UTILITY BILL TODAY Invites Leaders in Fight for Measure to “Happy Event.” BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. In spite of the congressional hang- over and all his other worries and problems, President Roosevell was manifestly happy today over the pros- pects of putting his signature to the public utility holding companies bill, before the day is over. The President arranged to sign this lJegislation at 3 pm. with a cere- mony in his office to be attended by s little group of those most respon- sible for getting this legislation through Congress. Mr. Roosevelt looks upon this legis- lation as being of major importance and as being a great triumph for his administration, even though the so- called “death sentence” was slightly modified during & compromise be- tween the Senate and House. Instead of an outright “death sen- tence” for so-called undesirable hold- ing companies, the compromise bill provides for something in the nature of a reprieve as to the time for hold- ing companies to dissolve. The compromise legislation delegates to the Securities and Exchange Com- mission authority to decide what hold- ing companies should rate more than one year and what companies should be limited to operate a single utilities system. Something of this kind hgs been a dream of Mr. Roosevelt for many years—long before he ever entertained ideas of becoming President. He started fighting the so-called power trusts back in the days when he was s member of the New York Legis- lature. He continued his fight while Governor of New York and still later during his campaign for the presi- dency. To be with him when he affixes his gignature on the bill this afternoon, Mr. Roosevelt has invited Senator Wheeler of Montana, who led the fight for this bill in the Senate, and Repre- sentative Rayburn of Texas, who was the President’s leader in the House during the fight; Senator Barkley of Kentucky, who was responsible for the compromise which finally Broke the jam which had blocked this legis- lation for more than a month and resulted in its enactment; Benjamin Cohen of the legal department of P. W. A.; Thomas Corcoran of the legal staff of the R. F. C., who had much to do with writing the bill and in working for its passage, and Dozier Devane, counsel for the Federal Power Commission. U.S.JOINS MARYLAND IN HUNT FOR MAHAN Weyerhaeuser Kidnaping Suspect Sought After Asking for Gasoline. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, August 26.—A con- certed search by city, State and Fed- eral authorities was precipitated today | by a report that a man resembling William Mahan, gangster sought in the Weyerhaeuser kidnaping, had been seen near Westminster, Md., heading in this direction in a sedan bearing ©Ohio license plates. The report was strengthened by in- formation that the suspect had ex- hibited ‘an expired “courtesy gasoline card” bearing the name of William Marrell. A Department of Justice agent here said that this was an alias of Mahan. A tip to State police from Joseph Logue, operator of a filling station at Fairground Hill, Westminster, started | the local hunt. Logue said a man drove into his station about 9:30 a.m. Logue reported that the man, poorly dressed and badly in need of a shave, ‘wanted gasoline, but admitted he had no money. He offered the expired courtesy card, and when it was re- fused, drove off toward Baltimore, Logue said. Ickes (Continued Prom First Page.) L. Hopkins’ Works Progress Adminis- tration for checking against relief needs in the area. The President'’s action followed what was viewed as a swing back to the decentralized methods of the old C. W. A. in his efforts to get the ‘works program moving at a faster pace. In a special order he gave Hugh S. Johnson, New York city works progress administrator, authority to spend $35,- 000,000 on projects selected by the latter out of a $46,508,188 list as most desirable, without the necessity of ob- taining Washington approval. Practice to Be Followed. ‘Works officials here said this prac- tice of giving local administrators powers of discretion would be fol- lowed on virtually all forthcoming W. P. A. allotments. Hitherto the President, controller general and di- rector of the budget have been pass- ing on the projects before they have been finally approved. By permitting local administrators to decide which projects should be undertaken, officials sald, minor com- plications could be-adjusted without ! having to refer the whole matter hack to Washington again. Under the Civil Works Administra- tion State and local administrators were given the greatest latitude in selecting the projects on which some 4,000,000 persons were put to work within a short time. The $35,000,000 allotment raised New York's total of W. P, A. funds to more than $153,000,000. R S WORK-RELIEF GRANTS FOR DISTRICT APPROVED $23,064 Is Set Akide for Various Minor Projects in Capital.

He is here to “renew old acquaint- ances” with friends from his home State, among them former Vice Presi- dent Curtis and former Representa- tive James Strong, now an official of the H. 0. L. C. The doctor disavowed any political ambitions or connections brought him here. Nor is he here to continue his fight for the right %e broadcast in the United States. “I am merely calling,” he said, “just R. JOHN R. BRINKLEY, fa- mous as the Kansas goat as any other person on a vacation | might drop in on Washington.” Interested in Politics. Dr. Brinkley, adorned much after the style of iamond Jim"” Brady, talked politics and radie aboard his yacht this morning. But he has no intentions at present to get the two mixed. The man who was narrowly defeat- ed for Governor of Kansas after his name had been ruled off the ballot is still interested in politics nevertheless. He discussed the national situation while he smoked leisurely and as his diamonds flashed with every gesture. On each hand was a huge diamond ring, the largest holding a stone of 12.92 carats. A clasp on his tie was a cluster 2 or more inches long, % of an inch wide. A stickpin, more than an inch-high arch over several larger stones, was in his tie. Two dia- mond-studded lodge pins were in his coat lapel and a diamond-studded charm hung across his vest. Dr. Brinkley is against the Roose- velt administration, against Senator | Huey P. Long, against Dr. Townsend's plan, against Father Coughlin. MAN GETS 180 DAYS FOR POLICE ASSAULT Five Are Accused in Fight Where Officer Received Broken Jaw. One of five men accused of assault- ing Policeman William Bidwell of the ninth precinct last night, breaking his jaw, was given a straight jail sentence of 180 days by Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Police Court today. Bidwell appeared in court with his jaw wired into place and had such difficulty in speaking that the judge was forced to leave his place on the bench to hear the testimony. The man convicted was George Brown, who said he had no fixed address. Ralph Van Peit, 102 U street_southeast; his brother, Robert Van Pelt, 1321 Eleventh street, and Eugene Hawkins, 1108 H street north- east, all demanded jury trials.

By the Associated Press. INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa., August 26.—A mystery airplane, bearing the colors but not the insignia of the United States Army, dropped pamph- lets into the 3d Army Corps camp which officers said were “undoubtedly Communistic.” ‘The literature, urging the soldiers to “organize and fight for your rights,” fell into the camp of 15,000 National Guardsmen and regulars on “visitors day” afternoon yesterday, while thou- sands of relatives and friends were present. Plane Not Identified. ‘The plane swooped low, but officers, preparing for the greatest peace-time maneuvers of troops in America, said neither it nor its pilot were identified. ‘The eight-page papers urged, among other things: That the soldiers demand the right to organize committees to direct their activities, That they ask $30 a month pay in- stead of $21. That they ask the War Department not to use the Guards or Army in do- mestic uprisings. Action Unannounced. Officers declined to say whether they were forwarding the literature to the ‘War Department. It is entitled “The Soldier'’s Veice,” with the subtitle, “Special Maneuvers Edition.” There is no recourse at law other than prosecution for trespass for those who visit training camps to distribute literature, Army men said. Mimeographed pamphlets criticizing Army rations were distributed when troops left Baltimore August 17. » GUARDSMAN RESCUED. Frederick Man Dragged From Burning Tent at Camp.

Stanley Patrick Williams, 6, thought he was having huge fun last Monday afternoon when_he was chasing chick- ens belonging to the old man next door in the 2600 block of Pierson place southeast. But Douglas knew he shouldn't bother the chickens, knew that the neighbor would be angry when he found one of his hens had been lamed by a stick thrown by Stanley. He called upon Stanley to stop. “He just laughed, sir,” he explained this morning, “and threw another stick at them.” “What did you do, Douglas?” “I threw a stone at him.” “Was it a big stone?” “No, sir.” Douglas is small. “Did it hit him?” “Yes, sir.” “Was he far away?” “Yes, sir, 'bout from here to that tree.” away.

This morning he was in the inclosed yard of the home, stiting quietly on a bench, while about 30 other boys of his age or a few years older played with a ball or sat talking. Brought out to see a visitor, he looked ques- tioningly, not afraid, but still be- wildered, still wondering why his brother was dead, why he was being kept away from his home. “Has any one been to see you?" “My sister.” The tree was about 30 feet | d to Slay.

Or it could be held there indefinitely | for protracted hearings. . Under the latter procedure, adjourn- ment of Congress could be delayed for | days or weeks. White House Victory Seen. The swift and overwhelming action of the House in support of the ad- jecurnment resolution greatly encour- | aged the administration leaders in that body in the belief that the House would back up the President if he stands .firm against the cotton and wheat loan amendments. G. O. P. Senators Leave. So sure were many of the Senators and Representatives that adjournment would take place Saturday night that they had made all their plgns to leave Washington, and some of them went through with those plans. Among those who have shaken the dust of | Washington from their feet are Sen ator McNary of Oregon, Senato | Hastings of Delaware and Sgpator | Vandenberg of Michigan, Republicans. | Some of those who have gone away may, of course, return, if a situation | develops in which they will be needed. What the House Democratic leaders sought to do Saturday was to adjourn Congress without acting on the de- ficiency bill, letting it die and the cotton and wheat amendments with it The President, it was said, could find the money needed for starting the operation of the economic security act and for other purposes some- where else—presumably from the $4,880,000,000 work relief fund. It looked very much Saturday night as though the bill would be allowed to die. Both houses had adopted the adjournment resolution and had 12 midnight arrived before the Senate was given an opportunity to recon- sider the vote by which it agreed» to the adjournment resolution, it was held that both houses would auto- matically adjourn and the session end. Picture Is Changed. Today, however, the picture is vast- ly different.. The adjournment reso- lution vote has beer rescinded by the Senate and that resolution is before the Upper House again, waiting for Senator Robinson to call 1t up at an opportune time. The resolution called for adjournment August 24, and 1t will have to be amended by the Sen- ate or a new one drawn. Presumably the Democratic lead- ers and the President are not anxious to have the President placed In a | position where he will have to back down on his cotton loans of 9 cents and acoept the 12-cent loans, plus the 90-cent loans on wheat. Nor do they wish him to be called upon to veta the bill. It would be bad politics. e Rail Stations Closed. Many additional railway stations in.
