Two Days, Nights Same Length. On March 21 and September 22 the days and nights are of equal length throughout the world. Housing (Continued From First Page.) would prevent a recurrence of such distribution. The Senate today is considering a further amendment under which the housing funds would have to be pro- rated among the States on the basis of population, and Senator Johnson, Democrat, of Colorado. author of that proposal, amended his afternoon to make sure the District | would receive its pro rata as we!ll as the States. Earlier, reconsideration of the Byrd | amendment limiting the cost of slum | clearance projects to $1,000 per room, | or $4,000 per unit, was urged by a the measure. Senate leaders hoped to pass the bill during the day. A statement issued jointly by sev- eral housing groups, and concurred in by the American Federation of Labor, asserted the amendment would defeat the purpose of the bill, because it is below the level which can be achieved in most cities. Assails Provisions. ‘The statement was joined in by the American Federation of Housing Au- thorities, Labor Housing Conference, Housing Legislation Office and Na- tional Association of Housing Officials. Ickes, in his statement to the House committee, said: “We either ought to fish or cut bait with regard to reorganizing the executive depart- ment of the Government. ‘There would be just as much logic to pass- ing & bill providing for three Secre- taries of the Treasury as to enact this bill with its present executive provi- sions.” Ickes added the proposal in the bill pending in the Senate to have a three-man, independent body admin- ister the bill “just doesn't make sense to me.” After flaying what he described as waste in Resettlement Administration homestead projects, including the de- velopment at Greenbelt, Md., Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia succeed- ed in putting through his amendment yesterday. Abandon Efforts for Speed. When this was followed by moves to require Federal funds to be allo- cated to the States on the basis of population, and to provide that no State could receive more than 10 per cent of the entire fund, the leaders hurriedly decided to abandon efforts to pass the measure last night. The 10 per cent limitation to any one State, offered by Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland, is the pend- ing question when debate is resumed. Among changes made in the bill yes- terday were: An amendment by Majority Leader Barkley to require presidentizl ap- proval of contructs for Federal loans and grants to State and municipal public housing agencies. A motion by Senator King, Demo- crat, of Utah eliminating the power of the Housing Authority to carry on demonstration projects. A proposal by Senator Moore, Dem- ocrat, of New Jersey to include chil- dren’s playgrounds in the plans for slum-clearance projects, to reduce street accidents. Adoption of the compromise audit- ing rule, under which the present General Accounting Office system will be followed as to administrative expenses, but loans and grants will be exempt from pre-audit by the con- troller general, who would be limited to making a post-audit and report to Congress. Although there had been discussion Tuesday of making the Housing Au- A motion this | | group of organizations interested in | thority.a branch of the Interior De- partment, Senator Barkley said last night he will not offer that amend- ment now that the President has been empowered to approve contracts before the Housing Authority acts. After brief discussion on the floor yesterday it was decided no further amendment is necessary to make sure that the District Alley Dwelling Au- thority would be eligible to obtain the benefits of this program the same as other State and municipal agen- cies. Senators Copeland of New York and King of Utah were considering | a safeguarding amendment, but Sena- tor Wagner, Democrat, of New York, author of the bill, gave assurance the present language, in his opinion, leaves no doubt of the District’s inclusion. In urging the Senate to put a limit | on the unit cost of the proposed slum- clearance projects throughout the country, Senator Byrd read to the Senate figures hc has made public in recent weeks regarding the cost of the Greenbelt resettlement develop- ment in Maryland and the construc- tion of mountain houses in Virginia. He asserted that “never in the his- tory of this or any other country has there been such waste.” The Virginian declared “the time has come for this Congress to do what it can to prevent wasting of public money by those bureaus that think they own the Government.” Wagner Urges Rejection. Senator Wagner urged the Senate not to accept the limitation, and Senator La Follette, Wisconsin Pro- gressive, said there is not sufficient data available to indicate whether the unit cost limitation is reasonable. On a close roll call, however, By:d's pro- posal carried by one vote. Senator Tydings attacked the meas- ure because it does not require the local agencies to put up anything in advance when they are obtaining the construction loan. Wagner argued that the loans are to be repaid, but Tydings contended the Federal Gov- ernment will be providing the grants and rent subsidies toward the income from which the projects will repay the loans. The theory of the bill is that, after loaning the construction money, the Government will later make either grants or subsidy contributions to in- sure rentals within the means of the lowest income group of tenants. Senator George failed by a vote of 47 to 33 to obtain inclusion of an amendment limiting operation of the plan to three years. Wagner con- tended Congress will have to review the program after three years, any- how, because the appropriation in this bill is only for that period. Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee announced he has an amendment under which not to ex- ceed $1,000,000 could be allocated to the Interior Department to acquire, upon satisfactory options, land in na- tional park and forest areas not suit- able for cultivation and enable the persons on such land to rehabilitate themselves elsewhere. e FOOD COST DROPS Retail Prices Decline 0.4 Per Cent in Month. The Labor Department said today that wholesale commodity prices last week were unchanged and that the average cost of retail foods dropped 0.4 per cent during the month ended July 13. ‘The wholesale commodity prices last week were 87.5 per cent of their 1936 average, the same as they were the previous week, During the corresponde ing week last year the index was 80.3. EX-OFFICERS ASK RETURN T0 POSTS Two Dismissed Appeal to House Subcommittee on Pending Bill. Two former policemen, David Robert R. Thompson and Ralph S. Warner, who were dismissed from the force in September, 1934, appealed to & special subcommittee of the House District Committee today to approve pending legislation that would authorize the Commissioners to restore them to duty. ‘Thompson disclosed he is now work- ing on a Norfoik & Washingtcn steam- er at a salary of $56 a month. Warner is working for the W. P. A The subcommittee, headed by Repre- sentative Randolph, Democrat, of West Virginia, also has before it for con- sideration bills authorizing restoration to duty of two other former policemen who were dismissed—James F. Day and Amos B. Cole. Thompson, who was a partner of Warner in a police scout car detail at the time of their dismissal, told the subcommittee the police trial board | did not give them a fair trial. He charged the dismissal was based on the uncorroborated testimony of a colored witness who accused him of accepting $10 as a bribe. W. Gwynn Gardiner, former District Commissioner, representing Thomp- son and Warner, declared the com- plaining witness against the two fore mer officers had been convicted 43 times of crimes and misdemeanors and is now serving a prison sentence. Inspector L. I. H. Edwards, assist- ant superintendent of police, and Capt. Jeremiah A. Sullivan of the fourth precinct, who investigated the bribery charges against Thompson and Warner, testified briefly as to the various developments in the case be- fore it went to the trial board. Ed- ward W. Thomas, assistant corpora= tion counsel, said the Commissioners had reported unfavorebly on the blllsi providing for the restoration to duty | to the two officers He also pointed out the Commis- sioners have no authority under ex- isting law to reinstate them. Ran- dolph announced the subcommittee | would make a thorough study of the records in the case including the transcript of the testimony before the | police trial board before acting on| the bills. The subcommittee will resume its inquiry tomorrow at 16 am. and cali| to the witness stand police officials | who served on the trial board that| convicted Thompson and Warner. | Bills authorizing the restoration to| duty of Jay and Cole also will be con- sidered at that time.

A temporary court mandate today prevented enforcement of an order issued Monday by Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer suspending operation of the 52 cabs of the Co- lumbia Cab Association. The restraining order was signed yesterday afternoon by District Court Justice James M. Proctor and will remain in force until next Wednes- day, when & hearing is scheduled on the issuance of a preliminary injunc- tion against Van Duzer and the Dis- | trict Commissioners, Permits, license plates and registra- tion cards of all drivers in the asso- | ciation were suspended because a | Municipal Court personal injury | judgment obtained by George McNeil, | 1464 T street, had not been satisfied. Since only eight members of the | cab association were served in the | suit, the remaining drivers and own- | ers contended no action against them | should have been taken by the traffic | director. Twenty-five owner-drivers joined in the injunction suit. Their attorney, | Byron G. Carson, pointed out that| unless enforcement of Van Duzer's | order is enjoined, all members of the | cab association, including those not | named in the judgment, will have to | file insurance bonds. | | DEATH RULED SUICIDE A certificate of suicide was issued‘ by Coroner A.
