RECALLS DONOVAN
TO EXPLAIN FUNDS
House Group to Question
Auditor on Permanent and
Indefinite Appropriations.

Maj. Daniel ]. Donovan, auditor and
budget officer of the District, was re-
called today by special subcommittee
Of the House Appropriations Commit
tee to complete an explanation of the
Districts permanent and indefinite
appropriations.
The committee, which is making a
comprehensive study of all permanent
and indefinite appropriations for both
District and Federal departments,
questioned Maj. Donovan for nearly
four hours yesterday afternoon, but
did not complete the examination.
Out of the committees investigation
may come a new plan for handling
the permanent and indefinite items,
which are not carried in regular ap-
preparation bills, but are handled
in permanent law.
The inquiry is the result of COM
plant by Representative Goss. Re
publican, of Connecticut, that many
of the permanent and indefinite items
are obsolete and should be abolished.
He thinks these items should be ap-
propriated annually in regular sup
ply bills.
Maj. Donovan admitted in his
testimony that some of the trust
funds carried as permanent and in
definite appropriations have not been
active for IS years. while others could
be carried if regular appropriation
acts.

SALES TAX URGED
BY CIVIC GROUP
Progressive Citizens OF
Georgetown See Equal
ization Need.

Passage by Congress Of bill pro-
viding for a manufacturer sales tax
was urged at a meeting Of the Pro-
gressive Citizens Association Of
Georgetown last night.
In adopting the resolution, which
was sponsored by Miss Eta Taggart.
honorary president, the association
expressed the following opinion:
Whereas, 1t Is the sense Of the
Progressive Citizens Association Of
Georgetown that the burden of gov
ernmental cost should be equally dis
tribUted as is practicable, and,
Whereas, billions of dollars are
being expended in the National Re-
covery Administration program, such
expenditures necessitating a raise in
revenue to meet the governmental
costs, and,
Whereas, the Progressive Citizens
Association of Georgetown, believing
that a manufacturers sales tax is the
fairest and most equitable method Of
taxation under serious consideration,
indorses and recommends the passage
by Congress of a manufacturers sales
tax, exempting food, clothing and
medicine"
On motion Of Mrs. Elizabeth T..
Sullivan. first vice president, Congress
was asked to assign the Board Of
Public Welfare to carry out the pro-
visions of the old-age security act,
known as the Capper- Norton bill. The

Bitter, 100, Times,
Reptile Trainer
Likes His Snakes
BY the Associated Press.

6y tne ASSOClateQ ffeSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, March s.-Bit-
ten more than 100 times by poison
GUS snakes. F. M. Weidmann Of San
Francisco rounded out today 80 years
as a trainer of the reptiles.
Apparently immune to the peril Of
their deadly fangs, he gets a head
ache as the poison goes through his
system, then he takes a big drink OF
water and shortly is normal again.
Weidmann's odd career began by
accident in 1904 when he was bitten
by the frs. snake he ever handled.
Il Immediately became interested
in snakes and determined to see If
they could be trained" he said. Il
found that you cannot whip a snake.
Although they are intelligent, they do
not understand why they are being
disciplined and therefore I always
treat them with kindness"
AS Weidmann was talking he fon-
died a long rattlesnake with several
buttons. Suddenly angered, the rat
tier raised its head to strike as its
buttons ratified with an ominous warm
ing. Calmly, like a parent quieting a
child, Weidmann picked up the angry
snake, caressed it and the reptile i'm
mediately became quiet.
Il have to do that when one of
them becomes mad" Weidmann ex-
planned. If don't the snake seems
to realize he can dominate me-"
And how does the snake trainers
wife regard his strange pets?
well, when we were married 10
years ago, Mrs. Weidmann didn't care
for the snakes Weidmann said
But gradually she got used to them,
except for the rattlers, which she still
doesn't care for particularly"

THREE FAIR C0NTENDERS IN

in many moons there are three
figf ting coutenders.
They are Make Baer Steve Ea-
mas and Walter Neusel. just how
good any one of this trio actually
is, no one knows.
However, it's safe bet that the
customers would flock out to see
any one of the three thrown into
tie ring with Primo Carnera, in
whom experts anG fans have lost
confidence because of his question
able showings against moth-eaten

The most stimulating factor about
Imperial Valley press., 1934-03-12

The three cOntenderS is that all are
fighters-not boxers. All are young,
devil-nlay-care, smashing sluggers.
This indicates that the next title
bout will be a good old waterfront
braWl - unScientific perhaps, but
battering and bloody. When tie
heavyweight title engagements
leach the brawl stage; when they
resemble somewhat the Dempsey
Firpo encounter, it is very healthy
sign.
Make Baer, the handsome young
Californian, got to Max Schmel-
ing first. Since then the publicity
re received from the movies, vau-
deville turns and love suits built
him into the greatest attraction as
a contender. A Carnera-Baer match
would be a natural"

the supreme effort this week to
