Federal Building Program
Hits Avenue Shops

The Federal building program
and Speaker of the House John
N. Garner aren't so popular these
days among merchants on lower
Pennsylvania Avenue northwest.
Business was bad enough, say
Shopkeepers on the avenue from
First to Third Streets, until the
building program virtually isola-
ted them and reduced what busi-
ness there was almost to nothing.
Then, too, the Government was
to take over properties in the
First and Third Streets and Penn
sylvania and Constitution avenues
area for extension of the Capitol
grounds. The shopkeepers say
Speaker Garner blocked a $780,
900 deficiency appropriation for
this at the current session of Con-
gress, therefore his unpopularity.
For Is years, genial Patrick
White has conducted a restaurant
across from the Peace Monument.
Business in recent years he said,
grew steadily worse but with the
razing of buildings for the NUM-
cipal Center from Third to Fourth
Streets, he and his fellow mer-
chants are isolated from the rest
Of the Avenue.

VALUE Of 1884
DOLLAR DROPS

Fame came yesterday to Carl
Soaring, the 600 block of Eleventh
Street Northwest.
Saturday night Carl found an
1884 silver dollar in his pay en-.
velope which a coin collector
told him was worth 5000.
A story to that effect in yester-
days papers brought fame to Carl
and telephone calls by the dozens
to the pharmacy where he works.
Everyone, it seems, in Washing
ton has a silver dollar of that
year which they are very willing
to sell for 5000.
So far Carl has received one
bid Of $40 for the coin but the
5000, he laments, has not been
forthcoming.
Carps boss, since this morning,
has been telling visitors that Carl
has gone to Florida. And that
he has taken his coin with him.
The Standard Coin Book sets
the value of the trade dollar, -
coined in 1884, at from $175 to
5000. Trade dollars" coined
from 1873. to 1888 are valued
from $40 to SIS.

D, c, RELIEF BILL
MEETS DELAY

The $625,O0O emergency relief
item contained in the first
deficiency appropriation bill was
delayed in its passage today
largely through the efforts of
Senator Huey P. Long CD of
Louisiana. He was not attempt
ing to oppose the District item
but was fighting action on the
Glass banking bill.
According to schedule, the de-
ficiency bill was to have been
taken up when the Senate con-
Vened at noon and was expected
to pass before 2 o'clock when
debate was resumed on the Glass
bill.
Long, however, opposed to the
banking bill, sought by delaying
the deficiency bill to force the
Senate to lay aside the Glass
measure.
Senator Charles L. McNary
(RD of Oregon, assistant Repub-
hcan floor leader, said he hopes
to, take the deficiency bill up
at the earliest possible date.

CITIZENS To GET.
RELIEF PLANS

Two plans to meet the emer.
gency relief problem in Washing
ton, through cooperation of the
Federal and District govern
mentS, were to be presented to
the Federation of Citizens ASso-
Citations for consideration today.
The recommendations, Endorsed
last night by the Stanton Park
Citizens Association, were made
by A. H. Gregory, a delegate to
the federation from the Stanton
Park group.
One plan provides for the oper-
alton of all District and Federal
owned parking lots by a relief
agency, with all the proceeds to
be devoted to relief work. This
would require that the govern
ment abrogate or refuse to renew
leases with concessionaireS and
turn the lots over to the agency
gratis.
Under the other plan, tempo.
rary buildings in the Mall area
would be turned over to the Board
of Public Welfare to be used for
housing purposes.
These buildings, which are to
be razed soon. should not be torn
down when people who are home.
less could use them to better ad-
vantage, the sponsor pointed out,
The parking concession plan
would net from 5000 to $500 a
month for relief, Gregory said.

.PEPCO D|CKERS
ON NEW RATE
SLASHES
Asks Restoration of Consent
Decree of 1924 to
Justify Cuts

The Potomac Electric Power
Company today informed the Pub
lie Utilities Commission that it
stood ready to order 1888 reduc.
ton of electric rates if the COM
mission would agree to a revival
of the 1924 equity court consent
decree.
The company's answer was con-
tanned in letter written by vii.
liam F. Ham, president. in re-
sponse to the commissions recent
request for a voluntary reduction
in rates.
Under the 1924 consent decree,
rates were set at an annual public
hearing. The commission scrapped
this decree last year and was up
held by Justice Oscar LuhrIng IN
District Supreme Court in setting
up a new sliding scale for rate
reductions, which cut down the
company'S returns.
Offers Compromise
The company in it's letter
stated it stood ready to split the
difference between the scales in
the original decree and the scale
set up by the commission, which
is now pending in the Court Of
Appeals
During the 10-month period
ending November 80, the letter
stated, present rates have brought
about a reduction of $69,923 in
net operating income while De-
cember figures show a loss of
$41,O0O. The letter continues:
Nevertheless; the company
stands ready to cooperate now,
has it has in the past, and
makes the suggestion that since
the method used by the COM
mission in determining the
amount by which rates were
reduced a year ago is, in prin.
Ciple, again proposed by the
commission and seems to offer
satisfactory solution to our
common problems that the
commission and the company
join in a request to the court
that the formula now proposed
by the commission reflecting
this procedure be written into
the original consent decree and.
that the consent decree SO mod
flied be continued in effect.
PLEAS PONDERED
"Under these circumstances
we will be glad to make a re-
ductiOn effective under the new
formula to be substituted in
the old consent decree and the
company will be glad to submit
promptly to the commission .
new schedule of rates reflect
ing such reductions"
Commissioner Riley E. ETgen
stated that the letter of the
company would be given careful
consideration by the commission.

However, Debate Will Be
Resumed Thursday

Although the Black beer bill
will be taken up again tomorrow
by the House District Committee,
it is expected to be shunted back
Immediately to the judiciary sub
committee so that hearings sched-
uled for Thursday can proceed
without interruption.
The measure was referred to
the judiciary Committee last
Wednesday over objections Of
Representative Wright Patman
CD Sof Texas, who insisted 1t
should be taken up by the fiscal
affairs subcommittee.
Patman has continued his OBJ
jectionS. with the result that Rep
representative Mary T. Mormon,
Democratic chairman, has con.
sented to again call the bill to
the attention Of the whole com
mittee.
Patman declares there was no
quorum at the last meeting and
that his motion to refer the bill
to the fiscal affairs subcommittee
was not voted on, but it is gener-
ally believed among a majority Of
the members of the. District Com
mittee that his insistence on
bringing the measure back is moth

It was understood that enough
members of the committee who
favors the bill will be present at

FOR FOREIGN
GASOLINE
Motor Fuel From Abroad Is
Sold As U. S. Product,
Rep. Carter Says

Because he says he has discov-
cred that "here in the Nations
Capital vendors of ioreign gaso-
line use the national colors of
this country to advertise a for
eign product" Representative
Vincent Carter Of wyoming has
drafted a gas bill which will
make it necessary for gas sta
tions all over the country to dis
play conspicuous signs announc-
ing whether the gasoline dis
pensed is American or foreign"
MOtOrist Kept in Dark
In further commenting upon
the bill which he wants the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee to consider, Representative
Carter said:
"The American autOiSt has
no way Of knowing whether
his gasoline purchases are help
ing to bring back or helping
to retard American prosperity"
The Western Representative
pointed out that American pro-
duced gasoline costs the con-
sumer no more than foreign gaso-
line. He claims that all the ad-
vantages of the lower cost are
absorbed by importers and dis
tributors and that none Of the
profits are passed on to the
ultimate consumer. Continuing,
he said:
"There is n. reason why the
American gasoline trade, which
constitutes nearly three-fOurthS
of the world trade in gasoline,
should be turned over to for
eigners or to oil importing COM
panieS for the impOveriShment
of millions of Americans"
\ Many Robbed Of Work
Almost half the States of the
Union are oil-producing States,
Representative Carter asserted.
He sees American workers thrown
out of employment and robbed
of their power to purchase prod
uctS of American factories be-
cause untold millions of dollars
are diverted from this country
through the widespread sale Of
foreign petroleum products-most
of them sold under the colorS
of the good old u. S. A.
