DIXIE GIVES AID
TO $3.50 PLAN
Southern Democrats to
Support Half-and-Half,
Says Williams.
VICTORY IS PREDICTED
Leader in Fight Forecasts
Defeat Of Mapes Bill
In Senate.

Representative Thomas S. Williams,
of Illinois. who has been leading the
fight in the House to retain the half
Rand-half fiscal relation between the
District and Federal governments.
lRst night announced that a new ele-
ment has entered into the contest
Southern Democrats.
Several Democrats from the South
have come to me during the past few
days to say that while they had voted
against the half-and-hslf in the past
they had decided to. vote for its re-
tention when the question comes up
for consideration Monday in the
House." Mr.. Williams said.
For a time II appeared that we
would have little hope of breaking
down the opposition that some OF
the old-timers have always advanced.
but since they have been made to
see the other side OF the question,
j feel certain the Mapes bill abol-
ishing the present fiscal relation be-
tween the District and Federal gov
ernments will be killed in the House
and will never reach the Senate.
VIII Go Before People.
In the past there has been little
or no defense offered for the people
i. Of the District. The opponents of
kthe half-and-half have spoken loud
ly and long against the half-and-
half. and the members who had not
looked into the matter felt satisfied
to vote as they were told to vote.
We will show the Districts side Of
the question Monday"
Mr.. Williams Is going to take
the half-and-half campaign before
the people of the District. Yester-
day. he accepted an invitation to
address the Mid-City Citizens As
sociation on the fourth Monday
night of this month on the subject
of the half-and-half plants rela-
tion to the taxpayer of the District
and it's status in Congress.
Chairman Mapes, of the House
District of Colombia Committee,
author of the bill to abolish the
half-and-half plan, has only two
Republican members Of the com
mittee. supporting his measure.
They are Representatives Florian
Lampert. of Wisconsin. and Ander-
son II. Walter, of Pennsylvania.
Nine Republican members will op-
pose Int OIL Oh NllC hOOA VI NHC
House. They are Williams. of Illi-
nois: Zihlman. of Maryland: Gould.
of New York; Murphy. of Ohio;
Hays. OF Missouri; Reed, of West
Virginia; BurdIck, of Rhode Island /;
Focht. of Pennsylvania. and Wheel
er. of Illinois.
Hold Up Other Bills.
1t had been expected that the post
office appropriations bill now: before
the House would be taken up again
weIonday. but Chairman Mapes has
been assured by Majority Leader
MondeII that nothing will be con-
sidered other than District of Colum-
bia matters. since Monday Is the reg
ular District Day"
Mr.. Mapes has it in his power to
defer consideration of the half-and-
half bill and call up the weights and
measures bill. which was considered
on the last District Day. He is de-
sirous, however. OF disposing Of the
half-and-half bill as early as possible.
