R. F. c. DEFENDED
ON RELIEF POLICY
Senator Pittman's Criticism
Declared Unjustitied by
Dr.. John O'Grady.

Criticism of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation policy on unem-
ployment relief by Senator Pittman,
DemocIa at, of Nevada, yesterday brought
a sharp rejoinder from Rev. DR.. John
O'Grady secretary of the National Con-
ference of Catholic Charities in state
ment which also took to task States
which. DR. OGrady contends, have not
done their share in relieving distress.
Dr. OGrady said, Senator Pittman
apparently wants the Finance Corpora
tion to dole cut money indiscriminately
to the States
He added that after Pennsylvania s
application had been rejected "the Legis-
lature of that State, which had been
playing politics with relief in the hope
Of passing the burden to Washington,
Immediately adopted a $4,000 900 re-
lief program and thus demonstrated to
the country that Pennsylvania was not
yet bankrupt"
Many cities and counties have
but the States have scarcely tapped their
resources" he continued.
1T is not popular for Governors and
Legislatures to impose additional taxes
upon their people. Relief, however, is
basically local and State RESPONSE
bility Only after the resources of local
communities and States are exhausted
should recourse be had to the Federal
Government. Easy Federal relief is the
surest means Of undermining local and
State responsibility. Eventually, this
would mean the end of private relief"
The Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton, DR.. O'Grady said. is maintaining
"a fair balance between local and ma
tional responsibility for the relief Of
distress"

HACKERS AWAIT
LICENSE RULE

A knotty legal question was
presented to Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel William A. Roberts
today by the Public Utilities
Commission, concerning licenses
of hackers and taXicabS.
On July l, when the new
licenses law went into effect
raising the price of public We
hicle licenses from SO to $25 and
hackers licenses from 81 to S.,
Superintendent of Licenses Wade
Coombs issued so of the new
vehicle licenses at the old price
of SO and 20 drivers licenses at
the 81 fee.
At 10 a. m. on the same day
he was instructed by the District
Commissioners not to issue any
more licenses until the new
license law was signed by Presi-
dent Hoover. This was not &C.
complished until $40 of the
same day.
Mr.. Roberts has been asked to
decide whether the signing of
the bill in the late afternoon of
July l gave the District the right
to collect the difference between
the new and the old fees from
the hackers who we're fortunate
enough to obtain them before 10
a. m. Ten of the hackers have
already paid the difference be-
tween the fees.

Rum Boat 7 ip
All Wet in
Water

Eagle-eyed policemen of the
liquor squad yesterday looked
with suspicion at a power boat
preparing to dock near Key
Bridge.
The squad had received
tip that the boat under sur
veillance had been tying up
at a Georgetown wharf where
it was met by a truck.
Large tin containers were
carried from the boat to the
truck, the tipster averred, and
it looked to the squad as if
that meant just one thing.
At a signal, squad members
SWooped down on the wharf.
Tehy grabbed the men with
the tin cans.
They were employees of the
District Health Department
and were carrying samples of
water which men on the boat
had obtained from various
points in the harbor to be
tested for pollution, a pro
cedure which is followed at
frequent intervals.
The squad left to seek other
fields to conquer.

To STAY awake.
.. COUNT STARS

In case you cannot get to sleep
until after midnight tonight, don't
start counting sheep. Run up on
the roof, climb a flagpole or lie
in the middle of the street-and
count stars. 1t costs nothing,
and star fanciers seem to think
) it fun or something.
Each August the earth passes
through a veil composed of dust
and stones which continually
circle around the sun. When the
stones enter the earth's atmos-
phere the air friction causes them
to burn with flash of light.
Most of these stones are COM
pletely consumed before they
reach the surface of the earth,
but occasionally large ones fall
as meteorites. The shower of
> shooting stars will be visible to-
night in the northeastern sky,
then for another year they will
not be seen again.
