Hearty Endorsement of the

merce. which will formally open
tomorrow with a membership
drive, is contained in a statement
issued today by DR.. Luther H.
Reichelderfer, District Commis-
sioner.
A committee from the chamber,
headed by Charles w. Darr, presi-
dent, and Rudolph Jose. chair
man Of the expansion program
committee. called upon DR.. Rel
chelderfer today to ask his views
concerning the campaign. The
Commissioner said:
II am deeply interested In the
Five Year Expansion program
which you propose for the city
of Washington. A well-conceived
plan of civic and economic de-
velOpment is an asset Of de-
cided value to any city. Large
American business firms have
found 1t necessary to plan thier
activities and their financing
over a period of years. and It
seems to me that this procedure
should prove equally beneficial
when applied to the modern
community. 1 wish you ali sue
cess in your program of public
service for the District"

Zone for himself and one for
his wifeJ each night, without
charge. Therefore, il was
proper to deduct One-fifth Of
his per diem for each nights
lodging so furnished. Strictly
speaking, there would not ap-
pear to be any authority to
furnish lodging to the wife Of
a Government emplOye at a
place which is not his regular
station unless the wife also was
an emplOye.
''In view of the fact that the
wife Of the cmplOye was al
lowed to occupy Government
quarters it is not unreasonable
to make the same charge for
her lodging as is made for the
employees, or to make the same
deduction from the employees
per diem allowance as is made
for the lodging furnished the
emplOye himself"
McCarl recalled a previous
ruling that when Government
is travelling on official
business he can be reimbursed
for only one-half the cost of a
Pullman berth if he takes his
wife along, even though the
couple occupy the same berth.

DISTRICT HEADS
HOLD HEARING
ON PROTEST
Residents OF Wesley Heights

Climaxing year of protesta-
tions against operation of a

fashionable Wesley Heights resi-
Dental section, the District Com

Streets Northwest. One of the
leaders. among, the residents in
the fight against the school is
DR.. Frank W.. Ballou, superin-
tendents of schools.
In a petition filed with the
District Commissioners, the resi-
dents stated that when they pur-
chased their homes in the Wes-
ley Heights section it was with
with an understanding that the
school property would be resi-
dentially developed. This has
not been done.
The main objection of the
residents is against the main
tenance of the stable necessary
to the school Each of their pro-
tests has been aimed at the stable
and in consequence, the city
heads referred the matter to the
District Health Department
Scores of times health irspec-
tors have visited the school prem
ises in answer to the protests and
each time the reports of the
inspectors have been to the effect
that the table. is maintained in

pires with this month and the
protesting residents are seeking
to prevent it's renewal on No

that furroW irrigation with small
