j. s. To SILENCE
OWN RADIOS

Permanent closing Of little-used
Army and Navy radio stations
rather than the adoption of a
policy embracing joint service
commercial operation was recon-
mended to President Hoover to-
day by his inter-departmenta1
radio committee.
Charged with investigating du-
plication of facilities by service
and commercial radio systems and
allied problems, the committee has
completed study based on three
months work and consultation
with national radio experts.
The committee recommended
abolishing about 10 of the existing
Army and Navy radio stations,
among them the naval radio sta
ton at Savannah, Ga.
The report opposed a proposal
to allow the service stations to
handle commercial traffic as a
means of aiding in upkeep costs,
pointing out that such policy
would set up the Government in
direct competition with private
business.

ECOUNTPER|LS
NICK s" RULE

The question of whether or not
Speaker Nicholas Longworth will
again be Speaker Of the House in
the next Congress appeared more
uncertain today with receipt Of an
election recount in Pennsylvania
which indicates that a Democrat
has been chosen rather than a Re
publican, as was previously be-
lieved.
The returns first indicated that
Representative William r. Coyne
(R0 of Bethlehem, had won by
approximately 800 votes. The re-
suit was contested by former Rep
resentative Everett Kent CD Of
Bangor, who alleged fraud. In the
recount of the votes in eight bal
lot boxes, Mr.. Kent has amaSSed
a lead of more than 100 votes.
An upset such as is indicated by
the recount would mean that the
House next term would have 217
Democrats, ZIG Republicans, one
Farmer-Labor member and one
vacancy, to which Henry Allen
Cooper, Wisconsin Progressive Re
publican, was elected shortly be-
fore his death.
In case Mr.. Kent should get the
seat, it appears certain that
Speaker Longworth will not sue

chair,

BR|TON SCORES
NEW EMBASSY

The design of the new British
embassy building on Massachu-
sets Avenue, recently completed
and taken possession of by Sir
Ronald Lindsey, is bad" accord
ing to a report from London.
where an inquiry was made in
Parliament by a member con-
cerning an additional grant of
about $150,O0O for purchase of ex-
ira land for the embassy.
The statement was made by
Commander A. R. J. Southby,
Conservative, that the heating
pipes in the new embassy build
ing go through the larders, that
the garage accommodation lis
hopelessly insufficient for the
use of the ambassador and his
staff" and that other mistakes
have been made in the plans and
construction of the building.
1t was stated in reply by George
Lansbury, first commissioner of
works, that the person from whom
the extra land was bought was
not the same one who sold the
original site, and that if this land
had been sold to others for build
ing purposes the new British en-
bassy building would have been
"blanketed out"

CAR FARE RAISE
PLEA DENIED

Petitions of the local traction
companies that the Public Utili,
ties Commission, increase adult
street car fares in order to make
up for anticipated losses through
the Scent student carfare were
denied late yesterday by the
commission.
The petitions were filed last
week by the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and the
Capital Traction Company. Both
companies, in their requests, queS
toned the validity of the COM
missions order making the Scent
fare effective and both agreed
not to do anything at this time
to retard the administering of
the students carfare.
The commission, in refusing
the petitions, took the stand that
it will not consider a raise in
adult fares until the companies
make requests for a specific rate.
The companies are known to
favor increase in the adult fare
of tokens from 712 cents to 1-3
cents, making the rate for tokens
3 for IS cents instead Of the cur
rent 4 for 80 cents rate.

Examination Rules

Protests were voiced today over
requirements demanded by the
United States Civil Service Com
mission in the examination to be
held this month for proofreaders,
printers and bookbinders.
One of the requirements is that
those taking the examination for
proofreader must have had a
years experience in reading book
or magazine proof.
Those protesting declare that
newspaper proof reading demands
are just as particular as those of
books or magazines and hold the
requirement as arbitrary and dis
criminatory.

POpeye Only Few Years Old at Birth

Here is the first chapter in
the unusual life of "Popeye," star
of "The Ttimble TheGter," the
funniest comic in newspaper
history.
Rumors now current that Pop
eye was born at the age Of forty
and is steadily growing younger
are totally unfounded. The horse
shoe-fiSted sailor was only two or
three years old at birth, a normal
infant in every way. He was
always willing to take his pipe
out of his mouth for the morning
bottle of matted hardtack.
Impressed by early home train
ing, as Number 185,764, Popeye
refrained from getting into seri-
Gus fights until he was almost
four and the keeper tried his
patience once too often. He was
a prize baby in many shows and
always took great pride in his
Bertillon measurements.
Born an Orphan
Unfortunately, Popeye was born
all orphan. Today he often says.
Blow me down, nevsr had no
ma or pa. That's why I'm a or
pink" One of the hard,hitting
mariners chief charms Is his abil-
ity to reason things out.

weeks. Earlier pictures DO rot do

On WAR ASKED

Newton D. Baker, who as Sec
retary of War under Wilson, di-
rected Americas operations in the
World War, is scheduled to ap-
pear tomorrow before the COM
mission which is seeking to find
some way to eliminate profiteer-
ing in war time.
The commission has already
heard several experts offer their
prescriptions for equalizing the
burdens of war, but Mr.. Baker,
because of his intimate connection
with the affairs of 1917 and
1918, is regarded as one Of the
most important witnesses to be
called.
He is expected to give his opin-
ion of Bernard M. Baruch's pro-
posal to establish a virtual in
dustrial dictatorship with rigid
price control in the event of
future conflict.
Other witnesses who probably
will be heard tomorrow include
Leonard P. Ayres, former di-
rector of statistics for the war in
dustries board, and Brig. Gen.
Palmer Pierce, retired.

NEW PLANT
Arlington County to Be Asked
for Supply and Price; Fu-l
ture Issue Sought by Firm

FALLS CHURCH, Va, March
10.-Acting upon advice Of At,
torney John s. Barber, Of Fair
fax, the special water committee
of Falls Church last night rec,
commended that the town council
call for a second election among
all the qualified voters of the
township on the question Of is.
suing $125,O00 worth Of bonds
for establishing a municipal wa
ter system.
The recommendation stated
that, although the council
could issue the bonds on the
strength of the first election
held . few weeks ago among
the freehold land owners Of the
town, the second election would
give to authorities the right to
issue more bonds at q future
date.
Provided by Law
This, Mr.. Barber explained, is
due to a clause in the State law
providing that a town could issue
bonds up to 18 per cent Of its real
estate valuation, but no higher.
However, if qualified voters par
ticipate in the election and if the
bonds are issued for a fund-pro-
ducing improvement, such as a
water plant, they may be deduct
ed from the 1S per cent limit al
lowed.
This, the committee went on,
would permit the town to bOr-
row at some future date for i'm
provement Of schools and in
stallation Of q sewerage system.
Seek Water Supply
The committee also recommend
ed that a definite statement be
obtained from Arlington county
authorities as to whether or not
that county could supply a suffi.
cient amount of water for Falls
Church and a statement regard
ing the price to be charged for it
if it can be supplied.
