WOMAN KILLED CROSSING STREET Death of Miss S. Edithi Stevenson Brings Toll for . Year to 17. ‘With the fatal injury last night of Miss 8. Edith Stevenson of Woodstock, | N. Y., who had been staying here at | the Alban Towers Apartments, the list | o District traffic deaths for this year ! was increased to 17. Miss Stevenson, who was about 65, was struck at Wisconsin avenue and Macomb street by an automobile operated by Leroy Bornman, 22, of Seneca, Md. She was dead upon ar- rival at Georgetown Hospital. Born- man was detained by police and later released under $100 bond, pending ap- pearance at an inquest. ‘The dead woman came here a short time ago from Woodstock when ordered by a physician to seek a! warmer climate, it was said today by Miss A. M. Carroll, a recent acquaint- ance living at 3508 Lowell street. { A card in her pocketbook asked that | relatives in Indianapolis be notified in) case of an accident. She lived alone. An English pug dog, which Miss Stevenson had here with her, was found in her apartment after her death and is being cared for by Miss Carroll. In another traffic accident Laurie C. Harrison, 9, of 1437 Belmont street, lost part of a finger as the result of her sled and an automobile, coming out of an alley, colliding on the side- walk near her home. The end of the finger was amputated at Emergency Hospital'and the child returned home. Gerald M. Lee, 23, of 2420 Fourteenth street, was driving the car, police said.

By the Associated Press. “Education and recognition” was the war cry last night as 50 of the 110 first-term members of the House of Representatives met to organize a New Members’ Club. Party lines were cast aside as the group fraternized and elected officers of their organization. Part of the desired education, ac- cording to Representative Maverick, Democrat, of Texas, would be a trip to New York to “see the sights.” An invi- tation from Mayor La Guardia would be appreciated, it was admitted. Representative Hubert Utterbacl Democrat, of Io was elected pre dent; Jack Nichols, Democrat, of Okls homa, vice president; George H. Mahon of Texas, secretary-treasurer; W. |sur11nc Cole, Republican, of New York; Louls C. Rabaut, Democrat, of Michigan, and Maury Maverick of ‘Texas, members of the board of gov- ernors. Burdick Gets Post. Representative Usher L. Burdick, Republican, of N. Dak., the tallest and largest man, 6 feet 2 inches and 268 pounds, a former Minnesota University foot ball star, was elected sergeant at | arms. Serious objection was raised by Rep- | resentative Chandler, Democrat, of | Tennessee, to what he said was the “old timers’” reference to new mem- bers as “first termers.” “That sounds more like ‘convict’ than ‘Congressman’ to me,” Chandler told his colleagues. Next Congress, I guess, they'll refer to some of us as ~ | second-timers.” Maverick, whose family name in ment unhesitatingly, knowing that those who sit beyond the aisle are of a different political party, but that they are human and as interested in D.

Norgren said he had made a care- ful search of the court’s files and was unable to find these records. The committee has in its possession, how- ever, papers showing Buckley had been released under bond after his arrest. Pitzpatrick asked Norgren who was gesponsible for the missing records. “I don't know,” he replied. “Snooping” Prohibited. Van Orsdel explained to the com- mittee that the telephone company had co-operated with the United States attorney’s office, but it would not permit its employes to “snoop around” and report anything “im- proper” in the houses or establish- ments of its subscribers. Since May 28, 1934, Van Orsdel said, the company received from the United States attorney’s office eight requests to disconnect services to certain sub- scribers believed to be engaged in gambling activities and that every request had been complied with. In addition, he explained, the company | removed 275 telephone stations and refused to install 58 other stations in that period on the basis of the United States attorney’s notice that he had reason to believe the phones were being used or would have been used for gambling services. Never Refused Aid. “Is it true that you ever refused to co-operate with the District at- torney's office?” asked Representative Jenckes, Democrat, of Indiana. “We never have and I am speaking for all departments of the company,” Van Orsdel replied. Garnett had told the committee he had received 100 per cent co-operation from the legal department, but he “My substitute meets every argu- | ment which has been advanced by the McCarran prevailing wage agree- ment. I voted for the McCarran amendment and I make no apology for doing so. It has been charged against the prevailing wage amend- ment that it would injure private in- dustry, putting the Government in competition with private employers, I, like other members of the Senate, times will not return in this country until opportunity to place the toilers at work in industry has been found. “Labor is as dependent on indus- try as industry is dependent on labor. Industry Unhampered. “In my opinion the McCarran amendment will not in any way ham- per industry. It has been said, lpow- ever, that such will be the case. The emendment I propose meets that argument, It has been predicted that if the prevailing wage is paid by the Government on relief projects, the workers will flock to the Government pay roll and will not go to private in- dustry. I do not believe that that will be the case. However, under my pro- posal, if it should be found at ary ing wage was injuring industry and retarding recovery, all that our great leader has to do is to give notice to that effect and to take action in the matter. “Labor is unreasonable, it is charg- ed in some quarters. There are some who say that the laborer is overpaid. I do not believe that the workers of this country have ever been over- paid.” Senator Reynolds referred to the fact organized labor was insisting upon the prevailing wage amendment to the work relief bill. He asked to have his substitute for the McCarran amendment referred to the Appropri- ations Committee, which has that measure before it. did not believe he was given the full co-operation of the commercial de- partment. Van Orsdel cited an instance where Capt. Joseph Morgan of the fifth pre- cinct called on one of the company’s employes, engaged in the collection of coins from pay stations, for his observations at a certain place in his precinct. This employe, he said, ex- plained to Capt. Morgan he had not seen anything because the establish- ment was dark when he made tne collection. “We have had requests for the re- pair and installation men to report back what they saw of an improper nature,” declared Van Orsdel. “On that procedure we refused. We can't make detectives or peace officers of our men. We will not permit our me: to snoop around.” Letter Is Introduced. Representative Finerty, Republican, McKellar Predicts Passage. ‘When Reynolds had finished speak- ing, Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, predicted the work relief bill will pass and become a law in substantially the form in which it was reported to the Senate, and said it should be enacted without the Mc- Carran amendment. McKellar said that in his 24 years in Congress he has supported legislation to improve the conditions of labor. “In my State, and I believe in other States, the McCarran amendment would cause thousands of persons to leave private employment and go into Government work, and that would not be good for labor or for the country,” McKellar declared. Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported, Henry 1. Harriman, presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, came to the support of Mr. Roosevelt for his stand of Pennsylvania, a recent addition to the Crime Committee, attended the hearing for the first time and intro- duced for the record a letter from Garnett to Senator Copeland, Demo- crat, of New York explaining that proceedings before the grand jury ‘were secret and he could not comply with & request for information as to why an indictment had not been re- turned in a certain stolen car case. ‘When Garnett was on the stand he revealed he had turned over to the House Military Affairs Committee a record of the grand jury proceedings in the sensational War Department fraud cases. ‘The committee’s next hearing will be Monday at 1:30 pm. At that time it will question Inspector William G. Stott about Police Trial Board pro- cedure. —_— Democratic Women to Meet.
