D.C. COMMITTEE PREPARES T0 FIGHT 10 RIDERS 10 BILL Authority Will Be Usurped if They Are Not Killed, It Believes. HOSPITAL, PLAYGROUND JURISDICTION DEBATED Course Mapped Out at 90-Minute Session Preceding House Con- sideration of Supply Bill. BY JAMES E. CHINN. ‘The House District Committee today made definite plans to fight vigorously 10 of the 21 legislative riders on the 1938 appropriation bill—riders it be- lleves will usurp its authority and pre- rogatives unless killed. The course of action was mapped out at a 90-minute executive session preceding consideration of the supply bill by the House. The principal targets of attack will be provisions in the bill for transfer- fing jurisdiction over Gallinger Hos- pital and the new tuberculosis sana- toria at Glenn Dale, Md, from the Board of Public Welfare to the Health Department. Points of order also are to be made against riders transferring 20 munici- pal playgrounds to control of the Com- munity Center Department of the public schools and providing an ap- propriation for District officials to make a survey looking toward reorgan- #zation of the municipal government in the interest of efficiency and economy. Decision Is Explained. Immediately after the executive ses- | #lon Chairman Norton issued a brief statement explaining the decision of her committee to fight the recom- mendations of the Appropriations Committee. “We are not antagonistic to the Ap- propriations Committee or the supply bill,” she declared. “This is a ques- tion whether a legislative committee is recessary. If she Appropriations Com- mittee can legislate as well as appro- priate then the Legislative Commit- tee is not necessary. “A rider—a red rider—was attached ¢o the appropriation bill two years ago end caused a great deal of trouble and econfusion. We certainly don’t want to go through that again. Our commit- tee feels it is its duty to watch out for such proposed legislation on ap- propriation bills.” The plans of the Legislative Com- mittee to fight the 10 riders appar- mtly has not worried Chairman Col- lins of the subcommittee on appropria= tions which framed the supply bill. “I am ready for anything that aight happen,” Collins declared. Collins knows if .a point of order ¥ sustained against the rider for transferring contrc! of the hospital and sanatoria, the appropriations for these institutions will be automatically aliminated. At the same time, members of the Legislative Committee brushed up on parliamentary procedure. They learned that if the appropriations are | eliminated with the rider, it will be | possible to have the funds restored with an amendment which would leave control of the institutions under the Welfare Board. Mrs. Norton believes the Appro- priations Committee has gone be- yond its authority in attempting Lo ictate the types of tax bills which | should be enacted for the District to raise revenue to offset an anticipated $6,000,000 deficit in the coming fiscal | year. While Collins introduced the measures, and has the privilege of so doing, she feels they were “hatched” in his subcommittee. The Appropriations Committee has gone so far into the legislative field, | Mrs. Norton pointed out, that she may | as well abolish a special subcommittee she created about a week ago to study proposals for reorganizing the Dis- | trict government in the interest of efficiency and economy.

Clifford Lanham, tall, keen-eyed su- perintendent of trees and parkings, entertained himself yesterday by draw= ing on his 42 years’ experience in the District government to effectively dis- sect the nepotism bugaboo. horrible example,” chuckled Lanham, “since they have my name up near the top of the list of those having relatives in the District government.” The “nepotism report” compiled by District Auditor Danitl J. Donovan for the House District Appropriations Subcommittee listed Lanham as nav- ing a brother, a niece, two nephews, a cousin and a brother-in-law in the District service.

Lanham recalled the days when “nepotism” was as unheard of as “whoopee” and he was a water boy earning 50 cents a day—the only | Lanham on the District pay rolls. | “I certainly didn't have any influ- | ence then,” he said. *“But I was am- | bitious and pretty soon I was a skilled laborer earning $1.50 a day.

That was 39 years ago and I couldn’t have helped him get the job if I had tried. “Three years earlier Humphrey Beckett, my first cousin, had entered the service of the District by getting a job as a wagon driver at $1.50 a day.” The young “nepotics” were pals and one of their best friends was Frank Haskell, a bright young cigar salesman. He called frequently at the Lanham home and soon married one of Lan- ham’s sisters. A short time later he got a job as a laborer for the District.

It sent them to work this morning sleepy-eyed and dour because three | and a half hours of the best part of the night, from midnight to 3:30 a.m., | were taken right out of their slumber by the intermittent, raucous blaring of a two-toned automobile horn, de- signed as a melodious tone but turned into a baffling nightmare. Children cried. = Women cocked their ears out of upstairs windows. | Men got on their bathrobes and stum- | bled out into the wet grass of back yards to better sense the direction whence came the infernal racket, | wafted to their ears from all points of the compass with the changing night wind.

Day and Casey ot in their car and cruised in the neighborhood from which the complaints came. During the next hour or so they heard the offending blast, ccming each time from a different direction, apparently, but at regular intervals, almost as though some person were timing his devilment, and for exactly 30 seconds per blast. During the same hour Burrell H. Marsh, 4515 Stanford street, an auto- mobile distributor whose newest mod- els have a horn suspiciously like the one causing all the disturbance, was awakened. He thought it was his horn, but just as he got out of bed and went to the window to listen and be sure, the noise stopped. He found his bathrobe and went down into the | back yard and listened again. silence. Back to bed he went. | About 1:30 am.

It was umcanny. | At about 3:15, Dr. Shea, who admits | being a somewhat heavy sleeper on occasions, awoke. He heard a noise that sounded exactly like the horn of his new car, parked in his driveway. He went down to investigate. Just as he reached the shiny new machine, a two-toned blast issued from under the hood, continuing for 30 seconds, and ceased. He was just beginning to wonder about the situation when Day and Casey, still on the trail, rushed in through the back gate, followed closely by a dozen or more half-irate, half- mystified neighbors in night clothing. After much tinkering it was dis- covered that Dr. Shea’s car was equipped with an electric clock, which winds itself every 15 minutes. In some unexplained manner, which Dr. Shea and Marsh, who sold him the car, believe holds the answer to the whole affair, the connections became crossed so that every time the clock wound {tself up the horn blew. “And s0 to bed.” EMPLOYES PLACED IN CIVIL SERVICE Fifty in Labor Board Will Be Eligible for Transfer to Other Agencies. About 50 employes of the National Labor Relations Board will be eligible for transfer to other Government agencies if the Wagner act is knocked out by the Supreme Court, as result of an order signed by President Roose- velt giving them civil service status. Made public today, the order puts under civil service all employes of the board except attorneys, examiners, regional directors and the executive secretary.

Due to the fact McCauley is still in the hospital suffering from a wound in the right arm, the case was con- tinued for one week to permit his appearance. Bond was set at $2,000. Miss Tadlock is claimed by police to have said she shot McCauley in an mended for and take a non-com- petitive examination to acquire the raling. ‘The Labor Relations Board has been & non-civil service agency since its inception, but under the new law salaries were regulated by the classi- fication act.

EXAMPLES ARE TAKEN FROM AGENCY RECORDS Jennings and Canon Stokes Ap- peal to Citizens to Attend Sunday Session. “Ammunition” for the guns in the campaign to help Washington's job- less—real cases of privation and dis- tress in families where the supporting member is able and willing, but un- able to find work—was furnished yes- terday to the committee arranging the citizens’ mass meeting in behalf of the unemployed. The cases included those of an “employable” woman, now living in one room with four little children, barely able to eke out an existence; an aged couple, also “employable,” who were forced to move in with & young son already supporting a wife and baby on $16 a week, and a father, mother and two children living in a single room and sleeping in the same bed. These examples, taken from the records of the Capital's 3,000 unem- pleyed “employables” were submitted to the committee by Miss Louise O. Beall of the Family Service Associa- tion, who is in charge of 82 volunteers now making a suivey of employable persons who are uenied reiief. The various chcurches of the city. Statement by Jennings. Referring to the cases laid before the committee, Coleman Jennings, chairman of the arrangements group, said: “This mass meeting at the First Congregational Church Sunday after- noon at 4:30 is arranged to give Washington & chance to do some- thing in behalf of people like these. These people are residents of Wash« ington. They have to be because no relief is granted to any person who has not lived in the District for a year or more. As a matter of fact, the last survey of the relief situation, made before the ‘employables’ were | dropped, showed that 85 per cent of the people on relief had been resie dents of the District for five years or more. “It is time for a mass meeting. It is time that Washington be given | an opportunity to express itself in regard to this critical situation. I hope to see the First Congregational Church packed with interested Wash- ingtonians when that meeting is called to order, because something must be done for these people.” The committee also was told that | during January 1,447 applications were made to the public relief agencies by families in which there were one or | more employable members. During February 1,436 applications were made to the same agencies. They were not even investigated in regard to their needs, because the public agencies did not have sufficient staffs to inquire into the cases and they were without funds to help employables, no matter | how desperate their plight. Fully half | of these persons applied also to private relief agencies, which were unable to | help more than a scattered few cases | because of limited funds. Canon Stokes Speaks. Canon Anson Phelps Stokes ap- | peared before the Rotary Club yes= terday, urging the members, as civice | minded citizens, to attend the mass meeting and help solve the problem confronting the city. He outlined the | serious situation that exists in public relief, declaring that agencies already are helping every possible person their limited funds will permit. Plans for the meeting are prac- tically complete. It will last exactly one hour, opening with a program of organ music, and continuing from 4:45 to 5:30 p.m. with a program of short speeches by prominent citizens, some of whom will cite actual case stories taken from the records of needy “employables.” Treasure Hunt Started.

Being easy on the eyes of the pas- sengers is an important qualifica- tion looked for in spunky young women who would become steward- esses on sky liners. Wilhelmina Dock, 22, Sibley Hos- pital graduate nurse, discovered this a week ago, and today she went to work for American Airlines. Lest the impression be gained, however, that “Willie,” as she likes to be called, “‘cashed in” on pulchri-| tude alone, it might be well to ex- plain that she didn’t. Something else—brains and the ability to do things—is necessary in the makeup of a stewardess, who | has to see that air travelers have‘ their whims attended to above the| clouds. Job Comes Quickly. Willie, & North Carolinian trans- planted in the Capital three years | ago, go her job in a fashion that almost took her breath away. | Two weeks ago, when there was a | 1ull in the nursing business, she went to Washington Airport to file her application.

She has no qualms about tailspins or sudden landings. She says she's a fatalist. “Even if there have been some crashes lately,” she pointed out, “I think flying is pretty safe these days. And besides, I don't believe in acci- dents—they're meant to happen.” Her parents in Wilmington, N. C, didn't try to dissuade her from what might seem to some a perilous un- dertaking. And her 14-year-old brother thought it was fine, because he's an aviation enthusiast himself and builds model planes. §154.432 DREDGING JOB 15 APPROVED Georgetown and Anacostia Work to Be Done by Nor- folk Company. A contract for dredging George- town and Anacostia Channels to & minimum depth of 24 feet has been approved by Maj. Gen. Edward M. Markham, chief of Army engineers, the War Department announced to- day. The award was made to the Nor- folk, Va., Dredging Co. in the amount of $154,432. The contract was awarded as the result of the recent allotment of $199,000 out of rivers and harbors funds for the deepening of the local channels. o The Norfolk company will take the dredged material to a rehandling basin at Gravelly Point. Eventually it will be deposited behind the earthen levee around the area pro- posed as a site for a model airport. Army engineers estimated the chan- nel-deepening work will require six months and that when it is com- pleted between 60 and 100 acres of dry land will have been created on the Gravelly Point flats. The principal dredging operations will be in the vicinity of Columbia Island, at Hains Point and in the Anacostia River below the Navy Yard. Money Picked From Tree. BLUFFTON, Ind. (#).—E. J.
