Gradual elimination of bill
boards in residential sections is
planned in a report of the Dis
trict's special sign committee,
submitted today to Major John
C. Gotwals, Engineer Comms-
soner.
The committee recommended
that the General outdoor Adver-
tsing Company be permitted to
erect 46 billboards of stsel and
concrete construction, in 19 To-
cations in the city. These signs
would replace wooden billboards.
The company had asked per-
mission to replace billboards in
20 locations. Four locations, con-
tanning 10 boards, were disap-
proved, since they are in loca-
tions in which it has been de-
cided to Danish billboards.
The committee plan calls for
removal of one billboard in a
residential section for each board
replaced or rehabilitated in the
business and commercial sections.
In this way signs eventually
would be eliminated from the
residential districts.

hurt by the depression, the most
hard hit has been the middle
aged woman, and although some
little work relief has been af-
forded her, there still remains
much to be done.
This comment was made today
by Mrs. Margaret Fragstein,
representing Governor Albert
Schmedemann, of Wisconsin, at
the White House conference of
welfare leaders, in indorsing the
proposal to establish resident
schools" for the relief of unem-
ployed women.
Mrs. Fragstein. who is also di-
rector of the women's division
of the Democratic State Com
mittee of Wisconsin, declared that
if money were available, the
schools would serve a definite
need. She stated:
"We must look at the value
Of these schools from a long
term viewpoint, rather than as
q means Of hastily providing
employment for unemployed
women.
"Of course, actual relief work
must be taken care of first
from relief funds"
The schools are a combination
school and camp for the indus
trial training of women.

D. {. MILK PACT.
AGAIN LOOMS

Two conflicting milk marketing
agreements for the Washington
area submitted to the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration many
months ago still are pending, and
may yet be the basis Of a local
milk pact, it was learned today.
Pending agreements for this and
other areas were overlooked" for
several weeks while the AAA was
sounding out sentiment in the
dairy industry for a nationwide
attack on the milk problem
through production control.
Now that the national scheme
has been abandoned, however, it
is possible that the old marketing
pacts, with revisionS to fit new
AAA policies, may be put into
operation here and elsewhere.
In Washington it would be
necessary either to combine the
existing proposals, drop one, or
draw up an entirely new one.
AAA officials expressed the
opinion that the matter will rest
principally upon further action
from the two bodies which orig.
inally introduced the pacts.

BUSINESS MEN
MAP WAR ON
PARKING BAN
Joint Committee Ponders 3
Lines OF Attack; Claim Stores
Are Hard Hit

Sharpening their axes against
the ban on downtown parking in
the daytime, the joint committee
of merchant and civic groups met
this morning to formulate their
case for presentation to the Com.
missioners at the public hearing
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Three lines of attack were un-
Ger consideration. The Commits
sionerS have expressed doubt that
the parking prohibition has seri.
ously hurt business. In answer,
the merchants will present Ques-
tionnaireS filled out by the mer-
chants as evidence.
Protests Pouring In
Protests lodged with the various
trade organizations of the city will
be brought out. The Chamber of
Commerce, Board of Trade, Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, and Seventh Street BuSi-
ness Mems Association have been
deluged with protests against the
ban.
Another line Of attack open to
the contesting group is the merits
of the substitute plan presented
to the Commissioners by the joint
committee.
In this plan the merchants ad-
vocate immediate lifting of the
all-day ban and the institution of
a stringent enforcement of the
one-hour parking limit. The trade
groups have expressed themselves
in favor of the impounding law
to put teeth" into the enforce
ment Of parking regulations.
JelIeff Demands Action
Frank r. Jelleff, leading F
Street merchant, in statement
last night demanded that the ban
be lifted Immediately without
going through the procedure of a
public hearing.

SENATE GROUP
HEARS THEIR
TESTIMONY
Chain Bridge, High Schools
Are Among Projects Sought
From Committee

Representatives of several civic
organizations appeared before the
Senate District Appropriations
subcommittee today to urge in.
creases in the budget allowance
for numbers of projects under
the District supply bill.
DR.. Llewellyn Jordan and
George C. Shinn, of the Board Of
Trace, asked that $4,000 be ap-
propriated for a survey for a new
Chain Bridge. This was also
asked by the Conduit Road Citi.
zens Association and the Fedora"
ton of Citizens Associations.
An appropriation of $4,000 for
plans for an addition to the East
ern High School was prepared
by A. H. Gregory, of the Eastern
High Home and School Assocta'
ton. This was also urged by
Evan H. Tucker of the Northeast
Citizens Association.
Asks Orphans Aid
Appropriation of $4,000 to aid
in educating the 109 war orphans
in the District was asked by Maj.
Gen. P. C. Harris, retired, on
behalf of the American Legion.
Funds to complete the Ana
costa and jefferson Junior High
Schools and an increase in the
budget of the Anacostia Commun"
ity Center of from $500 to $4,000
was asked by Harry N. Stull, OF
the Federation of Citizens Asso'
Citations. ....
The Social Hygiene Society will
ask an appropriation of $4,000 to
establish clinic.
Wants Welding Glasses
U. S. Marshal John B. Colpoys,
representing the Building Trades
Council and the Central Labor
Union, will ask that $4,000 be
transferred from the summer
school fund to start classes in cleo
trio welding, pointing out that
there were several hundred per-
sons desirous of learning this
trade.
A new. five-year building pro-
gram for District schools was
urged by Charles D. Stengle, presi.
dent of the District Public School
Association, while Mrs. Leslie
Wright, of the Alice Deal Junior
High School, asked funds to COM
plete that school.
Senator Elmer Thomas (D0 OF
Oklahoma, chairman of the sub
committee, has announced he will
give at least two days to
witnesses, and will close the hear.
ings with final conference with
the District Commissioners and
other municipal government
heads.
Vote Seen Next Week
The subcommittee probably will
begin marking up" the bill Fri
day and have it ready to report
to the Senate early next week
with the possibility that it will
reach a vote in the Senate by the
end of next week.
Indications are that the District
will fare considerably better at
the hands of the Senate than it
did in the House where reduc-
tions in numerous items, includ.
ing the lump sum contribution,
were made, arbitrarily in the
opinion of some of the subcom'
mittee members.
1t is held almost certain that
the lump sum will be increased
from the $4,365 900 voted by the
House to at least the budget
recommendation of $5,700, 900, and
it is possible the Senate may put
the figure even higher.

MOSES, AARON, JOSHUA, JETHRO

Moses and Aaron we have already
considered in pen pictures. 1t is in
creasingly difficult to treat separately
any of these great characters who
march majestically through this per-
iod of IsraePs history. Hence today we
are introduced to two other charac-
tiers, Joshua, destined to become the
successor of Moses at the time of en-
tering Canaan; and Jethro, Moses
father-in-law, another of the actors
in this mighty drama.
A part of the introduction to Chap
ter 16 of the Exodus, reads very appro-
priately: "The Israelites came to sim"
Of course this refers to the great will
derness where they wandered for
forty years. Yet their conduct during
most Of these years sanctions the va
lidity of a very different connotation.
Here the murmurings against Moses
and Aaron rose still louder. The peo-
pie missed the flesh pots of Egypt and
longed for the good old days" when
they ate bread to the full. Dissatisfac-
ton and fault-fnding are Characters
tic of human nature. So it fell out that
when the people had enought to eat
they complained of scarcity of water.
Greater troubles than those of pro-
yiding food and drink now befell the
leaders. The Amalikites made war
upon Israel. Joshua was chosen as
captain of a hastily enlisted and very
poorly disciplined army. With the d.
vine help and the fine strategy of
Joshua their enemies were soon put
to flight.
During the brief period of peace
which followed the conflict with Anne
lex, Jethro, Moses father-in-law, came
to pay him visit, bringing Zipporah,
the wife of Moses, for sojourn with
her husband. She had been staying
with her father, the Priest of indian.

THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

The eighteenth chapter of Exodus
tells the story of this visit in charm
ing fashion. The experiences of Israel
were related to Jethro at great feast
prepared especially in his honor and
the elders of Israel were entertained
as guests. Jethro offered sacrifices and
returned thanks for the great deliv-
erance.
Jethro was deeply interested in all
the affairs of government as they
were administered by his son-in-law,
particularly in the judiciary. He quick
ly perceived that Moses was jeopar-
dizing his life by endeavoring to carry
responsibilities entirely too heavy for
any one man, however great his abil-
ity. He therefore gave some very
sound advice which Moses was sensi-
BILE enough to follow. Jethro's system
contemplated making Moses chief JUS
tice of a supreme court, while over
fifties, hundreds and thousands were
placed magistrates, able and God
fearing men, lovers of truth and hat
ing couvetousness. These men thus
shared the heavy burden of settling
the disputes of the people, and set the
great leader and statesman free to
care for the larger issues, and to
plan for the ultimate conquest of Ca
naan. Thus a system of courts was
established, roughly corresponding to
the systems still in use today. Jethro
was responsible for the first step in
the evolution of modern government,
with it's legislative, judicial and exec
utive departments. After seeing his
plan actually in operation, Jathro re-
turned to indian, doubtless well sat
isfed with the results of his visit.
The people had now come to Sinai,
where the ten words fundamental in
the laws of all civilized nations were
given by Moses. Their authority re-
mains unquestioned after more than
three thousand years.
