ILLNESS STRESSES
CHANGES IN HOUSE
Speaker LongWorth Said
providence" Would Have
Hand in Reorganization.
BY the Associated Press.

oS the hSSOCldLSu FEeSoa
The illness of Nicholas Longworth
emphasized speculation here today on
what might happen in the next Con-
gresS.
A comfortable Republican majority
last session put Longworth back in the
Speakers chair he had occupied for
four years. In the Seventy second
Congress, however, Republicans will have
only one or two more votes than Demo-
Gratis. A few defections from either
party could switch control.
The day the last Congress adjourned
sine die and he became technically plain
Representative Longworth, Republican,
Ohio" the Speaker told the assembled
legislators that something higher than
they would have hand in the estab-
lishment of the new House.
"AbundantIy Satisfied"
Perhaps this is the last time I will
address you from this rostrum," he said.
'It is only an All-wise Providence who
is going to determine which of the two
major parties will organize the next
House.
with whatever that Providence may
decree, I am abundantly satisfied"
Longworth is one of what is called
the House Republican "triumvirate."
The other members are Floor Leader
John @. Tilson of Connecticut and
Bertram H. Smell of New York, chair
man of the last Rules Committee. If
Longworth were not present the Repub-
licans organized they probably would
choose TilSon as Speaker.
Garner Has Chance.
Because of the close division there is
a possibility that John N. Garner of
Texas, the Democratic leader, to whom
Longworth is Mick" and the official
Speakers automobile "ours," might be
seated on the roStrum.
The actions of Progressive Republic
ans and Democrats, who have outlined
legislation they insist the controlling
party must agree to next session. in all
probability will decide organization.

Poor House Remark
About Virgin Islands
Resented by Paper

By the Associated Press.
ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands,
April g. The newspaper. st.
Thomas Mail, in an editorial
captioned IAN Il-Mannered Visi-
tor" declares today the islands
were mo poor house" when they
were acquired by the United
States, but the application of
stupid and unsuitable Federal
laws" made them so.
Thus any American" the edi-
torial continues, who insultingly
alludes to the Virgin Islands to-
Gay as a poor house can only be
devoid of decency, even though
that individual be the President
of the United States. He should
have known better than to wound
the susceptibilities of a loyal

German aspirations on disarmament
matters as well as the Austrian Gus
toms project. Whether reparations ana
allied economic issues will be discussed
in this Anglo-German confab, as ru-
nored, is too early to say now.
1t is significant that the foreign once
denies that French Foreign Minister
Aristide BRAND has been invited 70
this meeting, though the usually care
full London Times previously reported
a government hope that M. BRAND
would attend and Paris seems to have
thought that M BRAND was invited. IL
is explained here that Mr.. Henderson
has seen M. BRAND recently, but that
he has not seen Herr Curtius IN long
time. and that hence an exchange OF
views is desirable.

LOWER GAS RATE
PLEA GIVEN BODY

Commission.
Special Dispatch the The Star.

Special Dispatch the The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, April 8.-Charges
| that domestic gas rates in Arlington
County, Va, are unjust and unreason-
able were made by the Arlington County
Public Utilities Commission today when
the Virginia State Corporation Com
mission began public hearings on an
application for a reduction.
The fight for lower rates is being led
by William C.. Cloth, commonwealth
attorney of Arlington County, and G.
O. Basham, valuation counsel for the
Arlington County Utilities Commission.
Wilton j. Lambert, Washington attor-
ney, and Virginia State Senator Frank
L. Ball are representing the Rosslyn
Gas Co., defendant in the rate pro-
ceedings.
Cloth Has Statistics.
Mr.. Cloth and Mr. Basham are armed
with statistics showing that gas dis
tributed in Arlington County at $3.50
for the first 2,50O cubic feet a month
is purchased by the Rosslyn company
for 65 cents thousand cubic feet from
the Washington and Georgetown Gas
Light Companies. This gas is manu-
featured in Washington, it was said. at
a cost of 35.2 cents a thousand cubic
feet, exclusive of interest and deprecia-
ton charges.
The cost of manufacturing and dis
tributing the gas is to be one of the
principal factors stressed by the Airing
ton County Utilities Commission in
urging a rate reduction. Other ele-
ments are to be considered, however,
and there is a possibility that the valu-
alton Of the Rosslyn company may fig
ure in the arguments.
Domestic Rates Stressed.
The Arlington County commission in
tends to center its fight for reduction
on the $3.50 domestic rate. Average
consumers, it is pointed out, do not
get the benefit of the secondary 90
centS-a-thousand cubic feet rate be-
cause they must use $500 cubic feet
within a month to get on the lower
scale, while the average consumption is
2 ,400 cubic feet.
The present schedule Of rates has been
in effect since February /. The previous
charge for gas was nat rate of $3.50
thousand cubic feet for all types of
service.
Communities served by the Rosslyn
company are RosSlyn Clarendon, Cher
rydale, Lyon Park, Lyon Village, Balls
ton, Fort Myer and Falls Church. The
company serves 3,448 customers.

What will the rest of the kids think?
OF course, that's the first thing to
come into your head when you've re-
ceived an invitation from President
Hoover to visit him. wonder If the
others who went through that ordeal in
the bus won't think I'm getting more
than Is due me.
AS a matter Of fact, think I am.
It's hard to realize that the invita-
ton came, and it's hard to realize Just
what it's all about.
It's hard, too, to have everybody
around talking about me being a hero
and all that. I can think of lots of
acts in history that were a whole lot
more heroic-if they are going to in
sist on calling me a hero-than what
did.
Shared Same Misfortune.
The rest of the kids in that bus shared
the same misfortunes that ] did, and
it seems maybe a little unjust for me
to receive the invitation from the Presi-
dent.
Certainly want to go to Washing
ton. But dropping out of a clear sky
as 1t did, the invitation leaves me with
the feeling thst l can't quite realize

Negro ReformiSts White-wash
Murderers Of Chicago Jobless
handkerchief Heads" Again Rise to Defense
of Lynch Law Oppression of Negro Masses

CHICAGO, Ill, (CNA)-A coroners
jury headed by Harry A. Pace, Negro
president of the Supreme Liberty Life
Insurance Company, completely alb
solved the police and city authorities
from all responsibility in the murder
of three Negro unemployed workers
when police fired wildly into de-
monstration here last August against
an eviction on the South Side.
Three upper class Negroes were on
the jury of six which rendered this
decision, embarrassing the guilty
authorities and the equally guilty
Negro real estate men and ministers
who called upon the Mayor on the
eve of the shooting for drastic action
to prevent the workers from putting
back the furniture of evicted unem-
ployed.
Pace, himself having big interests
in real estate in Chicago segregated
districts, and other NAACP members
and leaders, thus rise again TO the
defense of the white ruling class and
condone the murder Of Negro unen-

Stop Eviction of
Negro Worker in
Paterson, n. J.

PATERSON, N. j., Nov. "a
member of the Young Communist
League of Paterson seeing furniture
piled on the street in front of Arch
St, inquired about it and found it
the property Of Negro working wo-
man, evicted earlier in the day. The
YCL member then explained that
the Unemployed Council fights
against eviction of all unemployed
and part time workers, and that if
notified would help the workers put
back the furniture. All the workers
around said that they were ready to
put back the furniture and put up a
fight If necessary.
The evicted woman with friend
and the YCL member then went over
to the Unemployed Council to report
the case. An investigation committee
was appointed which brought back
the facts that this woman works only
one day week at house work and
therefore could not pay SIS month
for three little rooms without bath
tub. The electricity and gas have
been disconnected. Members of the
Communist Party and the Young
Communist League, together with
the Unemployed Council were~then
modified, and the furniture was put
back in fifteen minutes with the help
of the Negro and white workers on
the block.
After that we held an open air
meeting and about twelve Negro
workers joined the Unemployed
Council and the YCL. Most of the
workers who signed up are either un-
employed or working part time.
The Communist Party, the Young
Communist League and the Unem-
ployed Council are going to take up
the fight for food for the needy
families and against evictions, high
rents on Arch and Jay SITS.
