LOCAL RED CROSS
WINS FIRST HONOR
Leads All Chapters in Enroll.
ing Largest Percentage
of Members.

For the second consecutive year the
District of Columbia has led all Red
Cross chapters of the country in en-
rolling the largest percentage of men,
berS during the year, its nearest COM
petitor being the State of Montana.
Further honors were extended to the
District when the convention, rescind-
ing a resolution adopted last year, voted
to hold its 1888 convention again in
Washington.
The flag awarded annually in mem
bership competition was presented to
the District chapter at the closing SeS-
sion Of the annual convention today, a
few minutes after the national body
had voted to set a goal of 10000, 900
members in its 1892 enrolment drive.
Mrs. John A. Johnston, roll call chair
man of the District chapter, received
the flag from Douglas Greiesemer, ma
tional director of the roll call. The
local chapter won the competition with
7,65 per cent of the population of the
District enrolled. Mrs. Johnston an
nounced that 1000 new members en-
rolled through the industrial division
enabled the District chapter to recap
ture the flag this year.
Kentuckians Take Honors.
Similar honors among the Junior
Red Cross went to the State of Ken
tucky, unrepresented as it was by a
delegate to the Junior convention.
Walter S. Gard, acting national direc-
tor Of the Juniors, aroused cheers
when he said the Kentuckians had
spent all their money for soup and
food in relieving distress, and couldn't
afford railway fare to send a delegate
to Washington.
Last year the convention voted to
have the 1898 convention in st. Louis,
Mo, and the 1884 convention in San
Francisco. The resolution adopted to-
day rescinds this action. Only one
vote, voiced by James T. Nicholson,
manager of the Chicago district, op-
posed it. Mr.. Nicholson had fought
hard In the committee to have the
convention meet in Chicago next year
during its world fair.
The States closest to the District
during last years membership enroll
ment were Montana, with percent
age of 7.33: New Hampshire, with 6.33;
North Dakota, 5.99; Alaska, 576, and
Vermont, $50.
Large Demands Stressed.
The action taken by the convention
IN voting 1O,UOo,UuU CAl OlliilChb SoaA
for the coming year was in response to
appeals made yesterday by national Of
ficers, who stressed the continuous re-
lief demands being made on the or
ganization beyond the capacity OF its
A, 100000 enrolment.
The convention also adopted a reso-
luton to extend the program of service
represented by the Junior Red Cross.
In view of the increased demands for
relief and the difficulties presented in
the existing economic situation, the
convention stressed the need of each
community to build up its chapter bud
get for the fiscal year beginning July
/. The membership drive will extend
from Armistice day, November IL, to

Of homes in the northeast, southeast and

Police said the youths operated in two
groups, one playing tag in the street
while the others broke into a house
At the approach of policeman. it was
said, those on the outside would yell

building.
AS a further precaution against de-
lection, 1t was said, the boys always
perpetrated their robberieS while the
police were changing shifts.

additional pay for their work. but have
certain very grave responsibilities in
connection with their duties on the
commission. People in the States where
the activities of the Army engineers
are matters of daily knowledge have
learned to respect the judgment of the
Engineer Corps and have learned that
their decisions are not dependent upon
local politics. and that their work is
done in a highly efficient manner.
Naturally they are loathe to see the
duties of the Army engineers trans
ferred to department of the Govern
ment which has for decades frequently,
if not usually. been under a distin--
the President Of the United States. 1t
this transfer would eventually result in
greatly increased cost. At the same
time it is quite evident that it would
seem to be entirely logical to place the
construction of an the various public
works Of the Government under one
official. Indeed, that was recommended
in the economy bill when it come out
of the Senate Economy Committee in
the last session of Congress.
No Economy Involved.
ut is suggested in the new proposal
that a merchant marine division be
established in the Department Of Com
merce and that it include the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, the Bureau of Navi-
cation, Steamboat Inspection and the
Bureau of Lighthouses, all of which are
now in the Department of Commerce,
to which would be added the Hydro
graphic Office of the Navy Department,
the Naval Observatory of the Navy De-
partment, the United States Shipping
Board. Emergency Fleet Corporation
and the Inland waterways Corporation
Of the War Department. Certainly all
of these changes are in line with eff
cient administration. even though there
is no economy involved in the transfer
and a certain amount of additional ex-
pense might be incurred during the
first year. There is, however, serious
difficulty involved in regard to the In
land Waterways Corporation. The in
corporator is the Secretary of War, the
chairman of the board is major gen.
eral on the active list of the Army, and
it is a little difficult to see how they
would fit in to the Department of Com
merce.
'The great Independent Offices and
commissions where the commissioners
Evening star., 1932-12-20

receive large salaries and perform q
variety of administrative and semi
judicial functions are not touched in
the proposal Of the President. The In
terstate Commerce Commission, the
Federal Trade Commission. the Fed
eral Radio Commission, the Federal Re-
serve Board, the Tariff Commission, the
Federal Farm Board and the United
States Shipping Board are among those
commissions whose duties and salaries
remain as they are.
1T is unfortunate that, owing to the
legislative situation, the present pro-
posal for reorganization and regroup-
ing could have not come from the
President during the early part of his
administration, rather than just as he
Is leaving Office.
whether or not the American peo-
pie are seriously benefited by most of
the proposals now being considered in
the Congress is not so easy to deter
mine. I am told by one Of the leading
financial experts in the Government
that the cost of carrying out the vari-
GUS proposals will exceed any possible
savings, certainly during the first year,
by possibly a million dollars. And that
does not take into consideration the
loss OF interest and good will now re-
celVed by the Government from men,
bers of a considerable number of COM
missions. members who receive no sal
ary and only have the satisfaction of
seeing the work well done. Perhaps the
Congress was wrong in establishing
those little honorary commissions which
consist sometimes Of distinguished citi-
zenS and other times Of Government
officials. Be that as 1t may the big
problem still remains as to whether the
administrative duties concerned with
semi judicial boards, like the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the Federal
Trade Commission, the Federal Radio
Commission and others in that cate
CORY, might not better be transferred
to definite members of the Cabinet, the
boards reduced in size and restricted to
judicial rather t,1an administrative
functions That would effect real econ
omies, but it is still in the future"
