Measure Considered at Last
Session Indorsed for
Reintroduction.
VALUE IS MENTIONED
ONLY IN AMENDMENT
Proposal of Late Senator Howell
Was for Washington and
Georgetown Agreement.

Enactment Of a measure permitting
the merger Of the Washington Gas
Light Co. and the Georgetown Gas
Light Co. was asked in a communica-
tion addressed today by the Public
Utilities Commission to Vice President
Garner and Speaker Rainey.
The commission indorsed the reintro-
duction of the merger legislation, which
was considered at the last session OF
Congress. The measure was passed by
the House, but the Senate did not reach
final action on the bill.
Common Ownership.
The two local gas companies are In
common ownership, and it Is believed
certain economies in administration
and operation could be effected through
merger Of the two companies. The COM
mission had inGorse6 the merger bill
considered by the last session OF
Congress.
The merger bill contains no state
ment of value of the properties of the
two firms. An amendment introduced
in the Senate, however, did touch on
tI1e UldtUtT. Ills WCo Ny
Senator Howell, who since has died.
This provided for an agreement by the
two gas companies. in merging under
the proposed legislation, that they
should waive any claim to going con-
Germ value in valuation Of the
company.
Taxicab Ads Not Approved.
The commission at its session today
declined to approve an application to
permit operators Of taxicabs to display
advertising matter or devices in their
machines. The action was taken in re-
jecting an application submitted by
]. H. Roger, jr., an official of the
Premier Taxicab Association.
The commission also decided that
hereafter monthly reports on operation
of taxicabs would be required only
from organizations operating a fleet of
10 or more cabs. Such reports concern
income and expenses of taxicabs. This
move was designed to lessen the amount
of accounting work Of the commission.

Deficiency Subcommittee Ex-
pected to Take Up
Lump Sum Issue.
BUDGET BUREAU PLANS
TO SUBMIT NEW TOTAL S
Estimates Also Will Be Revised on
Bill for Independent 0ffices-Many
Changes Due in Regroupings

The District appropriation bill, which
failed at the close of the last season
because the House refused to approve
a conference agreement on the lump
sum contribution by the Federal Gov
ernment for support Of the National
Capital, is likely to be considered at
this session by the Deficiency Subconi-
mittee instead of District Subcom-
mittee.
New estimates are to be submitted by
the Budget Bureau on both the Dis
trict and independent Offices appro-
prtation bills.
Organization Delayed.
The organization of the House Ap-
preparations Committee has been held
up, and due to the fact that Repre-
sentative Buchanan of Texas, who Is
to succeed the former chairman, now
House Leader Byrns, has not yet been
officially approved as chairman, he has
not made even a tentative slate OF sub
committee appointments.
The Presidents program for reor-
ganization of the entire administrative
branch of the Government will mean
radical changes in the organization OF
subcommittee on appropriations. 1t is
understood that a number of bureaus
and Independent establishments will be
wiped out, and that there will be rather
drastic coordination and regrouping of
existing agencies, so that whatever roster
of subcommittee might now be made
up would be rendered almost unservice-
able as the result of the reorganization,
which the President proposes.
Grouping Planned.
Because the District budget contains
only the relatively small amount of ap-
proximately s40,000,000. it is contem-
plated that hereafter the District bud
get may not be handled by separate
distinct subcommittee, but that the Dis
trict budget may be considered in the
same bill and by the same subcommittee
with several other agencies of the Gov
eminent in much the same way that the
State, Justice. Commerce and Labor bill
now Is handled.
The prospect is that the new Appro-
priations Committee will be divided into
a smaller number of more important
subcomElittees SO that all of them will
have plenty of work and none of them
handle one unit of the budget.

SoIIdtttteS at the forthcoming
World Economic Conference.
BY J. C. OEsTREICHER
International News Service Cable
Editor
NEW YORK, June S 0.N.SD.-
One week from today, represen-
tattves of so nations will board
the foundered ship OF interna-
tional commerce and try to float
1t free from the shoals of de-
preston.
AS delegates to the World Eco
nomic Conference, summoned on
the initiative Of President Roose-
welt, their ostensible task will be
to ster away from the rocks of
distruct and the reefs of mis-
understanding into sea of
economic amity.
They are going, into the con-
ference at London hopeful of
success. But if they fail, Great
Britain at least appears prepared
Gor safe conduct to some snug
harbor.
Macdonald AS Chairman
She has assigned seven mem
bers OF her Cabinet to the con-
ference. Her delegation is the
strongest, from the viewpoint of
individual prestige and national
position, that any nation has ever
assigned to any conference.
Under ordinary circumstances,
Brltaln's delegation would be
headed by the Prime Minister,
James Ramsay Macdonald. But
NE has been elected chairman of
the conference, so he must pre-
side as neutral referee.
The British crew will have as
captain Neville Chamberlain,
chancellor of the exchequer.
ChamberIain's Handicap
Second son of the famed
Joseph Chamberlain of high
tariff history. the chancellor
suffered for years the handicap
of having a noted father and a
e1oted alf-brother.
He was eclipSed while Joe
Chamberlain's eldest son, Sir
Austen, won prestige and renown
as foreign secretary and emerged
from obscurity only when his
kin began to recede in national
importance.
Since then, Neville has out
stripped both father and brother.
Joe Chamberlain went to his
grave broken and bitter man
because he failed in 80 years of
effort to win Britain to tariff
protectionism. Neville did just
that within a few months after
taking office.
A Black Magician
He has balanced budgets by
means his enemies alluded to as
black magic. He has spoken
bluntly, while Macdonald has
generalized and temporized, on
the debt question.
To obviate the necessity of
spreading Union Jack over the
British desks, Viscount Hailsham,
Secretary of State for War has
been assigned to the delegation
an the role of John Bull. Hail
sham believes in being British
until it hurts.
J. H. CJimmy"D Thomas,
boisterous minister for the Domin-
ions, who started life in the rail
away yards, has knack of saying
s'the wrong thing" but he is
usually found to be right in the
Dong run.
Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, quiet,
distinguished. capable Colonial
secretary, will leave the polemlcs

Hailsham, the oratory to Sir John
simon and the fireworks to
