Churches Propose
Last-Ditch Fight
On Numbers Game
WHburLaROe, T., Terms
Racket One of Most
InsidiOus Forms.

Wilbur La Roe, jr., chairman of the
Civic Affairs Committee of the Feder-
alton of Churches, today issued
statement condemning the numbers
racket" in Washington and promising
a last-ditch fight against it by the
federation. His statement follows:
"The Washington Federation of
Churches will fight the numbers
racket to the last ditch. 1t is one of
the most insidious forms of gambling.
1t takes money from the class least
able to lose It, the small salaried class.
It takes money from Government en-
ployes who already have had salary
cuts they can hardly stand. School
children are a prey to this dirty busi-
ness. It gives them their first expert
ence In gambling.
Another bad feature Is that the
promoters of the numbers racket are
able to employ a host Of assistants,
elevator boys, garage employees, store
clerks and in this manner this vicious
form Of gambling IS worked into nu-
merous establighments."

HECK UP ON HISTORY.

form. Austin said the original was
prepared SO long ago that he doesn't
remember who did it. He has been
in the business % years, and has been
revising the lectures ever since.
Each year, during the three weeks
preceding Palm Sunday, he starts
with a new class They make the
rounds of the various trips over and
over again, lecturing as they go, and
undergoing correction and coaching
from Austin. Palm Sunday, those
who graduate" are put in busses of
their own, lecturing to the crowds
who flock to the capital The season
lasts approximately until election day.
From then to the next Palm SundaI
business is very slack. Easter Monday
usually is the busiest day, but any
week end with a holiday in it means
good business. The men get a salary
and commission on all the tickets
they sell for other trips. About half
the business is booked in other cities,
and the rest comes from parties or
ganized in town.
The student lecturers all are in
their 20s or 30s. Many are in college
and some are college graduates. Their
material is accurate. 1t must be, &C
cording to Austin, because of the
large number of school teachers who
go sightseeing here, and who would
quickly pick out any errors.
The students are quite critical Of

Four more deaths and 176 new
cases of measles were reported by the
District health officer today. The

the total number of cases to 3,725.
The health officers received reports

day. Physicians reported 96 new
cases this morning, bringing the
total for the week end to l76. The
four new deaths covered the period
from last Thursday night to this
morning.
Discussing the causes of death in
the disease, the health Office today
said that pneumonia was the actual
cause of the fatalities Cautions were
issued against treating child victims
of the disease "carelessly" and par
ents were urged to avail themselves
of every discipline to keep the child
in bed so as to prevent the otherwise
mild disease from developing into
pneumonia.

NEW LEGAL MOVE
IN PARK SAVINGS
Receiver Would Unite With
DepoSitOrS Against
Board of Directors.

Setting aside. temporarily at least,
most of their differences, the Treas
ury Departments receiver for the
Park Savings Bank, John F. Moran,
and the Depositors' Committee of that
bank today virtually joined hands be-
fore the District Supreme Court in a
new action which would unite them
in drive against the board of di-
rectorS to recover as much as possible
of the more than 100000 losses in
this defunct institution
The action this morning in District
Supreme Court before Justice Jesse C.
Adkins took the form of a motion by
the receiver to realign the receiver
as party plaintiff against the di-
rectorS. The receiver, represented by
his counsel, j. Bruce Kremer and
George B. Springston, also submitted
an order which they requested Justice
Adkins to sign accomplishing their
purpose.
For the Depositors' Committee, E.
Hilton Jackson told the court the
Depositors' Committee was in perfect
accord with the receiver on both the
l1lOIlOII anu IA1C plOkOSCd OIOCl.
Argument on the new move had
been set for this morning, but on
request of Joseph T. Sherier, of coun-
sci for the directors, the hearing went
over to Wednesday morning before
Justice Adkins.
Among the contentious which have
been eliminated, at least temporarily,
In this new partnership between the
Treasury Department and the De-
positors' Committee is the matter of
receiverShip. Up to now the De-
positorS' Committee had been stoutly
contending that the bank should be
taken away from the Treasury De-
partments receiver and should be
liquidated instead by receiver ap-
pointed by the court.
The proposed new plan places the
receiver and the Depositors' Commit
tee side by side and recognizes the
right of the controllers receiver to
liquidate the assets of the bank.
The new action in court today vir-
tually wipes out the complexities in
volved in several previous actions filed
by the Depositors' Committee and the
TeCelNeT ana SeIS up a new OIOeT u
affairs which face the defendant di-
rectors and the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation.
The R. F. c., however, is not salts
fed with the proposed new order Of
the court, according to William c.
Fits, counsel, and will contest the
move to dismiss without prejudice
the amended bill of complaint" as to
the R. F. c. The bank borrowed a
substantial sum from the r. F. c.,
which has now been reduced to some
thing over 100000. The depositorS
previously had asked that the R. F. c..
return all assets now held by the R.
F. c. as collateral for the loan. The
bank, it is understood, now has on
hand sufficient cash resulting from
liquidation of the bank to pay off all
of the R. F. C. loan and the receiver
is ready to do this as soon as per-
mitted by the court.
The new order which Justice Adkins
was asked to sign is sweeping in its
authority. 1t would give wide latitude
to the receiver In bringing any action
the receiver sees fit against the direc-
tors, without limiting the rights OF
the depositors to do likewise.

CIVIC UNITS ARGUE
.PLAN FOR DISTRICT
TO HANDLE BUDGET
Senator Thomas Believes
Committee Should De-
eide Local Issue.
DISSENTING OPINION
OFFERED BY MILLER
Board of Trade and Federation
Officials Praise Capper
Proposal.

Advisability of transferring financial
affairs of the District from the juris-
diction of the Federal Budget Bureau
was being deliberated among Wash
ington trade and civic groups today,
with the preponderance of opinion
favoring the change
Senator Thomas, Democrat, chair
man of the District Subcommittee Of
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee, expressed the belief the matter
resolved itself into a legislative one,
to be dealt with by the Senate Dis
trict Committee, rather than a prob
lem for his group. He expressed
willingness to consider the suggestion,
however, adding that he doubted If
the Budget Bureau or the administra-
ton would agree to the proposal.
The suggestion that municipal A.
nances be removed from the Budget
Bureau was made Saturday by SEN
ator Capper, Republican, Of Kansas,
and former chairman Of the Senate
District Committee.
W. C. Miller Disagrees.
While officials of the Washington
Board of Trade and Federation of
Citizens Associations described the
proposal as being in accord with their
views, dissenting opinion was offered
by William c. Miller, president Of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce
and former president of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
Describing the present system as
entirely satisfactory, Miller expressed
the fear that change would result
in heavier expenditures of municipal
funds here, all of which would react
upon the taxpayers pocketboOks- 1t
is the avowed purpose of the realtors
organization, of which he recently
was head, to reduce the burden Of
taxation on real estate. Mr.. Miller
feels any move which ultimately may
increase public expenditures here will
result in an increase in real estate
taxes.
The Chamber of Commerce, how
ever, has no positive stand in the
matter, Dorsey w Hyde, jr., secretary,
said, the question never having been
acted on. The association does favor
public hearings on budgets before they
are transmitted TO congress.
Endorsed by CoIIaday.
The Board of Trades Committee on
Municipal Finance, of which Edward
F. CoIladay is chairman, will call a
meeting later this week to take up the
question.
The Capper proposal met with en-
thusiastic Endorsement by Mr.. Cola
day. Declaring he favored District
director to control the local budget,
the trade body official declared:
THE ability of the District to pay
the expenditures authorized for it
should be predicated on District rev.
enue, plus a fair contribution from
the Federal Government. When you
confuse the means of the Federal
Government with those of the Dis
trict, the results are most undesir-
able" He said the apparent func-
ton of the Budget Bureau now is to
keep the Districts expenditures strict
iy within its own ability to pay, rather
than embrace a Federal contribution
James G. Yaden, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
said that organization favors an in
dependent budget for the District.
He believed nine-tenths Of the men,
bership would support the plan.

a reporter riding with them who has
worked in Washington 10 years was
not only unable to pick out any er-
rors which the other students let by
unnoticed, but also learned many
facts previous unknown to him.
The two prime difficulties of the
calling, according to Austin, are keep
ing parties together and remembering
how to distinguish between left and
right. The lecturer stands facing the
passengers, and since his left is their
right, there Is more or less constant
confusion between the two. They get
on to the knack of this after awhile
however, by remembering that when
they wave their right hands they must
say left" and vice versa.

Ruling Again Blocks Pay Raise
In Emergency Relief Division
Second Plea Concerning Underpay in
Welfare Department Is Denied by
Controller Generals Office.

For the second time, the controller
generals Office has blocked an effort
by the District Commissioners to get
a general pay raise for about $50 en-
ployes of the emergency relief division
of the Board of Public Welfare 1t
has been charged that some Of these
actually are receiving less money than
persons on the relief rolls.
Originally, when it was sought to
raise their pay, the Commissioners
were informed by Controller General
McCarl that this would be prohibited
by the ban on administrative promo
tions incorporated in the economy act.
The Commissioners then asked if it
would not be possible either to grade
the jobs under the classification act
or bring them under the emergency
scale set up for new agencies by
executive order.

"At present" the Commissioners
wrote, practically all of the employees
of these divisions are receiving less
than employees doing the same class
of work in other departments, and

Ask That Remaining
Counts be QuaShed.

Bishop James Cannon, jr., and his
secretary, Miss Ada L. Burroughs, to-
day renewed their attack on an in
dictment charging them with conspir-
ing to violate the Federal corrupt
practices act.
They appeared by counsel in Dis
tr1ct Supreme Court and asked that
the two remaining counts in the in
dictment be quashed. Previously, the
Supreme Court had declared eight Of
the 10 original counts invalid. but had
upheld the suffciency of the other
counts
The matter has been set for hear
ing Friday before Justice Peyton Cor
don, who is expected to dispose of it
before he decides the date set for the
trial. Assistant United States Attor-
ney John j. Wilson said, however. the
Government would appeal should JUS
tice Gordon decide the matter against
it. He said the possibilities of trial
on the merits during this term of
court would be limited.

BAN ON TRAFFIC
TURNS is ASKED
Experiment" at Thirteenth and
F Streets Would Be Made
Permanent.

After a two-month experiment"
with a ban on all traffic turns at
Thirteenth and F. streets, Traffic Di-
rector William A Van Duzer today is
forwarding to the Commissioners a
recommendation that a specific regu-
lation be adopted making the ban
permanent.
The recommendation is in line with
the tightening up Of traffic regula-
ton enforcement and is made with
view upholding arrests for violation
Of the no-turn rule in Police Court.
Despite mo turns" signs on light
standards on each corner Of the in
tersection and a traffic direction post
in the center Of the street, motorists
have persistently made right-turns
into F street from Thirteenth street,
and into Thirteenth street from F.
Confusion in the minds of pedes-
trians who have undertaken to cross
Thirteenth street in the belief they
had no traffic to doge has resulted in
orders to make arrests Of motorists
who violate the order.
With no specific regulation on the
traffic direction books, the Traffic
Bureau feared the arrests would not
hold up" In court.

There was a record breaking in

Smith, who is second in command of

the number of arrests was due to a
corresponding increase in the number
Of violations, and that's all there was
to it."
From 8 am. Saturday to the same
time yesterday, there were 327 arrests
for traffic violations, bringing the
weeks total to well over 1000. Alto
gether, motorists put up more than
$1,000 in collateral during the week.
More than 100 of the week end ar
rests were for double parking and

lar offenses accounted for the other

consisted merely of the posting of
collateral at the Traffic Bureau.
Sunday Dull.
Yesterday was a dull day, as traffic
violations go, but even SO, there were
A arrestS-an even dozen more than
on the previous Sunday.
Sundays are never very busy, SO
far as traffic arrests are concerned,
said Capt Smith. For one thing,
most of the parking regulations are
not effective, and then, too, a lot of
people either stay home or else leave
town.
THE explanation for the increase in
the number of arrests is simple. Dur
ing the recent heavy SHOWS we were
rather lenient with motorists. Ii
they weren't parked just so, or if they
stayed parked too long, We were in
clined to just let it go.
Spoiled" by Leniency.
well. that spoiled a lot of them.
The streets are clear now, but a lot
of motorists seem to think they can
still get away with the violations that
were overlooked before. And, of
course, they can't.
Another thing-a lot of people in
Washington had a pay day last week
I've noticed that along about three or
four days before pay days, a lot of
people-probably because they're run
ming short of gasoline money-start
leaving their automobiles at home
Then, after they get paid, they start
driving again. There's always a
marked increase in traffic-and, con-
sequently. in the number of arrests
for violations-frem the 18th to the
18th of the month. Then, too, the
comparatively mild weather we've
been having also has brought out quite
few cars that have been in garages

for this reason many of them are so
underpaid that it causes very serious
effect upon the workers and a con-
siderable turnover in personnel through
the acceptance of better-paid posi-
tions.''
It also was explained that the rea-
son for the low salaries lay in the fact
that the organization had been hastily
assembled in the belief that it was to
be only temporary, but that now it
was getting on a permanent basis.
