CONGRESS SPENDING like DRUNKEN SA0R Rep WOOD SAYS
Good BUSINESS

Declaring that Congress "has
been spending money like drunken

Wood tR.1 OF Indiana. chairman
OF the House Appropriations Com
mittee, today decreed q vigorous
economy rule for the remainder
Of the present session.
IN this plan he said that he
would cooperate fully with Presi-
dent Hoover, who some time ago
warned Congress of the demands
being made upon 1t.
We have been spending money
Ike drunken sailors, without
thought that there must be an
| end said Chairman Wood.
Buildings Needed
"Of course, q lot of the heavy
expenditures are necessary and
are for q good purpose. The build
Ing program was needed, but it
was expensive.
THE $4,000, 900 seed loan bill
had not been contemplated by the
budget, nor was the $4,000, 600
Tor rivers and harbors work voted
by the Senate In the deficiency
bill. The 500, 600 900 for the farm
board also tapped the Treasury
heavily.
"A few years ago they talked
about "a billion-dollar Congress.
!, We have multiplied this nearly
RfiVe times. Instead of the annual
budget decreasing in recent years,
a. many thought, it has increased.
Country Has Grown
Whether the country has de
veloped as fast as we have in
creased expenditures Is question.
rather think it has, except for
i. the war burdens.
But every scheme fof internal
improvement will take lot of
money and we will have to guard
expenditures"
VI Chairman Wood expressed salts
faction with reports of tax receipts
and business conditions.
II am satisfied that business OF
the country will hold up," he said.

WAR RAN I LESS
RAID REPORT
DUE TO-DAY

A formal report on the action
Of Sergt. o. j. Leterman and his
squad in entering an apartment
in the 1900 block Of 8 st. N. w.
and arresttng Eleck Harmon and
his wife without a search war
rant, will be made to Major Henry
c.. Pratt today by Inspector
Thaddeus Bean who has been con-
Quoting an investigation of the
affair.
Neither Harmon nor Bean
would discuss the case today
other than to indicate that Let
terman'S charge Of the quantity
of beer found in the apartment
was greatly exaggerated.
Waits Report
Harmon stated that he does
not intend to make any move
against Lsetterman until after the
report has been filed with Pratt
and he determines just what dis
ciplinary action, If any. the police
department intends to take.
One complaint. it is understood,
is that Letterman and members
Of his liquor squad were rather
rough in arresting Mrs. Harmon.
The dry squad was armed with
warrant for a man who re-
sides on Meridian Place North
west and who was not known at
the Harmon apartment. Letter
man. in q vague report to Pratt
on Saturday, indicated that his
warrant was good, but did iiot 60
into any details as to. why he
invaded the Harmon home.
Found Rum and Beer
According To Information turned
over to the police head, Letter
man believed that he might find
the man he was seeking In the
Harmon apartment and not flnd-
ing him there searched the place
and found several quarts of
whisky and q quantity of peer.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney David A. Hart refused 10 is
sue papers against either Mrs.
Harmon or her husband when he
learned that Letterman had q
faulty warrant. 1t is believed
likely the Harlnons will seek war
rants for Letterman and members
OF his squad for illegal entry of
their home.

CHARGED

The most spirited hearing be-
fore the House District Commit
tee during this session of Con.
gress was staged today on the
zihlman bill to prohibition the
vivisection OF dogs.
The committee room overflowed
and applause was frequent, as the
proponents Of the legislation
urged the cessation of cruelties.
Pound Figures Concealed
Miss Mabel Z. Boardman, legiS-
lative secretary of the vivisection
Investigation League, said its
agents had difficulty in obtainin-
ing from the District Building In
formation concerning dogs turned
over from the pound for vivisec-
tion during the past year.
Asking for more time, she
asserted that ''it may be neces-
sary for us to invoke legal pro
cesSes, SO many obstacles have
been thrown in our way"
DR.. William C.. Fowler, health
officer, she said, admitted that
in the period March /, 1929, to
February %, 1880, 315 dogs had
been furnished by the pound for
vivisection purposes. Some Of
there. he said. went to the Hy-
gienic laboratory of the Public
Health Service.
Miss Orgelman said DR.. Fowler
refused to give information until
he received a specific order from
Commissioner Daugherty, OBJ
tanned after Secretary Garges, Of
the Board of Commissioners, had
talked with DR.. Fowler.
When the charge was made by
John F. Goldman. vice president
of the Anti-Vivisection Society,
that dogs from the Pound had
been sent to Edgewood Arsenal.
Md, Col. e. B. Vedder, of the
Army Medical School, arose in
the audience and exclaimed:
Humane, Says Doctor
These experiments were under
my direction. They were humane,
and I'd like to tell the committee
about them"
Chairman Bowman said sharaply:
II hope there will be no further
Interruptions; today's hearing is
only for the supporters of this
bill"
The, subcommittee ruled that
the testimony must relate to
vivisection in the District of Co
lumbia only. One witness came
from Toronto, Canada. Other

tigation League of. New York

STUDY OF PENMANSHIP
LOSING OUT IN SCHOOLS
survey shows 671 Minutes a Week
obstruction in 1865 Cut to 465
at Present Time.

The study Of penmanship has lost
some Of its old-tine prestige in the
public schools of America, although ex--
cellent writing Is still rated an educa-
tfunal and commercial asset.
A survey by the Federal Bureau Of
Education discloses that IN 1855 total
OF 671 minutes week were set aside
for instruction In pennafship, while the
latest figures from is States show 465
minutes allotted to writing, or 5 per cent
Of the instruction time.
This lesSening of the emphasis on
handwriting is attributed 10 the intro
d1ction Of the typewriter and the ex-
pangi0n Of the curriculum to meet the
demands Of q changing civilization.
A study among large Philadelphia
business firms showed, however. that
handwriting was still important for the
business work since virtually half the
work IN the average business ntIn was
done by hand What business men de-
n1and In writing IS legibility. accuracy,
speed and neatness.
The almost complete disappearance
ct the flourish style of writing Is at
tfibuted to the fact that this writing
ID hard to do and difhcult to read.
