SHARING COSTS
HIT BY NJ CARL

When a Federal official begs a
free ride, or joins a motor party
on an expense-Sharing basis, he
cannot collect mileage from the
Government, even though it was
an official trip, says Comptroller
General j. R. McCarl in a de"
cision being distributed today.
He made the ruling in the
case of three Coast Guard Off
GERS, transferred from California
to Connecticut, who Travelled to-
gether in the car of one of them,
the shared cost being only half
for each what train fare would
have been.
McCarl ruled that the law
granting option to travel by
auto specified privately owned"
car, and only the officer owning
this car in question was granted
the travel allowance.

Committee Chairman Seeks
To Avoid Last Minute
Rush at Offices

Acting to prevent any de-
ficiency Of rooms to accommo-
date inaugural visitors, Mrs. Blair
Bannister, chairman of the inau.
gural committee on housing and
hospitality, today appealed to
District citizens for immediate
cooperation.
At the rate which rooms are
now being listed, Mrs. Bannister
said, it is almost a certainty that
a last-minute rush of registering
rooms will take place. Mrs. Ban.
mister emphasized the fact that
the services of her committee are
entirely voluntary, with no charge
for the registration of rooms.
The committee maintains a head
quarters in the Willard Hotel.
Want $4,000 Rooms
Mrs. Bannister stated that the
current room registration will care
for several thousand, but the com.
mittee expects a demand for
rooms for at least $4,000 persons.
Applications from 18 bands and
an equal number of organizations
to participate in the third and
fourth divisions Of the inaugural
parade have been approved by Col.
E. M. Watson, chairman of the
parade committee.
The committee announced that
IN addition to the marching and
riding units, a special float has
been assigned a place in the
fourth devision which will feature
a delegation of movie stars. These
actors are coming here under di-
rection Of j. l.. Warner on a Bet

them are James Cagney, Bebe

Three Own Autos,

to KnOw 1t

Three of the eight automo-
biles awarded at the 1893 auto
mobile show at the Washington
Auditorium last week remained
unclaimed today, probably be-
cause their new owners did not
know the state Of their prosper
ity.
More than 10000 persons
viewed the new models during
the show. The largest crowd
attended yesterday. Holders of
the winning tickets for the
three unclaimed cars will be re-
quired to get in touch with show
officials to claim their prizes.

SCHOOL HEADS
To AID HUNGRY
CHILDREN
Facilities Will Be Offered to
Groups Providing Food
For UndernouriShed

Under pressure of Congressional
investigation, school officials in
executive session today agreed to
give what aid they could in the
campaign to feed hungry children
in the Washington public schools.
At meeting called today by
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin.
tendent of schools, it was agreed
to make available facilities in
scattered cooking centers" in the
schools throughout the city for
use of welfare agencies and
groups which may desire to give
aid to hungry children and their
families.
Control Centralized
It was also decided at the con-
ference to re-establish a centraliz-
ing committee representing the
District Congress of Parents and
Teachers and the Public Schools
to distribute financial RESPONSE
bility for providing mid-morning
milk and cracker lunches to pub
lie school pupils.
Mrs. Joseph N. Saunders, presi-
dent of the Parent Teachers group.
and DR.. Stephen E. Kramer, first
assistant superintendent Of schools,
were named for the committee.
It was pointed out at the con
ference that to undertake the
provision of anything other than
milk and cracker lunches would
entail the setting up Of additional
facilities and employment Of ad-
ditional help, creating, it was
said, a larger financial burden
for the schools.
DIR. BallOu AsSailed
The subject was brought up last
week when Mrs. Eleanor Patter-
son, editor and publisher of the
Washington Herald, told the Sen
ate Committee on Banking and
Currency that DR.. Ballou had
been ohstructing all efforts to
feed hungry children in the
schools.
An appropriation for feeding
the hungry children will be
demanded by Senator Royal S.
Copeland CD of New York, mem
ber of the Senate District Com
mittee and the District subcom-
mittee on appropriations, when
the District supply bill comes to
the Senate, he indicated today.
The New York Senator said the
plight of needy children in the
District was such as to warrant
an appropriation to feed them in
the schools.
Senator Voices Alarm
Pointing out that the number
of undernourished children is in
creasing to a point where it has
become alarming, the Senator,
who is also a physician, declared
he will do everything he can to
insure them healthy life.
Senator Copeland said that
when the appropriation bill for
the District comes to his COM
mittee, he will introduce a bill
carrying the appropriation.
Crying For Food
Although it has been said that
charity agencies are caring suf-
ficiently for these underfed chill
dren, the Senator said he had Wis
tied the emergency relief COM
mittee and had seen numerous
children crying for food.
Senator Copeland said that
undernourishment is becoming so
serious that it is inevitable that
these underfed children will fall
victims to ordinarily minor
diseases, which will become fatal
because of the lack of resistance.

planned that panic is a kind of mass
fear and that in 1929 the people in
the market were swept by the awful
fear that if they sold at an enormous
profit they might lose money. They
held on because everyone else was
hanging on for fear of losing the
additional rise of a point or 10 points,
although most of them had made
more money than they had ever
dreamed of having before. The panic
affected the Government, which
couldn't make up it's mind to check
the fury of speculation; and even
people who did sell out and tucked
away fortunes were oppressed be-
cause they wondered if they hadn't
made q mistake to take their Drofits.
