1 \ Americas Davis Cup tennis
stars are convinced they
can sweep to a decisive victory
over England in the interzone
finals starting in Roland GarroS
Stadium Friday, and thus advance
into the challenge round against
France next week.
Not only are Ellsworth Vines,
Wilmer Allison, George Lott and
John Van Ryn confident of vic
tory in the series, but they decline
to concede England a single tri-
umph in advance.
The shoulder injury Fred Perry suf-
fered last week when England defeated
Australia IN the European zone finals
and his present doubtful condition led
most experts to pick the United States
to win without particular trouble.

NEW YORK, February 4-Adoption
by many manufacturers Of a shorter
working week has proved thorn in the
side of the railroad industry and a
boon to competitors which can offer
lower-priced transportation service.
Railroad men report that systems Of
rotating labor to keep as many people
on the pay roll as possible has made
noticeable inroads in their commuta-
ton business This business is running
some Is per cent behind year ago.
Communication books in most cases
cost the same whether the passenger
makes "a round trips each month, or
only part of that number.
Consequently, it is pointed out, a
man who ordinarily made "a round
trips in normal times is paying the
same monthly transportation when,
working part time. he makes only 12
trips. AS a result many have taken to
new forms of transportation.
At Kearrey, N. j.. an electrical manu-
featuring center close to New York, it
is reported that part-time workers have
turned in large numbers to bus travel
Some workers pool the costs Of operat-

NAVY LEAGUE ROW
CAUSES 3 TO QUIT
Board Chairman Howe, Sec
retary Calvin and Clement
l. Bouve Resign.

A split developed today in the ranks
Of the Navy, League of the United

tors and leading spirit in the league
since the World War: William A. GAL

tional conditions, and Clement L.
Bouve, outstanding proponent Of ma
tiOnal defense. have resigned.
The cause for this action was not
Immediately clear, but it was indicated
that the trio Is out of sympathy with
the internal policy of the league
Reached at his home here today by
The Star, Mr.. Calvin confirmed a re-
port of the three designations. He de-
clined to reveal the exact nature of the
dissension.
Gardiner Affair Not Linked.
Mr.. Calvin asserted that the action
was not linked with the stand Of Will
liam Howard Gardiner, president Of the
league, who accused President Hoover
OF being "abysmally ignorant" of naval
affairs-a charge which brought on
presidential investigation. The board
OF directors approved the action of the
President Of the organization on that
occasion.
Mr. Calvin made his resignation
take effect January 81. He does not
retain membership in the league. From
other sources, it was learned that MI.
Gardiner construed Mr.. Galvin's resig-
nation as meaning that he would stay
on until a successor was appointed.
Mr.. Calvin preferred, however, to
make it immediate
His resignation was an aftermath OF
meeting OF the board of directors
January 20 and as an outgrowth of that
discussion Mr. Calvin said he con-
sidered it better in the interests of the
organization to resign so as not to en-
barrasS it. He would reveal only that
matter If internal policy Is con-
cerned, and that the broad detectives
OF the league, in having adequate ma
tional defense, are not at stake.
Is Years With League.
Mr.. Calvin had been with the Navy
League 13 years.. He is a native Of
Texas, attended the University of
Texas and during the World War went
overseas with the 40th Division. He is
now captain in the Reserves. Mr..
Calvin said that he is not at liberty
to tell what transpired at the leagues
executive meeting, but added that he
Is out OF sympathy with the action
taken.
Other designations from the league
have taken place recently, but Mr.. Gal
win explained that that of James w.
Wadsworth occurred before the meeting,
as he is to become a member of Con-
gress from New York State and heavy
demands will be made upon his time.
A similar reason is given for the resig-
nation of Henry Cabot Lodge, jr, who
is newly elected member Of the Mas
sachusetts Assembly Henry Brecken-
ridge. former Assistant Secretary of
War, resigned before the last annual
meeting, Mr.. Calvin asserted.

USES ASKED BY D. c.
FOR EXTRA GAS TAX
Recommendation to Con-
gress Would Help Bridges,
Lights and Other Costs.

The District Commissioners today
recommended to the Senate District
Committee that the additional revenue
to be raised by the 1-cent increase in
the gasoline tax recently approved by
the committee be used to meet several
items Of municipal expense which are
now provided for out Of general rev.
enues Of the city.
The effect of the recommendation
would be to transfer from the general
revenues to the gasoline tax fund the
cost Of construction and repair Of
bridges. installation of trafic lights, all
other expenses of the department OF
vehicles and trafhc. salaries Of employees
in the street and bridge division Of the
highway department and Of those
policemen assigned to the Traffic Bu-
reau of the Police Department.
The Commissioners also recommend
that the salaries of crossing policemen,
which are now borrie by the street rail-
way company, be made a charge against
the revenue collected from gasoline
users If the street railway merger,
recently authorized by Congress, Is
accepted by the companies. The con-
greSsional terms of merger would relieve
the car companies of paying the SAL
aries of these crossing policemen If the
lines consolidate.
Park Roads Upkeep.
When the Senate Committee decided.
about 10 days ago. to report out bill
increasing the gasoline tax from to 3
cents a gallon, the only new item Of
expense they placed on the gas fund
was the upkeep of roads in the parks
Of the city. Under the present law the
gasoline tax can be used only for street
and highway improvement and repair
While the Senate Committee has
approved a 1-cent increase, it has not
yet filed its report with the Senate, and
the Commissioners ask that these
further changes be made before it is
reported The Senate bill is modifica-
tion of one of the Mapes bills by which
the House voted to make the local
gasoline tax cents gallon.

derfer was accompanied by statement

With Europeans.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Government today undertook an
investigation of William c. Bullitt's
activities in foreign capitals, which
have been alleged in some quarters to
relate to war debt settlements.
The move followed Immediately on
receipt at the State Department Of a
letter from Senator Robinson, Republic
an, of Indiana. formally requesting such
action.
In the Senate, Robinson had directed
attention to reports Of Bullitt being en-
route to Vienna after being reported
in London, Paris and Berlin to have
been conferring as secret emissary"
of some one in this country.
Suggests Prosecution.
He suggested prosecution Of the one
time State Department attache and
former newspaper man under the Logan
act, passed in 1899, which prohibits
American citizens from conducting un-
authorized discussions with foreign
governments.
The legal division of the State De-
partment got busy with messages abroad
and results of the inquiry were being
avail ~ :.day at the Capitol. Promi-
nent Democrats there have denied re-
ports that Bullitt was representing
Pres!dent-elect Roosevelt abroad.
The L gan act provides nne OF
$4,000 nd three years in prison for
violations.
George Washington's Secretary Of
State, Timothy j. Pickering. was instru-
mental in having Congress pass the act
in 1899 to prevent DR.. George Logan, a
Philadelphia Quaker, from carrying on
pacific negotiations with France after
the United States had severed relations
with that government in 1898. Picker
ing himself violated the act after he
was out of office, but no attempt was
made to punish him.
DR.. Logan paid no attention to the
act and kept up his activities for years.
He was later elected to the United
States Senate from Pennsylvania.
Letter to Stimson.
The letter sent by Robinson to Sec
retary Stimson follows:
According to press dispatches, one
William C. Bullitt is in Europe going
from capital to capital, claiming to be
a representative of the Hon. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, President-elect Of the
United States.
He is reported to have held con.
versations with prominent officials Of
the French and British governments,
looking to revision. reduction or can
collation. of the Indebtedness due from
those countries to the United States,
Notwithstanding the fact the American
Congress has decided definitely that
said Indebtedness shall not be reduced
or cancelled.
"Mr. Roosevelt has stated that Mr.
Bullitt does not represent him in this
capacity, and I assume he holds no
credentials from the Government of
the United States.
Under these circumstances, I re-
spectfully urge that his activities be
investigated, and if the alleged facts
be corroborated that he be apprehended
and prosecuted under section of the
Logan act.
1.-THE activities Of this man, as re-
ported. are extremely harmful to the
best interests of the people of the
United States and in utter defiance Of
the Congress and its enactments."
