BOUNDARY NC 7
HELDONLYONE
WITH CHANCE
Mrs. Norton Expresses Her
HopeIessness as Efforts to
Push Measures Lapse

Eleven District bills are still
pending in the House, but their
chances of passage are so slim
that there isn't even any effort
being made to push them.
With the end of the short ses-
sion only a few days off, Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton CD of
New Jersey, chairman of the
House District Committee, does
not expect to have another
District Day and has given up
hope of getting any Of the bills
through, except one, because Of
their controversial nature, she
said today.
Boundary Bill Exception
OF all the bills, only the Vir-
ginia boundary bill, which eStab-
fishes a boundary between Vir-
ginia and the District of Colum-
bia, has any chance Of passage,
she said.
The others, including regula-
tion of the sale of securities, the
small loan bill and the amend
ment to the child labor law per-
mitting minors to appear in
theatrical performances, are also
controversial that there will not
be time to debate them, Mrs.
Norton pointed out.
Bills Facing Defeat
Both the securities and the
small loan bill, which would
establish a rate of interest on
loans less than $500, are neces-
Sary, the District committee head
declared, but cannot go through
this session.
The other bills would provide
q $4,000 appropriation for i'm
provementS at Casualty Hospital,
electricians licenses, incorporation
Of the big Brothers and big
Sisters" comforting of degrees at
foreign universities bearing the
title American" exemption from
taxes Of three patriotic groups,
and a private bill for the pay
ment Of $4,000 to the widow of
a District fireman.

R|TCH|E TRYING
To CUT BUDGET
AM|LL|ON
Apparently Takes Cue From
Coad Pamphlet; Schools
Due to Feel Ak

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. %. - The
fight started by Senator j. A. AL
Ian Coad yesterday to slash the
budget bore fruit when Governor
Albert C. Richie retired to the
quiet Of the executive mansion to
pare one million from the State
appropriations.
Coad circulariZed the senate and
house with pamphlet in which
he showed that the State budget
could be cut $1,308, 900.
He then rose on the floor of the
senate and said that the governor
and Director Of the Budget wal
ter Kirkman could do more in ef-
fecting real economy in one day
than the legislature could do in a
month.
The fight grew warmer when
it was learned that the senate
finance committee, which is
studying the budget, joined in
the race with the governor to
effect a million-dollar slash in
the $31,O0O,000 State appropria-
tionS.
The committee is planning eX-
ecutive sessions tomorrow to
make the cuts.
It is believed that the State
education system is going to feel
the ak more than any other de-
partment, although all depart
mentS will be cut.

The proposition simply is this:
