Chase Circle and asked to be taken to
Dupont Circle. Later they asked to be
driven to the point near Falls Church
Brandon said.
AS they stepped from the cab, one of
the robbers covered Brandon with a
revolver, forcing him to hand over So
After a hurried consultation, they de-
cided to let him keep about S. in
change.
When Brandon said he would need
more than that to get back to the
Capital. they gave him another 81.
Leo Scheeverger, also a cab driver
was hailed by two men at Thirty fourth

within the bounds of possibility, the
future connection between this point
and Potomac Yards in Virginia might
be arranged By a tunnel instead of by
the present bridge and tracks along
Maryland and Virginia avenues. With
| the electriication of the railroad now
in process, involving new equipment: ::
with the inadequacy and deterioration
OF the bridge over the river demanding
attention, and with the possibility of
combining the approaches to a tunnel
with development of new yards and
facilities, the time seems opportune for
discussion CT studies which the COM
mission has submitted to the railroad
authorities and concerning which it has
asked their earnest consideration.
Interferes With Avenues.
''The scheme for Encouragement of
the railroad facilities south of the Mall,
contemplates use of the bed of the
abandoned James Creek Canal as the
location for the railroad tracks ap-
preaching river tunnel beginning at
the northwest corner of the War Col
lege. A spur from this track could be
provided to serve a new industrial rail
dild NdISl dI DuZLdIUS fOlIlI.
The commission contends that the
present arrangement of railroad tracks
lis distinctly detrimental to the monu-
mental development of public build
ings in adjoining areas either for the
section north of Maryland avenue or
for that lying between Virginia avenue
and Maryland avenue.
In addition to its effect upon pub
lie buildings" the report continues, "the
railroad now interferes with two OF the
principal avenues and vistas in the city
OF washington. Maryland avenue
which was laid out originally as a di-
rect connection between the Capitol
and Virginia, corresponding with Penn
sylvania avenue between the Capitol
and the White House. is interrupted
by the railroad tracks at Seventh street
Virginia avenue is the only principal
artery pointing directly to the Wash
ington Monument and that vista is now
broken into by the railroad tracks"
Turning its attention to the present
freight railroad terminal area in the
Southwest near Fourteenth and Water
streets, the commission said that "the
area is so located that all teaming and
trucking from the existing yards must
pass through the areas devoted to Gov
ernment buildings as we'll as through
the heart Of the central business dis
trict in order to serve the residential
areas of the District and outlying towns
in Maryland
The commissions report said that
finally. the present location of the
railroad is detrimental to the develop
ment Of the public buildings and monu-
mental treatment planned for the CEN
trail area Of the city"
The report recalled that south of
Maryland avenue, a group of buildings,
corresponding to the municipal center,
north Of Pennsylvania avenue, is
projected, housing such Government Of
fees as the Veterans Administration
or the General Accounting Once.

la Toilette Tells Radio Forum
SIS, 500, 900, 900 issue Would
Put 4,500, 900 to Work.

The s5,500,0 100000 prosperity bond
issue" advocated by Senator La Toilette,
in Senate bill just introduced, would
put 100000 persons to work it was
declared last night by the Wisconsin
Republican in speech in the National
Radio Forum, arranged by The Wash
ington Star and broadcast over
Nationwide hook-up of the Columbia
Broadcasting Co.
Senator La Toilette described his
plan, which contemplateS a compre-
hensive scheme of Federal, State and
municipal public works, and answered
arguments set up by opponents.
Ihe program which have outlined
Will stimulate recovery Of business, pre-
vent the reduction of living standards
OF our people to world levels and avert
Ihe catastrophe consequences of pro-
iongeo continuance OF the depression"
he asserted.
Reviews Nations Plight.
Reviewing the plight in which this
country finds itself, La Toilette esti-
mated that idleness has reduced or
completely wiped out the purchasing
power of $4,000 900 persons who are
dependent upon wages He added that
3O,o0o,000 dependent upon agriculture
have had their purchasing power
destroyed
The expenditure of $500 900 900. he
SAID, would stimulate production all
along the line from raw materials to
the finished product, and likewise
hr1Y7y q in
security values.
Discussing the ALLEGATION of the pro-
posed fund, the speaker said that $780,
100000 would be devoted TO such Fed
eral projects as flood control. reclama-
tlcn and irrigation and public build
ngS; Sl000,000,000 would go to aid
State public works construction, in
cluding expansion of the Federal-aid
highway program, and S3,75O.OOO 900
would be available to State and mu-
nlcipal authorities for loans TO push
various developments.
Senator La Fcllette described as "a
most important feature" of the bond
issue the control device" by which the
sale OF bonds would be halted and no
further emergency construction under
taken "as soon as industrial production,
as measured by the Federal Reserve
bcaro index, reaches mCre normal
point"
Per Cent Surtax Provided.
The bonds would be retired in 10
years by imposition of an additional
surtax, set tentatively at 2 per cent,
upon net incomes Of $4,000 and over.
To those who are apprehenSive that
a bond issue Of this magnitude could
not be readily foated by the Federal
Government" he said, my answer is
that if we could sell 5000 900 900
worth Of bonds during the war for pur-
poses of destruction, it seems utterly
absurd to contend that we could not
float a shcrt-term issue of Government
bonds for constructive purposes"

Japanese said that many Chinese reg

The Chinese had cut telegraph and

Was Employed by Foshay.
Mrs. Clark was employed two weeks
as stenographer by a Foshay COM
pany in July, 1929. She had informed
the court when examined that she
had not been employed since her mar
riage in 1921.
Attorneys who investigated precedents
in the contempt action said they were
unable to find any instance in the his
tory Of American Jurisprudence where
woman was similarly cited.
They found few instances involving
men jurors where as severe sentence re-
suited, contempt actions involving
jurors being rarities. This is the first
case involving q woman Juror in Min
nesota since their employment as jurors
became general 10 years ago.
Foshay Will Be Retired
More than six weeks were required
for trial of the Foshay case, which is
to be retired starting January IL. The
seven defendants were accused of hav-
ing conspired to defraud investors by
representing the S20,0O0,O00 enterprises
as sound and profitable when the Gov
ernment contends they were being op-
Grated at a deficit. 'Doctoring" OF
financial statements was alleged.
When the jury was given the case it
adopted, at Mrs. Clarks' insistence, the
unusual program of meeting eight hours
or less daily, with no night sessions.
Much of the time in the jury room was
spent in silence. the male members,
most of them farmers, deciding that it
was useless to attempt to persuade Mrs.
Clarke to change her mind. They de-
cided that time might be the only fac
tor which would change her mind. and
so several of them refused to give up
hope OF reaching an agreement.
