age Engllshman regards Ameri-
cans as cOusins-but the average
Englishman doesn't care much for
cousins.
Common heritage of race. Gus.
toms, laws and language and all
the oratorical standbys of lectur-
ers, after-dinner speakers and
hands-across-the-sea advocates fail
to explain what the average Eng
lishman thinks of America and
Americans and why he thinks it.
But Amity Suffers
No two nations, it would seem,
have a greater basis for under
standing. Fundamentally, under
standing exists. Specifically,
Anglo-American amity suffers
many hard knocks.
Who won the war? War debts!
The League of Nations, Ellis Is
land, Ireland, rum-running, prohi-
bition, the gold standard, the
world economic conference, the
next world economic conference
these and a multitude of other
controversial subjects have logged
Anglo-American relations the last
Is years.
Speaking something of the
same language-this being admit
ted even by English, who think
that the Oxford accent is uni
versal throughout the British
Isles-John Bull and Uncle Sam
-speak plainly @to~each other. Be-
cause they have a common tongue,
however, kinship and similarity of
viewpoint are assumed that do not
exist.
Too Much Similarity
Viseount Lee of Fareham, who
was one of Teddy Roosevelt's
Rough Riders in the Spanish
American war, speaking at the
American Society's Thanksgiving
day dinner in London. this year,
said that the very similarity of
language created misunderstand-
ing between Britain and America.
Manifold facilities for under
standing exist. The two countries
read each others news, see each
others movies, exchange ship
loads of lecturers, tourists and
books. England gets more of the
tourists, America more lecturers.
Wild and Woolly
Still, the old ideas die hard. The
average Englishman always has
believed that America is a wild
and woolly land. Indians may
have been displaced by machine
cunning gangsters, but the net re-
suit is about the same. Americans
are rough and ready Yankee cous-
ms. often a little uncouth, with
more whoopee than sense in their
makeup.
Americans still are dollar
chasers." and Englishmen con-
tinue to chase the dollar heiresses.
even if the dollars are baloney or
rubber.
They know the potential re-
sources of the United States. In
fact. they know the basic strength
of the nation much better than
they understand superficial Amer
lea. That, perhaps, is a tribute to
the British.
Roosevelt--And Crime
Never has so much American
political and government news
been printed in the English press
as since President Roosevelt's
election. Roosevelt is Americas
biggest personality in British eyes.
But crime still tops all other
news from America. The land of
Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Wal
lace likes its murder mysteries.
American movies make big
English news and dominate British
screens; more than IS percent of
all the movies shown here still
come from Hollywood. Staid Lon
don just now is trying to decide
whether she approves of Mae
West.

BUS SALE PLAN
STATEMENT DUE
Utilities Body to Release
Opinion Tomorrow in
Transportation Deal.

Action on the proposal of the Cap
itoi Transit Co. to buy out the WASH
ington Rapid Transit Co. for $s43. 900
hung fire yesterday as the Public
Utilities Commission prepared state
nent on the subject for release to-
morrow.
Commissioner Riley Z. .Elgen re-
fused to divulge the nature OF the
statement or what would be done
about allowing the purchase. He has
said previously. however, that pub
lie hearing win be held on the matter.
The proposed bus company deal,
which was preached publicly by Presi-
dent John H. Hanna Of the Capital
Transit Co. at the hearings on street
car rerouting last week, has over
shadowed the principal question OF re-
routing. His offer for the bus COM
pany, approved by the Board OF d.
rectors of the Capital Transit Co.,
brought an immediate attack from
william NICK. Clayton, chairman OF
the Public Utilities Committee OF the
Federation OF Citizens Associations,
and from Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts. They considered the price
unreasonable in view Of the fact that
90 per cent Of the bus company stock
had been acquired by the North Amer
lean Co. of New York in 1925 for
s5l6,000, and that the company had
oeen loosing money ever since.
Hanna asked that the question OF
bus purchase be settled before pro-
ceeding with q settlement Of the many
rerouting problems affecting the street
car lines. In this request he was

The big speculation of the day, of course, Is the effect of Rudy Vallee's marital troubles on his radio popularity. With the VagabOnd Lovers sOiled linen hanging on the front page Of every newspaper in the country, there is bound to be some great public reaction, but will 1t be for or against the CrOOner? The outcome of Fay Webb's suit will affect radio in Q big way, for also included fin her complaint are charges against NEG, Fox Films and Rudy's sponsors.
 Rudy, to our way of think. ing, has been extremely clever in preparing for the bIOw-up that was coming sooner or later. Have you noticed how his programs of the past months have been built around entertainment value rather than his own personality? Whether or not you admire Rudy personally you have to admit that his variety hour has had plenty of shOwmanship in it during the past year. Even the cr0Oner's most violent foes have to grant that he has been consistently offering . grand hour of enjoyment.
 As to the final outcome with the public, which is you, it's foolish to venture g prediction. A million feminine hearts went "ker.plOp" when Rudy mar. ried Fay, and no one knows what will happen now that the match is coming to an inglor- iOus ending.

FIRST HEARINGS
HELD ON NEW
ABC PERMITS
Several Hundred Residential
Stores Expected to Get
Wine, Beer Licenses

First of the expected 500 per
sons to apply for liquor licenses
under the new law permitting
sale of light wines and beer in resi-
dental districts were heard by the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
today when IS applications Of this
nature were received.
OF the IS, it is expected 81 will
be granted their licenses as soon
as the necessary investigations
can be made by ABC inspectors.
The other four, however, are near
schools, and will be held up until
the Board Of Education can be
consulted.
The four applications held up
becau"a of proximity to schools
were those of Leon Swerd, 1900
block E st. S. E.; Benjamin Sha-
piro, 800 block E st. N. E.; Abra-
ham PAUL, 600 block K st. N. E.,
and Oscar ReZnick, 1400 block
Montello Ave. N. E.
The change in the liquor laws
to permit issuance of beer and
wine licenses to "non-conforming"
stores in residential districts is
expected to result in the licensing
of several hundred places which
heretofore have not been able to
obtain a permit.

ploy are not entitled to the 40
hour week privilege extended to
those hired by wage boards" in
other Federal agencies.
The Engineering Department

FRU|T EXPRESS
PAY BOOSTED

Over 1900 employees of the Fruit
Growers Express Company with
branches at Indiana Harbor, Indi-
ana; Jacksonville, Fla; Atlanta,
Ca, and Potomac Yards in Alex
andria, Va, are affected by a -four
per cent wage increase effective
today.
Closely affiliated with railroads,
the company, which owns, main
tains and operates refrigeration
cars for railroads, took a 10 per
cent wage cut with railroad en-
ployes February /, 1882. A recent
arbitration between railroad Off
Gals and the Brotherhood of Rail-
road employees made it mandatory
for railroad operators to restore
two and,a-half per cent at this
time.
According to E. A. Sweeley, gen.
eral mechanical superintendent Of
the Fruit Growers Express Com
pany, who has his office at Poto-
mac Yards, improved business con-
ditions justify the larger increase.
The largest branch of the Fruit
Growers Express Company is
maintained in Potomac Yards
where approximately 500 employees
are affected by the raise.
