BIC ADS BOOST
SEA FOODS

The biggest advertising cam
paign in its history is being put
on for the Van Camp Sea Food
Company, Inc, by Emil Brisacher
and staff, Pacific Coast advertis-
ing agency. The 1888 appropria-
ton is said to exceed $4,000
Large newspaper schedules have
already been released in many
markets and many hundreds of
other sections of the United
States will be reached by consist
ent and Sizable newspaper adver-
tisementS. Expansion in numer-
Gus new markets is contemplated.
Mr.. Brisacher stated that this
year, as in the past, more than
80 per cent of the appropriation
is for newspaper advertising,
which has been a vital factor in
the company's growth. The Van
Camp Sea Food Company's an
nual output is in excess of co.
100000 tins of California fish
products.
The Van Camp Sea Food Com
pany, Inc. states that it has
been greatly aided by the Buy
American" campaign of the
Hearst newspapers which has so
forcefully called the American
public's attention to the dangers
attendant upon foods which so
often are below American stand
ards.

CONFEREES TO GET
DISTRICT BEER BILL
Main Issue Between House
and Senate Is Ban in
U. S. Buildings.

The House intends to send the District
beer bill to conference tomorrow. Both
Speaker Rainey and Chairman Norton
of the House District Committee are in
favor of this So also is Representative
Black. Democrat, of New York, who has
been active in putting through this legis-
lation
The principal issue between the House
and Senate On the District beer bill is
the prohibition placed in the bill by the
Senate against sale of beer in the Capt.
tol or any Government building. The
House by decisive vote rejected a SINH
lar amendment. Speaker Rainey said ''it
would be most inconsistent to say that
80 beer is Notwithstanding and all right
to sell elsewhere, but not in a Govern
ment building Representative Black
says: I'VE would be in ridiculous posi-
ton to authorize its sale anywhere but
make an exception of Government build
ingS. That would also be discrimina-
ton"
Those in the House who had most to
do with putting through the District
beer bill say they see only few minor
changes in essential facts between the
bill as it passed the House and as it was
rewritten in the Senate. Representative
,ioSh POAllJCd OuI IlOWcFCl. Stkctdl
points on which the House conferees will
seek an adjustment They will argue
for granting to drug stores the right to
dispense beer. He thinks that a whole
saler's license is unnecessary, and a bet
ter way can be found for regulat ting the
sale direct from a brewer to a con-
sumner
It's not anticipated that there will
be any very lengthy controversy in the
conference between representatives OF
the House and the Senate. so that II
the House remains in session long
enough tomorrow it may be possible to
get final action on the District beer bill
Chairman Norton of the House COM
mittee said last night that the con-
ferees for the House will probably be
besides herself, Representative Palmi-
sano, Maryland. sponsor of the bill in

sentative Stalker. New York, ranking

Committee. and Representative Whitley

STATUARY HALL PLAN
TO BE CONSIDERED
Joint Library Committee Of SEN
ate and House to Take Up
Report.

The Joint Library Committee Of the
Senate and House probably will meet
early this week to receive the report
of David Lynn. architect of the Cap
itol, on plans for the transfer of some
Of the statues from Statuary Hall to
new locations in the corridors OF the
Capitol Building.
Congress directed that such steps be
taken to relieve the weight load on the
floor of the Hall of Fame. Each State
is allowed by law to place two statues
in the hall, and, although the hall at
present is well filled with statuary, 4
considerable number of States have not
yet filled their quota.
The Fine Arts Commission joined
Mr.. Lynn recently in a survey of the
Capitol. at which time 1t was recoEl-
mended that some OF the statues be
placed in the long corridor extending
through the building on the first floor
The fine arts group a few days ago
made formal report to Mr.. Lynn, who

SURVEY TO BEGIN
AS RENTS ARE CUT
Realty Board to Use Ques-
tionnaire to Determine
Apartment Levels.

While some apartment building oper-
ators announced new rent reductions
effective Yesterday, the washington Real
Estate Board tomorrow will begin a
comprehensive survey of Washington S
apartment housing situation. with a
view to compiling data on which to
base consideration CT further adjust
ments.
This study, according to H. Clifford
Bangs, president of the organization,
viii begin with the widespread distribu-
tion of QUESTIONABLE among apart
ment house owners, requesting infor-
mation relative to rent trends during
the last u months, cost Of operation
and maintenance, percentage of vacan-
cies and similar data.
The material thus gathered. 1t was
stated, will be placed at the disposition
of the special committee named by the
board during the last week to consider
protests from tenants regarding rents
with an idea to recommending adjust
mentS.
Studies Being Made.
With a few of the apartment build
ing managing agencies announcing rent
reductions averaging ga per cent-the
extent of the additional Government
pay cut which went into effect yester-
day-by some of the owners, others made
known that studies and negotiations
with landlords were being undertaken
looking to the possibility of rent re-
ductions.
The number of individual houses af-
fected by rent cuts announced yester-
day was believed, to be upward of Is
or 80. Most of these declare the re-
ductions as compared with a year ago
total Is per cent, or in keeping with
the downward trend Of Government
pay.
In many instances. Mr.. Bangs
pointed out, the buildings are not in a
position to stand rent reductions, due
to high fixed charges with which they
are burdened, such as taxes and inter-
est rates.
Would Avoid Foreclosures.
"It is not the intention of the Real
Estate Board to force the landlords
into the hands of mortagors," he
declared. There has already been far
too many foreclosures and there are
today too many banks and finance
companies in the real estate business" ="
Real estate men contended, during
the recent rent investigation by the
Senate, that they were faced with
unfair burdens of crushing taxes and
high rates of interest, and that reduc-
tion in all fixed charges was necessary
not only from the standpoint of the
owner, but in the interest Of the ten
ants as we'll
Among the elements entering into
rent making which have not been
reduced, according to Charles j. Rush,
executive secretary of the realtors
body, are taxes, interest charges, water
and power rates. The latter has be-
come an increasingly important ele-
ment, he said, in view Of the demand
for electrical refrigeration which, III
most instances. Is on the house current.
Additional operating costs have resulted
from the apartment owners efforts to
satisfy demands for more service, to
keep pace with modern trends.
