WILL MARSHAL
FORCES IN
CONGRESS

Senator Arthur Capper Of
Kansas, chairman of the Dis
trict Committee, today de-
clared he would ask the Sem
ate Appropriations Commit
tee to assist in eliminating
dangerous portable schools
from the District of Columbia.
He made this statement on learn.
ing that local school officials are
preparing report for the Board Of
Education, in which recommends.
ton is made that no more of the
flimsy buildings be purchgA 4 and
that the rs po-tables now 81 be be
taken out of service as quferIy az
possible.
Will Ask Funds
"I am surprised and shocked to
hear that so many of these flimsy,
unsafe. portable school buildings are
still in use in the District Sena.
tor Capper said.
. ut is a disgracefuI condition and
one which / am sure does not OBJ
tain to such a degree in any other
city in the country.
when the appropriations COM
mittee meets, intend to bring up
this matter, with view to obtain
ing sufficient funds to carry out an
adequate school-building program as
soon as possible. eliminating these
dangerous temporary buildings"
ExOnerates Board
Capper made it clear that he was
not criticising the Board OF Educa-
ton for use of the poStables, but
was heartily opposed to existing
conditions which make necessary the
use of the criticised buildings.
1t is the intention Of the school
officials report on the portables to
bring to the attention Of Congress

ditions Of which complaint IS made

1Hey are STUDYING the transcript
Of the record to learn what may
be of assistance when hearings are
opened by the commission on Octo-
Der on the proposed unification
plan for the Capital Traction Com
pany and the Washington Railway
and Electric Company.
Merger Battle Ahead ?
Although hearings on the fare
raise phase of the situation were
concluded yesterday, a major en-
gagement still awaits on the merger.
Despite the opposition of the com
panies. the commission made its
merger proposal a part of the
proceedings which started when the
traction company filed its petition
for higher fares. The merger mat
ter has been touchd on in the
testimony. but always over the OBJ.
jections of both of the companies.
When the hearings are resumed
IL will be the major matter under
consideration with whatever may
crop out about fares purely Incl
dental.
Chance for Study
The commission is believed to
have executed clever move when
1t took a long recess after the
fare raise phase was exhausted.
This win give the companies an
opportunity to study the record
carefully; to figure out what kind
Of a case they have made; and.
50 far possible to determine from
the remarks and questions of the
commissioners what the action on
the fare raise petition may be.
They viii probably get very little
encouragement from such a study,
and. 1t is believed, will return to
the hearings next month a trifle
more receptive to the commission's
merger proposal.

the physical aspects of Gallinger.
The equipment and personnel will be
inspected in the manner followed
regularly by the American Medical
Society.
The new board viii hold no hear.
ings, nor will 1t examine the critics
of the institution. 1t Is expected,
however, to make a thorough survey
of the hospital and perhaps recon-
mend minor changes in policy.
To Make Inquiry
George Wilson, director of the
Board of Public Welfare, still was
in the dark today ais to the per.
sonnet of the new investigating
committee. formation of which was
recommended by the investigating
body of the public welfare organI.

yesterday.
Three men will make up the

sent the surgeon.generaI of the
Army, the surgeon-generaI OF the
