whose names were not disclosed
have been requested to appear to-
morrow afternoon at a meeting Of
the Senate District Subcommittee
authorized to conduct an investi-
cation of alleged "exorbitant
rentals" in Washington.
1t was officially indicated today

the Senate Subcommittee has au-
thority to compel them to testify
later on.
However, it was believed today,
the investigating committees
meeting tomorrow will bring out
a representative attendance of
landlords and real estate agents
who will want to present their
side of the rental controversy.
1t was predicted today that to-
morrow's meeting of the subcom-

CONGRESS WILL
GET URGENCY
AID PLEA .
Relief Funds on Hand Only
May Last Two Months,
Welfare Board Ayers

With the expectation that
appeals for relief will increase
materially in the winter
months, the Board of Public
Welfare is planning to request
an emergency relief appropri-
alton as soon as Congress con-
venes in December, it was
learned today.
Although the board ordered
yesterday that the monthly ex-
penditures of it's emergency re-
lief division, charged with the
administration of the $350,000
fund appropriated by Congress
for District unemployment relief,
shall be limited to $4,000, this
provision is made only for this
month and next month.
The two-month provision allows
for the anticipated added num-
ber of relief requests when the
cold months set in, according to
Leroy A. Halbert, supervision of
the division.
Spending More Now
Despite Mr.. Halbert's recent die
tum for 40 per cent reduction
in the amount of relief, the COM
mittee expended 9,358.48 during
the first five weeks since admins
tration of the fund began.
The work relief pay roll
amounted to $33,314.43; cash re-
lief, $1,929.01; expenditures for
groceries, milk, rent and other
emergency provisions, $19,118.83; ;
administrative expenses, $4,634.45.
Many Cases Aided
OF the 7,749 persons who have
come to the division for relief, T.
436 cases have been aided, while
695 were rejected. A total of l.
383 cases given aid were trans
ferred from other relief agencies
and 81 were awaiting action at
the close of business yesterday.

Of SIBERIA
GET MEDALS

Officers and. men who entered
the Navy or Marine Corps after
November II, 1918, Armistice
Day, and who were attached to
the American Expeditionary Forces
in European Russia or in Siberia
between that date and March 8,
1921, will henceforth be eligible
for the award of the Victory
Medal, according to announce
ment by the Secretary of the
Navy.
This extension of the period Of
service by which the medal can
be won was brought about largely
through the efforts of Herman
H. Diers, of the 100 block Rhode
Island Ave. N. E., a employe of
the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads.
Mr.. Diers served aboard the U.
S. S. Albany at Vladivostok,
Siberia, during 1919 and 1920, as
seaman, second class, and has
since 1924 advocated a medal for
men who served in Russia or
Siberia.

Gambrill, of Maryland, presented
his suggestion to the Secretary
of the Navy, and eligibility. for
award of the medal to veterans
of the Russian and Siberian cam

CHAMBER SCANS
INSURANCE
INCREASE
Committee DeIving Into rs
Per Cent Boost in
Industrial Rate

Possibility of the existence
of a compensation insurance
racket in the District is be-
ing investigated by a fact-find-
committee of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce.
The group, headed by Walter c.
Balderston is concerned with
studying facts behind the 26.9 per
cent boost in premium rates re-
Gently imposed by industrial in
surance companies.
Although local statistics for
1881 are not yet available, testi-
mony has been received by the
group which supports contentious
of insurance companies that med
ical and other costs have mounted
rapidly in the past two years, de.
spite the fact that the number OF
persons employed and the number
suffering from accidents or i'll
ne-5 were lower than in the boom
period.
OCEAt dSAOuS NA0SAA&
Studies are to be made of fees
charged by physicians giving
treatment and of hospital costs.
In the investigations made by in
suring company representatives
which led to the boosting of rates,
suspicious were aroused that "am
bulance chasing" in a new form
has been developed to a science.
Insurance companies providing
this form of insurance, it Is
claimed, have sustained annual
losses running into millions.
Fear of loss of jobs, reduced
wages which often do not equal
the benefits paid for compensa-
ton for injuries and other factors,
it is intimated, influence the vic
tim to listen to reason" which
has market effect on the length
of time required before the pa
tient is again ready to go back to
his job.
Not Retroactive
Since the group began its
studies the insurance companies
have decided that the boost locally
will not be retroactive as was at
first announced.
This decision, according to Dor
sey w. Hyde, jr., secretary of the
Washington Chamber of Com.
merce, will result in a saving of
between 100000 and 100000 to
National Capital employees the
coming year.
