SENATORSAPPROvE
CAR LIABILITY BILL
Favorable Report to Be Made
on Measure as Passed
by House.

The Capper Mcleod safety response
bility bill for motorists, which passed
the House two weeks ago. moved a step
nearer enactment when the Senate Dis
trict committee voted yesterday after
noon to report it favorably without
change. Chairman Capper authorized
Senator Kean, Republican of New Jer-
sey, to make the report.
Favorable action came yesterday after
Traffic Director Harland and Assistant
Director Eldridge had added their testi-
mony in support of the bill to the ap-
proval it had received at a previous
meeting from officials of the American
Automobile Association and the Amer
lean Motrists Association.
This bill would not affect a careful
motorist, but driver who is convicted
of a serious traffic offense, or who has
Judgment obtained against him as the
result of an accident, would have to take
out insurance or furnish proof of finan-
cial responsibility before being per-
mitted to drive again.
Offenses Are Defined.
The measure refers to driving while
intoxicated and leaving the scene of an
accident as offenSeS for which a, person
would have to furnish proof of financial
responsibility before having his permit
restored. 1t also would include other
offenseS for which permits are sus-
pended under the traffic laws. In re-
sponse to question by Senator Robson,
Republican of Kentucky Director Har-
land explained this provision would take
in those convicted of three cases Of
speeding or two cases of reckless driv-
ing
Mr. Harland testified he has felt for
a long time the District should have
some form of financial responsibility,
and that legislation similar to this ap-
pears to be working satisfactorily else
where. The director voiced the belief
that this legislation would "break up
lot of speeding and reckless driving"
Would Be Great Preventive.
Assistant Director Eldridge said this
measure would not cure all traffic ills,
but would take of the streets bad
drivers who are unable to meet their
claims"
Senator Robsion said there is more
virtue in the bill as a preventive than
as cure
The committee also discussed a sep
arate bill to require financial RESPONSE
bility for all taxicabs in the District,
which was placed In the hands of
Senator Robson to put in shape for
final action at the next meeting. It
was indicated there was a general agree
Itnent on the responsibility feature, but
some uncertainty as to what other
phases of taxicab regulation would be
included One of the questions to be
settled is whether meters should be
required.

NO OPINION GIVEN
IN REPORT BY LUCE
Committee Chairman Says
VoIIbehr Question One for
House.

Chairman Luce of the House COM
mittee on the Library today submitted
to the House a report on the Collins
bill which would authorize an appro-
priation of $1,5oo,OoO for the purchase
of the Vollbehr collection of incunabula
for the Library of Congress. in which
the committee finds that the decision
should be made by the House itself.
Chairman Luce concludes his report
by saying: "In view of the fact that
this purchase. by reason of its magni-
tude, would embark us on an essentially
new policy. with limitless possibilities.
your committee feels the full respon-
sibility should be that of the House
itself. So it follows the course, rare but
not lacking parliamentary precedent, of
reporting the bill to the House without
recommendation"
The Collins bill sets forth that the
Vollbehr collection comprises 5000 items
of fifteenth century books, together with
the copy on vellum of the Gothenberg
42-line Bible, known as the st. Blasius-
ST. Paul copy.
Mr. Luce's report was made at this
time because if the offer of the owner
DR.. Otto Vollbehr, Is not accepted be-
fore adjournment of this session Of
Congress, the collection will be dis
persed by sale at auction.

TO STUDY
TARIFF CAREFULLY
Republican Leaders Expect
Approval After Thorough
Examination.

When the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill
finally reaches President Hoover for
signature he is going to study 1t slowly
and carefully before he acts.
This was stated at the White House
today and it naturally gave rise to the
belief that there is no reason to assume
that President Hoover has already made
up his mind as to what he will do when
he receives the bill This representa-
ton of the Presidents attitude also Is
taken to indicate that the President will
be minded when he enters upon
the study of the bill.
It was said that the President will
not act with haste when he gets the
bill. and that he will scrutinize closely
various schedules about which there has
been some contention. Moreover, the
President will have his departmental
heads, at least those whose departments
are more closely related to the tariff
question, carefully read the bill before
he either signs or rejects 1t.
The consensus of opinion among Re
publican leaders, however. is that the
President will eventually sign the meas
ure.
Senators Urge Vote.
Republican leaders of the Senate to-
day sought to work out an arrangement
that would insure a vote on the bill by
the end of the week.
Repulsed in an effort to obtain an
agreement for a roll call late in the
afternoon on the supplementary con-
flexible clause, they nevertheless we're
hopeful the way could be cleared for
early disposition of the bill.
A Democratic spokesman, Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, ranking
minority member of the finance COM
mittee, prevented the proposed agree
ment for vote today. Senator McNary,
the assistant Republican leader, pro-
posed such an agreement late yester-
day, but Simmons objected on the
ground that several members wished to
speak before taking a roll call.
With Senator Norris, independent Re-
publican, Nebraska, Simmons contendeo
much time might be saved, If the two
conference reports could be considered
at once. Only the supplemental report
Is now before the Senate. 1t contains
but six provisions, including the flexible
clause and the lumber tariff, while the
other section of the report contains the
hundreds of rate sections.
Objections Expected.
A belief persisted in the Senate today
that when the latter. Is submitted, points
of order will be raised against it neces-
stating it's return to conference. It has
already been approved by the House and
additional changes in conference would
require further action by that branch
of Congress.

BIameS Conditions and
PuniShments.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June "A series of
prison riots throughout the country
that will amaze you" was predicted for
this Summer by James B. Cox, secretary
of the National Society of Penal Infor-
nation, yesterday.
He blamed living conditions, the
Baumes law, and harsh punishments

of the Ohio State Prison, blaming his
administration for the dissatisfaction
among the convicts that preceded the
fire in which more than 800 prisoners
were burned to death.
He defended Warden Edgar S. Jen-
nings of Auburn, however Jennings
was removed because of the riots, he
said, which he had tried to forestall by
having the lifers removed from Auburn
and put in one prison.
Contrary to popular belief, he said.
the first Auburn riot was not shared by
the whole prison population but was
caused by plot of four men. who were
followed by rs others. Nevertheless, he
asserted, the privileges of all were re-
moved, resulting in unrest and a second
riot.
