Senate to Hold Meeting Tuesday on Commissioners
CROSBY'S NAME
MAY STIR UP
CONTEST

Probably one Of the most i'm.
portant legislative weeks of the
present Congress, from the stand.
point of the District, will get
under way Monday.
Half a dozen matters of ex.
treme Importance to the National
Capital are due for consideration,
interest centering chiefly In Sen.
ate deliberations, where the Dis
trict will get its first full atten-
tion, that body having been en-.
crossed with the tariff thus far
this session.
OF most importance will be de-
liberation over the nominations
of the two new Commissioners.
The Senate District Committee
will hold a public hearing Tues
day morning on the names Of
Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby and
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer.
will Be Opposed q
CroSby'S name will meet with
opposition before the COMMITTEES
on the ground that he is ineligi-
BILE for appointment as a civil
commissioner because of his army
affiliations. No opposition to
Reichelderfer is expected.
It is expected that the nominal
ton of Edgar c. Snyder for re-
appointment as United States
marshal will be sent to the Sen.
ate on Tuesday.
Senator Hiram Bingham and
his District subcommittee of the
committee on appropriations will
begin hearings on the District
appropriation bill Monday morn
ing. The hearings will take vir-
tuaIly all District Government
bureau heads to the Capital to
explain items in the money bill
which passed the House last week.
May Seek More Money
It is probable that an effort
will be made through the Senate
committee to obtain a more liberal
contribution by the Federal Gov"
ernment to the upkeep and ex-
pansion Of the national city. The
House bill carries the $4,000, 600
lump sum contribution which has
been made annually for several
years.
The legislative committee II
the Senate in addition to con-
sidering the nominations Of the
Commissioners, will also seek to
take up half q dozen bills of inn
portance to the city. It is prob
able that some definite action will
be taken during the week on the
bill to replace the Center Market.
Also, further consideration will
be given the Cramton $23 ,000, ,0OO
park and playground purchase
bill.

35-CENT TAXIS
DEFY THREAT
Of UNION

The 35-cent taxicab companies
which started operations in the
District few weeks ago will not
increase their rates but will con-
tinue to battle the meter cab
companies for patronage and dill
have nothing to do with the cab
drivers union.
This was the gist Of the reply
Of the companies to the threat of
the Central Labor Union that
their drivers would be black
listed unless they fell in line and
recognized the scale Of wages paid
by the larger companies.
The old line companies pay
their drivers a commission Of 40
percent of money taken in as
against 80 per cent paid by the
IS cent cab companies.
Serious trouble is in the offing
according to E. C. Rayford, bust
ness agent of the Union, who
yesterday declared conditions are
critical as 500 cabs out of 1900
which operate on meters are
standing idle.
1t recently was announced by
the 35 cent cab companies that
200 additional cabs will be placed
in commission within a short
time. CheckupSn have shown addi-
tional cabs will make farther in
roads on the larger companies.

THORPE SCORES
PATERNAL|S|N

The spread of paternalism and
bureaucracy in the Federal Gov
ernment was described as a from
tai attack on Americas industrial
system by Merle Thorpe, editor
of Nations Business, in his ad-
dress yesterday before the eighth
annual convention Of the Mary
land Utilities Association.
Thorpe denounced paternaliSm
as IAN American brand Of state
socialism which is threatening to
undermine our democratic inStitu-
tionS. 1t breeds bureaucracy and
bureaucracy in the United States
is q greater menace than COM
muniSm or autocracy."
More than score OF bills, he
continued, are pending in Con-
gresS to have the Federal Gov
ernment embark upon some new
paternaliStic scheme, or to inn
pose some unduly drastic regula-
ton upon business enterprises.
ITO some of our statesmen" the
editor added, government regu-
lation is the first step leading
eventually to government opera
ton.
Praise of the highly developed
public service system of the utility
companies was the keynote of the
address Of w. w. Wheeler, adver.

and Potomac Telephone Company
Wheeler declared that good

Is, but what those who use it

 It had seemed 10 Thorne while he waited for the elevator to descend that first time, that it had taken longer than when he and Mrs. Win lew had come down in it from sec ing Lucy on the floor above, Was it that Mrs. Winslow had been in the attic and had come from there Mrs. Winslow, not overly coura- gcous, doing in the attic in the dead of night? And how had Lucy gotten to her bedroom without assistance, in her unconscious con- dition?
 And to think that both the shad- oW and Lucy had eluded him! It might be that Mrs. WinsloW had found Lucy unconscious and had taken her to her room by means of the elevator. Two things, however, were against that theory-how had she revived the girl in the brief time he was racing around the house or gotten her into inc eleva- tor and upstairs after his return the elevator would have betrayed itself by it's noisy machinery.

STORES REPORT BUSINESS BETTER
Other Lines Find Conditions Un-
 satisfactory Bradstreets Says

Boston, Oct. Il CUP) - Good de- pertinent store sales, but unsatis- factory conditions in most other lines, were noted in Bradstreet's Weekly Review of the local busi- ness situation issude yesterday.
 "The wool market eased off in demand with prices in mixed tend ency," the Review said. Some deal CTS offered certain grades at lower figures as a result of easier markets abroad, and others appeared to dis regard tendencies in foreign markets and showed firmer trend.
 There has been some slight ac- tivity in heavy leather particularly offal with a little firming in prices. Upper leather generally is quiet with hand-t mouth buying.
 "Conditions in the shoe manufac- turing business locally continue to be rather mixed with restricted pro- duction except in a few lines. Large wholesalers and chain stores are cautious and some manufacturers are operating on short buying from these sources. Retail business local ly is below normal and spotty.
 "The general volume in the wholesale jewelry business for the year to date is 30 per cent less than last year. The retail end of the bus mess shows a shrinkage of 35 per- cent over 1929. Collections are fair to slow.
 Dry goods jobbers report busi- ness as showing slight increase in volume. Mems furnishings and clothing are quiet. Suit and cloak manufacturers report business as unchanged, but showing no appreci- able increase. Department store sales have been good. Specially shop sales remain quiet.'
