NO “RACE” PAYOFF, FANS HALT CARD Torontoans Surge On Track, | Pelt Horses When Told It's a False Start. By the Associated Press. TORONTO, June 5—A crowd of about 350 disgruntled fans delayed the racing program at Thorncliffe Park for more than two hours today between the second and third races when they found that what they be- lieved to be a fairly run race had been only a false start.

Amendment of one of the rules of the House in such a way as to prevent future expenditure of Federal funds for continuing projects without spe- cific authorization by Congress for undertaking them is being considered by members of the House Rules Com- mittee, it was learned yesterday. The question arose during consider- | ation of the annual appropriation bill for the Interior Department in con- nection with an item providing for work during the next fiscal year on a power project in Colorado started as an “emergency” measure with P. W. A. funds. As in the cases of the Passama- quoddy tidal power project and the Florida ship canal, the President was {free, under the emergency legisla- tion, to allocate funds to start various projects requiring several years to complete without waiting for specific congressional authorization for this | or any other individual project which | he and Secretary Ickes, as works progress administrator, approved. The House rules at present, it was | observed, require that, before an ap- propriation can be made for a project, another measure authorizing. the project must have been passed by Congress. They also provide, how- | ever, that appropriations may be made | to continue public works which are | already in progress. The loophole contained in the latter provision was | not noticed until it engaged the at- tention of members of several com- mittees last month. In the early administration efforts to combat unemployment by making | Jobs for the jobless through a vast | program of public works, it was ob- served, numerous projects were start- ed’ which required subsequent appro- priations by Congress to carry them forward. Even though Congress had never specifically authorized them, they were entitled to consideration for appropriations, since they were “works in progress.” The only conspicuous instances in | which Congress has balked at carry- | ing them forward have been the | 'Quoddy and Florida Canal projects. Usually they have been sanctioned | appropriations for their continuance. | Tribune.) Liner Can't Serve Water.

When diplomas are awarded the graduating class of National University Friday night high honors should go to | Mr. and Mrs. George Raymond Kie- ferle, who undertook the study of law three years ago with the burdens of a 4-year-old son and a mortgage on their home. The husband and wife had only started to pay for their house at 220 Peabody street when Kieferle gave up his work as a mu- sician so he could study law at night with his wife.

LOS ANGELES, June 5—District Attorney Buron Fitts said today he has asked a man named David Ross to come to his office Monday to meet, Patricla Douglas, young actress, who complained she was criminally as- saulted at a Hollywood champagne revel recently. “Miss Douglas’ complaint has caused my office to check three men by the name of David Ross,” Fitts said. “Miss Douglas will confront Mr. Ross and tell us, if she can, whether he is the man she believed attacked her.” Fitts said one of the David Rosses is believed to live in Chicazo, another in Buffalo, N. Y., and the man he has asked to appear next week is a Holly« wood resident. “We do not know that any of the three men of this name attended the alleged party,” he said. “But we'rs going to have a showdown on the girl's story.” The party, Miss Douglas said, was a luxurious, $35000 fete for visiting executives to a movie studio sales con= vention. She said an unknown man forced her to take a drink, and then, when she went outside to recover from the effects, he beat and attacked her, Informed of Fitts’ statement, David Ross, local theater manager, declared: "I was not at the party and never even heard of it.
