year which closed Saturday night,
piled UP an operating deficit of $780,

What's What
Behind News

Aid to Needy Congress
men Greatest of Po-
litical Classics.
By PAUL MALLON.

By PAUL MALLON. ]
THE inside story of how congress-
men slipped over that law al
lowing themselves to get relief
L loans from the Government is
one of the great political
classics Of all time.
Two Senators did it. One Is a new
conner from a Midwestern State. You
probably never have heard his name
unless you reside in his State.
A fellow in his home town has q
mortgage on one Of his hou+es. but
cannot get the relief offered in the
home owners mortgage set-up. because
the house is owned by Senator.
Canvasses Friends.
The Senator went around among
his friends in the Senate. telling them
the story and pointing out that such
a situation needed correcting
Another Senator. who has large
cotton interests in a South Atlantic
State. was more interested than any,
one else He is an old-timer, who
knows how to get things done.
He took the MidWeSterner's idea
and expanded ii. A nduteless bill
,0as quietly introduced, amending
the criminal code 50 CongreSSmen
could borrow from the Farm Cred
it Administration as tDeH as the
Mortgage Relief Administration.
Not q word ever got outsice the
inner congressional circle about the
bill until after it had been passed by
the Senate and was pending in the
House. Then the story got out and
members OF the House rebelled. Word
was slipped from the White House
that the bill would be vetoed II the
House passed 1t.
Evening star., 1934-07-02

In justice to the great number OF
Congressman, it must be said they
would not ordinarily touch a Govern
ment loan with l0-foot pole, and, II
forced to. they would lean over back
ward to make sure that they avoided
political consequences
Many of the Congressman who ap-
proved the ell bill sincerely thought 1t
was fair, even If potentially embar-
RAISING.
Anyway, they did not do it for them
selves, but for the poor fellow who had
the mortgage on the Senator's house
in a Midwestern State, and. not alone
for him, but for his wife and kiddies.
You know how that is.
N. X. A. Exodus to Begin.
There will be q minor exodus of
deputy administrators and others from
the N r. A. as soon as Gen. johnson
gets out of town on his Western tour.
Many have been afraid to resign
while johnson was in town. He always
says something which makes his de-
parting employees feel uncomfortable.

FORD COMPLIANCE
NOTE IS AWAITED
Letter Not Received by
N. r. A. as Sabine Pre-
pares to Bid on Big Deal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N. r. A. still had not received
signed letter Of Blue Eagle compliance
from Henry Ford today, though 10
cal dealer indicated his intention to
bid on approximately 100000 Of
War Department contracts.
R. P. Sabine of the Northwest Mo-
tor Co., Ford dealer, and his at
torney, F. Hunter Creech, conferred
at N. r. A. headquarters with I. D.
Everitt in the automotive section.
After this conference, it was learned
the War Department was taking bids
today on Q large contract and that
Sabine intended to compete.
Letter Stiu Awaited.
So far as N. r. A. officials were
concerned, q signed letter from the
Ford Motor Co. still was awaited.
1t was thought Sabine's bid might
be submitted conditionally subject to
possible receipt of the signed letter
of compliance. but whether such bid
would be accepted was up to the War
Department.
n. r. A. officials said they had no
indication that the letter of compli-
ance approved Saturday by Hugh s..
johnson would not be signed by q
responsible Ford Motor official, but
said they knew OF no person In the
Capital qualified TO sign for Ford.
Trial Draft Approved.
Sabine, who In the past. has lost
out ON Government contracts because
the Ford Co. lacked the Blue Eagle,
submitted the trial draft" of letter
to johnson Saturday. 1t asserted the
company has complied with the N.
r. A. in the past and would con-
tinue to do so.
I'VE reserve, however, our consti-
tutional statutory rights" 1t con-
cluded.
johnson did not like that wording.
He suggested it be changed thus: I'VE
reserve, however, such rights as we
may be able to establish in q COM
petent court of jurisdiction"
A satisfactory solution Of the long
difference between Ford and recovery
officials seemed imminent. But in De-
troit. Louis J. Colombo. a Ford at
torney, said the letter did not come
from the company and that Ford ac-
ceptance OF the code would await
signing Of the letter by q company
official

days may elapse before the matter Is

Works Administration Of $1,75s, 500
for sewers and $148.650 for park i'm
provements is appropriated out of any
money in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated -
BY this legislation Congress recog-
nizes the Federal payment to the Dis
trict to be IS. TOO, 900, but requires that
there be deducted from that sum as a
reimbursement to the Federal Treasury
10 per centum of the allotments made
for sewer work and park improve
ments. The allotments for both pur-
poses total $l.908.l50. 1t Is believed
that at least $3.50 600 Of the sewer
allotment will not be needed and
therefore may be refunded to the Pub
lie Works Administration. This would
leave SI,658, $50 as the principal sum
to be used In determining the Dis
trict's 10 per cent liability. On this
basis the SIS, TOO, 900 should be reduced
by only 81 ,160 ,705, leaving the sum of
s4,539. .295 as the net Federal payment
for 1885. This amount has been in
cluded in the financial set-up for that
year.
'"The ability to maintain a, tax rate
of 81 so in the fiscal year 1885 without
a revenue deficit takes into considera-
ton not only the collection Of the
revenue estimated for that year-al-
though little apprehension is felt on
this score-but also the following:
That no additional appropriations
be made from District revenues for
emergency relief: that the remaining
per cent salary cut will not be re-
stored in the current fiscal year; that
new legislation involving new and
large additional appropriation charges
will not be passed during the 1885
fiscal year, and that large expenditures
will not be made this year for park
and playground purchases"

$35O,0(O DEcREED
AGAINST BANKER
Three Plaintiffs Awarded
Huge Judgment in Thomp-
son Case.

A decree for a s350.000 judgment
against Eugene E. Thompson, former
member of Crane, Paris & Co.,
private bankers, was signed In Dis
trict Supreme Court today by Justice
Jennings Bailey. This was said to be
the largest judgment ever obtained
here in an Equity Court.
The plaintiffs in the suit were
Charles A. Carry. local real estate
man; Mrs. Virginia Deyine Of the
Dresden Apartments and the George
Washington Masonic National Me-
mortal Association, Inc. The banking
house failed last year and Is now In
receivership.

which indicted G. Bryan Pitts. after
the collapse of the ?. H. Smith Co..
allegedly permitted certain stock, left
with the banking house by Mrs. De-
vine, to be used In protecting indebt-
edness incurred by his firm. The
decree said this was done without
her knowledge or consent. Mrs. De-
vine was awarded judgment for $94.-
545 SO in connection with this trans
action and an additional judgment
for $l3.976.02 in connection with the
failure of the banking house.
The judgment in Carry's favor was
for $l23,655.2l. while the memorial
association was declared entitled to
receive Sl24.64015.
These judgments were based on the
loss of money which had been de-
posted with the banking house before
it went into receivership.
In October, 1881. the plaintiffs en-
tered into an agreement with Thomp-
son, B. Ogle and Harper and the
late William Knowles Cooper, then
the partners in the banking house,
not to institute any criminal proceed
ings. Justice Bailey's decree directed
that this agreement remain open, the
court to retain jurisdiction over it.

ton Of this great work Of relief for
poor Congressman, who only get

ment is afoot among news men TO
strike of a medal to the two persever-
ing Senators.
The motif suggested is that OF an
eel on a background OF two crossed
palms.
II you think there is any skulldug-
gerry behind this business, you are
mistaken. You just do not under
stand Any Congressman can explain
it to you.
The explanation is that, after all,
Congressmen are human beings. Even
if they get SIS, 500 year (plus mileageD, ,
some Of them are in distress II not ac-
tually IN want. They have farms,
homes. businesses (all kinds Of busi-
nesses). Other people who have farms.
homes. businesses are getting money
from the Government 1t is rank dis
elimination for Congressman not to
get 1t.
To think otherDise. you must be
Suspicious soul You must be-
lieue that the Congressplen are
going to erert political pressure on
Government officials to get unfair
or euen dishonest loans or that
they Utll get more consideration
from Government relief agencies
than the Average citizen. You
must suspect that, sometime In the
future, these same CongressmeH
toiIl merit pass a ldi1 cdncelling the
loans they got, so they Uill not
hare to pay the money back.
The fact that the transactions are
not to be made in public does not
mean anything. because the Govern
ment will have a secret record of
them. Also. Government appraisers
will certainly fix honest values for
the loans, even though they may be
political appointees Of the Congress
man whose property they evaluate.
No Partially to Be Shown.
And you may rest assured that DEM
ocrats will not be loaned more than
Republicans, and that the administra-
ton would surely not use its private
knowledge about the loans to make
borrowing Congressman vote the way
it wants.
In fact, it is all to be very honest
and fair. even If little below board.
