A QUESTIONABLE has been circu-
lated among the alumni of var1.
GUS colleges and universities. The
book, edited by Joseph Lash, Co
lumbia graduate, will be a sum-
mary Of their replies.
The circular contained such
questions as:
How useful has your degree
been to you?
Has unemployment affected
your emotional setup?
Has it corrupted the juices Of
your personality?
How do you feel about mar
riage?
How do you feel about the i'm
ponderables, liberty, equality,
fellowship?
Would you oppose a dictator
ship-or don't you give damn?
According to Mr.. Lash, the
graduates feel their Juices" have
been corrupted considerably. They
are becoming bitter. They want
to get married, but are afraid
Of it.
AS for the "imponderables,"
they replied they didn't know
what the words meant. Or hadn't
found out as yet. And as to the
last question, the great majority
didn't give what was suggested.

relations was advocated today be
fore the United States Chamber
of Commerce by DR.. John W.
Ross, president of the Canadian
Chamber Of Commerce. He said:
eff the United States and
Canada are to trade with each
other, there is one outstanding
fact both must observe, and 1t
is that the trade must be fair
trade or it cannot persist.
Among other things, this world
must return to sound funda-
mental principles and we on
this continent should be the
first to demonstrate that Ne,
at least, understand the mean.

change Of goods and services
between nations and individuals.
II we are to continue regarding
each others markets as con-
venient locations for big ex-
ports alone, we are merely
deceiVing ourselves"
LEGISLATION to prevent any such
catastrophe as that which hap

SCHOOLS await I
SUPPLY BILLS

Board Of Education considera-
ton of methods of living within
the curtailed 1884 school budget
must await not only passage of
the District supply bill, but also
disposition of the proposed 30
year retirement and 9O-day fur
Tough provisions of the Independ-
ent Offices appropriation bill,
school heads declared today.
Fearful at first of adopting
any kind Of personnel policy to
live within the slashed personnel
item, school heads have been
awaiting passage Of the District
appropriation item before laying
down the law.
When the 3O-year retirement
clause for Federal employees was
introduced in the Independent
Offices supply bill, school heads
quoted the Teachers Retirement
Act to show their immunity from
this provision.
With the possibility that
teachers and officers Of the
District school system may be
included, however, despite the
teachers act, school officials are
delaying any plans until this is
acted on by Congress.

? MEN INTERRUPT SALES TO HOLD UP STORE
DOHar-a-YeQr
Padres Cut
By M'Carl

Chaplains for the Veterans Ad-
ministration who have been re-
ceiving quarters, subsistence, and
laundry, plus a nominal salary Of
81 a year, will be docked that
dollar henceforth. according to a
ruling today by Comptroller Gen.
eral j. r. McCarl.
The Comptroller General, in an
earlier ruling, has held that where
part of q salary is paid in kind,
the is per cent reduction must be
made from the part Of the salary
that is paid in cash.
That ruling was not cited in the
present one, however, for the rea-
son that any reduction in the COM
puted value of quarters, sub
sistence, and laundry would bring
the total compensation below the
prescribed minimum of $1,260,
which is not permissible.
The Veterans Administration
pointed out that the whole cut
could not be made from cash pay
ments to chaplains who drew only
81 a year, whereupon McCarl gave
instructions to stop paying the 81.

TAXI CHANGES

The Public Utilities Commits.
sion today forwarded to the Dis.
trict Commissioners recommends
tions for two changes in taxicab
licensing methods.
One change would provide for
separate license books for taxi
cabs and character licenses to
facilitate checking up on cabs
and drivers. At present, the
licenses are issued from the gen.
eral license book and are almost
impossible to trace.
The other change would be
adoption of a medallion of the
type now used in New York, to
be affixed on the outside of
licensed cabs. The commission
believes the metal medallion
would be less easily stolen or
altered than the present paper

BILL WATTS
House Delays Naming Con-
ferees on Measure; Texan
Held Set to Oppose 1t
Representative

Absence of Representative
Thomas l.. Blanton CD of
Texas, who killed the 1884 Dis
trict supply bill in the last Con-
gress, today delayed naming Of
conferees on, the new District ap-
preparations measure which
passed the Senate yesterday.
Blantorl was reported en- route
to, Washingto from his home in
Texas and was slated to arrive
tomorrow night. If he does, Rep
resentative James P. Buchanan,
Democratic chairman Of the
House Appropriations Committee,
said the bill would be sent to
conference as soon as possible.
Battle in Sight
Conferences will be delayed
until next week, Senator Thomas
CD of Oklahoma said today.
Senator Thomas is also one Of
the conferees on the farm bill
and will be unable to attend the
District bill conference until dis
position of the farm measure.
Senate confereeS were named
yesterday and action is held up
pending the naming Of the House
members.
Buchanan said the House did
not approve of several amend
ments by the Senate and indi-
Gated that House conferees would
insist that these be stricken out.
He declined to state what amend
ments were in controversy.
BlantOn Aid Sought
Blanton, in the closing days of
the last session Of Congress, killed
the District supply bill by re-
fusing to consent to its considera-
tion because the lump sum con-
tribution of the Federal govern
ment had been raised above the
House figures.
Buchanan said he considered
Blanton well versed on District
matters and thought he would be
an asset for the conference com
mittee.
Representative Blanton is be-
lieved not favorable to the present
additional fund.
Passage of the bill was swift
yesterday as the Senate approved
amendments suggested by the Dis
trict subcommittee of the Senate
Appropriations Committee as well
as two amendments that were
brought in without first gaining
subcommittee sanction.
One Of the latter reduces by
$35, 1000 the total of the bill by
prohibiting purchase and install
lation of additional traffic con-
troll lights. This amendment was
submitted by Senator James
Couzens (R.) Of Michigan.
Sponsored by Senator Sam G.
Bratton CD of New Mexico, the
other makes it mandatory for the
Board of Education to appoint
temporary teachers from the
eligible list, instead of disregard
ing this group as suggested by
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, local super
intendent of schools.

Company Company store, 900
block H st. N. E., tying UP sew
eral employees, and forcing sew
eral customers, to lie on the floor
while they took an undetermined
amount of money from the safe
and cash register.
Entering the store about 9 a.
m. one Of the men went directly
to the rear and forced Harry E.
Clark, the manager, to hold up
his hands. The other. flashing two
pistols, forced four clerks to the
rear of the building where Joe
Miller, an employe was compelled
to bind j. w. WaStler. assistant

When Clark demonstrated that
he was unable to open the safe
they united Wastler and bound
Clark. Wastler opened the safe
and then was compelled to lie on
the floor.
Still working methodically the
men took a small radio out OF its
box and dumped the money into
the box. ,
Warning their victims to "ie
there. we have lots of time" the
holdup men strolled out the rear
door into the alley and disap-
peared.

Barnstable, Mass, Aug 14-(UP)
Eight Yarmouth special police
men were among "a defendants to
be arraigned in district court here
today on assorted charges growing
out of a dramatic Sunday morning
liquor and gambling raid at Casa
Madrid, Cape Gods swankiest
night club.
A Jazz band was playing, Were

guests, including many society folk,
were dancing, or sitting and sip

entertaining themselves in the brill
liantly- lighted roulette room, when
IS state troopers in personal COM
mand of Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral George B. Lourie and Lieuten-
ant James E. Hughes descended
upon the resort.
With guns drawn to show they
meant business, the raiders quick
ly divided the assemblage into two
groups, guests and employees. The
formers were released after their
names (including many a John
Smith and John Jones) had been
taken. The employees, including
the eight special policemen whose
duty it was to guard Casa Madrid
against the forays of hijackers,
state police charged, were arrest
ed.

public works costs are to be amor

voted by the last session Of con-
gress.
Steadily rising tax revenues from
legalization of the sale of beer and
increased business activity, togeth-
er with large reductions in the run
ming expenses of the government,
have virtually achieved balanced
budget for ordinary operations.
In the first ten days of August
the treasury collected in taxes and
other income a total of $79,453,914
and spent $7S,783,515 for running
expenses.
Not included in the above fig-
ures were $62,407,200 spent in the
first ten days of August for emery
ency relief expenditures such as

income of the government amount
ed to $242,667,485. Ordinary expen-
ditures. including many millions of
non-recurring nature, came to
$274,401,4S4. This $32,000,000 de-
felt in ordinary operations Is ex-
pected to be made up when full
effects of the economy program are
felt and September quarter income
tax payments come in.
Emergency expenditures in this
period amounted to $137,759,942.
In the corresponding period Of last
year relief expenditures through
the Reconstruction Finance cor
poration amounted to $188,810,514.
The current figures are not en-
tirely comparable with those of
last year because of bookkeeping
changes put into effect July 1, by
the new administration to segregate
ordinary from emergency expendi-
lures. This change has drawn con-
siderable criticism from republic
can leaders.
The total income Of $242,667.-
485 from July /, to August 10, was
nearly double the S122.714.974 col
lected in the corresponding period
of last year when some of the cur
rent taxes were not full in effect.
Total expenditures, including
emergency expenditures this year
were $412,161,427, against $654,-
512,886 In the corresponding period
! Of last year. These figures are moi
entirely comparable because of d
$35,159,642 credit this year be-
cause of the farm credit admin
istration arising from liquidation
Of farm board cotton and wheat
holdings and the inclusion in last
years expense of $15,000,000
