A fish that goes fishing with
rod, line and hooks-even with
lights to guide its prey-was de-
scribed last night by DR.. William
Beebe, who has gone down deeper
in the ocean than any other man,
without staying down.
DR.. Beebe spoke before the Ma
tional Geographic Society in Con-
Stitution Hall.
Besides the fish that has its
fishing tackle protruding from
it's head, DR.. Beebe told of other
strange creatures found when ne
and Otis Barton went uoWn 3,O28
feet off Bermuda in their "bathy-
sphere" last August.
There was the 54-inch eel with
scarlet tail light and iridescent
scales; the shrimp that explodes
a light like a rocket and throws
off a smoke screen to BATTLE its
foes; and so on.
DR.. Beebe said he expects to re-
turn to Bermuda next spring to
continue his underwater studies.
He predicted that scientists some
day will descend six miles.

Union Declares Views of large,
VitaIIy Interested Group
Were Ignored

Numerous protests against the
proposed ban on parking on more
than So miles of Washington's
streets brought assurances to-
day from the District Commis-
sioners that no action will be
taken for more than a week.
In the event that a more eff
cient and less drastic plan is not
advanced by local citizenry, the
proposed ban may be modified as
to the length of time it is to be
effective and as to the hours.
The original recommendations
of the Traffic Advisory Council
would ban parking from 2 a. m.
to $50 a. m. from December
is to March l.
Hazen, Sultan Approve
Both Commissioners Melvin c.
Hazen and Daniel I. Sultan nave
expressed their approval OF some
plan to facilitate snow removal.
Commissioner Sultan stated to-
day that as vet there has been
no agreement on which streets
the ban is to affect, but indicated
that the proposal of the council
may be modified in this respect.
The Engineer Commissioner
pointed out that the ban was
not a wedge to prohibit all-nigh5
parking. He said he opposed an
allnight ban at this time, al
though he favored it in principle.
U. S. Workers Protest
Edgar Graham, chairman Of
the District of Columbia Fedora
ton of Government Employees,
sent a letter to the Commission
ers protesting that Government
employees had not been invited
to attend to public hearing yes
terday. The letter stated:
"Our representative was pre-
pairing to attend, but, upon
calling by phone for infOrma-
ton as to the place Of meeting,
he was much chagrined to learn
from your secretary that at
tendance was limited to in
vited persons only"

PRISON POST
Former Welfare Board Men,
ber Recalls Plan to Promote
Men Now in Service

"COI. w. L. Peak is the best
prison warden in the United
States, and the Board of Public
Welfare will be standing in its
own light by appointing any
one eISe."
This is the statement of a
former member of the Board Of
Public Welfare, Edward j. New
comb, 2100 block Nichols Ave. S E.,
who helped in the original SeleC-
ton of Colonel Peak after visiting
prisons in several neighboring
States. Mr.. NeWcomb added:
Colonel Peak is a born ad-
ministratOr of prisons. He is
fine diSciplinarian in addition
to being human and humane.
He knows how to handle men
in and out Of prison. His rec
ord at the District Jail and at
Lorton RefOrmatOry is enough
to make him unqueStiOnably the
proper man to appoint as super
intendent of District penal in.
StitutiOns to succeed Capt. Nj.
M. Barnard.
RECALLS PROMISE
When Colonel Peak was made
superintendent of the reform
atOry after a fine record at the
Jail, there was a definite under
standing that he was to be
made superintendent of all
penal institutions when Captain
Barnard stepped out. The Op-
pOrtunity now has come to keep
that promise.
II do not see why the Board
of Public welfare is going out
side Of the present organiza-
tiOn to find a man.
'The law distinctly states that
the Board of Public Welfare
shall appoint the superintendent
of penal institutions, and that
the appointee shall be confirmed
by the District Commissioners.
1t looks to me as if the board
was being forced to make a
choice against its will or against
its better judgment.
ut should be recalled that
when E1wOod Street was ap-
pointed to the post of Director
of Public Welfare in his first
address he promised that he
N'Ould adopt a policy of pro-
noting people within the ex-
iSting organization"
WRITES TO STREET
Mr.. NeWcomb declared he had
written a letter to Mr.. Street, call
ing attention to the fact that
Colonel Peak is the proper ap-
pointee, in his opinion, and re-
minding Mr.. Street of his promise
to promote men of ability already
in the service. Mr.. Street replied
that it was still his intention to
carry out that policy, but that
he could not sacrifice the princi,
pie of getting the best people.
Mr.. NeWcomb said:
personally, 1 think the best
people are here now and should
be recognized"

TOWNS DEMAND

Representatives of Is incorpor-

county will meet at the Riverdale
fire house next Tuesday night to
discuss the roads situation in the
commission took control of con-
struction year ago.
Town officials throughout the
county have expressed dissatisfac-
ton with the new system, COM
planning that the towns are not
receiving their allotments from the
roads commission under the gas
tax with enough regularity to keep
up the work on their roads. Some
towns complain that they haven't
received any money from the COM
mission during the last six months.
Feeling that conditions were
better when the towns took care
of their own roads, municipal au-
thorities will express their views
at the meeting Tuesday, with the
idea of amending or modifying
legislation passed last year and
presenting a new plan to the gen-
eral assembly, which convenes next

RAIL SHORTAGE

Fixtures Made BY Only
Few Companies
By EARL GOODWIN

Subways in the District of Co
lumbia are actually under consid.
Grafton by the various officials
charged with city planning, admin.
istration and the regulation Of
public utilities.
But they will not be made a
matter of regulation or order or of
Federal legislation until the Pub
lie Utilities Commission has
cleared up the problems connected
with the existing trackage.
Furthermore, the orders which
the commission has issued provid-
ing the track changes are being
carried out very slowly because of
the difficulty of getting the sort
of track used by the Capital
Transit Company.
Demand Is Small
There are only two cities now
using such track. and only two
manufacturers who make the con-
duit track used in the District.
One of these cities is New York,
where. it is understood, tbs type
of track is to be abandoned. That
will leave only one occasional Gus
toner for a highly specialized
track, with its conduit underpin-
nings and slot.
Practically all the short cuts and
other track changes necessary to
carry out the recent Public Util1-
ties Commission plans have been
ordered, except those in the finan'
cial district. There are several
proposals, among them a short
cut which would carry street cars
down Fifteenth Street from H
Street Northwest, which is op-
posed by practically every banker
and business man on that short
block.
There is the proposal to run
the Fourteenth Street C a S
straight down Fourteenth Street
to Pennsylvania Avenue. There
is a proposal to route cars
straight across H Street North
west and get into the shopping
district that way.
None of these plans has been
adopted, and until the questions
presented by these SUGGESTIONS
which were in the Beeler plans.
have beer determined, the COM
plete plan for eliminating down.
town street car curves will not be
annddnced.
Plan Hits Snag
There is a hitch in the plans to
run cars up Eighteenth Street and
down Nineteenth Street Northwest
below Pennsylvania Avenue, be-
cause of the possibility that the
new Interior Department Build
ing will have a series OF ramps
which will disgorge automobiles
onto the car tracks.
There is also serious proposal
among city planners, none OF
whom will permit use of his name,
to run the Fourteenth Street cars
under Thomas Circle; also for an
underpass or "duckunder" at Du'
pont Circle.
Street car tracks congest traffic
at those points and the plan to
run the tracks around the east side
of Dupont Circle instead of the
west side has met with strong op.
position from residents of the
neighborhood. wever, the

claimed and issued on the 25th day Of

serve to the debtor the possession and

Of time during which the debtor may
himself file appropriate petition IN
federal court for relief under the
Frazier Leuake act. On the one hand
debtors In d1stress Shall be protected
to the full extent Of the executive
power until they have had opportun-
tty to investigate, understand, and
take advantage Of said bankruptcy

feet that this act Of congress does
not require Z bankruptcy proceeding

procedure to bring about compromise
and consultation between the debtor
and his creditors under supervision Of
court Tor the benefit OF both parties.
The debtor need not be insolvent. He
may take advantage Of the act though
the value Of his property exceeds many
times the amount Of his debts. It re-
quires no wholesale reputation or
cancellation Of debt but makes pos
sible . Just and honorable read
jristment Of the debtors financial
status to his own satisfaction.

that there are legitimate. honorable
and necessary credit transactions Of

may b debtors, given abundant op-
portunity to take advantage Of the

theless refuse to aid themselves. Such
cases win be individually considered
