CODE |NFR|NCERS
TO Be PROSECUTED
Justice Department Collects
Evidence Against Gaso-
line Dealers.

Gas station operators violating the
N. R. A. labor provisions will be prose-
cuted, the District Of Columbia Pc
troleum Committee announced today,
in revealing that the Justice De-
partment is being supplied with evi-
dences of violations and has prom
ised speedy action.
The committee said some dealers
have been found to work their en-
ployes longer than the 6-day, 48-hour
week, practice which is working
hardships on other gas station oper-
ators who are trying to live up to
N. R. A. code provisions.
The local Petroleum Code Committee
met yesterday to consider the viola
tions and said later that its investi-
gators had been instructed to speed
up the gathering of evidence against
violators.
Delays Alleged.
THE slowneSs with which certain
large oil companies act to correct
abuses and code violations was the
subject Of attack by committee men,
bers," according to statement issued
last night by the Code Committee
Such delays, legitimate or otherwise,
often enable the guilty party to con-
tinue the violation alleged until the
report finally reaches the proper Off
cial, often located in another city,
and his verdict finally filters back to
Washington.
I'm such cases delays react to the
offenders benefit. and the injured, or
complaining party, is penalized for
his patience To obviate this con-
dition the committee decided to report
all local violations direct to the presi-
dents of the respective oil companies" f"
Heavy Penalty Provided.
The committee said illegal rebates
and discounts given to retail pur-
chasers of gasoline ARE causing some
dealers good deal of worry" and
added the committees investigators
rapidly are gathering evidence of
these acts. Convictions, the COM
mittee warned, lays a dealer or .
major company open to heavy
penalties.

Administrator Ickes has outlawed
gasoline contracts for delivery In tank
trucks and that owners of truck
fleets, delivery cars and busses, who
have felt themselves bound by the
contracts, are free to resume business
without fear of prosecution.
A stabilization committee for the
District soon will be appointed, it was
announced, for the purpose of setting
fair and equitable prices for deliv-

also was reported in efforts to

MT. VERNON BANK

Arrangements Being Made
to Terminate Conservator-
ship Tomorrow.

Arrangements were being made to-
day to terminate the conservatorship
Of the Mount Vernon Savings Bank
tomorrow morning, In order that final
details may be worked out for OPEN
ing the institution, at Massachusetts,

ters of the new Mechanics-Franklin

This will free about 100000 to about
10000 depositors.
Control to Directors.
Conservator A. o. Wharton, who
has been In charge of the institution
since 1t was refused a license to re-
open after the Presidents banking
holiday last March, will turn the con-
troll Of the institution back to its d.
rectors. This will enable the directors
to sell the prime and liquid assets of
the bank to the Washington Me-
chanics' Savings Bank, q going insti.
tuition, about which the new merger
centers. The depositors Of the Mount
Vernon will get 40 per cent Of their
deposits when the bank opens.
Before checks can be drawn against
this new account, however, depositors
in the Mount Vernon must sign sig
nature cards and get their pass books.
Assets Of the Mount Vernon re-
manning will be liquidated by Robert
Highfleld, q vice president Of the

w YASHINGTONS attack on
\A/ the snow which fell Sun
wv day has been inadequate
ana represents only the
minimum Of effort neces-
sary to get main traffic arteries omen I"
according to survey Of four days of
eHort at snow removal by the District
branch of the American Automobile
Association. This" according to H.
A. Montgomery of the association, "is
quite clearly the result of a lack of
policy and the lack of sufficient use
OF the equipment which the District
owns, particularly on Sunday and
Monday"
The association had criticized the
handling OF the snow last Monday, but
return to the attack today in the
hope OF attaining something construc-
tive in the way of a program for
meeting future emergencies through
cooperative effort with other inter-
ested groups.
Opposes Higher Gas Tax.
"All interested agencies" Mr.. Mont
gomery continued, Should get to-
gether and insist on q snow removal
program far in excess of this mini
mum. If the money is not available,
then the A. A. A. is sure that motor
lists will do their share toward pro-
curing more. Public authorities should
turn their attention to securing the
money necessary for this work rather
than to helping Maryland and Vir-
ginia by raising the gasoline tax
THE removal Of snow should be
regarded not as a problem Of city
refuse, but as an engineering problem
to be handled by the Highway De-
partment. There is no doubt that,
as a result Of failure to move the
coating of ice on the city streets
for the past four weeks, there will
be a large repair bill coming next
Spring bill probably larger than
any amount it might take to have
removed this snow as it fell.
In the suburban sections there
are many motorists who have not
been able to drive without chains
for weeks.
The problem has not been met in
a manner to be expected Of Wash
ington."
Plan Tried in 1926.
The suggestion for a conference Of
interested agencies recalls that this
method was tried once before It re-
suited in the snow-removal plan of
1925, which was then supposed to
have solved the city's snow-removal
problem for the future. The plan
worked for q while, but the city has
now returned to conditions almost as
bad as those which gave impetus to
the original plan.
The year 1925 started in Washing

lyzed traffic for days, cut off large Sec

Virginia from communication with
the Capital. raised a storm of pro-
test over inadequate efforts of the
city to rid the streets of the result

There are some interesting parallels
between the history Of that 8-inch fall
and the 6la-inch blanket which COW
cred the city last Sunday and out
of which it is still trying to crawl
When we recall that on Tuesday and
Wednesday there were some $500

Long-Awaited Touchdown.

AN OFFSIDE penalty moved the
n ball up to the Cadets 5-yard
line and Parquette cracked the
powerful Army frontier with his thin
shoulders. His touchdown was the
first one Harvard has scored against
the Cadets since 1881, when Barry
Wood filled the air with Crimson
passes for a last-minute 14-13 tri-
umph.
An exchange of punts put the Ca
diets In position for their first score
when George Ford, one of the Har-
ward pony backs, kicked outside on his

the Texan triple-threat tossed a pass
to Grove in the end zone.
Stancook paved the way for the
second touchdown by intercepting a
Harvard pass and running 1t back So
yards to Harvard's three-yard mark,
from where Grohs, who replaced the
injured Ralph King after the first
score, ploughed over.
Another short Harvard punt, from
its to its 30, started the third Army
drive, a brief but bruising one, that
ended with Buckler making another
aerial contact with Grove. The Army's
fourth and final touchdown came after

ball juggernaut thundered on
toward the Pacific Coast Con-
ference championship and Rose Bowl

24-to-0 victory over the previously un-
beaten, united University of Washing

status as an unbeaten eleven and ap-
parently clinched the right to repre-
sent the West for the second success
sive year in the New Year day classic

Only California remains on STAN
ford's conference schedule and on the
basis of comparative scores should not
produce enough strength to check the
drive of the Indians.
Only once did Stanford take to the
air. Bobby Grayson led the attack
and defense that sent Washington
tumbling to its first defeat of the sea-
son and the worst beating since Cali
fornia ran up a 33to-0 count last

Two times Grayson intercepted
passes and ran for touchdowns In

snatch Ahonen's toss and dodge back
IS yards for touchdown shortly after

its largest crowd of the season.
The rip-roaring Army backs, behind
the tank-line blocking of their advance

a point-a minute rate during the first
half, as Right Halfback Whitley Grove
carried over two of Waco Jack Buck

Grohs, sub quarterback, Iploughed over
for two more.
The Harvard touchdown, rammed
over by the 137-pound Bill Parquette,
a highly skilled passer, came late in
the second period, after the Army fire
had ceased. Maury Simons intercept
ed one of Parquette's longer heaves on
the Cadets 10-yard line, but fumbled
on the first play and Henry Adlis,
sophomore tackle, recovered for Har-
