Moore belongs to the unobtrusive type whose ability doesn't get real recognition until he has been around for some time. The late Ross Youngs, John McGraw's fav- orite outfielder, was the same sort, and he, too, came from Texas.
 Moore's hitting and all-around play formed one of the few bright spots, outside of the pitching, dur ing the recent slump of the world champions at bat.

S260,682 ASKED
FOR D, {. AID

Federal Emergency Relief
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins
will be asked to authorize a grant
of $260,682 to the District from
Federal relief funds, it was an
nounced today by George S.
Wilson, Director of Public Welfare.
The request, which will be for
warded to Hopkins either today
or tomorrow, represents one
third of the amount expended
for local relief work during the
last quarter of 1888. Under rules
Of the Federal Emergency Relief
Administration each State and
the District is entitled to- this
amount from Federal funds.
The need for the money is ex-
pected to be greater as a result
of the recent order cutting the
pay of Civil Works employees.
Since there is a large number of
day laborerS on the CWA rolls,
many of whom already are re,
ceiving relief in addition to their
CWA pay, it is expected the de-
mand for relief will increase
when the pay of these workers
is cut.

MRS. JACOBS
By international News Service

Prominent members of the
American Medical Association to-
day voiced opposition to proposed
legislation legalizing dissemina-
tion of birth control information,
charging it would degrade the
nations youth and contribute to
immortality.
DR.. H. j. Crossen told the House
Judiciary Committee that the
American Medical Association has
taken no part in furthering
birth control bill now before the
committee. He said:
"ThiS is not a physicians
bill. Birth control will bring
disease, i'll health and misery.
1t will have a degrading infIu-
ence on the young men and
women of our nation"
DR.. Howard A. Kelly, of Johns
Hopkins University, told the COM
mittee that dissemination of birth
control knowledge and apparatus
would increase immortality.
An appeal to all women inter-
ested in "any form" of welfare
work to affiliate themselves with
movements for world peace and
for birth control was made today
by Mrs. Sinclair Jacobs, of At
lanta, a delegate to two confer
ences in washington this week
dealing with both these problems.

Mrs. Jacobs, a pretty auburn

AAA MAY AUDIT
BOOKS Of D. c.
DIARIES
Promise Farmers Data Needed
As Basis for Determining
Fair Prices

Dairy farmers in the Washing
ton territory have been promised
that Government accountants will
audit the books of local milk
distributors if the farmers desire
to find out what happens to their
milk once it leaves their hands.
This was disclosed today by j.
H. Mason, chief of the dairy Sec
ton of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, who stated
that such an audit, which would
assist in fixing fair prices to be
paid the producers. would need
to be made in conjunction with
a milk marketing agreement for
this area.
Farmers Seek Plant
A group of nearby farmers al
ready has sought his advice, Ma.
son revealed, on a proposal that
organized producers take over a
local milk distributing plant, with
a daily capacity of 10000 gallons,
and run it themselves to obtain
better prices for the 10000 gal.
Ions Of surplus milk they produce
each day.
Although Mason stated that, in
his opinion, this represented too
small a capacity to make the
scheme successful, he declined to
comment further because he
knew so little about the Wash.
ington situation" and would need
several weeks to study the matter.
Fair Price Is Goal
The AAA will not guarantee
the farmer his cost of produc-
ton, he asserted, but will try
to assure him "a fair price, on
a parity basis with prices the
farmers must pay for the com
modities he buys, and not out of
line with prices of butter, cheese,
etc."
Neither will the AAA make it
compulsory for any producer to
participate GiIfg the forthcoming
milk production control plan, he
added, although it was indicated
that if a processing tax is
placed on, milk. only those pro.
ducers who limit their production
to the Government quotas will
receive any benefits.

TAG DOCTOR|NG
EXPLAINED

Next time Richard MilIbrook
gets new tags for his car, he will
not put them on top of a stove.
Millbrook, who is 1S years old,
and lives in the TOO block of
Riggs Pl. N. w., did that with
his new 1884 tags. The heat
melted the paint, and Millbrook
attempted to paint them over.
But his job was not so good,
for when a traffic policeman ar.
rested him on a speed charge,
he also placed a charge of un-
clean tags against him.
Judge Isaac R. Hit, suspended
sentence on that count, and fined
Millbrook SIS on the speed charge.

RATE CUT
SEEN NEAR D. K.

Approval of the proposed re.

by the Potomac Electric Power
Company for 1884 is expected to
be given tomorrow by the Pub.
lie Utilities Commission.
The schedules provide for re-
ductions totalling more than
1919, 900, nearly half of which
will be applied to the benefit Of
domestic customers.
The feature of the schedule,
as explained by company Off.

brackets to make it desirable for
householders to do away with
separate meters for cooking pur.
poses.
The cuts for home lighting are:
First so kilowatt hours, un-

SUPPORT ASKED.
FOR NEW SPAN

Support of Representative Mary
7. Norton (DD of New Jersey,
chairman of the House District
Committee, for an appropriation
OF $4,000 for preparing plans
for a new Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge in the Northeast was
sought today by the Washington
Board of Trade.
In letter to Mrs. Norton,
board officials said that amount
would appear in a D. C. deficiency
bill later this session. The bridge,
they declared, is in such poor
condition that a new one is
needed Immediately.
The new bridge should be, the
letter stated, 70 feet wide and
carry larger water mains across
the river than does the present
structure.

generation removed from the
opening Of the World War. The
year 1854 will finish off a sec

simple one.
Then the question expanded
in my mind to become: What
achievements of the generation
1914-34 will have an effect on
the lives of human beings after
1854? It is, of course, guess
work; but, so far as our guesses
are intelligent, the question may
be important, because, if we
know what is going to carry
through until 1854, we also know
what things to neglect and what
things to take care Of.
"Will Mot Ought"
You will note that there is
no moral Ought" in the ques-
ton. For instance, it is quite
possible that the opera made
out of Emperor Jones" will be
produced in 1854 because opera
houses have the habit of keep
ing things alive in their reper-
torres. It is quite possible that
'Three Little Pigs" will be fire.

A Hard Choice

Painters and sculptors and
composers of music have the
same desperate choice. If they
are in the popular style Of the
moment their works may not
last longer than the style does.
And if their works are not in
the popular style they may get
no hearing whatever, and their
only chance of survival is that
somebody will drag them out of
obscurity so years too late.
There are not many of these.
The "Rubaiyat" and "Moby
Dick" are conspicuous excep-
tionS. In general, writer's whose
works remain known were fairly
well known in their own life.

In any case, I am interested
in gueSses, and if anybody sends
me a guess that seems con-
spicuously sound I might go to
the extreme of presenting him
or her with a book which, in
my own opinion, has a fair
chance of survival. But this
isn't exactly a prize contest. It
will only be an expression Of
gratitude on my part.
The Washington times., 1934-01-19

uoI11C Changes.
My own guesses are 50 COM
pletely unflattering that I pre-
fer not to mention names
that is in the field of writing
particularly. We have been
hailing masterpieces for a gen.
Grafton and works which will
last forever, but I am full Of
doubts. It is not only, I think,
our most popular and best-sell-
ing noveliStS who are going to
be well forgotten; I think that
nine out Of ten of the works
acclaimed by the highly critical
as contributions to world litera-
ture will have had their day and
disappear at the end Of, say ten
years.
Ballets Last
I thought of this the other
night in seeing for the third
time a work which has hand
somely pulled through one
twenty-year period-the ballet
"Petrouchka." Ballets, like
operas, have a good chance Of
survival-they are good risks for
the insurance men. But what
impressed me most about "Pe-
trouchka" was that it seems as
young as it had been twenty
years ago and made me and
dozens Of other young people
feel as young as we had been
then. "Petrouchka," of course,
is based on a simple legend,
and our writer's in the last
twenty years have not cared
much for simplicity and have
not had any special faith which
made it possible for them to
create legends,
