KENTUCKY FIANCEE VIGTIM OF BULLET Gen. Denhardt to Have Wed Mrs. Taylor, His Sister Reveals. B the Assoctated Press. LA GRANGE, Ky, November 7.— Brig. Gen. H. H. Denhardt was en- gaged to marry, comely, dark-eyed Verna Garr Taylor, who was killed while riding with him last night, Gen. Denhardt’s sister said today. An inquest into the death will be held Tuesday or Wednesday. Denhardt could not be reached for a statement, but at his farm several miles from here, his sister received callers with the statement that he was asleep, worn out by the tragedy. The sister, who declined to give her own name, said Gen. Denhardt told her Mrs. Taylor took his .45 pis- tol out of his car and walked up the road to look for her gloves, and that soon afterward he heard two shots, one of which went through his flancee’s heart. Denhardt and Mrs. Taylor, 40- year-old widow and member of & prominent Oldham County family, were engaged, the sister said, and both families favored the match, ex- cept Mrs. Taylor's daughters, who are 17 and 22 years old. They did not want Mrs. Taylor to marry anybody, the sister said, and suggested that distress over this situation may have led Mrs. Taylor to kill herself. Coroner D. L. Ricketts of Henry County said he understood George Baker, a farmer, was with Denhardt about the time the shots were fired. Ricketts would not discuss the case until he completed his inquiry. Mrs. Taylor's body was found in & ditch beside the La Grange-New- castle highway by J. B. Hundley, La Grange barber. Hearings on D. C. Budget Proposals Start Tomorrow Executive hearings on the 1938 budgetary proposals of the Dis- trict Commissioners will be started by officials of the Budget Bureau tomorrow, after a postponement of a week. The Commissioners request ap- propriations totaling $47,895,000, or almost $7,500,000 more than general fund revenues now ex- pected to be collected during the next fiscal year, calculated at present rates. A budget of the proposed size would entail either a boost in the Federal payment or in taxes, or possibly both. The highway budget, in fact, contemplates an increase in the gasoline tax from 3 to 3 cents a gallon. Because of the financial situa- tion, the Commissioners have di- vided the budget into two parts, the first providing only for main- tenance and operation expenses, plus contractural obligations. It is expected even this will exceed Tevenues next year by some $3,- 000,000, according to Budget Offi- cer Daniel J. Donovan. CAPE_Black seal. 3 vert Hall Food Show and 1d.__Columbia 0840.

The ques- tioning of Donovan, however, coupled with the reorganization discussions injected into the first public hearing of the committee two weeks ago by Roberts himself, indicates the subject is receiving serious consideration. Defends D. C. Expenses. Donovan opened the hearing with a strong defense of the operating ex- |penses of the District, as compared | with those of other municipalities of comparable size, and then served as a “master of ceremonies,” introducing the depariment heads that followed him on the witness stand. Likewise he brought the hearing to a close by denouncing the “over> | lordship” of the Federal Government in checking municipal expenses, since so little of its funds are involved. His reference to “over-lordship” re- ferred to the activities of' the division | of bookkeeping and accounts of the | Treasury Department, and the gen- eral accounting office, which keeps a | close check on all District expendi- tures. These details, he declared, should be centered in his own office. “The overlordship would be all right,” Donovan said, “if the Fed- eral Government goes back to the| percentage basis of contributing to District expenses, and makes a pay- ment of 25, 40 or 50 per cent of the total.” Donovan began his testimony by emphasizing.” that the standafds of service in the District are fixed by | Congress and the Federal Govern- ment. He called particular atten- tion to the budget-making procedure, saying: “The Budget Bureau uses a little stub pencil which it squeezes, and one and one have got to make two.” A few minutes later, he picked up an editorial in The Evening Star Frie day, headed “Local Government Costs,” and said he wanted to read it because it was “so splendidly to | | the point.” Jacobs, George McAneny, chairman and Clarence A. Dykstra, city manager of Cincinnati, another member, all admitted thes had read it. “And,” added Dykstra, “I enjoyed it very much.” President Roosevelt Quoted. Donovan then read an excerpt from |the President’s remarks on his re- turn to Washington Friday to find its disfranchised residents turned out cn masse to greet him. “‘I have seen Washington grow during this half century and I am very proud and happy as an Ameér- ican in this wonderful Capital of ours, for it is not only the most beautiful city in all the world, but I think it is one of the grandest cities to live in, in all the world’” Dono- van quoted the President. ‘Then, Donovan explained, the rea- son it is the most beautiful city in the world is because the Federal Gov- ernment, since 1878, participated “lib- erally” in its development. He de- clared, however, that if the city is to continue to develop and enjoy its prestige as the most beautiful in the world the Federal Government must do more than it has in recent years toward paying the expenses of the municipal government. A mass of statistics was submitted to the committee by Donovan. One of the statements, based on Census Bureau figures, compared per capita operating and maintenance costs in Washington with those in 10 other cities—Cincinnati, Baltimore, Los An- geles, Detroit, Bostdn, Rochester, Min- neapolis, Buffalo, Pittsburgh and San Francisco. Although certain operating costs in Washington appeared excessive in comparison with those of some of the other cities listed, he explained that this situation is due to “unique con- ditions.” ‘The influence of the Federal Gov- ernment on the District was men- tioned as one of these “unique con- ditions,” but he placed particular stress on another element—operating costs—which in many other city gov- ernments are treated as county and State expenditures. In illustration, he presented another statement showing that of the $36,758,640 charged up to operating expenses in the 1937 appro- priation act, $8,374,053 represent items which are treated in other jurisdic- tions as county and State rather than city expenses. 30 Exceptional Items Listed. ‘Thirty items were listed by Dono- van to make up the $8,374,053 which he said should not be properly charged to operating costs for comparison with operating expenses ,of other ecities. The larger items Mcluded support of the insane, $2,233,800; emergency re-. lief, $1,600,000; United States Court for the District, $354,720; United States Court of Appeals, $128,000; tu- berculosis hospital and sanatorium, TERMITES: otk S o detected. $ 5 Take Advantage of Our Free Inspection TERMITE CONTROL CeO. 4 Washington-Owned Company W.

Ballou, superintend- ent of schools, told the committee the cost of education in Washington is “comparatively high,” but contended this was not because of inefficient management, but because of the city’s requirement that a superior type of education be afforded children here. Factors over which school authori- ties have no control, he said, con- tribute to the relatively high cost of running the Capital’s school system. Among the more important of these factors, he said, are the dual system necessitated by the operation of sepa- rate schools for white and colored children, duplication of administra- tive work due to the dual set-up, con- gressionally fixed salaries of teachers and other employes, and elasticity in the rules for admission, adjustment and promotion of pupils. “The school authorities admit,” Dr. Ballou testified, “that the cost of edu- cation is comparatively higher here, in some respects, than in some other cities, but the school authorities maintain that we are serving the wishes of the parents and are pro- viding a quality of instruction which justifies the cost and which is in keeping with the dignity of the Na- tion's Capital.” Presentation Is Complimented. Dr. Ballou's presentation of the school’'s “case” so impressed members of the committee that he was the recipient of compliments from them. Dykstra interrupted at one point to remark that the school superin- tendent had “made out a good case™ and to suggest that he “make out a similar case before the District Com- | missioners.” “I do make this case out before the Commissioners, and they are always reasonable,” Dr. Ballou responded. “I make out the case before the Budget | Bureau, and they usually cut the | estimates. I make them out again be- | fore committees of Congress, and they | | are reduced some more. I always feel i sort of humiliated to think that I have | failed to make out a better case.” | “I wish I could help you,” Dykstra said. “I wish you could, too,” Ballou replied, smilingly. | “You could help by giving us a larger Federal appropriation so that | we would have more to spend on | schools,” Donovan interposed, as ; committee members and spectators | Jaughed. | Dr. Ballou pointed out that the | 90,000 District school children are housed in 176 school buildings. Until recent years, he said, the capacity of senior high schools as well as elemen- | tary schools was smaller than in most | cities. High schools did not enroll | more than 1,000 pupils, on an average, whereas in most cities, the enrollment ranges from 2,000 to 5,000. ‘The school superintendent, in re- sponse to questions, said there are more than 50 school buildings here a half century or more old. There are 75 old buildings of the antiquated 8- room type, which are expensive to operate. The new building program, he explained, calls for 16-room build- ings, which are more economical. Many class rooms house more than the 40 pupils deemed the maximum for good administration, the com- mittee was told. pe'rhe acm:;l ;yftem needs $5,000,000 T year ring it uj needs, he dechred‘. Sl Situation Termed “Difficult.” The educational situation in the District is “difficult,” he asserted, with registration increasing all along the line, The enrollment increases apply to senior and junior high schools as well as primary grades, he said. There are 3,000 non-resident pupils, he said, in response to another com- mittee query. He estimated it cost $250,000 a year to educate these pu- pils from Maryland and Virginia. Salaries of school officers are “rela- tively low,” he said, and those of teachers are “not relatively high.” Salaries of some of the clerical and Jjanitorial employes are higher than in some jurisdictions, but these wages are fixed by law and the school authorities have no choice but to pay the designated amounts. Dr. Ballou also called attention to the shifting population in Washing- ton, bringing changes in the school population.

As Ballou concluded, Chairman Mc- Aneny vouchsafed that the school superintendent had presented his side of the picture “very well.” Police Services Discussed. Maj. E. W. Brown, superintendent of Ppolice, told the committee that *spe- cial Federal services” occupy a con- siderable amount of the time of the Metropolitan Police Department. Such services are ‘expensive, he said. Because of the confidential nature of many of the special services ren- dered as a result of Washington's status as the seat of the National Government, Brown said he could not discuss these services in detail in open hearing. His offer to submit a statement on this subject was accepted by the committee. The police chief said the special Federal work so far this year has consumed 9,968 full days of police work at a cost of $71,968. Last year 9,367 days were devoted to such work, at a cost of $67,629. In 1934 there were 13,832 days of special services, costing $99,867, and in 1933 there were 36,472 days, costing $337,549. Brown explained the increase in 1933 was due to work incident to the inauguration of President Roosevelt, coupled with a “hunger march” on the Capital. He said the special services included in the estimates in- clude parades of a purely Federal character, but not Halloween or other civic demonstrations, Washington, he said, stands fourth among half a dozen cities of com- parable size in strength of police force. It is third among these cities in the number of police per 1,000 of Ppopulation. ‘The city's 1,430 policemen cover 69.2 square miles with a population of 619,000, he stated. There is an average of one policeman for every 19.73 square miles and an average of 2.2 policemen for every 1,000 per- sons in the District, he testified. Welfare Work Detailed. Elwood Street, director of public welfare, pointed out that public wel- fare services in the District “bear a fictitious appearance of being unduly | high in comparison with other Amer- ican cities” He cited a number of reasons, mentioning specifically that | the District combined the public wel- fare services of a State, & county and a city. Street also emphasized that the welfare services in the District are inadequate, and cited as a conspicu- ous example the overcrowding of penal institutions and the inadequacy of relief plants. Street said that in 40 of the 48 States public welfare functions in general are performed by counties rather than by cities. Even where there is a city public welfare system, he said, institutions for juvenile de- linquents, for “problem children,” etc., are operated by the county as are those forms of relief found in mothers’ pensions, general relief and old-age assistance, as well as the care of the aged and infrm and the confinement of short-time prisoners in the work- house. In many counties also, he declared, the general public hospitals and the jails are operated by the county rather than by the city. “Another inaccuracy in computation of welfare costs comes from differences in accounting and budgeting proce- dure,” said Street. “In the District of Columbia appropriation act for1937, under ‘Department of Public Welfare," the first item is ‘for personal services, $115,300" This looks as though it might be administrative costs. It 's not. The cost of the office of the Department of Public Welfare in the District of Columbia is only $23,829, as planned for 1937, Of it one-third, or $7,940, might be ‘charged each to normal State administration, county administration and city administra- tion—if these services were separate. “The other items in this $115,300 are $66,300 for the personnel of the Child Welfare Divislon, whose work of placing children in foster homes would normally be & county activity, and $25,180 for the permit office. This sum would, normally, be divided on & 50.50 basis between county and city services—or if the hospitals and medi- cal charities were in the county ad- ministration, would be completely a part of the county’s expenditures.” Street said for the various reasons he outlined it is “quiet clear” that SAVEY40% ..

What the District of Columbia needs, in spite of this admittedly high cost because of peculiar conditions, is not less expenditure, but more ex- penditure, so that our community may give more service, and more adequate and effective service, to meet the hu- man needs of the community and t» protect it against the effects of dis- ease, destitution, dependency and de- linquency.” Capt. Herbert C. Whitehurst, direc- tor of highways, defended Washington street paving costs in comparison with | similar costs in other cities. He pointed out that one of the reasons for the higher costs is the fact that the streets here are wider than in most cities. He also called attention to the cost of the | District of street improvements around | Government reservations, which are reflected in the total of maintenance and operating costs of the District. In the last few years, Capt. wm:e-; hurst said, more than $250,000 of Dis- | | trict funds were spent on street im- | | provements in the vicinity of the | Capitol. Now the Highway Depart- | ment, he declared, is engaged in im- [pra\'mg the streets around the new Department of Interior Building. Capt. Whitehurst called the com- mittee’'s attention to what he con- | sidered “errors” made by the Census Bureau in its compilation of highway | | costs relating to Washington since 1933. These errors, he said, consisted maintenance which were included in | the Census Bureau's reports, that, if | eliminated, would reduce the figures | for the per capita operating costs in the District. $3.30 Held Correct Figure. ‘The Census Bureau report, accord- ing to Whitehurst, showed that the per capita highway cost in the Dis- trict for the 1935 fiscal year was $4.65, but if the so-called “errors” were cor- | rected, the per capita figure would be | reduced to $3.30. Capt. Whitehurst, however, said he | | did not believe in comparing highway | | expenditures on a per capita basis, be | cause cities used in the comparative | ! studies all differed in the square yards | of paving per person. In Washington, | | he said, the per capita is slightly over | 25 square yards, while in Detroit, | | which ranks next in per capita costs, the figure is 22.63. Highway repair standards in Wash- | ington, Capt. Whitehurst expalined, are higher than those in most other cities, yet the cost here is lower. Studies made from records kept by the Bureau of Public Roads, he said, show that the cost of repairs in Washington, us- ing an 8-inch base as a standard, amounted to $2,92 per square yard. In Boston, he declared, the cost is $3.10; in Richmond, Va, $3.34; in Philadelphia, $3.09, and in Baltimore, $3.32. He said the large number of bridges in Washington contributed also to the high maintenance cost. Drawbridges require more maintenance money than the stationery type, he explained. The abnormal growth of Washing- ton in the last few years, coupled with the insufficient highway appro- priations, Capt. Whitehurst stated, has forced the Highway Department to build a number of temporary streets, which, he predicted, “are going to bring & terrible expense on us in years to come.” ‘Whitehurst emphasized 'that the cost of virtually all highway work is financed out of the gasoline tax fund, to which the Federal Government does not contribute a cent, since it is ex- ::npt from payment of the gasoline X, Jacobs, however, reminded Capt. Whitehurst that the motorists through- out the country who come to Wash- ington on visits contribute a “substan- Have All the Advantages of Summe Sunshine in Your Own Home Get any of the following Ulira Viclet Sunshine Lamps and enjoy a sun bath in the privacy of your own bedroom.

In the discussion that followed, Dykstra sald that while the streets in Washington are a little wider than those in other cities, the per capita cost of highway operation and main- tenance is not an element in the per capita cost to the taxpayer, since street and road improvements are financed out of the gas tax revenues collected from motorists. Refuse Supervisor Speaks, Willlam A. Xanten, supervisor of city refuse, presented statistics showing that although Washington's popula- tion has jumped by leaps and bounds, appropriations for collection of city refuse have increased only $200,000 since 1920. ‘There is but one “white wing” per 4 miles of highway (8 curb miles) he pointed out.

By the Associated Press. MUNICH, Germany, November 7.— Adolf Hitler's “beer cellar putsch,” thousands of Germans paid homage tonight to the 16 Nazis who lost their lives in that unsuccessful uprising. Nazis from all Germany flocked into Munich and crowded around 16 mas- sive pylons in the center of the city. Each was inscribed with the name of a Nazi slain in the encounter with Assessor William P. Richards to the | regular troops November 9, 1923, when effect that acquisitions by the Pederal Government of District property caused no loss in tax assesments be- cause of the increased values of prop erty surrounding Federal develop- ments. He faid the figures show a loss in assessments due to such ac- quisitions, Battalion Chief Edward R. Pierce of the Fire Department testified that the $3.71 per capita cost of operation and maintenance for his department as shown in the Census Bureau's figures for 1935 “might seem a little high,” but explained that this is due to various elements. He mentioned the 26-day annual leave granted mem- bers of the department, which firemen in other cities do not enjoy, as well as the seventh day off under the two- platoon system, which many other municipalities do not grant members | of their fire departments. Pierce also brought out that the Fire Department's personnel problem might be made more serious if a rul- ing expected to be made this week by Maj.
