RELIEF BILL IS
 BACK IN HOUSE
 FOR LAST MOVE

: Washington, June 24.-(UP)- The two billion dollars unemploy- ment program switched back to the house today, with progressives or ganizing to forestall presidential veto after adjournment.
 The $2,30O, 100000 relief bill passed by the senate late yesterday was to be formally received and reflected by the house at noon. Speaker Garner then was ready to appoint conferees for the work of adjusting the senate bill with his own $2,291, 100000 relief program adopted by the house on June 8.
 Possibility of a veto lies in the fact that the bill in its final form Is certain to include a federal bond issue for public works, Q proposal which President Hoover has re- peatedly and firmly opposed. The senate bill provides a $600,000.O0O bond issue and under the Garner program the government would borrow $1.191,000,000.
 If congress passed the bill in final form. cleaned up it's other work and adjourned next week, MT Hoover conceivably might kill the relief program simply Dy ueCHh- ing to sign It. pocket veto"
 Representative LaGuardia, re- publican, N. Y., insurgent leader, claimed, however, that he had suf- ficient votes lined up to prevent ad- tournment before the president acts on the bill. If Mir Hoover then disapproved the measure. con- gress would be in position to en- act 1t over his veto. A.
 Senate leaders hoped to obtain final approval of the s150.000.0o0 federal economy bill today. al- though controversies developed over two provisions.
 As soon as the economy biii IS acted upon. the senate Is scheduled to take up the Hawes-Cutting bill under which the Philippine Islands would be granted Independence in 19 years.

CASTOR MEANS
SHUNS COURT,
LOSES BOND
Witnesses Prove Lee SomerS,
Reporter, Was Not Guilty
of Any Disorder

CASTOR B. Means, former
Department of Justice agent,
forfeited $65 today in Police
Court when he failed to ap-
pear to answer charges of as
sault, intoxication and dis
orderly conduct.
Means was charged with as
saulting Lee Somers, Washington
Times reporter, in Schulte's cigar
store at Fourteenth and F Streets
Northwest, yesterday afternoon.
Somers, who had gone to the
store with Means, said the man
assaulted him after demanding
his credentials.
SOmers Not Disorderly
Somers, who had posted S. col
lateral bond on a disorderly con-
duct charge and as a result Of
the affair, was acquitted before
Judge John T. Mcmahon, who
declared after hearing several
witnesses that there was no evil
dence of disorder on SomerS'
part.
Means was to have appeared
before Judge Gus A. Schuldt in
another branch Of the court and
when he failed to show up Assist
ant United States Attorney
Michael F. Keogh recommended
that the forfeiture be allowed to
stand without issuance of an at
tachment.
Made Appointment
The former agent Of the De-
partment Of Justice yesterday
asked The Times to have a re-
porter meet him at the Willard
Hotel. Somers was assigned to
the interview, and found Means
just as he was entering a cigar
store at Fourteenth and F Streets
Northwest.
Means, who said later that he
thought Somers was an agent of
the Department of Justice, be-
came exceedingly truculent, &C
cording to SomerS, who told him
that if he had no story for The
Times he would return to his Of
flee. Means thereupon detained
him and called for the police.
H. H. Hartman, traffic officer
at the corner, had both Means
and SomerS taken to Precinct No.
l, where the reporter was released
on payment of S. collateral on a
charge Of disorderly conduct.
charges Of drunkenness and as
sault were placed against Means,
who was released later on bail.

Danger of flood conditions
along the Potomac was held
unlikely this afternoon when
Weather Bureau officials in
Dictated that waters of the
upper Potomac were recedlng.
Northwesterly winds were also
considered favorable by Capt. E.
N. Chisholm, jr., chief engineer
of the National Capital Park ana
Planning Commission.
The danger point of floods IN
washington lies between Airing
ton Memorial Bridge and the
John Ericsson Memorial.
Would Lessen Danger
At this point the river runs al
most due north and south, he
pointed out. Any northerly wind
quickens the movement of water
past the flood area and lessons
the danger of the waters flowing
over the seawall into the Lincoln
Memorial grounds.
Floods Hotel Basement
Washington's precipitation OF
1.84 inches late last night was
the highest in the country. The
high water mark was two feet
below the top of the sea wall.
Bladensburg Road, for the Sec
ond time this season, was flooded
today by a foot of water running
over the banks Of Eastern
Branch. Traffic on the Baltimore
boulevard and the Defense high"
way was slowed UP by flood con-
ditions.
A plugged drainage sewer
caused water to back into the
basement of the Cairo Hotel to
a depth of three feet. A reserve
engine company was detailed
from the Fire Department to
pump the water out.

New Audiences
The hardest job in launching a theater is not to

ences and the latest theaer heraded by the three talents

know that in the man and nb n9S t es

people put up ten dollars EACH for which these people
will receive not only tickets to five productions but the
right to vote upon these productions to whether they
should be continued abandoned a<gs
Righteous Judges
The psychology is admirable. The subscriber, having
already narted with his money will be just critical
enough of the directors dispute their choice OF plays
and just interested enough Tin the prospect OF one
five-thousandth part of the profits) to want play
continued. Every of them will see the play in its
first and decisive week; the critics (he professional
wretches from the newspapers) will not be asked until
the vote taken the general public will be kept
out by solid bars and plush ropes across the tneater
DOORS The subscribers will be an exclusive BODY OF
Judges ready to hang with rope to hang garands of
praise.
What Really Costs
Putting forth the idea (Which he ascrbes to Mr. Ros
ing) Mr. Taylor who has experience as composer and
critic told the simple truth that often costs to
take off play than to put it on. Two weeks salary
must be paid to actors in any the house, II kept
open has fixed charges. Perhaps by having perma-
nent company and a house which be closed the
moment the subscribers put their thumbs in an unfaVor
noical and really put on five plays for fifty thousand
doars-which is nearly enough for the production OF
one play by our more high-flyng professionals.
