NRA Has Proposal
Locally, work on the Federal
building projects has been halted
to a considerable degree, and
there is much agitation in Con-
gress for investigation of alleged
evasion of wage scales through
compelling workmen to turn back
part Of their money to contractors.
The Master Builders Association
has called a meeting today with
nonmember contractors on Fed
eral jobs, presumably in the in
tereSt of a united front against
the carpenters wage demands.
NRA is now considering pro-
posed agreement between New
York contractors and bricklayers
for a 81 1.5O-an-hour wage scale for
that trade.

CCC MEN HELP
FIGHT BLAZE

More than 300 volunteer fire
men, aided by a detachment Of
Civilian Conservation Corps men,
waged a six-hour battle with a
forest fire in Montgomery county
late yesterday, bringing the
flames under control after they
had swept about 800 acres Of
timber land.
A check of the Smoldering area
early today showed that no build
ings had been damaged by the
flames, and that all live stock in
its path had escaped.
Starting on the Makal Farm,
about five miles north of Silver
Spring, about 3 o'clock yesterday,
the flames were famed by stiff
breeze until they had spread over
a large area to the north and
west of the farm.
Volunteer fire companies from
Silver Spring, Kensington, and
College Park were called, and
when it was found they could not
control the blaze, a call was put
in for the CCC men and the Bur-
louisville (MdO, Bethesda, Chevy
Chase and Sandy Spring volun-
teer fire departments. At 9 o'clock
last night the fire was under con-
troll.
A detachment of the CCC men,
with several firemen, were still! on
duty in the area early today to
watch for new outbreaks.

REFUSES
To BACK TAXI
INSURANCE
Two Commissioners Ask Quick
Passage of Bill; Third
Objects to Cost

District Commissioner George
E. Allen today broke a precedent
of years standing when he re
fused to concur with his fellow
members of the Board Of Commits
Sioners in their recommendation
for passage Of a taxicab liability
insurance bill.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Pat McCarran (DO of Nevada,
was redrafted by Corporation
Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman at
the order of the Commissioners
and was recommended by Melvin
c. Hazen, president of the Board
Of Commissioners, and Commis.
Sioner John c. Gotwals for speedy
passage.
Associations Ignored
In its present form the bill
would ignore cab associations and
would require the owner of each
cab, individual or corporate, to in.
sure his cab to protect patrons,
It also would give the District
superintendent of insurance con,
troll over companies underwriting
such insurance.
The report sent to Senator Nc
Carran by the Commissioners
bore at the end the notation:
commissioner Allen does not
concur in this recSmmenda-
tiOn."
Allen Objects to C0st
Mr.. Aliens objection is that the
cost of such insurance, from $l8
to $40 per year for each cab,
would be prohibitive il mary
cases and, consequently, drive
many cab drivers out Of work. He
did not submit written minority
report.
This is the first time in the
memory of District Building at
tacheS when a Commissioner has
refused to abide by the courtesy
rule" which requires that a dis
senting member of the Board Of
Commissioners waive his views
and concur in the majority report,
thus presenting a united front to
Congress.

group to act if they wish to pass
their own bill.
Representative Clarence J. Nc
Leod (RO Of Michigan, admits
merit in the Steagall bill and be-
lieves it assures impoverished bank
depositors a small amount of re"
lief. -. -;
But at the same time fearing
more of the political trickery he
has had to contend with during
the past, he is anxious to put over
the petition and insure some sort
of bank relief legislation reaching
the floor before adjournment.
one important development
yesterday included receipt by Rep
resentative Prentiss M. Brown
CD of Michigan of a letter from
Secretary of Treasury Morgen-
thau in which the Secretary esti.
mated the amended Mcleod bill
would require an outlay Of 1907
million dollars.
Figures Are Disputed
OF that amount, he said, the
Government would probably lose
1000 million dollars.
This is denied by the Mcleod
group who declare it is just an
other attempt by the Admins
tration to block action on the Nc
Leod measure.
Another significant event yes
terday was Representative Browns
signing the petition. Until now
he was believed to be strongly op-
posed to the present measure, al
though it is the same as submit
ted several weeks ago by himself. L.
His support is believed q good
omen and valuable to the cause.
Court Is Cited
Shortly before the House ad-
1ourned yesterday Representative
Mcleod gained the floor and
pointed out that the Mississippi
Supreme Court Monday held that
if certain pleadingS were true the
st. Louis Federal Reserve Bank
had shown fraud in inducing de-
positors of the First National
Bank of Corinth to continue to do
business with the bank when the
reserve institution knew it was
insolvent.
This would support what Mr..
Mcleod has contended through
out his battle for Government aid
for closed banks. He has con-
stantly held that President Hoover,
the Comptroller of Currency and
other Government officials Of the
past administration permitted and
even encouraged depositors to
stand by banks known by those
officials to be unsound.

PECORA CITES
NECESSITY Of
REGULATION
Public Continues to Gamble in
Stocks Despite Huge
Losses
By International News Service


Playing the stock market re-
mains a favorite pastime Of the
American public. A survey Of sta
tistics gathered by Ferdinand
Pecora, Senate Banking Commit
tee special counsel, revealed to-
day.
The public continued to buy and
sell stocks in huge volume last
year, despite the fact that value
of the listed securities dropped
from a peak Of $1,000 million dol
lars, one month before the 1929
collapse, to IS, 800 millions in July,
1882. Mr.. Pecora said:
This situation illustrates the
need for stock market regula-
ton"
"The people have learned lit
tie from their losses Of billions
Of dollars. At the first sign Of
the return of prosperity, they
have responded to the manlpu-
lations of Wall Street prices by
speculating again. They flOcked
like sheep to the exchanges
again in 1888 when the brokers
formed pools and began boost
ing the alcohol stocks because
repeal was coming"
In 1928, a total Of 1,548, TOT per
sons dealt with the nations stock
martS-in other words, one out Of
every IS of the 125, ,000,0 900 inhabi-
tantS Of the country.
Nearly six years later, after all
the terrific losses, the total Of
customers for the first eight
months Of 1888 was 1,148, ,1S0.
This was an annual ratio Of one

Mr.. Hartman presented a cheer
full report of the present business
outlook, citing the normal gross
farm income at between 10000
million dollars and II 900 million,
and the farm price index now at
80 as against 40 a year ago; the
rise in the general business index
from 61.7 in February a year ago
to 1875 in March, and the boost
in wholesale prices for the same
period from 59.S to 1871.
Codes Praised
The system of fair competition
codes was termed a direct and
flexible method" of regulating
business by Mr.. Hartman, who
said that some sort Of control is
necessary "to prevent the carrying
on of predatory trade warfare to
the point of Self-deStruction. He
added:
"But this regulation should
come primarily from cooperative
action by business, rather than
from Governmental cOmpulSiOn.
If Government confines itself to
constructive supervision, aSsur.
ing fairness between competitor,
fairnes in labor conditions, and
fairness to the public, this Sys-
tenn will work to the great ad'

strange drama of love and mys-
terv involving a little group Of
self-exiles who sought happiness
in a South Seas Eden on Charles
Island, another of the Galapagos
group off Ecuador.
Captain Hancock said the two
men and an unnamed negro sailor
left Charles Island in small boat
for Chatham Island, some sixty
miles distant, where American
whalers a century ago erected a
cask on a pole to receive mail.
Fishermen and explorers still use
this Email box and passing ships
pick up the mail.
Meagre descriptions, Captain
Hancock wrote, indicated at first
that the victims were Arthur and
Margaret Wittmer, two of the
Charles Island colonists. He has
received word, however, that the
Wittmers were alive and well a
week ago. =,
what happened to the negro"
Captain Hancock said, remains
mystery. It may be that he was
swept overheard in the storm or
died in the boat.
Perhaps the negro was cast
away. It may be that Lorenz and
Nuggeruud, without sufficient food
or water aboard their little skiff,
exercised their power under the
memorable law of the sea, and
cast him adrift.
"At any rate we now have in
formation that indicates almost
conclusively that the bodies found
on lonely Maichena are those of
Lorenz and Nuggeruud."
