By GEORGE F. SHAFER


Governor George F. Shafer Fri
day issued the following state
ment:
The election returns available
indicate that have been decisive
~ defeated in the race for the
Republican nomination for Unit
ed States senator. I, therefore.
wish to express my deep and last
ing thanks to the many thousands
of my personal friends and poll
tical supporters throughout the
state for the earnest and loyal
support which they have given
me not only in this, but in the
many other campaigns in which
have been a candidate in the past
10 years.
Politics is a game in which the
participants must expect, now and
then, to accept defeats as we'll as
victories. I accept the defeat now
occurring in the same spirit of
good craftsmanship which I have
tried to manifest in the numerous
OCCdSlUlLS WIlCll AAuSC bSCI CuS0
ceSsful.
Il trust that the friends of good
government in the state will not
allow this defeat, which believe
is temporary reverse only, to
weaken their determination to
carry on the fight against the ag-
gressions of radicalism and in de-
tense of real constitutional gov
eminent. If We will but keep
faith and retain our courage in
the face of temporary defeat, We
will not fail to soon recover the
ground now apparently lost. In
deed, we must not surrender. for
the preservation of not only our
liberties but our property depends
upon our ability and will to fight
with relentless determination for
principles of sound government IN
both the state and the nation"

Glen Echo Keeps
Gates Open

The Glen Echo Park manage
ment hit the nail on the head
when they guessed the public
wanted the big resort to remain
open after Labor Day. The
Maryland resort gives the impres-
sion of midsummer, not Indian
summer.
Crowds are enthusiastic over
the sports and amusementS. Crys-
tai Pool is proving as much of
lure now as it ever did; day and
night gaiety reigns supreme
among the water lovers, splash

beach. High up on the airplane
swings, and on the thrilling roller
coaster, the shouts of the merry
makers are as much in evidence
as of yore. The Old Mill. like
the babbling brook, is still splash
ing along with its quota Of those
who prefer the boat ride.

JAM At SCHOOL
To 'STAGGER'
GLASSES
Eastern High Taxed to Ca
pacity; Faced by Another
Increase in February

Congestion at Eastern High
School, the worst in any school
for several years, will necessitate
a staggered" program Of classes
with the beginning of the new
semester in February.
According to DR.. Stephen E.
Kramer, first assistant superin-
tendent of schools in charge Of
high schools, the unexpected over
crowding of Eastern will mean
readjustment of the class sched-
ule so as to accommodate the
more than 2,700 students.
The staggered" system is prac-
tically the same as a part-time
schedule, except that the school
is kept in continuous operation,
without the usual noon.hour
break.
At present, the enrolment at
the school is well over $500.
The school was built to accom-
modate no more than 2,000. 1t
is expected, DR.. Kramer said,
that the number will be in
creased by more than 200 for
the new semester.
This is the first time that
Eastern has ever been so crowd
ed, he said, and the increase in
enrolment has been totally un-
expected.

Unemployed persons who were
hired to remove the recent snow
from city streets, and extra per-

Postoffice Department to assist
in handling Christmas mail,
would not be affected by pro-
visions of the economy act under
a resolution introduced in the
House today by Representative
John w. Mccormick CD of Mas
sachusetts.
The resolution also provides
that when the Government en-
cages people to clean snow out
side the District that the economy
act shall not apply.
The resolution provides that in
case where people have been paid
reduced wages that the difference
shall be made up so that they
will draw their full wage.

while members refused to state
definitely that the appropriation
had been recommended it was
indicated that it had been.
District officials asked Con-

figure which is estimated will
be the sum needed up to July /.

SENATE URGED
TOPROSECUTE
LANDLORDS
Most Rapacious in U. S.,
Claims Brinkman; Asks
P. U. c. Control

Washington landlords have
established reputation for
rapacity that is probably un-
surpassed in this country, Oscar
H. Brinkman, Investigator for the
Senate District Rent InveStigat-
ing Committee, declared today.
Concluding his report of the
findings of his investigation,
Brinkman recommended that the
evidence developed, which, he
said, showed violations of the
Federal Antitrust law, should be
turned over to the Department
of Justice for prosecution.
A period of emergency should
be declared by Congress, Brink.
man said, and during that period
there should be a moratorium of
six months on mortgage fore
closures and judges of the Munich.
pal Court should be given authori-
ty to stay the execution of writs
of restitution.
Offers IL Recommendations
In list of II recommendations,
Brinkman also recommended that
no appropriations should be made
for the requirement Of parks or
for construction of costly build
ingS in the District until sums
have been authorized for con-
struction by public authority or
by quasi-public of decent housing
accommodations for allev resi-
dents.
Brinkman also recommended
that Congress should vest author
ity to regulate rents over q
period of two years in a housing
division of the Public Utilities
Commission, strengthen usury
statutes and laws prohibiting re.
straint of trade and commerce,
and regulate unfair and unjust
provisions of leases.
Exorbitant mortgages that in
many instances exceed the as
seSs | value of District apartment
house properties were given as one
of many reasons for maintenance
VI EXCESSIVE rentals.
Brinkman said in certain cases
of their assessed valuation, among
which were mentioned Valley
Vista apartments, on which were
mortgages and trusts amounting
to $1,047 ,406, although the as
se5sed value was only $4,000.
Mortgages Are High
He also pointed out the Chal-
fonte Apartments, assessed at
$962,00O, was mortgaged for ST.
10000 and that Harvard Hall,
assessed at 1892, 900, is mortgaged
at $90O,OOO.
Excessive mortgages of this
kind, Brinkmar said, necessitated
the payment of large interest
rates that were figured in the
maintenance costs.
With this taken into considera-
ton, Brinkman said, many apart
ment owners were unable to Sc.
cure returns that they otherwise
would have received.
In a letter to the committee
today j. G. Yaden, Of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations,
said that hundeds of persons
were threatened with the loss Of
their homes because of heavy in
cumbrances.
