District Budget Showdown
In Congress Due Today

A showdown on the deadlockcd
District of Columbia appropria,
ton was slated to come in both
the Senate and House some time
later today. and it is probable
that each body will formally vote
whether 1t will stand by its own
conferees.
Members of the House confer.
ence committee signed a report
of disagreement in conference
shortly before noon today. It
was the purpose of Representa-,
tive Simmons to present this re,
port to the House and virtually
seek instructions. /
That the House will stand by
Simmons and his colleagues in
their determination not to allow
more than $4,000, 900 Federal ap.
preparation to the District budget
was practically assured.
Senate confereeS, holding out
for $4,000, 900, or a compromise,

lister such Q law, because 1t has
no control over these private
institutions.
This attempt has been made
for years before many of the
state legislatures to place pri-
vate schools on the same foot
ing as public schools in re,
ceiving a part Of the tax money
and all such efforts have been
defeated.
Il suggested to John ]. Moo.
nan, who has been advocating
these reduced fares, that he
request Senator TydingS to
withdraw his amendment.
Otherwise, I do not see how
the school fare bill can pass"
Senator Tydings said today
that he had not changed hiE
view that If there is to be a
free or two-cent or three-cenl
fare for school children in Wash
ington it should apply to al
schools alike and there is still
pending his amendment to strike
the word public" out of the Cap

Mildred Soper, 20, of Vienna,
Va, died today in Emergency
Hospital from burns on the body
received last night when the gas
oline tank of an automobile in
which she had gone for a ride
with two young men caught fire.
The girls companions, Francis
Ball, 10. Ballston. Va, and Jo-
seph Mills, West Falls Church,
Va, who attempted to put out
her flaming clothes by rolling
her in the grass, are still in the
hospital. Both were seriously
burned.
The motor caught fire, police
were told, when the trio stopped
at a filling station at Merryfield,
Va. While gasoline was being
poured in the tank, some Of it
dripped on a hot exhaust pipe
and flared up. The whole car
burst into flames.
The girl was dragged from the,
interior by her companions and
gas station employe, b,lt hy
that time her clothing had praE
tically burned off.

Tydi1gs' Attitude Doon1s
Cut Fare, Says Robsion

Expressing his anxiety to get
the legislation through, but
asserting that the Tydings amend.
ment will cause such controversy
as to block passage. Senator John
M. Robson (R.) of Kentucky.
member of the Senate District
Committee. today explained his
position on the Capper-McLeod
bill providing a reduced carfare
for school children in the District.
The Tydings amendment would
give reduced trolley and bus rates
to all schools, private and paro-
chial, as well as public.
Senator Tydings has announced
he will oppose the bill without
such an amendment; Senator
Robsion is set against it if the
amendment is to be included. Dis
cussing the school fare bill, still
before the District committee be-
cause of this disagreement,
Senator Robsion said today:
Il am very anxious to get this
school bill through. As 1t
passed the House it provided re-
duced fares for children of the
public schools Of the District.
Congress has provided free
buildings, free teachers and free
text books for the public
schools, and to provide free or
reduced transportation for pub
lie school pupils follows the
same policy.
This has always been the at
titude of States in dealing with
the schools. AS Congress is
about to adjourn, the TydingS
amendment could have but one
effeCt-tO defeat this Salutary
legislation, and the enemies Of
the measure certainly welcome
the Tydings amendment.
There are scores of different
private schools in the District.
including colleges, universities,
business and industrial institu.
tiOns, with pupils of all ages.
The Tydings amendment might
include all such persons and it
is serious question whether
the Government could admin.

. ON QUESTION
Of RIGHT

Three Face Commissioners
for Dry Law Infractions

The question Of whether liquor
cases in the District shall be heard
before Police Court judges or be-
fore a United States Commits
sioner, as in other Federal juris-
dictions, became the subject Of a
dispute late yesterday afternoon
when cases were divided between
the two authorities.
The question is one Of long
standing. Several times orders
have been issued to try the cases
in Police Court. and just as often
they have been countermanded.
The District Attorneys office and
the prohibition unit are said to
favor hearings before the COM
missioner. while it is believed that
strenuous opposition to this will
be registered by the judges. ,

cluded three on charges OF sale.

liquor. They were brought be-
fore Commissioner Needham Tur-
mage. Thirty-five other cases
were brought up in Police Court
before Judge John P. Mcmahon.
They were the result of an IN

officers throughout the District

DISTRICT SEEKS
LAND CONTROL

An endeavor to wrest further
powers from the National Capt.,
tai Park and Planning Commits.
sion under Col. U. s. Grant, 3rd.
in its control of District land,
was seen yesterday in the sub
stitute measure proposed to the
House District Committee by the
District Commissioners. in place
of a pending Joint resolution re-
lating to the control of wharves
and docks construction along the
Potomac River.
The original resolution. which
has already passed the Senate
and is now in the hands Of the
House District Committee, gives
the Park Commission full power
to regulate all building of wharves
and docks along the water front,
subject to War Department regu-
lationS governing navigable wa
terS.
The Commissioners, in their
proposal, seek to differentiate the
land to be controlled, stating that
the resolution should only incor,
porate the land adjacent to the
proposed George Washington
Memorial Parkway.
The battle between the Sun
Oil Company. said to be con
trolled by Secretary Of the 'Trea-
sury Andrew Mellon, and the
District, over the erection of
storage tanks and wharves Just
