Asked by news men if Ford conforms

get the Blue Eagle emblem, johnson
replied he could not, nor could Ford
put in separate code.
Asked for his reaction if Ford should
exceed the regular code in the mar

that that would not be compliance,
and added:
The only way you can get people
to act together is to get them to agree
to act together 1t does not make any
difference what is done by an indi-

BENN|NG SITE
IS SELECTED
FOR DUMP
Sanitary Engineer Picks Spot
South of Old Race Track;
Hotels Face Problem

Selection of a site on the east
side of the Anacostia River just
south of the Old Benning race
track for the disposal of surplus
District trash was recommended
to the District Commissioners to-
day by John B. Gordon, sanitary
engineer.
The site is one of several sug-
gested by Major J. D. Arthur, Dis
trict enginee~, and will have to
be approved by him after the
Commissioners pass upon it.
Selection of the dump was
necessitated by the closing Of the
new District incinerator in South
east Washington. This plant will
close tomorrow because of lack of
funds, leaving only the George
town incinerator in operation.
The dump under consideration,
Mr.. Gordon said, would take care
of surplus District trash and refuse
from Federal buildings. Private
concerns, such as large hotels
which have been hauling their
refuse to the District incinerator
in private trucks, will have to
make other arrangements, Mr..
Gordon said, as this trash cannot
be disposed of at either the pro-
posed Benning dump or at the
GEORGETOWN incinerator.

A slash of $1O,OOO,0oo in Dis

rate within year is contemplated
by Representative Thomas l..
Blanton CD of Texas, an active
member of the House Appropria-
tions Subcommittee for the Dis
trict, declared today.
Blanton'S hands, unusually dett
when welding the retrenchment
knife, would direct the pruning
blade against alleged graft, waste,
duplication, and excess personnel
to make the cut in annual ex'
penditures.
Favors the Reverse
Necessary public works, includ.
ing schools and hospitals, would
not suffer in Blanton's economy
program, but actually, he said, he
favored the reverse of such a
policy.
With sweeping curtailment Of
expenditures Of administration,
Blanton said the money saved
would go to essential public
projects.
Discussing the reduction, Blan-
ton said:
Graft, waste, duplication and
excess personnel must be elimi.
mated. BY graft 1 mean the
appointment of $1,5OO clerks to
$4,000, $4,000 and $4,000 jobs,
junkets and other unnecessary
expenditures.
TAXES SHOULD DROP
INSTEAD of having large de-
partmentS carry out minor
problems in city administration,
a few clerks could handle the
work in many instances at a
great saving to taxpayers. Taxes
should be reduced and should
be reduced at least rs cents
more
Blanton was highly instru-
mental in forcing the reduction
of 20 cents in the prevailing tax
rate of $1.70 per $100, which will
be effective after July l.
Discussing the necessity of ad.
ditional educational and hospital
facilities, Blanton said he would
make a survey next fall and If
he observed lack of necessary
buildings, he would take the prob.
lem before the appropriations sub
committee when the next supply
bill is under consideration.

Civilization is on the rocks and
unless there are drastic changes

C. A. Tubby, now holding a series

Recalling conditions prevailing
in the days of Noah before the

warned his audience that the
world might expect a similar
catastrophe. He said:
"Crime ar vice are rampant.
