Senate Has Already Acted
and Is Expected to Concur
in Amendment.

Controller General Approves
Claims of Capital.

BY vote of 237 to 70 the House to-
day passed the District surplus bill
which has already passed the Senate,
with one amendment, which will be APP
proved by the Senate without further
delay.
This legislation makes perma-
nently available a clear surplus OF
s4,438, 1892, repeatedly found to be-
long to the District in the Federal
Treasury after extensive investiga-
tion by special commissions appoint
ed by Congress. 1t also provides that
the controller general, being the chic
auditing officer of the United States
Government, shall decide whether
other sums totaling 1919, 9,373.s3 should
not also be added to this District
surplus. making the total approxi-
mately S5,300,0O0.
The bill was passed after Repre-
sentative Cramton had been defeated
by vote of 46 to "a in an attempt to
strike out the provision of the bill
which calls for this investigation by
the controller general.
Filibusters Are Dropped.
An amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Cramton provided that this
surplus be made available only for
permanent public improvements, such
as schools. parks and Fairgrounds
Representative Cramton said he did
not want to have the s5,009.000 used
for relief of taxpayers during the
next fiscal year. but that it should
be used for some of the important
developments that are needed in the
National Capital. This amendment
was approved, 81 to II.
Representative Thomas l.. Blanton
of Texas did not filibuster against the
District surplus bill, nor did Repre-
sentative Cramton, both of whom had
previously delayed action when this
measure was under consideration in
the House.
Representative Blanton, however,
did discuss the District surplus Ques-
ton and opposed this authorization
bill when the bill to extend Bancroft
place was up in the House.
BIanton Is Attacked.
For this action he was lectured on
the floor by Representative Ralph
Gilbert of Kentucky, fellow Demo-
crat of the House District committee,
who charged that Mr.. Blanton was
merely taking up the time of the
House to have his remarks printed
might stand before his constituents as
defending them against raids on the
United States Treasury.
Representative Gilbert asked his
colleagues, whose opinion should we
take" That of our own committee

investigation, but presumes to put
his mentality and judgment up as

2-PARK PROPOSAL

Work, Backed by President
and Budget, Submits
Recommendations.

Carrying the approval of the Di-
rector of the Bureau of the Budget
and the President of the United
States. Secretary of the Interior
Work today sent to Congress recon-
national parks in the Southern Appal-
achian Mountain Range.
The first park, which will be au-
thorized under a bill now in the House,
introduced by Representative Henry
W. Temple of Pennsylvania, would
be established at Blue Ridge, Va.
The Secretary also recommended that
an appropriation of $4,000 already
approved for a survey Of the Blue
Ridge site be increased to $4,000
for similar study and report on the
proposed second national park in the
Great Smokes area of North Carolina
and Tennessee.
Favors Both Parks.
The Temple bill, which was sent to
the Secretary of Interior and Budget
Bureau for consideration, would au-
thorize the Interior Secretary to report
TO Congress on the bounda ries and
area of such portions OF the two
by him to be acquired for national
park purposes and the best means for
acquiring such land. He would be
further authorized to appoint an ad-
visory commission of five park ex-
perts to make the surveys
Secretary Work declared without
qualification that he was in favor of
establishment of both proposed ma
tional parks, adding that one should
ha ad IN nj
Referring to the facts that Is of
the 10 national parks now in opera
tion are west of the Mississippi River,
while 20 per cent of the population
of the United States Is east of the
Mississippi, Mr.. Work said 1t was
his opinion that "a definite policy
should be adopted by the Govern
ment for the creation of additional
national parks in the eastern sec
tion for the public use and general
welfare of its millions of inhabitants.
Most of these live in densely popu-
lated communities, and cannot afford
time or money required to visit the
western national parks. The East
contributes its share to the upkeep
and maintenance of the existing ma
tional park system, and for that rea-
son. too, should be entitled to recog-
milton.
Favores Great Smokes Area.
Mr.. Work recommended that the
Temple bill receive favorable con-
sideration of the public lands COM
mittee. Turning to the second bill.
providing for the establishment OF
the second national park In the great
Smokes area in Tennessee and North
Carolina, he said: 'T am OF the
opinion that the second national park
should be established in the Great
Smokes area and that the commits
sion contemplated in the Temple bill,
If authorized by Congress, should also
be authorized to Investigate and re-
port on the best means of acquiring
the lands in that area"
The director of the Bureau of the
Budget took up the twin appropria-
tions totaling $4,000, referred to in
the two bills, with the President and
told the Secretary of the Interior that
such an expenditure would not be In

already has planned to have Johnson
make his debut as an actor in Wash

The Washington promoter is of the
opinion that Johnson possesses many OF
the qualities necessary to the making of
capable screen star, and that few
weeks Of training under expert direction
will fit the big pitcher admirably for
the work. If Johnson enters the films
Moore believes he will be given a con-
tract substantial enough to net him
within d short time more than he could
earn in base ball in several years.
Recent messages received by Moore
from Johnson indicate the stellar pitcher
is more than anxious to retire from big
league base ball, and that the moving
picture offer holds considerable appeal
Johnson stated before the beginning e
of the last base ball season that 1924
would be his last year in the majors,
as he wanted to become part owner of
a minor league club in the West that
he might be near his Nevada home
the greater part of the year.
