PROBE FOR ALL
D. c. UTILITIES

The Public Utilities Commission,
began to realize today that the ef.
fects OF its action yesterday In
seyering relations with the Washing.
ton Rapid Transit Company may.
be much more far reaching than
had at first anticipated.
The appointment by the c0mmis-
sion OF William Nick. Clayton,
chairman Of the public utilities com.
n1ittee of the Federation Of Citizens
Associations, as special counsel to
handle the legality question indi.
cate that the commission viii delve
deeply into the ownership OF all
local utilities.
Probe All Utilities
At q conference today between
Clayton, Engineer Commissioner J..
Franklin Bell, chairman OF the
commission; Major w. =. r. Covell,
assistant Engineer Commissioner. and
Francis II. Stephens, public utilities
counsel, Clayton was instructed to
probe, not only the North Ameri-
cans relationship to the bus COM
pany, but the New York concerns
holdings in other utilities, including
specifically the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and the Capt..
tai Traction Company.
It was brought out at this confer.
ence that the legality question Ii by
its very nature closely associated
with the proposed traction merger
here. Claytonis job includes q study
OF this subject in conjunction with
the investigation Of the legality Of
stock ownerships.
Owns w. r. & e. Stock
The North American Company Of
New York, owner Of most OF the
bus company stock, is the owner
Of $4,000 Of 10000 shares Of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. according to the last re.
port of the Public Utilities Com
mission.
In addition. it Is understood to
control a much larger share OF
stock through its agents.
The New York concern has also,
according to rumors, been negotiat-
ing for control of the Capital Trac-
ton Company. It 10 not believed
to have a controlling share In
these securities as yet, however.

these had brought on strained re-

II opposed the election Of Mrs.

Mrs. Woodcock said. She was q
new woman in this locality and
worked to elect a woman who had

a longer period.

II also incurred the displeasure
of Mrs. Rowe when. after she had
invited Representative Gasque to
speak on his school board election
bill, got up and opposed his plan.
Mrs Rowe told me afterwards

of the hands of Secretary of Com.
merce Hoover and placing it in d
five-man Federal commission.
The committee will meet again to.
morrow to iron out the two pro
visions in dispute and report thai

One was intended to prevent dis
elimination by the commission
against any single station while the
other was written to provide CEN
sorship Of radio talks.
Both will be rewritten by a sub
committee including Senator Din (D.l

Representative Edith Rodgers Rl
OF Massachusetts. however, believed
private and semi.public institutions,
such as the Red Cross. were the
logical agencies through which the
plan should be worked out.
Trained Nurses Needed
II think It is high time the Gov
ernment took the lead IN building
up the health OF its young women, z
said Mrs. Norton.
There is q real need these days
for trained nurses, Why could not
the Government give thousands of
girls two weeks Of practical instrtc-
ton in nursing each summer?
"The experiences might lead many
seriously to study nursing The
training would give many q suf-
ficient knowledge, OF the funda.
mentaIs 50 that they would be OF
service in times Of epidemic or dis
asters or war.
.In view Of the huge reductions
In surtaxes, the Governments pros
perity seems fairly well assured and
the cost would not be heavy"
Mrs. Kahn was enthusiastic over
the proposal and cited the physical,
intellectual, and moral benefits of
the army training camps.
II believe it is a splendid idea
if it could be properly worked
out" said Mrs. Kahn. ''The army
camps have done a tremendous lot
of good for boys. If girl could be
given the same opportunities to
prepare for service to their Gov
ernment, the entire nation would
benefit"
Mrs. Kahn said the entrance of
women into business on such a
large scale during recent years
had raised question of RESPONSE
bility for their general health.
Girls Health Is Vital
"The boys and young men," she
said, 'are an asset to the nation
because they are its defenders.
Their health is important. So it
is with the young women, who
are also an asset to the Govern
ment, both In times of emergency
and during peace, as they are the
mothers of our next generation"
Mrs. Rodgers indorsed the gen.
eral proposal of giving mass sum-
mer camp recreation to the girls
and young women.
However she said, boys go
to the military camps for a spe-
cific purpose-preparatio for the
defense OF the State and nation, L
do not see how the army or the
Federal Government could prop
erly engage in the task of financ-
ing hundreds of camps throughout
the country for girls and young
women.
"Their work in war time is ori.

OF girls might be given instruction
in camps in nursing but such work
