Postmaster General Browns
proposal to boost letter postage
a half cent per ounce win meet
q storm Of protest in Congress,
Representative Celler CD, Of New
York. declared yesterday.
Browns plan would require a
az cent stamp on sealed letters
which now cost : cents. He has
declared it necessary in order to
reduce the huge postal deficit. It
is part Of Browns one ambition
as Postmaster General--to get the
Postoffice Department out Of the
"red" and make it self-supporting
Celler flayed the proposal in a
letter to Brown. He charged that
Brown is seeking to boost this
particular rate In order to reduce
the deficit on other classes Of
postage, chiefly the rural delivery.
Brown, he declared, would not
dare boost the rates on other
classes. such as the rural deliv-
cry and the parcel post. Celler
suggested the sale of advertising
space on stamp margins or on
the back of stamps. such as is
done in certain European coun-
tries, as q means to increase
revenue.

WATER REVENUES
INCREASE $4,000
Years Report by Donovan
Shows 81, 409, 406 on
Rents Alone.

Increased consumption Of water in
the fiscal year ended June 30, last,
added approximately 5000 to the
revenues of the water department, ac-
cording to figures compiled yesterday
by Maj. Daniel ]. Donovan, auditor and
budget officer.
The income from water rents alone,
the compilations showed, reached an
unprecedented total of 81 400 ,406, and
coupled with the assessments for water
mains it raised the revenue of the water
department for the year to grand
total of $1,57S,4 65.
The gain last year, however, Is only
a forerunner of an even greater increase
in the current fiscal year, in view of
the higher water rates which went into
effect July /, and the prolonged
drought this Summer which has re-
suited in an abnormal use of water
Maj. Donovan estimates that the in
come of the water department this year
would reach $2,007, 900, but this figure
does not include the revenue to be de-
rived from the excess consumption due
to the dry spell.
Consumption for Year.
Reports of the water department dis
closed that the consumption in the last
fiscal year amounted to $4,000, 705, 600
gallons, an increase of g. los, 513, 440 gal
Ions over the preceding year. This in
crease was equal to the combined gain
of the four years from 1925 to 1929

DEMOCRAT SW EEP
IN OHIO IS SEEN BY
SENATE CANDIDATE
Buckley Believes Buckeye
State Will Gust G. 0. P. in
All Races.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Ohio is going to spill the beans
for the G. o. p. in the congressional
and State elections next November, &C
cording to Robert j. Buckley, Demo-
cratic senatorial nominee in the Buck
eye State, who was in Washington yes
terday, discussing campaign plans with
Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee.
II Buckley is right in his estimate of
the political sentiment in Ohio this
Fall. it means far more to the Demo-
cratic party than the carrying of New
York, for example, or Massachusetts,
Ohio Is Republican stronghold. 1t is
part OF the great Middle West, a link
In the chain of States that stretches
from Pennsylvania on the East to Mis-
souri, on the West. If Ohio falls to the
Democratic opposition, the Republi-
cans will have fallen on evil days. Ohio
Is pivotal State. 1t was Ohio that
deserted the Republican column in 1916
and gave its electoral votes to Wood
row Wilson by some $4,000 lead in the
popular vote.
Leaders Are Confident.
The Democratic leaders, both national
and the Ohio party leaders, are
supremacy confident of success next
November One non-partisan agency in
Ohio which predicted that President
Wilson would carry Ohio over Charles
Evans Hughes, his Republican opponent
in 1916, when it was generally believed
that the Republicans would win, now is
predicting that Ohio will go Democratic
this fall by some 100000 votes. Such a
shift in voting from the party division
which took place two years ago could
only be brought about by a veritable
political uprising.
The Republicans, Senator Simeon D.
Fess, new chairman of the Republican
national committee, among them, will
deny fatty that any such result is to be
expected in Ohio this fall. But certainly
the Democrats are more sanguine than
they have been for years.

are business depression, unemployment
and prohibition, with the Democrats

SEEKING DEBT CUT
Visit of Sir Warren Fisher and
Premier'S Secretary May
Be to Sound Views.

Sir Warren Fisher, permanent secre-
tary of the British treasury, and
Thomas Jones, secretary to Prime Min
lister J. Ramsay Macdonald, head of
the Labor government in England, have
been In Washington for several days,
it was learned yesterday, comforting
with State Department officials. They
were accompanied by Alanson B.
Houghton Of New York, former Ameri-
can Ambassador TO Great Britain.
Although announcements here stated
that the purpose of the visit of the two
English officials to the United States
was to view historic early American
mansions, private cable advices from
London disclosed that their principal
mission in this country was TO sound
out sentiment on the question of a re-
duction In the war debts.
Arranged for Macdonald.
Mr.. Jones is the Col. House of the
Macdonald administration. Some weeks
before ofIicial announcement was made
that Prime Minister Macdonald was
coming to the United States Mr.. Jones
arrived, announcing that he had come
to pay some social visits and make a
sightseeing tour of the country. It de-
veloped that he made all of the ar
rangementS for Mr. MacDonalds visit.
1t was disclosed that he and Sir
Warren Fisher had spent several
weeks In New York, as the house guests
Of Mr.. .Houghton, before coming to
Washington the middle of the week.
According to normally reliable quar-
ters here. they discussed the subject
of debt reductions with the principal
New York bankers before sounding
out official sentiment on the same SUBJ
ject here.
There have been rumors for some
time that Great Britain would lead
another general European drive for re-
duction of the American war debts. A
similar drive has been made with each
succeeding American administration
since the end of the World War. Pres
ident Coolidge set hts face firmly
against 1t twice. In view of the fact
that a reduction in the European debts
probably would mean increased taxes
for Americans, it is believed similar
suggestions will meet the same fate al
the hands of President Hoover.

The United States Weather Bureau,
replying to a cable request from Harold

northern Pacific today. predicted good
flying conditions for the latter portion
of the aviator's nonstop flight across
the Pacific.
Reporting on conditions from the
Aleutian Islands to Tacoma, the
Weather Bureau replied:
Weather overcast, mostly stratus
clouds and unsettled from the Aleu-
tians to Tacoma for next three days.
Winds will be strong west, 40 to so
miles per hour at high flying attitudes. +"
Unofncial reports received from
points west of the Aleutian Islands also
indicated good flying weather, the
bureau announced
BY taking advantage of such condi-
tions weather forecasters said Bromley
would have advantageous tail winds and
low clouds.

No plane ever has flown so far over

The aviators' course lies along the

and generally follows the great circle

Far out over the ocean they planned
to reach the A1eutian Islands.
Although a nonstop night was
planned, the Aleutian chain, rocky and
wind swept, offered a precariouS haven.
