ACTION
DUE ON FOOD
LOAN BILL
"Steam Roller" Threat Made
as Deadlock Enters Fifth
Day; Factions HurI Charges

Republican leaders Of the House
are preparing drastic action to
break the five-day deadlock over
the 100000 feed and seed
loan relief bill for drought
stricken farmers, it was indicated
today.
All efforts to effect a COM
promise on the Senate amend
ment adding $15,000,000 to pro
vide food for farmers in drought
areas have thus far failed, with
the result that the steam roller"
methods may be adopted to send
the bill to conference.
Appeals Pour In
Urgent appeals were pouring in
on Congress from the South to
hasten the drought-relief loan and
permit farmers to prepare for
early paintings, while criticism of
the relief plans of the Administra-
ton continued in both chambers.
Republican leaders, it was in
dicated by Speaker Longworth,
will demand a special rule early
next week to obtain action on the
drought-relief bill.
Each Blames Other
Spokesman for both Republi-
can and Democratic factions in
the House hurled charges at each
other. and sought to lay the
blame for delay on each others
doorstep.
Representative Wood (R) of
Indiana, chairman of the Appro-
priationS Committee, declared he
would not yield to the Caraway
amendment providing a SIS, ,OOO,-
600 food loan, nor would he
accept the suggestion of Repre-
sentative LaGuardia (RO of New
York, that $30,O00,000 be appro-
priated-half for cities and half
for farms.
Representative Garner Of Texas,
Democratic leader, asserted the
Republicans, having an overwhelm'
ing majority in the House, must
accept responsibility for the delay.
Bill Held Up
The bill has been held up
through refusal of Representative
LaGuardia (RO Of New York to
give unanimous consent to send
ing it to conference. LaGuardia
contends that unless action is
taken before the bill goes to con-
ference, the $15,000,000 loan will
be made to farmers for food and
no money will be provided to re-
lieve distress in cities.
The charge of communist pro-
paganda for the England, Ark,
demonstration was reiterated by
Wood, who declared that com
munist agitators were active in all
parts of the country.

JOSS GODS BAN
ALTAR VOWS

In far off San Francisco, where
the affairs of most of the Chi
nese in America are directed by
the Six Companies, relatives of
two young Washington Chinese
to be married tomorrow, burned
joss to the gods before the fam
lily altar and were told by the
gods that the marriage must
not take place.
Several days ago, Henry Chin
Bow, 81, was given license to
marry Miss Ching Yee Gui, a
30-year-old woman who came
here from China a short time
ago.
Plans Are Set
Mortimer Lonyay, of Cleveland,
general counsel for the mar-
chants of Canton province, end
Elton Layton, secretary of the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, arranged to have the cere-
mony take place at Odd Fellows
Hall and Judge r. E. Mattingly
was to perform the civil ceremony
at 2 o'clock tomorrow.
Thursday night, however, fam
lily chiefs in the West were told
that the wedding was prescribed
by all signs of the joss smoke,
the moon and the Confucian
calendar.
After burning joss before the
altar, cryptic symbols were COM
pared with the Confucian calen-
dar and the signs were found not
of good fortune.
No Response Given
The woman was sheltered from
the outside world by her parents
and the groom declined to give
a statement.
Both are understood to have
broken away from Oriental Gus
tom.
Mrs. Catherine Irwin, secretary
of the House Committee on I'M
migration, is reported to have
intervened on behalf of the wo-
man, but her messages to the
San Francisco group brought no
response.

Following approval by the
House of a $4,000 appropriation
for its expenses, the special com,

ments has engaged George Lord,
of Detroit, expert tax consultant.
Representative Carl E. Mapes

SENATE SH|RKS
COMMISSION
DUTIES
Traffic Law Precipitates
District Question; King
Would CentraIize Powers

The Squabble which has arisen
over the proposed new traffic code
may lead to a general revision Of
the activities Of the District Com
missioner and result in the impesi-
ton upon them of far greater
powers and duties than they now
possess, it was indicated today in
the Senate wing of the Capitol.
Senator King CD Of Utah, in
dicated toda. that he is thinking
Of fostering a measure which
would give the Commissioners vir-
tually plenary power over affairs
of the city. This, in addition to
giving the District a greater mea-
sure Of control over it's own af-
fairs, would also relieve Congress
Of much of the detail with which
1t now is burdened when acting
'aS town council, it is pointed out.
Central Control Sought
The traffic code which the
Commissioners are now seeking
to have enacted, would give them
a centralized control over traffic,
and would authorize them to make
and enforce traffic rules and regu-
lationS.
Senator King declared today
that he is heartily in favor Of
giving the Commissioners in
creased power not only in re-
gard to traffic, but in regard to
other phases of District affairs.
Senator King is not the only
member of the Senate District
Committee who is known to
favor larger powers for local Off
GERS.
Situation Termed absurd"
Several members of the COM
mittee have declared that they
feel it is absurd to ask Senators
elected to represent States in
Congress to bother with the
many minor affairs which con.
front them as "councilmen" for
the District. They maintain that
the national legislature could
stir exercise it's constitutional
right of supreme authority over
the seat of government if it per-
mitted local officers a wider lati-
tude in minor affairs.

glad to come home" -~
After 10 days in Paris, that is
the statement made today by
Kathryn M. McCaffrey, pretty
stenographer of the Government
Printing Office, who was sent to
the French capital as The Wash
ington Times Typical Girl.
Just as she said before she left
washington for her grand advan-
ture, it was like dream come
true, she reiterated today. But she
learned a lot of things, and one
of them was to appreciate the
men of this country. She ex-
planned:
French Too Polite
"The French men are too
polite. They are all the time
kissing your hands. 1t is too
forced, / like the American
men the best" -...
It is going to be a struggle to
return to her desk in the print
ing office on Monday, she said.
Reminiscing of all the picturesque
and beautiful sights she saw, and
of all the gay times she had in
Partisan night clubs will put a
damper. on the daily routine Of

WINTER WORK
PLANS SCANNED
City Officials Consider Ways
of Aiding JobIeSS.

City officials today were consider
ing ways of providing winter work
for hundreds of the city's jobless,
who will be enrolled under the
Chamber of Commerce made work"
program.
The method of allowing men to
work for their baskets of food will
be followed again this year.
Heads of the city engineers de-
partment and the park system
already have outlined several
projects on which such 1aborers may
be used.
Completion of the New York
street resurfacing and widening
project from Dorman street to
Highland avenue, will employ about
fifty men. The street is to be cut
through the north side of Highland
park, necessitating removal of tons
of dirt, all of which "made-work"
men may do with pick and shovel.
Other park projects, such as COM
pletion of the Pleasant Run park
way, south drive, from Shelby street
to keystone avenue, may be held
up because of the budget reductions
ordered by the state tax board.
The "madework" program also
may have to be used on golf courses,
where lack of funds in the regular
budget is forcing the park depart
ment to discharge twenty-one
laborers.

OKLAHOMA GAS FIRM
is BEATEN AT POLLS
States Largest Utility Loses Plea
for Franchise Renewal.

By United Press
OKLAHOMA, CITY, Oct. %
Citizens of Oklahoma City decided
Tuesday by vote of 1898 to 1876,
against renewing the franchise of
the states largest public utility, the
Oklahoma Natural Gas Corporation.
The present franchise still has three
years to run.
The company recently reduced its
rates from 81 cents a thousand
cubic feet to As cents and claimed
that over a period of twenty-five
years it gave Oklahoma City the
lowest gas rates of any city in the
country of more than 1000 popula-
ton.
The recent reduction followed
Governor William H. Murray's cam
paign against what he termed SEX
cessive" public utility charges.
