u one written by MRS. D. B."
The letter was read over the
radio and touched the hearts OF
several of the Goodfellows.
"Mrs. D. B." writes:
"I want to thank all the Good
fellows for the wonderful Christ
mas my children and I are having.
Santa Claus certainly did not for

"My boy and girl both re-
ceived lots of gifts. They were
delighted. AS they opened each

But If the GOOdfellOws who

have felt they had done an ex-

grateful I am. And to wish

REQUEST MADE BY D|SHAW FOR TIME EXTENSION
Government Asked to Give Bridge Contractor
 More Time

Although he has telegraphed goV- ernment officials in Washington, D. C.. for an extension of time Alfred Dishaw, of the Alfred Da- shaw and Son Contracting Com pany. said today that work was still being done on his portion of the Juneau Douglas bridge.
 Dishaw telegraphed Washington yesterday and requested that he be given permission to suspend op- erations until March IS, when he again would continue work. At a late hour this afternoon, no reply had been received from Washing ton.
 Pending an official reply on his petition, Dishaw had a crew of men working today and planned to continue such work until action was taken in Washington. However, Dishaw pointed out today, work at the present time is being ham pered by the unusually high tides.
 A series of handicaps which have delayed the Juneau contractor from completing his portion of the work on scheduled time was climaxed last Saturday when 5o-rnile gale swept away much of his temporary structures.
 It was pointed out today that the .warrack Construction Company also doing work on the bridge, was continuing operations and planned to finish it's contract on time.

D. C. Heads Say Sewer
Loan Outright Gift

Funds allotted to the District
by the Public Works Administra'
ton for sewers was an outright
grant and not a loan, and the
local government should not have
to repay the sum.
This was the unanimous opin-
ion of District officials today in
commenting on the action of the
House yesterday in reducing the
lump sum" contribution of the
Federal Government to the Dis
trict to "repay" the sewer grant
and park funds.
Officials declared the $1,759, 900
for sewers was given outright to
the District, the action being
similar to grants made by the
PWA to many States and munic-
ipalities.
AS to the $14S,596 granted to
the National Park Service for i'm
proving parks, District officials
declare that local authorities did
not request this money and that
none of it was given to nor used
by the District. Hence, they feel,
local taxpayers should not be bur
dened with its repayment.

PAROLE BOARD
DEMANDS 8
ON STAFF
Adequate Clerical Help or Its
Own Abolition Sought in
Plea to D. c. Heads

Immediate repeal of the Dis.
trict parole law unless an "ade.
quate" clerical staff is provided
was recommended in a report
filed by the Board of Indetermin-
ate Sentence and Parole today
with the District Commissioners.
The report, filed in support
Of supplemental appropriations
sought for additional workers,
was signed by all three members
Of the board. They are William
w. Bride, former corporation
counsel, chairman; Wilbur Laroe,
jr., and DR.. Emmett j. Scott.
Nine Helpers Sought
The supplemental estimates,
now in the hands of the Bureau
Of the Budget, ask provision for
employment of six parole officers
and three stenographers. The
fund provided in the estimates is
$13,70O.
The report also urges that
some provision be made to hold
parole hearings in the District
instead of at Lorton Reforma-
tory. It says:
"The atmosphere of the
prison is not conducive to the
best and most efficient service
by members Of the board and
its staff"
Public Menace Seen
Uurging provision of additional
workers, the report says:
ITO release men without ade-
quate parole supervision is q
real public menace. Unless
an adequate staff is provided
and an adequate and convent
ent place Of hearing is ar
ranged, the parole law should
be promptly repealed"

HOME LOAN UNIT.
FIRES SIX

Managers of six State organiza-
tions of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation have been removed
since that outfit began function

today.
These managers were those
originally named in the States
of Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey,
Maine, California and Kansas.
Criminal prosecutions will be
undertaken by the corporation
against some State officials, it
has been announced, at the in
stance of Chairman John H.
Fahey, who assumed office only
last November.
Although not much information
has been given out by the cor
poration, it has developed that
in Illinois certain officials were
apparently tied up with lawyers
and appraisers who were getting
a large share of home loan bust.
ness and whose fees were re-
garded as out of proportion to
the services rendered, and that in
Louisiana there appears to have
been a practice on the part Of
some politicians of buying up
mortgages cheaply and replacing
them with Home Loan bonds
worth 100 cents on the dollar.

Subcommittee o. KS
Welfare Board Bill

Members of a House District
subcommittee today decided to
report to the full committee a
bill authorizing the District Com
missioners to take over full con-
troll of the Public Welfare Board.
Their decision followed a pub
lie hearing under the direction
Of Representative Vincent L.
Palmisano D0, of Maryland.
Passage of the bill was urged
by E. Barrett Prettyman, corpo-
ration counsel, who said it would
promote greater efficiency and
result in economies.
In opposition, Walter S. Ufford,
of the Monday Evening Club,
declared the bill should contain
in detail the administration set
up the Commissioners have in
mind, and held that employees
should be under the Civil Service.
Fred A. Berlin, of the Board
Of Trade, urged abolition of the
D. c. Board Of Pardons and Pa
role. If not abolished, one of it's
members should be woman, he
said, and the Federal Parole
Board should be given authority
to review all decisions of the
local board.

LIQUOR LICENSE.
DENIED QUINN

Application for a liquor license,
filed by John R. Quinn, 3100 block
Nichols Ave. S. E., was denied in
a formal opinion handed down by
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today, after three churches
in the vicinity had protested
granting the permit.
Opponents of the application
told the board that disorder had
been prevalent in the vicinity of
Mr.. Quinn's restaurant since 80
beer went on sale year ago. The
Rev. G. L. Connor, pastor of a
nearby church, said his sermon
had been interrupted on several
occasions by the rattling of beer
bottles being delivered to the res
,taurant.
The board, in denying the appli-
cation, found that the place was
not appropriate" for the sale of
liquor.
