STREET AND LIGHT
BUDGET DISCUSSED
1886 Estimates Debated by
District Officials and
Bureau.

Estimates for streets, highways, the
Sewer Department and the Electrical
Department for 1886 were being dis
cussed by District officials and the
Budget Bureau today.
For highway improvements out Of
the gasoline tax fund, the District is
asking s2,598,2sO for 1886, as COM
pared with s2,251 $50 during the cur
rent fiscal year. For Highway Depart
ment expenses, which are met out of
the general fund, the request Is for
S486, 500, as compared with 1885 ap-
preparation of $267,l40.
For the Sewer Department the Com
missioners are asking $967, ,210, as COM
pared with present expenditures Of
$733,594.
Plant Not Included.
Neither of the latter figures includes
any work on construction Of the new
sewage disposal plant. The plant will
cost ultimately 100000 and the
District will be called upon to pay ST.
100000 during the next fiscal year to
the Public Works Administration Of
the loan expected to be made for this
project.
For the Electrical Department, the
Commissioners are asking 1895 figure
of S1,O79, TOO as against a 1885 figure
of $685. ,470. The figure for 1885 is
based on lighting street lights which
are now dark because of the inSufi-
cheney of the present appropriation.
Witnesses Called.
District officials who were to testify
at the hearing today were H. C.
Whitehurst, director Of highways; j.
B. Gordon, director Of sanitary engi-
neering, and w. F. Kern. electrical
inspector.
It is expected that the public school
item of $10,820, 1852 will come up for
discussion tomorrow. This is the larg-
est individual item in the budget esti-
mates, which total $44, ,039, 1856 as COM
pared with a 1885 appropriation OF
S37,991,177.

Increase in Emergency
Needs for Winter May
Limit Expenditure.
TOTAL FOR NOVEMBER
IS REDUCED BY $4,000
Special Sum Earmarked for Use
Of Pupils Is Missing in
New Figures.

The future extent of operations of
the free-lunch program for needy
school children was in doubt today
when District officials were informed
the Federal relief grant for November
would total $673,560, or $4,000 less
than the sum asked.
The November grant does not carry
any specific sum for school lunches.
Last month a special sum of $4,000
was earmarked for the purpose. A
sum of $4,000 more is obligated for
tree lunches given to students of junior
and senior high schools. For this rea-
son the District sought a $2l 1000
grant for school lunches for November
District officials presumed that the
school lunch program must be pro-
vided out Of the general grant of
$673,560. Saying that emergency re-
lief needs will increase next month
because of necessity of greater allot-
ments for coal, the Commissioners are
wondering if they may have to limit
expenditures for school lunches.
List Is Checked.
This problem may be outlined to the
Federal Emergency Relief AdminiStra-
ton. School officials today were asked
to 60 over the list of pupils receiving
free lunches to segregate those who
are members of families on relief from
those who are not receiving relief
Last year about 55 per cent of the
children were members of families on
relief and the remainder were not.
The subject was discussed at spe-
cial conference today between Com
missioner George E. Allen, District
relief administrator; Elwood Street,
director of public welfare, and Miss
Alice Hill. director of emergency re-
lief. No definite decision was reached.
They said they hoped to avoid any
reduction in the average relief allow
ance now granted to families on relief
$500 Cases Closed Out.
Miss Hill said about 1890 relief
cases we're closed out during October,
as compared with 1900 in September,
but that she could not say now def
nitely whether the relief load had
been reduced, because figures as yet
are not available as to the number
of new cases placed on relief in Octo-
ber.
For October the Federal grant was
S692, 1876, or about $4,000 more than
that granted for November. Each
month the District uses $166,666 OF
the Districts relief appropriation to
support the Federal grant.

Casualty is a private institution
which has contracts with the District

When development of Gallinger Hos
pital was started 1t was contemplated
that it would take over this emergency

Contending the present administra-
ton of the Public Library in the Dis
trict "is an ideal plan for any city
to use" and that the Controlling
Board is composed of representative
citizens who are vitality interested in
their work and who serve without
pay, the association unanimously
adopted a resolution recommending
retention of the existing plan Of Sc
lecting the Board of Trustees, the
librarian and all library employees.
In another resolution, the associa-
ton commended Maj. Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of police, and
Leslie c. Garnett, District attorney,
for their efforts I'm sponsoring the
special drive ON crime in the District"
and pledged its support in the cam
paign.
William A. Maio, president, was re-
elected for the ensuing year, as were
Mrs. A. H. Bryde, first vice president,
and w. j. Carey, sergeant at arms.
The new officers elected we're: Deg

treasurer, and Vernis Absher and
Davy, delegates to the Federation of

Mrs. Alyse H. Thume and Joseph F.

LAW ENFORCING ASKED
Letter to Roosevelt Demands U. S
Act in Florida Lynching.

In a letter to President Roosevelt
Walter Pickens of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People asserted the mob which
lynched a colored man In Florida last
week had violated the Federal kidnap-
ing law.
I'VE have made laws to punish in
terstate kidnapers, promising death to
those who harm their victims" Pickens
said. "If we fail to make good, or at
least to exhaust every resource to make
good, in this wholesale violation of
those laws, we ought to apologize to
the relatives of the Dillingers and the
Floyds and to dismiss all pending cases
against petty criminals Of the kind,
who now stand in jeopardy Of their
liberties and their lives"

Postmaster General Farley gets to
keep his news ticker because, so he
says, it helps the Post Once Depart
ment to catch criminals.
After a three-month exchange Of
correspondence with Controller Cen
eral McCarl, the latter held today that
Farley had made a sufficiently strong
case to justify the Government spend
ing $75 a month for the service.
Farley installed the service in July
and asked McCarl if it could be paid
for out of contingent expenses of his
department. McCarl held that it was
only a newspaper" and consequently
the expenditure was barred because Of
a 500 limit for such disbursements.

PARIS. January 23.-The French
cabinet determined to stand by its guns
in the armament conflict with Ger
many, although it had accepted a sug-
gestion made by Joseph Paul -Boncour
foreign minister, that negotiations con-
tinue.
The German answer, received Fri
day, to French disarmament proposals
was characterized frankly today as
disappointing" the French contending
they have gone the limit in concessions
While Germany appears to them to be
determined to rearm.
Reports that Great Britain was plan
ming sending a note to both France
and Germany, asking for a compro-
mise, is likely to hold up the French
reply to the German memorandum until
the British proposition can be studied.
Official quarters indicated that the
disarmament situation was one which
caused no optimism.
Some progress was seen, however, IN
Chancellor Hitler's request-embodied
in the German memorandum-for fur
ther information from France. The
argument thereby was left open on
some points and the French government

Children Star In Soviet
Film "RrOken Shoes


Nazi Germany is the locale for
Broken Shoes" the new Soviet Aim
which opens this Saturday at the
Acme Theatre. Following closely
the recent fighting in Austria,
France and Spain. this film gives
a stirring picture of the social forces
behind those movements, stressing
for the first time the role played by
children.
Broken Shoes" might be called a.
children's picture as the cast is
composed mostly Of children from
eight to fourteen years old. But it
is more than that. It Is a human
document showing how the struggles
of their fathers affect the children
and how through the children these
struggles have been carried inside
the school rooms. out on the play
grounds and on the streets. 1t is a
timely epic Of children in politically
torn Europe.
Margarita Barskaya direct e
Broken Shoes" her first film. But
her skill and experience as director
of the famous Moscow Children's
Theatre with which she was asso-
ciated for many years, is revealed in
the smooth and natural perform
ance of the children players in
this film.
The same program includes the
latest Soviet News which include
closeup pictures of Georg Dinnitroff.
Popoff and Tanev, the Bulgarian
prisoners acquitted in Leipzig, in
MOSCOW and other important events.
