KING SEEKS PASSAGE
OF BANK STOCK BILL
Senate Told Double Liability Re.
moval Here Would Conform
to Policy.

The Senate will be asked today by
Chairman King of the District Com
mittee to pass the bill removing the
double liability requirement from shares
Of stock hereafter issued in savings
banks. savings companies and other
banking institutions in the District.
In reporting on the bill several days
ago. the Treasury pointed out that
Congress, in the banking act of 1888,
already had removed the double liza
bility requirement from future stock is
sues of national banks and that this
local measure is in accordance with that
policy. The Treasury. therefore. re-
ported it had no objection to the bill.
The measure would clear the way for
speedy completion of the sale of stock
by the Mount Vernon Savings Bank
and for starting the sale of stock by
the Franklin National Bank. These two
institutions failed to receive licenses at
the close of the banking holiday and
fre to be absorbed by the washington
Mechanics Savings Bank. which never
has been restricted.
Senator King reported the bill favor
ably from the committee yesterday aft
ernoon and had hoped to obtain Senate
ection at that time. Senator McNary of
Oregon. Republican leader, asked that
action be postponed until today. The
bill still requires House action also.

ANALYSIS IS AWAITED
ON THIRD D.GRADE GAS
Oil Administration Hopes to End
Price War on Bureau of
Standards Report.

The Oil Administration today was
awaiting a report from the Bureau of
Standards on the quality Of the So
called third-grade gasoline being sold
in the District. The administration
hopes to end the gasoline price war
which has been waged by Independents
and major companies here for the past
week.
The independents today had dropped
their price another half cent to 1875
cents a gallon and were expecting to
reduce the price again this afternoon
if their price is met by the major COM
panies. according to Joseph F. Amato
president of the independents organi-
Zation.
The principal point being studied at
present by the Oil Administration is the
claim of the major companies that the
third-grade gasoline being sold by the
independents is a better fuel than the
and the Bureau of Standards scientists
Administrator Ickes.
Mr. Ickes has not indicated what
steps will be taken to end the price war
after the quality Of the gasoline has
been determined.
About 10 days ago gasoline dealers
here informally agreed in conferences
with members Of the Petroleum Admin
strative Board that independents should
be allowed to sell the third grade fuel at
half cent less than the major COM
panies, but the major companies. led
by the Standard Oil Co.. kicked over
the traces when they claimed they dis
covered the difference in the quality of
their fuel and the fuel sold by inde-
pendents
The settling Of the local price war is
expected to establish definite policy Of
the Oil Administration for the entire
country.

instructions which soon becomes second
nature to the dog
The third month is the period of con-
tradiction 1t is devoted to teaching the
dog to make decisions, actually to see
for the blind master and decide what
best to do. She is confronted with
emergencies, what to do in traffic. how
to protect her master from dangerous
places-such as Buddy and Col. Frank
in the Chicago hotel This is the in
struction in disobedience, and the dog S
response is usually quick.
Operated at a Loss.
The fourth month requires the pres
ence of the future master. The dog
learns the master and the master learns
the dog. Together they learn conf
dence. and after the 30-day period are
ready to face the world no longer handi-
capped by sightlessness.
The Seeing Eye is purposely operated
at loss because its founders hope to
prevent the establishment of CONNER
cial organizations that will exploit the
blind by charging high prices Or sell
aafiRed animals. Actually, the cest
0f'tf&fttng single dog is almost twice
The amount asked, sa75, to pass her on
to the master. u
Consequently. thereIare many ways
in which friends of the Seeing Eye can
help. Private homes might take pup
pies and raise them to IA months of
age. Puppies likewise may be given to
the Seeing Eye and there are many
other similar methods of helping
Another wide field is in propaganda
against restrictions that now stand in
the way Of full use of the Seeing Eye
even after the dog has been given to the
new master There are restrictions
many of them made by law-against
dogs in trains, dogs on street cars, dogs
in some hotels or resorts Such restric-
tions. Mrs. Eustis and her associates
feel, should be waived for the blind.

MARINES ASK AID
IN EVICTION FIGHT
Reserve Outfit Appeals to
Mrs. Norton to Prevent
Dispossession. .

The Sixth Marine Reserves appealed
today to Chairman Norton OF the House
District Committee to aid them in their
fight against eviction from a District
owned building at 458 Indiana avenue.
The Commissioners have ordered the
Reserves to vacate the building Feb
ruary /, so it may be used as prop
erty storage house by the Police De-
partment.
The Reserves told Mrs Norton that
they have occupied the building rent
free for the last three years. but have
spent considerable money in renovating
the interior and erecting firing range.
If forced out of the building, the Or
ganization said it probably would be
compelled to disband because it does
not have sufficient funds to rent quar-
tiers in a privately-owned building The
personnel consists Of 50 officers and
1,136 men,
The building adjoins police head
quarters and was turned over to the
Reserves when the District acquired it
at the time of the purchase of the Mu-
nicipal Center area. The Reserves also
use as a drill hall the old Metropolitan
Methodist Church Building on John
Marshall place between Indiana avenue
and C street. which the Police Depart
ment also plans to take over for storage
purposes.
Believing possession constitutes nine
points of the law, the Marines have
dug in for the duration Of the war"
and fatty refuse to surrender the fort.
Today they threatened to get out
court injunction restraining the Com
missioners or an executive order from
President Roosevelt If compelled to re-
sort to legal measures to maintain their
present headquarters.
Meanwhile, a committee headed by
Mai. Clark Thompson set out for the
Capitol to round up congressional rein
forcements to come to the aid Of the
besieged Reservists. Protests from
members of Congress already are being
prepared and the Brightwcod and
Brentwood Citizens Associations, the
Marines claim, have enlisted on their
side in the fight.
Mai. Harvey L. Miller. one of the
brigade officers, said today that the first
the officers knew of the custer order,
effective February /, was when a po-
liceman served the papers. THE Com
missioners didn't even give us the
courtesy Of conferring with us in ad-
vance," he complained. 1t seems the
police want to use the buildings to store
stolen bicycles, old auto tags and other
materials left on their hands.

Mr. Springston, in arguing the mo-

resulted in this change of procedure on
the part of the receiver appointed by
the controller of the currency.
Previously the receiver had moved to
strike from the bill all reference to the

motion today Is far more sweeping In

Remains Large Despite
Aid of c. w. A.

Despite the fact nearly 10000 persons
had been given steady employment
here as result of operation of the
civil works program, Leroy A. Halbert,
director of emergency relief, disclosed
today that on January Is there were
13,754 families listed as open cases"
on the relief rolls.
He reported that during the past Is
months, $4,000 Washington families had
applied to the relief division for aid, in
explaining something of the problem
Of administration involved in the work
That the civil works program proved
a definite aid, not only to the families
whose members were given employment,
but also to the overtaxed local re-
lief agencies, became evident when it
was possible to transfer 1873 to c.
w. A. rolls during November and De-
cember
But Notwithstanding this" Halbert
added. there were 2.272 new applica-
tions In December and 2.3l0 new ap-
plications for relief during the first Is
days Of January. On January Is, there
were 1874 families listed as open
cases on the relief rolls.
The reduction in the hours Of work
Of the c. w. A. employees. he added,
would intensity the relief problems.
Thousands of persons fearing reduc-
tions in their income already have
come to the relief Office to see if their
case cannot be reopened for supple
mentary relief. he stated.
The relief division has had to meet
this vast administrative task as best as
it could" Halbert said. 1T has meant
long hours and much night work.
Eighteen months ago the division oc-
cupied one floor of the Metropolitan
Church on John Marshall place, now
it has full occupancy Of this building
and in addition five branches in other
parts Of the city"
