The Washington times., 1930-12-31

Here are rev OF Lne governing
factors:
/. Coaching: wallace Wade is
more experienced than Babe
Hollingbery. He is more conser-
vative and it's not probable that
his team can rise to any such
heights as washington State did
to beat Southern California, 2
to 8.
2. Psychology: All in favor Of
washington State due to the fact
that It is the pubhciZed underdog.
The boys are seeking vengeance
because their win oyer the Tro-
jams was not given due credit in
this district.
g. Running attack. A stand-off /.
4. Passing: If EllingSen dis.
plays the same accuracy that he
did against California, he'll at
least hold his own.
5. Kicking: Once again Filing
sen cannot be given a back seat
to either Cain or Suther and it's
q good bet that he'll gain yard
age on most exchanges.
6.i.Goal kicking: Maskell, of the
Cougars, is in a class by him
self, while 'Barna is go weak that
q substitute lineman often is
pressed into service.
The extra point might decide
the ball game.
Better Defense
2. Defense. Alabama must be
given the edge in this respect,
although the Northerners are not
weak. Only 13 points have been
scored against the Tide. to 80
against Washington State.
8. Experience. There is little
to choose as the Tide will start
the game with 10 seniors to
seven for Washington State.
8. Weight. It's interesting to
note that the aggregate weights
show only one pound difference,
with Alabama totalling 2,060 to
their rivals 2,059.
10. Reserves. Washington State
has distinct advantage.
In view Of this, it doesn't seem
possible that Alabama is quoted
at Q to l., and this very factor
might contribute to the Tides
downfall, as there was more
spirit to Washington States
practice session because of 1t.

Regarding Fridays match,
warning is served on the local
team that the Nutmeggers are so
"hot' they are scorching each
others. In warm up match
against the Hartford A1lStars
last night they slapped over 1887
pins, the highest 3-game total
ever rolled in Connecticut. Bill

and Jack White, 400. Ray

The National Pale Drys were
way off form in their match with

career, 2,772 against Hyattsville's

taking top honors.

motion of Justice Alfred A. Wheat tc
be chief justice of that court.
Announcement yesterday In The Star
that the President had decided upon
Mr.. Adkins for this important place on
the bench was received in Washington
with general approval, and the White
House has every reason to feel that the
Senate readily will confirm Mr.. Adkins

The appointment was made on recon-
nendation of Attorney General Mitchell,
who personally made a close servey of
Washington attorneys and even con-
sidered available material outside of
Washington in obtaining the type of
man the President desired for this
bench.
Mr.. Adkins was not a candidate, but
was prevailed upon by friends to per-
NIT his name to be considered. He was
Endorsed by prominent members of the
bar and business men and by the local
experience as a lawyer, having served
as assistant United State attorney for
the District and as Assistant Attorney
General and Special Attorney General

DISTRICT BILL STILL
IS HELD IN IMPASSE
Senate Conferees Stand Firm on
Compromise as House Re-
fuses to Bulge.

With the conferees still at an i'm
passe over fiscal relations, the situation
regarding the District appropriation bill
remained unchanged today
The Senate conferees are unanimous
in the belief that the increase in the
cost. of maintaining the Capital City
calls for some increase In the $4,000 600
lump sum ON which the House has in
sisted for the past several years The
position of the Senate group is that
until the House members are willing
to discuss some compromise there is
nothing to be gained by continuing the
conferences.
1t has been pointed out on the Sen
ate side that they are not insisting
upon acceptance of the Senate action
in raising the lump sum to $4,000, 900,
but are firmly of the opinion that the
House should meet the Senate on
some midole ground between the two
viewpoints.

PAY BILL ACTION
OFF UNTIL MONDAY
TiISon Hopes for Agreement.
Simmons EnIistS Demo-
Gratis in Fight.

Unless an agreement can be nego-
tiated, no action can be taken by the
House on the police and flremen's pay
bill before Monday, when the House
rules committee will meet, House Leader
Tilson said today.
"I am hopeful that an agreement can
be arranged" said Mr.. Tilson. "T'hose
who are now in antagonism on this
measure are almost in agreement. It
would be a shame when they are close
to an agreement to let such an impor-
tant measure be lost"
It was learned today that Representa-
tive Simmons of Nebraska, chairman
of the subcommittee on District appro-
priations, who forced the so-called
Donovan amendments through and who
objected to unanimous consent to send
ing the bill to conference with the
Senate, now has organized Democratic
opposition to support his fight against
the bill unless his terms are agreed to-
Minority Leader Garner and Represent
alive Byrans, of Tennessee, ranking
Democrat on the appropriations COM
mittee, are ready, it was learned, to
support Mr.. Simmons.
Situation Is Tense.
The situation has become very tense
with bitter feeling expressed. 1t Is for
made today to secure an agreement
under which the bill will be sent to
conference by unanimous consent and
with an understanding that the House
conferees will not recede on the So
called Donovan-SimmonS amendments
without bringing back to the House for
an opportunity for the House members
to vote directly upon them.
Representative Simmons is attempt

He desires to have the House con-

declared that they would not act as

TWO MORE PRIMARY
PROBES DECIDED
Senate to Investigate New
Jersey and Oklahoma
Campaigns.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The senatorial primary campaigns in
New Jersey and Oklahoma are to be in
vestigated by the Senate slush fund
committee. it was learned today.
The committee has already begun in
vestigations into the primary elections
in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Senator
Nye of North Dakota, chairman of the
investigating committee, will leave here
today or tomorrow to go to Chicago,
where he will confer with investigators
employed by the committee preparatory
to holding hearings In Illinois later this
month,
According to reports received by the
Senate committee money Is being spent
lavishly in the New Jersey campaign,
where former Senator Joseph 8. Freling-
huysen, Dwight w. Morrow and Repre-
sentative Franklin Fort are engaged in
nomination. The primary election
takes place June II, and victory is
claimed by the supporters of all three
candidates.
May Await Ballots.
1t is unlikely that the Senate inquiry
into the New Jersey campaign expendi-
lures will be begun by the committee
until after the primary is held. On
the other hand 1t is expected that the
committee will send investigators into
the State at an early date to look into
the charges made of excessive expendi-
lures there.
limits campaign expenditures in the
senatorial campaign to $50, 1000 per can
dtdate. The charge is that this limit is
being considerably exceeded
Mr.. Morrow and Senator Frelinghuy-
sen have both come out in opposition
to national prohibition. Representative
Fort on the other hand, is running as
dry, and is reported to be gaining
considerable strength
The Senate investigating committee
has received reports from Oklahoma,
, where Senator Pine, Republican, is
seeking denomination this year, to the
effect that large amounts of money are
being expended both in the campaign
for the Republican senatorial nominal
ton and in the Democratic campaign.
Little Progress in Illinois.
So far as the Illinois primary is
concerned the Senate committee so far
| has merely had statements from Mrs.
Ruth Hanna Mccormick and Senator
Charles S. Deneen. 1t still has to hear
| from the various committees, State and
county. Mrs. Mccormick testified that
she herself had expended nearly $780,
900 of her own money. Senator Deneen
told the committee he had expended
about one-tenth of that amount. The
| Democratic nominee, j. Hamilton Lewis,
was practically unopposed for the nomi-
nation, and spent only few dollars.
The committee has gone further into
the Pennsylvania primary, where Secre-
tary James j. Davis of Department of
Labor won the Republican senatorial
nomination over Senator Joseph r.
! Grundy. The county chairmen in
| Pennsylvania are allowed 80 days in
which to file reports Of their expendi-
lures, and it is unlikely that the Sen
ate committee will hold any further
hearings on the Pennsylvania primary
until after those reports have been
| made. Members of the Senate COM
mittee are expressing the opinion that
unless something unforeseen turns up
| there will be no grounds on which to
challenge the nomination of Secretary

1(CENT CAR FARE
ATTACKED IN BRIEF
Joint Utilities Argument Is
Submitted to Supreme
Court by Counsel.

Sweeping grounds and in opposition
to the granting of 10 cent fare to
Washington street car companies today
were set forth in a joint and final brief
in argument in the rate case filed in
the District Supreme Court on behalf
of the Public Utilities Commission by
Vernon West, assistant corporation
counsel, and Richmond B. Keech, peo-
pies counsel.
AS "the only course through which
the public and company can be pro-
tected they asked the court to deny
the petition on the grounds that the
two street car companies had not
offered sufficient proof Of their need
for an increased fare, and made these
alternate suggestions: That the court
either cause a revaluation of the trac-
ton company properties through the
medium of a master in chancery or the
auditor, or else remand the Public Util-
tiles Commissions with instructions to
revalue."
Previous Facts Covered.
The 46-page brief, which covers at
in the petition of the car companies,
was signed by West as counsel for the
commission, and by Keech as the indie
pendent advocate of the public.
The effect of revaluation is two
fold, they told the court. 1T would
provide an element necessary to de-
termination Of proper rate base and
would do much in our opinion to bring
the car-riding public and utilities to-
gether, the latter being essential to the
welfare of the two railways. Partic-
ularly is this so because of the fact
that people now have other sources OF
TRANSPORTATION, comparable in price and
much more expeditions. Furthermore,
1t is also our belief that the public gen
eral would accept an increase, with
much better grace If it knew 1t was
based upon a recent valuation rather
than one built up in an uncertain man
ner."
william H. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway g. Electric Co.,
which joined with the Capital Traction
Co., In petitioning for a fare increase,
was quoted In the brief as having stated
at the hearings that "a revolution
would be helpful to the commission in
determining these cases."
Fairness to Public.
The document sets forth in brief
that the court can not, in fairness to
the public, grant a higher fare without
valuation; that the 10 cent fare, with
its resulting loss of passengers. would
not increase the companies return on
value; declared that If the increase Is
granted to one company it must neces-

JONESBORO, Ark, June 6.-ViSiting
his home today for few hours before
leaving for Dexter, Mo, and then for
Washington, Senator T. H. Caraway,
chairman of the Senate lobby commit
tee, said he had no intention at present
of ordering subpoena issued for Bishop
James Cannon, jr., who yesterday
walked out on the lobby committee.
1T see no occasion to insist on the
bishop testifying," Caraway said. "The
investigation is aimed at lobbying and
not political matters. I do not know
all the facts that have developed since
I left Washington, but as he came at
his own request, if he did not care to
answer questions he should be excused,
Is the view I have taken"
Senator Caraway yesterday Cancelled
an engagement to speak before the
Arkansas Bar Association convention at
Fort Smith, and it was reported there
that he had left hurriedly for Washing
ton as result of the controversy be-
tween the committee and Bishop Can
non. He explained he Cancelled the
