CHANGE SOUGHT
IN D. {. PLAN
Of RELIEF

Substitution of work hour"
allotments for wage scales on
relief jobs here is being advocated
by members of the Citizens Ad-
visory Committee on Relief, it was
learned today.
The suggestion, made to Capt.
Howard F.. Clark, chairman of the
work planning committee of the
local Emergency Works Admins
tration, is based on a desire to
remove wage psychology" from
relief jobs and thus encourage
persons on such jobs to look for
regular employment.
Provisions of Plan
Under the present plan each
worker is paid an hourly wage
dependent upon the class of work
he performs. The number of
hours he works per month is
based upon his need as deter
mined by the Emergency Relief
Administration.
The proposed plan provides
that each person be classified &C.
cording to the type of work he
can do and then be allowed to
work a certain number of hours
per month, in return for which
he would be given a stipulated
amount of relief money.
The wage scale would be OBJ
served just as it is now, it was
explained. but the pay would be
dealt with in lump sums rather
than hourly scales. For example,
a skilled worker would work less
hours per month than laborer
whose allotment was the same,
due to the higher scale paid the
skilled worker.
Wage Psychology
This, some local officials be-
lieve, would remove the wage
psychology" which, they assert,
prevents many persons from &C
cepting outside work at a lower
hourly wage than they are max
ing on relief jobs.
The matter has been discussed
with Federal relief officials. Cap
tain Clark said, but so far no
action has been taken.

Local Emergency Relief Admin
istration officials today were
awaiting word from the office of
Federal Relief Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins on a request for
more money for materials for
projects here.
The request is that on certain
highway, sewer and park projects
the local officials be permitted to
exceed the 10 per cent limit for
materials and hire of equipment.
This would speed up work on
several street and sewer jobs and
would allow completion of work
on swimming pools at Takoma
Park and Bannaker Center which
have been held up.

DIANA VINEYARD, STEAMER YUKON
 JOHN BARRYMOREIS LU FURIOUS HEAD FINE CASTIN APPEARANCE,
Reunion in Vienna Clam orous Play by Robert
 E. Sherwood

John Barrymore cuts a wide swath to greater popularity as the mad, impulsive, irresistible and stormy Hapsburg who returns from banishment to renew the memory of kisses that fingered after Vienna's glory faded.
 AS the dashing hero of Robert E. Sherwood's Reunion in Vienna" Barrymore gives the most engag- ing role of his entire career. In the new Metro-Goldwyn Mayer feature, which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre, Barrymore has an ideal characterization that matches his individual talents and personalities as though tailored to his measure by the author, Robert E. Sherwood.
 Diana Wynward Scores
 Diana Wynwood acquits herself none the less brilliantly as the lady for whose kisses the exiled archduke pines She radiates a warm humanness in the role and manages to retain certain regal refinement, even in moments de- manding yielding common to women of lesser dignity. Miss Wynward has a freshness and new charm that appears welcome on the screen. That she is a gifted actress, besides being merely a beautiful woman, is conceded by the most critical audiences, if only for her "Cavalcade" performance
 Sidney Franklin, who directed the film version of the Broadway theatre hit, may be credited with another masterful job. Always a stickler for nicety, Franklin has translated the Sherwood piece faithfully delicately handling sit nations that might fail under cen sorial shears if placed in less sub tie hands
 Frank Morgan is excellent in the part of Dr. Krug, the psychia- trist who diagnoses his wife's ab- berrations, and the role of his old,

BLOND STAR HAS GREAT ROLE IN
 COLISEUM FILM
Helen Twelvetrees Lovely Viennes Spy in 'Wom-
 an of Experience

Helen Twelvetrees has taken full advantage of the opportunity to show her histronic talents in "A Woman of Experience" her latest picture which opened last night at the Coliseum Theatre. As the un- fortunate Elsav she portrays char acter far more sympathetic even than "Millie." Her work, always restrained and intelligent, stands out as that of an artist of ex- ceptional ability.
 Miss Twelvertees was fortunate that her first story under her star ring contract with RKO Pathe should have been so well chosen It is about a beautiful Viennese woman of uncertain reputation who enlists in the intelligent depart ment to be of service to her coun- try AS she is about to start on her first assignment, she falls in love with a young naval officer dllQ tllClC lllC tOAllp4lCdblOllo OC6lll The story takes an unusual turn at the end which makes it quite different from the usual run of pictures.
 Director Harry Joe Brown de- serves a great deal of the credit for having been able to reproduce with such reality the atmosphere of gay Vienna. A scene that is particularly interesting is the one in the beer garden, "zum Schwan" where Elsa is entertained by her young officer, Karl Runyi. And the street scenes have all the charm of old Vienna.
 In the cast with Miss Twelve trees are William Bakewell, Lew Cody, zasu Pitts, H. B. Warner, c. Henry Gordon, Franklin Pang- horn, and Nance O'Neil
 William Bakewell makes fas- cinating officer-and Lew Cody as usual, a splendid villain. zasu Pitts and Franklin Panghorn are an excellent comedy team.

G. H. WALMSLEY IS BACK FROM SHORT
 BUSINESS TRIP

G. H. Walmsley, Manager of the Pacific Coast Coal Company, re- turned on the steamer Yukon from a three weeks business and vaca- tion trip to Seattle and nearby cities.
 ! Mir Walmsley, as have other re- turning travelers, brings back news of improved business conditions in the States, and an increasingly optimistic outlook on the part of everyone he encountered while away.
 Without doubt, the open and above board attitude about the purchase and sale of liquor which has prevailed since repeal has done much to improve the morale of people everywhere, and combined with the genuine increase of busi- ness has contributed to the optim- ism felt, he said.

Repainted and Redecorat- ed, Alaska Line Ship
 Looks Like New

Completely repainted both inside and out, and thoroughly renovated and redecorated from bow to stern, the steamer Yukon, on which $65,- 900 has been spent by the Alaska Steamship Company during the last two months, presents most at tractive and luxurious appearance.
 Many Juneau residents were aboard the steamer during it's stay in port and the concensus was that it is now one of the finest and most modern ships on the North Pacific Coast.
 Coior Schemes
 The corridors and majority of rooms are painted an attractive ivory shade while the six de luxe suites on "B" deck have been re- decorated in individual color schemes, two in ivory, two in green and two in a harmonious com bination of peach and a delicate green. The redecorations are car ried out in detail, with draperies, furniture, eiderdown quilts, waste baskets and woodwork both in the cabins and baths, harmonizing at tractively. Each cabin has an appropriate painting which adds to the homelike appearance of these luxurious suites.
 Rubber Filing
 Lower deck passageways have been covered with rubber tiling, in block pattern, replacing the carpeting generally used and the boat deck has been entirely re- canvassed. All furniture and up-

 holstery has been ren-ouate d throughout the ship and modern furniture installed in the after social square. In the buffet room, or smoking room, seven new round, oak card tables replace the three old-fashioned ones and a new standing bar has been added. This room is most delightful place for lounging or recreation.
 : The barber shop, formerly on 'B" deck, has been moved to "C" deck and is completely modern in every respect
 Radio System
 One of the greatest improve ments, according to the officers of the ship, is the installation of combined public address and radio system, by means of which, musical programs or announce ments can be broadcast to every corner of the ship This is similar to that recently installed on the Victoria.
 All of the work which has been done in modernizing and overhaul ing the Yukon was carried out in the Alaska Lines West Seattle yards and has contributed much needed employment during the win
  ter, according to T. B. Wilson, Vice-President and General Man ager of the company !. No part of the ship has been overlooked with the pantry, galley, dining saloon and steerage quarters, each receiving careful attention and many Improvements.

House Committee Ready to
Complete Supply Bill
Without SuppIementaIS.

Drafting of the 1885 District supply
bill was started yesterday by the House
Subcommittee on Appropriations
without consideration of approximate
ly $4,000 900 in proposed supplemental
items which the Commissioners have
asked the Budget Bureau to approve.
These supplemental items which the
subcommittee wanted to discuss dur
ing hearings on the regular budget
estimates. Just concluded, have been
at the Budget Bureau for more than
a month. At the bureau 1t was re-
ported, the estimates are still under
consideration"
More than a month ago the Com
missioners sent the supplemental
items to the Budget Bureau when it
was discovered that on the basis Of
the reductions made In the original
budget the District would pile up in
the coming fiscal year an accumula-
ton of approximately $4,000. 900 in
unobligated tax revenues. The s4.-
ooo. 900 in supplemental items were
designed to absorb this prospective
surplus. and at the same time leave
a suficient balance to meet con-
templated increase in the municipal
pay roll growing out Of the restora-
ton of the Government pay cuts.
Relief Requests Largest.
The supplemental items consist
chiefly OF requests for funds for emer-

provided $l,30O,000 for emergency re-

George E. Allen has declared. how
ever. that the 81 900 900 would be suf
ficient to meet only about one-half
of the estimated needs for relief in
the coming fiscal year and that the
District would be forced to call upon
the Federal Government to make up
the deficit through grants by the
various relief agencies.
In addition to the $2.700,000 for
