CINCINNATI, May 18.-At the
meeting Of the National tuberculosis
Association here yesterday resolutions
strongly urging prompt action by Con-
gress for the pending District OF
Columbia program for the better con-
troll of tuberculosis in the Nations
Capital City were unanimously adopted
on the motion of Mrs. Ernest r. Grant
executive of the District of Columbia
tuberculosis Association, as follows:
BE, it resolved:
81. That the program of tuberculosis
control for Washington, D. c., should
be made model for the entire Nation
"2. That this conference regards
the existing high tuberculosis death
rate of Washington and the city's
lack Of adequate facilities for the
control Of this communicable disease
as a disgrace to the Nation.
"3. That we respectfully urge men,
bers of Congress to vote the necessary
funds for the immediate erection of a
new and adequate adult tuberculosis
sanatorium tor the Capital City Of the
Nation. stated with the best available

TRANSIT SURVEY
TO Be MADE HERE
Park and Planning Body to
Secure st. Louis Expert
for Work.

Transit problems In the Federal
Governments new building develop
ment downtown came again to the
fore today when the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission de-
cided to secure the services Of Harland
Bartholomew, city planning expert of
, st. Louis. Mo, to make another traflc
study here.
The commission took this action,
after 1t had listened to report, pre-
pared under the supervision of its di-
rector of planning. John Nolan, jr.
Survey VIII Be Short.
Thomas s. Settle, the commissions
secretary, asserted that Mr.. Barthol-
omew's survey will be Of comparatively
short duration. probably less than a
| week. Some years ago, Mr.. Barthol-
omew prepared transit study for the
commission. The new setup, made
necessary by the moving Of thousands
of Government employees into the
structures now nearing completion in
| the triangle, will likely mean the relo-
cation Of street car tracks, Mr.. Settle
indicated
Tentative plans for the simplified
Municipal Center received commission
approval, providing that the first half
of the new home for the District
government shall form an archway
over C street. The commission de-
sires that John Marshal Place and
C street shall be kept open as traffic
arteries.
Under the new plans the Munic-
ipal Center would be constructed in
two buildings, instead Of four. The
elimination of rows of columns is
calculated materially to reduce the
cost of the structure. Mr.. Settle said.
The commission directed that more
detailed plans be presented for the
Municipal Center and turned the job
over to w. T. Partridge, its consult
ing architect. and Nathan c. Wyeth,
municipal architect

He declared that they are only so
acres. exclusive Of schools, under play
supervision facilities for children.
Triangle Plans Considered.
Plans for development Of the So
called Northwest Triangle, bounded by
New York, Virginia and Constitution
avenues, were considered today by the
Commission, looking ahead to new
needs of the Federal Government for
housing facilities for its public
servants
Electrification of the 'trackage of
the Pennsylvania Railroad in the Dis
trict was considered by the commits
sion and approval given to the program
submitted for the Magruder Passenger
Line to Union Station. The commits
sion sent back to the carriers engi-
neers for further study Of electrifica-
ton plans for its freight lines.

Dauis Misquoted
On His Opinion of
u. s. Wire Control

Manton Davis, general counsel for
the Radio Corporation Of America
was quoted yesterday in an Associated
Press article in The Star as stating
at an N. r. A. hearing that "it was
almost impossible to think the Gov
eminent of the United States would
provide new methods Of regulation fol-
the telegraph industry.
The brief filed with Deputy Admin
istrator PEBBLES shows that what Mr.
Davis said was that cit was almost i'm
possible to think the Government OF
the United States would provide two
methods of regulation.
The R. c. A. official, who does not
oppose Government regulation and
approves in some respect the proposed
code for the industry, argued In his
brief that with two regulatory bodies
leach of which would have jurisdic-
ton to determine the reasonableness
of a particular rate" one might de-
termine that rates were reasonable
and the other that the same rates
were unreasonable.
In his testimony Davis had said the
proposed code would regulate a great
many matters already covered by the
interstate commerce act and the legis-
lation for a communications commits
sion now pending in Congress.

JEWISH CAMPAIGN
ENTERS FINAL STAGE

Workers In the United Jewish Ap-
peal entered the final stages Of the
s35, 900 drive with new zeal yesterday
following a rally Wednesday night at
the Jewish Community Center.
The meeting was the most produc-
tive since the start Of the drive three
weeks ago. More than $4,000 in con-
tributions were reported, bringing the
total over the $4,000 mark.
Isidore Hershfleld, drive chairman,
called upon the workers to set 1900
contributions as their goal. To date
only about 600 givers have been
reached, he said. making the average
contribution about $40.
Mrs. Charles A. Goldsmith. member
Of the District Board Of Public We'll
fare, told the workers that S35.000 is
not too great a sum to ask Of Wash
ington Jewry to help relieve suffering
and destitution among the German
Jewish refugees.
Dr. Jacob Sonderling, formerly one
Of Germany's leading rabbis, told the
audience "the chapter called the his
tory of the Jews in Germany is cosed."
He declared the persecution Of Ger
man Jews is mot the making Of one
man but the conviction of 10000. 900
people," A former chaplain in the
German army, DR.. Sonderling de-
scribed scenes in Berlin soon after the
Nazis came into power.

All through the Winter months in
their native Germany, Helen, Carl,
Herman and Joseph had toiled with
a new trick, preparatory to the New
York opening of Ringing Bros. and
Barnum & Bailey. They had per-
formed three-high stunts on the high
wire in America for six years. But
imitators had taken the edge off the
stunt-they must have something
new.
Failed for Months.
You can't do that" they were
told as they tried the three-high BIZ
cycle act. over a net stretched a mat
ter Of inches under the wire. For
months they failed. Tumbles, even
at that height, were dangerous. They
were bruised and shaken as the
bicycles, the chair and the 40-pound
balancing poles dropped into the net
on top Of them.
They perfected the act finally, Just
in time to catch the Bremen. which
was to dock in New York a day be-
fore the opening. The Bremen nosed
into heavy weather and for three days
the Great Wallendas were very ill.
The liner was delayed a whole day
and when she docked there was little
time to prepare
Still sick and wobbling on sea legs,
the Wallendas went on for their first
public exhibition of the new trick.
Three generations before them in the
circus had taught them never to break
an engagement.

Caught in Mid-Air.
Her brothers had caught Helen in
mid-air, as she plunged from her
perch atop Carts shoulders toward
the netless ring below. A work horse
had dragged a chain across a stake,
which held a guy for the high-wire.
The wire went slack, but the Great
Wallendas clung on until help came.
They we're still a team.
That experience was enough to curl
her hair, Helen admitted. But she
was to learn. Opening night in Madi-
son Square Garden last March 80

JOBS BLACKLIST
DENIED BY NAVY
Personnel Officer Answers Traux
and Sweeney on Pat.
ronage Charge.

Charges that the Navy Department
has a black list" of members oi
Congress when it comes to giving out
political jobs, were vehemently denied
today by the departments personnel
officer, Charles Piozet.
The accusation came from Repre-
sentatives Truax and Sweeney, Demo-
Gratis, of Ohio, who claimed a man
sent by Sweeney to the Navy Depart
ment for a job in connection with the
Nays new construction program was
told it would be useless to file an ap-
plication If he was indorsed by a
member of Congress who voted to
override the Presidents veto of the
Independent Offices appropriation bill
Instructions Not Issued.
Piozet asserted emphatically that
Col. Henry L. Roosevelt, Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy has not issued any
instructions that Senators and Rep
resentatives aligned with the Presi-
dent are to be favored in dispensing
patronage.
He pointed out that there are two
categories of jobs-one under civil
service, where there can be no DO.
litical preferment, and the other un-
der the N. r. A. warship- building
program. where there is some DO
litical leeway.
Letters of recommendation should
be addressed directly to Col. Roose-
velt, who has charge of personnel
rather than phrased in general terms
Piozet said, explaining that non-ob-
servance Of this rule might lead tc
difficulties.
Refusal Is Denied.
He denied that he refused to allow
the man sent to him by Representa-
tive Sweeney file an application. The
book he was represented as referring
to during the interview and which
was called black list" was nothing
more than a list of available N r. A
Jobs. he said
Despite Piozet's explanation, Sweeney
and Truax said they intend to write
Col. Roosevelt about the incident. The
Assistant Secretary is now. in the West
Indies witnessing naval maneuvers.
