OF the United States on taxation and
powers Of national hanks have been
faVorably reported by special COM
mfttees to the board Of directors
of the Washington Chamber of Com
merce, and will be presented for
action at the next meeting of the

Robert N. Harper, heading a COM

tions that national banks be per-
mitted to have branches within
their own cities; that they should
be given indeterminate charters,
that they should be authorized to
deal in investment securities on a
basis not inconsistent with sound

banks should be authorized to make
mortgage loans for periods not ex.
ceeding five years.

WEDS CHINESE
YOUTH HERE
Couple May Be Separated by
State Authorities on Re-
turning Home

A precarious future faces a young
couple who today were married in
Washington by the Reverend Will
liam M. Hoffman. If they return
to the groom's home, at Covington,
Va. they may be separated by the
Virginia authorities and prosecuted
for illegal marriage, it was indi.
Gated by officials at the courthouse.
The difficulty arises from the fact
that the groom, Lau s.. Wah,
twenty-five years old. is Chinese,
while the bride, Zonie r. Camp
bell, twenty-one. of Waynesboro,
Va, is of the white race
In Virginia there is law pro-
hibiting inter-marriage between
white and colored persons. This
law. it is thought here extends to
members Of the yellow race. Should
the couple return to Virginia, it is
probable that the marriage will be
investigated by State authorities.
The young Chinese and his bride
came to the District marriage
license bureau early today directly
from Union Station and received a
license from Colonel Kroll. They
were married few hours later by
Doctor Hoffman.

Comedies With View of Bell
on CounciI-Plans Made
For First Meeting

Jesse c. Suter, chairman of the
Citizens Advisory Council, today
coincided in the prediction by En-
gineer Commissioner J. Franklin
Bell that the council is the first
step toward home rule for the Dis
trict.
1T was this thought that spurred
me on in the organization of the
council" Suter said. This is only
the beginning OF something real. 1t
is a stepping stone in the improve
ment of civic conditions here"
Suter declared himself in favor
Of District of Columbia representa-
tion in both Houses of Congress
and the Electoral College.
This is the first constructive
move toward recognition Of the
rights and the desires of the public
Of Washington in many years. :"
Suter said. II heartily indorse the
views on home rule as expressed by
Commissioner Bell"
Arrangements for the first meet
ing of the council Friday morning
at 1890 o'clock were completed to-
day.
Suter individually notified council
members Of the meeting with the
District Commissioners.
1t is likely that the councilmen
will take an oath Of office.
Such an oath has been prepared
by Daniel E. Garges, secretary of
the Board of District Commission
ers, and if the council approves, the
oath will be administered.
Rules of procedure will be the
'irst business Of the meeting. Tie
commissioners are expected to turn
over to the council data on the
financial condition Of the city for
study.

After two years at sea, grad

The order was the most
sweeping change in naval train

to make navy officers as IA

SURVEY
Departmental Chiefs Asked
Views on Substitute tOf
Half Yearly Tests

The Personnel Classification
Board is considering an annual
efficiency rating for Federal EN-
ployes as 4 substitute for the
seni-annual rating system that
is now used.
A circular letter was sent out
by the board to departmental Of
ficials asking for an expression
Of their views on this subject
The board has not vet taken any
definite stand upon it.
Some Favor Change
In certain departments the opiTl-
ion IS held that the semi-annual
efficiency rating system IS ctlmber-
some and unWieldy, chiefly because
Congressional appropriations for
personnel are made only on an IN
nual basis and promotion can rarely
be made In the middle OF fiscal
year even when the efficiency rat
ines show they are deserved.
rhe proposal before the depart
mental officials is to have q single
efficiency rating for the year as Of
May is, to be completed before
July ].
other Plans III View
Other minor changes in the eff
cheney rating system are also before
the personnel board for considera-
ton.
Until definite decision is
reached, however. regarding the
proposed modification Of the exist

credits will be given for seniority
and length Of service in the Federal
