"I do not think you need have
any fear that we can not find work

can always improve present high
ways. If nothing else they can be
widered. The constant demand and
need is for wider highways.
MY worry is to get the money

A blood-stained trail through
the fresh snow early today led
police to the scene of a shooting
in which Leo Scott, colored, AZ,
of Washington Court northwest,
was fatally wounded by former
sweetheart.
Scott, with blood gushing from
his mouth and nose, was found
by a pedestrian at Fifth and P

day by Oscar H. Brinkman, COM
mittee counsel, in a report sub
mitted to the Senate District sub.
committee investigating rents.
In a voluminous report cover.
ing his findings and conclusions
after four-months' study, Brink
man declared local rents are
higher than in 19 other cities of
the same size, that rates have
not been reduced perceptibly and
that "a per cent of District resi-
dents living in rented homes and
apartments have been involved
in suits for possession of their
premises in landlord and tenant
cases in recent months.
Evidence Asked
Brinkman advised the commit
tee when he submitted his report
that some of the conclusions
were his own opinions and the
committee agreed not to accept
his suggestions as an official
committee document until all of
his findings are borne out by
evidence.
On the introduction of Brink
mans report. he was told by
Senator william H. King CD Of
Utah that in view of the fact
that some of his conclusions
were based on testimony taken
privately and not in the record,
it would be impossible to know
whether the conclusions were
warranted.
Promises to Back Data
King told him the committee
could not put approval on his
report unless his conclusions were
backed up by tangible evidence.
To this Brinkman replied that
he was not in the habit of max
ing assertions unless they we're
warranted and he declared he
could produce evidence and testi-

Brinkman also said in his re

pay their rents. He was told by
Senator Royal S. Copeland CD
of New York that he was con-
vinced there are apartments and
dwelling houses in the District
where rentals are exhorbitant
and impose hardships on the
tenants.
Copeland Disputed
Copeland also said he was OF
the opinion that District rents
have not gone down perceptibly
in recent years.
On this point, he entered into
debate with Roger j. White
ford, attorney for the Washing
ton Real Estate Board, who con-
tended that rents generally have
been reduced.

SEEK
. To END BAN ON
+. PROMOTIONS
Favorable Sentiment Is Based
on Belief Economy Act
DiSruptS Employees

Strong sentiment developed in
the Senate Economy Committee
today to recommend against con-
tinuance of the provision of the
economy act which prohibits
automatic promotions within
grades of Federal service.
Although no decision was
reached, it was reported there is
a tendency among members of
the committee to advocate re-
peal of this section on the theory
that it disorganizes Government
departments and is too drastic a
curb on employees.
FurIOugh Is Assured
Retention of the furlough still
appeared assured after today's
session. but the committee formed
no definite conclusion.
There was some discussion of
applying a small additional cut
to warrant any petty officers of
the Army and Navy who are not
now affected by the reduction.
Consideration of the proposal
to eliminate the promotion ban
occupied the better part of the
morning session and it is be-
lieved there is an inclination
among members to decide at an
early date to incorporate in
their report to the Senate a
recommendation against the pro
hibition.
DiSrupts Whole Scale
It was pointed out in the COM
mittee that this limitation not
only affects employees at the
present time but disorganiZes the
entire promotion scale.
It also was said that, employees
working under definite promo
ton scheme were entitled to ex-
pect certain periodical increases
and the economy act limitation
had been a serious detriment
not offset by savings to the
Government.
While President Hoover was
sending a message to Congress
yesterday saying that 30 employ
ment agencies throughout the
country will be closed at the end
of this month if Congress fails
to approve a 100000 supple
mental appropriation for the
United States Employment Ser
vice, President William Green of
the American Federation of La
Dor asSailed the House for con-
tinuing the payless furlough and
the Senate for threatening fur
ther pay cuts
155 Face Loss Of Jobs
If the employment agencies are
closed, the president said, 155 en-
ployes will be discharged, and the
rest put on a 45-day administra-
tive furlough. Eleven agencies
have been closed.
Green said the proposal before
the Senate for a cut on top of the
furlough would create "a bad
psychological condition through
out the country" He said labor
throughout the country looks on
the fight Of Federal employees
against lowered living standards
as its fight and he adds that the
fight will continue until labor
wins.

Jacob Glowitz said two nervous
colored men entered his store in

frightened and ran without
taking anything.

but as to- fighting for his life. This is another
version of fighting the cause" but it espe-
ciay important because it drags in the origins of the
war, and in a peculiarly difficult way.
Divided Guilt
Researches in the past Is years have totally destroyed
the myth of Germanys unique and exclusive guilt for

and think that in most calculations England off

generation to uphold her Supremacy" at sea, as
measure of self deense of course but also as measure
of defending her and her investments abroad
In 1917 l interviewed a number of British indus
triasts, asking them to say what they thought would
happen to their country after the war They spoke of
taking Germanys place in South America and elsewhere
of creating German dyes in England of destroying Ger
manys pretentons in the Near East The Germans

fact that Alsace-Lorrane essential to their heavy

after the the hands of every German would be

Profit-or Guilt
If like Keynes going to deny the economic
basis of the warbut perhaps that phrase exactly

If men like Keynes going to deny that the

of profit out of sight is absurd.
The war turned out proftess to the winners and the
losers Seeing this quite early the vctors attempted to
throw upon Germany exclusive guilt in the treaty and
exclusive punishment in the form of reparations Both
efforts have failed The reparatons have been scaled
down to cent the dollar provided the debt to us is
also scaled down. But the wargut clause still stays in
the treaty And the French who have just voted not to
pay their debts to say that they cannot change the
treaty because they believe in the sanctty of written
