DAIRY PRICE PROBE | FAVORED I REPORT ON NG NEASRE Senate District Committee Also Considers Alley Dwell- ing Elimination. GROUP NAMED TO STUDY REORGANIZATION OF D. C. Gas Light Companies’ Merger Bill to Be Called Up Tuesday. The Senate District Committee voted a favorable report on the King resolu- tion for an investigation of the prices of milk and other dairy products, heard witnesses on the bill to eliminate alley dwellings, and named a subcommittee to study reorganization of the District government, in a busy meeting yester- d ay. The alley closing bill is to be studied during the next few days by Senators Capper of Kansas and Austin of Ver- mont, in conference with Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, of the Park and Planning Commission, and Corporation Counsel Bride. The bill probably will be acted on when the Senate committee meets again at 2 p.m. Tuesday. Chairman King announced he also would call up Tuesday the bill to au- thorize merger of the Washington and Georgetown Gas Light Companies, and his measure to broaden the general powers of the District Commissioners. Alley Conditions Described. Conditlons in the inhabited alleys of the city were described to the committee by Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, who has been working on the alley improvement movement for 25 years: Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, a director of the Tuberculosis Association, and by Miss Gertrude Bowling, of the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society. The bill before the committee, spon- sored by Senator Capper, contemplates gradual elimination of inhabited alleys over a 10-vear period by authorizing the District to acquire these areas, replat the land and demolish or erect buildings thereon. The plan is to make the alley closing project self-liquidating by leasing or selling the lands, or the buildings that may be erected after the areas have been replatted. Corporation Counsel Bride announced the Commissioners are in favor of the bill with certain amendments to be proposed by Col. Grant. The latter official explained that the amendments merelv strike out the United States Housing Corporation as_the Govern- ment agency through which the Dis- trict Commissioners would carry out the project, and leave the President free to designate the agency that should handle the problem. Bride will confer Monday with Senator Capper of Kansas, at the request of Chairman King. Mr. Bride said he would present a new proposal, different from that involved in legislation now before Congress. What this will be, he said. would not be revealed until the conference with Senator Capper. Mrs. Hopkins told the Senators how she began in 1910 trying to bring about better housing conditions for the thousands living in alleys, how the World War made impcssible the carry- ing out of an earlier alley-closing law and of the recent revival of the move- ment. Mrs. Grant of the Tuberculosis Asso- eclation quoted statistics showing the tuberculosis death rate is 208 per 100.- 000 of population in the alleys, as com- pared to 86 per 100,000 in streets. Health Menace Stressed. Miss Bowling also emphasized the health menace which exists in the hid- den communities in the alleys, due to overcrowding and unsatisfactory hous- ing facilities. She suggested it would be more economical in the long run to clean up the alleys than to pay for the increased hospital facilities being re- quired as time goes on. 3 While speakers were telling of in- sanitary conditions in the alleys, Sena- tor King and other committee members questioned District officials as to how far they could go under existing law in ccrrecting these conditions. Senator King wanted to know if some of the alley structures could be condemned as public nuisances. Mr. Bride explained that Congress passed a law some years ago for the condemnation of insanitary buildings, under which structures must be torn down or repaired if they become 50 par cent depreciated. He also said the city's sanitary inspectors follow up all complaints of insanitary conditions in the alleys, but he pointed out there are only 20 of these inspectors for the entire city, with the alleys forming only a part of their territory. The Corporation Counsel testified that in 1932 there were 188 alleys, con- taining 1,947 houses and a population of 5983 N Charles Rush, secretary of the Wash- ington Real Estate Board, said the Na- tional Association of Real Estate Boards has been studying this general problem. Mr.' Rush’ stggésted leaving out of the bill a paragraph relating to loans to limited dividend corporations. Those in charge cf the bill said they would agree to eliminating this section, point- ing out there is a separate bill pending. by Senator Copeland of New York, to provide for formation of limited divi- dend housing corporations. Favors Portion of Bill, James C. Wilkes, representing the Operative Builders' Association, favored that portion of the bill providing for elimination of alleys, but said he did not think it would be practical to build houses on a self-liquidating basis that would rent for what alley houses rent for. Senator King's resolution seeking an investigation of prices of milk and other dairy products, still requires Senate action. The Utah Senator. who pointed out that the resolution is similar to the one that was await- ing Senate action when the last Con- gress ended on March 4, probably will file the mew report Monday. The proposal that a subcommittee be named to meke a study during the Summer of the advisability of reorgani- zation of the local municipal govern- ment was suggested by Chairman King. When the committee approved the suggestion, the subcommitte was named, as follows: Senators King, Mc- Carran, Democrat, of Nevada, and Cap- per. Republican, of Kansas. The King resolution does not refer directly to reorganization, but Senator King, in explaining it to the committee, said he had in mind submitting a re- port to the committee at the next ses- slon on possible changes in the de- partments of the city government.

Clayton, chairman of the Fublic Utilities Committee, was request- ed to take the matter up with the bus voked. ‘The Districc Commissioners today announced the license would be revoked if the institution officials have not taken advantage of the offer of a hear- ing by Saturday. Dr Fowler recommended that the license be canceled in a report laid before Dr. Luther H. Reichelderfer, president of the Board of Commission- ers, late yesterday. The report was based on a special inspection of the institution yesterday morning. This was ordered after two physicians affi- liated with the sanitarium were charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of a woman patient. Dr. Fowler reported the institution was found to have no hospital equip- ment and that he was informed there had been no patients there for three years. He said there had been a num- ber of complaints against the place in recent years, but that investigations of earlier date had shown no reason for revocation of the license.

Another of President Roosevelt's nom- inees for office encountered Senatorial opposition yesterday, wher Senator Couzens, Republican of Mchigan, ob- jected to confirmetion of Dean G. Ache- son, Maryland attorney, for the ;}osc of Undersecretary of the Treasury. The Senate adjourned until Monday with- out finishing consideration of the nom- ination. Announcing he had nothing person- ally against Acheson, Couzens said he objected to “a policy” of men being put into the treasury “who are unable because of former connections to best serve the public.” Couzens went on to explain that as an attorney here, Acheson had formed connections that without being dishon- est, he might favor in tax matters be- fore the department. He added: “The temptation is too great to have public offices filled with men with these connections.” b ‘whose nomination to be collector of in- ternal revenue is before the Senate Fi- nance Committee.

HOPE OR BETTERMENT HELD AIM OF TRAVELERS Joint Conference of Agencies Con- cluded Today With Luncheon at Y. W. C. A . ‘The transient of today shares the enterprise if not the opportunity of the pioneer who broke home ties to press on for the frontier. Both were resolved to better them- selves, but the transient finds himself an unwelcome burden to communities already crowded where the pioneer found room and opportunity. Shunted from city to city, State to State, the unemployed transient is near- ing desperation, according to Miss Bertha McCall, director of the National Association of Travelers' Aid Societies. Speaking today before the Maryland State Conference of Social Welfare, in joint session with the Washington Council of Social Agencies, Miss Mc- Call declared “there can be no solu- tion for the transient problem until the community assumes full responsibil= for the outsiders within its boun= daries.” Communities at Fault. Miss McCall told the welfare work- ers, meeting at the United States Chamber of Commerce Building, that the blame for conditions among desti- tute transients lies with communities which are antagonistic toward newe comers. The speaker pointed out that the pecple of the United States, descended as they ‘are from the pioneers, should have more sympathy for the plight of those who are on the move solely from the hope of bettering their condition. Nevertheless, Miss McCall continued, “because of 49 different resident laws in 48 States and the District of Co- lumbia. there are 49 reasons why transiency, during these years of de- pression, has come to be considered a disgrace. or at least a serious handi- cap, instead of a progressive step, as in the past.” The conference, which opened yester- day with more than 300 social welfare workers and many leaders of national prominence in attendance, was to close after a luncheon at the central Y.
