FISCAL COMMITTEE
IS VOTED $4,000
House Unanimous in Grant
ing Request After Effort
to Cut Sum.

The House today approved a resolu-
ton authorizing an expenditure of
$4,000 from the contingent funds of
the House by the special committee.
headed by Representative Mapes of
Michigan, which is making study of
the fiscal relations between the United
States and the District of Columbia.
The Committee on Accounts, headed by
Representative Underhill of Massachu-
sets. sought to reduce this amount to
$500, but after a brief discussion the
House authorized the full amount as
requested by the Mapes committee.
Representative Underhill emphasized
that this committee had already ac-
complished a great deal and that the
subject of their study is of extreme
Importance"
1t was emphasized during the debate
that the Mapes committee expects to
continue its investigation beyond March
4, when the present Congress closes.
Experts Chief Expense.
1t was brought out on questions by
Representative Parks of Arkansas that
the principal expense will result from
the employment of taxation experts,
and it was explained by Chairman
Mapes that it is quite probable that
such a tax expert will have to visit
comparable cities throughout the coun-
try and make a study Of tax plan so
as to get true comparison on the tax
burden for the District of Columbia.
The testimony of representatives of
the Bureau of Efficiency before the
Mapes Committee was described by Rep
resentative Frear of Wisconsin as hav-
ing embarrassed our committee by the
report they made" Representative
Blanton, Democrat, CT Texas, FIRST Sug-
gested the qualification so called" Blu
reau of Efficiency, and this was quoted
later. by several other speakers, lnclud-
ing Representative Stafford, Repub-
lican, Wisconsin. He and several other
members of the House appeared greatly
interested regarding how the Bureau OF
Efficiency as Government agency came
to testify before the Mapes Committee.
Unanimous for Allowance.
Chairman Mapes said that the re-
quest for $4,000 allowance was by
unanimous approval of the select COM
mittee and that every one on the COM
mittee wanted to do the work credit
ably and that thus far the committee
had had no assistance and now realized
the urgent need for the services OF
tax expert.
Representative Frear discussed at
length taxation in the District, and
Chindblocm, Republican,
of Illinois wanted to know If full con-
sideration was given to sentimental and
historical values as a part OF the Ia
bility charged against the Federal Gov

BACKED
REPORTERS IN WAR
Insisted They Go Forward
When LIST Division Was
Entering Front Line.
BY JUNIUS B. WOOD.

BY Cable to The Star.
BERLIN, Germany, January O.
When the 1st Division was ready to
enter the front line to complete its
training the correspondents at Neuf-
CHATEAU were Robert Small, Lincoln
Eyre, Ray Carroll, Edwin James, George
Patullo, Cal Lyons, Haywood Broun and
Floyd Gibbons. 1t was a French sec
tor and the French corps commander
expected them patiently to sit there. He
was surprised that anything else should
be suggested.
He said he would have a report sent
back to them Ths world knows how
near any official cornnaunique can come
to telling nothing. Perhaps the follow
ing week the correspondents might be
escorted forward.

"Lala, les Americans, quelle plague"
the corps commander sputtered. The
French liaison officer at the American
headquarters at Chaumont, a count in

Only Marshal Foch could decide the

hours and probably consultation with

BILLBOARD OWNERS
ADMIT ZONE POINT
Single Concession Virtually
Saves Conference on Road
side Identification.

For the first time in years of COM
bat for the protection of rural land
scape from DETACHMENT by outdoor ad-
vertising, representatives of the organ
lied billboard industry were driven yes
terday to verbal concession that there
exists ground for differentiating be-
tween billboards and other kinds Of
roadside businesses in considering the
question of regional coming.
1t was their yielding on this point,
although not binding upon the indus
try, that saved the conference called
for the promotion of harmony between
commerce and rural beauty from dis
ruption during the closing afternoon
session. Up to this time the represen-
tatives of the American Nature Associ-
alton, the National Council for the Pro-
lection of Roadside Beauty and other
public groups were on the verge OF
walking out Of the conference. Former
Senator George Wharton Pepper of
Pennsylvania, the chairman, took the
that he could not conceive of any pro-
posal coming from the conference
which does not involve or cede the
matter of differentiating between road
side businesses.
Senator Pepper Thanked.
Although yesterdays conference re-
suited in only one other point OF
apparent accord, an agreement that
regional coming of stretches of roads
provides perhaps the bcst solution of
the problem of roadside protection, it
did serve to bring the advertising and
civic groups closer together and pro-
duce a degrea of harmony which few OF
the latter group had anticipated. This
was due in large part to the diplomacy
and fairness of former Senator Pepper,
delegates of the civic groups pointed out
later, as we'll as to the force of rising
tide of public opinion which the bill
board industry realizes must be con-
ciliated. On the motion of Albert S.
Bard, counsel for the National Council
for Prot ction of Roadside Beauty,
Chairman Pepper was given a rising
vote of thanks for his services as pre-
siding officer.
Despite the. refusal Of a number of
civic bodies and the United States
Bureau of Public Roads and the Ameri-
can Association of State Highway
proceedings, it was the consensus that
the conference had made sufficient
strides toward harmony to appoint a
committee to serve as continuing
body until another conference could
be called. With the appointment Of
this committee, on which five of the
eight members represent public groups
and of which Senator Pepper is chair
man, the session was brought to close.

LOCKOUT OF 100000
WORKERS THREATENED
English Mills to Act January II
Unless Labor Dispute Is Set
tied in Meantime.

By the Associated Press.
MANCHESTER, England, January
9.-The Central Committee of the Cot
ton Spinners and Manufacturers Asso-
ciation today advised affiliated members
to close their mills on Saturday, Janu-
airy II, unless a labor dispute with
weavers has been settled in the mean
time. If carried into effect the recon-
mendation would mean the lockout OF
200 600 workers.
The textile industry has been in diff
ficultieS for weeks because of the
weavers' refusal to accept the mill own
ers' demand that each man now oper-
ating four looms take over twice that
number. The owners have offered an
increase in pay amounting to about $40
a week but the weavers contend that
the system would throw many men out
of work.
