SENATORS SEEN
SET To BLOCK
D. c. SLASH
Bingham Committee to Hear
Commissioners Plea on
Cuts Made BY House

With the probability that
the Senate will deal more lib
orally with the Capital City
than the House bill proposes,
the Bingham subcommittee of
the Senate Appropriations
Committee will open hearings
this week on the District of
Columbia supply bill for the
next fiscal year.
The District Commissioners to-
day were preparing the Capitals
plea for a boost in the House
total and are to go before the
Senate subcommittee next Thurs
day.
100000 Cut Fought
The House bill has so slashed
the buget estimates that it is
claimed that mere maintenance
Of the municipal government for
the next year has been provided,
and that even the admitted neces-
sity for economy does not justify
the unprecedented cuts.
AS passed by the House April
IS, the District bill carries the
lowest total in several years. The
bill now before the Senate group
calls for only $39,913,810.
This is $5,797, 1923 below the ap-
preparations for the current fis-
cal year and is a cut Of slightly
more than $4,O00,000 in the esti-
mate approved by the Budget
Bureau.
Plea For Relief Fund
District estimates had been cut
already by the Commissioners and
the Budget Bureau, but the
House went all down the line
and slaShed even more deeply.
Funds for schools, street improve
ments, the sewer department and
other municipal activities have
all reached low levels.
A 100000 item, approved by
the White House, the Budget
Bureau, and the Commissioners,
for the relief of unemployment
and distress in the capital was
summarily thrown out by the
House. There will be concen-
trated efforts to restore it, among
others.

GAS CD. SESSION
POSTPONED
Times Staff Photo

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Washington Gas
Light Company was postponed to
May 18 shortly after it convened
today.
A few days ago the Public Utili-
ties Commission issued an order
requiring six foreign corporations
and trusts to divest themselves of
holdings in the company's stock.
These organizations were prohib-
tied from holding or voting such
stock.
The net effect of the order, it
was believed, would be to turn con-
troll Of the company over to the
minority stockholders. It was not
publicly announced today whether
the brief time since the order was
issued had proved ample for COM
pleting the task assigned by the
commission, but soon after the
stockholders met a motion for ad-
Journment was carried.

LAWYER CALLS
FORMER JUST
LITTLE PUNK
Both Accused of Wounding
Policeman Bacon at
Seventh and ( SITS.

Harry Yudelevit, on trial in
District Supreme Court for
the shooting of a policeman,
was characterized as "a little
punk" by Assistant United
States Attorney Julian 1.
Richards in his argument to
the jury as the case neared
its close today.
On trial Jointly with Yudelevit
is John Kendrick, accused of the
actual shooting, while Yudelevit is
accused Of holding a gun on an
other man who sought to go to
the policeman'S aid. Kendrick did
not take the stand in his defense.
Yudelevit did.
Bacon Shot Twice
The two men are charged with
assault with a dangerous weapon
and assault with intent to kill Po-
liceman Thomas D. Bacon near
Seventh and E SITS. N. w. last
February. Bacon was shot twice.
In his fiery argument for con-
viction,' Richards said:
these men are potential
murderers. They shot Bacon
because they knew they could
escape only over his dead body.
He was not the kind to stick
up his hands, as they de-
manded, but grabbed Kendrick
and held on even after he was
shot.
HE'S A LITTLE PUNK
''Yudelevit escaped-he was
yellow then as he is yellow now.
He's a menace to society, q pub
Lie enemy. He's a little punk, if
you want my characterization
Of him." -
Yudelevit squirmed in his seat
as the assistant District Attorney
spoke, and frequently muttered.
The jury probably will get the
case late today.

the mistake which deprived George
Kaufman and Moss Hart of the

MOVES To NIP

Smell Announces Backing by
Party As Barbour Leads
National Defense Bloc

The Republican House Or
ganization today took up arms
against the deep cuts made in
Army appropriations by the
Appropriations Committee.
Representative Smell of New
York, Republican leader, an
nounced that organization sup
port will be given to Representa-
tive Barbour (R0 of California, in
charge Of opposition to the bill.
The Army supply bill, as pre-
Sented to the House, carries $24,-
100000 less than the budget and
58,000,000 less than last year.
Friends of national defense assert
that efficiency of the Army would
be seriously crippled.
Flood Control Cut Urged
Smell said rivers and harbors
appropriations could be cut 10
per cent and the fund for Missis-
sippi River flood control also
could be slashed.
He criticized the committees
recommendation for suspension Of
citizens and officers military
training camps and reduction of
1000 officers in the Army.
representative Barbour said:
"The bill as presented un-
dOubtedIy is a serious blow to a
reasonable national defense.
DiscOntinuance of citizens mil
ltary training camps, reserve
officers training, dropping of
1000 officers, and other pro-
poSalS would prevent the main
tenance Of an adequate Army"
Opposition to the bill was en-
couraged by Gen. Douglas Mac.
Arthur, Chief Of the General
Staff. With the economy tide
running strongly in both branches
OF Congress, conferences were un-
der way to obtain a compromise
on many Of the proposals.
Mills, Brown Object
Senator Oddie (R) of Nevada
expected to ask the Senate to va
cate its mandate to the Appro-
priations Committee to apply q
rigid 10 per cent reduction in the
Treasury-P Postoffice bill.
With public building funds ex-
empted, the measure would have
to be cut more than $4,000, 900.
Both Secretary of the Treasury
Mills and Postmaster General
Brown objected to the reduction
on the ground that it would Grip
pie both departments and result
in dismissal of thousands of en-
ployeS.
Republicans in the House urged
the creation of a new economy
committee with membership di-
vided equally between Repub-
licans and Democrats in the hope
of repairing the damage done in
wrecking the $200,00O,OOO bill.

CHEER PARTY

= NEW YORK, Oct. 20 0N.S0.
Roosevelt leaders were rejoicing
today because former Alfred E.
Smith. in his first political
speech of the campaign at
Tammany Hall last night, urged
the election of Governor Roose-
welt and Speaker John N. Gar
ner, mentioning both by name.
Smith, of course, had been
expected to do this some time
In the campaign. He previously
showed he was over the bitter
ness engendered at the Chicago
; convention when he failed to
stop" Roosevelt. At the Demo
cratic State Convention in
/. Albany, he cast aside his aloof-
ness and shook hands with Gov
ernor Roosevelt.
b. Smith had this to say con-
cerning Roosevelt and Garner in
his speech last night:
II have been privileged in
the past, and from a Demo
cratic standpoint 1 think the
leaders of the party will ex-
tend to me the privilege Of
speaking on behalf of the rank
and file Of our great party in
this city, when 1 say that the
loyalty and devotion of the
great Democratic organization
Of this city will be exerted to
the last degree in favor Of the
election Of Roosevelt and Gar
