MUCH DISTRESS
!. REVEALED BY
LEWIS
Representative Asks State to
Share in National Aid
Fund at Once

BALTIM ORE, Aug. II.
Distress is so acute in the
mining regions of Western
Maryland that the State should
apply to the Federal Govern
ment Immediately for aid
through the national relief
fund.
This conviction was expressed
yesterday by Representative David
j. Lewis, of the sixth district, on
his return from an investigation
of conditions in Allegheny and
Garrett counties where unemploy-
ment in the coal fields is more
severe now than at any period in
the coal mining history of Mary
land.
Calls Situation Acute
He said:
II am convinced that there is
no way to take care of these
distressed people except by
Maryland sharing in the ma
tional relief fund. The situa-
tion in the mining counties is
such that it is imperative that
action be taken at once"
Probes Begun There
Representative Lewis has re-
turned to Washington.
A committee appointed by Gov
ernor Ritchie to Investigate u-
employment conditions in the
State will confer today with the
board of Allegany county at Cum
berland and will hold a similar
conference with Garrett county
officials at Oakland tomorrow.

GEN. GLASSF ORD.
IN PAY JAM

Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glass
ford superintendent of police, is
still in a quandary today over
the question raised by him as to
whether he will receive his re-
tired pay from the Army upon
the termination of his service
with the District government.
At the police chiefs request,
the District Commissioners put
the question up to Comptroller
General John R. McCarl. The
comptroller replied that the ques-
ton involved payment from an
appropriation not under the ad-
ministrativ control of the Com
missioners. therefore holding it
was not properly before him for
decision.
At its last session Congress
passed a law providing that a
person receiving compensation
in retired pay for military Serv-
ice to the Government and in
addition to a salary from the
District or Federal Governments
would have to elect which sum
he would take during his service
in civilian office.
General GlasSford, so as not
to endanger receiving retired pay
of $4,312.14 year from the
Army, has not accepted any
salary since July l, under his
$4,000 year job as chief of
police.

GOV. ROOSEVELT VIRGINIA SEEKS
INVITED HERE R.F. c. LOAN

After conference here with
members of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, Gov. John
Garland Pollard, of Virginia, is to
make a survey of unemployment
and distress in the Old Dominion
and return with data to back up
an application for a Federal loan.
Governor Pollard saw members
of the R. F.. C. yesterday and said
afterward he was "encouraged"
over the prospects for assistance.
Virginia spots most in need, he
said, will be reached first, and
these include the tobacco belt and
such industrial centers as Roanoke
and Pulaski.
Governor Pollard had in mind
today an application for a loan
of $3,500,000 for the State at
large and $750,000 more asked by
NorfoI for public works. These
figures, however, may be changed
after the survey.

Governor Has No Authority in
Matter; Situation Well in

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 11.-De-
claring he has no authority to
''interfere" in matters per-
tanning to rates of public
utilities, Gov. Albert C. Rltchie
sees nothing in the present
rate situation to justify insti-
tuition Of proceedings.
This was the tenor of his reply
to a letter from Meyer Reamer,
Baltimore city councilman. who
sponsored a recent city council
resolution calling on the gas and
electric company and the CheSa-
peake and Potomac Telephone
Company to reduce their rates to
parity with the existing prices
Of other commodities and ser.
vices"
Stating that apparently John
Henry Levin, peoples counsel,
is solicitous for the public in.
terest, the governor wrote:
"The law, of course, places
this subject exclusively in the
hands Of the Public Service
Commission and the peoples
counsel, and gives no authority
at all to the governor in the
matter.
"The peoples counsel and the
commission are following the
situation closely and are in a
position to act promptly if and
when further reduction in rates
can be justified.
II recognize the deSirability
of securing the cheapest pos
sible rates for the benefit Of
the people, but do not see
anything in the situation at
present which would justify me
interfering with or giving direc-
ton to those officials whose
province is to deal with the
situation and who, it seems to
me, have it we'll in hand"

TOKYO, Japan, Feb. 2T. = The Japanese high command is prepar- ing to use the air force and Navy to strike at distant points in China to prevent further endorsements reaching Shanghai.
 It is reported here that the Jap anesa leaders in anghai are alarmed at the possibility of the early arrival of more Chinese troops and want to block the Yangtse Riv- CT saying it is becoming highway for the movement of Chinese troops, supplies and ammunitions.
 It is doubtful if the Japanese will abide by the request of four powers not to land endorsements in the International Settlement at Shanghai as the Chinese are too dangerous in other places.
 The movement of Japanese war ships now from near the Settle ment is also considered to be dan- gerous and would be difficult.

Passage of the Davis measure, now in Congress, amending the coastwise shipping laws would seri- ously affect the tourist traffic handled by Canadian owned and operated steamship lines. according to advices received by the Chamber of Commerce from Delegate Wick ersham. The Chamber recently directed it's Legislative Committee to investigate the effects of the bill and make some recommendation on the Chambers policy in regard to it.
 The Committee wired the Dele gate last Tuesdeay asking him the status of the bill and it's probable effect on Canadian vessels in these waters if it should be enacted.
 In replying, Judge Wickersham wired: Davis bill was favorably reported by the Committee and is strongly urged by eastern interests who are concerned with Atlantic traffic without reference to Alaska It is feared that passage of the bill would seriously affect tourist traffic on Canadian steamers and I am trying to induce it's sponsors to exclude Alaska from the opera tions of the bill"
