CONGRESS PROBE OF KU-KLUX
PROPOSED BY MR.. TAGUE
Measure to Be Presented When Body Re-
assemblies After Summers Vacation.
Would Curb Organization.

Congressional investigation of the
Ku-Klux Klan is proposed in a reso-
luton which Representative Peter
Tague of Massachusetts has drafted
and today announced his intention of
introducing as soon as the House re-
assemblies. He will ask that this or
ganizAtion, which he claims is ..'anti-
Catholic, anti-Jew and anti-negro
and un-American," be Investigated
either by special committee of Con-
gress or by the judiciary committee.
He will also ask that information now
in the hands of the Attorney General
as result of an inquiry conducted
for several months by agents of the
Department of Justice be laid before
Congress.
Representative Tague says that he
has received reliable information that
the agents of the Ku-Klux Klan are
at work in Massachusetts and other
parts of New England endeavoring to
organize there.
'If the light Of publicity is turned
upon the grotesque. fantastic, ludi-
crous garb and ceremonies of this in
tolerant organization, which presumcs
to take the law in its own hands and
holds sway through appeal to super
stition. it will be found that the spon-
sors have reaped a rich harvest" said
Representative Tague. He predicted
that the expose will "cauSe nation

klux klan will shrivel up and disap-
pear"

WORLDS z|0N|STS
CLOSE CONGRESS
Dr.. Weizmann Is Reelected
President of the Or
ganization.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
CARLSBAD. Czechoslovakia. Sep
tember 15.-The worlds Zionist con-
gress, which has been in session here
moret than two weeks, was brought
to an end late last night. The old
leaders, DR.. Chayim Weizman and Ma
hum Sokolow, were reelected, the
former remaining president of the
world organization. A proposal to re-
move Zionist headquarters from Lon
don to Palestine or Switzerland was
rejected.
The congress accepted the recon-
mendation by the political commission
that it send special delegations to
Washington, London. Geneva and
Palestone to negotiate with the gov
ernments in these cities and with the
league of nations concerning the fu-
ture safeguarding of Zionist interests
in Palestine.
, The serious disagreement of Tues
day between the Mizrachi. or orthodox
element. and the left. or laborite wing
caused by resolution of the Mizrachi
proposing that all institutions in
Palestine supported by the Zionists
should observe the Jewish law in
every respect, was smoothed over
somewhat by the introduction of a
substitute resolution by Chief Rabbi
Chajas of Austria that the question be
left to the discretion of the executive
ilommittee. The Mizrachi accepted the
resolution, but the members of the left
wing refrained from voting.
The report of the budget commits
sion recommending an expenditure of
f1,500.000 for next year was adopted
by the congress. One-third of this
sum will be spent on the establish
ment of institutions to aid colonial :
tion and the development of indus
tries in Palestine: f150,000 will be
used for the settling of immigrants;
100000 for EDUCATIONAL purposes and
the remainder for the purchase of
new lond. irrigation and sanitary inn
provements.
The closing addresses were deliver
ed by Rabbi Chajes. DR.. Shmarja
Levin of New York, David Yellin,
head of the Jewish community of
Jerusalem. and the Hebrew poet, H
N. Bialik. All of them praised the
work achieved by the congress.

PAVING CONTRACT DELAY
SAVES DISTRICT $4,000
Drop in Price of Asphalt During
Summer Is Responsible for
Situation.

The action of the Commissioners in
delaying the contract for asphalt
street paving since June will result
in a saving of $4,000 in the cost sf
this work, it became known at the
District building today.
This does not mean that the city
heads will have $4,000 to turn back
to the Treasury. but it will enable
them to lay 100000 more worth of
paving than would have been pos
sible had they accepted the first bids
submitted by contractors in June.
The contract for asphalt paving
will amount to about 100000. and
pl obably will be awarded at the board
session tomorrow.
When the first bids for this work
were received in June the price. per
square yard, was $3.50. Engineer Com
missioner kutZ recommended that
these bids be rejected in the hope that
the price would drop during the sum-
mer. His conclusion proved correct.
and when new bids were received a
few days ago the price. per square
yard. was $3.17.
This case indicates that the COM
missioners have entered wholeheart-
edly into the Dawes spirit of economy.

One of the prime motives behind the

to combat the Ku-Klux Khan, and

Aims mt Khan.
I'm view of the fact that the Ku-
Klux Klan has adopted the weapon
of mass action. 1t was our desire to
organize society which shall de-
velop harmony and good feeling be-
tween different classes rather than
enmity." Mr.. Dunno said today. "Invf-
tations were sent out last week to
many prominent church, political,
business and welfare men, and the re-
plies are coming in now. We will
hold meeting in few days to COM
plete plans"
Offices of the council have already
been opened on La Sale street, in
the financial section of the city.

RULES FOR A|RMEN
|ASKEDBY GESSFORD
Police Head Says Unrestrict-
ed Flying Over Crowds
Is Menace.

The aviator flying through space may
have to watch the crowds beneath him
just as the motorist must keep his eye
sioners act on a recommendation in the
annual report of Maj. Gessford, super
intendent Of police.
The police chief told the city heads
that the unrestricted use of airplanes.
particularly during big open-a gather
ingS, Is becoming a menace as the num-
ber OF flying machines increases.
"In a number of instances in the
past" the major reported, "when pa
rades and other public demonstra-
tfons have been held, airplanes have
been observed to fly at what appeared
to be dangerously low attitudes over
the spectators Of such events.
Makes Double. Danger.
'In SO far as l am aware, there is
at present no regulation whatever with
planes. 1t would, therefore. seem that
there is nothing to prevent any ma
chine, regardless of it's condition OF
fitness for flying, from being piloted
in the air at the hazard of both the
operator and the general public
Such a situation makes doubly dan
gerous the flying of airplanes during
public demonstrations"
Here arc some of the other recon-
mendations contained in the report:
Free uniforms for members of the
force. renewal Of the request for
traffic court. erection of central
police building. a new police station
in Langdon and construction of new
home for the harbOr precinct.
Maj. Gessford repeats the appeal
which has been made in police reports
for many years that Congress enact a
law to regulate the sale and posses
81 on of pistols and other firearms in
the District.
Wants Better Equipment.
More and better equipment for the
force is asked for. Hope is expressed
that in the near future policemen will
be provided with .38-caliber revolvers
Attention is directed to the need for
replacing some Of the motor vehicles
of the department.
Declaring that the cells in the sec
ond. seventh and ninth precincts are
gloomy. insanitary and poorly VENT
lated, the major urges that they be
reconstructed.
The total number of arrests for all
offenses during the fiscal year ended
