CAPITOL DEATH
CIT IS HIT

An attack upon the policy Of
Congress In paying six months
salary to the families Of Capitol
employees who died while in active
service was made on the floor of
the House today by Representative
Charles L. Underhill Nof Massachu-
sets.
Representative Underhill declared
Congress was setting dangerous
precedent in making such payments
and predicted employees of executive
departments would request similar
privilege II the policy continued.
Representative Thomas l.. Blan-
ton Of Texas, came to the defense
of the Capitol employees. He de-
clared it is only just to make the
payment since a full years salary
Is paid to families of deceased mem
bers of Congress.
'The six-month's salary paid to
families of these poor employees
often is no more than sufficient 20
pay the, funeral expenses" he said
when a member OF Congress
dies the Government shares In
these expenses and 1t is only right
we should extend the same priv
lege to those who assist us in our
official duties

REPAIRS
MUST WAIT

An item providing 100000 for
the repair Of the Highway Bridge
was stricken out by the Budget
Bureau, Lieut.. Col. r. Franklin Bell,
Engineer Commissioner. said today
in answer to charges Of the Airing
ton County Citizens Association
that the bridge was delapidated
and decayed.
I'VE win have to be content with
patching the roadway where It is
broken up until the Budget Bureau
realizes the need for complete re-
pairs" said Colonel Bell.
The citizens association in q
letter received by the Commissioners
today claims that the structure is
"fIimsy'' and the condition Of the
roadway across the bridge is an
inconvenience to more than $4,000
residents of Virginia. They ask
that immediate action be taken to
remedy the conditions.
Colonel Bell said that the asphalt
breaks up rapidly in the winter time
but that no lasting patchwork can
be done except in the summer. The
cost of replacing the roadway with
new asphalt will be born by the
District

W00lLEE ROAD
BUS ARGUED

The Public Utilities Commission
today gave joint consideration to
applications from the Capital Trac-
ton Company for permission to
run a de luxe bus line from
Thirty -fourth and ordway Streets
Northwest. downtown. and from the
Capital Traction and Washington
Railway and Electric Companies to
extend the Woodley Road bus lines
into Richmond Park.
Residents of the two sides of
Ordway Street were divided on ex-
tension of the Woodley Road line.
Those living on the north side Of
the street, belonging to the Rich
mond Park Citizens Association,
are unanimously in favor of the
proposal. while those living on the
south side, not members OF the
association, object to any change.
According to William F. Ham,
president of the Washington Rail
owners, with the Capital Traction
Company, of the line, the service
Is needed
Ham objected to establishment
of the de luxe" service, insisting
that the Woodley Road line is now
showing a substantial loss and
that such competition. particularly
at the source of the line, would
be disastrous.
He further indicated he did not
believe the reported luxury of the
de luxe" line warranted the,
charging of 25 cents a ride. He
said the new buses of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany were about as comfortable
as the parlor cars.
That part of the petition routing
the proposed de luxe" line on
California Street was withdrawn
by William E. Hamilton, president
of the Capital Traction Company,
after objections were filed by resi-.
dents of the neighborhood.
Representative Oscar Keller, of
Minnesota, and W. S. Caples, pres
ident Of the Richmond Park
Citizens Association. spoke APPROX
ing extension of the WoodIey Road
line. and o. r. Evans objected to
the change.
Traffic Director M o. EIdridge
sent in his objection saying the
busses- would add to congestion on
Massachusetts Avenue.

The way was prepared today for
the appearance of Clarence OAR
row and other national celebrities
before the Judiciary Subcommittee
Of the House District Committee
next week, in support of the bill
to abolish capital punishment in
the District of Columbia.
The committee met today for
organization and to invite the
judges of the District criminal
courts and other local representa-
tiyes to appear before it Monday
morning.
Death Penalty Attacked
Today's meeting was featured by
q sharp attack upon capital pun
ishment as relic of barbarism" by
Representative Clarence j. Mcleod.
of Michigan, and Representative
r. Rathbone. OF Illinois.
Representative Rathbone declared
that capital punishment laws de-
feat themselves because juries are
reluctant to impose the death pen
atty. ,a.,,a s.
convicted and punished are ac-
quilted because juries are faced
by the alternative of imposing
death or freeing the prisoner,
Representative Rathbone said.
There is not one case in
hundred where the death penalty
is inflicted for homicide. This
shows that juries will not inf1ict
the capital sentence except in ex-
treme cases. Such laws, there
fore, are often imperative and such
severe penalties are not practical
Degrading to State
ut is degrading for the State 70
infIict capital punishment. This
movement in the District Of Co
lumbia to end the death penalty
Is no mere furry, but is the result
Of q worldwide movement among
those who have the cause Of hu-
nanity at heart.
II II were shown to be necas-
sary for the preservation OF society
s / would uphold the execution OF
murderers. but the facts show that
the death penalty does not letter
crime .
Representative Robert G. Hous.
ton, of Delaware, declared that II
the dnath penalty is abolished the
parole system must be modified so
that desperate criminals cannot es-
cape after serving only a part Of
their sentences.
On motion OF Representative
Houston the committee agreed to
invite all District citizens and off
