IN DISTRICT URGED
Allen Announces Commissioners
Will Give Support to Leg
islation.

Passage of the measure to provide a
system of old-age pensions for District
residents will be urged vigorously by
the District Commissioners. it was
announced yesterday by Commissioner
George E. Allen.
The statement was made by Allen
after he had visited the White House,

welt, who recently made known her
desire for enactment of legislation for
old-age pensions here.
The Commissioners will forward 20
the Budget Bureau tomorrow a state
ment on the Copeland-Bl pension
bill In keeping with the procedure re-
quiring that the Federal agency pass
upon all District appropriation mat
ters.
As soon as a reply Is received from
the Budget Bureau as to the relation
of the proposed system to the financial
program Of the administration, the
Commissioners will send to Congress
report on the measure. 1t was antici-
pated this would be done by Wednes-
day.
Allen has received estimates from
the Board of Public Welfare indicat-
ing the operation of the old-age pen
sion system would have an annual
cost of between $500, 900 and $500, 900.
This is predicated on fixing the
weekly pension payments at 50 and
establishment Of the minimum age for
persons eligible for pensions at IS
years. Under the plan to be proposed
by the Commissioners. q 10-year resi-
dence In the District would be re-
quired before eligibility was estab-
lished by applicants.
There would be requirement also
that where relatives of an applicant
were financially able to provide sup
port, the person would not be eligible
for pension.
The minimum age limit announced
by Commissioner Allen Is lower than
that recommended by the Board Of
Public Welfare, which had suggested
q limit of % years.

her as alert an observer of White
House, Senate and House as she was
in Republican. eraS, The Longworth
lorgrette still is focused on legislators
from the galleries. She has attended
all the receptions at the White House
this just finished season-and q state
dinner besides.
Her next magazine articles are to
be about the doings of the Senate
and the doings of the House. She
has an individualistic way of working
on them. First she writes down all
her thoughts ON the subject in long
hand. Then, because the writing
seems to mean so little to her, she
types 1t so she can read it. Then
she calls on her secretary to turn
out professional-looking copy.
Has Gift Of Mimicry.
Her gift of mimicry, which she
turns on herself as often as on others,
still makes her an entertainer extraor-
dinary. Backgammon is her latest
passion. She still can dance the hula
that she learned in Hawaii, and con-
siders dancing the one perfect form
Of expression which she would wish
for her daughter Paulina, who now
is learning tap dancing.
History, in the form of her foibles,
her likes and her dislikes, circles al
ways about her. The battle Of tho
League of Nations, in which she was
bitterly opposed to the Wilson policies,
is written in cartoons on the walls of
her study. There, too. are souvenirs
OF her fathers day, of her own trip
to the Orient.
February has been her fate month.
She was born the 18th. Her mother,
the Bostonian Alice Lee Roosevelt,
died two days later. Her daughter
Paulina was born on St. Valentines
day. anniversary of her mothers
death. She was married to Nicholas
Longworth of Ohio on February IT,
1906, five days after the White House
dinner that celebrated her 22nd
birthday.
She was one Of five Roosevelt girl
cousins and second cousins to arrive
among the New York clan within II
months-Elfrida, Alice, Christine,
Dorothy and Eleanor The first
cousins. Alice and Eleanor, both grew
up to live in the White House-on
opposite sides of the political fence.

LIQUOR BAN VOTED
IN MT. PLEASANT.
Citizens Association Goes
on Record Second Time
Since Repeal.

For the second time since repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment, the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association last
night voted to oppose the sale Of
liquor in the entire Mount Pleasant
area and pledged its support to prop
erty owners who would appear be-
fore the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board to fight issuance of linceses.
The action was taken after the new
liquor law and District regulations
were explained by Maj. A. M. Hol-
combe. The regulations, he said, are
among the first enacted in the Dis
trict on any subject that give citi-
zens voice in the conduct of affairs.
sponsibility has been delegated to its
members and that it is their duty to
see that no abuses are permitted.
Maj. Holcombe proposed that the
association go on record against the
sale of all liquor except light wines,
beer and prescription goods in the
area bounded by Ontario road, Piney
Branch, Sixteenth street and Rock
Creek Park. DR.. A. A. Chenay offered
an amendment to oppose only class c
licenses which permit the sale of
hard liquor by the drink.
There followed more than an hour
of debate in which the associations
action of last November IL opposing
all liquor sales, was recalled. Finally,
upon motion of Thomas j. Barden,
the association reafirmed that ac-
tion, calling upon the Alcohol Bever-
age Control Board to issue no licenses
of any kind in Mount Pleasant
Prior to the debate on the liquor
question, Roy H. Heald, an engineer
from the Bureau of Standards, gave
an illustrated address on the stream
lining Of automobiles.
Members expressed considerable
criticism Of the street car service
since the merger of the traction COM
panies here.
The meeting was held at the Mount
Pleasant Branch Library and Presi-
dent Frederick G. Hunt presided.

HEAR|NGRLANNED
FOR MISS BENTLEY
King win Call Committee
Again to Hear Juvenile
Court Appointee.

Chairman King Of the Senate Judi
ciary subcommittee considering the
appointment Of Miss Fay L. Bentley
as Judge Of the District Juvenile
Court, announced last night he would
call his group together early this week
to hear the appOintee If she cares TO
make any statement.
Miss Bentley originally had been in
vited to appear before the subcommit-
tee at 2 pm. yesterday, but when she
arrived Senator King informed her
the meeting was postponed because
his attendance was demanded in the
Senate during the MacCracken con-
tempt proceedings. The Senator Is
member of the Black Ocean-Air Mail
Investigating Committee, and indi-
Gated he would try to arrange a meet
ing Of the subcommittee to hear Miss
Bentley at time that would not con-
flict with Senate proceedings.
Witnesses Appear.
A dozen or more friends OF Miss
Bentley and a number of those who
opposed her confirmation during the
recent hearings came to the Capitol
to hear the appointee. In the group
was DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, who told the sub
committee during the hearings that
Miss Bentley, as director of the de-
partment Of school attendance and
work permits for the last nine years,
had lived up to all Of the recommenda-
tions which led to her appointment
in 1925.
In the meantime, Senator Copeland
of New York, one of Miss Bentley's
most ardent supporters, announced
that Attorney General Cummings had
advised him he had recommended her
appointment to President Roosevelt.
His announcement cleared up reports
as to the interest of the Department
Of Justice in the case.
Investigation Assumed.
Senator Copeland said he assumed
that before recommending the ap-
pointment, the Attorney General had
made the customary investigation to
determine Miss Bentley's qualifica-
tions for the post.
The criticism of Miss Bentley has
been that she Is not qualified under
the statute to fill the position. The
statute says the appointee to the Ju-
venile Court bench must be learned
in the law" Miss Bentley's opponents
claim she cannot meet that qualifi-
cation because she has never had any
actual practice before a court.
Her friends, on the other hand, in
sist the degree she holds from George
Washington University Law School.
coupled with the fact she passed the
District bar examination, shows she
Is learned in the law"

Now, frankly and buoyantly 50,
Mrs. Longworth has been laughingly
replying to all who mention her
birthday: Plenty Of kick in the old
horse yeti"
Since 48 she has turned authoress,
learned to typewrite, and marketed
her comments on the Capital scene in
a magazine. But she still sticks to her
lifelong rule of never being inter-
viewed by the press, never quoted by
other writers.
Acid Remarks Untrue.
Acid remarks Alice is supposed to
have made are always swirling around
the Capital, often find their way into
gossip columns, and often are abso-
lutely untrue.
She didn't say Calvin Coolidge was
weaned on a pickle-she merely heard
the remark and repeated it. She was
not author of a quip that her distant
cousin Franklin was one-third mush
and two-thirds Eleanor She heard
that one and didn't repeat it didn't
even think it was funny.

COURT QUESTIONS
n. R. AS VALIDITY
Law Would Mean No Limit
to Presidential Powers,
He Declares.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. February 10.-Federal
Judge John P. Barnes, In q decision
today said he had doubts as to the
constitutionality of the national re-
covery act and added that II the act
was valid there was no limit as to the
powers Congress might delegate to the
President.
Judge Barnes views were included
In his decision denying the Govern
ment's plea for temporary Injunction
to restrain an oil company from re-
puted violation of rule II of article
of the petroleum code. 1t prohibits
the giving away Of premiums with the
sale of gasoline.
The Judge held in effect that there
is no justification under the Constitu-
ton for such a CODE The alleged
violations in the case before him
affected only intrastate commerce, he
held.
Two Cases Reviewed.
In his opinion, Judge Barnes re-
viewed the Minnesota mortgage FORE
closure case, and the Houston e. g. w
Railway case, as 1t relates TO the
powers of regulating commerce.
The judge said that while he did
not feel justified in declaring the re-
covery act invalid; 1T seems to the
court that Congress, in this IN. r. A.
act, has been so indefinite in its pro-
nouncement of the legislative policy
that the principle of constitutional
law which We are considering has
ceased to have any effect in national
affairs"
If the Congress may constitu-
tionally delegate power as it has dele
gated it in the national recovery act,
it is difficult to see why the Congress
may not, in an act, declare that its
policy is to provide for the general
welfare of all the people and that,
accordingly, the President may pro-
mulgate such rules and regulations.
having the effect of law. as will in his
discretion best provide for the welfare
of all the people. and when that hap
pens constitutionally constitutional
government, as we know it, will cease
to exist"
Minnesota Mortgage Case.
In the case OF tne Minnesota mort
gage law, said Judge Barnes, the Su-
preme Court was considering an
exercise of power by a State which
possessed all powers except those
prohibited to it and those delegated
to the United States. In the present
case, he said. the court was consider
ing the exercise of power by the
Federal Government, which 'is a
Government Of enumerated powers. a
Government which possesses only
those powers which have been granted
to it
1t must be held that emergency
does not create Federal power" said
the judge.
Judge Barnes set March for a
final ruling on the motion for q per-
manent injunction.
