VANDERBILT TRAILS INBRIDGE TOURNEY Watsons Quartet and Ja- coby Players in Lead for Championship. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 9.—Despite & 900-point penalty imposed upon their opponents for lateness, Harold 8. Vanderbilt’s second seeded team trailed Louis H. Watson's quartet by 1,370 points at the end of the first half of their 64-hand semi-final match for the Vanderbilt Cup team-of-four contract bridge championship. Oswald Jacoby’s four aces, defend- ing champions, led H. Huber Bosco- witz’s four by 1,510 points. Watson and two of his teammates, Samuel Fry, jr., and Edward Hymes, jr., were 90 minutes late for the afternoon session because they went to see their alma mater, Columbia University, play foot ball against Syra- cuse University. M. D. Mater, fourth member, did not attend. Capt. Alfred M. Gruenther, tourna- ment director, penalized the Watson team 10 points for each minute of delay. Jacoby, David Burnstine, Howard Schenken and Michael T. Gottlieb picked up 1,000 points on the last two hands of their match with Charles Goren of Philadelphia, Charles Loch- ridge, John Rau and A. Mitchell Barnes. Capt. Boscowitz does not play afternoons. Vanderbilt, Waldemar Von Zedtwitz, ‘Theodore Lightner and B. Jay Becker trailed by only 30 points at the end of the first 16 boards. The finals of the tournament will be played Monday and Tuesday. BE Safety i§ ‘(Continued From First Page.) tribution of the pledge cards are John T.

One high-ranking naval official, who asked that his name be withheld, declared that one of Washington's greatest traffic needs is about three times as many policemen as the city now has. Figuring, for the sake of convenience, the cost of a policeman at $2,500, he asserted that 100 addi- tional officers would cost only $250,000. This amount he described as “a mere drop in the bucket,” contending that the city would be saved many times that sum in fewer deaths, accidents, injuries, mental suffering and prop- erty loss reductions. ‘The mere presence of a man in uni- form on the street would deter many reckless drivers, who now roam the streets with abandon, because the National Capital lacks complete and adequate police protection, this naval official asserted. The Navy Department has long had its own safety-driving campaign among its own chauffeurs—rewarding those that are worthy and censuring, - CASH OF EVERGREENS & SHRUBS Large Size Flowering Shrubs, 50¢ Evergreens from 18 inches to 5 feet in many varieties.

Two Iguanas Join Zoo Colony Here The above iguana, tropical American giant lizard, has just arrived here with another to join the already large assemoly of reptiles at the National Zoological Park.

Comdr. Walter R. Janes is assigned to that duty, as well as being in commanc of President Roose- velt’s craft, the Sequoia. Assigned to the Navy Department | are half a dozen official cars, one to | the medical officer at the Capitol, half a dozen at the Navy Yard, four to the dispensary at the Navy Depart- ment, one at the Naval Observatory, | two to the Naval Air Station at Ana- costia and one to the Naval Research Laboratory at Bellevue, D. C. There are some 75 trucks at the Washington Navy Yard, officials said. In addition, the Federal Govern- ment provides parking space at the rear of the Navy and Munitions Build- ings for hundreds of automobiles, at- testing the great numbers that travel to and from work by private machines. They come from Maryland and Vir- ginia, as well as the District, so that, in joining the Star safety drive, the movement is being carried far beyond th. physical boundaries of the city. Rich Results Expected. Officials at the Navy Department believe that the warfare against death, injury and property damage will bear rich results in making the streets of ‘Washington much safer to drive in. “n joining the campaign, the Navy Department is shoulder 3o shoulder with the Post Office and Commerce Departments, a number of inde- pendent offices of the Government, the Naval Reserves and the District National Guard, as well as the Fort Myer, Va, garrison and other public and private groups. The first District public night school to affiliate with The Star Safety Coun- cil is completing the signing of safi driving pledge cards, according to a report recelved by the council. This school, the McKinley Evening High | School, has returned nearly 1.000 | signed pledge cards to The Star Council. “All returns are not yet in, and I am hoping that we wili go above the 1,000 mark,” reported L. 1. McDougle, teacher of civics at the school, who is handling details of the safety drive | there. “This will make McKinley | Evening High School practically 100 | per cent enrolled.” McKinley Evening High School held a “safety assembly” last Monday for discussion of the safety campaign and the enrollment of teachers and stu- dents. The assembly, Mr. McDougle reported, “went off in the very best style and was an outstanding success | in every way.” “The interest in evidence there and | in the class rooms afterward,” he re-| ported, “far exceeded our expectations and I hope this effort will not be for-! gotten by those present. We plan to| carry the campaign forward by vari-| ous means, chiefly thrcugh publicity in our night school paper, the Owl. | The Fall edition of unis newspaper | will be out about Thanksgiving and | will carry an account of the drive.” | The Mount Pleasant Citizens' Asso-! ciation joined the safety campaign as a unit at a meeting last night. At the request of the association, -The Star Safety Council provided 100 safe- | driving pledge cards tor the member- ship of the association. | Church Groups Enlist. | ‘Wholehearted support of the suetyl campaign has been voted by two Bap- | tist church organizations. both of | which are pushing the enrollment of | safe drivers and the geteral purposes of the campaign. The Baptist Ministers’ Conference, under the leadership of Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president, is working among the colored Baptist clergymen of the city in the interest of safety. The conference indorsed the campaign in the following resolution, unanimous!. adopted: “Whereas, The Washington Eve- ning Star is now carrying on a safety campaign to lessen the accidents and deaths in our city by automobiles: Therefore, be it resolved, That the Baptist Ministers’ Conference indorse this campaign and cali upon each member of the conference with auto- mobiles to sign the pledge.” The campaign also has the indorse- ment and support of the Baptist young people of the District of Co- lumbia. The following resolution was adopted unanimously by leaders of the young people’s groups at a convention meeting during the past| week in the Mount Csrmel Baptist| Church: “Whereas, The Washington Eve- PR SALE | 35c to $1.50 Complete Landscape Service LEISSLER’S NURSERIES E.

A, If the controller of the Tennessee Valley Authority should turn out to be the successor to McCarl, it would be rather a coincidence. For McCarl has “mixed it up” with the T. V. A. Under the law, the controller gen- eral was directed to make a check on the T. V. A. expenditures and submit regular reports to the President, Congress and the T. V. A. A report of the controller general last Spring caused a lot of discussion about T. V. A. and its methods of doing business. The matter was fought out before the House Military Affairs Committee which was holding hearings on the hill to extend the authority of the T. NCAS Generally speaking. the T. V. A. of- ficials insisted that they should have more latitude in doing business than is permitted under the regular depart- ments—that the corporation was clothed with the flexibility ¢f a pri- vate enterprise and could carry on free of certain restraints. One of the |’ matters of which the report of the auditors of the controller general TABLE PAD Thanks- giving Special ® Heat-! 56)29 ® Liqui Among the | commercial institutions in which he | complained was that the T. V. A. had not insisted on purchasing all ma- terials through competitive bidding, | | but had used selective bids. McCarl is a stickler for competitive bids for | | purchases by the Government. In the | imd‘ Congress amended the T. V. A. | law, granting the T. V. A, greater pewers and more flexibility, McCarl is a Nebraskan. At one k'.ime he was secretary to Senator | Norris, the father of the T. V. A. act, | if it has one, although the plan for the T. V. A. was one of the first ad- | vanced by President Roosevelt, even before he took office. Before his ap- pointment as controller general by the | late President Harding in 1921, McCarl | was secretary to the Republican Con- | gressional Committee, Rated Presidential Timber, He has locked horns so often with | New Dealers and has been hailed as | a defender of the Treasury to such an extent that his name crept into the discussion of possible Republican presidential candidates. Among the projects of the New‘ Dealers which McCarl has ruled out were a $25,000,000 Canada-to-the-Gulf | tree belt project fostered by the Presi- | dent, and a $100,000,000 slum clear- | ance plan of Secretary Ickes, the P. W. A. administrator. He and Sec- retary Swanson of the Navy had a famous row over the payment of | traveling expenses of naval officers. | More recently, McCarl was credited | with having done the New Dealers a | good turn. He held that funds were | | not available for carrying out the | potato control act, which the adminis- tration did not appear anxious to have enforced. Last Spring Senator Vandenberg, | | Republican, of Michigan introduced a | proposed amendment to the act creat- | ing the office of controller general, the budget act, seeking to make it possible for a controller general to be reap- pointed. Presumably he wanted to have McCarl reappointed to keep an | eye on New Deal expenditures. But even if the amendment had been adopted, which it was not, there seems | to be considerable doubt that President Roosevelt would reappoint McCarl.

Peace Chance Seen Lost. “I think that President Cardenas has lost & new chance for restoring peace in Mexico, while the church has proved once more her good will. History will judge. “This petition made the best im- prussion everywhere, except among the Revolutionary party, which, like all dictators, fears to lose the control of Mexico by granting s little freedom. It would be useless to discuss this answer in which they pile the vulgar commonplaces of the inquisition, wealth of the church, politics and great treason of the clergy and so on. I think these were repeated more for foreign consumption than for the sake of truth and justice. Mexican revolution cannot mention inquisition, weelth, - intervention, bigotry without betraying itself. “It is funny that they charge now the clergy with looking for foreign in- tervention, when the only desire of Mexican Catholics is to end with all foreign intervention by which the revolution has triumphed and is go- ing on. “The answer of.the president is in 810-818 Seventh St. NGSPAL Free Parking—Eye St. at 7th 8,000 Pairs Beautiful New Curtains Greatly Underpriced GROUP NO. 1.—A great collection of styles and materials at this sensational low price in plain and dotted marquisette and other fine n ® Priscillas ® Tailored Curtains ® 6-Piece Cottage Sets ets, ® Lace Panels ¢ Lace Pairs 59« PAIR Plain beauty and excellent work- manship of these new curtains—some of the most charming styles we've ever seen at or anywhere near this spectacular sale price.
