HEARNGS ON DISTRICT BILL 10 BEGIN TUESDAY, Budget Items Refused by House to Be Considered by Committee. | [ [ MEASURE MILLION UNDER CITY ESTIMATES Lump Sum of $5.700,000 Kept. Excess Over Last Year Cut by Salary Restoration. A Senate subcommittee headed by Chairman Elmer Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma, will begin hearings Tuesday morning on the 1936 District appropriation bill, which passed the House six weeks ago carrying a total of $39.308,000. Although this total exceeds appro- priations for the current year by more than $900,000, the House left the Federal share at the present lump sum figure of $5.700,000. When the bill was being considered in the House it was estimated it exceeded current appropriations by $1.210,000. Since that time, however, Congress has provided for restoration of the re- maining 5 per cent of the Government pay cut as of April 1. This will add about $300,000 to expenditures for the balance of the current fiscal year. Million Under Budget. Although the bill in its present form exceeds current appropriations, it is still $1,000,000 under the Budget ‘Bureau recommendations. The net increase allowed by the House over current appropriations was to pro- vide for the payment of full basic salaries. The various items disallowed by the House in reducing the bill below the budget figures are expected to be con- sidered in the Senate subcommittee. These include funds to continue character education in the public schools another year: cuts made by the House in highway and water de- pavtment improvements; additional fire apparatus; $15,000 to prepare plans for a new bridge across the Anacostia River at Pennsylvania ave- nue southeast, and miscellaneous items. The reduction in highway improve- ments and extensions of water mains merely would leave idle in the Treas- ury special District tax revenues, since the revenues from the gaspline tax and from water rents can only be usca for highway and water depart- ment purposes, respectively. Police Increase Refuseg. The House also refused to allow an Increase in the number of policemen. A matipn to add 35 men to the force was beaten. The first day of Senate hearings Is expectgd to be devoted to hear- ing the Commissioners and Budget Officer D. J. Donovan. Then will « follow heads of departments and school officials. Later in the week, spokes- men for civic organizations will be heard on specific items. The subcommigtee in charge of the bill, in addition #o Chairman Thomas, includes: Senators Glass of Virginia, Copeland of New York, Coolldge of Massachusetts, Overton of Louisiana, ‘Truman of Missouri, Nye of North Da- kota, Keyes of New Hampshire, Carey of Wyoming and three ex-officio mem- bers from the Senate District Com- mittee. Senators King of Utah, Tyd- ings of Maryland and Capper of Kansas. 0LD PIERCE MILL SOON T RUN AGAIN| Bread Firms Offer Grain and| Labor in Restored Rock Creek Plant. i The restored Pierce Mill in Rock Creek Park will be finished by early Summer, C.

The Norton bill requiring financial | responsibility of motor vehicle opera- | tors in the District will be the first of four measures to be called up on “Dis- trict day” tomorrow in the House. It passed the Senate two months ago. Because of the serious traffic sitva- tion, which is causing District orfi- cials grave concern with its alarming number of fatalities and accidents. Committee said proper protection of the public demands immediate pas- sage of this measure. She has found only one opponent of the bill while District officials, scores of business and civic organiza- tions, automobile associations and street safety engineers have supported it. Mrs. Norton feels this is impera- tive legislation and that the people of the District demand its passage. Patman Willing for Debate. members have been appealed to by taxicab interests opposed to such leg- islation, with the result that Chair- man Patman of the subcommittee, which considered this bill on the last District day. asked that it be tempo- rarily withheld. Patman, however, said last night he has no intention of 1t threshed out on the floor tomorrow. Representative Hull.

Similar legislation has been adopted by 21 States, and similar bills have three times previously passed the House but failed of concurrent action in the Senate. Several amendments have been drafted by representatives of taxicab interests which may be offered on the floor. The other District bills to be called up tomorrcw are: Providing for the removal of dangerous buildings, cover- ing excess condemnations, and the condemnation of insanitary buildings.

CHILDREN'S RADID RAMS SCORED Term Broadcasts for Young “Rot.” BY THOMAS R. HENRY. The sooner the demonic ha-ha-La- ha fades from the air and the sooner the incredibly stupid master mind of the twenty-fifth century turns his dis- integrator ray g the whole proces- sion of gunmen, spies and kidnapers, that pass through the erstwhile peace- ful American home between 4:30 and 8:30 p.m,, the better for all concerned. Such was the unanimous opinion of ‘Washington psychiatrists, psycholo- gists and educators who are worried over the malevolent effect of the early evening radio programs on the sug- gestible minds of children. “Terrible rot,” was the almost unanimous response of those inter- viewed. All expressed concern over the fostering of neurotic tendencies among youngsters by these programs which apparently are trying to outdo each other in piling up mystery and terror to ever more ridiculous ex- tremes. They find boys and girls neglecting wholesome play and neg- lecting their “home work.” In the school rooms their minds wander. How can they concentrate on spelling and arithmetic when they left some air hero the evening before crashing to earth after the air pirates had i Emotional Wrecks Feared. If a whole generation of Dillingers and Hauptmanns is avoided it will not be the fault of the radio programs, these experts agree. “I believe these programs are caus- ing many an emotional wreck among professor of psychology at George Washington University. “They are doing incalculable harm. I advise those of my graduate students who are school teachers to take the matter up with their parent-teacher associ- ations and urge the leaders to write to the sponsors of such programs in the hope that the protests may have some effect in changing their char- acter. “It is a fact that children come in from healthy, outdoor play in the late afternoons to listen to this hor- rible rot. It is especially bad since it tends to throw the children into a highly emotional state just before | they go to bed. The children nat- urally associate themselves with the ' gangsters and murderers on these | programs and may often spend nights | of terror. Veneer Forced on Movies. “The effect is probably much the 1 | | by the worst sort of movies, only | worse. The movie is forced to have | some slight veneer of decency because it constitutes a permanent record. But a voice coming over the radio is such a nebulous sort of thing that almost anything can be said. The bad effect hardly can be overesti- mated, and I think all psycholagists interested in the welfare of children will welcome anything that can be done about it.” Among the Washington psychiatrists who voiced indignation over the char- acter of these programs was Dr. ‘Winifred Richmond of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, one of the country’s fore- most authorities on the personality | development of adolescent girls. “I cannot help hearing parts of these programs myself,” said Dr. Richmond, “and when I go to bed with the memory of screams, pistol shots and 21l that in my ears I dream about them and spend a restless night. | Certainly, the effect must be worse on children. Cites Boy Acquaintance. “But then comes a little boy of my acquaintance and tells me what ‘his gang’ is doing at school—and he is as wholesome a child as I ever have known who has been brought up in the most wholesome of atmospheres. He tells me all the horrible things the gang is going to do to the fel- lows who are not in the gang ard I wonder what pernicious thing is oper- ating on the innocent mind of this little fellow.

SUBCOMMITTEE SAID TO BE STUDYING SITE Letter Will Be Sent to Congress Members Insisting on Plan i Widely Indorsed. Concerted opposition to selection of | jan airport site in Northeast Wash- |ington was developing last night as | | rumors reached local civic and park | | officials that a House subcommittee is considering abandonment of both Gravelly Point and Washington Air- 'port as sites for a permanent com- mercial airport. | | Clarence A. Miller. chairman of the Aviation Committee of the Wash- ington Board of Trade, predicted that the united opposition of the Board of Trade, Federation of Citizens' As- sociations, National Capital Park and Planning, Commission and other or-l ganizations will be brought against any airport site other than Gravelly | Point. Miller said he will send a letter to every member of the House Subcom- | committee and to Chairman Norton of the House District Committee in- sisting upon selection of the Gravelly Point site. “I take the position,” he said. “that | the people of the District of Colum- bia are not going to be saddled with | the expense of an airport on a loca- tion they do not want. Local civic and business organizations are unani- 'mously in favor of the Gravelly Point site.” Miller said he would try to get| copies of his letter into the hands jof each member of the subcommit- | tee. headed by Representative Ran- dolph of West Virginia, prior to a | meeting of the subcommittee sched- juled for tomorrow morning. | Protest by Delano. The opposition of the Board of | Trade official came closely upon the heels of a protest by Frederic A. De- lano, chairman of the National Cap- ital Park and Planning Commission, against the selection of any site other | than Gravelly Point for a local com- mercial airport. In a letter which he sent to Chair- | Mr. Delano said that his commission | has given continuous study to the ?problem of an airport for ‘Washing- | Public” Utilities Commission. which | tive Flannagan of tobacco-growing ton ever since 1927, and during this period “has consistently and repeat- edly indorsed the Gravelly Point site jas being the only appropriate area | Leffler | suitable for a central commercial air- | place: to provide a charter for Trinity port.” “The selection of a central com- States. To and from Washington travel public officials from all over the United States, private citizens of {all degrees of prominence and lead- ership in national life, having busi- ness with the Government. An air- port that shall be most convenient and adequate for future needs is a first essential.” Mr. Delano listed 10 arguments in favor of the Gravelly Point site. Briefly, they are as follows: 1. It is the most accesible to down- town Washington of any site of com- parable size and freedom from un- controlled hazards. 2. Travel time between the central business district and Gravelly Point is less than one-half the average time prevailing in other cities in the United States. $2,500,000 Outside Cost. 3. A field of adequate size and of the highest standards can be devel- oped within a reasonable period for not exceeding $2,500,000. 4. There is adequate area to extend the airport for future needs. 5. Army engineers estimate the area can be filled in from one to five years, depending upon the rate of appropri- i ations. 6. The work can be co-ordinatea with deepening of the channels of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, saving on future appropriations 7. The airport will be under Federal | control and regulations can be adopt- | ed and enforced to insure safe opera- tions there and at Bolling Field. 8. Precedent for the belief safe op- erations can be conducted from the ‘wo airports is found in the safe op- eration for a number of years of the Army and Navy Airports at Bolling Field and at Washington and Hoover Fields. 9. As between a commercial airport and the military airport for Washing- ton, an intown, convenient location for the commercial airport should take precedence. 10. The sentiments of the public and civic agencies desiring an adequate commercial airport for Washington are united on the Gravelly Point site. These, Delano said, include the District Commissioners, the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- slon, the District Army engineer, the Board of Trade, the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association, the Fed- JUDICIARY SQUAR Head-On Bus-Auto Crash Injures Two Two men were hurt when their sedan and a bus crashed head-on last night in the 1200 block of New York avenue northeast.

Loans Bill to Get Action. The small loans bill, fixing a rate of 2 per cent a month on unpaid monthly balances and regulating fees that may be charged for credit r lports on such loans also will be re- | ported to the Senate this week, Chair- | man King said, if agreeable to Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada, who was out of the city yesterday. During a brief discussion of traffic problems, King complained of allow- ing automobile parking on both sides | of cross-town arteries. He also re- newed the suggestion that the Com- missioners consider a pedestrian regu- lation. similar to one in Salt Lake City. | Utah, where. he said, pedestrians are required to walk with the traffic lights |in the congested section. Asked by Senator Kirg to comment on the traf- fic situation. James G. Yaden. head of the Federation of Citizens’ Asso- | ciations, replied: “The citizens and District authori- | ties are in serious conflict. We object |to the piling up of new regulations. making them more complex, and then not enforcing them. They are not enforcing the regulations.” Traffic Arrests Cited. | Inreply, Corporation Counsel Pretty- man said there were 100,000 traffic arrests last year, and told of educa- | tional campaigns and orders to take more offenders to court instead of giving them tickets. The small courts bill would amend the District public works loan law of the last session to allow the Commis- sioners to apply to Administrator Ickes for a loan for these buildings | without increasing the total authori- zation of $10.750,000 in the original loan law. There is ample leeway under that law, since only $5.500,000 has been allocated to the District for the | sewage disposal plant and the Tubercu- ‘losis Hospital under that authoriza- | tion. ‘ The bill would authorize the plac- ing of these new court buildings in | Judiciary Square as the first step to- ward modifying the original Munici- pal Center program, which the Dis- trict is unable now to finance on the elaborate scale planned when Con- gress directed the District to purchase four squares of property between Third and Sixth streets and Pennsyl- vania and Indiana avenues.

Vernon Road Efforts to bring about control of traffic on the Mount Vernon Memo- rial Highway through a “voice of safety” campaign will be started by park officials at 4 p.m. Tuesday in an attempt to clear up a menacing sit- uation. Meanwhile, Secretary Ickes is con- sidering a minimum speed limit on the highway. ‘With the increasing use of the high- way and the opening of the tourist season, every effort will be made to reduce accidents, C. Marshall Finnan, superintendent of the National Cap- ital parks, sald. The maximum speed limit on the drive now is 45 miles an‘hour. With the four-lane traffic, drivers desiring to make good head- way can travel at this rate on the center lanes, leaving the outer lanes for more lefsurely traffic. Officials will ask Arthur Godfrey. radio announcer, to start the cam- paign off by urging drivers to keep to the side lanes. The greatest traf- fic hazard on the highway is caused by drivers pulling in toward the cen- ter, Mr. Finnan said. 3 The “voice of safety” is being set up on an ordinary park police cruiser. It will not be painted white, as was that employed by the metropolitan police in Washington recently. Secretary Ickes wants the park au- thorities to screen out with planting the railroad yards at Alexandria, Va., and so Finnan's forces will shortly be engaged in this work on the west side of the boulevard. - Federal Tobacco Inspector Urged In Neww Measure '“Government Graded” May Replace Flowery Phrases in Future Ads. he Assoriated Press. | o prosaic words—“Government graded"—may replace the flowery phrases now used in cigarette adver- tising to describe the choice tobaccos In fact, “Government graded” may | become to the cigarette what “bottled in bond” means to whisky.

ACQUITTALVICTORY FOR POLICE FORCE Shotzberger and Wessells Held Within Rights in Assault Charge. The acquittal of Sixth Precinct Po- licemen John I. Shotzberger and Ernest T. Wessells of assault charges in Police Court yesterday was hailed las a victory by the Police Depart- imem. although the two pollicemen | probably will be required to face the | Trial Board to clear their records. The court held that arrest of the wrong person was not illegal if the person arrested had attempted to ob- | | struct justice by representing him- self to be another. | Mistaken for Brother. | After a trial that lasted four aft- ernoons and a part of yesterday, the policemen were acquitted by Judge John P. McMahon of saulted Harrison 4. Fuller, 841 Ingra- ham street, when they arrested him, | mistaking him for his brother, Allen Fuller. They had a parking warrant for Allen. The evidence showed Harrison had slipped out to the alley in the rear of tite Fuller home while all thc mem- bers of the household knew the po- licemen were watching the premises | for Allen. Harrison claimed he was | assaulted in the alley, at the patrol box and while being taken to the sta- | tion house. | In his decision Judge McMahon |said he was convinced from the evi- | dence and the demeanor of Harrison Fuller that the latter had agreed to represent his brother Allen while the latter got away from the house to reach work by 8 o’clock. Policeman Struck First. It was further shown by the evi- |dence, Judge McMahon held, that Harrison struck Shotzberger first when the policeman attempted to place the former under arrest in the alley, that Shotzberger was within his rights in chasing and rearresting Harrison after his escape, that Har- rison was not assaulted by both po- licemen at the box at Eighth and Kennedy streets, as he had claimed. |and that Shotzberger was within his rights in striking the prisoner in the face during the ride to the station hoiise because Harrison apparently struck the policeman first. Judge McMahon further cited the previous traffic arrests of both brothers and the fact that Harrison’s oper- ator’s permit had once been revoked. A e i Cosmic Radiation Topic. Dr. Thomas H.
