Another ministerial combat for
supremacy of the air is destined
to disturb the ether waves above
Washington again tonight at
o'clock, when stations WDM and
WITH broadcast simultaneously on
the same wave length the sermons
of Rev. Charles Wood at the
Church Of the Covenant and Rev.
Earle Wilfley at the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church, respec-
lively. Both Of these clergymen
rose to heights of eloquence last
Sunday night and ran amuck above
the clouds because the broadcast
ing stations were transmitting on
a 360-meter wave length.
Radio listeners-in believed that
some arrangement would be made
between the two broadcasting sta
tions to send on different wave
lengths and thus preclude any
future Interference in the air when
tho services are in progress. Both
stations, however. announced en-
phatically last night that they
would broadcast the services to-
night on a wave length OF $50
meters. Only radio ''fans" whose

with a weird conglomeration of
sounds have a conception of how

CLAIMS GAS TAX WOULD
EQUAL TAG REVENUE
Keller Declares 1-Cent Lew Would
Give Large Annual Yield.
Plans Hearings.

A 1-cent tax on gasoline and 81
registration fee for tags would net
the District approximately the same
amount of revenue now derived an
nually from the horsepower charge
on automobiles, according to Engi.
neer Commissioner Keller.
Commissioner Keller is now en-
gagged in working out the details of
a proposed bill to establish a gaso-
line tax in Washington as the means
Of bringing about reciprocity with
Maryland.
1t Is understood that in preparing
the gas tax bill the Commissioners
have no thought Of trying to raise,
through such a tax. more revenue
than is now taken from motorists on
the horsepower basis.
Neither are the Commissioners
definitely committed as to any of the
details of the proposed legislation.
1t is Col. Keller's plan to make public
soon after Christmas the text Of the
bill now being prepared and invite a
thorough study Of it by all interested
organizations and individuals.
The Commissioners then will set a
date on which the residents of the
city will be invited to go to the Dis
trict building and voice their views
on the proposition of gas tax before
any legislation is sent to Congress.
The question of q gas tax on mo-
torrists has been pending at the Dis
trict building since early in the year,
when Maryland officials came here
and proposed it as a basis on which
they would be willing to enter into a
reciprocal agreement with the Dis

LAUSANNE. December 9.-Proof that
bolshevik Russia is highly dlssatls-
field with Turkey because lsmee
Pasha. has abandoned the Russians on
the question Of the Dardanelles was
found today when NJ Tchitcherin, the
soviet foreign minister. issued an
urgent invitation to the Turkish jour-
nalists and. in the course OF a long
speech, warned them OF the dangers
of placing their trust in the allied
nations.
NJ. Tchitcherin did not want to say
anything in tho way Of criticism OF
the Turkish plenipotentiaries, but
thought the Turkish people at home
should know of the trend Of things
at Lausanne. He had a distinct i'm
preston, he said, that war between
Turkey and the powers was still go
ing on. Usually wars were fought on
the battlefield, but at Lausanne the
war was being waged around the
green table and the goal was to sepa-
rate Turkey from Russia. Afterward
the great powers would defeat Tur-
key and Russia separately.
Says France Abandoned Turkey.
Tchitcherin charged that France
had abandoned Turkey in favor of
England and the consideration prob
ably was some concession on the
reparations problem from England.
But it remains to be seen."
he continued. "how far France and
England will agree when the Brus-
sells conference is held"
He rejoiced that Turkey and Rus
sia had finally come together, be-
cause they were vitality important to
each other; their interests were the
same
1.-The independence and strength of
Turkey is security for Russia" he
added, land Turkey cannot be strong
and independent unless the straits
are closed"
Sees Loss Of Constantinople.
The bolshevik leader declared that
to allow foreign warships to pass
through the straits would mean the
handing over Of Constantinople to the
nation with the strongest navy. Naval
units would seize Constantinople,
then attack Russia. Therefore, if
Constantinople was in danger, Russia
also was in terror.
Turning his attention to England,
Tchitcherin told the Turkish cor
respondents that Great Britain had
her eye on northern Persia The way
to northern Persia was through the
Caucasus-the way to the Caucasus
was through the Dardanelles He
asserted that the Russian program
at Lausanne was based on a COM
munity of interests between the Rus
sian and Turkish peoples and he
hoped that the end Of the confer
ence would find the two countries
nearer together.

If the Turks insisted on their right

Plate printers in the bureau of en-

six-year fight against the effort to
introduce labor-savins machinery in
Uncle Sans big paper money plant
received a staggering blow when the
House late yesterday in passing the
Treasury Department appropriation
bill included an amendment whlcn
means the installation of power
presses and the discharge Of 21S plate
printers.
The House galleries were crowded
with plate printers and their friends
while the House engaged In a bitter
and heated debate for four hours.
This ended in a record vote. 167 to
IS, in favor of an amendment by
Chairman Madden, after the original
language in the bill had been strick-
en- out on a point of order by Repre-
sentative Fred H. Zihlman Of Mary
land, chairman of the labor commit
tee, that the paragraph was not ger
name, and was new legislation on an
appropriation bill. forbidden under
the House rules.
Bill Carries S115,00O.000.
After that was settled the House,
without a record vote, passed the
Treasury appropriation bill. which
carried approximately $115,000.o00. of
which $9.0OO,000 is for prohibition en-
forcement. The only material change
made in the bill as reported from
the committee was in elimination of
proposed undersecretary of the
Treasury.
Two votes were demanded by Rep
resentative Zihlman to settle the plate
printers fight. In the committee of
the whole house, where the matter
was thrashed out more informally
than possible under the rules of the
House itself, the members voted 81
to 38 to accept the Madden amend
ment, which was virtually the same
as the original language, except that
it does not specifically provide for
the installation of fifty-eight power
presses to replace 1876 hand presses.

by prescribing the method of print

raised by approximately $2.000,O00 the
limit which they at first specified was
all the District could expect.
What the official spokesmen for the

by the budget bureau should not be
further reduced.

Chief honors in THE Barricade," re-

and now being screened at the Murray

to William Christy Cabanne and Dr.
Daniel Carson Goodman, who wrote
the story
Founded upon the premise that gen.

more to tighten the burdens of the
world than false pride and prejudice,
The Barricade" is a powerful preach

One OF the means by which Mr. Ca
banne and DR.. Goodman establish
their point is the deep affection that
obtains between Jacob Solomon, a
kindly old Hebrew, and Michael Bren-
nan, an elderly Irishman, who are
business partners when the story be-
gins. Solomon at Brennan's death,
takes the latters son Robert, and
rears him as his son.
But then the barricade arises and
complications begin. Upon them is
