A tentative plan calling upon work- ers to ald the unemployment situation in Washington by sacrificing two hours each day to the jobless, and asking contractors to extend their working day to nine hours, so as to give thres ‘hours’ work to the jobless, was advanced today by the Subcommittee on Public | Works of the Districc Employment Committee. ‘The subcommittee, at meeting in $he board rooms of tI ‘Washington Chamber of Commerce, advocated the an, which would call for sacrifices | y contractors and workers alike. Jchn B. Colpoys., chairman of the @vb~ommittee, predicted that adoption of the plan would give work to 20 per | ¢ent more people than are now em- plored in the branches of the building and conciruction and other manual leboring industries. Tre measure would be a temporary ene, the committee said, designed to re- Heve the unemp'oyment problem for the Winter months.

UICIDE ATTEMPT IN-RIVER PROBED Woman, Found Drenched in| Park, Says Man Pulled Her Out and Left. Alleged suicide attempt by a woman who first identified herself as Mrs. Mary Clark, 28, of Glendale, Md., was being investigated tocay by police. ‘The woman, who said she was a widow, was found unconscious on the river front, near the Ericsson Memorial, about 8 o'clock last night, by Willlam Brueggman, 3030 Wisconsin avenue. Brueggman was driving through West Pctomac Park, he said, when he dis- covered the woman huddled on the grass, a few feet from the road. He notified a guard at the Lincoln Memo- rial, who telephoned park police head- quarters. Park Policeman C. H. Baesgen said the woman was still unconscious when he arrived and her clothes were wet. Alded by Brueggman and B. H. Bla- lock, 730 Thirteenth street, another motorist, the officer placed the woman in his automobile and took her to Emergency Hospital. ‘When she regained consciousness about an hour later, she said, she had come here from her home in Glendale a short time before, with the intention cf throwing herse!f in the Potomac. Her suicide attempt failed, however, she related, because & man who was walking nearby saw her plunge into the river and pulled her out. He left with- out making his identity known, she sald, and was soon afterward that she lost consciousness: Questioned further, the woman said her husband was dead and that she had been living with her father. e beg- ged Baesgen not to notify her parent, hcwever, on the ground he was serious: ly ill. She gave his name as H. C. But ler. From Emergency the woman was tak- en ta the House of Detention and thence to Gallinger Hospital, where she was held for mental cbeervation. Earlier in the evening., however, a | woman had telephoned the third pre- cinct police station and reported that Mrs. Irene Pennell had disappeared from her apartment, at 2131 O street after writing a note saying she intend- HAVENNER BACKED BY EDWIN S. HEGE Letter to Maj. Emig Gives Support to Incumbent in Federation Race. . the Pederation of Citisens’ Associations, came out today as a supporter of Dr. George C. Havenner for president at the elections tomorrow in a letter to Maj. Clayton E. Emig of the Dupont Circle Citizens' Association. Maj. Emig had circulated an open letter to the dele- gates urging support of Willlam McK. Clayton and defeat of Dr. Havenner. “To my mind,” wrote Mr. Hege, “it | ought to be perfectly feasible to praise |Mr. Clayton as a_candidate ithout seeming to attack Dr. Havenner or any other candidate for president of the or- ganization mentioned.

Crisis Was Feared. | “As election date approached and a | dearth of candidates continued, many delegates expressed themselves as feel- |ing “the organization was nearing & | crisis. Then Dr. Havenner was chosen | executive officer of the local Bicenten- | nial Commission and was persuaded to | stand for another term. “There was probably some reason for such a dearth of aspirants, an often | heard and perhaps true explanation is, | that Dr. Havenner, because of his de- ‘vouun and effective effcrts in behalf | of the federation, has in a degree | spofled the position by setting stand- | ards as to quantity and quality of serv- lce—both in municipal and legislative circles—few successors can reasonably hops to equal. i Cites Airport Incident. “Poseibly. as you suggest, Dr. Haven- er did take part in defeating several legislative proposals for a municipally- owned airport.

REAL ESTATE OPERATOR Bares Failure to Keep Canceled Checks and Stubs—Bankers Iden- tify Important Accounts. Personal creditors of Edmund D. Rheem, former head of Swartzell, Rheem & Hensey Co. renewed this afternoon their efforts to have him ad- Jjudged & bankrupt so his private assets may be made available in payment of their claims. Rheem, brought back from Lorton, where he is serving a seven-year sent- ence for removing from the vaults of the company notes left by purchasers for safe-keeping, took the witness stahd before Jusf P. D. Letts in District Supreme Court yesterday, but was un- able to testify because his personal records were not available. He said he had not procured the records be- cause he had “been out of town” for four months. Justice Letts Asks Records. After indicating he was not satisfled with the explanations of Rheem and his attorney, Leon Tobriner, Justice Letts adjourned court, ordering that the necessary records be secured im- mediately if they are available. Tob- riner had told the court he did not get the records because he had not believed Rheem would be called yesterday. If the petitioners are successful in having Rheem adjudged bankrupt, every asset he has, including his $80,000 ‘home on S street, will be converted into cash and made available to @ll the creditors of the company he directed. The petitioners, through Attorney E. Hilton Jackson, are proceeding on two grounds—that Rheem was insolvent and that he made preferential payments to certain banks in settlement of claims. If successful in these contentions, the creditors expect to recover back from the banks the money Rheem paid them. Canceled Checks Destroyed. Under the bankruptcy law Rheem may be examined concerning his trans- | actions for four months prior to the date of the' filing of the bankruptcy petition. He said yesterday he never kept check stubs and had destroyed all his can- celed checks for 1930. A check record might be avaflable, he said, for the first six weeks of 1931, included in the four-month perfod. One of the pe‘itioners, Mrs. Carrie O. Allnut, tertified she bought five 31,000 notes from Rheem in March, 1930. “I told him the $5,000 meant every- thing to me.” she said, “and asked fcr the best investments he had. He as- sured me the notes were perfectly safe and then sold me some that were re- leased.” According to the records, however, the notes had not been released at the time of the transaction. Bankers Take Stand. dot’se O. Vass, vice president of Riggs National Bank; Francis G. Addi- son, president of the Security Savings & Commercial Bank; A. H. Lawscn, vice gruldent of the Washington Loan & it Co., and W. J. Waller, vice presi- dent of the Federal-American National Bank, identified from the witness stand us ledger sheets covering Rheem’s transactions with their banks. Mr. Vass and Mr. Addison said Rheem’s personal bank accounts with their institutions, about $2,000 and $400, respectively, had been applied by the banks in settlement of their claims. FUEL HUCKSTER BAN MAY BE RESCINDE D. C. Heads Expected to Act as Result of Public Hearing Held Yesterday. ‘The District Commissioners are ex. pected to rescind their recent regula- tion barring fuel hucksters from the streets as a result of a public hear- ing held yesterday by Corporation Counsel William W. Bride, representing’| the city heads. The Commissioners had adopted the regulation without any public hear- ing following a petition filed by gaso- line filling station owners. Later the fuel hucksters, who have been selling fuel from tank trucks, filed an objec- tion and the Commissioners ordered the regulation suspended until further notice. ‘The . regulation had been adopted largely on the theory the fuel trucks are a fire hazard and that such sales on the street interfere with the “peace, comfort, safety and good order” of the public. To support this, Chief Engineer George S. Watson of the Fire Depart- ment was called to the stand, but under questioning from lawyers for the fuel hucksters he testified that dur- ing the 14 years in which fuel hucksters have been in business here it has not resulted in a single fire.

This faculty will formulste the academic policies of the school, and the plans for the develop- ment of its vari branches of teach- ing and research. It also will carry the responsibility of appointing members of the teaching staff. Dr. Marvin indicated that other phases of the program, later to be developed, are the establishment of graduate work in public health and the removal of the School of Medicine and the university hospital to a new site where a modern medical center, in- cluding hospital buildings, Medical School quarters and associate buildings will be built. Meanwhile, however, the university will carry on with its previ- ously announced plans to erect a new addition to the present Medical School Building. The addition will provide a central laboratory for the hospital and teaching laboratories for bacteriology, public health and clinical microscopy. Courses Rearranged.
