PROGRESS SHOWN | INALLEY HOUSING. Maryland U. Class Makes | Tour of Two D. C. Projects. Progress made in cleaning up Wash- Ington's 200 inhabited alleys was ex- plained to a Maryland University class In housing yesterday during a tour conducted by John TIhlder, executive officer of the District Alley Dwelling Authority, and Homer J. Smith, archi- tect. The class, composed of teachers of home economics who have been study- ing slum conditions in various sec- tions of Maryland. visited two com- pleted housing projects—one on Hop- kins place near L street southeast, where 22 families are established, and the other on W street, where a new three-story apartment house houses 80 families. The task of cleaning up the city's alleys has cost between $800.000 and £900,000 since the work started in November, 1934, but much has been | accomplished Planned to take 10| vears, the entire cost of the project was estimated at $£9,000.000. Unimproved Houses Seen. To illustrate what the Alley Au- thority has done, the class was taken by bus through some of the alleys which have not yet undergone “face- lifting” treatment Av Hopkins place, where recondi- tioned houses rent from $13.50 to #1550 & month and new ones from $25 to $26.50, Ihlder described the cost of the project and its use in demonstrat- ing the feasibility of low-cost housing. The rentals, he pointed out, do not represent subsidies, since these costs cover insurance, upkeep, overhead, taxes and 3 per cent on the Authority's investment. Three hundred applicants tried to get homes in the W street apartments, Ihlder told the sightseers, but the 30 families now living there were selected after they had convinced the Authority they had been good tenants elsewhere and possessed “good-neighbor” qual- | 1ties. | Many From One-Room Homes. Thider said the number of applicants emphasized the situation facing col- ored families who are trying to find homes in Washington. Most of the tenants came from one room, although | their income was large enough to pay | for more. The rent at the apartments is $25, | £32.50 and $35 for two, three and four | rooms, respectively. TIhlder said the incomes of the ten-| ants at Hopkins place range from re- | lief to as high as $1.600, while those at W street vary from $1,500 up. The party also visited a third hous- ing project on Twenty-fourth street; between G and H, where 24 units of two stories will be constructed. The | way also is being cleared for a fourth | project in the Southwest section. { Since the authority started work 30 | slleys have been cleared. Some of | them have been turned into parking places, while in others garages and workshops are being operated.

Daly, back in his office at 1319 Wisconsin avenue today, told the story of the kidnaping. “I thought when he walked up to my car on Pennsylvania avenue that it was all a joke” the victim said “I didn't even think he had a real| pistol until I saw that he meant business.” Daly drove the car around the city and later to North Beach, while Mar- shall, according to Daly, sat in the| back seat and kept him covered with | a pearl-handled revolver. “First, he asked me where I lived,” Daly said. “He was going to order me | to take him to my home so he could | change his clothes. He changed his mind. though, and said he was going | to rob the Hangar Club. I was to go| into the place, with him behind me. | However, I talked him out of that.| Then he wanted to go up Fourteenth | street and see it he couldn't hold up | some liquor stores. His last order was to drive to North Beach, where, he said, he had a friend he wanted to see.” Daly said Marshall told him at North Beach that “I guess I'm crazy to turn you loose over here—I ought to blow your brains out or you'll tell it when you get back.” Several times, Daly recounted, thought I was done for.” Passed Police Cars. ‘The automobile passed several police cars in driving about the city. “I couldn't even get a signal to them,” Daly said. The candy store operator returned to Washington from North Beach at 6 a.m. yesterday afer “pretending to the man that I wouldn't turn him in to the police.” | Daly said he delaved reporting the | kidnaping to police because he “had to g0 to Falls Church and get the folks back into town.” On his way through Washington, returning home, Daly stopped at & restaurant near his store and told the restaurant proprietor of the incident.

Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of criticism of his proposed amendments to the Wagner labor law, said today they were “calculated to protect the sound progress which organized labor has made” under the law. Vandenberg made his reply in a let- ter to the American Federation of Labor president. He submitted the letter to the Senate. Green's attack on the amendments was made in a letter to Democratic Leader Barkley, which was read to the Senate Wednesday during considera- tion of the Vandenberg amendments. Green's criticisms, Vandenberg said, were “based on a complete misappre= hension of the purport of my proposed amendments, or else the amendments themselves are most ineptly phrased.” “I deny,” he wrote Green, “that they are a 'bold attempt'—or any other kind of an ‘attempt'—'to restrict the free- dom of self-organization of workers’ or to ‘nullify the effectiveness of dem- ocratic self-government of unions,’ as charged by you. Furthermore, I re- spectfully submit that this bitter in- dictment is in no degree borne out by your own bill of particulars.” He took up Green's criticisms one by one. He said his proposed injunc- tion against “threats, intimidation, co- ercion or physical violence” in “in- ducing or compelling” union member- ship was based on a belief that “such things are intolerable in a country of liberty under law.” To Green's statement that the unfair labor practices outlined in the amend= ment would “fall little short of the example set by Fascist Germany,” Vandenberg replied that “that is the | exact antithesis of Fascist Germany | because it strikes for the individual po- litical liberty of the individual worker.” | Hhe Michigan Senator insisted the | philosophy behind his amendments | “points the way to sympathetic cor-! rections of demonstrated weaknesses which, if unchecked and unchanged, may unfortunately invite radical re-| prisals which neither one of us would | welcome.” “I accept without reservation,” Van- | denberg said, “the new American con- cept of statutory collective bargain- ing.” —e 60-DAY TERM IMPOSED For the twelfth time, Eddie Bean, colored, was convicted today before Police Court Judge John P.

Ave: INVENTOR WANTS SENATE INQUIRY To Be Tried by Labor Board, He Threatens to Seek Pres- ident’s Impeachment. By the Associated Press, STAMFORD, Conn., July 30.—Lester P. Barlow, Stamford inventor, in- formed he would be prosecuted on charges of violating the national labor relations act, threatened today to de- mand a Senate inquiry and seek im- peachment of President Roosevelt. Louis Y. Gaberman, assistant Fed- eral district attorney, announced last night he would prosecute Barlow, one- time Connecticut leader of Huey Long’s “share the wealth” movement, as a result of the inventor's outburst at a National Labor Relations Board hear- ing. Barlow accused the board of radi- calism, charged the proceedings were & “racket” and invited Trial Examiner Paul Davier to “tell the President of the United States for me to go to hell.” Gaberman, who did not indicate when a warant would be issued, said Barlow would be prosecuted under a section of the act making it unlawful for any person to “willfully resist, pre- vent, impede or interfere” with the | board or its agents in the performance | *% A—S of their duties. It provides maximum punishment of & $5,000 fine and one year’s imprisonment. Barlow, inventor of a depth bomb used by the United States during the World War and claimant to several million dollars for the invention, is- sued a statement saying he also would file charges against James A. Jarley, Postmaster General; Homer 8. Cume mings, Attorney General, and “many others associated with the Democratio national political machine.” Chinese Divorce Action.

In this safe car the center of gravity is extremely low, yet the view of the Y road is like that in the old high-built automobiles . . . Investigate this . . . Note how it has been worked out. VEN a person of small stature can see the road perfectly from the chair-height seats of the 1937 Lincoln-Zephyr. Women drivers especially are gaining new driving confidence amid today’s conditions on the boulevards and streets of our cities’and suburbs. In the Lincoln-Zephyr they can judge exactly where they are and how close they are to other vehicles. This new vision-angle is not just an extra feature added to a motor car. Like many other improvements, it is made possible only by the advanced design of the Lincoln-Zephyr as 4 whole. Car-minded people will rec- ognize this during the first few minutes of examination and trial. If they have known many cars, including foreign motors with unusual shapes and fittings, their minds will click with approval of the Lincoln-Zephyr and the way its design has woven together new power and safety and comfort. The body of the Lincoln-Zephyr is not set upon a conventional chassis. Instead, an overhead bridge con- struction combines body and chassis into one all-steel unit, eflormously strong. The interior of the car is wide because the usual running boards have been discarded in favor of narrow buffers. When entering you take only one step directly from the ground to the floor of the car. When seated, you are not over the transmission shaft; you are almost alongsideit. Your feet can be placed straight down on the floor. Thus, the low center of gravity brings comfort as well as safety. You are actually “‘driving for pleasure’” again and getting new thrills out of it with this new kind of automobile. The Lincoln-Zephyr is a great car for COUPE SEDAN_ - 1,326.05 4-DOOR SEDAN__ 1,346.48 Delivered in Washington and vicinity, these prices include transportation charges, taxes, front and rear bumpers, spare See Any of the Following Authorized Lincoln-Zephyr Dealers WARFIELD MOTOR CO., DISTRIBUTORS 1727 CONN.
