Appropriation of funds for con- struction of a subway system and municipal buildings suitable for the Nation’s Capital were urged last night by Mrs, Marie Flynn Maddox, mem- ber of the District bar and repre- sentative of the Federation of Cit- izens’ Associations. Mrs. Maddox broadcast her plea over a local radio station. In the course of her address, Mrs. Maddox assailed the Congresses which deprived citizens of the District of their “freedom and franchise,” charg- ing that they had broken faith with the founders of the Nation. Eventual- ly, she said, she hoped the injustice would be corrected. Mrs. Maddox expressed .the hope that the Federation will indorse and all citizens support a resolution adopted by the Columbia Heights Cit- izens' Association calling upon Con- gress “to provide the funds to build District and court buildings sorely needed to replace the antiquated Dis- trict Building and the ramshackle, tumbledown, makeshift structures now housing the District courts and re- corder of deeds. We call upon Con- gress to do, what we consider is its duty to do—to appropriate money for municipal buildings suitable for the Federal City and in keeping with the other monumental Government build~ ings now nearing completion, The taxpayers of the District have pur- chased land for a municipal center, and, in their civic pride, would pay for the buildings also as their contri- bution to the glory of the National Capital, but out of their pitifully small revenues they are unable to do so. “Better means of mass transporta- tion to Government buildings than the present inadequate, privately- owned systems are also urgently re- quired by the District. The Columbia Heights Association has advocated a subway system and we believe the Federal Government should bear the cost of building and maintaining one, for most of its patrons would be Federal employes. The expense of enterprises such as these for the Cap- ital should be shared by all taxpay- ers of the United States, for they are ||’ for the benefit of all.” BIG D.

DENVER, December 21.—A pair of prisoners, gray-haired yet ignorant of the ways of & new world, today stepped gingerly into freedom won by suc- cessfully demonstreiing an anti-tu- berculosis serum at the peril of their lives. Mike Schmidt, 53, youngest of the two life-termers, came back to Denver by motor car from the Canon City prison awed by the bustle of a city of 300,000 he had left 13 years be- fore. Oarl Erickson, 68-year-old con- victed wife slayer, preferred a train to carry him toward a mining claim he believes will yield pay dirt. “It's too big, too busy,” exclaimed Lady’s Diamond Ring 18-karat white gold— set with six smaller cut_ dia- monds on ’3 7.50 sides.

I have's ranch friend. I want to go there,” he con- tinued in the halting sentences he used to tell his story. “Well, they come to us—the doctors and the prison men—just eight months ago,” said Schmidt, “they went over this chance. They told us how we might die and how we might live and get out free if this medicine worked against tuberculosis. “First, they gave us the medicine (the serum) in 12 shots in one day and the same day they put the tu- berculosis germs (bacill) into us. Both arms were used. “But I wasn't scared. They told us how we might help others, Gained in Weight. “When they took us to the hospital for this test business they treated us . Yes, I was a little sick, but not much, My arms were sore, yes. “But that didn't last long. After some months—I don’t know how many —1I even gained weight. See, I gained 30 pounds. “The doctors began to smile when they looked me over. And I felt fine. I guess I felt best when Gov.
