before that body becomes busy with
national legislation, Chairman King
OF the District Committee will confer
with Corporation Counsel prettyman
Thursday on bills to be considered for
early action.
Senator King wants to obtain i'm
mediate action by his committee on
those District measures which were
reported out at the last session, bat
which failed to pass both Houses of
Congress. Among the proposals in
this category are the anti-gambling

ance bill and the other is the genera.
motorists safety responsibility bill.
To Ask Gaming Law.
Prettyman notified Senator King
yesterday that the anti-gambling bill
will be presented in the same form
in which the Senate committee ap-
proved it last Spring, which should
facilitate its reconsideration at the
coming session. 1t will have to be re-
introduced, this being a new Con-
gress, but Senator King is hopeful
of arranging committee meeting
either before or Immediately after
Congress convenes on January 3.
1t may not be possible to introduce
bills until the second or third day
Of the session, but the District Com
mittee can 60 over its calendar of un-
finished business from the last ses-
sion and be prepared to reafirm with
out delay its stand on those bills which
it reported favorably year ago.

its work Immediately after the Christ

crat, of Oklahoma. indicated yester-
day. Senator Gore, who is chairman

Childish Santa
Letters Sent to

Couple, Who AnsUered
Then, in Past, Fails
to Call.

Childish letters mailed to Santa
Claus in Washington went to the dead
letter ofice this year, instead Of to
the wealthy couple who answered
them in the past.
For years the couple, who asked
that their names be withheld, called
at the City Post ONCE each holiday
season to ask for the Santa Claus
letters.
They spent several days poring
over them, separating the innocent
and the needy from the merely jocu-
lar Then they filled the requests as
best they could, sending asked for
gifts to the worthy.
Again this year. the letters were
saved, but the couple did not reappear.
Since the Post Office has no Santa
Claus appropriation, they finally were
disposed Of" much as other such let
ters have gone up the chimney"
Postal employees personally saved
one or two, and sought to fulfill them
from their own resources.
The others. however, had to go up
the chimney" in the absence Of the
Christmas patrons of the dead letter

Work Relief-Plan Presented
to Hopkins. -.
By the Associated Press.

=
An expansion of the Civilian Con-
servation Corps to carry more of the
burden of helping the unemployed is
under consideration by administration
relief experts.
1t is one of number Of proposals
studied as possible means of putting
more emphasis on work relief rather
than outright grants of assistance.
The proposal has come from group
Of members of Congress, who have
watched the work Of the c. c. c.
Heretofore c. G. c. work has been con-
fined chiefly to more or less unat-
tached youths, many Of whom have
never found regular jobs since they
completed school. The proposal now
under consideration would expand it
to include older men and married
men.
Senator Pope, Democrat, Of Idaho,
one OF those who proposed the ex-
pansion. has taken the idea up with
high administration officials, includ-
ing Harry L. Hopkins, relief director,
and has received assurance 1t would

.B[ANTON RENEWS
FIGHT 0ND. C.FUND
Makes Attack on Increased
Appropriations for City's
Relief Purposes.

Extending Christmas greeting
card to the press, Representative
Thomas L. Blanton Of Texas at
tached to it statistics on relief ex-
penditures here and a reiteration of
his opposition to any increase in the
Federal lump-sum contribution to the
upkeep of the District.
In expressing his opposition to
the $1,O00,00O increase in the
emergency relief appropriation re-
quested by the Commissioners,
Blanton, who is ranking Democratic
member of the House District Appro-
priations Subcommittee, declared the
money dole should stop" While
furnishing all possible jobs and food
to the deserving needy, he said a
dole destroys initiative, self-reliance,
energy, thrift and self-respect, and
creates lazy, shiftless mendicants."
Presenting His Side.
The House Subcommittee has COM
pleted its hearings on the District
supply bill and Blanton said in his
Christmas greetings that he was pre-
senting facts to Offset what he char
acterized as "city propaganda"
When the hearings are made public,
he said, they will show that the Com
missioners admit the following:
That most of the paved streets,
bridges, schools. Fairgrounds. parks,
water system, hospitals, courts, Jail,
asylunls for detectives and other
projects were acquired and constructed
when the United States paid half of
their cost.
That during the last 20 years the
United States has spent over $780,
100000 in Washington on its perma-
nent buildings-a great city asset
attracting large crowds here daily,
visitors spending $50,000,000 in WASH
ington in 1884
That sl3.O00,00O has been spent
here on relief in 1884, there being
one OF every seven persons and one
OF every four Negroes on relief, many
refusing jobs, families receiving from
$14 to $50 a month.
That the tax rate is still $l.50 per
S1OO on real and personal property
and one-half of l per cent on intangi-
bles, with hundreds of millions in
locked boxes never taxed; all libraries
and 81 900 worth of furniture are ex-
empt from taxes to each family,
Taxes Lowered.
ITO aid citizens the assessed values
have been lowered $50,000,000 this
year and sS0,OO0,0 900 last year; gaso-
line tax is 2 cents; sauto license tags

no monthly sewer charge.
