Only Two Persons in Capital
Have Duty of Handling
Recovery Problems

washington, the Capital of the
Nation, is the only section of the
United States in which a large
governmental organization to adj
minister and enforce MIRA regu-
lations locally has not yet been
formed.
This revelation came today,
after investigation revealed that
MIRA compliance units, often
numbering dozens of employees,
have been set up in each of the
48 States, while the District of
Columbia has no such official,
permanent unit.
In the District, however, which
pays more taxes than Is of the
48 States combined, there are
only two salaried persons definite
ly charged with handling local
MIRA affairs.
They are Major Raymond j.
Walter, recently appointed to a
position with the National Re-
covery Administration, and his
secretary, Miss Inez Warren
Inquiry today revealed that
Major Walter is doing the work
of three men, laboring from 9
in the morning to 10 or II O'Clock
at night nearly every day. Pres,
sure of local NRA compliance
work is as great here as in many
States, yet the entire work devolves
upon one man.

COLPOY'S OkAY

Senator King. who besides being
chairman of the Senate District
Committee also is chairman Of
the Senate Judiciary subcom-
mittee in charge of the NOM

ment.
The Senate Judiciary Com

and if Senator King is able to
be present next Monday, it is eX-
pected Mr.. Colpoys' nomination
will be approved by the Senate
early in the week.
The Senate District Committee
was scheduled to meet this week
to consider the reports of the
Investigations made by subcom-
mittees into the bread and milk
industries in washington. These
matters probably will not be con-
Sidered until next week, due to
the absence of the chairman.

Dominican orator, sounded a
warning at a military mass at
tended by members of the Amer

Father Smith said:
"The American people Shn"'d
avoid foreign squabbles and be
on the alert against any g-~->.y
nation that may be enviOus of
our prestige"
Then, pointing his finger at de-
tachments of Legtonnaires in uni
form, he said in a loud, clear
voice.
'LegiOnnaires, we trust in you
to keep the name of George
Washington unSullied."
LegionnaireS from various posts
attended the services, with
company of Marines from the
Marine Barracks acting as guard
of honor. AS a climax to the i'm
pressive service, the Marines,
standing at attention, presented
arms at the conservation at a
signal by Bugler R. L. Knapp. of
Costello Post.
Led by members of Costello
Post, the Legionnaires filed into
the church and massed their
colors on either side of the altar.
The Rev. DR.. John K. Cart
wright, pastor of the church, ex-
tended invitations to all members
of the Legion to attend the an.
nual mass so as to carry on the
example set by the late the Rev.
Francis j. Hurney, who inaugu-
rated the service three years ago,
Among those present was the
Rev. Jules A. Baisnee, of Catho-
lie University, who lost an arm
while serving with France during
the war.
