D. {. MAY GET
BIC STADIUM

The vista of a stadium in Wash
ington large enough to hold the
Olympic Games and similar sports
events opened today when the
Public Works Administration
handed out $4,000 for prelimi-
nary study of the project.
Public works Administrator
Harold L. Ickes directed the trans
fer of the PWA funds to the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission for study of a pro
gram which is involving develop
ment of the east end of East Cap
itol Street and for construction of
the stadium. The commission has
been hoping for such a sports
center for 20 years.
It is proposed to grade 1875 acres
extending to Benning Road and
Gallinger Hospital as site for
the stadium. According to COM
mission plans, the National Guard
Armory could be constructed on
this huge area.
In addition, according to COM
mission officials, the grounds
could be used for parades, big foot
ball games possibly the Army
Navy game) and even for the
Olympic games.

Ken Murray
Says:

There have been complaints
from the game wardens this
year, that hunters are shooting
more than their limit Hos
pitaI reports prove they're
right.
OF course, this doesn't apply
to the Republicans . Several
million were out cunning last
Tuesday, but didn't even bring
down a Blue Eagle.
Also. the "big-game hunters"
of Washington haven't had
much luck. That Wilson shoot
ing has even scared the game
away from Jimmy FOntaine's
reserve.
One nimrod, who was ar.
rested for hunting with last
years license, explained that he
was only shooting the birds he
missed last year.
so REMEMBER
The early bird gets shot first.

ALLEN To HALT.
BOOTLEG MILK
IN CAPITAL
Commissioner Seeks to Protect
"SmaII Man" in New Law;
Rep. Smith Offers Plan

Coloring matter or a small
amount of sugar added to "ice
cream mix" was proposed at pub
lie hearing before Commissioner
George E. Allen today to prevent
the bootlegging of cream into the
District.
The suggestion was made by
Rep. Howard w. Smith, of Vir-
ginia, as an amendment to the
proposed regulations which are
intended to stop the diversion of
milk brought for manufacturing
purposes to fluid consumption.
Small manufacturers, according
to statements at the hearing, pur-
chase the surplus" milk at the
manufacturing price and sell it in
bottles.
Must Stop Practice
Commissioner Allen explained
that this practice must be stopped,
but that he would not sanction
a regulation which would work
hardship on small storekeepers
or bakers who make a living by
making homemade ice cream"
He said:
81 don't want to establish
precedent and hurt the little
man in favor of the large manu-
facturers. If 1 had my choice
would do it the other way
around"
Under the proposed amendment
the small manufacturers would be
able to purchase the necessary in
gradients of ice cream at the same
price which the large manufacture
ers pay, but the ingredients could
not be sold as fluid milk without
the knowledge of the consumer.
The recommendations will be
sent out to all small dealers for
suggestions before they are made
part of the proposed regulations.
Protect Small Man"
Commissioner Allen declined to
consider the regulation unless the
interests of the small man" were
protected. Large manufacturers
can purchase cream for their pur-
poses at the Western price, which
at times is considerably lower
than that of the local markets.
The small manufacturer is forced
to pay the regular dairy price.
The price spread between the
Western and local markets at
present is approximately SO for 10
gallons of cream.
Testimony during the Senate in
vestigation hearing on the local
milk question repeated at the
hearing brought out the fact that
more than 100000 gallons of
milk had been bootlegged into the
District in the last few years.

BY RILLA SCHROEDER

Herbert Janvrin Browne, who
has gained quite a reputation as
a long range weather forecaster,
is predicting long, hard winter
for washington.
The temperature, however, &C
cording to Forecaster Browne, will
not set any new lows. He does
not expect it to drop as low as it
did last winter.
But the cold spells will last
longer and there will be more
snow.
Forecaster Browne says:
THE average person judges
a winter by its snow. If there
is lots of snow they think the
weather has been unusually
cold. BY this standard we are
going to have a cold winter.
The mean temperature will be
a little lower than last year.
"The cold, however, will not
at any time be as pronounced as
it was last year. The cold

CHIEF PLEDGES
BEAT|NGS WILL
Be ENDED
Accused Guards 0usted by
RosiChan DrunkS to Be
Transferred to Police

Demanding explanations and re-
visions of policy on the part Of
the officials of the Washington
Transient Bureau, a committee Of
IL, representing the entire mem.
bership at the bureau, today pre-.
sented ii charges against bureau
practices to Arthur RoSichan, di.
rector of the bureau.
Some 100 bureau members
cheered their committee on as the
group started from the outside of
the administration building to con.
fer with Mr.. Rosichan, and,
during the conference in the di.
rector's office, groups of members
waited outside to learn what had
taken place.
The conference was orderly, and
became spirited only internationally
when several of the committee
members would begin talking
loudly at the same time, backing
up a charge that one of their
fellow members had made.
DiSclaims Beating
Definite assurances were given
by Mr.. Rosichan that eviction
and beating of bureau members
by the guards never has been ap
proved by him, and that future
actions of that sort will result
in prosecution of those guilty.
This was his answer to the
principal allegation.
The committee, headed by
Lewis B. Smith, of New York,
presented the list of charges
which condemned alleged corrup
ton, favoritism, and other activi
ties in the bureau, to Mr.. Rosi
chan as result of mass meet
ing yesterday of members of the
bureau. The mass meeting pri
marily grew out of the alleged
recent incident in which Paul
Pendergast, %, was taken forcibly
from his room by bureau guards
robbed. beaten, and thrown out
OF a car near Falls Church, Va,
DRINKS to Go to Police
Although explaining that he
had no knowledge of this accuse
ton until reports came to him
after it is supposed to have oc.
CURED. Mr.. RoSichan told the
committee today that Mr.. Fender
CAST had got a job, returned to
the bureau to collect his pay
there, and then got drunk and
hung around making a disturb
ance at the place the bureau had
given him to sleep. Mr.. Rosi
chan added:
Nevertheless, 1 do not sane
ton the action alleged to have
been taken against him, and in
the future anyone guilty Of
such action will be prosecuted.
] also want to tell you, though,
that instead of trying to take
care of members of the bureau
who get drunk and diSorderly,
as we have been, we shall turn
them over to the police"
Concerning charges that the
guards frequently Slugged and
otherwise mistreated the bureau
members. the director asserted
that he has ordered a change In
the personnel of the guards and
that he will continue to weed Out
those who act improperly.
AS to another demand by the
committee, Mr.. Rosichan said he
had no authority to give cash
relief.
