AUTO INSPECTION
PLAN IS APPROVED
Trade Board Committee In
sists on Work Being
Done by District.

Compulsory mechanical inspection
of automobiles was approved by the
Traffic Committee of the Washington
Board of Trade yesterday, but the
members insisted the work be done
by the District and not by private
companies.
The committee met at luncheon

the inspection bill now pending before

He estimated the cost Of three
inspection stations at $4,000 each,
or a total of $66,000. Each would
be sufficiently large to have three
runways for the entrance and de-

out that after the stations are once
constructed their upkeep and main
tenance probably would permit re-

tached to the price of license plates.

Pose of Not Comment.
ing on Bills Abandoned
by Roosevelt.
BY PAUL MALLON.

~ RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has
quietly abandoned his pose OF
not commenting on legislation
i pending in Congress. His mes
sage on the holding company
bill was comment as strong as any
Congress ever has received. There will
be more later on the Wagner labor
bill and perhaps on N. R. A. and the
bank bill.
This is further evidence that the
President is beginning to take hold.
Harrison Bill Circulates.
The touch of white protruding from
Senator Pat Harrison's coat sleeve is
not his cuff, but skeleton draft OF
the administrations N. R. A. reor-
ganization bill.
You may recall that the New
Dealers hdue more or less seriously
maintained the illusion that they
mould not offer a netp N. r. A. bill.
They may continue to maintain it
for diplomatic reasons, bRt the
Harrison draft already has been
in circulation privately among
Senators and labor leaders.
1t was prepared under direction OF
Co-ordinator Richberg by Blackwell
Smith, the big inside man at N. r. A.
Those who saw it a few days ago
noticed it contained only one i'm
portant change from the existing
N. R. A. set-up That change would
make explicit the Presidents right
to impose a code.

Recently the meat packers dis
covered that two of the lower cost
diets recommend consumption of more
grain and less meat. and they have
joined the melee. This does not hurt
the grain fight because the two
higher cost diets recommend more
meat, less grain. Both factions have
managed to keep excessively steamed
up about the Righteousness of an
Agriculture Department urging less
consumption of grain or meat, or
both.
A simple solution might be for
Wallace to tell people how they can
consume lots of both grain and meat
on their present incomes.
Ickes Retreat Sloppy.
Mr.. Ickes eased out of the Moses
matter as gracefully as hog tripping
lightly out of a mud puddle. He
slipped so often that even he had to
laugh.
There may be something deeper
behind the sloppy retreat, but the
tact seems to indicate that Mr..
Ickes facting iUholly for Mr.. Roose-
Deltj merely got tired and quit
trying to force the New York
park commissioner out of his job.
Mr.. Ickes keeps such a terrorizing
hand over his employees that all are
afraid to talk. This is the reason
why he was able to keep his retreat
quiet for more than two weeks after
it occurred. No better example OF
news suppression has occurred under
the New Deal.

1T even attempts to make the use

We are engaged in interstate COM
merce and, therefore, subject to Fed

AS president of an operating COM
pany, part of the Commonwealth IL
Southern System, Arkwright said:
The holding company is necessary
to our continued existence. We and
all other electric companies have
constant need for new capital, be-
cause there is constant demand for
extension of our service to new COM
munities and because the rates we
are permitted to charge are so low
they prevent us from building up any
large reserves Of cash, such as un-
regulated businesses can do.
The holding company provides a
reservoir of capital from which We
can draw for our needs.
Warns Against Dynamite.
Don't dynamite that reservoir by
putting the holding companies out OF

out of business. too"
The Wheeler -Rayburn bill was un-
der consideration. In recent mes
sage. President Roosevelt advocated
abolition of the holding companies
which could not demonstrate that
continued operation was in the pub
lie interest.
ArkWright quoted Mr.. Roosevelt as
saying in March, 1880. when he was
Governor of New York. that:

oligarchy masquerading as democracy.
it is fundamentally essential that prac-
tically all authority and control be

There is another N. R. A. bill in
prepared by leftish New Dealers. They
submitted it to the A. F. of L. crowd
the other day. and thought they OBJ
tanned promise by labor to come out
in favor of it later.
This bill would shorten hours and
increase pay, adopting the 30-hour

exemptions. Also. it rould adopt

This bill does not have the ap-
proval of the White House. but the
scheme behind it is to stir up the

Represent 2 Viewpoints.
These two bills do not tell what is
going to happen to N. R. A. in the
end They merely represent the two
conflicting viewpoints around which
the congressional clash is being or
ganized
The most significant indication of
how the fight may work out lies in
the fact that Mr. Roosevelt is be-
ginning to take hold of it. He let it
drift until recently. He will have to
make some compromise with the
labor viewpoint, but he stands a good
chance of preserving the general
N. R. A. framework There have been
hints lately that he may buy labor of
by championing the Wagner bill.
Fight on White House Diet.
The fanciest of all inner govern
mental disputes now is the one about
Mrs Roosevelt's diet.
1t seems that Agriculture Secretary
Wallace's Bureau of Home Economics
has devised four model diets. Mrs.
Roosevelt served a sample at the
White House months ago, and the
war started when grain interests
found it recommended consumption
of 200 pounds of grain a year. whereas
Americans now are consuming an
average of 24O pounds. The grain
boys have been pulling Wallace's coat
tails ever since.

NEW YORK. March l5.-The
final curtain fell yesterday for Rich
ard Berry Harrison. 70-year-old
colored actor whose portrayal of "De
Lawd" in 1.-THE Green Pastures
brought him into national prominence.
Harrison died in Fifth Avenue Hos

room March while preparing for his
l.65eth performance in the play, one
of the most successful in American
theatrical history.
Harrison passed his earlier years as
a bellboy in Detroit and other Mid
western cities. occupying a gallery
seat in the theater as frequently as
his finances would permit.
Then, at the age of 66, a chance
encounter with Marc Connolly while
the playwright was roaming Harlem
in search of some one for the role OF
de Lawd," lifted him from an OBJ
scure post as a teacher of dramatics
and elocution.
Funeral arrangements awaited the

The date for the wedding was not
Immediately announced.
Prince Frederik arrived from Copen-
hagen yesterday. Although rumors
were widespread that his engagement
was imminent. court circles refused
TO confirm the reports until the
proper moment" even requesting
Swedish newspapers not to drop any
hint of the romantic tidings.
Outstanding in her charm and
beauty in a family noted for many
beautiful princesses, the golden haired

She inherits from her grandfather,
King Gustav, a keen love of sports.
Brought up with four brothers, she
always has been fond Of tennis. motor

has been seen astride a white cob
riding along Stockholm's Strandvagen
Rotten Row."
Frederik, at SO, is tall and hand
some. He is great-nephew of the late
Queen Alexandra and second cousin
of the Prince of Wales.
The Crown Prince had been en-
gagged in 1922 to Princess Olga of
Greece. a sister Of the Duchess of
Kent. but the match was broken off
after six months.
The engagement is regarded in
political circles as of importance since
the marriage will serve to bind the
royal families of Sweden and Denmark
even more closely.
