MEASURE PROVIDES NEARBY PLANNING Virginia Delegates Seek Leg- islation for Proper Develop- ment of Capital Area. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, §tan? Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va, March 2—In an effort to provide an official planning body that will be empowered to deal with the National Capital Park and Planning Commission in the proper de- | T Velopment of the Virginia section ad- jacent to the District of Columbia, Delegates Hugh Reid of ! County, J. Fred Birrell of Alexandria and Edmund H. Allen of Fairfax County today introduced a bill to amend the Ball park and planning act of 1930. The Ball act, which was designed for the formation of a commission that could co-operate with the Federal planning body, failed because of changes that were insisted upon by the representatives of Alexandria and Feirfax County, two of the jurisdic- tions affected. ‘These objections are | expected to be eliminated by the bill | introduced today. | Plan Change in Appointment. One of the principal changes pro- posed in the amendments is in the methed by which members of the com- mission will be selected. Under thel original act one member was to have been appointed from each of the gov- erning bodies of Alexandria, Arlington | and Fairfax_Counties and two by the | Governor. The new bill provides for the appointment of one member from each of the governing bodies, one ad- ditional member from each of the jurisdictions, who is mnot an office holder, but who would be selected by the governing bodies, and one by the Governor. While the original act provided that the Northern Virginia park and plan- ning district should be composed of all of Arlington County, the City of Alex- andria and a definitely designated portion of Fairfax County, the amend- ments provide that the Board of Super- visors of Fairfax County shall have the right to exclude any portion from the district that it chooses. Reduce Tax to 2 Cents. Another important amendment is! that the action be put into effect by the affirmative vote of the governing bodies of any two of the three jurisdictions affected. This amendment would make | the act effective only in the two locali- ties which elected to accept its pro- wvisions. In case of the formation of the com- mission by only two of the localities, the membership would consist of five | members instead of seven. One of the principal objections to the present act, patrons of the new bill say, was that it provided for a 4-cent tax 1o raise the necessary funds for the ad- migistration of the affairs of the com- on. Today's amendments cut this tax to 2 cents and also provide that the governing boards may include their share in_their annual budget in lieu of levying the tax, if they so desire. Patrons of the present bill believe that they will have overcome one of the main drawbacks by the amend- ment which will permit any two of the jurisdictions to combine, rather than to ve the entire effectiveness cf the act depend upon the favorable vote of all three localities.

ST T0HOUSE Senate Approves Bill to Out- law Yellow Dog Contracts, 75 to 5. With the Senate having approved it by a vote of 75 to 5, the Norris bill to curb the use of injunctions in labor disputes and outlaw “vellow dog” con- tracts was sent to the House today for its approval. The big majority by which the bill was approved by the Scnate late yes- terday followed years of effort by or- ganized labor to obtain such legisla- tion. The five votes against the bill were all_cast by New Englanders. The final ballot came at the end of more than a week of debate, during which every amendment opposed by those sponsoring the legislation was! rejected. Would Protect Press. In addition to its labor clauses. the bill carries a provision to protect the freedom of the press by authorizing jury trials and transfer of judges in cases of contempt of court. Just before the final Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania, an- nounced he was voting for the bill| “with a good deal of shame" because of “the condition in which it leaves the Senate.” He said he was “convinced that the court of equity should not be con- verted by the injunction method into a police court,” and was opposed to the “yellow dog” contract, but felt some provisions of the bill would take away from labor more rights than the measure protected. Reed expressed the hope certain pro- visions would be changed by the House. Johnson Proud of Vote. Senator Johnson, Republican, of California, replied he was voting for the bill “with a feeling of pride and exultation because this Congress has done a measure of justice to the workers.” He added: “At last we have seen the day when Congress has dared to legislate against | a Federal injunction outrageously in- voked against labor.” Senator Hebert, Republican, of Rhode Island, who sponsored a substitute measure which the Senate rejected, an- nounced he was voting for the bill. saying his vote would be justified “if we can prevent the issuance of offensive forms of injunctions.” Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, said he felt the most important bro- sion of the bill was that outlawing vellow dog” contracts, which bind a worker not to join a union. He ex- pressed confidence it would “put an end” to that form of bargain. The five Senators who voted against | the bill were: Bingham of Connecticut Moses and Keyes of New Hampshire, Austin of Vermont and Hale of Maine Outlaws Contracts. e Senator THE EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, iPlANNERS SOON 10 GET 282,00 Montgomery Commissioners Approve Agreement Between Maryland and U.

Rezoning Petition Received. A rezoning petition of Edward W. Of- futt, asking that property on the west yards south of Edson lane, on which he has a store, be changed from resi- dential A, non-conforming use. to com- merical, was referred to the Maryland- National Capital Parking and Planning Commission. A contract for the demolition of a house at Takoma avenue and Chestnut street, in Takoma Park, which is to be moved to allow the widening of the proposed roadway from the Fern street underpass in Washington, was awarded to L. J. Matthews, jr. who offered to pay the county $130 and re- move the house. County Engineer Harry B. Shaw was directed to notify the American Oil Co. to remove certain underground ga: line tanks located in Montgomery Coun- ty at Wisconsin avenue just north of the District line. These tanks must be moved to allow for the widening of ‘Wisconsin avenue, it was stated. SYRACUSE PROFESSOR |ADDRESSES INSTITUTE Concrete Convention Told of Value of Color Scheme in Archi- tecture. “The public is becoming color-minded in its architecture” said F. R. Lear, professor of architectural design of Syracuse University, speaking before the twenty-eighth annual convention {of the American Concrete Institute last night at Wardman Park Hotel. “The color scheme has an effect on the lgplr!nl dimensions of a build- ing,” he said, “and the designer must consider color not merely as a decora- tion and trimming, but as a part of the mass conception of the building.” The Concrete Masonry Association, also in session here, is a national or- ganization of manufacturers of concrete masonry units used in foundations, walls, floors and fireproofing of all types of buildings. — LEADERS ARE INVITED TO ROAD CONFERENCE Curtis, Ambassadors and Congress Members to Attend. Invitations to attend the twentieth annual convention of the United States Good Roads Association in Miami, Fla., April 12 to 15, were extended today to Secretaries, The bill would declare the “yellow | dog” contract contrary to public policy | and outlaw it by making it unenforce- able in Federal Courts. Tt would strictly limit the grounds on which labor injunctions would be issued, forbidding them except after open hearing. after unlawful acts had been committed, unless complainant had no adequate remedy at law, unless public officers fail to furnish adequate protection and unless the employer had made every reasonable effort to settle the dispute. ; It also provides for jury trials in all contempt cases except those committed in the presence of the court or so near as to interfere with the administration of justice, and would give defendants in contempt cases arising from a on the character or conduct of the tudge the right to demand retirement of the sitting judge and hearing of the case by another. ¢ ESCAPED CIRCUS LION IS RECAPTURED EASILY Coaxing to Enter Cage After Being Cornered. . By the Associated Press. NAPOLEON, Ohio, March 2.—A large and sociable circus lion that threw an entire countryside into panic late yes- terday, when it escaped from its cage, was recaptured and safe on its way to Peru, Ind.. last night. It was a doclle and disappointed king of beasts that crawled back into its cage one hour after its escape from a truck in which it was being transported from Toledo to Peru, The lion was recaptured after it had taken refuge from its pursuers in a barn on the farm of Peter Walters. Pelice and deputies armed with guns and tear gas surrounded the barn, but the lion returned to its cage without coaxing after the cage had been placed against the barn door. The beast escaped when the cage was damaged by striking a railroad bridge near the city limits. DOUGLAS HERE FOR DUTY ury Reaches City. James H.

H. March 2 Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts came into New Hampshire last night to lend a hand in the campaign to advance the candidacy of a slate of delegates pledged to work for the presidential nomination of Alfred E. Smith. ‘The Massachusetts executive ad- dressed 2,000 persons here and 600 in Nashua. He said he was for Smith in 1928 and that he could see no reason why Smith, by his position as leader of the Democratic party, was not entitled again to be named the party’s standard- bearer, “Can you point out to be,” Gov. Ely asked his hearers, “a man of greater experience and tried executive ability than this great leader who comes from the Democratic ranks in the City of New York? “He is reccgnized by Government au- thorities as superlative in his ability and one who understands how to diag- nose and remedy public difficulties. “No Democratic leader, whether in Concord, Newport or Boston, will ever be able to crowd off the ballot the name of the man the people asked for, Alfred E. Smith.” His audience interpreted this remark to refer to Robert Jackson, national Democratic commiiteeman from New Hampshire; Robert Gould, State chair- man of the Democratic Committee in New Hampshire, and Mayor James M. Curiey of Boston, all of whom have ex- pressed their preference for Franklin D. KRoosevelt. New Hampshire will hold its prefer- ential primary next Tuesday.

By 2 Staff Correspondant of The Star. | RICHMOND, Va, March 2--Out- | of-State trucks that enter Virginia as often as four times each month would be required to carry Virginia tags. under the provisions of an amendment to the motor code as reported out last night by the House Roads Committee In case of its acceptance, this amend- | ment would, it is claimed. strike a severe blow at the many Washington contractors whose trucks enter Virginia This amendment was one of a num- ber of important measures reported by the House and Senate Roads Commit- tee as they attempted to clear their files of the many controversial meas- ures yet to be considered by the Gen- eral ~ Assembly before —adjournment | The Senate committee alo reported jthe motor code bills, but without the amendments adopted by the House; the Rogers drivers' license bill, and the bill requiring distribution of road funds in accordance with unfinished mileage. Would Affect Washington. The House amendment requiring in- terstate contract busses to carry Vir- ginia tags in case they entered the State as often s four times a month. it is said, would more seriously affect Washington than any other jurisdic- tion. This is especially true with respect to the scores of trucks that have been engaged in hauling the dirt from the excavations for the new Government buildings to points in Arlington County. Patrons of the motor code bills say that Virginia licenses would have to be_procured for each of these. It is also pointed out that there are many Washington contractors who find it necessary to frequently send their trucks into nearby Virginia. The amendment also would hit the many North Carolina_produce trucks tha make regular trips to Washington and Virginia points. More Funds for Capital Area. More funds would be made available for the construction of proper ap- proaches to Washington under the terms of the bill which would require distribution of the funds apportioned to the primary reads of the State highway system, according to unfinished mile- age, it is said. The bill provides that the money be apportioned to each of the eight con- struction districts in proportion to the unfinished primary roads in the dis- tricts. In the past these funds have been apporticned as nearly equal as possible among the construction dis- tricts. Introduction of the bill followed lefforts of Tidewater delegates, who claimed that most of the State roads in their sectionr had been finished, to have $5,000,000 of the highway funds appor- tioned to schools as a local tax relief measure. Representatives of the North- ern and Western sections of the State have fought this plan, claiming that they stiil have many miles of uncom- pleted roads.

A. R. Head. v Fostering of the spirit of patriotism is both a duty and a privilege of resi- dents of the District of Columbia, mem- | bers of the District Daughters of the American Revolution were told today. The message came from Mrs. Lowell P. Hobart, president general of the na- tional organization of the D. A. R.. on | the occasion of the thirty-first annual | meeting of the State conference in | Memorial Continental Hall. Cites National Advantages. | “The great natural advantage that | residents of the District have in pro- moting the ideals of the founders of | their country can hardly be overesti- | mater,” Mr. Hobart said. “Through at- | tendance at sessions of Congress and | committee hearings on important legis- | lation, they are in a position to urge | | passage of measures that bear on the | Nation’s welfare, and to t the | ~TForts of those who would. by subtle means, bring about the overthrow of | | the ideals of patriotism and of the Na- | tion itself. |~ “The rapid spread of Communism and the open manner in which these organ- izations hold their meetings in the very | | shadow of the National Capitol pcint | only too significantly to the need !or} vigilance in protecting that for which | the blood of patriots has been spilled over the years.” Committee Report Heard. Today's meeting. aside from the ad- dress by Mrs. Hobart, was confined to committee reports and routine business. A luncheon was held at the Willard Hotel at 1 o'clock, and election of of- ficers was scheduled for late this after- noon. Miss Helen Harman, state regent | of the D. A.
