the transit company or continued rs
an independent.
Value Held Over Contract.
Hoover also said the bus company
In prepared to show that its fair value
Is In excess Of the $s43 900 contract
price.
Hanna at this time renewed his
argument that the rerouting problem
could not be solved until the bus COM
pany question is definitely settled, and
again insisted on q postponement. He
declared the Capital Transit could
not intelligently discuss the reroutinp
plans until II knows whether the COM
mission win approve the purchase of
the bus line.
We cannot plan . definite program
until that question is settled" he said.
II our request would cause any deIay

gram I would not make It, but / can't

William A. Roberts, peoples counsel
before the commission, said the prac-
ticai question for consideration was
whether the commission could accom-
piish anything toward reroutinr an
Improvement In the transportation
service. a
What the public wants" he de-
ciared, is results, not hearings. The
public Is not interested In the evidence
submitted before this commission. but
In the determination Of routes.p
Argument Of Clayton.
William NICK. Clayton, chairman OF
the Public Utilities Committee Of the
Federation Of Citizens' Associations.
urged that the bus company be oper-
ated as an Independent concern a.
means OF furnishing competition with
the lines Of the Transit company. He
pointed out that Improvement In
transportation service In the District
came when the Washington Rapid
Transit Co., under the original own.
ership Of Leon Arnold, entered the
field and offered competition with the
established bus and car lines OF the
old Capital Traction and Washington
Railway q Electric companies.
You can't afford to have one conn
pany without any competition" Clay
ton declared.
After more than an hour of areu-
ment, the commission ruled 1t would
continue with the rerouting hearing
and receive any evidence that either
the bus or transit companies cared to
offer.
Clayton then completed his cross
examination Of Fred A. Sager, chief
engineer Of the commission, who pre-
pared one Of the 10 rerouting plans.

SALVAGE AND SOS
LAWS EXPLAINED
Lawyers Say Sending of
Call Does Not Necessarily
Mean Collecting of Fees.
BY the Associated Press.

BY cEe Associated Press.
Maritime lawyers in the Capital
hold the opinisn that the flashing Of
an 8 o s does not necessarily mean
salvage will be collected.
The aiding Of vessel in distress
does mean, however. that in most in
stances q claim can be filed. The
belief has been expressed that be-
cause Of this, ship masters have de-
layed sending calls for aid until alb
solutely necessary.
Required to Assist.
Department of Justice attorneys
pointed out today that vessels of
American registry are required by
law to assist others. How much. If
any, payment they can get out Of it
depends on many factors and Is de-
termined by the Federal courts.
Salvage payments vary widely.
When . derelict ship Is towed into
port, from 20 to so per cent Of its
value may be awarded.
The maritime laws specifically pro-
vide for payment Of salvage for the
rescue Of passengers and crew, even
though no service Is performed for
the ship itself. As . practical mat
ter. saving of life Is nearly always ac-
companied by property services.
Payment Divided.
When more than one vessel gives
assistance, the court awards what 1t
considers proper payment to each.
But past cases have shown 1t Is often
difncult to collect from q steamship
company when a ship is salvaged in
such condition as to have little or
no value.
The amount of salvage to be paid
is governed by the value Of the ship
salvaged, the value Of the ship render
ing service, the length Of time re-
quired, the perils undergone and 9TH
er things that would be considered
in any ordinary equity law suit.
Very few ships are salvaged rs
derelicts, as it must be shown that
they have been abandoned by master
and crew without intention Of return
ing. Sometimes vessels near shore
are deserted temporarily during .
storm, In which case they would not
be considered derelicts.

cheney appropriation bill and the
schemes for the purchase Of gold and
silver. It was said his resignation was
finally brought about by the announce
ment of Secretary Morgenthau that
the so-called profit of two billion eight
hundred million dollars resulting from
the devaluation of the gold dollar
would be used to curtail the public
debt incurred by the New Deal. Since
currency is ultimately to be issued
against this profit" and since there is
only about five billion dollars Of cur
rency now in circulation, the Morgen-
THAI plan contemplates a so per cent
imitation.
The President appointed as acting
budget director Daniel W. Bell, a per-
manent employee of the treasury. It
was understood in Washington that
there would be a general rearrange-
ment in the Treasury department which
would concentrate all fiscal powers in
the hands of Secretary Morgenthau.
Several officials who are not in full
sympathy with the New Deal will be
welded out.

Nicolas of Greece, to which union the
king has gladly given his consent"
An acquaintance that dated back
five years to the young couples first
meeting In London ripened into love
at the summer home of Prince Paul Of
Jugoslavia. where Prince George and
Princess Marina have been visiting.
The prince, thirty-two years old and
handsome, and his fiancee have many
tastes in common. The prince is an
accomplished pianist who plays clas-
steal and modern music with equal
facility, while the princess has been
schooled as an amateur musician. The
princess also likes dancing and shoot
ing-two amusements of which Prince
George as well is very fond.
The princess, who was educated In
Athens, Paris, and London, speaks
fiuently French, English, Greek, Rus
sian, and German. She inherits all
the beauty and charm OF her Russian
mother and the pleasing personal quail
ties of her father.

Informed persons In Washington be-
lieve 1t Is true. The President Gained
the storm but put off the decision. The
NRA is being reorganized temporarily
to serve until the next congress gives
1t permanent form, and for the pres
ent Johnson retains his supremacy.
To bring about greater efficiency
and economy the codes of the NRA
are being realigned. Industry Is di-
vided into % classes, the initial move
toward cutting down the number of
codes from $50 to about $50 and group
ing them in ten grand divisions. Merg-
ers are relied on to make the drastic
reduction in the number of codes.
Codes with similar or related inter-
ests are grouped together. Allied
businesses will thus receive identical
treatment on common problems, Off
Gals said. The codes also are expected
to be easier and cheaper to admin
lister.
The % classifications in turn are
based on four fundamental groups as
follows:
Producing ndustries-Food, textiles,
leather and fur, ferrous metals, non
ferrous metals, non-metallic products,
fuel, lumber and timber, chemicals and
paints and drugs, paper, rubber.
Fabricating Observation-Disclosures,
manufacturing, graphic arts, construc-
ton.
Service industries-Public utilities,
transportation, communications, finance,
amusements.
Distributing trades-Professions and

George A. Sloan, head of the Cotton
Textile institute, did not believe the
strike was effective, especially in the
South. He said about 100000 hands
were working in the southern mills
and that only 10000 had quite their
jobs. These figures were scoffed at by
union officials In New England many
of the mills were opened after Labor
day, for large percentage Of their
employees are not members of the
union and are not In sympathy with
the strike.
1t was predicted that there would
be considerable violence both in the
South and in New England. The Com
munists were active, as always where
there is trouble, but German had
warned the union members not to let
the Reds get control.
The federal labor relations board,
headed by Lloyd Garrison, made feeble
efforts to prevent the textile strike,
without success. The government au-
thorities, however, had made it plain
that the strike would be indirectly
financed by the placing of the strikers
on the relief rolls. This was strongly
resented by Henry I. Hartman, presi-
dent of the United States Chamber of
Commerce, and by industrial leaders
generally.

MIRA was dealt severe blow when
the Retail Coal Code authority
resigned in body in protest against
the way the MIRA is handling the code.
The seven members, who were the rul-
ing body under the Blue Eagle for S0,-
600 retail coal dealers, are: Roderick
Stephens, New York, chairman; Milton
E. Robinson, Jr., Chicago, vice chair
man; Clarence V. Beck, st. Louis; Will
liam A. Clark, Boston; Charles NJ.
Farrar, Raleigh, N. c.; Edward B.
Jacobs, Reading, Pa; and John Nc
Lachlan, Pullman, Ill. Their resigna-
ton was due to the ,NRA's claim
that it can revise any code at any
time without giving notice to the in
dustry involved.
"As now emasculated by the NRA,
the code is futile and unavoidable
thing, while as originally agreed upon
it represented a constructive basis for
Improvement of conditions in this in
dustry," the members told General
Johnson.
In a public statement accompanying
their letter of resignation, the author
fly revealed that the NRA's failure to
prosecute coal code chiselers and Its
failure to back up the code authority
in its attempts to stop destructive price
cutting were at the root Of the dis
pute.
