PL AN
IS ADOPTED BY
PRETTYMAN
Counsel Finds Way to Give
District Wide Powers
Over Money Brokers

Activities of small loan brokers
who prey upon the ignorant and
needy would be curbed under
regulations being drafted today
by Corporation Counsel E. Bar
rett Prettyman.
Mr.. Prettyman announced that
he is drafting a plan to license
money lenders who deal in small
amounts, under the licensing act
of 1882. Under this act, he ex-
planned, the Commissioners are
given wide powers to regulate
such matters.
Present Law Ineffective
The type of broker which the
local government seeks to curb,
Mr.. Prettyman explained, is not
amenable to any law or regula-
ton at present. Such lenders
charge extortionate fees and inter-
est, he said.
For example, he said, a broker
of this type will take an applica-
ton for a loan of 500. He will
obtain the money for the bor-
rover, but will require in ex-
change a note for $3.50, to be paid
back over a period Of weeks.
Would Limit Charges
Under the proposed regulation,
Mr.. Prettyman said, such broker
would be required to take out a
license and would be limited in
the amount of interest and other
fees he could charge for the loan.
Should he charge more than the
regulation permitted, his license
would be cancelled and if he con-
tinued to lend money after can
collation. of the license he would
be given a Jail term.
A bill embodying features sim
liar to those of the proposed regu-
lation was introduced at the last
session of Congress, after the
Commissioners had received nu-
merous complaints of extortionate
practices of small loan brokers,
but it failed to pass.

BID
ACCEPTED

Construction will be started i'm
mediately on the new liquor dis
pensary and office building in Sill
yer Spring, it was announced to-
day, following the award of the
contract by the board of Mont
gomery county commissioners yes
terday to Francis M. TompkinS
Company, of East Falls Church,
Va, on a bid Of $81 ,555, the low
est of IL bids.
The awarding of the contract
will bring to a close much bitter
discussion over the need for the
building.
The first bids received were con-
siderably in access of the $4,000
set aside for the building, and the
plans were recalled and revised 50
as to bring the cost within the
figure.
The building will house, in ad-
dition to a dispensary and liquor
warehouse, the offices for the
county liquor control board, the
county engineer force and the
staff engineers of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.

F Rec HOSPITAL
PLAN STARTS
ONJULY |
Nonprofit Organization to Pro-
tect Group Members
On Small Fee Plan

On July l, actual free Great
ment in hospitals will be avail
able for members of Group Hos
pitaliZation, Inc, civic welfare
and non-profit organization, which
offers protection to members for
a small monthly fee.
Joseph H. Hines, president Of
the board of directors, today said
all subscribers to the plan, who
are in good standing, may secure
hospital treatment if necessary,
at any hospital in the city.
Backed by Society
Mr.. Hines said:
"The plan, which has the back
ing Of the District Medical So
ciety, welfare groups, and all the
hospitals of the city, has been
presented to about $500 persons
by groups. We are extremely
gratified at their response"
Representatives of the move
ment plan to contact approximate
ly 200 persons daily throughout
the summer.
Group disqualification offers its
protection against expenses from
illness for an initiation fee of 81,
and monthly payments of IS
cents.
Eighty per cent of employees in
one Government division, IS per
cent of members of the largest
association of nurses in the city
and all members of one industrial
plant, are enrolled.
Representative Membership
Rather than try to get as
many members as possible, the
organization, thus far, has sought
to get as representative as pos
sible membership from all classes
of employees, Mr.. Hines said.
Offices of the organization are
in the 1000 block of Vermont
Ave. N. w. Several months of
planning preceded it's actual in
auguration. Directors and officers
have served without pay. The
organization has only three paid
employees.

RIDES THE RODS
To GET LOAN 2

Seeking loan on his farm
from the Federal Farm Loan
Board, John Silversack, 57-year-
old farmer, of Orland, CAL, rode
the rods" across the continent to
place his plea directly before the
board.
Mr.. Silversack, who has a wife
and five children on the 80-acre
farm he has owned 16 years, is
staying here at the Central Union
Mission while he presses his
appeal for a loan.
Although unaccustomed to hobo
ing, he made the long trip with
out any mishap except for one
night spent in jail at Richmond,
Ind, after he was taken off a
train by a railroad detective. A
magistrate freed him when he
told the purpose of his trip.

clared today.
To meet the situation, he an
nounced, men will be brought here

requirements for the CCC mem
bers at Fort Dupont and Fort
Hunt who have, or will be,
dropped from the rolls next
month.
Thirty of the men will be sent

BROADERPOWER
FORD.C.H HEADS
SUPPORTED
Sen. King Plan Backed by Pat
McCarran, Who Wants Speci-
fiC Authority Enumerated

Acceleration has been given dur
ing recent weeks to the proposal
that the District Commissioners
be vested with increased powers
to overcome the necessity of Con-
gress having to legislate on many
questions which could more easily
and properly be acted upon d.
rectly by the District heads.
A bill designed to effect such
a purpose was introduced in the
last session of Congress by Sena-
tor William H. King CD OF
Utah, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, but died in the
closing hours because of the OBJ
lection registered by Senator Pat
McCarran CD of Nevada.
McCarran Backs 1t
The Nevadan, however, is not
only unopposed to the result
sought to be obtained by such
legislation, but said today that he
expects to aid in pushing such
proposal at the next session.
He pointed out that his objec-
lions to the King measure were
based on the theory that
that proposition was so worded
that he feared it may not succeed
in affecting the purpose for which
it was designed.
The bill of the Utah Senator
proposed that blanket authority
be given the District Commits
sioners to act on propositions on
which Congress must now legiS-
late.
This language, according to
Senator McCarran's interpreta-
ton, would be ambiguous, since
Congress is vested with authority
to legislate in blanket form for
the District.
More Specific Bill
Senator McCarran's idea is that
the Congress should turn over to
the Commissioners authority over
certain specified matters which
should be definitely enumerated in
the bill.
In all probability the Senate
District subcommittee which has
been named to study a potential
reorganization of the national
Capital municipal government will
scrutinize this matter thoroughly
this summer and will have a rec
ommendation to make when Con-
greSS conVeneS.

THE reason is that the spirit Of the modern
Russian circus, dear to the hearts of
millions of peasants and factory workers
throughout the Soviet Republic, Is not based on
the immortal phrase coined by P. T. Barnum,
to the effect that there's a sucker born every
minute"
Rather it takes for its motto something new
in sawdust annals: For the reconstruction of
circus art; the circus in the service of socialist
reconstruction and it places at the very
top-rung of the ladder of fame in the ring
the new art Of political bufoonery which is
intrusted to the clown.
The Soviet clown uses all the timehonored
laugh provoking devices of slapping, slipping
and falling, but he also criticizes the faults Of
the workers and the system. He amuses his
audience with broad burlesque, but he inter-
sperses his comedy-turns with satirical pokes
at lazy factory employees, sabotagers and in
efficient supervisors.
He must be able to entertain, but he must
also be familiar with the aims Of his govern
ment in order to mix his gay humors with
criticisms of the bureaucracy, careerism and
the bad habit of travelling from one part OF
the country to another to look for better job.
a Russian custom which has created serious
labor turnover.
Not long ago Vitalli Lazarenko. who is aptly
called the first shock brigadier Of clowning.
received great honor as the father Of the new
art of political buffoonery. He was famous in
pre-Soviet days as a brilliant and courageous
jester who poked fun at the Gar when such
antics might mean a trip to the Siberian wilds:
today he goes to towns where large industrial
projects are under way, observes what flaws
may be retarding the speed and efficiency OF
the work, weaves pointed criticism into his
humorous dialogue and actions.
Thus his clowning has come to be an active
part of the political system, often squirting
the workers to greater activity more effectively
than hours of political speeches or innumcr-
able pages of printed pamphlets.
Certainly it stands to rcasoc that If circus
folk are really considered part Of the political
as well the entertainment life of the nation.
they must be equipped to give their audiences
inspiration to work with renewed energy as
well as relaxation from toll. They must UNDER
stand political economy as well as the tricks
of their trade, and the best place to learn both
is in school whose faculty includes both eX-
pert gymnasts and trained pedagogues.
