50 DRY LAW CASES
SET 48-HOUR MARK
Smoke Screen Forces Police
to Abandon Pursuit of Two
Liquor Cars.

Approximately 30 new cases involving
violations OF the prohibition law, rec
ord number for 48-hour period, were
brought to Police Court today by local
police and prohibition agents. No
papers were issued and the defendants
were released by the office Of the United
States attorney, in Ave of these cases.
A long chase which Sert. George
Little and his whisky squad lost due to
binding smoke screen laid down by
one of the rum running cars was re-
ported.
The sergeant said that the chase took
place on the slippery streets of the
Southeast section OF the city at about
O'Clock Sunday morning.
Informed that two cars equipped
with Smoke-Screen devices would at
tempt to bring rum into the city, Little
stationed two men at the west end OF
Pennsylvania Avenue bridge. with orders
to fire at the radiators of the suspected
automobiles as they passed. Little, &C
companied by Leo Murray, waited on a
side street at the other end of the
bridge.
The rum cars sped by Little's car,
which was partially blocking the street,
at a speed estimated at go miles an
hour. AS the police gave chase. the
rear car, which was without light or
license plates, emitted a binding stream
of smoke. The police at the end of the
bridge fired at the leading automobile:
but failed to halt it. The police followed
for about half a mile when they were
forced to abandon the chase.
Little later discovered one car in a
garage in the 500 block of Tenth street
southeast. Four bullet holes were found
in the radiator, which was dry. The
license plates and the smoke screen ap-
paratus had been removed, although
there was remaining evidence of the
latter. Little said this morning that
he is sure he knows the identity OF the
promoters of this plan to bring whisky
into the city.
The sergeant warned that all cars
using smoke screens to throw of police
pursuers will be fired upon. He denied
that he gave an order to fire to kill, as
was first reported.

EXPRESS HIGHWAY
SURVEY is URGED
Proposal for Commission to
Study MotorWays System
Discussed With Hoover.

Encouragement was given at White
House conference today to a proposal
authorizing special commission to study
the construction Of national system of
express motor ways. 1t has been sug-
gested that the Federal road aid system
be extended to the construction OF these
highways.
Senator PhippS of Colorado, chairman
OF the Senate committee on post Of
fees and post roads, House Leader TIL
son, Representative Robson of Ken
lucky ranking Republican member of
the House committee on public roads,
and Lester p. Barlow, Detroit engineer,
we're in the delegation which called
upon the President urging the Phipps-
Robson resolution now pending in both
the House and Senate, which calls for
creation of such a. commission. The
Presidents attention also was invited
TO the fact that the carrying out of the
proposals for establishment of an ex-
press motorways program might offer a
solution of the problem of unemploy-
ment.
Numerous suggestions have been
made recently" Mr.. TilSon said after
the conference, looking toward estah-
lishment of national system of ex-
press motorwayS connecting large CEN
tiers of population throughout the
country.
Experts on highway problems agree
that many links in a system of this
character should now be built and the
cost of these amortized over a period
of years out OF tolls. The large income
derived from toll bridges. of which there
are now hundreds throughout the coun-
try, and of small stretches of road at
various places, offers proof that the
opinion of experts on this question is
sound.
"A program of this character could
be carried out in such a manner as to
stabilize employment conditions, work
being reduced to a minimum when the
labor demands Of private industry are
large, and expanded when private in
duStry is depressed.
THE problem is too vast to be hastily
considered. All we are suggesting at
this time is the creation of commission
to study the proposal. No one wishes
toll roads or toll bridges, II they can
be avoided. but it is better to have
system of publicly owned national ex-
press motorways which shall be toll
roads for a time and then become free
than to have arteries OF transportation
blocked by numerous toll bridges and
perhaps later by stretches of toll roads
which are privately owned and
operated"

REPORT FAVORABLY
ON FREE BOOK BILL
District Commissioners Send
Recommendation to Sena-
tor Capper.

The District Commissioners today
sent favorable report on the free
text book bill to Senator Arthur Cap
per, chairman of the Senate District
committee. The bill proposes to place
free OF charge in the hands OF all stu
dents at the senior and junior high
schools the text books and supplies
needed in the pursuit of their studies.
This Is already done in the case of
elementary schools and for those stu
dents in the junior high schools who
belong TO the eighth grade, but 1T will
take special legislation to supply the
students above the eighth grade. Last
year the bill was approved by the Com
missionerS and sent up to Congress,
but was not enacted. The bill has also
the approval OF the Budget Bureau,
which held that 1t was not lin conflict
with the financial program of the Presi-
dent"
To place the system In effect, the
commission estimates would call for an
initial expenditure Of 3242,088. followed
by annual bills of about 100000. OF
the latter sum. about $45 900 will go for
replacement of old. wornout and I'M
sanitary texts and the balance for sup
plies.
Elementary school children have been
supplied with books at the cost of the
taxpayers since 1891, and the present
desire to extend the supply to the high
school children is based largely on the
recently passed compulsory attendance
law. which Compels children to remain
in school until they have completed the
grammar grades or reached the age of
Is. The practical effect of this is that
many children are by law compelled to
go to high schools and pay for their
books.
"These books" the commissioners re-
port stated, ARE not of the type kept
usually for home libraries, and the re-
suit of the present system is that
thousands of books are purchased an
nually by parents only to be discarded
at the end of the year"
The commissioners also pointed out
that free text books are provided to
high school pupils in Arizona. Mary
land, Nevada, Rhode Island, California,
Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire,
Texas, Montana, New Jersey, Wyoming,
Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Delaware
with the exception of. the city of Will
mington) and New York City
