandino is a former Nicaraguin Lib- eral, whose activities as an insurgent began in the middle of 1927, with ele- vation of Adolfo Diaz, Conservative, to the presidency. After &he armistice, which officially ended the fighting be- tween the discontented Liberal element, he and his followers remained in arms and offered considerable oppostion to United States Marines, who had been placed in the country to supsrvise a general election.

He was said to have received leg wounds in a battle last Summer in Northern Nicaragua. In a pronouncement in 1927 Frank B. Kellogg, then Secretary of State, called him an “outlaw.” His military operaticns have sometimes had a guerilla flavor, although his “anti-im- perialistic” pronouncements aimed at the Washington Government won him considerabl: sympathy in sections of Spanish America.
