SENATE RECEIVES DEFICIENGY BILL $112,762,870 Total Includes| Funds for Two District School Items. After adding $492,560 for various Government agencies, including two District public school items, the Sen- ate Appropriations Committee today reported out the deficiency bill, carry- ing $112,762,870. The two local school items are: To equip commercial classes in the junior and senior high schools, $15,000; to recondition Adams Administration Building for use as an elementary school, §20,000. Although the bill as reported does not contain the $6,000,000 building program for the Government Print- ing office, to replace old structures, there is still & possibility this amend- ment may be offered when the bill is taken up in the Senate. * Further Steps Await Parley. As a result of a brief discussion of the Printing Office housing problem today Senator Hayden, Democrat, of | Arizona, said he would confer with Chairman Fletcher of the Printing Committee and Chairman Connally of the Public Buildings and Grounds | Committee before deciding what fur- | ther steps to take regarding the build- ing amendment. The group of old buildings at the | printing office were described as fire hazards and some of them as being unsafe, in a special report submitted | to Congress recently by Public Printer | Giegengack. These buildings, some of which were erected before the Civil War, are on | the west side of North Capitol street | between Jackson alley and H street. | The public printer attached to his report the findings of the District Engineer Department, after an in- spection made in January of these several old printing office buildings. Warns of Conditions. “Building conditions at the G. O. P. present a situation so serious that unless action is promptly taken to | replace antiquated and unsafe build- ings, loss of life and destruction of | millions of dollars’ worth of Govern- | ment property may be expected,” the | public printer's report stated. The public printer said this condi- tion is cne which has been growing steadily worse and pointed out that the need for replacement of the older | buildings has been referred to in the | annual report of former public printer for a number of years “The remedy lies in the hands of Congress—to provide authority and | funds for replacement of the struc- turally dangerous and highly inflam- mable old buildings,” the report con- | tinued. The public printer called at- | tention to the quick action of (he; District Fire Department “in gaining | control over two serious fires that have started in the old buildings” in the past. | | tached to the U.

Benjamin Weiman, 17, of 1201 Fifth street, suffered lacerations of the scalp and shock yesterday after- noon when thrown from his horse near Potomac Park.

NEW DEAL FIGHTS FORTOBAGEO ACT Carolina Case Questions Validity of Excess Pro- duction Tax. BY REX COLLIER. ‘The Government's legal staff went to battle today in defense of the con- stitutionality of another New Deal measure, the Kerr-Smith tobacco act. Validity of this act, levying heavy taxes on tobacco produced outside the administration’s crop reduction pro- gram, is the issue of an important test case which came to trial this morning before Judge Hayes in the Federal District Court at Greens- boro, N. C. ‘This case, known as Motsinger versus Robertson, is the second brought under the tobacco act, but may be the first to be decided on its merits. The first case was argued recently in Louisville, Ky., before Fed- eral Judge Charles 1. Dawson, reputed critic of New Deal legislation, but Judge Dawson indicated he doubted his jurisdiction. Case Puzzled Judge. Judge Dawson, in announcing that he was puzzled as to his right to hear the case, let it be known that he doubted the constitutionality of the | Kerr-Smith act. He asked Govern- | ment counsel to prepare briefs on the | point of his jurisdiction in the case. | In view of Judge Dawson's expressed | opposition to “rewriting the Consti- | tution by legislation” and his action in declaring unconstitutional the N. R. A and the slum-clearance program, the Government probably would not diction in the Louisville case. Robert Nelson Anderson, special as- sistant to Attorney General Cum- mings, and John J. Abt, special attor- ney for the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, have gone to Greens- boro to represent the Government in the litigation. Anderson also appeared for the Department of Justice in the Louisville suit. Taxed Up to 33's Per cent. Under the Kerr-Smith act the A. A. A. levies a tax of from 25 to 33'3 per cent on tobacco not covered by a Gov- ernment crop reduction contract. This tax is attacked on the grounds that it is not for revenue purposes, but a means of regulating tobacco pro- Under the | Constitution, it is claimed. the Fed- | eral Government has no authority to | regulate intrastate industry. Similar issues already have been raised in seven other suits against the | A. A. A, involving processing and | floor stock taxes. A third suit against the Kerr-Smith | WoODWARD act, known as Gholson vs. Wallace, has been brought in the Federal Dis- trict Court for the middle district of Tennessee. No date has been fixed for hearing in that case. INJURED IN TRAFFIC Pedestrian Is Struck by Street Car as He Avoids Auto. Stepping out of a safety zone lasi night to avoid being hit by an auto- mobile, Rocklin Duke, 39, 465 G street, was hurt when hit by a street car. He was treated at Emergency Hospital for slight injuries to the face. Duke told police he thought an ap- proaching automobile was going to run through the safety zone at Third street and Pennsylvania avenue where he was standing. e Theater Robbed of $1,000. NEW YORK (#).—Three robbers didn't have tickets for the Farragut Theater in Brooklyn, but they got into the place without much trouble. The trio accosted Manager Ted Barker less than a block from his home after he had closed the theater for the night. Brandishing pistols, they forced him to return to the theater with them and open the safe. They helped them- selves to $1,000 in week end receipts and then departed in an automobile, taking the manager with them. They finally dropped him far from homs Ve s e DAILY SPECIALS TUESDAY, MARCH 19TH PURE ¢ANDIES Chocolate Covered Peppermint Patties 40¢ Value—fwil pownd English Style Rum Toffee 50¢ Value—full pound Chocolate Covered Gloss Peanuts and Raisins 50¢ Value—full pound Broken Milk Chocolate 40¢ Value—full pound 17¢ Home Made Almond Coffee Ring 30¢ Value 15¢ AT THE FOUNTAINS Chicken Salad Sandwich 15¢ and Coffee regular 25¢ Chocolate Sundae reguler 15¢ 1o¢ Buttered Toast with Tea or Coffee regaler 20¢ JO¢ 10¢ Coffee Ice Cream Soda regular 15¢ 186 SBf STORES-One near yor 1107 F_St. N.W. 3102 14th St. N.W. 3115 M St. N.W., 800 7th St. N.W. 1103 H St. N.E. 19¢ 2¢ 2¢ L —mX XY & LoTrHROP MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1935, FENERTY TO SPEAK AT HIBERNIAN FETE Pennsylvania Representative to Give Address at Dinner Observ- ing St. Patrick’s Day.
