EX-SENATOR REED
FACES CONTEMPT
Missourian and Aides Block
Judges Order With
u. S. Writ.
By the Associated Press.

by Lne ASSOCldLeu fECSS.
KANSAS CITY, Kans., December 13.
Contempt Of court citations, grow
ing out of the legal tangla in which
the Federal Reserve Life Insurance CO.
has become involved, today faced for
mer Senator James A. Reed and six Of
his legal associates.
The seven were cited yesterday by
District Judge w. H. McCamish for in
reference with court order. The al
legged offense consisted Of obtaining a
restraining order in Federal Court en-
joining temporary receivers for the $10,-
100000 insurance firm, appointed by
Judge McCamish. from performing their
duties in that capacity.
Reed, with Fred j. Robertson, former
United States District attorney for
Kansas; Joseph H. Brady, Kansas City;
E. H. Henning, Chicago, and Massey
Holmes and James E. Taylor, Kansas
City, associated with the former Sen
ator, and E. r. Sloan, Holton, KanS.,
were ordered to appear Monday morn
ing in District Court to show cause
why they should not be punished.
They acted at the request of the
Fire Insurance Co. of Chicago, ma
jority stockholders in the Kansas City
company. The order was signed by
Federal Judge John c. Pollock.
The application ordering the seven
attorneys to appear charged that they
had induced and persuaded Judge Pol
lock to sign the restraining document
and for that reason are in direct con-
tempt of court for holding Judge Nc
Canish's orders 'in light esteem and
defying his authority"

REALTY CONDITIONS
HERE SHOW GAINS.
Fewer Apartment Vacancies
Than This Time Last Year
Revealed by Survey.

Concrete evidence that the real estate
market condition in Washington has
improved over the situation existing
generally during the past two years is
revealed in statistical studies just COM
pleted by the Operative Builders Asso-
citation.
The surveys, made solely for the
guidance of the associations members
as to future building programs, but an
nounced at this time in conformity
with President Hoover's program of
organizing the Nations industries to
forge ahead, show that:
/. Despite the tremendous volume
Of apartment house. construction car
ried forward here in the past two years
the percentage of vacancies in COM
pleted buildings now is 9.86 per cent,
a reduction from a vacancy total of
1924 per cent for November of last
year, whereas vacancy Of 10 per cent
is regarded as normal.
2. Nearly twice as many new houses
were sold during October, November
and the first 10 days of December of
this year as were placed under con-
Struction in the same period. indicating
a pickup in the rate of new dwelling
sales, though not in the volume of sales,
as compared with last year.
Normal Business Outlook.
On these statistics, Rufus S. Lusk,
secretary OF the association, sees a
basis for normal" business in Wash
ington during the coming year in both
construction and sales Of residential
properties.
The survey figures are interpreted to
mean not that the volume of conStruc-
ton or sales of new residences now Is
greater than in last year, but rather
that the fundamental condition has i'm
proved, with houses selling at a faster
rate, with construction running at
slower rate than in preceding years,
thus reducing the number of unsold
houses on the market.
The lowering of the percentage of
vacancies in apartment houses during
this year Is more encouraging, since
with the continued addition of new
apartments the question often has been
asked Where are they going to find
tenants for all these new buildings2"
Statistics gathered, showing a 9.36
percentage of vacancies in apartments,
were obtained by the association from
of local realty concerns, covering 1850
apartment units, approximately 40 per
cent of the total in the city. All types
of apartments in various sections of the
city are included, each realty Office sub
mitting reports on all buildings under
its management.
Figures of Last Year.
When a similar survey was made in
November of last wear figures were
gathered on 1880 apartment units,
with a resultant showing of vacancies
for the better" Mr.. Lusk said.
Because of the reduced volume of
apartment construction now under way,
the vacancy total probably will fall to
about per cent by next March, Mr..
Lusk believes.
Apartments containing 2,040 units
have been started this year to date at
an aggregate cost OF $l2,304,500. Last

that there was little doubt as to his
identity.
Senator Blease lives In the Washing

the car crew, did not get on. Three

Another problem that is vexing the
administration, is where. to house
these new commissions. The tempo
rary structures constructed on the
Mall, south of the Capitol, during the
war emergency, are still standing
but many have degenerated to such
an extent that they are uninhabitable-
The Department of Justice and prac-
tically all government commissions
are now housed in rented buildings.
1t is the Presidents idea to get all
government departments in buildings
owned by the government at the ear
liest possible date, but with the pres
ent rate of growth of the federal gov
eminent it is difficult to see how this
can be accomplished for at least ten
years.

that this economy will save the tax
payers of the country many dollars
each year. BY certain faction this
is branded as pacifist move. A COM
mission of general staff officers will
shortly begin an intensive study of
the war department to determine how
expenses can be curtailed. Yet, there
is an undercurrent of opposition de-
veloping in and out of the department
which may block large reductions in
cost.
President Hoover admits that he
expects to appoint many more COM
missions during the next four years.
He has not impaired the nature of
these commissions, but has no hesita-
ton in admitting that he considers
the commission form of finding facts
for formulation of Federal policies the
best system extant. Mr.. Hoover has
always been partial to commissions
and committees. When he was secre-
tary of commerce, innumerable COM
missions and committees were APP
pointed to handle propositions which
were formerly delegated to an indi-
vidual. The great difficulty will arise
however, when the usefulness of these
commissions is at an end. Will these
men be willing to go back to private

districts Swedish is still being used
every Sunday, but it is said that the
most recent reduction of the Swedish
immigration quota has made it desir-
able to abandon the use of the Swed-

ish as church language in this coun-
try is practically dead.
