Dupont Circle Association Acts to
Curb Unnecessary Disturbances
on Streets.

The Dupont Circle Citizens Associa-
ton, after an address by Harral Null
liken describing the progress in New
York City to eliminate excess noise con-
stituted by horns, unadjusted brakes and
loose parts Of automobiles and trucks,
appointed a committee of five persons
to study conditions in this city.
T. H. B. Mcknight, Mr.. Mulliken, E.
G.. Bliss, r. L. Longstreet and Admiral
Joseph Strauss were appointed to study
noise conditions in Washington.
The association adopted another
resolution at its meeting in the May
flower yesterday afternoon, which was
introduced by Admiral William I,edyard
Rodgers requesting that the proper au-
thorities secure passage CT appropriate
laws to prohibit from residential sec
tons of the city between. the hours Of
10 pm. and 8 am. any vehicles pro-
pclled by motor power, which have solid
tires, chain drive, or unmuftied ex-
hauSts.
It was pointed out that trucks, ce-
ment mixers, and steam shovels are a
distinct annoyance while passing
through streets between these hours and
that the use of the streets by such We
hicles also deprecates the value of prop
erty for residence purposes.
Maj. Clayton E. Emig introduced a
resolution which was passed urging the
District Commissioners to enforce the
law against parking more than Is hours
in one spot.
The District Commissioners were also
requested to instruct all policemen TO
enforce all regulations IN regard to the
smoke nuisance in another resolution
passed by the association.
Widening of M street west from
Connecticut avenue to Georgetown was
discussed. 1t was stated that M street,
which is now 80 feet wide. was only half
wide enough to carry the traffic from
M street to Rhode Island avenue.

BLAINE QUIZ TO ASK
D. C. BLUE SKY LAW
Probers Expected to Seek
New Securities Commission,
ReaItor Licenses.

! Meeting in executive session today,
The subcommittee of the Senate, headed
BY Senator Blaine of Wisconsin, viz
tually completed its report to be made
shortly to the Senate on the results
of its extensive investigations into real
estate business and sale of securities in
Washington.
Senator Blaine said after the meeting
that there was substantial agreement
among members of the committee as to
the type of legislation which they will
recommend to be enacted in order to
set up protection for investors in realty
securities and real estate. Committee
hearings were held during the past year.
1t was indicated the report would
recommend adoption of blue sky
law, which would set up a securities
commission with power to permit or
prevent the sale of certain realty securi-
ties, and a second bill designed to eS-
tablish additional protection for prop
erty purchasers i'll cases Of mortgage
foreclosures.
Will Ask Realty Licenses.
The committee also is expected to re-
new its recommendation for enactment
of a law providing for the licensing of
real estate brokers and statesmen. The
Senate last May passed such license
bill. and is now awaiting similar action
in the House.
The House District Committee has
reported favorably upon this real estate
license measure, and Representative Nc
Leod, acting committee chairman, has
announced he hopes to have the House
act favorably upon this bill at this
session.
Reports Due Out.
Senator Blaine indicated today he
plans to have the committee lay its
report on it's lengthy investigations be-
fore the Senate for consideration at
this session. He pointed out, however,
that If final action by the Senate is
not possible at this session, matters at
least would have been simplified by the
subcommittee having formally made its
report.
Thus, he said, it would only be nee
essary at the next session for the bills
effected to be reintroduced. and that

NAMES RETURNED
Move to Test Authority of
President Seen in Act
to Get Rejection.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee today reported back to the
Senate without recommendation the
nominations of the three members Of
the Power Commission whose names
President Hoover has refused to return
to the Senate.
The nominations were of Chairman
Smith and Commissioners Garsaud
and Draper.
The action was unanimous. It was a
preliminary move to have the Senate
formally reject the nominations of the
three commissioners, in order 10
strengthen its court test of the Presi-
dents authority to retain the three
commissioners in office.
A resolution impends before the
Senate to request District Attorney Leo
A. Rover to institute proceedings to test
the right of the Commissioners to office,
in view of the Senates reconsideration
of their combinations.
Some members of the Senate major
ity, which is carrying on the battle with
the President over the three nomina-
lions, felt 1t would be better legal
tactics to actually reject the nomina-
lions before taking the case to the
courts.
Members of the committee agreed to-
day that in view of the circumstances
the committee should report the names
back to the Senate without recon-
mendation, in order that the Senate
might take what action 1t desired.
