CUT FROM RECORD
La Guardia Had Called Head OF
Airline "Contemptible" for
Pay Cut Policy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A friendly argument between Repre-
sentative La Guardia, Republican, of
New York, and Chairman Rayburn OF
the House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee today expunged from the COM
mittee record statement that E. l.
Cord, president of Century Air Lines, is
contemplate"
La Guardia used the word in asking
the committee to approve his bill,
which would let the Board of Mediation
settle disputes between airline operators
and pilots.
La Guardia referred to the recent
appearance of Cord before the House
Appropriations Committee when he
offered to carry airmail for half what
the Government now pays.
Cord then went back to Chicago,
La Guardia said, and told his pilots
he was going to take the romance out
of aviation"
La Guardia then referred to the
lockout of Century Airline pilots who
objected to the pay cuts, and said
This man Cord-his first name is
immaterial because he is so contempt
ible everybody knows who he is If we
just say Cord"
Rayburn asked La Guardia to strike
out Of the record that harsh word, "
recalling that when a similar statement
was made recently about another man,
the committee had to hear him for
two days"

ether cases, replacement is due to de-
terioration.
Water Department officials point out
that many of the old mains were laid
at insufficient depths to withstand
heavy traffic conditions and replace
ment is necessary because of frequent
and expensive maintenance costs. These
requirements are done in advance of
repaving and in coordination with the
program of the Highway Department
A portion of the replacement fund
also is used for the installation of new
I divide valves on trunk mains, which,
through age and deterioration, become
imperative.
Restoration Urged.
Restoration to the District appro-
priation bill of all Water Department
items eliminated by the House is to be
one OF the principal aims of the Com
misSioners when they appear before
the Senate Committee. Stress will be
placed on the fact that the activities
| of both the supply and distribution
branches of the Water Department are
! financed entirely from funds derived
and assessments at rates fixed by law
to raise sufficient money to take care OF
current activities only.
The Commissioners also plan to i'm
press on the Senate Committee that
only when the current needs Of the
Water Department exceed available
revenue should economies be consid-
cred, and point out that it is not their
policy to create a surplus in the water
fund at the expense of the paying
water consumers.

was adjourned. Mr.. Lambert insisted
upon his appeal instructed the vice
president of the company to put the
motion nullifying the adjournment.
Motion Is Carried.
"This motion was carried by Mr.. Lam
bert and his associates. Mr.. Lambert
then made a motion that there be
stricken from the minutes the entire
reference made by Mr.. Wood to the
order served upon him by the Public
Utilities Commission, prohibiting the
owners Of the 109,176 shares from vot-
ing at the meeting. This motion was
carried by Mr.. Lambert and his as
sociates and the deleted minutes merely
record the fact that the meeting was
adjourned because of the absence of
quorum of the stock.
Neither Mr.. Lambert nor Mr.. Dean
made any explanation Of their reason
for not desiring to have the minutes
record what actually occurred. In their
| changed form the minutes are entirely
| incorrect.
TT is also interesting to note that
Mr.. Lambert implied that none of the
parties mentioned in the order of the
Public Utilities Commission as owning
| the 109,l76 shares of the stock of the
| gas company is recorded in the records
of the company as owning that stock
From the legal point Of view, 1t is an
interesting question as to whether Mr..
Lambert and his minority associates
had the right to depose the president Of
the Washington Gas Light Co. as chair
man Of the meeting and strike from the
minutes not an error, but statement
| Of absolute fact"
Lambert Defends Action.
Mr.. Lambert explained his effort to
prevent any reference to the order of
the commission getting into the official
records was solely for the protection of
i the stockholders Acknowledgement of
the receipt Of service of that order, he
pointed out, would have prejudiced the
case OF the stockholders and tiled their
hands" in any legal developments that
might grow out of the order.
| Furthermore, Mr.. Lambert declared
none of the stockholders referred to
in the commissions order was repre-
sented at the meeting. Slightly more
| than 1000 shares were represented, he
said, and they were owned by Wash
ington interests.
There could have been no business
| transacted at the meeting Monday be-
cause quorum was lacking, and 1t
would have been improper for the
minutes to carry anything except men
ton of the fact that a meeting was
not held on account Of the lack of a
quorum" said Mr. Lambert. 'Mr
Wood was out of order in even men
tioning the commissions Older"

William Mitchell has upheld him in
his refusal.
About a month before election,
says Representative Cochran, when
for some reason the colored brethren
started DESERVING the Republican
party" a new loan office was opened
in st. Louis, two blocks from the
main office, and a Negro man and
ten Negro assistants were put in
charge. Letters were sent out say
ing the offense had been created to
aid Negro farmers" and continued
with promises of loans.
Representative Cochran charges
that a seed and crop production

at the extreme end of the district it
serves, so that applicants would
have to write in.
AS a result he claims more than
$50 persons were employed at one

OUTLINE DEFINITE PLAN

AS yet the outbreak of flu in this

proportions. However, every one is
urged to follow every precaution
against it's spread especially to be
careful in avoiding and treating
colds just now. Colds pull down
body resistance and pave the way
for flu and all it's serious complica-

The safest course to follow is that
outlined in Vicks Plan for better
Control Of Colds This proved Plan
combines certain simple rules of
health with proper medication, at
the proper time. It's effect is to re-
duce the number and spread of
colds-to lessen the severity and
duration of those that do come
Briefly, it is this:
To Prevent Many Colds
Live normally-don't worry. Get
plenty of rest and sleep. Eliminate
regularly. Drink lots of water. Eat
light, wholesome food. Watch your
self and children carefully for any

To End a Cold Sooner
If a cold has developed or strikes
without warning, vigorous measures
are necessary. Rest as much as pos
sible, preferably in bed. Take a
mild laxative-if needed.
At bedtime, massage throat and
chest well with Vicks VapoRub. 1t

skin, like a poultice or plaster; and
by Inhalation of its medicated
vapors direct to irritated air-pas-

disease.
During the day, use the convent

or irritated from coughing, there is
pleasant relief in the new Vicks

FACE SCRUTINY
BY DRY AGENTS
But City Police Will Be
Instructed to use
Discretion

Prospective legaliZation Of beer
and repeal of prohibition should not
be considered too seriously Saturday
night by New Years eve celebrators.
If they do. they may find them
selves in trouble with the federal
government, John H. Morrill,, deputy
dry administrator, warned today.
Federal dry agents probably will
be instructed to look over road
houses, clubs and other places where
the occasion will be celebrated"
Morrill, said, and to do their best to
apprehend liquor law violators.
Cops to use Discretion"
"Proprietors of public places
knowingly permitting liquor law VIC
lations will be arrested, if the agents
catch them"
Apparently celebrators will have
less to fear from city police, for
Chief Mike Morrissey today said his
officers have been instructed TO use
discretion"
Police will be told to keep a close
watch on the celebration" NIorrissey
said we want every one to have
a good time, but to keep within
reason.
THE officers will be instructed
not to go to extremes, but we don't
want the celebrators to go to ex-
tremes either.
THE main idea will be to keep the
city safe for all citizens and to pro-
tect citizens property.
Watch for Drunken Drivers
IAN especially close watch will be
kept for drunken drivers.
we want every one to enjoy the
occasion to the utmost, but to con-
slider the law enforcement officers
at the same time"
Morrissey also warned proprietors
of clubs and roadhouses against
serving "setups," adding that where
soft drinks are served at tables, the
drinks must be poured into glasses
and the bottles removed Immediate
