D. c. NEED SEEN
FOR SIX POOLS

There is nothing the District Of
Columbia needs so much as low
cost swimming pools and if the
CWA provides funds for their
construction the District ought to
be willing to find money with
which to maintain them.
This is the answer of Harry L.
Hopkins. administrator of the
CWA, to the query as to where
money will be coming from to OPP
crate the two new swimming
pools already in construction I'M
der CWA funds at Bannekar and
Takoma recreation centers.
He added:
washington needs swimming
pools more than any other kind
Of construction. The city ought
to have at least six public swim
ming pools, perhaps more.
eff we've gene ahead with
two, tn city certainly ought to
be able to dig up money for
their operation"

GREEN PLANS
D. c. LIQUOR
LICENSES
Commissioners Get Proposal
From Labor Head As They
Begin to Draft Law

As the District Commission
ers met today to start draft
ing a liquor control bill for
the Nations Capital, a plan
drawn up by William Green,
president of the American
Federation of Labor, was sub
mitted to them by E. J. Roche
of the Washington Central La
Dor Union.
Mr.. Green's plan, designed to
promote Temperance and eliminate
bootlegging, offers eight pro-
posals. They are:
l. Licenses to be restricted to
persons of good character.
Individual Fut First
/ 2. The individual rather than
1.-THE location TO be licensed. The
license to be non-transferable
except in case of death or sale
Of the property.
8. The license fee to be COM
memsurate with the revenue de-
rived from the sale of liquor.
4. Licenses to be restricted in
number, based on population.
5. A fine for the first VIOLA
ton of regulations and cancel
lation of license for the second
violation.
6. There must be an unob-
Structed view of any room where
liquor is sold.
Food To Be Optional
7. Serving of food with liquor
to be optional.
8. Liquor to be available by
the drink at any time, thus
eliminating the glamor of illicit
drinking.
Confining sale of liquor to the
package would result in contin-
uance of speakeasies, Mr.. Green
holds.
His plan will be considered by
the Commissioners together with
scores of others presented at pub
lie hearings on the subject last
week. The Commissioners hope
to have the bill drafted and placed
in the hands of the Senate and
House District Committees in a
few days.
The issue causing the Commis-
sioners the greatest concern is the
proposal that the various COM
munitieS in the city be given per-
mission to decide whether they
will remain d. ! or permit the sale
of liquor.
Must Determine Plan
The Commissioners must decide,
if they recommend local option,
whether communities should be
determined by area, population, or

President Roosevelt apparently
has accomplished an amicable
settlement of the dispute between
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
and George N. Peek, Agricultural
Adjustment Administrator.
Peek in all probability will
head the body that Mr.. Roose-
velt intends setting up to pro-
mote the expansion of American
foreign trade.
Goes to Different Field
The administrator thus will be
taken out of the Agriculture De-
partment proper, where his views
have clashed violently with those
of Wallace and Assistant Secre-
tary Rexford Tugwell, and placed
in an entirely different field of
operations.
Peek is among those called by
the President for the conference
late today which will mark the
beginning of active operations of
the trade expansion program.
From all other departments
whose representatives were to at
tend the conference, only one Of
ficial was called. From the Agri-
culture Department not only the
Secretary but Peek. too, were
called to the White House. This
was interpreted by some observers
to indicate that Nh RoossYelt has

WYNEkOOP FREE.
IN SLAY|NG

CHICAGO, Dec. II U.N.S0.-
Earle Wynekoop was freed today
on charges of being an accessory
before the fact of the murder of
his pretty girl wife, Rheta Gard
ner Wynekoop, in the home Of
his mother, DR.. Alice Lindsay
Wynekoop, on November 81.
Earle remained in temporary
custody of Sheriff Myering, how
ever, but it was only because a
writ in his own behalf forced the
sheriff to produce him in Judge
Joseph B. David's Criminal Court
this afternoon.
Suddenly and unexpectedly the
States Attorneys office dropped
the charges against young Wyne-
koop when he appeared before
Judge Jay A. Schiller in Felony
Court.
The warrant had been issued by
Judge Schiller, on complaint Of
acting Capt. Thomas Duffy, three
days after the girls body was
found on the basement operat-
ing table in DR.. Wynekoop's
office.
Hearings on the warrant had
been continued, and Wynekoop
has been held without bail in
the county Jail, where his mother
is held on an indictment charg-
ing her with Rheta'S murder.

AWAIT DATA
ON COST Of
LIVING
Attitude of Roosevelt Also Has
Bearing; Rep. Woodrum
Opposed to All Cuts

Recessing today until JAN
uary 2 without making a de-
cision on it's recommendations,
If any, regarding elimination
Of all or part Of the Is per
cent Federal pay cut, the
House Appropriations subcom-
mittee today dealt a blow to
Government clerks who hoped
to know by the first of the
year what they could expect
in the way Of increased pay.
Committee members said their
recommendations would be gov
erned by the survey now being
conducted on the cost Of living in
Washington and upon President
Roosevelt's attitude.
wOodr1m AgaF1tst Cut. ..,~
Representative Clifton A. Wood
rum CD of Virginia, chairman of
the subcommittee, is in favor Of
eliminating the Is per cent cut.
The subcommittee's recommends
tions also will be influenced by
the attitude of the full committee,
with which Mr.. Woodrum's unit
will confer later.
Before the recess, E. Claude
Babcock, president of the Amer
lean Federation Of Government
Employees, urged elimination OF
the pay cut, elimination Of fur
loughs and repeal Of other sections
Of the economy act, and return
to normal personnel policies" He
contended the furloughs and pay
cuts amount to a double salary
reduction.
The Federation head also point
ed out that a discrepancy in the
economy act exists in the section
prohibiting an employe from OBJ
tanning a higher salary if his
duties are increased, while new
man who is given similar duties
receives higher pay.
Not Fair Basis
The cost of living, Mr.. Bah
cock told the committee, is not
an appropriate basis for fixing
salaries. He contended that as
salaries are now fixed by the
Government it is against the
policy of the NRA.
Basing salaries on the cost of
living, he said, is "juSt an excuse"
to lower the pay of the employees.
He pointed out that under the
economy law, if it is found that
the cost of living has decreased,
salaries could be proportionately
decreased, but that if the cost of
living has increased salaries can
only be restored to the 100 per
cent basis, despite the amount by
which the cost Of living might
have increased.

D. C.. DRY LAW
FACES TEST

Judge Gus A. Schuldt today
took under consideration a mo-
ton to dismiss charges against
an alleged bootlegger on the
ground that the dry law has been
removed from the statute books.
Following a hearing in Police
Court, Judge Schuldt said that
he will give his decision in a
day or two after studying the
law in the case.
The case was that of Robert
Roland Speiner, 10, charged with
sale and possession of liquor fol-
lowing a raid in the. 1900 block
Owens Pl. N. E. October IA.
Attorneys Louis Whitestone and
j. E. Boden moved to quash the
information and dismiss the ac-
ton, contending that Speiner is
charged with violation Of a law
which does not exist.
Assistant District Attornev
David A. Hart countered this argu-
ment by stating that while the
dry law no longer exists, Speiner
must be tried for violation of
the law which was on the statute
books at the time of the alleged
offense.

Rift Healed, Peek
Is Slated for Trade Post

definitely decided to place Peek in
charge Of the trade building body.
A First Step
Today'S meeting of the depart
mental heads with the President
marked the first step towards
coordinating the trade program
with the President.
Mr.. Roosevelt wants to work out
a system whereby this country will
export agricultural products and
import products from other coun-
tries which will not compete with
domestic products.
Some preliminary work has been
done in this connection and Presi-
dent Roosevelt announced last
April he would carry out such a
program.
Looks to the South =,
Mr.. Roosevelt had his eye on
Americas neighborS to the South
when he formulated the program,
and it is expected that a detailed
survey of possible imports from
these countries will be made at
todayS conference.
The whcH theory of Mr.. RooSe-
velt'S program was based on an
exchange of goods and thus the
plan when in operation will have
two distinct phases, one the job
of finding goods this nation can
bring in, the other Of finding q
market for a3Cplus products.
