TONS Norris said. There is no
fundamental reason why public
utilities should own newspapers and
thereby seek to control public opin-

TYD|NCS SAYS j. S.
SHOULD HELP OUT
Urges Bill Posting Prizes for
Annual Contests by Amer
lean Artists.

The National Capital would be the
snene of an annual contest in art and
sculpture to be exhibited by artists from
any part of the United States, under a
bill introduced in the Senate today by
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary
land.
Five cash prizes. ranging from $4,000
for the first to ST. 900 for the last. would
be awarded by the Government for the
five outstanding paintings and the five
best pieces of sculpture. Appropriate
Winning pictures and pieces of sculp-
ture would become the property of the
United States and it is the idea of Sen
ator Tydings that after the contest had
been in progress for sufficient num-
Der OF years. the winning paintings and
statues would form national gallery of
American art work in Washington
THE exhibition" Senator Tydings
said, should be held annually in Wash
ington and would, believe, attract
those interested in art from all over the
world. It certainly would be great
stimulant to all citizens engaged in
either painting or sculpture: it would
tend to develop American art and would
increase the appreciation of the Ameri-
can people for the beautiful.
THE plan is inexpensive and would
require only $4,000 a year for prizes
and incidental expenses. The prestige
OF winning any one of the five awards
would amply compensate the confession
for surrendering his creation.
1T is q sad commentary on our
Government that, while we can expend
money in fabulous amounts for every
thing material, there is little which
we have as yet supported that is abb
stractly beautiful, yet concretely val
liable to our Nation"

DIPLOMA MILL BILL
| is NEARING ACTION
Conferees Reach Agreement
Upon Provisions of Pro-
posed Measure.

Legislation to prevent the operation
Of diploma mills" in Washington,
which has been before Congress for sew
eral years, moved step nearer enact
ment today when Senate and House
conferees reached an agreement on the
detailed provisions. All that remains to
be done is for the two branches of Con-
gresS to ratify the report of the con-
ferees, after which the bill would be
ready for signature.
The provisions of the bill are:
First, an increased fee for the In
corporation of institutions of learning;
second, that a license from the Board
of Education would be required by an
institution intending to confer degrees,
except as to institutions Incorporated
by Congress; third, that applicants for
licenses to confer degrees would have
to furnish evidence of character, quail
ifications to conduct an institution of
learning and information as to the
equipment of the school to conduct the
studies offered; fourth, provision for re-
voking licenses reserving the right to a
public hearing to the license, and with
the further right of appeal to the court,
and fifth, restriction on the names of
corporations and penalties for viola
tons.
When the bill was recommended to
the Senate and House by the District
committees it was pointed out that
institutions incorporated under the Dis
trict code could advertise extensively
that they were operating under the SUI
pervision of the Federal Government.
The ACCESSIBILITY of regulating institu-
tons Incorporated here for the purpose
of issuing degrees has been under con-
sideration for more than 10 years by
local business and educational interests.
The conferees eliminated two Of the
amendments made by the House and
modified one other amendment.

COMMISSION MAY
co ON FULL TIME
Prince Georges Growth
Given as Reason for
Change in System.
BY GEORGE PORTER.

BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, February
2l.--Radical change in the makeup
of the board of county commissioners
for Prince Georges County is foreseen
as a necessity by officials here due to
the Increasing duties imposed upon the
board as the county grows.
While no definite action is planned
in the immediate future, it is pointed
out that the commissioners now have
difficulty in transacting all the bust
ness that accumulates for them during
a week at their single days session on
Tuesdays.
Citing the minutes of the last few
meetings to show the board remained
in session long after the close of the
regular business day, one county leader
declared yesterday the work could be
handled more efficiently if the num-
Der of commissioners was reduced from
five to two or three, who would be
given an adequate salary in return for
devoting their entire time to the coun-
TVS business.
In addition to performing the func-
lions of the governing body of the
county, and directing disbursements,
the commissioners now sit as an as
sessment board, a road board, and
starting next month, as a coming board.
Functioning as they are on part
time basis, l. is impossible for the COM
missiouerS to make personal inspec-
ton or investigation. and must pred
icate their decisions in many matters on
secondhand information.

which eight Army flyers were killed.

cluded provisions for requirements OF
obsolete aircraft, reserve of airplanes
and engines and adequate funds for re-
search and maintenance of material.
While comparatively little can be

a substantial reduction in the number
OF accidents due to pilots errors
in personnel and serviceable craft I'M
doutbedly will have a favorable influ-

Accidents due to power plant OF
structural failures can undoubtedly be
decreased by more and better scientific
research, by steps taken to improve the
service status of enlisted mechanics Sc

they have been trained, by provisions
for more aircraft of the latest accepted

CONTROL OF AUDITOR
SOUGHT IN ASSEMBLY
Maryland officials Pay Would Be
Raised $1,000 Under
Amendments.
BY a stan Correspondent Of The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, February 2l.-
Placing Of the State auditor directly
under the division of financial review
and control of the State is provided for
among a number of amendments to the
present law governing the appointment
and qualifications of the State auditor
introduced in the House by James y
Lindsay, majority floor leader.
Similar changes have been advocated
since the first discovery of the pecula-
tons in the State Roads Commission
funds, which covered period of eight
years, and the bill is a result of the
numerous Investigations.
One of the amendments provides
: that the State auditor shall be appoint
ed by the governor, to serve at his pleas
urey but it takes the direct control, after
appointment, away. The change would
wipe out two deputy auditors and SUBJ
stitute one, the latter to be appointed
by the auditor, with the approval of the
governor. 1t would raise the salary OF
the auditor from $4,000 year to $500
and increases the bond from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Under the proposed changes the audi
tor must be a. certified public account
ant with at least three years Of expert
ence.
