BAN ON PARKING
CALLED PERIL
To MIRA
Business Men Say Employees
May Be Reduced; Ask for
Investigation

Declaring that the ban of park
ing during the day in the down.
town section of washington was
contrary to the purposes Of the
NRA, merchants with stores in
the section have written to the
Labor Department asking for an
investigation, it was learned to-
day.
Cecil Kaufman, president of
the Seventh Street Business
Mems Association, said merchants
have protested on the grounds
that the prohibition Of day park
ing has reduced business to such
an extent that the merchants will
be forced to reduce the number
of employees. This, he added, is
contrary to the recovery program.
New Rule Condemned
At a meeting of Seventh Street
merchants last night, 1913 per-
sons out of an attendance Of 1876
roundly condemned the new re-
striction. OF the two who did
not express any voice, one said
that he didn't know just what
position to take.
The merchants attending the
meeting represented stores along
Seventh Street from Pennsyl-
vania Avenue to K Street North
west. Attendance was not re-
stricted to members Of the as
Sociation, Mr.. Kaufman pointed
out.
Petitions were circulated and
signed asking that the 30-day
trial ban be lifted Immediately,
especially in view of the fact
that traffic congestion from $3.50
to 9:30 a. m. and 4::30 to $50
p. m. "still exists and has not
been alleviated."
Against Congestion
The group declared it was in
agre ement with any plan of cor
recting traffic, congestion "as
long as it does not bring about
discriminatory hardships."
The petition, in part, claims:
"That it tends to decentral-
ize shopping habits of the COM
munity, and will ultimately tend
toward forcing large proportions
of the business now being done
in the metropolitan area to out
lying segregated shopping points.
"That because as an aSSOcia-
tiOn, we feel that our business,
and business as a whole, has
been subjected to very trying
and lean times the past four
years, and that this bit of legis-
lati0n creates these additional
hardships, and in the face Of
said conditions it is unfair to
further levy discriminatory rul-
ing"

Two persons were confined to

D. c. F|C|ALS
ASKED To GET
DATA READY
Senator Capper Also to Seek
Added Funds for Local
Schools

Senators friendly to the Dis.
trict initiated a defenite move
ment in the Senate today to
seek at least the $5,7O0,OO0 lump
sum Federal contribution to the
District recommended by the
Bureau of the Budget, as the
District appropriation measure
was transmitted from the House.
The bill, carrying total ap-
preparations of only $31,309,377
for the fiscal year 1885 was re.
ferred to the Appropriations
Committee where hearings will
begin as soon as possible next
week to come before his subcom.
which Senator Elmer Thomas
CD of Oklahoma is chairman.
d. C. Heads to Be Called
Senator Thomas explained to-
day that he has written to the
District Commissioners asking
them to give careful considera.
ton to the bill as passed by the
House, and be ready early next
wee kto come before his subcom.
mittee and make their recon-.
mendations. He said he will do
everything possible to expedite
Senate consideration of the meas
ure.
Referring to the action of the
House yesterday in reducing the
Federal GoVernment'S contribution
from $5,7OO,0OO as recommended
by the budget, to $4,364,295, Sen
ator Thomas indicated he will
make an effort to have at least
the original figure restored. He
would not commit himself def
nitely, however, until he has had
more opportunity to study the
House action and hear the testi-
mony during the hearings.
Capper To Aid Fight
Senator Arthur Capper (R.)
Of Kansas who as an ex-officio
member of the Senate appropria.
tions subcommittee in charge of
the bill, always. has taken an &C.
tive part in the deliberations, to.
day voiced strong objection to
the House action of yesterday
and asserted he will fight to
have the lump sum amount in
creased.
Senator Capper also declared
he hopes to get additional ap.
preparations for the District
schools, but he is not yet pre-
pared to say just how large an
increase in this item he will
seek.
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the Sen.
ate District Committee, and an
ex-officio member of the sub
committee, declined to take a
definite stand on the lump sum
issue but implied that he thought
the House acion Of yeserday was
unjusified.
AS sent to the Senate today
the bill maintains the tax rate
at $3.50 instead of reducing it to
$1.2O as recommended by the
committee. It does carry, how
ever, provision for a Is per cent
water rate reduction and an in
crease in meterage allowance.
The most controversial item
facing the upper chamber Is
whether to restore the $1,335, ,705
struck out Of the Federal share
of expenses.

True To

Cannon, War, Taxes,
Country Clubs
and Harvard
BY GILBERT SELDES

There was a time when a
Harvard man couldn't say boo
to o goose (if he would ever
be caught talking to a gooSe)
without causing commotion in
the newspapers. To-day the
Harvard undergraduates can
come out for Jeffersonian De-
mocracy or defend the man.

editorial notice.
It is clear that Harvard is
losing its punch, and unless
something is done the Under
takers Song will rise clear
and loud and cheerful in New
Haven.
The Harvard boys, as a mat
ter Of record, were extremely
sensible the other day. A few

come statesmen, I an i'm
pressed.
Shouting down the pacifists,
the young men Of Harvard were
more realistic and intelligent
than most jingos. They yelled:
1--WE Want Capitalism! We
Want Cannonfire!" And, as
supreme effort, I'VE want more
taxes!"
Good Logical Boys
Mr.. Conant has not been long
in office as president of our
Oldest university, but already
his boys have learned logic;
they have learned to connect
cause and effect, which is one
Of the hardest things for human
beings to learn. They know
that wars are not exactly pre-
vented by the kind of capital
ism we have experienced in the
past; they know that war means
cannonfire and death and de-
struction; and they know that
destruction means taxes.
I applaud their intelligence
and their irony. The pacifists
may smart under ridicule, but
they can thank the hecklers for
the best argument of the year.
On another point, some young
men Of Harvard have also come
into the open. One Boston news.

group is rebelling against the
democratic housing system, "the
purpose Of which is to make
each house crosS-section of the
entire student body"
This plan forces them to
live in the same building with
men Of different creeds, politi-
cal opinions, and social posi-
tions." They prefer a "con-
genial group" to a representa-
tive, but less congenial group"
Rejecting the Rich?
I understood their feeling.

I haven't found the denial of

it will come. There is an air
