JURISDICTION ROW ON ROAD DELAYED U. S. Lawyers Study Puzzle of Authority—Speeding Case Postponed. A court battle to decide which police |- have the right to arrest speeding mo- dorists on the six-tenths of a mile of roadway near Washington Airport was halted today while the attorneys of the Department of Interior thumbed through legal volumes in search of a solution. The test case to settle jurisdiction over the roadway, which leads to the Highway Bridge, was scheduled to come up in Police Court today, but Wwas postponed at the request of As- #istant District Attorney David A. Hart until next PFriday. The center of the legal battle, Clar- ence Brown of 314 Seventeenth street northeast, who was arrested yesterday on a charge of driving 38 miles an hour by Park Policeman E. S. Mast, declared he would carry the fight to higher courts, if necessary, to deter- mine legal phases of the case. Both Virginia and the District claim Jurisdiction over the stretch. which business men in the neighborhood claim is “a race track.” Park police last week installed a 22-mile speed limit sign. | In the past, however, cases of speeding filed by park police have been dismissed in Virginia and Dis- trict courts for lack of jurisdiction. | Brown was permitted to give his| personal bond pending the postponed hearing. Mast said today he hopes to have | Thomas C. De Lozier of 128 Massa- | chusetts avenue arraigned before | Judge John P. McMahon, who granted | the postponement today. Mast stated he arrested De Lozier for speeding on | the same stretch of road last week, | but that De Lozier had failed to ap- | Pear in court. A warrant was issued | for him today.

STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., FRIDAY, JULY 17. GLAVIS LEAVES INTERIOR POST Veteran Investigator Takes Senate Job for Less Salary. Louis Russell Glavis, storm center of the Department of Interior on two occasions a quarter of a century spart, had left the department's post of chief investigator today, this time to be- come, at & reduced salary, an in- vestigator for the Senate Campaign Expenditures Investigating Committee. Glavis began at once to prepare a questionnaire to be sent nominees for President, Vice President and the Senate. The committee said the nominees would be asked the nature and extent of their political expenses, Official announcement of Glavis’ resignation, disclosed last week, was issued formally by Secretary Ickes, Glavis' chief, yesterday, along with an exchange of letters of good wishes between the parting associates. Removed 25 years ago by President Taft after a departmental feud de- veloped over his uncovering of irregu- larities in Alaskan coal lands, Glavis was restored in 1933 by Ickes as chief investigator. The Secretary and Gla- vis were reported to have disagreed recently over certain policies. In the Interior Department Glavis is succeeded by Bradley B. Smith, Little Rock, Ark.. assistant director, who becomes head of the division of investigations. In announcing the resignation, Ickes made public letters between him and Glavis. Glavis wrote his chief he was leaving to accept another ap- which Ickes replied “We are in agreement as to the im- | portance and immediacy of this as- | signment and I see in it, as do you, & call that you could not lightly refuse.” A native of Maryland, Glavis, 53 vears old, first entered the Interior | Department in 1904 as a special agent. He was admitted to the California bar in 1914, Gov. Olson Improves. ROCHESTER, Minn., July 17 (#).— | Physicians of the Mayo Clinic ex- pressed hope today that Gov. Floyd B.

The Governmept personnel in Washington exceeds the war peak, and the civilian army on the Federal pay roll is so staggering in Washington and throughout all the States—independent of C. C. C. and other relief agencies—that exact fig- ures cannot be obtained. The big ob- jective is to give the taxpayer the maximum value in service for his dol- |1ar.” Senator Byrd would follow the same plan in Federal reorganization that he pursued in reorganizing the Vir- ginia State government. When elected Governor in 1926 he “found a deficit of $2,500,000 and a cumbersome and antiquated system of State govern- ment.” There were 100 bureaus and agencies with much duplication and overlapping. He left office with nearly $4.000,000 surplus, and mean- while had greatly reduced the tax bur- den in seven different ways, by a total of $3,500,000. In working on State Government reorganization, Byrd engaged the Bu- reau of Municipal Research, New York, of which Luther Gulick was chief, to make an exhaustive study of the State Government. Then he appointed a committee of 25 business men with William T. Reed, head of the Edge- worth Tobacco Co., as chairman, to go over the report of the experts and eliminate such proposals as seemed impractical, and the result was the adoption of the reorganization pro- gram in one act, without a single dis- senting vote in either branch of the Legislature, although 65 boards, bu- reaus and commissions were eliminated and the other 35 were consolidated in 12 departments. Bill Offered January 20. On January 20 Senator Byrd intro- duced a resolution for appointment of a special Senate committee with full power to investigate and bring into the next Congress a plan for consoli- dation, simplification of expenditures and to avoid duplicating activities. This was passed a month later. Byrd was made chairman and the other members are: . Senators Robinson, Arkansas, Democratic leader; NcNary, Oregon, Republican leader; O'Mahoney, Democrat, Wyoming, and Townsend, Delaware, chairman of the Republican Senatorial Committee. On March 12 Chairman Byrd an- nounced appointment of an advisory committee of five leading experts on the subject and that some fact-finding agency would be engaged by the com- mittee to make the preliminary study. On the advisory board were appointed: Chairman, Louis Brownlow, former - | District Commissioner, now director of the Public Administration Clearing House, Chicago; Luther Gulick, New York, director of the Institute of Public Administration (which did the fact- finding for Gov. Byrd in Maryland); William Tudor Gardiner of Boston, formerly Governor of Maine; H. W. Axitbtl w’:‘, et‘% by_any one other than acte: myselt. VINCENT FUSCHINI *637 11th st_ne . ES.

Those oo House Committee. The House committee appointed to co-operate in the reorganization effort is composed of Chairman Buchanan of the Appropriations Committee, Chairman John J. Cochran of the Committee on Expenditures, Repre- sentative Prentiss M. Brown of Michi- gan, Representative. Frederick M. Lehlbach of New Jersey, former chair- man of the House Civil Service Com- mission, and Representative James W. Wadsworth of New York—the latter two Republicans. The Senate committee was given an appropriation of $50,000 to make its study, and the deficiency appropria- tion bill carried two items of $100,000, inserted for the President’s Committee after Controller General McCarl had Tuled that other funds could mot be transferred for this work without specific authority in law, and the second item of $20,000 requested by the House committee headed by Mr. Buchanan. This latter item was ac- companied by a mandatory clause authorizing the Buchanan Committee to commandeer assistance from the various Government establishments. In selecting the Brookings Institu- tion to make his fact-finding studies, Senator Byrd has selected an agency which has been specializing in Gov- ernment reorganization research for many years—ever since Robert S.

When the Senate in 1928 undertook an investigation of unemployment and some Senators feared political use might be made of it, Senator Couzens proposed that the Brookings Institution should be engaged, and its investigators were named as economic counsel to the Senate committee.

Constipation is dangerous for anybody. Nujol is safe for every- body. It does not affect the stomach and is not absorbed by the body. Medical authorities approve Nujol because it is 30 safe, so gentle and so natural in its action. Nujol makes up for a defi- ciency of natural lubricant in the intestines. It softens the waste matter and thus permits thorough and regular bowel movements without griping.

The present intensive study for the Senate Committee on Reorganization is in charge of Fred W.
