EMPLOYEES ASK
TRAVEL FUNDS
RESTORATION

Restoration of transportation
allowances to various groups Of
District employees, and classifica-
ton of District emergency relief
employees are favored by the Amer.
lean Federation of Government
Employees. it was stated today at
national headquarters in connec-
ton with presentation of the pro-
gram before the District Commit
tee of the House.
1t was pointed out that three
groups of District employees. the
electrical, building and plumbing
inspectors, suffered severely in
the matter of tranSportat ton al
loWances under recent economy
legislation.
Prior to the fiscal year 1884
they received an allowance of ST
per day for auto upkeep. They
provide their own cars and often
are required to travel outside the
District.
Under tne economy legislation
these workers receive so street car
tokens a month, whereas the &C.
tual cost of maintaining their
cars, they say, is between $25 and
$50 a month. The force of inspec-
tors has been reduced through the
economy program. it is said, and
each MAJ is required to cover
more territory thar formerly.
AS for the emergency relief en-
ployes, an agreement was made by
District officials that the classifi-
cation act of 1923 would be ap-
piled to them. but this has not
been done in all cases, it is
claimed.
The Federation also seeks re-
duction of long hours in effect at
Gallinger Hospital and the Dis
trict Jail.

BERLIN, Dec. "a G.N.So.-BetE
are on that before the end ol
1885, Hitler will stand before
hundreds of thousands at Saar
brucken as focal center OF a great
Nazi show celebrating return oil
the Saar to Germany.
To reach that platform, he ha!
to vault successfully not only Jan
uary 13, but also a subsequent
danger period" beginning the mo
ment the plebiscite offers 100000
Saarlanders the choice OF rejoin
ing their fatherland, of switching
over to France or of retaining
their status quo.
For the tussle over the Saar
politically speaking, is not SO
much France against Germany as
France and a powerful foreign
anti-Nazi combination against Hit
Ter. On those grounds Hitler is
facing the battle of a lifetime.
Germans See Return
Germans of the Third Reich
and the Saar take it for granted
that 1000 years in history and
blood cannot be vanquiShed by po-
litical arguments and that, there
fore, the plebiscite is certain to
return substantial majority in
favor of Germany.
They declare that not even
France wants the Saar as its il
legitimate child, and that status
quo vote would merely result in
hopeless tangling of Europe'S
political strings.
In German eyes there exists in
reality no status quo solution in
the Saar. They view it as a
clumsy vote-catching trick, a
smokescreen spread by anti-Hitler
elements. Germans maintain a
status quo would be tangle in
stead of a solution, swelling inter
national disputes by creating a
politically and economically de-
pendent buffer state under the
league, working Utopia for Marx
lists, Communists and all sorts of
troublemakers.
An indication of the gravity
with which Germany views the
situation is seen in the fact that
extraordinary steps have been
taken to keep the peace. Even
the heated Saar propaganda un-
leashed in the patriotic German
press has felt the brake. and
nothing, if Hitler has his way,
will be done to prejudice achieve
ment of the solution that Ger
many wants.

the whole setup is different in
the Cafritz family-that is one
of the reasons why he sells so
many houses.
All the Cafritz folks are loyal
to their employer and the organi'
zation and they look forward to
the family party each year and
actually enter into the planning
of the affair
For instance, few days before
the banquet, Mr.. Cafritz-Who
likes chicken-called one of the
young ladies and asked whether
filet mignon or chicken salad
should be the chief attraction on
the menu. The young lady in
sisted that she never liked to eat
chicken in public.
Another young lady was called
upon to break down the majority
and she averred that she would
hate to eat chicken while she
wore a new evening gown. The
third young lady had an equally
good excuse, for preferring fllet
mignon, so Mr.. Cafritz provided
filet mignon. because it was really
family party. And the steak
was so tended that they had to
put a piece of bacon around each
piece to hold it together.
Master of Ceremonies Adlai
Mann helped to make the party
different with the nice manner
he employed in calling on folks
to make impromptu speeches. He
would recite flattering little jim
giles about each person and get
him to feeling good before he put
the finger on him for a speech.
Barney Robin exhibited excel
lent movies of the organization
outing last summer, depicting the
boss in some relaxing moments.
1t was a grand party, radiant
with goodfellowship, fine loyalty
and Christmas spirit, to say moth
ing of downright devotion-Rus-
sell Conn and his bride were
there and Mr.. Cafritz is prac-
tically bridegroom.
Grand things were said about
Mr.. Cafritz. All the spoken words
were true but-gracious sakes,
no man lives who is quite every.

said about Morris every time she
looked at him.

1t is not a far-fetched statement
that from all appearances at this
time, the election of two years
ago that brought out some of the
oldtimers in wheelchairs, the next
meeting will fill the Chamber of

flowing.
incidentally, the meeting is to
take place in the Chamber of

have so many other meetings
scheduled that night that no
place could be found in that
expansive building for the law
yers to hold their meeting.
Some of the witty members of
the Young Turk" element are
saying it will be a good thing
there is no Ships Cabin nor
Cocktail Lounge in the Chamber
of Commerce Building-so the
members will have to stay put
until the votes are taken.
Judge Harry F. Kennedy, who
is "Pontius PLATE" to the colored
gentry frequenting Alexandria's
Police Court, altered his stern
demeanor Saturday and appeared
in his proper guise.
Judge Kennedy was Santa Claus
himself at the Kiwanis Club par.
ty and distributed all the gifts to
his brother Kiwanians-toys, gim-
cracks and other things that &C.
tually tempted the members to
open the packages and enjoy the
knick-knacks and bric-a-brac.
It was arranged, however, that
all the presents would be placed
in baskets for distribution to the
poor children of the little city.
So Judge Kennedy was Santa
Claus twice.

Alexandria lawyer, associated with
Randall Cation, does his stuff to-
night.
Mr.. Clarke is president of the
Belle Haven Citizens Association,
and will conduct the formalities
incident to the lighting of the

N 'LEOD WORKS
ON NEW BANK
LEGISLATION

Renewing his spirited fight for
relief to depositors in closed
banks, Representative Clarence j.
Mcleod, (R0, of Michigan, was
at work today on several bank
bills which he will introduce at
the coming session of Congress.
Designed to extend the maxi
mum possible degree of relief to
the thousands of depositors in
closed banks Throughout the
country, the bills contain provi.
sionS making the, loans of the
T construction Finance Corpora.
ton to closed banks mandatory
in charac and not permissive
as they are at present.
Acts AS Receiver
High cost of receiverships
would also be abolished under
terms of the Mcleod bills now
being prepared. Depositors would
receive their money Immediately
and the RFC in turn would act
as a coordinated receiver for al
closed banks.
One of the salient features of
the Mcleod bills being drawn up
is that receivers for the banks
could apply to the RFC for an
outright purchase of the assets
of the banks. At present most
of the relief for depoSitors in
closed banks is up to the discre-
ton of the RFC, Mr.. Mcleod said.
Signs Encouraging
Mr.. Mcleod said:
"In my conversations with
many of the new members and
veteran representatives, find
a most encouraging degree of
increased sentiment in behalf of
justice for depOSitOrS of closed
bar;kS.
eve are calling a conference
of the members in sympathy
with bank depositOrs' payOff

ter thoroughly when Congress
cOnveneS next month. In the
meantime. l have prepared sew

provide maximum possible re-
cOvery benefits through further
relief to depositOrS."

Announcement of the American
