delegates will be quartered at many
other hotels throughout the city.
Normally, the attendance at this con-
vention Is about 1000, but twice that

all parts of the country. Pavilion seats
are still available and bleachers and
standing room tickets are to be sold

commodations From previous expert
ence," Mr.. Gumpert said, I'VE know

BETTER HOUSING
SUGGESTIONS TO Be
OFFERED BY RING
Rent Research Agent to Lay
Proposals Before Utility
Commission.
WILL ASK FEDERAL FUND
FOR ALLEY CLEARANCE
Also Suggests Strengthening of
District Laws Relating to
Condemnation.

Two definite proposals looking toward
improvement of housing conditions Of
residents of Washington in the lowest
income class will be made before the
Public Utilities Commission in the near
future by James Ring. rent research
agent, it was learned today.
One will deal with proposals for the
use of public works funds for the re-
placement of Washington's insanitary
alley dwellings, a subject now under
consideration by Secretary of Interior
Ickes, Public Works Administrator, and
the other will be concerned with exist
ing District laws relating to condemna-
ton of insanitary or unsafe buildings
Based on Personal Inspection.
The suggestions will be based upon
personal inspections Ring has been
making of the poorer classes of housing
lin Washington, in connection with the
study of rental conditions here for the
Utilities Commission, at the instance of
the Senate.
In the past several days Ring has
visited a number of dwellings rented
by persons in the lower income groups.
In this phase of his work he has &C
companied one of the inspectors of
the Office of the building inspector Of
the District. On other trips planned
for the next week or two he will &C
company inspectors of the District
Health Office during their inspection
of sanitary facilities of local prop
erty.
From information of this character
already gathered, Ring is convinced
that persons paying the lowest scales
of rent are receiving, in reality, pre-
portionately less in the way of hous-
ing than are persons paying much
higher rent charges.
Conditions DeplorabIe.
He declared today that conditions In
some dwellings he had inspected are
deplorable Some places the houses
have no plumbing or lighting facilities,
he said, and in other cases the build
ings are generally in a bad state
structurally and are conducive gener-
ally to insanitary conditions.
He points out that at the present time
unless dwelling is determined as being
more than SO per cent deprecated the
District cannot order its condemnation
and raZing.
For these reasons Ring plans to sug-
gest that the Utilities Commission con-
slider a recommendation to Congress on
the advisability of a strengthening of
the laws dealing with the condemnation
of unsafe or insanitary housing. He
also plans to gather as much specific
information as possible as to the con-
ditions of cheap rented quarters and to
suggest that the Utilities Commission
forward this to officials of the Park and
Planning Commission, with the idea
that 1t then would be placed before the
Public Works Administration during
consideration of plans for fund for re-
building of "slum" housing in the Dis
trict.
It was announced recently that public
works officials are giving consideration
to the petition of civic interests for the
granting of fund to improve Washing
tons alley dwellings.

SECOND-BASE HUDDLE I

Whoever originated the tale
n ! that conferences on the ball
wv diamond chiefly are confined
Y to subjects such as the best
steak in town, certain
brand of beer, new joke or the rel
ative temperaments of blonds and
brunettes, may have had some founda-
ton for the yarn, but it was not in
spired by Joe Cronin and Buddy Myer,
shortstop and second baseman of the
new American League champions.
If you are base ball follower you've
undoubtedly noticed the characteristic
conference-held at the start of every
enemy inning while Myer awaits his
catcher's practice throw. Buddy and
Joe go through the same motions nine
times game-hundreds Of times sea-
son. Were it not for subconcious
recollection of having read that ball
players discussions, on and off the field,
are not unlike your own you might have
wondered what it was all about.
But take it from Cronin it's all about
base ball and in the final analysis this
little characteristic played a big part
In the Nationals pennant-winning cam
paign.

than one" explained Cronin, "and
Buddy's got head on him, believe me-"

DISTRICT LIQUOR
PLAN IS PROPOSED
Rufus S. Lusk Would Pattern
Distribution After Swedish
System.

A plan for control, distribution and
sale of liquor in the District after re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment
which would discourage excessive sales
by restricting private profits, was pro-
posed today by Rufus S. Lusk, for the
last two years executive commander o1
the Crusaders.
Modelled after the Bratt system in
Sweden, the plan calls for the creation
of a commission of three members ap-
pointed by the President which would
have absolute control over all alcoholic
beverages Sale and distribution OF
these beverages, with the exception OF
beer, would be vested in a limited divi-
dend corporation operating under q
franchise from the commission.
Bill to Be Prepared.
Lusk will put his plan in the form
of bill for consideration of the Senate
District Committee which will hold
hearings on proposed liquor legislation
before Congress convenes in January.
According to Lusk, the essence of his
plan Is to cure the evils OF the liquor
traffic by taking away the big profits
which encouraged retailers in the pre-
prohibition era to push the sale.
OLOCl ANoh D PAdll, l4uOA iOA SOlA

sold only in retail stores operated by
the corporation The location of the
stores and the hours of sale would be
fixed by the commission. There woulc
be no limitation, however, on the
amount any individual could purchase
as is the case in certain provinces o1
Canada and in Sweden.
Liquor for consumption on the prem.
ises would be sold only in restaurants
and hotels with bona fide meals. The
number of such places handling liquor
Lusk said, should be limited to between
800 and 400 The license fee he pre-
scribes is $500
No Bars in Restaurants.
Bars would not be permitted in the
eating establishments licensed to handle
liquor. All drinking would have to b.
done at tables.
Hotels and restaurants would pur-
chase liquor from the corporation OF
a quota basis, the size of the plac,
and the volume of its business to b,

SpecialW
WASHINGTON, Judge II. II, Taylor, who has
been in Washington for the past week in connection
with the application of the Monroe County Road and
Toll Bridge Commission for Federal loan, left Tues
day night for Tallahassee to confer with State Off
Gals regarding the application.
Judge Taylor said just before he left that he
plans to return TO the Capital as the Public
Works Administration has organized its machinery
for handling loans of the type which the bridge COM
mission is seeking He said this would probably be in
about two weeks but might be sooner He expects TO
keep in close touch with things in Washington, Judge
Taylor said. w. r. Porter, general manager OF the
bridge commission, will remain in Washington, and
continue his efforts to further the loan application
and will recall Judge Taylor as soon as anything
breaks" he said.
The trip to Tallahassee is expected to result IN
perfection of plans for presenting the bridge loan ap
plcation to the regional public works administrator
and pushing it with the State advisory board,
as either has been appointed, Judge Taylor said.r
1t has been decided not to tie the application OF
the bridge commission up with the old application OF
the Overseas Bridge Corporation for the sake OF che
nebulous priority which might thus be obtained, Por
ter and Taylor explained. The new loan request will
be kept separate from the DID, since it is believed that
its chances for approval will be enhanced by this
course of action, it was said.
This means that twill be impossible to get the loan
application before Secretary Ickes Public Works Adj
minstrator until it has been approved by the State
Advisory Board, yet to be named, the bridge commits
sion representatives explained.
Mr.. Porter is investigating method of pro-
cedure however, which 1t is expected will make
ii possible to pass the directly from the State
board to Secretary Ickcs without the ntermedia-
ton of the regional Administrator.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-
The Roosevelt administration is

stock and commodity markets by
operators seeking profit only for
themselves.
This was evident today as Sec
rotary Wallace moved to develop

prices.
He gave his approval to sus-
pension of future trading for one
day at Chicago and other points.
President Roosevelt himself.

more to restore better times than
any changes in quoted prices on

Nevertheless. those close to him
