Washngtonians should pack the auditorium to the raers

But in the Allen B. Wilson
family, which will be the re-
cipient of the benefits from the
November 2 show at the Audi

charity is involved.
No Greater Charity
Feeding, clothing, educating
and housing widows and chill

an untimely end through no
fault of their own and through
the activities Of the half-world
Is certainly a blessed charity
which everybody could condone
and contribute to, where pos
Sible.

stating a fact when I say that
no crime in recent Washing
ton history has shocked this
city more than the shooting
down Of Allen B. Wilson. the
father of three children and
who also leaves a widow, last
Tuesday morning.
Washington Will Respond
Furthermore. I believe this af-
front to common decency to-
gether with the sympathy
which Washington feels for
those four innocent survivors
who in the coming years will
be the greatest losers, no mat

caught and punished, will i'm.

and whole heartedly the boxing

AS late as this writing, the
Colonials are overconfident-a
bad condition, for G. w., an ex-

tonight in Griffith Stadium.

Colonials. However, one man in
a grid combination over-confident

To Give G. w. Battle
Contrary to general opinion,
Wake Forest will give G. w. a
whale of a battle. The visiting
Deacons have the manpower to
do it.
1t was said Of Wake Forest, be-
fore the arrival yesterday of the
team from Carolina, that the Dea-
cons are slow of foot, rather awk-
ward, and inclined to be dull ana
listless. In practice yesterday
afternoon Wake Forest was far
from slow afoot. Instead Of be-

LEAGUE
To ASK FUNDS

The Social Service League will
seek financial aid tomorrow from
the Montgomery County Commis-
sioners to complete it's welfare
work for the current fiscal year.
The league is faced with a $13,500
operating deficit.
All direct welfare work in the
county is under direction of the
league, which has given help to
hundreds of families. This work
must stop or be greatly curtailed
by mid-January unless financial
aid is given by the board.
Officials said the league was
caring especially for persons un-
able to work and on whom great
hardships would be placed if the
aid stops.
Additional funds also will be
asked by DR.. Edwin w. Broome,
superintendent of schools. to con-
tinue the EVA program. One
hundred and seventy persons are
now employed renovating and re-
pairing county school buildings.
He will ask $4,000 to purchase
materials to continue the work un-

DERN DEMANDS
UPBU|LD|NG Of
AIR F FORCE

Although Secretary of War
Dern admits the Army air force
Is inadequate, he recommends
that three years be allowed the
Army to attain its proper mini
mum air strength.
This recommendation of the
Secretary is contained in the
section of the War Department
annual report made public to-
day. The report says:
"The air corps still needs a
large number of military air
planes of the most efficient
type to enable it to carry out
the necessary training and to
be in a state of readiness for
immediate and effective SER
vice in an emergency. The
air corps should have a mini
mum of 1880 ServiceabIe air
planes of the latest and best
types, exclusive of reserves.
MORE PLANES
This will necesSitate the pro-
curement of more than 600
new airplaneS.
Il recommend that a pro-
gram for attaining this mini
mum strength be initiated at
once and completed within
three years."
Secretary Dern follows the lead
Of Former Secretary of War New
ton D. Baker, who recently was
appointed chairman of a board to
inquire into all phases of aviation,
and who made many recommended
tionS. One of these, which Secre-
tary Dern now endorses, gives the
present general Army staff a tight
grip on the airplane force, instead
of placing the air forces under a
separate and independent control.
Under the recommendation of the
Baker board, the air forces will
report direct to the chief of staff
through an air commander.
Secretary Dern in his report
takes a slap at Col. Charles Lind
bergh, famous air ace who severe
ly criticized the Army air force
when it tried to fly the mails. In
that section of the report Secre-
tary of War Dern says the Army
air force took over the air mails
February 8, 1884, with only 10
days notice. The report adds:
"The intricate task .entailed
emergency measures in the dis
tributiOn of person and
equipment, preparation of ter
minal facilities, alteration of in
StrumentS and equipment, at
tainment of familiarity of
routes, and improvisation of an
administrative organization. A
serious complication was a pc
riOd of unfavOrabIe weather
cOndi tiOnS, almost unprece-
dented in severity and duration.
Critics Raped
"AS a result, a number of IA
talities occurred, and these,
without any real investigation
of e n d n circumstances,
were seized upon in some quar-
ters as proof of inefficiency,
neglect and Obsolescence in the
Army Air Corps. That much of
the criticism was unjust is at
tested by the fact that after the
weather cleared up and the
pilots had become familiar with
their routes the air corps car
ried the mail satisfactorily and
with singular freedom from &C
cidentS."
The most conspicuous critic of
the Administrations sudden drop
ping of private air lines was Colo
mel Lindbergh.

ALIENS BUYING
U. S. SECURITIES
Activity Is Laid to Hint
Federal Tax on Gains
Will Be Ended.
By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Brokers
who handle a substantial portion of
foreign buying and selling in New
York security and commodity mar
kets stated today that their bust
ness has shown marked signs of
revival since the early part of the
week.
They attribute this reawakening
for foreign traders interest to the
strong intimation received from
Washington several days ago that
the government may forego the pro-
posal to levy tax on capital gain
accruing to the operations of these
interests in American markets.
Buying which has appeared, while
not of extraordinary proportions
thus far, represents a distinct change
for the better in the s. situation. For
eign interests proceeded to take all
manner of precautions when the
Treasury officials, some months ago,
ordered brokers to present data
which would disclose the profits of
customers falling in that category.
Operations for foreign account
dwindled in the interval practically
to the vanishing point because, it
was said, British and European
spectators and investors could not
see where such impost was justified.
In large way trading was halted
altogether, while those who con-
tinued to make commitments, &C
cording to well-informed report,
proceeded to invoke all means of so
complicating their operations that it
would be well-nigh impossible to
trace them.
Houses here with direct London
connections noted evidence of the
change Immediately following the
receipt of the washington news in
the British financial center. These
firms had, prior to that time, re-
ported a veritable dearth of interest
on the part of English investors and
traders, particularly the huge in
vestment trusts which have been
active in our market over a long
period.
Buying that has developed has
been directed principally into stocks
of American industrials and special
ties. British investors over a long
period of years had been partial to
our utility shares and those of the
railroads, but the current status of
those indutries. with railroad earn
ings at a low ebb and the utilities
under the legislative whip, appar-
emily dropped them from favor, at
least temporarily.
