Extreme doubt that the incoming Congress would put through & bill legal- izing 3 per cent beer, even if it were recommended by President Hoover, was expressed by members of Congress in ‘Washington last night, although there ‘were exceptions to this general view of | fhe situation: Purthermore, Republican leaders here ideclared emphatically that President Hoover would make no such recommen- dation, despite the furors’ created by the admisgion that one of the Presl- dent's secretaries, Walter Newton, had asked the -Census Bureau for data on Jabor employed in the breweries before and after prohibition.

A pungent odor of smoke pervaded the bullding. Still, no smoke was visible and no fire could be found.

Whereu the householder called in & deputy chief of the Fire Department. Even the ex- pert was puzzled. He examined every room without finding any smoke. Searchlight Is Used. Then the deputy chief switched off all th: lights and made a painstaking search for smoke with the aid of his searchlight. This was a trick of his trade. He knew the rays of the flash- light might pick up the swirling clouds even if they were too thin to be seen with the naked eye. The chief’s hunch worked. The smoke was found to em- anate from the interior of folding doors in the library. The work, too close to a chimney, was smoldering.

States which do not choose to prohibit all alcoholic beverages. They are argu- ing that in this depression of business, with great unemployment, the openin; of the breweries would put many men back to work. They argue, too, that the opening of the breweries would make a market for many millions of bushels of grain when the, farmers are unable to find markets for their produce, Representative John J. Cochran, Democrat, of Mi a wet, issued a statement last night in which he asked: “If it was logic in 1918 to close the breweries so that the raw material and man power could be used for war purposes, is it not equally good I to open up the brewerles now so that sur- plus grain could be used and thousands facing starvation this Winter would be placed to work so they could provide the necessities of life for their fam- Anti-Saloon League Speaks. The following statement on the beer question was issued last night by the Anti-Saloon League of America: i “Beer advocates who see a solution | of unemployment problems through le- galization of beer are viewing a mirage on the desert.

The detour is 2 and six-tenths miles long. The stretch of Canal road off which the motorists must be steered is 2 miles long. For many years motarists have been accustomed to detouring off parts of Canal road during the daytime while men have been working on the sewer, but the present detour is in effect 24 hours a day. In the , when opera- tions in the middle of the road necessi- tated shutting off traffic during the working hours, busses, milk wagons and mail trucks were allowed through with special watchmen. Now all traffic is barred. Explains Slow Progress. Explaining the long and cumbersome operation, which has now been going on for 10 years, San Engineer J. B. Gordon "pointed out that the sewer is not one for which there is a pressing need at the moment, and that it has proceeded at its leisurely pace in or- der not to tie up too much of the de- partment’s funds and men needed on more urgent jobs. It is eventually plan- ned that the sewer will intercept sew- age in the Potomac Valley north of road, including sewage from Chevy Chase and Glen Echo sections. This sewage now pours into the Potomac River. T{)e ‘work h‘:—.l been M on annual appropr! tions rom $50,000 to $75,000 per year and ultimately will cost about $750,000. It will go as far as Chain Bridge, shortly west of which it will split into two branches, one to inter- cept sewage from Chevy Chase and one for Glen Echo sewage. Before the decision to bar all traffic, which was put into effect July 29, Mr. Gordon sald he considered putting the men to work in three shifts so as to ing the roadway out of use. He de- cided against it, he said, because the sewer is being dynamited through solid ous to have three changes of workers every day, when there is always & chance that the incoming shift would ing operation, with a risk of loss of life or damage to the roadway. Blasted Through Rock. The sewer is being hewn through a layer of solid rock, and at its present location is about 20 feet below the road surface. When the sewer gets past the present stretch of narrow roadway Canal road will once more be opened to traffic ex- cept during the working hours. The morning and evening rush-hour traffic open work. During working hours, how- ever, most of the roadway will be taken up with trucks of the material men, and the roadway will continue closed to traffic as before.

Officials in charge of the white schools cited the virtual completion of instal- lation of the junior high school plan, with only a few scattered seventh and eighth grades remaining in elementary schools. Those in charge of the colored schools pointed to the opening this month of 50 new class rooms, together with the promise of & new 24-room school in February in the Browne Junior High School. Needs Finally Relieved. ~ Foremost among the new white schools which receive their initial classes tomorrow are Alice Deal Junior High School in Reno and the Charles Eliot Junior High School ad- joining the Eastern School. The for- mer will afford long-needed relief in the Chevy Chase-Cleveland Park area. This building, together with the new Lafayette Elementary School will per- mit the removal of three portables from the E. V. Brown School playground, three more from the John Edton School playground and two from the old Broad Branch road site, where a typical “rural” school community had served for several years. ‘The Eliot Junior High School will be opened with only seventh and eighth grade classes, so relief will be afforded 250 INDEPENDENTS RAISE CAB RATES; FACE NOTICE FINE Utilities Commission Given Required 10-Day Information. MAJOR TAXI COMPANIES - REFUSE TO FOLLOW SUIT 20-Cent Zone Retained, but Limits Reduced—Others Increased Up to 80 Cents. Nearly 250 independent taxicab operators have boosted their Tates with- out complying with required formalities, thereby facing the possibility of a fine set by the Public Utilitles act at $200 a day for each operator, it was learned last night. Officials of the major cab companies throughout the city said that their organizations do not intend to follow it. Representatives of the lndemdmt rators say they have the Public Utilities - Commission of the change, but admit that 10 days’ notice, which the commission Tequires, was not given. The higher rate has been in effect since Thursday morning in some cases and in others was first used yesterday. ‘Those who scalg say they hope eventually to suade all independent operators their rates. Zones Reduced. The boost was accomplished by the creation of & new and considerably smaller ‘c me, E. D. nu, spokesman for the group, e defended the increase as an effort to obtain s “living wage” for the indepen- dent car owners. ‘The new basic zone is set inside the old zone, where most of the operators formerly charged 20 cents. The rate for the new zone is 20 cents. The new and ler 20-cent zone is bordered by North Capitol street, Flor- ida avenue, Twenty-second street and Constitution avenue. “A majority of the hauls in the city are mede within this zone, Which ap- proximates the old city limits,” Leffing- well said. “We have tried hauling pas-. sengers from downtown to Wisconsin avenue and Decatur street for 20 cents and are losing money. It can't be done with a fair t.” ‘The new 40-cent area is the same as the old 20-cent zone. It is bounded by ‘Wisconsin avenue, Macomb street, De- hitherto crowded schools in the Eastern section of the city. This building will relieve Eastern High School next year by establishing a ninth-year class and thus Jeaving the senior high school only three years to accommodate. It also will' permit removal of the portables at the Kingsman and Maury Schools. Through .the opening of these two junior high schools all seventh and eighth grades will be permanently re- moved from elementary schools in the eastern half of the District, with the exception of isolated schools in Ana- costia, Benning and Langdon. Simi- larly, all seventh and eighth grades will be removed from the Georgetown tion, excepting the Grant School.

One reliable indication of the increased enrollment is the number of pupils from schools other than public schools who have ap- plied to the boards of high school ad- missions. The board for the white schools interviewed 602 children dur- ing Thursday and Friday, while the board for colored schools saw 76. Ap- proximately 100 more aré expected to apply for admission to the colored high schools this week, however. McKinley High School is expecting the greatest congestion this year. Al- though ed for .1,800 students, it probably will enroll between 2,100 and 2,500, Armstrong High School may lead in increased enroliment with indi- 1,500. Dunbar ts 1,500, also.

Large Increases Expected. Central High School anticipates a roll of more than 2,200, while Business High School, which next year will be moved into the Roosevelt Building, now under construction at Thirteent Iowa avenue, will continue accommo- dating approximately 1,200 or 1,300 stu- dents in a building designed to hold 900. Langley Junior High School, adjoin- ing McKinley High, anticipates a real jam, but looks forward to relief from the opening of the new Taft Junior High School in Brookland in another 18_months. In addition to those eliminated by the opening of the Deal and the Eliot Junior High schools, the portables which will be removed from service include two at Rosedale and Twentieth streets northeast, through the opening of the Young (platoon) School; four IS NEW COUNCIL HEAD Rebecca Greathouse Gets| Chairmanship of Body at Party Elections. | Mrs. Mrs. Rebecca Greathouse, assistant United States Attorney, has been elect- ed chairman of the Lawyers’ Council of the National Woman's party, it was an- nounced at he arters here yesterday.
