Public Works Loans
Needed to Cut Relief Roll

Although Congress has passed the bill authorizing the District
to borrow $1075Ooo from the Public Works Administration
for the construction Of necessary local improvements the city
still has long way 60 before obtaining the money.
The Public Works Administration is understood have be-
fore applications which would require several times the
amount of funds which about to become available.
Included among these is the Districts original request for
$2000000 which, presumably will be cut to the
authorized by the recent congressional act
IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT ADMINISTRATOR ICKEs
WILL FIND IT POSSIBLE TO EXPEDITE ACTION UPON
THE DISTRICT 8 REQUEST AND THAT HE WILL BE ABLE
TO GRANT THE FULL AMOUNT AUTHORIZED BY CON
GREss

relief rolls and the amount which being expended to for

be done to relieve the condition Of the unemployed in the

THE CITY GOVERNMENT, AIDED BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS POURING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AN
NUALLY INTO RELIEF. THAT CANNOT 60 ON FOREVER

ING FOR THEIR LIVING THAN OBTAINING THE DOLE
By granting the amount asked for municipal improvements
the Public Works Administration would make possible strong
effort to cut down these relief rolls.
Unless construction is started the big projects
tempated in the loan authorization It is difficult to any
great reduction in the relief rolls in the very future
Administrator Ices has on several occasions expressed him
self being in favor Of the plan for construction Of
disposal plant which would eliminate the pollution Of the
Potomac River. ...-
That indeed an estimabe project and one which would
pay direct returns upon the eight nine millions of dollars
which it would cost.
It is generally anticipated that the Public Works Admnistra
ton will speedily approve the loan contemplated for this
purpose.
The other projects included in the authorization bill
equally important despite the fact that they said not
appeal strongly to Mr. Ickes the disposal plant.
THERE SHOULD BE NO HESITATION ABOUT AP-
PROVING THE LOAN FOR THE HOSPITAL FOR ADULT
TUBERcULos1s PATIENTS. THAT INSTITUTION Is
vTTALLY NECESSARY NOT ONLY TO CARE FOR PRES
ENT SUFFERERS, BUT TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF
THE DISEASE IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The District will have available small sum for starting
plans for the hospital and it the fervent hope the people

Demand for Foulois Dismissal
Reveals Ignorance of Law
Bu James T. Williams, Jr.
By T. E. Powers
: James T. Williams, Jr.

That the House objected to
this additional authority being
given to the Secretary Of War
and the Senate bill was thus
amended to meet the objections
Of the House. At that time the
House Committee on Military
Affairs was attempting to COM
pei the Secretary Of War to re-
tain as chief of branch an Off
Ger whom he wished to relieve.
If Secretary Dern should
carry out the recommendation
that he remove the chief of the
Army Air Corps without delay"
he would be guilty of a VIOLA
ton of the law and could be
held to strict accountability by
the courts.
The only way the Secretary
Of War can remove a chief of
branch is by ordering him to be
cOurt-martiaIed. If the court
finds the officer guilty of con-
duct that would warrant his re-
mOval, then the Secretary of
War, by approving the findings,
can remove him.
Either the subcommittee
guilty of making this lawless
recommendation was ignorant
of the fact that only the Presi-
dent can remove chief of branch
Of the Army or this subcommit-
tee was too timid to address
it's recommendation directly to
the President and risk a repri'
mand at his hand for attempt
ing to trespass upon the consti-
tutional authority and response

Chief.

born.
Finally the grizzled Army officer
spoke to the chief in somewhat the
following words:
If there Is one among you old
enough to remember me when ! was
a young man, that one would tell you
to listen to me and consider well what
the Great White Father bids you do
Go to your oldest squaws and ask
them II any Of them can remember a
young brave who once was my friend"
The next day at the poW-wow there
was a movement in the ranks of the
Indians when the Army commander
asked If they had found one of their
tribe who remembered him. Two
braves came through the throng lead
ing an aged. blind Indian, who was
SO old he scarcely could walk. The
colonel Immediately recognized him as
the warrior he had known many years
before and at his first words the old
Indian recognized his white friend
He counseled the wandering redskins
to abide by whatever the white chief
said. and they submitted to being cor
rallied and taken to Fort Meade.
Many are the memories of Col
Dodge, who, although himself in the
sunset of life. has the appearance Of
man 20 years younger than he really
is. These memories come to him in
the cool of the evening when he sits
in his lodge and when the purplish
cleaning of Virginia twilight settles
down over the rolling hills and the
Potomac becomes a broad bend of
silver.

n n EMORIES of almost half a
M century at the most hal
VI lowed shrine of America roll
/ i back the curtain of years
this week for Col. Harrison
H. Dodge, superintendent and Gus
todian of Mount Vernon, home Of
George Washington.
Yesterday, Memorial day, marked
the beginning of his fiftieth year of
supervision of the historic mansion
and its environments, and ghosts of
the eighteenth century trod down the
musty lane of all the years that have
gone since the Father of His Country
lived in the white Colonial house
looking down on the Potomac.
The giant ash and tulip poplar
that Washington himself planted still
rear themselves above a twentieth
century people that come to view and
revere his memory. The precise rows
of thick box hedge which he set out
with his own hands evoke the ad-
miration of hundreds of visitors daily,
as does the lovely parterre adjoin-
ing the flower garden in the rear.
And the famed Nelly Custis. more
generally known as The Wishing
Rose" is ready to bloom again.
KNOWS Every Tree.
Perhaps the greatest living author
ity on the estate of the first Presi-
dent of the United States, Col. Dodge
knows every tree and every plant on
the vast domain. Not only that, but
during the 40 years he has watched
over its broad acres and buildings
he has brought about restoration
of originality until today the noted
shrine stands as it did when Wash
made by nephew of Washington
have been rectified under Col. Dodge's
direction, and even the new shingles
on the mansion and Surrounding
houses come from the same place
and are of exactly the same pattern as
those the first Chief Executive bought
when he built the home.
Col. Dodge doesn't like publicity
He doesn't like to talk about him
self He has devoted the greater
part of his 81 years to restoring and
keeping Mount Vernon in a state of
original beauty and decorum, but he
himself will take no credit for it. He
feels that the American people should
render their thanks to the Mount
Vernon Ladies' Association of the
Union, under whose guidance the
estate is maintained as a national
shrine.
Alert and Enthusiastic.
1t is this association which for 40
years has commissioned Col. Dodge
as sole supervisor of Mount Vernon,
and though the task has required in
defatigable effort and tedious atten-
ton. Col Dodge today is as enthu-
siaStic and as alert as he was when
he first took over the duties as super
intendent.
He knows every one of the many
employees who assist in looking after
the place. and calls each one by MS

MLEOD BILL WINS
"EMPTY VICTORY
Petition Would Force Vote,
but Adjournment May

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Supporters of the bill to return
about $1,000, 100000 to depositors in
closed banks won victory yesterday,
but administration leaders contended
1t was an empty one.
Late in the afternoon the necessary
145th signature was obtained to a pc
tition to force a vote June II on the
Mcleod bill which would direct the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
to buy all assets of closed national
banks and pay off depoSitors.
However, plans to adjourn the ses-
sion next week and the parliamentary
situation were looked to by admins
tration forces. which opposed the bill.
to prevent its passage, and probably
even forestall House vote.
UnfavOrably Reported.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Mcleod, Republican, of
Michigan. 1t was unfavorably report
ed by the Banking Committee and
never given a top place on the calen-
dar by the Rules Committee
A petition was filed to bring the bill

mittee's failure to act The petition

resentative Ransley. Republican, of
Pennsylvania yesterday became the

Under House rules a discharge pc
tition may not be considered the last
six days of a session. House leaders
plan to introduce Monday a resolution
calling for adjournment June 9.
Opposed by President.
Even though the Senate did not ac-
cept that resolution, that body could
hold it and subsequently amend it to
make adjournment as late as June IT
without permitting a House vote on
the Mcleod bill.
President Roosevelt has opposed the
Mcleod plan on several occasions.
Secretary Morgenthau estimated it
would cost the R. F. c. 81 800 000. 600
to buy assets in closed national and
State banks. House leaders, by the
use of parliamentary twists, have
beaten every fort to force a vote.
The petition has been held by
Speaker Rainey to be complete, al
though one member, Representative
Brumm, Republican, of Pennsylvania
has died since he signed Had Rainey
ruled Brumm'S signature void, Repre-
sentative Mclean. Republican, of New

"The Wishing Rose"
For the younger folk who visit
Mount Vernon-and especially the
young women-Col Dodge has a rare
and intriguing feature which he al
ways points out with a seriousness
of tone and a sly twinkle In his
eyes. 1t is THE Wishing Rose" and
when the colonel tells the girls about
1t their hearts beat faster.
THE Wishing Rose" Is the famous
Nelly Custis bush planted by Wash
ington. It blooms each year. and
tradition has it that whoever makes
a wish while standing in front OF
the bush will have it granted. In
quite serious manner the colonel will
tell you that he has had hundreds
of letters from young women who
have made a wish before The Wish
ing Rose" and these letters state that
the secret desire has come true.
1t was in front of the original
Wishing Rose" that Maj. Lawrence
Lewis asked Eleanor Parke Custis,
known as Nelly, to become his bride.
Nelly was the daughter OF one OF
Washington's adopted children. The
rose was named for her, but through
more than a hundred years of legend
among the colored workers on the
estate it has come to be known as

Was Once Drafted.
Although Col. Dodge has never been
in the Army, he has had the thrilling
experience of being drafted into serv-
ice in the last outbreak of Indians in

statue of himself was among the
birthday gifts to Pope Plus as he be-

The Pope spent the day quietly, and
because it conceded with the feast
of Corpus Christi did not receive any
large groups in general audience.
The statuette presented to him is a

Another gift was a bronze statue,
three feet high of Madonna del Crop
pa by the sculptor Mistruzzi.
