D. c. HEADS PUSH
SCHOOL SITE DEAL
Education Board Told Reno
Land Purchase Is Pro-
crossing.

The District Commissioners replied
today to the Board of Education's re-
quest for information outlining the
status of their attempted purchase of a
senior high school site in the Reno
section Of Chevy Chase.
In the reply addressed to the board
by Daniel GargeS, secretary to the
Board of Commissioners the municipal
heads asserted they are proceeding with
out delay in the purchase. They failed,
however. to outline the present status
OF the transaction as requested, and did
not refer to reports they would not pur-
chase the land until Congress convened.
After acknowledging receipt of the
School Boards letter, Mr. Garges' reply
contained single sentence referring
specifically to the boards question. 1t
was:
The Commissioners desire me to in
form you that they are proceeding with
out delay In the purchase of a site for
the proposed senior high school in the
Reno section"
At meeting 10 days ago, the Board
OF Education agreed to take a second
step in its efforts to accelerate purchase
OF the site, for which an appropriation
Of $4,000 has been available since
February. This second step was an
agreement to address petition to the
Commissioners for an explanation Of
the status of the purchase. 1t followed
conference with the Commissioners
last month, when a committee of
School Board members made an urgent
appeal for immediate action in the pur-
chase.
At that time it was reported the site

RAILROADS OPPOSE
AIDING NEEDY LINES
Argue Before |. C. C. That 1t
Would Be Illegal to Garry
Out Pooling Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Nations major carriers argued
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today that it would be illegal
for them to give money to needy rail-
roads.
Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel for
the American Railway Association,
opened the plea for modification of the
commissions surcharge pooling plan.
Thorn said the railroads considered
the commission plan, outlined in the
Is per cent rate increase decision last
month, did not specify definitely that
the commission intended the surcharge
money to be given tc roads in difficult
ties. The commission specified that
money derived from surcharges en-
freight bills be pooled to pay bond in
terest for lines in trouble
Thorn told the commission stock
holders OF contributing roads probably
would seek to enjoin their directors from
giving away their property" as an
illegal diversion of assets.
He said the legality of such gifts
not be argued that the surcharges would
not be the property Of the railroads
collecting them"
The loan plan outlined by the rail-
roads in their petition for modifica-
ton, he argued, would accomplish the
commissions purpose.
He said the railroads were confident
they would get enough assentS to their
plan to make it workable
The commission on October 20 de-
MED the railroads the right to make a
blanket increase Of is per cent in
freight rates. It held injustices would
be caused and public sentiment adverse
to the carriers would be created.
AS an alternative, the commission
said it would approve certain increases
by use OF Surcharges, provided the rail-
roads agreed to pool the money to be
derived to care for needs of carriers
unable to meet interest on their bonds
The roads were given until Deem
Der to present a plan for carrying out
the commissions proposal. Last week
they suggested amendment of the plan
and presented an outline of proposed
railroad credit corporation to make
loans instead of gifts. They also asked
certain changes in methods of applying
SurchargeS and some details that would
make administrative work easier.

Food at Fort Also Is Exhausted as
Refugees Come From Mesa.

GALLUP, N. NJ, November % (P.-
Famine today arose to confront Indian
and white rescue workers in the stricken
areas of Western New Mexico, where
9 Indians have died and between 800
and 400 pinon nut hunters are still
missing, following last Saturdays bliz-
gard.
The bodies of a Navajo Indian and
baby were reached last night. Two
Indians, whose names previously had
been included in the death toll were
found alive, but dangerously Ill from
exposure.
Supt. John H. Hunter of the South
ern Navajo Jurisdiction at Fort De-
f1ance, AriZ., said he would appeal to
Washington for relief Of the Indians of
his Jurisdiction. The small supply of
corn at Fort Defiance has dwindled
away.
Snow Flows Sent to Open Trail.
Hunter dispatched three snow plows
the Indians sheep to new forage areas.
The fiocks, he said, were trapped in
remote mountain sections with no food
Indian officials are faced with three
immediate problems. They must round
up all the Indians scattered from Zuni
to Quemado, 200 miles to the south.
They must bring in those Indians whose
horses are dead. They must get all the
Indians back to their homes.
Refugees Sent Home.
Supt. w. A. Trotter of the Zuni
Agency, has ruled that Navajos seeking
refuge at Zuni may remain only "a
hours and then must be started toward
their homes. The Zuni Agency he ex-
planned, is in no better shape for food
than the Navajo Agency.
While Trotter and Hunter believed
that the real emergency has passed
with the arrival of milder weather, both
pointed out that a sudden temperature
drop yet might cause heavy casualties
among the Indians who are still on the
mesa.
