SNIP BOARD INQUIRY
IS ASKED IN HOUSE
Representative Davis Res
oIution Provides Committee
of Seven Members.

The threatened demand for an IN
vestigation Of the Shipping Board
which has been bruited about the
Capitol for weeks, was made today.
when Representative Ewin L. DAVIS
of Tennessee, democrat, a MEMBER
Of the merchant marine commlttee,
introduced a resolution calling for
appointment of a special committee
TO conduct the inquiry.
The resolution calls for a COM
mittee of seven House members to
thoroughly examine into the AFFAIRS
of the Shipping Board and all sub
Sidiary agencies, and with instruc-
n lions the to bespa sna the gS
Fleet Corporation.
Sees Methods Still Had.
Declaring in, a statement that he
had introduced the resolution In
response to a widespread demand"
Mr.. Davis said that while there have
been frequent changes in personnel
and some of the policies of the Ship
ping Board, yet they still cling, to
the MOI contracts. which more than
two, and half years ago Chairman
ful piece of chicane, inefhciency and
footing of the public Treasury that
the human mind can devise.
They have made no progress" the
efficient, constructive policy with re-
spect to either the sale or the OPP
Grafton of Shipping Board vessels.
We are now largely In the dark as
tn their future plans and 1t is known
that there has been and is now
= wide divergence of opinion between
members of the Shipping Board and
between at least a portion or tne
members Of the Shipping Board ana
the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
Charges Facts Withheld.
TT is a matter of common knowl..
Congress, as we'll as representatives
Of the press, have been unable TO
obtain the facts with respect to many
transactions and policies of the
shipping Board and Emergency Fleet
corporation, although the Congress
and the public are clearly entitled
20 such Information. While I already
have large amount OF 1nformatlon
bearing on the subject and am IN
daily receipt Of additional informa-
lion and charges, much of which Is
sensational in nature, yet | 40 not
1T this time care to make any spe-
ciflc charges, as I am content to let
the facts developed by the 1nVestlga-
ton speak for themselves.
My opinion is that there Should De
a constructive investigation with q
primary view of ascertaining the
true character and condition or All
policies and practices of the Shipping
Board and Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton, with view of taking proper
steps. to eliminate waste, -extrava-
gance and inefficiency, and placing
the conduct of Shipping Board affairs
upon a wise, economic basis. having
in view the public interest and the
establishment and maintenance or O
sound permanent American merchant
marine. Whatever waste. eXtrava-
gance, inefticiency, favoritism and
Kraft which may be developed by
such investigation should be elimi-
mated and, of course, those respons-
ible therefor must bear the odium
thereof"

on the disease, which is contracted
through dressing rabbits for market

than any other physician.

MENTAL HYGIENE
PROGRAM URGED
Survey and Clinic Recon-
mended at Meeting of Coun-
Gil of Social Agencies.

Need for an adequate mental hy-
giene program in the District was
discussed at meeting of the Council
of Social Agencies at the Raleigh
Hotel yesterday afternoon. DIR. Will
liam A. White, superintendent of St.
Elizabeth's Hospital, and DR.. Percy
Hickling, District alienist, were the
speakers.
The council took under considera-
ton suggestion made by DR.. White
that survey be made to see how
much work ought to be done in re-
lation to mental hygiene. especially
in regard to the possibility of a cen
trail clinic.
The council adopted q motion to
bring to the attention of William
Hodson, consultant Of the commission
of public welfare legislation. the
need for adequate lunacy legisla-
ton in the District.
Survey is Recommended.
DR., White said any survey of the
problem will fall short of giving any
exact idea of the true extent of Dor
der line mental cases, but that the
survey ought to be made. Then social
workers and others would have the
some private foundation to get funds
to start such a central clinic as he
proposed.
Preferably it should be located in
the center of the city. and not allied
with any particular institution. the
speaker said. He suggested the use
of. some war time building.
The personnel for such a clinic
practically doesn't exist DR.. White
said, but it must be found" He
told of offers made in vain by the
Mental Hygiene Association for two
neurc-psychiatristS at salaries OF
$4,000 each.
Says Need Is Crying One.
The need for the clinic is a crying

and said Mr.. Hodson. in the work
he is doing here, Ought to dc
something about it,
DIR. H:ckling suggested that the
new psychiatric ward at the Gal
for mental hygiene work here, de-
claring that the only objection is
that it is a little remote He de-
ciared that the present lunacy legis-
lation has much absurdity.
Argues for Clinic.
Mrs. Nina c. Van Wrinkle. chief of
the woman's bureau of the police de-
PAL tment. said that there are 1000
inmates a year in the house of de-
tertion that ought TO be examined
! mentally, and said that it would take
larger staff to take them to any
fther clinic. She expressed the hope
that such examination might be made

FLONZALEYS SCORE
IN SECOND CONCERT
Quartet at Central High School
Plays Chamber Music With
Usual Finish.

The f4onzaley Quartet. founded by
Z. j. de Coppet of New York and
generally recognized as the leading
world, gave the second Of q series
of three concerts in the Central High
School auditorium last night before
an attentive audience.
1t was particularly interesting to
of music offeped by the Festival
Quartet Of South Mountain and
1enoX String Quartet, which present
ed delightful numbers at Mrs. Fred
eric Shurtleff Coolidge's concerts last
week, in the Freer Gallery of Art.
The F1onzaleys infuse such warmth
OF tone and blend the qualities OF the
four string instruments so bcauti-
fully in each composition that 1t
little matters what old or modern
they played.
The first selection was Mozart's
Quartet in a Major" which opens
and closes with allegro movements.
The minuet was full of delicacy and
charm, and the andante con variaZioni
gave each of these artists opportu-
nifty to show his skill as we'll as their
unified excellence. The way in which
the melody Of the third movement
taken up by the viola and the two
violins in turn was delightful
The delicate Mozart was given con-
trast with n virile Romance" by P.
Vaughan Williams, and an odd, some
what disjointed "Rondo Capricioso,"
quite oriental in theme, by the same
composer.
The last number was Beethoven's
Quartet in c Major" OF its
three movements, the second stood
out as the most melodious and mel
low. The cello pizzicato work was
full OF rich resonance and the violins
and viola handled their more florid
passages perfectly. The minuet in
the last movement did not seem quite
so lovely in melody as the Mozart
minuet, but rose into an inspiring
finale.
