ney. will speak at the meeting.
Those opposing the change declare
the move has the backing Of the
present town officers, who, the ants
charge, seek to perpetuate their
offices until 1888. It is said the
present town board of three mem
bers would hold over in office until
1893 before the town became a city
with mayor and five councilmen.
Claim Salary Savings
On the other hand. proponents
Of the move assert that money for
town officer salaries will be saved
by the change
It is pointed out that the clerk
treasurer Office will be combined
at a salary of $500 a year The
Offices now are separate and the
treasurer alone receives S1400 a
wear. The mayor under a flfth-cla5s
city status would receive $500 while
the five councilmen each would
receive $50 yearly. The three men,
bers Of the present town board each
receive $500 a year
Those favOring the change also
argue that under fifth-Class city
regulations. Beech Grove would be
given an advantage in bond issu-
anCe.

Committee were prepared to take
emergency action.
After the conference today Chair
man McSwain said that just as soon
as an agreement is reached on the
posals which were accepted at the
conference today, that the bill can be
passed by unanimous consent in the
House and that a special rule will not
be necessary.
Representative Smith said the mill
tary authorities have stated they have
no longer any need for Military roed
and desire to be relieved of respon-
sibility. On the other hand, Depart
ment of Agriculture officials have
stated that the road is very necessary
as a most immediate approach to the
Arlington Experimental Farm.
He pointed out also that more than
1000 motorists use this road to one
airplane intermittently passing over it.
1t Is very unusual, at least, he said, for
an airport TO squat near highway
and then take steps to have that
highway closed. The real menace,
according to Smith. Is not to vehicular
traffic along Military road and the
endangering OF human lives, but Route

andria, Fredericksburg and Richmond.

Informed unoficially Of the action
Saturday OF the Arlington County
Board, Chairman McSwain of the
House Military Affairs Committee said
today this action left him with no
alternative but to 60 to the House
Rules Committee for a special rule
for consideration Of his resolution to
close Military road.
IT had hoped to have the resolu-
ton passed under unanimous consent
as an emergency measure" McSwain
said. 1.-THE action Of the board I'M
doubtedly will prevent passage Of the
bill In this simple. expeditions

McSwain said he had not had any
official word of the boards action,
but that he expected to confer with
Representative Smith on the matter.
The Military Affairs Committee
chairman said that he will 60 before
the Rules Committee with his request
for q special rule as soon as a meet

required for passage under this pro-

Future Aid Assured.
When these emergency relief funds
are gone, there undoubtedly will be
aid from other sources, probably from
the mothers pension fund or the
Public Assistance Division Of the
Board Of Public Welfare. In fact,
had the generosity Of the public not
been manifested In the voluntary
offerings, the Board of Public Welfare
would have seen to 1t that the family
did not suffer, officials said.
Approximately $500 has been con-
tributed for the family, $3.50 Of which
went for funeral expenses. The Star
has received q total Of $508.15, which
will be turned over to the Salvation
Army for administration. Mai. James
Asher, head Of the army, has agreed
to assume the responsibility of ex-
pending the fund to the best advan-
tage Of the stricken family. He will
make an accounting later to The Star

Maj. Asher said today every cent do

Over the week end $l22.44 was re-

has received q total Of $291.43. The

THIRD HOUSE DUE
TO ADJUST BILLS
Conferences May Settle Sc
curity Holding Company
and T. v. A. Disputes.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The third house" of Congress must
make. within the next few weeks,
several DECISIONS Of far-reaching i'm
portance.
Much Of the Roosevelt administra-
ton legislative program is now being
considered in q series OF conferences
which, taken collectively, are some
times called the third house"
If the Senate and House, in pass
ing q piece Of legislation, disagree on
provisions 1t should contain, the two
differing bills often are sent to a con-
ference between chosen Senators and
Representatives. They attempt to
compose the differences.
Not in long time have SO many
important bills been in conference or
headed for conference as now. One
is the social security biIl--and the be-
lief is expressed that even the con-
ferees may not be able to agree on
this one. Some legislators say the
President may be asked to intervene
in the dispute.
Involves Exemptions.
It revolves around the question
whether concerns and employees COW
cred by private pension plans of ap-
proved standard shall be exempt from
taxes the vast security program will
levy to support contributory old-age
pensions.
Senator Clark, Democrat, Of Mis-
souri,, succeeded in amending the ad-
ministration's bill to provide for such
exemption. The bill as it passed the
House contains no such exemption.
Another major dispute in confer
ence is over the utilities bill. The
Senate bill provides for compulsory
abolition of unnecessary" utility hold
ing companies In seven years. The
House bill gives the Securities Com
mission discretionary authority In the
matter.
T. v. A. Bill in Dispute.
The amendments to the Tennessee
Valley Authority act also are In con-
ference. with Senators friendly to T.
v. A. seeking to make changes in the
bill as it passed the House. Senator
Norris, Republican. Of Nebraska wants
to alter a provision requiring T. v. A.
to turn all cash over to the Treasury
at the end of each fiscal year. Norris
would empower T. v. A. to keep GER
tain working cash.
Other measures which are expected
TO be in the hands of conferees soon
are the A. A. A. amendments and the
omnibus banking bill.

State Secretary Hull called in
Italian Ambassador Rosso on Ethiopia
because the peace societies squawked
long and loud over Hull's note to the
Ethiopian Emperor. They said he
was condoning Italian aggression and
he had to do q little something to
quiet them.
This does not mean that Mr..
Hull intends to play peacenlaker in

Americans share regarding the i'm.

1t may have appeared that Senator
Holt and Representative Lewis threw
down the advice of Democratic Pub

appearing at the University Of Vir-

fact is they followed 1t. They failed
to appear at the spots designated for
them on the program with American
Liberty League speakers. Instead
they waited q few days until the
league speakers had gone and then
they appeared with their own hurrahs
for the New Deal. <

in the same way he did during his
second campaign for Governor in
New York State. At that time whis-
pers were being spread that he should
not be reelected because the strain
would kill him. He hoped into an
automobile and made q three weeks
tour of the State. The trip was so
strenuous that his retinue was tagged
after the first week. News men were

Near the end they began writing

there were hints in some earlier de-

interstate commerce, the Supreme
Court in the Schechter case took the
view that the effect was too remote

court in It's present temper would re-
fuse to concede the National Labor
Relations Board jurisdiction over
such industries.
B. Industries unc0nnected with In

example. hotels, barber shops, boot

TONIGHT'S ECLIPSE
TO BE OUTSTANDING
Shadow of Earth to Plunge Moon
Into Darkness at 1912 PM,
Reach Totally at II ;09.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Astronomers declare tonight's fun
eclipse Of the moon is one of 1885
outstanding astronomical events.
They are interested particularly be-
cause the phenomenon enables them
to make a careful check Of lnstru-
ments and of previous calculations.
Two scientists attached to the United
States Naval Observatory will use q
26-inch telescope TO make tests. SINH
lar ones will be mace elsewhere in
the country. and photographs taken
if climatic conditions permit.
An interesting feature Of the eclipse
is that as the eartn passes between
the sun and moon. engulfing the lat
ter in darkness, the temperature on
the moons surface drops from ESQ
degrees above zero " 1872 degrees be-
low, a tumble of neatly 400 degrees.
The reason is that tie moon has no
surrounding atmosphere to stabilize its
surface temperature.
The shadow will begin TO cross the
moon at 1912 pm. and the eclipse
will reach totally at 11:o9.
