CRAB SEASON
/ UNDER WAY IN
MARYLAND

The grabbing season opened to-
day in the Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries.
Last year the crab season was
considered highly successful, both
from the standpoint of produc-
ton and for providing employ
ment to the water men. There
was a good supply of both hard
and soft crabs at the beginning
of the season and the number
increased as the season advanced.
Due to the warm weather Of
the last two winters, the tempera-
ture of the waters has not been
low enough to cause much freez-
ing in the bay and its tributaries
and there has been no great loss
of crabs from this cause.
Reports from Crisfield, Md,
the headquarters of the princi
pal packers of Maryland, said
the catch today was exceptionally
good and both the catchers and
packers say that they expect a
much larger supply of crabs this
year than last.
The oyster season ended IN
Maryland on Saturday.

TRAFFIC DELAY
. HERE COSTLY

Traffic congestion on washing
ton streets is costing business
houses operating commercial
vehicles a minimum of $30,0OO,-
600 a year, according to an esti-
mate made by Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer. He based
his calculation on a 10-minute
loss Of time each day by each
commercial vehicle.
He estimated $4,000 hours are
lost by business automobiles
whose time he valued at 81 per
hour. Multiplying a loss of $780,
900 daily by 800 days, he arrived
at the figure of $30,000,000.
Director Van Duzer said if the
money and time lost as result
Of the 7,400 accidents in Wash
ington annually were added to
the congestion losses, the traffic
problem here would assume stag
gering proportions. Reports show,
he said, that one car in each 20
here is involved in an accident
each year and that there is a
fatality for each 1,740 cars reg

ALIEN WORKERS

Several complaints that aliens
are being employed on the new

been made to the Department Of
Labor, it was said today.
Under the law, there is no
provision to prevent contractors
from employing any workmen
they choose on these Federal
construction jobs. Certain groups
among the members of the build
ing trades unions have sug-
gested the possibility of legiSla-
ton which would bar aliens
from Government work.
Local members of the building
trades say that few if any of
their number are employed on
the House Office Building annex,
the contractors having brought in
their own men from outside.

Congress has been deceived and

Admitting the corporation has
done some good work and has

referred specifically to the $12,-

DRINK HEARTY,

MRS. A. d. SWOR

HELsING NGFORS, April S
G.N.SO.-Finland opened its
mouth wide today to drink legal
liquor for the first time in 13
years.
Haltingly at first, but with
gradually increasing Smoothness
as the day progressed, the new
government liquor industry swung
into motion and the closing hour
for official alcohol dispensaries
was greeted with protests and
ironic cheers for prohibition.
No liquor was sold in hotels
and restaurants until the late
afternoon, owing to a disagree
ment between proprietors and
the government over the margin
of profit allowed them, with the
result that during most of the
day Helsingfors was actually
drier than usual.
The restaurant owners finally
capitulated, however, and began
serving liquor under conditions
dictated by the government
monopoly.
The demand at the liquor
shops was chiefly for beer and
vodka, but cognac and whisky
enjoyed a good sale. Women
were among the first buyers.

Mass, April 5 Q.N.S.).-Sig-
mails flashing between an auto
mobile on South Beach and
an unknown vessel off shore
in the open Atlantic today,
were thought to anticipate a
third flight over Vineyard
Sound by Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh in the hunt for his
kidnapped baby.
At the same time marks Of

Meanwhile word came from
New Jersey that the Lindbergh
plane was being groomed, per-
haps for another seaWard dash.
The opinion was expressed gen
orally that the man who left

that Colonel Lindbergh was keep

PINCHOT FLAYS
FOREST POLICY

Governor Clifford Pinchot. of
Pennsylvania, back in his old role
as a forester and conServationist,
today asSailed the recommenda-
tions of the commission ap-
pointed by President Hoover to
settle the public land question
of the West.
The governor appeared before
the House Public Lands COM
mittee by invitation and criti-
cized James R. Garfield, chair
man of the commission, with
whom he went through the con-
servation fight in the Roosevelt
administration.
The recommendation of the
Public Lands Commission under
which commissions of five could
eliminate land from national
forests was opposed by Pinchot.
He said:
"The present national for
eStS are the result of 40 years
of conflict. What we have now
is the result of the application
of the Roosevelt conservation
policy, and the public lands
commission now proposes to
throw these overheard.
"It is incOnceivable to me
how Garfield, who stood like a
rock by Roosevelt, can be ad-
vOcating a bill which puts the
forests at the mercy of these
committees in each State"

BONUS LINK,
BEERLEVY
REVIVED
Party Lines Shattered as Up
per House Tackles Bill Pass
ed by Representatives

With party lines shattered,
the Senate girded itself today
for a struggle over the new
billion-dollar tax bill with
sideline battles over sales
tax, a beer tax, and payment
of the soldiers bonus.
The sales and beer taxes,
beaten in the House, will be re-
vived in the Senate.
Senator Reed (R) of Pennsyl-
vania will seek Senate approval
of a sales tax to offset some of
the heavier income and excises.
Senator Bingham (R0 of Con-
necticut will lead the drive for
a beer tax, which, he argued,
would raise a billion dollars and
obvgiate the necessity for increas-
ing any other taxes.
Bonus, Taxes Linked
The bonus battle has been
linked to the tax bill. While the
House will begin hearings next
Monday on a separate bill, all
arguments revolve around the
Governments ability to pay the
bonus in cash with huge deficit
hanging over the Treasury.
AL three propositions appeared
doomed to defeat. The death
knell for the cash bonus plan
was sounded when Senator Har-
rison CD of Mississippi, Demo
cratic finance leader, announced
his opposition to it.
Harrison Cites Costs
After pointing out how the
cost of government had increased
from $1,0O0,OO0,000 in 1916 to
$4,000, ,000, 900 last year, of which
81, 900, 100000 alone was for re-
lief of war veterans, Harrison
added:
'In order to balance the bud
get, not OILY Will 1t be neceS-
sary to increase taxes, but to
cut Government expenditures
many hundreds of millions.
''I am citing this to show the
impOsSibiIity of undertaking, in
view of the condition of the
country and the Federal Treas
ury, the immediate payment of
adjusted service certificates"
Reed meanwhile defended the
tax, which the House re-
jected.
Soaking Rich Futile"
With food and clothing exempt,
Reed declared the average citizen
would have to pay only $5 or $6 a
year if the tax we're fixed at 2A
per cent, as first suggested in the
House.
He declared the budget couldn't
be balanced by merely soaking
the rich" or taxing huge incomes,
because such taxes will not begin
to yield the necessary revenue.
