PAROLE HEARINGS
FIGHT COMPROMISED
Sessions to Be Held in District
and Lorton on Alternate
Weeks.

A compromise was reached yester-
day between the Parole Board and
the Board of Public Welfare over the
question of whether parole hearings
should be held in Washington or at
the District Reformatory at Lorton,
Va. as has been the practice.
In a joint session with the District
Commissioners, the two bodies agreed
to hold the hearings in Washington
one week and at the reformatory the
next week.
This alternate plan was partial
victory for members of the Parole
Board, who had insisted that the
prisoners be brought to Washington
for hearings, arguing that too much
time was lost by members Of the board
in travelling to and from Lorton.
The Welfare Board had opposed
this plan on the ground that it would
not be wise to transport prisoners to
Washington.
The hearings here will be held at
some guarded place. such as one Of
the police precinct stations or the
District Jail

He said yesterday:
Il think that this is the best present
solution of the crisis of education, and
we are hopeful it will have the ap-
proval of the White House
The measure provides there shall be

one year "and in no sense shall it be
considered as the beginning of any
permanent policy Of the Federal Gov

LOBBY warning
ON JOHNSON BILL
0'Connor Charges Utilities
Attempt to Put Through
Lewis Measure.

BY the Associated Press.
Assertions that powerful lobby
was trying to wreck the johnson bill,
which would take away from utility
companies the right to appeal to Fed
eral courts against rates imposed by
State commissions, sprang up yester-
day in the House.
Representative O'Connor, Democrat,
Of New York. opposing the Lewis sub
stitute to allow utility companies to
use either State or Federal courts, but
prohibit the transfer Of their appeals
from commission decisions from one
court to the other, said:
THE utilities lobby knows some
thing is coming to them.
Prefer to Go Halfway"
They prefer to go halfway rather
than take their licking. So they will
favor the Lewis bill"
AS the johnson bill came from the
Senate it would require utility COM
panieS to contest their cases in State
courts, with the right Of appeal only
to the United States Supreme Court.
The Lewis substitute was reported
by a close vote from the House Ju-
dietary Committee.
Before the debate got under way
the House adopted a rule which will
permit Chairman Summers, Democrat.
Of Texas of the Judiciary Committee
to move the adoption OF the original
johnson bill.
Rate Cases Transferred.
Summers said utility companies had
transferred rate cases from State to
Federal courts to delay the effective
ness OF lower rates ordered by State
commissions.
Representative Lewis, Democrat. of
Colorado, author of the substitute
agreed that hearings before the Ju-
dietary Committee Showed abuses
existing in the present Federal pro-
cedure." but added:
The abuses by the utility COM
panles are small or about one-eighth

BERLIN, May 9-Sweden, it was
indicated yesterday, has joined Great
Britain and France in a firm stand
against any German plan to postpone
payments on the Dawes and Young
loans.
Official announcement was made
that C. E. Wersen, Swedish Minister
to Berlin, had lodged a debt protest
with the German foreign office. Both
the foreign Office and the Swedish
legation declined to divulge details of
the communication.
The action, it was learned, con-
cerned discrimination against Swed-
ish creditors" Observers we're con-
vinced, however. that the diplomatic
step relates to the Young and Dawes
loans, in which Sweden has definite
interest. Warnings from France and
Great Britain against postponed pay
ments were delivered April 81.

Cost to U. S. Deplored.
The report adopted by the confer
ence suggesting governmental control
said: If the objectives for a national
broadcasting program are to be real
lied adequate support must be pro-
vided. The Government should cease
mourning expense for the protection
OF channels for the benefit of private
monopoly, without insuring commend
able programs satisfactory to citizen
listeners"
The policy Of Government control,
the report emphasized, need not i'm
ply full Government ownership or
operation, nor should it preclude
governmental units owning and op-
Grating stations"
Would Limit Censorship.
Neither must offensive censorship
necessarily follow" the report added,
any more than it does in the post
Office or the telegraph today"
The resolutions were prepared by a
