RAIN SLOWS WAR
ON CATERP|LLARS
Four Spraying Outfits viii
Require Months to Cover
Infested Area.

The caterpillar Of the tussock moth
is infesting downtown shade trees in
particularly troublesome numbers this
year. and efforts to destroy them by
spraying have been badly hampered by
rainy weather.
Clifford Lanham, superintendent OF
trees and parkings, said today that four
crews of men with as many spraying
outfits, have been fighting the pests for
two weeks. but that it will take some
three months to thoroughly cover the
infested areas.
For the most part the caterpillarS
have swarmed to trees ranging the
streets, particularly Sycamores, leaving
the parks comparatively free. Most of
these trees, Mr.. Lanham said, are in
the midtown section.
Dozens of appeals for relief from the
pests have come into Mr.. Lanham's
ofhce, and these are being answered as
rapidly as possible. The spraying crews
are using a solution of arsenate of lead.

MAY MAKE SURVEY
OF DRY ACTIVITIES
Plan Considered to Replace
Proposed Propaganda
Campaign.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The educational campaign planned by
the Prohibition Bureau appeared today
to be on the point of collapse.
President Hoover and high Treasury
officials have stopped the move to in
troduce propaganda into the schools,
and it was said no suitable posters for
use had been submitted.
Commissioner Doran said today that
he had about decided to use the $50, 600
appropriated for the campaign to launch
general survey to compile statistics as
to what the Government, the States and
municipalities have done toward en-
forcing the law since prohibition statutes
were written.
THE greater part of the $4,000 will
be used for that purpose" Doran said
Eve have been without SUFFICIENT funds
to compile accurate information on en-
forcenlent, and now it will be possible
Many letters reach the bureau inquir-
ing into the various phases of our &C.
tivitieS, and after the survey we will be
able to furnish this data"
The information, Doran said, would
be furnished to President Hoover's Law
Enforcement Commission as soon as 1t
was compiled.
Treasury officials said that it had
never been the plan to try to enforce
prohibition through the wide distribu-
ton of propaganda but that the en-
forcement would be directed in a
businesslike way. Doraa said that only
small part Of the $4,000 had been
used thus far.

DEPARTMENTS PAY
DAYS ARE DIVIDED
Some Federal Employees to Get
Checks Today, Others Tomorrow,
More on Monday.

One Government department will pay
its workers today, most of them will
pay tomorrow, but four or more will pay
Monday, the last day in the fiscal year
ending June 80, according to a survey
today.
The Department of Commerce was
the first to pay off its employees at the
end Of the year, and was distributing
pay envelopes today.
Controller General McCarl, the ar
bitter in financial affairs for the Gov
eminent, will not pay his employees I'M
til Monday. On the same day, the
Treasury, War and Interior depart
ments will distribute semi-monthly en-
velopes, while the remainder of the de-
partments will pay tomorrow, which
is halliday ending at l o'clock.
The smaller establishments of the
Government, it was understood, also
were divided in the practice of when
they should pay. The reason for the
wide difference is the fact that the end
of the fiscal year and the last pay day
Is June 80, which is Sunday.

Capitol Police Wear Winter Uniforms
When Superiors Provide No Other Garb

GnaSh's superiors. Rodgers states he
has left the matter of choice of uni
forms up to Capt. Gnash, for pur-
chases within the amount of the appro-
priation, $3.50 a year. Rodgers adds
that there is a great turnover in the
personnel of Capitol police. due to the
fact that they are political appointees,
and points out that the provision Of
two uniforms, o Summer one and o
Winter one, would mean more leftovers.
The Capitol police used to furnish
their own uniforms, and when they
paid for them themselves Summer and
Winter garb were prescribed. Then the
House appropriations committee, on its
own initiative, decided to furnish the
police with uniforms and the appropri-
alton was made, and the amount was all
those in charge Of the force said was
needed.
City police, letter carriers and most
other big groups of Government-em-
ployed, uniformed men are provided
with at least two sets of uniforms, one
for Summer and the other for Winter
The Washington police force is finding
it economical to have Summer and
Winter uniforms for the personnel.

The heavy, choker-collared uniforms
of the Capitol policemen, which keep
out the chill winds of Winter, are being
called upon again this summer to keep
out the heat, after the fashion set by

It. was q matter Of preference, and In

Capt Stephen q. Gnash, 70-year-old
chief of the Capitol force, does not
think his men suffer from the heat in
their double-duty uniforms, thinks one
uniform is sufficient and explains that
the Senate and House ONCE Buildings,
where many of his command of 80 men
are on duty, are heated in the Winter
and cooled in the Summer.
Recent visitors to the Capitol during
the hot spell, however, have gone so far
as to report policemen are suffering

forms.

extra motor cycle men yesterday turned
in SO arrests in the campaign for
greater highway safety in Washington
organized by Traffic Director William

chief of police, following a series of
fatal traffic accidents recently. These
arrests, according to Inspector E. w.
Brown, In charge of the Traffic Bureau,
numbered less than the average days
arrests by the bureau without the Is
additional men. Brown said he thought
the widespread publicity in the news
papers about the traffic fatalities had
caused general anxiety on the part of

fully, and hence there were less viola
tons as rule than usual.
UP to O'Clock this morning 900 ar
rests for traffic violations in all had
been made, including the 90 by the
Traffic Bureau. This represents about
the average daily number of arrests
throughout the year.

maximum penalties on defendants who
