LOAN
DISPUTE TAKEN
To CONGRESS
Senate Committee to Decide
On Repayment Of Funds
Allotted for Parks

The Senate District Committee
will meet this afternoon to cut
the "Gordian knot" tying up the
bill which would permit the Dis
trict to borrow 20 million dollars
from the Public Works Admins
tration for badly needed public
projects.
The dispute between the Dis
trict Commissioners and the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission arose over repayment
of the park site purchase money
to be allotted the latter group
under the bill.
Conferences Held
For the past few days, the
District heads and the Planning
Commission members have con-
Quoted a series of conferences
in an attempt to iron out their
differences, but little or no prog
ress had been made up to today,
and Senator William H. King
DD Utah. chairman of the Sen
ate Committee, became convinced
the only solution lies with Con-
gress.
The Commissioners have in
sisted that the District be made
to pay back only half as much of
the loan under the Capper-
Cramton Park act annually, as
on the Public Works Admins
tration loan.
On the other hand, the Plan
ming Commission insists the Dis
trict can easily bear the burden
of paying 100000 annually on
the Capper-C Cramton funds (bor-
rowed some years ago for pur-
chasing and improving parkS)
and at the same time repay an
equal amount on the proposed
20 million dollar Public Works
Administration loan.
Public Works Administration Of
ficials, who will have the final say
as to which projects are to be
financed with their money, are
said to side with the Planning
Commission.

To CONFER

Emergency Relief Administrator,
will confer with District Com
missioner George E. Allen today
at 3 p. m.
Mr.. Allen received notice Of the
conference before leaving for the
Capitol to attend Senate hearings
on the District budget.
There are three things, how
ever, which Mr.. Allen may take
up with Mr.. Hopkins.
First is the subject of the
100000 which the District Com
missoiners have asked to sup
plement the 100000 already
granted by the FERA for April
relief needs in the District. AL
though local authorities have re-
ceived notice to go ahead with
the relief program, they have
not been told whether the full
5000, 1000 will be granted.
Second on Mr.. Aliens list is
the matter of funds for the local
relief program during May. 1t
is estimated that $1,000,000 will
be needed for relief during the
month, and it is expected. that
this matter will come up at to-
days conference.
The third matter to be taken
UP is the appointment of Robert
w. Kelso. now field representa-.
tive of the FERA, as director Of
public welfare for the District.

EASING Of BEER
RULES URGED

Permission for truck drivers in
the employ of wholesale beer and
wine dealers to take orders from
regular customers ON their routes
was sought by liquor wholesalers
today.
Meeting in the offices of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board,
the wholesalers protested a ruling
Of William w. Bride, former cor
poration counsel, which held that
it was illegal for a beer truck
driver to take orders unless he had
q solicitors license.
The dealers told George w.
Offutt, chairman of the board,
that they believed drivers should
be permitted to take and fill
orders from customers who pre-
viouSly had been contacted by a
solicitor. Mr.. Offutt will ask E.
Barrett Prettyman. Corporation
Counsel, for his opinion on the
question.
At the same time, the whole
Salers announced their intention
of seeking Congressional action
to reduce the fee for solicitors
licenses, At present the law
fixes a 500 charge for such Ii.
cense and the dealers will seek
to have this reduced to $25 or
less,
