ready has approved nearly identical
Tremendous votes defeated
repeated Republican efforts to alter the
bill to permit the money to be lent IN
stead OF given to the States.
Before passage, the Democrats forced
over their leaders an amendment by
Representative Fuller, Democrat, OF
Arkansas TO permit the Federal relief
administration created by the bill TO
employ persons not qualified unoer the
civil service. A separate vote on this
amendment, demanded by Representa-
tive Luce, Republican, Of Massachusetts,

A limitation of $500 was placed on
the salary for the Federal relief ao-
ministrator, to be named by President
Roosevelt to distribute the funds, under
an Amendment by Representative Beeoy,
Republican, Of Maine.
Efforts of Democrats, led by Repre-
sentative Hastings Of Oklahoma. to have
the funds dispensed on the basis OF

unsuccessful

A banking committee amendment or
fered by Chairman Steagall to make
$3.50, 100000 available to October ! on
the basis of one Federal dollar to three
expended for relief locally was sus-
tanned, 208 to 50, after bitter attack
by Representative Tarver, Democrat. OF
Georgia. The other $3.50, 100000 is to
be an outright gift to States after Oc-
tober /, along with any undistrlbuted
balance from the first half.

In recess today because Of its OBJ

RADIO TO BE DEBATED
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Membership, Holding Annual
Meeting Monday, to Take
Up Broadcasting.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 22-Broadcast-
ing of news will be one Of the impor-
tant subjects before the annual meet
ing of the Associated Press Monday.
President Frank B. Noyes has can
vassed the entire membership as to its
views and at a meeting Of the board Of
directors this week he expressed graft
fcation at the fine response. An
analysis of the replies showed over
whelming opposition to giving news by
the association itself to radio chains,
but much closer vote was registered
on the subject of members being per-
mitted to broadcast bulletins through
their own or allied stations.
A resolution was proposed that the
board of directors prohibit the giving
OF news to radio chains. Kent Cooper,
general manager. reported that no news
had been so given since the November
election and with that as a preface the
resolution was adopted. Members will
be advised of the resolution at the
annual meeting.
In 1925 the members adopted reso-
luton calling for the broadcasting OF
news of transcendent importance and
under this has occurred all Of the
broadcasting. including national elec.
tions, authorized by the Associated
Press. 1t appears probable that resolu-
ton will be rescinded by the members.

RELIEF
FUNDS ARE ASKED
Glover Park Citizens Vote for
Appeal to Congress-WiI-
lett Speaks.
The Glover Park Citizens Association

The Glover Park Citizens Association
last night voted to urge upon Con-
gress the more liberal appropriation OF
funds for the Board Of Public Welfare
here. to meet emergency relief needs.
It took this action, after listening to
an address by Herbert L. Willett, jr., as
sisting director Of the Community Chest,
who advised impressing upon Congress
the necessity for greater share Of pub
lie funds here for relief; that such
funds be spent adequately and intelli-
gently ard those who are able were
asked to give volunteer service in relief
work.
Mr.. Willett emphasized that the Ma
tional Capital is now facing 16 times
the need for purely physical relief that
existed in 1929. The Community Chest,
he said, Is able to do less this year, be-
cause it did not reach its quota, al
though the need Is greater. People Of
the District, Mr.. Willett said, are giving
three times as much out Of their own
pockets for relief here, as are people
throughout the country in their own
communities.
Public funds for relief will run out, at
the present rate, about June 8, the as
sistant director said, while Community
Chest funds will be depleted the latter
part Of June or early In July.
The association voted to arrange for
Q local trafi1c count of their own at
Tunlaw road and Calvert street. The
association has complained that VIII
liam A. Van Duzer, trafnc director,
placed stop signs on Calvert street
the main entrance to Glover Park
making Tunlaw road an arterial high
way, because he lives in Wesley Heights
and wants an unimpeded thoroughfare
to get downtown. Mr.. Van Duzer de-
MED this and explained q traffic count
showed Tunlaw road Is the more trav-
eled highway. The dates for the asso-
cations traffic count were not set.
Myron r. Walker, the associations
president, presided, and following the
meeting refreshments were served.
