THOMAS MAY SEEK D. C. BILL ACTION IN SENATE TOMORROW Other Measures, Including Rellef, Likely to Bring Few Days’ Delay. OPPORTUNITY POSSIBLE IN TWO-HOUR PERIOD Muscle Shoals Proposal Is Next on Calendar, but Will Not Come Up Until 2 P.M. An effort may be made by Senator ‘Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma, to get Senate action tomorrow on the 1934 District appropriation bill which he re- ported from committee Friday, improved in many respects from the form in which it passed the House. If there is no opportunity to get the measure through tomorrow, Senator Thomas said he will seek action within a day or two. ‘The Muscle Shoals bill is the Senate's unfinished business, but will not come up until 2 pm. This will leave two hours, beginning at noon, for other bills on the calendar. There is a possibility that consideration may be asked for the District bill during that period although other proposals are likely to be put forward during that time. Senator Thomas does not believe it \will take long to consider the District 'bill and if there is no opening in which to call it up tomorrow he is confident of getting action later this week. Relief Action Pressed. Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York, also is anxious to get action early this week on the bill, which has al- ready passed the House, to make $500,- 000,000 available for Federal aid in meeting emergency relief needs throughout the country. The District of Columbia is included along with the States and Territories in this measure, under which $250,000,000 would be dis- tributed to each jurisdiction to the ex- tent of one-third of the public money spent locally for relief purposes. The remainder of the fund would be allocat- ed by the Federal relief administrator to States which make application, show- ing that available funds from all sources still are inadequate. Under this bill, the District would be entitled to approximately $135,000 for the second quarter of this calendar year, on the amount spent here for the relief of distress during the past three months. The prospect is that the Senate will dispose of both this Nation-wide relief bill and the District supply bill this week without materially delaying the Muscle Shoals measure. The Senate voted in favor of the Wagner-Lewis national relief plan several weeks ago. It kas to go through the Senate again, however, because the House has since passed the measure in somewhat dif- ferent form. By making available several unex- pended balances of prior appuopriations and allowing the Commisioners to spend a larger amount of the District's own gasoline tax fund, the Senate Ap- propriations Committee has made more money available for needed public works in the District appropriation bill with- out materially altering the bill. Raised to $1,500.000. ‘The House voted to let the District spend $1,040,000 of its gas tax surplus for such projects as the President might approve. The Senate raised this limit to $1,500,000 and relieved the President of the necessity of passing on the pro- glm by lodging the power of approval the Commissioners. Out of this fund, the Senate directed that $575,000 be used to start a new Calvert street bridge, after a study has been made to determine which type of bridge should be constructed. It also directed that part of this money be used to widen Constitution avenue between North Capitol and Second streets. ‘While the House bill carried no school eonstruction items, the Senate com- ttee decided to use $876,000 of an expended balance from prior appro- priations for the Municipal Center de- ‘alopmmt. to take care of four school flding items, including a start on the ew Woodrow Wilson High School, at -first and Chesapeake streets. Senate committee also made 875,000 available from other unex- nded balances for school purposes. Of is sum, $50,000 would be for improv- ing school grounds, and $25,000 for re- irs to schools. Another unexpended ce of $54,000 was made available to the Lorton Reformatory for contin- uing its permanent building program. ‘The Senate committee, recognizing the urgent need for taking care of fam- ilies in distress, raised from $1,250,000 to $1,500,000 the emergency relief ap- propriation for the Board of Public Welfare. It also made this fund im- mediately available upon passage of the bill and directed that it could be spent withzu'. regard to monthly apportion- men! Other Items Increased. At various other points in the bill, the committee granted small but essen- tial increases in maintenance items, amounting to $43,000. Included among these was the restoration of $5,000 to the fund for personal service in the public library system. The Senate committee raised the Fed- eral contribution in the bill from the House figure of $5,700,000 to $6,250.000. It also voted not to require the District to make another $1,000,000 reimburse- ment to the United States during 1934 toward advances made for carrying out the Capper-Cramton park development rogram. By this action the committee recognized the contention of District officials that this money is being paid back more rapidly than was originally intended, since only $3,500,000 has been spent on the park program within the District thus far. The reimbursements ©f $1,000,000 a year were predicated on the expectation that $16,000,000 would be spent within a few years, but eco- nomic conditions have necessitated a slowing up of the plan. One amendment recommended by the Senate committee that will go a long way toward relieving some of the diffi- culties arising from the deep cuts made below this year's maintenance appro- tions is the general provision allow- E‘m(er of funds from one subhead to another within certain departments, such as libraries, phggmmd.l, health, g:‘t}m: welfare and schools (except the ding program).

HENRY ESTEVEZ Of La Plata High School, oratorical champion of the Maryland district. ESTEVEL IS NAMED MARYLAND ORATOR Charles County Boy Wins Finals — Montgomery Speaker Second. Henry Estevez, 17, son of a Charles County farmer, last night won the championship of Maryland in that State’s Tenth National Oratorical Con- test finals, at the La Plata High School. By virtue of his victory, which was one of the hardest earned in The Star's area this year, the youth wins $100 in cash and the right to enter The Star finals May 11. Haylett B. Shaw of Bethesda, spokes- man for Montgomery County, was ad- judged second best and was designated official alternate. Should Estevez be unable to participate in the finals for this area, Shaw would replace him. and in the event of victory would go on into the national finals in Constitu- tion Hall here May 20. Four Boys Compete. Four boys competed in the Maryland finals. Contest officials, who had heard all of the elimination contests to date, regard the Maryland speakers as repre- sentative of the highest general average of ability that a “district” finals had been able to produce. Randolph Leigh, director general of the National Ora- torical Contest, who was guest chair- man, predicted at the outset that while there were only four speakers the con- test would be one of the most difficult to_judge. Robert Bradley, Hyattsville High School, spokesman’ for Prince Georges County, was the first orator to be intro- duced. Realizing the quality of the competition he faced, he presented his oration on “The Leaders of the Con- stitutional Convention with more stud- ied effect than he mustered in his county finals. His voice was clear and firm and when he resumed his chair after speaking 5 minutes and 35 seconds, his audience cheered him to the echo. Serge Remby Diab, Charlott Hall School, spokesman for St. Marys County, then launched his oration on “Origins of the Constitution.” He, too, spoke more deliberately than in his county contest and he concluded his speech just as the last second of the allowed six minutes ticked off. Shaw Speaks Last. Estevez, the La Plata High School entrant, next took the stage. He re- vealed himself in the Charles County finals as an orator of unique style and ne released his delivery with even greatér effectiveness last night. His oratory is marked by slow speech, punctuated by profound silences that lend emphasis, and contest officials who heard him last night regard him as a strong contender for The Star area championship. He spoke for 5 minutes and 35 seconds on “Wh We Should Support the Constitution. Shaw was the last to be heard. In his Montgomery County finals he had to fight the handicap of hoarseness from a cold, but last night his voice seemed clearer. Speaking on Constitution,” Shaw, who is & stu- dent at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, maintained the standard of ex- cellence that characterized the entire meeting. The decision was reached by the judges on separate ballots and without consultation These judges were Dr. Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant super- | intendent of D. C. public schools and long an interested participant in the National Oratorical Contest series in and presiding capacities; H. H. Keyser, counsel and secretary of the Potomac Electric Power Co., and | Dr. Richard J. Pursell of the faculty of | Catholic University. Stresses Closeness. Dr. Kramer announced the verdict after telling the audience that it was a most difficult contest to judge because of the excellence of the contenders. Pronunciation of the name of “Henry—" was & signal for a mad rush of enthusi- astic students for the stage. They swarmed over the footlights from the orchestra and almost swept Estevez from the stage. Dr. Kramer, however, waved aloft the check for $100 which he still had to award the winner, and the crowd backed away long enough for the pre- sentation. Then it swept Estevez to its shoulders and bore him triumphantly off the stage. Before announcing the decision in the contest, Dr. Kramer awarded to each of the speakers. the gold medals which were emblematic of w:d. county cham- included mysic” companist. The Sundoy St WASHINGTON, D. C., SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 30, 1933. NEW RECORD IS SET BY CAPTAIN KETTLE IN MARYLAND HUNT C. S. Cheston Gelding Wins Before 27,000 in Worthing- ton Valley Event. HOWARD BRUCE’S HUBAR TAKES SECOND PLACE Mrs. S. Bryce Wing's Alligator Is Third and Mrs. T. W. Durant’s Fugitive Is Fourth. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR., Staff Correspandent of The Star. WORTHINGTON VALLEY, Md, April 29.—Streaking over 4 miles of turf and timber jumps in the almost incredible time of 8:07.3, Charles 8. Cheston’s Captain Kettle, 9-year-old son of Peter Pan, won the fortieth run- ning of the Maryland Hunt Cup here this afternoon before 27,000 spectators. The time was 44 seconds better than any race over the same course in the last four decades. Charles White of Baltimore brought the speedy gelding across the finish line a good 10 lengths in front of Howard Bruce's Iubar, which in turn held a comforiable margin over Alligator, owned by Mrs. S. Bryce Wing, the 1929 winner of the cup. White was racing his mount at a hard gallop and waved his jockey cap to friends in the crowd as Captain Kettle swung - past the Judges. Fourth among the five horses that completed the round of 22 stiff jum‘u was Mrs. T. W. Durant’s 7-year-old Fugitive, which ran the most coura- geous race of all only to meet with dis- aster at the thirteenth barrier. His rider, Randolph Duffy of Middleburg, Va., remounted after the spill and set out after the leaders, but could not attain striking distance until almost at the finish line. Favorite Breaks Neck. ‘The favorite in the race, Jumping Jack, winner of the 1933 My 'S Manor Point-to-Point, broke his neck in a terrific spill at the third fence. He was owned by Mrs. Francis P. Garvan of Long Island, N. Y. Fugitive, a co-favorite with Jumping Jack, had set all the early pace after three of the field of eight went down at the third fence, and was responsible for the sizzling pace that carried Cap- tain Kettle to a new record. The Durant horse was far in the lead when he struck the 4-foot 10-inch thirteenth jump and hurtled into a complete som- ersault. Had he finished the round without & tumble, the time probably would have been ever lower than it was. The other starter to finish was Rich- ard K. Meunn'tucomu, never a con- tender at any stage. Streams of cars from ail parts of the East poured into the roads leading to the race course for several hours be- fore the start, taxing the resources of a score of State police. An hour before the post time of 4 o'clock several thou- sand persons were gathered on a slope of the Charles L. A. Heiser estate, which overlooks the course, and hun- dreds had stationed themselves on the adjoining property of J. W. Y. ‘Martin, where most of the jumps are set up. Fleld Trimmed to Eight. Last-minute scratches trimmed the fleld from 14 to 8, but those remaining represented the pick of the original en list. 'It?lyemrimflrmlndfmlndthe weather ideal as the gentlemen jockeys jogged away to the post behind the pink-coated starter. Within a few sec- onds after they reached the starting Hag the field was away to a good start. Fugitive sprang immediately into the lead, with Captain Kettle next and the others bunched behind them. Go- ing to the second fence, Jumping Jack broke out of the pack and came up fast on the inside. All were over the first two obstacles without mishap and the pace increased as they headed for the third post and rail obstacle, one of the stiffest in the course. Fugitive cleared easily in the lead and then came the disastrous tangle that cut out three of the field. Jump- ing Jack rushed the fence, struck it and crashed to his death on the other side. Almost at the same instant Ready Wit, & stablemate of Captain Kettle, smashed into_another panel and fell. Immediately behind them Mrs. Ray- mond Belmont’s Starlite plunged into the fence, carried out a rail and rolled to the ground. Neither Crawford Bur- ton, Stuart Janney, jr., nor James Mc- Cormick, riders of the three, was hurt. As Starlite went down, with him went Mrs. Belmont's hopes of retiring the famous Ross Whistler Challenge Cup from competition. She won two legs on the cup with Oracle II in 1920 and 1923, Starlite was up again in a moment, eluded the grasp of his rider and was away after the fleld. He ran riderless behind the leaders until the fourteenth |, fence, when he stopped and galloped out of the course.

Fugitive jumped magnificently over the fifth, sixth, seventh and on up to the twelfth fence, without a bobble. He was safe over the twelfth, but seemed to land a bit heavily and was not well gathered as the huge thirteenth loomed ahead. Jumping out of his full stride, | th the chestnut struck this barrier and spun to the ground with terrific force. Duffy was hurled clear over his mount’s quarters by the impact with the fence, | and it looked as if neither horse nor rider would be able to rise. ‘When Capt.

One, to be staged by the Washington Unemployed Council under the sponsorship of the iCommunist Party of America, the Young Communists’ League, the Inter- national Labor Defense and other groups, is expected by its organizers to number only 400 persons. The second, generally identified with the Socialist party, will be even smaller. Robert Shostech, organizing the second parade, estimated that 300 will march in it. The first-named parade is to leave fram Eghth street below Rhode Island avenue at 11 o'clock and proceed south on Eighth street to M street and thence to Peace Monument by way of M street, New Jersey avenue and First street. From Peace Monument the parade is to go to the District Building by way of Pennsylvania avenue, Constitution avenue and Fourteenth street. The Socialist parade is to start at 9:15 o'clock from John Marshall place between C and D streets and go east on C street to Third street, north on Third street to G street and west on G street to Typographical Temple. Both parades will carry banners, and one of them to be carried in the un- employed council parade will demand the removal of Inspector Albert J. Headley from the Police Department. Headley led a force of policemen which broke up the last parade attempted by this group. Ample details of uniformed police- men, however, will be on duty at both parades to maintain order. B. E. F.
