AMERICAN RED CROSS TO TAKE
 ACTION TODAY
Will Decide About Appeal for Funds-NO Nurses
 or Doctors Just Yet
BY HII,LIER KIEGHBAUM limited Press Stan Correspondent l

 Washington, Sept. 19-UP)- The American Red Cross central committee meets today to decide whether an appeal will be made for funds in event of an Italo- Ethio- plan war. If the committee, which Is the governing body of the Amer can Red Cross, approves such an appeal at It's regular quarterly meeting, it would be the first cam paign for war relief funds since inc World war. Contributions of s2S7, ,000, 900 were received then.
 No Nurses, Doctors
 It was considered most unlikely that the central committee would approve sending any nurses or doc tors to the war zone. The sole ac- tivities of the Red Cross, it was un- derstood, would be raising money and providing medical supplies for the Italian and Ethiopian Red Cross organizations. Some commit tee members questioned whether this country's organization could even do that much. No appeal has been received from either Italy or Ethiopia. Ethiopia has practically no Red Cross organization, having signed the international treaty only few months ago.
 Nurses Seek Work
 Dozens of letters have been re- ceived by the Red Cross from nurses, doctors and other volun- teers who want to go to Ethiopia. officials said it was unlikely the Red Cross would approve their go- ing even as independent citizens 10, serve in the combatant nations Red Cross units.
 The state department officials believed it was impossible that such volunteers would be given passports.
 The Red Cross has $5,000,000 special war emergency reserve which can be used only when this country goes to war. It must rely upon donations to cid foreign units

Mr.. Mitchell was told by the
colored man to place So in an
envelope, in which he would
enclose a note, to be given to
a man in the 1900 block of
Pennsylvania Ave. N. w. The
latter would give Mr.. Mitchell

Unsuspecting and anxious to
find employment, Mr.. Mitchell
complied with the request. At

MEASURE

One of the greatest mail and

ever experienced is being laid
down against the Wheeler-Ray.
burn bill, which proposes to abol'
ish public utility holding compa-
nies by 1910 in cases where such
companies cannot demonstrate
their economic value.
Some Senators and Representa-
tives are averaging from 10000 to
$4,000 letters and kilograms a
week requesting them to vote
against the bill.
Utilities Accused
Friends of the Wheeler -Rayburn
bill, which is an Administration
measure and strongly supported
by President Roosevelt, assert this
deluge of protests has been in
spired by the utilities themselves.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in a message to
Congress last week asking enact
ment of the bill, referred to it as
propaganda being paid for by
investors money"
In any event, there is no queS-
ton as to the extent of the drive
against the bill. Telegraphic mes
senger boys and mail carriers are
daily pouring tens of thousands OF
protests into Congressional offices.
Some of them disclose evidence
of a central origin; others appear
to be from individuals who fear
their small investments may be
wiped out by the enactment Of the
legislation.
Drive Organized
The task Of answering consist
uent protests has added greatly
to the work of Congressional sec
retarial Staffs. Some members,
from the larger States where utll'
ity investors are more numerous
have abandoned efforts to reply
individually to the barrage, and
simply sent statements to their
districts that they are for OF

How Do You Feel
About This?

To the Editor Of The Times:
After the splendid show put on
last year, it seems a shame that
Washington will not have the
Cherry Blossom Festival this
year when thousands of visitors
will be in the city.
1 know such a festival entails
much work on the part of the
committees but I think ! it is
worth the effort since visitors
leave much money in the city.
New Orleans has it's Mardi
Gras; Philadelphia has its Mum"
mer's Parade; nearby Winches'
ter has it's annual Apple Bios
som Festival. Washington has
it's taxes, it's crowded street cars,
and its unsafe streets for pedes-
trians. Put them all together
and there is nothing festive
about any Of them. Why not
yearly Cherry Blossom Festival?

Well, Where Would
They Land?

To the Editor of The Times:
I have been reading about the
demonstration Of fighting
planes over Berlin with which
Adolph Hitler signalized the
death Of world peace, and the
thought struck me that the
United States would be in
sorry plight if it tried to fly
any military planes over the
National Capital.
In the first place I doubt
if we have a respectable num-
ber of fighting planes that
would actually fly high enough
to avoid hitting the dome OF
the Capitol. And in the second
place wonder where they
would be able to land and be
serviced if they did exist and
did make the flight.
When are we going to develop
an airport which will actually
serve the needs of the seat Of
Government? We could develop
1t as a civilian proposition but
it would be invaluable in case
of war. OBSERVER.

NEW TAX URGED

SILVER SPRING, Md, March
21.-VirtuaIy all of the civic and
educational organizations through
out the eastern suburban area Of
Montgomery county have pledged
support to obtain passage at this
session of the Maryland Assembly
of a measure to levy special 2
cent tax for each 500 assessed
valuation in this community for
the support of the Silver Spring
Public Library.
1t is estimated by library Off
Gals that this tax would provide
approximately $2,400 per year,
which would cover the operating
expense.
The library has been supported
by funds raised by the association
members through membership

we learned a few days ago what
can be expected if we do. The
pools will be demolished.
I wonder if the reason that
the Federal officers want to
abolish these free pools is in
order to increase the patronage
at which the same Federal Off
GERS charge admission. The
Times, last summer, exposed
the disgraceful condition of the
operation of pools by the Fed
eral officers after they had been
built by local taxpayers and I
hope it will join in the fight
to keep these same Federal Of
ficers from establishing a
monopoly.
If they once establish it
Washington will never regain
or reclaim its parks and pools.

FRANCE CALLS
100000 TO
C0L0RS
1914 Class Summoned
AsLavaI Wins Vote
OF Confidence

PARIS, Oct. 81 G.N.S).-More
than 100000 "war babies" today
and tomorrow are being added to
the great French conscript army,
swelling the garrisons along the
eastern frontier in implied proof
that France still breads a spread
of the Ethiopian war to Europe.
While Premier Pierre Laval
given a "vote of confidence" in
yesterdays senatorial elections,
continued his mediation between
Britain and italy, the youths born
in the last half Of 1914-many of
whose fathers were killed in the
war before their sons ever saw
them-flecked to the colors.
Kept Under Arms
The former class, due to be re-
placed by the new conscriptS, will
be kept under arms for two or
three months longer, it was
learned, during the present crisis
over the presence Of British fleet
reinforcements in the Mediterran.
can and Italian troops on the
Egypto-L o-Libyan frontier.
The overlap accounts for more
than 200, 900 young soldiers, half
Of whom are already well-trained.
Entraining gaily, still clad IN
multi, the recruits are all being
sent to the eastern Zine of Steel"
to man the powerful defenses at
Verdun, Colmar, Belfort, Metz,
S StraSb bourg, Thionville, TouI,
Nancy, and Forbach.
Significantly, none are being or.
dered to the Swiss frontier, be-
cause, it is suggested in diplo-
matte quarters, France does not
want to let Italy infer that Italy's
engagement in Africa releases her
from the understanding with
France providing mutual vigilance
over the Alpine passes.
Laval Strengthened
With internal political upheaval
apparently STAYED off. Premier
Pierre Laval today was in a
stronger position to carry on An
glo-Italian-Ethiopian peace efforts
by virtue of his double victory in
yesterdays senatorial elections,
taken as Endorsement of LavaPs
stand on anti-Italian sanctions.
Laval was elected, for a nine
year term, to the Senate from both
the Puy-de-Dome and Seine dis
tricts. He will probably be seated
for the first, his native district.
Although the election, in which
one-third of the senators were
chosen, has a slight tendency to-
wards the left, it was believed
that Laval'S government is in no
immediate danger.
Marcel Cachin, 66-year-old Com
munist leader, was the first Of his
party ever to be elected to the
Senate. Socialists gained four Sen
ate seats. Two increases went to
the Republicans and Independent
Socialists. The center gained two
seats, and the Radical-SocialistS,
still the biggest party in the Sen.

The TrtanicS sailed from Naples
last night with a full cargo of

lowed her today. Twenty more

The Casa Regis is leaving
Genoa today with $50 specialized
