Nye Gets Support
OF President for
Continued Inquiry

on It's work. The original appropria-
ton Of $4,000 has been expended. He
disclosed that President Roosevelt
used his influence in helping the COM
mittee obtain the original $4,000 ap-
preparation.
Reporting intense interest by the
people in the senate committees
study, Nye estimated 10000 letters
had been received by the committee
since September /.
He added that many British officials
were asking for transcripts OF the
committees record.
The committees investigators went
back to work Wednesday in prepara-
ton for new public hearings early In
January.
Their first assignment was to carry
out further inquiry into the destruc-
ton Of income tax returns Of men,
bers Of the world war industries
board and others.
One Of those whose returns was
found to have been destroyed was
Bernard M. Baruch, former chairman
Of the board, and now head Of the
committee created by the president
to take the profit out Of war.
Baruch offered the committee q
copy of his return and criticized the
investigators for the disclosure. He
said he had nothing to do with the
destruction Of his return. Internal
revenue bureau officials said congress
authorized the burning Of old re-
turns.

Lands Safely After
Propeller Is Broken

New York, Dec. 26.-(F-A whirline
propeller blade that cracked In mid
air put Capt. Harry Manning, sea
hero. decidedly on the spot In an air
plane flight over Roosevelt Field, L. /.
but by skillful maneuvering he man

Capt. Manning, an experienced flier
with more than 200 hours to his credit
had borrowed an open cockpit plane
for . short flight Tuesday and was
5000 feet In the air when the propel-
Ter cracked. He tried to shut off the
engine but the ground wire to the
magnetic had been shaken off and the
motor kept droning away.
Equipped with q parachute, he said
after the flight that he had been
tempted to bail out" but he feared
the plane would crash on houses be-
low 50 he continued In flight with 1t
rapidly going to pieces. The cowling
began to rip and the gas line broke,
showering Capt. Manning with gas
oline.
He stuck to the plane and made an
excellent three point landing a half
hour later.

1T was not until recent months that
we began to make progress"
Plomasen criticized distribution Of
federal funds by projects among
counties on the basis Of population. :
"Such distribution" he said while
it distributes the work over the state
and accomplishes the primary purpose
Of unemployment relief does not al
ways make for economy In construc-
ton, nor does it always place the I'm
provement where 1t serves the travel

Short projects are much more expen-
sive per mile than those which can be
contracted In considerable lengths. 4
distribution among counties does not
provide enough funds for the main
arteries"
Proposes LEGISLATION
For legislative action. Plomasen rec
commended:
Passage Of q civil service act, to
place all employees of the maintenance
division under civil service, stringently
barring them from actively partici-
pating In politics.
Appropriation Of motor vehicle
funds for the department to match
1885 and 1896 federal aid road appro-
priations, rather than payment Of
motor vehicle collections for bond in

Provision for the highway commits
sioner to appoint deputy commits
sioner, with full power to sign docu-
ments In the absence Of the commits
sioner.
Repeal Of statutory provisions COM
pelling bidders to accompany their
bids on road contracts with both bond
and certified check. Plomasen rec
commended the law be amended to
make mandatory only the certified
check.

commission to license, investigate, reg

The large construction program dur

edged. A total OF $780, 900 in relief
labor from FERA and 5000. 900 cash

FOR PROGRESS ON
FEDERAL HIGHWAYS
Plomasen Reports Past Yea,
Busiest Ever Experience
ed by Department

North Dakota in the past year has
advanced to ninth in the nation from
the standpoint Of progress made in
road work under federal appropria-
tons, the annual report Of the state
highway commissioner showed We'd
nesday.
The past year was declared "the
busiest" ever experienced by the de-
partment by T. q. Plomasen, state
highway commissioner.
Five-point legislation affecting the
state highway department was rec
commended by Plomasen in his report,
together with an analysis Of work
done under federal funds.
Plomasen recommended no increase
OF road mileage until the present sys.
TEN Is improved. Before going into q
larger system, including roads Of light
traffic, our main highways should be
reconstructed SO that snow trouble
will be largely eliminated
North Dakota is behind neighboring
states In amount Of dustless surfaced
roads (which should be extended as
soon as possible" He pointed out this
would be Of benefit to the traveller, but
would also reduce maintenance cost
on the gravel which unless oiled wears
and blows away rapidly"
Asked for More Speed
Appropriations during the past year
we're large. Plomasen said. and the
bureau Of public roads demanded more
speed than our forces could deliver.
They insisted on strengthening and
increasing Of our personnel before
they would resume relations with the
highway department after the suspen-
sion Of payment which followed the
conviction Of certain state Officials on
a federal charge. Plomasen referred
to the conviction Of Frank A. Vogel,
then state highway commissioner, in
July with deposed Gov. william Ian.
ger, on charges Of conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States government.
Because Of salary cuts and employ
ment of highway engineers by federal
agencies, the staff was crippled for =
time, the report points out" It was
necessary to increase salaries and to
go outside the state to get sufficient
number Of men," Plomasen reported.

Washing Machines Are

Changes in the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration rules reported in WASH
ington statement in your issue of Oc-
tober reveal that washing machines
are barred from this type of Govern
ment aid to the householder.
As such articles as awnings and lino-
leum can be purchased with Wash

stand why the home owner thlx is
being barred from enjoying the tse OF
a family washer, and inferentia1ttthe
family ironer.
The records of independent dnynce
companies reveal that the percehtage
of delinquency and losses among in
stallment buyers Of home washers and
ironers Is far lower than in the ease
of many other types of time purchases.
The Government may have had an
other plan in mind, however. Wash

crate priced that their purchase can
be accomplished out Of the average

Needless Horn Blowing.

While not particularly dangerous
of all the bad driving habits" of
which mention has been made lately
by the police one of the commonest and
most annoying is that of the persistent
honking Of horns in temporary jams
There is no earthly reason for footing
away while waiting for the jam to
break. 1t does no good whatever. and
1t irritates everybody save the tooter
The man in front cannot be made to
move his car il the car in front OF
him is stationary. And so on, up the
line. Everybody knows that there is q
jam. and everybody is anxious to get
out Of it, But the footing goes on
to raise a ciamor that is without cause
and without e=ct.
A tale Is told OF an English motorist
who, applying in shop for q horn,
was asked what tone he would like to
have. and he replied: Something
sneering." This seems to be the tone
Of most Of the needless honking tha,

Maurice 0tterback.

In saving the life of young
woman yesterday Maurice Otterback,
one Of Washington's most beloved and
valuable citizens, lost his own. His
last action, induced by thoughtfulness
for another, was characteristic of his
entire career.
A native Of Washington, Mr.. Otter
back was indefatigable in his endeav-
ors for its welfare and advancement.
He was identified with organizations
which represent the citizenship and
which strive for its prosperity, enlight-
eminent, character and culture. A
modest man, he cared not how he
served, so long as his endeavors made
for the best interests of the community
he loved so dearly. Always ready for
duty in any capacity for Washington's
sake, he was dependable to make the
most of any opportunity, without
thought for his own credit, so long as
his fellow citizens were helped. In his
banking career, covering a period Of
more than a quarter of century. he
was the friend of all whom he served,
their adviser and counselor.
The shocking circumstances Of his
death were the exemplar of his char
acter. 1t was a needless tragedy, one Of
the many that have made the streets
of Washington of late years place of
terror. Perhaps there was no one to
blame, save for thoughtless haste.
That the victim should have been the
most considerate and careful adds
to the bitterness of the tragedy.
No higher tribute can be paid to
such a citizen than that he died as he
had lived, a helper of his fellows.

goes on here in the streets Of WASH
ington much of the time. The regular
flow Of trafic calls for cooperation
on the part of all drivers, and there
is nothing cooperative in the tap
ping of the horn button, which is as
much as to say: Get out of the way,
you slow poke, and make room for
me-"
City life is noisy enough without
the addition of such a clamor as that
which arises through the impatience
Of motorists. Furthermore, this un-
necessary horn blowing lessons the
value of all signals. The horn should
be used only to give warning Of close
approach in a situation where the
following car can properly pass the
preceding one, or to arrest the atten-
tion of a pedestrian who is in the line
of trafic to give him chance to pro-
tect himself. When horns are used
for the perverse pleasure of an ex-
hibitionist driver it may lead to an
accident rather than prevent one.
