FAT HERS AID IS
LATEST

Pensions for fathers as we'll as
for mothers is. advocated as a
basis for District legislation by
the National Woman's Party in
a statement issued today.
Declining to take part in the
controversy between Miss Sophie
Irene Loeb and local interests as
to the proper form that a Dis
trict mothers bill should take,
Miss Maude Younger, congress
sional chairman of the party, to-
day Endorsed the broad principle
of the legislation and declared it
should be broadened.
Disabled Fathers Many.
II think that any Of US who have
been in social work realize that
there are often cases of disabled
fathers who are widowed or de.
serted, but who would like TO keep
their children together in the
home" said Miss Younger.
I'VE will ask Congress to adopt
this broader basis in whatever
legislation is framed. It will help
greater number of children and
remove the discrimination between
children who are fatherless and
those who are motherless, when
the need of the one may be as
great as the need of the other.
There could be no model bill, no
bill In keeping with the modern
trend of thought and events which
does not rest upon this broader
basis"

ANY
ATTACKS
Plan

An increase in the gas rate IN
the District would be imperative
81 the Washington Gas Light
Company is ordered to extend its
mains into Kenilworth and Ben
nings, It was said at public
hearing in the District Building
today.
The hearing was called by the
Public. Utilities Commission to
consider the petition Of citizens
associations for an extension of
service into the subdivisions OF
Jennings, Kenilworth, Burrville
and Deanwood.
Cost Excessive, Claim
The arguments Of the gas COM
pany tended to show that the cost
Of installing the pipe and the subse
quent service charges would put
additional burdens on the other
residents OF washington.
BENJAMIN s. Minor, attorney for
the company, said that the dis
lance over which the mains would
have to be extended was unreasOn-
able and that even after the service
was brought to these subdivisions
there was mo assurance that all
the residents would use gas.
He declared that the company
would get a return OF only 2 u per
cent on the in vestment.
Mains WOu1t; Gross River
1t was pointed out that an ex-
tension of service would necessitate
the laying Of mains across the bot
tom Of the Anacostia river, permits
sion for this being easily obtainable.
according to Commissioner Bell,
chairman Of the Public Utilities
Commission.
1t would cost the gas company
$176,971 to put in the mains re
uuested, according to d. d. Rams
dell, superintendent Of distribution
for the company.
Officials of the gas company were
unable to answer Major w. q. r..
CoveIl's question as to the approx
mate rise in rates which would fol
low the ordering Of these extern
sions.
The Commission retired to execu-
tive session. announcing its inten
ton Of giving decision later.

REPEAL OF FEDERAL TAX
ON AUTOMOBILES ASKED

Repeal Of the Federal tax on au.
tomobiles is urged in a letter to
Senator Smoot, chairman Of the
Senate Finance Committee, from
Thomas p. Henry, president of the
American Automobile Association.
Our association is against any
compromise on this subject" said
Mr.. Henry. IT strongly urge that
the Senate Finance Committee re-
open the entire question OF tax re-
auctions and consider the feasibility
OF repeating, instead OF merely re-
ducing, the discriminatory. burden
some taxes now borne by the mo-
toring public.
THE automobile owners Of the
country have made 1t quite clear
they are far from satisfied with the
partial relief granted"
