MAN IN LIQUOR
CAR SHOT

An automobile equipped with
smoke screen was pursued early
today by police of the liquor
squad and an occupant, Leonard
w. Shoemaker, %. of the 1900
block Rock Creek Church Rd.
N. W., was shot and wounded by
Policeman William McEWen.
Shoemaker found after he was
treated at Casualty Hospital for
wound in the back that he faced
five charges-reckless driving,
driving on dead tags, operating a
smoke screen, transporting, and
possession of 48 half gallons of
liquor.
A companion, Allen E. Moore,
81, of Silver Spring, Md, was
charged with operating a smoke
screen, transporting and posses
sion.
The chase began near Fourth
and Neal Streets Northwest, after
the two were said to have deliv-
cred 48 half gallons of which
police say they later admitted
possession. The pursuit lasted
only a block and a half, McEWen
firing when he was Smoked"
Policemen j. E. Beckett and G.
C. Devoe were also in the car.

MAYORS PRESS
RELIEF PLEA

Protesting against what they
termed "cool" reception at the
White House, mayors of so of
Americas largest cities today
were preparing to present to Con-
gress vivid picture of the des-
perate financial plight of the
municipalities.
This action was determined
upon late last night after the
mayors had been received by
President Roosevelt, and had
given to him a plea that the Re
construction Finance Corporation
be instructed to make loans to
them on tax anticipation war
rants.

HOUSING PLANS
MUST GOVERN
LEGISLATION
Senator's Resolution Gives
Commission Right to Gather
Data for Next Session

Investigation by the Public Util-
tiles Commission of District rents
and accumulation of evidence for
submission at the next session Of
Congress, was demanded today by
Senator Arthur Capper (R0 OF
Kansas.
The evidence regarding District
housing conditions would be used
in the preparation of legislation
designed to curtail prices.
Extensive Survey
Pointing to the acuteness of the
District rent situation, Senator
Capper introduced a resolution to
empower the commission to make
an extensive survey of general
housing conditions. Although the
Senate District Committee went
over the same subject last winter,
Senator Capper said he believed
more recent information should be
obtained.
Senator Capper declared that it
was impossible to secure appro-
pirate legislation to better local
conditions in the short time re.
naming of the present extraordi-
nary session of Congress,
He said:
The recent District Com
mittee investigation disclosed a
pressing need for remedial legis-
latiOn in connection with va
riOus phases of housing in the
District.
COMPLETE INFORMATION
"As it is fruitIess to hope that
we can achieve the Objectives
outlined in the rental investiga-
tiOns report before the close of
the present session, / am con-
vinced that the committee with
the assistance of the public,
should make a determined ef-
fort to perfect a permanent and
comprehensive housing plan for
Washington before the next seS-
sion.
"TO accomplish this purpose
it is essential that the COM
mittee be informed concerning
changes in the local housing
situation"

Ten Years Younger

than anyone else-that is all.
Ten Years Younger
Angry letter writers fail to catch the hopeful note in
the plan. It means-science being what II ls-tnat
people put to sleep or frozen would awake or
be thawed out 10 years from In the same stage OF
preservation they 1t seems that ten years
from now you would be older more feeble than
you today What other plan of life offers so much
I detect also in my letters reproach for revivng
the idea now. 1T was all right year ago., writes
M. F. (whose last cannot declpher), but we've
changed lot since then. Before you know 1t all the
people who have been writing up plans to end the
cause the depression will be over-wthout their plans
One For Planners
Sensing nothing personal in this can take it, but
also hand it back In all fairness, few kind words
ought to be said for few intelligent men who sketched
plans to get out of what seemed bottomless pit,
and whose planks if they have not been accepted
certainly influenced the which the President
has taken. The name of Stuart Chase comes to mind
because it is nearly two years since he proposed an
industries board which definitely foreshadowed the
to be appointed
One more thing might be noted. Human beings are
not elephants they always forget 1t is lucky thing,
too for life would not be tolerabe if we remembered
today the ideals and promises of yesterday Those OF
the World War; for instance and those of the first 18
months of our dandy depression
Do You Remember?
Of all those things we well forget the predictions
of good times and try to remember only the grim hard
boiled very Republican attitudethat the country had to
pull itself out merely by waiting and suffering and that
nothing could be done to help 1t seldom stated
openly but it was the dominant idea in the the whole
of the Hoover administration Today we find that some
things can be done; they may not be successtu they
may not be the best things but we are taking arms
against a sea of trouble instead OF drowning
The oddity to is that of the things proposed
had to wait for 1885, great constructive program was
planned two years ago-but nothing came OF IT, Inc Inc
fotation of large bond issue was readers OF this
paper may recall, mentioned with some enthusiasm at
about the same time and denounced as being both
too early and too late The problem of gold was clearly
stated by experts at the beginning of 1881
AS usual the choice of explanations is not encouraging
since it must be- that either too stupid or 100
greedy to do what obviously ought to do we puc
to INQUIRE Why they did what they did What about
committee to Investigate the minds of statesmen to dis
covnr whv they did not do what they failed to DO!

POOLE, EVANS
PONDER NEW
BANK POSTS
2 Must Quit as ConservatorS
If They Become Officers
Of Hamilton National

John Poole, president Of the
Federal-American National Bank
and Trust Company, one OF 13
local banks operating on a re-
stricted basis, is expected TO-DAY
to decide whether he will remain
as conservator of that bank or
become an officer in the new
Hamilton National Bank.
Poole's decision is to be made
at this time because Wilmer j..
Waller, vice president of the Fed
ertl-American, has also been
named vice president and cashier
of the new bank. Poole, Treas
ury officials stated, could not
serve both as conServator of the
old and officer Of the new bank.
Evans to Choose, Also
Joshua Evans, jr., president and
conservator of the District Ma
tional, will also be required to
make a choice, it is said. Evans
decision, however, is not expected
in the near future.
Few, if any, employees of banks
participating in the formation of
the Hamilton will lose their jobs
because of the merger, Edwin C.
Graham, president. stated today.
Instead of cutting down per-
sonnel of the banks, Graham in
dicated more help might be
needed. Closing out the business
of the merging institutions will be
a tremendous task" he said.
Opening of the new bank will
also mean there will be openings
for experienced help.
Progress Noted
Expressing satisfaction with the
progress being made in securing
subscriptions to the $1,000,000
capital stock and $250.000 surplus
for the new Hamilton National,
Graham emphasized the need for
intensive work and fullest COOP
Grafton" on the part of stock
holders and depositors of the
members banks.
Total subscriptions for stock to
date were not disclosed following
a meeting of the general subscrip-
ton committee yesterday. It was
pointed out that some of the
subscription committees had not
been able to begin active work un-
til yesterday.
Bank Bill Helps
Sale of stock in the new bank,
it is said, has been stimulated by
tile passage by the House of the
G]ass-Steagall banking bill with
an amendment which provides
for elimination of the double liza
tility of stockholders in national
institutions chartered after the
bill has gone into effect.
The bill still has to receive tire
sanction of tie Senate and sig
nature of President Roosevelt.
R. L. Hargreaves has resigned
as conservator of the Park Savings
Bank and has been replaced by j.
L. Bailey. Both men are bank eX-
aminers of the Treasury Depart
ment. Hargreaves resigned on his
own request and has been assigned
another task as bank examiner.

CIVIL SERVICE
COURT URGED

The proposal of William I.
Sirovich CD of New York, that
liaisen officer be named to re-
view cases of alleged injustice in
the Civil Service, has been fore
shadoWed on several occasions by
recommendations of the Civil
Service Commission, it was
learned at commission head
quarters today.
In the latest annual report of
that body, and in several prior
reports, recommendations have
been made that the commission
constitute a court of review in
cases where employees feel that
their Superiors have not treated
them fairly.
1t is not denied that occasional
ly there are injustices in the
Federal employ, but the necessity
for another agency than the
commission to remedy them is
questioned. Congress has hitherto
contended, in connection with
this point, that the commissions
duties are administrative, but
other Federal commissions are
generally accepted as possessing
quaSi-judicial powers.
Sirovich introduced his bill late
yesterday. 1t specifically pro-
vides that a liaison officer be i'm
mediately appointed with power
to investigate complaints made by
Government workers. The liaison
officer would be authorized to
bring to the attention of Con-
gress all cases where flagrant in
justices were involved.

Rockville Bank Open
For Complete Service

The Montgomery County Ma
tional Bank of Rockville opened
today on an unrestricted basis, the
license having been received from
the Federal Reserve Bank in Rich
mond, Paul C. Ramsdell, executive
vice president, announced.
Along with the other Maryland
banks, the Montgomery County
National Bank was closed by
Governor Ritchie's order, Febru-
ary 25, and later reopened on a
restricted basis,

Congress may not be put 10
much trouble in connection with
President Roosevelt's reorganiza-
tdon plans for the Federal depart
ments, it was indicated today.
Inquiry among the executive de-
nartments following the announce
ment that reorganization plans
are being classified in two groups,
one for which congressional au-
thority is needed and the other
for changes that can be made by
the departments themselves, re
sealed that the President has au-
thority, if he chooses to exercise 1t,
to make almost any changes he
NAV desire in the Federal struc-
ture.
Has Wide Powers
His power, in short, is much
greater than has been generally
realized, for through Executive &C
tion any employe may be dis
missed except those holding Statu-
tory positions, and in those cases
The incumbent may be furloughed.
Because of this broad authority,
about the only matters on which
the advice of Congress need be
Consulted are those involving con-
.Solidations ard shifts of bureaus
a. the Government organization.
" It. is probable that as a matter
-. roIicv Congress will be asked
~ 70 approve most major changes
w " Of least that it will be in
% CCar,,oed of them; but even consoli-
1T Iotions and shifts could be ef-

Roosevelt Praises
SchOOLbOu Patrols

The schoolboy traffic patrol is
an important factor in the traffic
safety program as we'll as a
builder of morale, responsibility
and good citizenship, in the opin-
ion of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
In a letter to Thomas P.
Henry, president of the American
Automobile Association, President
Roosevelt indorsed the patrol sys-
tenn and expressed the hope that
it will be continued as a perma-
nent feature of the national traf-
fic safety movement.

the question:, Woulu Ah0 w NC
one of those iced for 10 years?
That is known as a personal
argument and can only be answered
in an entirely impersonal way. The
selection of those who are to be
put away temporarily must be
absolutely left to chance. AS in
the war days, certain individuals
and certain classes would have to
be exempt, although do not think
the same classes, exactly, would
be ranked D-4 and lower.
We would have to keep almost
all our electrical and engineering
geniuses, and we could do without
most of our financiers because so
little finance would be needed.

Will Seek Advice
Units can be skeletonized by
the Executive to the point of
ineffectiveness, or their work
transferred to other Government
units, provided only that funds
are available to carry them on.
Naturally, it is not expected
that President Roosevelt would
attempt any procedure that
might antagonize Congress, and
it's advice and consent will prob

Raymond Lewis, of the 100
block Sixth st. S. w., walked up
to a stranger at Glen Echo Park
last night with that remark. The
reply was:
"NO, but that man over there
might"
Lewis walked over and repeated
his request. But the man turned
out to be a revenue agent who
turned Lewis over to Special Off

Gated four pints of alleged whiskey
and took the man to Rockville

silhouetteS in cross stitch are
a decoration that is attractive
in any home. Having an old"
time quaintness, they are as
much in vogue today as they
ever were. Done in one-color
thread, they are especially in
teresting to make, for cross
stitch is quick to do, and each
bit added to the embroidery
shows UP. These quaint scenes
are attractive subjects to work
on, for one could so easily weave
an interesting story around
them. They lend themselves
not only to pictures, but are
decorative as cushions, tray
cloths or inSetS.
