(Press Review

"Fast Company will be at the
Fox Nogales Theater today and to-
morrow It is a real amusement
of the highest order with comedy of
the best rib-tickling kind. Jack
Oakie is the main reason for the
laughter. He is very clever come
dian.
The plot is based upon a story of
baseball players written by the
great American humorist, Ring
Lardner The hero, played by Jack
Oakie, is a boastful but lovable
slangster who wise-cracks a n d
homerun-hits his way to the fore
ground, helping his team, the Yam
KEGS, to win the League pennant
He falls into the fast company of
smart city-bred folks, including
show-girl and some crafty gamb-
lers, and he almost ruins his own
and his teams chances for victory
on the day of the final game of the
Worlds series when something
happens to change the whole as
pect Of the plot.
Oakie is a new type of comedian
on the screen and he will add thou
sands of admirers to his string with
his staggering ''big league comedy
capers in this one. Evelyn Brent,
as the girl who spurns him but
later warns to his native charm,
does a great job, as always. Rich
ard "Skeets" Gallagher, another
young actor who has risen rapidly
in comedy roles, given a remark
able performance as the slang-talk
manager of Oakie. Gwen Lee adds
full quota of feminine charm and
Sam Hardy as the manager of the
Yankees, is, as ever, equal to the
demand upon his powers as gift
ed actor.
In word the thrills, the laughs,
the exciting suspense of baseball
are here aplenty and there is an
abundant overflow of clever acting.
See it.

Improved and Extended
Service

Improved and Extended
Service
During the year 1929 our
construction program, de-
signed to bring more and
better telephone service to
the people of this territory,
involved the expenditure
of more than $13,000,000.
At the end of this year
this Company had approx
n3ately 434,50O telephones
in service, having made a
net gain of 21,000 during
the year.
Important additions were
made to the number of d1-
rect long distance circuits

Lower Cost Service
A reduction in long dis

February i, 1929, and an
other January 1, 1880. Both
principally affected station

and night calls not being re-
duced.
Direct savings also result
ed to subscribers from reduc-
tions in the charges for GER

from the adoption of more

There was fuller coopera~

PRICES Of FOOD
LOWER HERE

The Washington housewife is
paying less for her foodstuffs this
year than for many years.
She may not know 1t, because
it is hard to remember prices OF
last year and to compare them
with the prices of this year, but
a survey made by one of the
large chain stores proves that the
drop in prices here is consider
able, and, in some cases, even
more than in other cities.
It is not difficult to note the
pronounced decrease in the price
of eggs, some having dropped in
price by % cents a dozen. Even
butter has taken a flop and now
is 10 cents a pound cheaper than
it has been for years.

RIGHT To SPEED
BUILDING
SOUGHT
Attorney General Requests
Condemnation Laws Chang
ed for District of Columbia

Legislation designed to expe-
dite condemnation proceedings in
an effort to speed up the Federal
building program was asked of
Congress today by Attorney Cen
eral william D. Mitchell.
The Attorney General requested
Senator Arthur Capper, Republi-
can, Of Kansas, to introduce a
bill amending the laws governing
condemnation proceedings within
the District. The Senator was
prepared to introduce the mea-
sure late today.
The attorney general in a let
ter to Senator Capper pointed
out that under a law enacted in
1929 it is provided that under
certain prescribed conditions title
may be vested in the United
States and the United States may
take possession of land in
advance of final Judgment in pro-
ceedings the acquisition Of
property. ..-..
This law, according to the
attorney general, is deficient in
that it does not apply to con-
demnation proceedings instituted
before it's enactment or under
other laws.
The attorney general pointed
out that it would greatly expedite
the public building program in
the District If the act were made
applicable to proceedings hereto
fore commenced or under any
other law.

COMPLAINTS
OFGROWERS
+ STARTS|T
Kansan Feels People Should
Receive Some Benefit From
Tremendous Market Drop

Investigation of prices of bread
in Washington was launched to-
day by Senator Arthur Capper,
Republican, of Kansas.
Senator Capper acted in his
capacity of chairman of Uhe Sen
at District Committee.
Acting upon complaints that
local bread prices have not re-
flected the tremendous drop in
the wheat market, Senator Cap
per directed an inquiry as to
present prices and prices which
have prevailed throughout the
year.
Growers Have Complained
Senator Capper is understood
to have received the complaints
from wheat growers, who feel
that the losses which they have
suffered on the drop in the
market should have resulted in
benefit to the consumer.
Senator Capper directed James
Ring, clerk Of the District Com
mittee, to gather preliminary fig
ures touching on all phases Of
bread prices here.
The Senator said that he did
not wish to reflect discredit on
local bakers or stores, but that
he feels the people should re-
ceive some benefit from the drop
in the wheat market.
Wheat Drops so Per Cent
Pointing out that the price Of
wheat has dropped about so per
cent during the last year, Senator
Capper said that this had
brought a consequent drop in
the price of flour, but that &C.
cording to complaints reaching
him this had not been reflected
in the price of bread.
Senator Capper apparently has
not decided on the course he will
pursue should he find that the
bread prices do not reflect the
wheat market decline. He said
that his future action would be
governed by his findings in re-
gard to the local prices.
The baking industry is already
touched upon in the District Code,
which prescribes the sizes of
standard loaves. The code pro-
vides that the standard loaf shall
be one pound, one-half pound,
one and one-haH pounds or multi
pies of a pound. Under the
code each loaf of bread must be
plainly labeled as to its weight.

RUM BOATS USE
RADIO CODE

The big rum smuggling syndi-
Gates operating off American
coasts are highly organized and
are using the radio and secret
codes, according to Admiral F.
C. Billiard, commandant Of the
Coast Guard.
TeStifying before the House Ap-
preparations Committee, in hear
ings made public today, he said:
"The smuggling interests are
highly organized and are now
using an extensive and eff.
cient system of radio cOmmuni-
cation, in which they employ
secret codes and ciphers. This,
of course, adds to the difficulty
of our problem"
Asked specifically about Flor
ida, Admiral Billiard said there is
undoubtedly some smuggling from
from the Bahamas in small boats.

Simmons Tells House Group
That Gas Tax Should Be
Raised; Cramton Raps Press

Reiterating past arguments that
the Federal Government should
contribute not more than $4,000,
900 year to the upkeep of the
District Government, and predict.
ing that even this sum could be
scaled down if a proper taxation
rate prevails here, two members
Of Congress today appeared at
the initial session of the special
House committee of seven deSig-
mated to investigate the fiscal
relations between the Federal and
District Governments.
Think Sum Is Fair
Starting off the hearing which
had an anti-District tenor, the
special committee heard Repre-
sentative Robert c.. Simmons of
Nebraska, chairman of the Dis
trict subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee, and
Representative Louis Cramton Of
Michigan, a member of the House
Appropriations Committee, who
was defeated for reelection last
month.
In substance, both Simmons
and Cramton testified that they
thought an annual contribution
Of $4,000, 900 from the Federal
Treasury to the Districts ex-
penses was sufficient and fair.
Urges Gasoline Tax
One suggestion of many made
by Representative Simmons was
that additi ional District revenues
could be obtained By increasing
the gasoline tax in the Capital.
He told the special investigat-
ing committee that in the nearby
States of Maryland and Virginia,
the gasoline tax is much higher
than it is in the District Of Co
lumbia.
In the committee room await
ing a hearing on District affairs
were the three District Commis-
sioners, Tax Assessor William P.
Richards and Major Daniel j.
Donovan, auditor of the District.
In the same room in the House
Office Building were also repre-
sentatives of civil organizations
of the District.
Representative Simmons said
that there seemed to be in Wash
ington year by year attempts Ito
get more money from the Fed
eral Treasury"
Cites Other Forms
Nevertheless, he added, there
were lot of untouched revenues
In Washington, and they should
be taxed. He proposed, in illustra-
ton, the alleged necessity for In
heritance tax and an income tax
for the District. .
Mr.. Simmons told the commit
tee that Washington was prob
ably the only city in the world
that was demanding a yearly
tribute sum from parent gov
ernment. He warned the commit
tee that it would hear numerous
witnesses who would repeat these
demands.
Representative Cramton fol-
lowed with a dissertation upon
the alleged advantageous tax rate
in Washington, SLOT per one
hundred. He said he felt this
rate was probably the lowest in
the country for a city like Wash
ington. He also predicted that
there would never come a time
in washington where criticism in
the newspapers and by civic or
ganizations would cease, until
s'the Federal Government pays
all of the Districts expenses and
that will be in a millennium"
Representative Davis Cd, of
Tennessee, was appointed today
as the third minority member Of
the Special House committee fol-
lowing the refusal of Representa-
tive Crisp of Georgia, to serve
on the committee.
