STREET CLOSINGS BL DISAPPROVE Commissioners Chiefly Op- posed to Giving Planning Body Control. Representative Mary T. Norton of New Jersey, chairman of the House District Committee, received from the District Commissioners today an un- favorable report on the bill authoriz- ing the closing of unnecessary streets, highways and alleys in the District. The chief objection of the Commis- sioners is toa provision which would give the National Capital Park and Plan- ring Commission control over the clos- ing of the streets and alleys. The Com- missioners declared unless this provi- sion is stricken from the measure they do not believe it should be enacted into law. The Commissioners take the position the closing of streets is a municipal matter and that they are best qualified {‘ooplu upon the merits of such a ques- n. “The Commissioners are of the opin- fon.” the report declared, “that this %uuuan can be cleared up as soon as the definite legal authorization in so far as they affect highways can be as- certained. ~ To accomplish this end, the Commissioners have invited the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission to join in the preparation of a codification of all laws end parts of 1aws applying to highw strests and alleys. This is an essential step toward & settlement of hundre of existing laws and parts of laws applying to the general subject of highways. “The Commissioners fell certain that the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission will co-operate in reparing the necessary codification cf ws and once this is done a new bill will be prepared recommending definite legislation consistent with all laws gov- eming the two commissions as they ‘\ THE EVENING Basket Ball Bus Back SNOWBOUND GROUP HAD REAL ADVA\‘TCRE. feur, brought the bus in which Eastern High School's basket ball squad was snowbound 12 miles out from Lexington, Va., back to Washington early yesterday, | writing the final chapter of a thrilling | adventure with blizzard and impassable | roads. | It was Williams, shown with his bus, | who trudged 12 miles through the storm | Sunday to Lexington after the party was stranded.

HOME LOAN BANK OPINIONS DIFFER Secretary Lamont Denies Senator Couzens’ Charge of “Suggested” Queries. Contrasting opinions as to the merits of the administration's Home Loan Dis- count Bank Prapoul were expressed by Secretary of Commerce Lamont and Senator Couzens, Republican of Michi- gan, before a Senate Banking Sub- committee yesterday. Senator Couzens directly charged “leading” queries were contained in & questionnaire issued by the Commerce Department to obtain_information on the home loan bill. This was denied by Lamont, who said no attempt had been made to suggest answers. “In view of the fact that the Gov= ernment is to put up the money,” Couzens said, “it seems every one con- cerned would answer yes.” Lamont replied it was the intention of the bill eventually to support Home Loan Discount System with pri- vate capital. Senator Watson of Indi- ana, sponsor of the legislation, suggested the original capital of $75,000,000 or $100,000,000 might be subscribed by the Reconstruction Finance tion. Secretary Lamont a: to In answer to Couzens’ complaint that the new system would not meet “the evils of second mortgages, which are the real problem of small home build- ers,” Lamont said it was his hope that the system would eliminate the neces- sity for second mortgages. Couzens, nevertheless, insisted limi- tations in the bill would not permit substantial aid for the small home builders. e Bl o Sent by a low-powered station at Heston Aerodrome, weather reports now may be supplied by radio to airplanes 3,000 feet above London. old Mocha |1 Coffee mingles with four otherofthe world’s best coffees in this incom, le blend.
