Inspector Bernard W. Thompson, chief of detectives, Sergt. Joseph Shimon, who flew’ to New York to lead the raid, informed him in a telephone conversation last night that he had identified the valu- ables and was shipping them to Wash- ington by airmail. The detective chief also was told Shimon was planning another raid sometime today. ‘Two men were arrested in the raid on the jewelry store, located in the Bronx. Shimon yesterday was quoted by the Associated Press as saying the raid was made on information ob- tained from George Garcia, 25, & Cuban, who was arrested here several «days ago in connection with the series of robberies. Garcia, described as the notorious “full-dress burglar,” was still being held for investigation at the third pre- cinct today. No charges have been placed against him, but Inspector Thompson said he has been identified ‘with at least 20 of the robberies. A pair of foreign-made scissors, which had been stolen from the home of Michael MacWhite, Irish Free State Minister, played an important part in linking Garcia with the New Year eve burglary of MacWhite's apart- ment, it was revealed today. After the diplomat had reported the theft of the scissors and $50 in cash, he was asked to visit police headquarters. He identified the shears, which had been found in Garcia'’s home in the 1700 block of N street. The men arrested in New York were Antonio Vazquez, 36, proprietor of the store, and Elpidio Padron, 32. The proprietor was charged with criminally recelving stolen goods and Padron with carrying a dangerous weapon, & knife. Shimon and the New York de- tectives who aided him in raiding the store, found unset diamonds, stick- pins, diamond rings and other val- uables said to be worth more than $10,000. Among the articles was a gold mesh bag bearing the inscrip- tion “J. W. S. to J. H. S,, '36.” Pickpockets, holdup men and auto- mobile thieves obtained more than 3250 in cash, clothing and other ar- ticles here last night, police reported. Included in the list of victims was Representative Hendricks of Florida, who reported the theft of two over- coats from his automobile, parked mear Eleventh and G streets. John S. Killeen, proprietor of a liquor store at 1333 Wisconsin ave- nue, told police thieves -broke into his place and stole $5 in cash and $38 worth of liquor. ‘Two colored men, one armed with & pistol, robbed Charles V. Irby, man- ager of a filling station at Third and M streets southeast, of an undeter- mined amount of cash. Another colored bandit took $25 from Clara Glazer, proprietor of a liquor store at 31 Pierce street. A man who described himself as & marine attached to headquarters here was arrested and held at the third precinct for investigation after an at- tempted robbery at a clothing store at 1745 Pennsylvania avenue. Emanuel Michaelson, proprietor of the store, told police he was beat over the head with a blunt instrument by the robber, who had ordered $40 worth of clothing. The man was captured by Precinct Detective R. J. Blick. Henry Lewis, truck driver for the Merchants’ Transfer & Storage Co., xeported he was robbed of $90 by two bandits while in an alley in the rear of 3726 Connecticut avenue.

COMMITTEE ASKS D.C.TUION LAW Amendment to Require Fee From Non-Residents Held Necessary. Amendment of the District statutes to require non-resident pupils attend- ing District public schools to pay tul- tion was recommended yesterday by the Schools Committee of the Board of Trade. The proposal urged tuition be based on the costs to Washington. This action was taken at the month- ly meeting of the committee after it had heard Supt. of Schools Frank W. Ballou explain the needs of the school system. Dr. Ballou said that at one time there were 2,600 non-resident pupils in the schools here and that these additional students cost Wash- ington taxpayers approximately $250,- 000 a year. Dr. Ballou told the committee there seems to be little hope Congress will pass the bill providing for & new five- year building program for the school system, “particularly since the report of the Jacobs Committee on Fiscal Relations.” The bill now is in the hands of the Commissioners. The Schools Committee of the trade body already is on record as indorsing the program, which calls for building, buying land and improvement work costing $30,000,000, k! stperintendent sald the two outstanding problems facing the schocl system are the lack of adequate space and the inadequate salaries. He de- clared the system is short 600 teach- ers in relation to the enrollment of today as compared with that of & few years ago. Dr. Ballou said he feels the school problem ranks second only to health as a fundamental obligation on the District's resources.

A eadmiil operated by labor dews- moved more than 2,000 delegates of the Workers’ Alliance of America out of the Capital today and ushered in the vanguard of what may be an even larger eggregation of striking ' seamen, Before Monday, when s mass move- ment of an undetermined nature will be staged in protest against “continu- ous discharge books,” leaders of the seamen predict some 5,000 of their sympathizers will be in the city. Patrick Whalen, chairman of the Baltimore Strike Committee, an- nounced that already several hundred seamen had arrived and that hun- dreds of others were on their way from the Nation's leading seaports. ‘The picket linc at the Commerce Department, which early this week consisted of six standard bearers and later was increased to a dozen, yes- terday grew to 35 or 40 silent march- ers, who are protesting a clause in Senator Copeland’s maritime act they believe will “blacklist” them for union activities. Group Leaves Suddenly. Tired after a day of parading that saw them petition President Roosevelt and Congress for additional funds to carry on work-relief projects, the ‘Workers’ Alliance delegates, composed principally of artists, writers, teachers, actors and other white-collar workers, left as suddenly s they came. After meeting for the second time in 24 hours in the Labor Department suditorium, which they packed to overflowing, the alllance representa- tives departed in groups for the 24 States they had left to impress upon the Government the need for $1,040,~ 000,000 to support W. P. A. undertak- ings until July 1. In & petition left by a committee in care of Secretary Marvin McIn- tyre at the Executive Mansion, the workers also asked employment of 2,800,000 W. P. A. workers through the remaining months of this fiscal year and & 20 per cent increase in monthly ges. W. P. A. records showed, 2,284,000 at work on relief jobs December 12. Leaving the Labor Department, where they heard their president, David Lasser, and secretary, Herbert Benjamin, assail the administration for failing to live up to pre-election promises to provide jobs for the un- employed, the workers paraded past the White House and the United States Chamber of Commerce on their way to Capitol Hill. As they filed by the White House in an orderly column of fours, with most of them wearing paper hat bands bearing the wording “W. P. A. Must Go On” and carrying placards reading “Expand W. P. A.” the marchers chanted: “Before election, “Yes'; after election, ‘No."” Halting for & few minutes at the Chamber of Commerce while a com- mittee went inside to present mands for “jobs in private industry at a decent living wage,” the demon- strators jeered at those within the building and shouted: “Where are the Jobs? Put up or shut up.’ Appear Before House Group. The procession was shunted around the Capitol grounds after a committee ©f 25, that entered the House Office Building in groups of fives in defer- ence to police regulations, appeared before “liberal” members of the House to air their grievances. Among those who addressed the Representatives was Morris Angel, representing organized New York fur workers, who said his organization was not affiliated with the Workers’ Alliance, but was supporting its pro- gram. Similarly, David Freed of the New York Musicians’ Union, said his group was backing the unemployed group’s demands, “The need for W. P.

Trans-Atlantic Craft Is Approved. Consiruction of the proposed irans- Atlantic terminal at Baltimore has been approved by the War Depart- ment, according to an announcement by Secretary of War Woodring. Completion of negotiations between the city of Baltimore and Pan- American Airways for the establish- ment of the terminal was announced about two months ago and plans were announced &t ihe same time for an extensive public works consiruction program on the Baltimore municipal sirport, st which the terminal will be located. The city of Baltimore, through its Department of Public Works, applied to the War Department for permission to construct a seaplane ramp and landing float at the municipal airport on Colgate Creek. Filling in of the airport area previously had been au- thorized by departmental permit in so far as it encroacl upon the navigable waters of the United States there. “The purpose of the structures,” Secretary Woodring explained in an- nouncing authorization for the new construction, “is to afford adequate take-off and landing facilities for trans-Atlantic planes.” Efforts to bring the trans-Atlantic terminal to Washington had been made by local aviation organizations which have sponsored the development of the Gravelly Point area as a com- bined landplane and seaplane base.

The plans are embodied in & bill Beiter has written for introduction when the House convenes afier & week-end recess, providing for an sp- propriation of $8,000,000 for develope ment of & gigantic Federal-owned de luxe housing project within the very shadow of the Capitol itself, A modern hotel, towering 200 feet into the air, nearly as high as the Capitol Building, four widely sepa- rated apartment houses and a total of 66 two-story brick houses for those who prefer to live in such places are contemplated in the plans. Rents Would Be in Keeping. Only cabinet officers, the Federal judiciary and members of Congress and their employes would be granted the privilege of living in Beiter's pro- posed exclusive Government village. The rents, Beiter insists, would be in keeping with the amount the occu- pant could pay and far less than they are now forced to hand out for un- satisfactory living accommodations. For instance, Beiter said, a member of Congress should be able to rent an apartment containing two bed rooms, a living room, dining rcom and bath for $100 or less & month. Smaller units, of course, would be propor- tionately less. ‘The area lying between Independ- ence and Virginia avenues and South Capitol and Seventh streets in the Southwest section is where Beiter be- lieves the project should be located—a site close to the Capitol, to be con- venient to all members of Congress. ‘There are 10 streets in this area that would have to be closed if the plan is approved.

Alfogeiher there would be total of €54 housing units of various sizes, ranging from two to seven rooms. ‘The project itself would take the form of a huge cross.

Beiter estimates the project could be completed at a cost of $5,500,000, although his bill will call for $6,000,- 000 to allow $500,000 for unanticipated expenses. Of the $6,000,000, an allo- cation of $1,500,000 is to be made for the acquisition of land. The bill also will authorize the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to advance the $6,000,000 as & loan, which would be amortized over a period of 40 years. Beiter's bill will propose creation of a “Congress Corporation” composed of cabinet officers or members of Congress to control the project.

TWO SUBCOMMITTEES WILL BE APPOINTED Reveals Most of Complaints Have Coms From Civic az2d Businsce 0-ganization~. BY JAMES . CAINN. Bombsrded with protests aganst (e proposed new basis of fiscal relation- ship between the Federal and District governments, Chairman Norton of the House District Committee made defi- nite plans today to give the Jacobs report its first congressional consid- eration early next week. 3 Mrs. Norton called & special meete ing of the committee Tuesday at 10:30 am., at which time she will appoint two subcommittees to consider the merits of the complex formula recome mended in the Jacobs report for solve ing the fiscal relations problem. One of the special subcommittees, to be headed by Representative Ken- nedy, Democrat, of Maryland, will devote its attention to the five pro- posed plans for raising additional reve- nue to offset part of the estimated $10,000,000 deficit the District will face in the coming fiscal year if the three-point formula is approved by Congress. Representative Nichols, Democrat, of Oklahoma will be ap- pointed chairman of the other sub- committee, which will handle the 19 statutory changes recommended in the report, Complainis Received. Mrs. Norton disclosed that mosi of the complaints against the Jacobs e~ port are being filed by civic and business crganizations that are vitallv interested in & fair and equilable ac- justment of the fiscal relations con- troversy. The latest protest came from the Federation of Business Men's Ase sociation, Inc., which declared that under the division of cost proposal of Jacobs Federal participation in Dis- trict expenses would be “unfair and* insufficient.” The organization said the basis of fiscal relations should be “more liberal and more equitable.” A copy of the assoclation’s protest also has been sent to the House Sub- committee on Appropriations, which will frame the 1938 District supply bill. The 1938 budget estimates on which the bill will be based contem- plates application of the three-point formula. . In anticipation of his appointment as chairman of one of the special fiscal relations subcommittees Ken- nedy disclosed he proposed to make a serious study of the Jacobs report over the week end in an effort te familiarize himself with the details. He sald he wanted to be prepared when the subcommittees are created fim undertake the job that confronts Kennedy also plans to analyze care- fully the arguments for fiscal equity contained in a voluminous brief of the Citizens’ Joint Comittee on Fiscal Relations which was filed with the Jacobs Fiscal Relations Committes when it held public hearings several months ago. Conference Planned. Prior to the committee meeting Mrs. Norton, Kennedy and Nichols are expected to have a conference at which the procedure for the impending in- tensive study of the Jacobs report will be tentatively outlined. Mrs. Norton said she would insist on a careful and thorough considera- tion of all of the proposals in the report for upsetting the existing basia of fiscal relations but she would not be “stampeded” into hasty action on recommendations that have such a vital effect on the District. Aside from starting the study of the Jacobs report, Mrs. Norton called the special meeting Tuesday for another purpose—to effect organization for the new Congress. There are six new members of the committee—four Democrats and two Republicans—wha were appointed this week to fill vae cancies. The committee as now constituted is composed of the following: Demo- crats—Representatives Norton of New Jersey, Palmisano of Maryland, land, Zandolph ¢f \ zzinia, Jeacats #nd Scaulte of 1n- 6iza2, Wood ol Missouri, Quiun ot ivaula, Wicaols of Oulahioma, McGehee of Mississippl, Allen of Dela~ ware, Arnold of Ilinols, Sacks of Pennsylvania and Bigelow of Ohlo; cans—Dirksen of Iliinols, Short of Missouri, Brewster of Maine, Cole of New York, Bates of Massachusetts and Shafer of Michigan; Progressive— Hull of Wisconsin.
