SHORTAGE OF RELIEF
FUNDS DISCUSSED
Conference Held With Commits.
sioners Today to Make
Both Ends Meet.

Concerned over the possibilities of a
shortage of funds for relief operations
during the rest Of this month District
relief and welfare officials conferred
at length today with the Commits
sioners.
By effecting some economies and
other emergency steps, it was figured
the District could get by" without
dipping again into its own relief ap-
preparations. The question of whether
the Federal Government should be
asked for an additional sum appar-
emily was deferred until the return of
Commissioner George E. Allen, re-
lief and works administrator, expected
back from vacation soon.
The District received a Federal
grant of $250,000 for the first half
of this month and 100000 more for
the last half 1t Is using $l66.000
per month of its own s2.000,0 900 ap-
preparation, but was to pay back to
the main fund $4,000 which had
been advanced.

OLD L'ENFANT MAP
USED IN DISPUTE
Declared to Show District
Boundary Once Ran
Up to Airport.

An old map by Maj. LEnfant, who
laid out the National Capital in the
days of President George Washington,
was used before the District Virginia
Boundary Commission by Federal
counsel yesterday afternoon, in support
of the Government claim that land
back of Alexanders Island once was
the bed of the Potmac River.
Requested by Washington.
Henry H. Classic, special assistant
to the Attorney General, in rebuttal
argument, claiming high water mark
as the District of Columbia line, re-
ferred to the old L'Enfant map. He
said the map had been drawn at the
request of President Washington and
submitted by the first Chief Executive
to Congress. This old map clearly
showed the Potomac River back of
Alexanders Island, Classic declared.
The Federal counsel traced engi-
neering history from early days and
claimed that all reliable maps show
that the marshland hack of Alexan-
ders Island, which since has been filled
in and now is part of the airport, was
originally part of the river bed.
Mr.. Classic will continue his re-
buttal tomorrow. He will be followed
before the commission by Samuel J.
Solomon, vice president OF the Ma
tional Airport Corp, which owns the
airport.
Taxes Paid to Arlington.
Solomon today declared his corpora
ton had paid taxes last December to
Arlington County for the entire acre
age of the airport, including the dis
puted area, end was ready to pay taxes
again on December 5, for the next
year. Solomon said that no response
BILE officer of the United States had
ever officially notified airport authori-
ties that the Government claimed any
part of the airport. Discussing reports
that an amicable settlement may be
in prospect over the disputed airport
land, Solomon today said no one had
approached him on the subject.

WORK INSURANCE.
POLICIES STUDIED.
BY DISTRICT BOARD.
Members Expected to Ac.
cept Most of Prettyman's
Proposals.
PROGRAM HANDICAPPED
BY LACK OF FUNDS
Hope Still Held That Emergency
Relief Funds Will Be Al
lotted to Start Task.

A complete outline of suggested
policy and procedure in connection
with operation of the District unem-
plovment compensation act was being
presented to the local board this after
noon by E. Barrett Prettyman, cor
poration counsel for the District.
Since the attitude of the board to-
ward these suggestions had not been
sounded out in advance, Mr.. Pretty
man declined this morning to discuss
his proposals in advance OF the meet
ing. scheduled to start at pm. 1t Is
expected, however, that most OF the
corporation counsels suggestions Will
be approved by the board, particularly
those touching upon the legal phases
of the local program.
With the District activities stymied
bv the same lack of funds as has
handicapped the entire social security
program, local board members are
hoping that the Social Security
Boards request for emergency relief
funds will be granted and that a
small administrative ALLEGATION in turn
will be made to the District group.
Since the taxation provisions OF the
unemployment compensation plan be-
gin January /, it will be necessary for
both the Federal and District boards
to have complete employer lists avail
able by that date The Federal list
will include all employers of four or
more persons and within that bracket
the District Board may use the same
list. Because of the broader scope OF
the local act, however, it will be neces-
sary for the District Board to have a
registry of all employers, even those
of one employe each.
Efforts to get these lists already
have started, with the local board CALL
ing for help from the Board of Trade
and several other business bodies.
John A. Marshall, executive director
of the District Commission; Mr.. Pref
lyman and perhaps one or two others
are meeting with board members Ha-
zen, Allen, Sultan, Locher and Gala
han this afternoon.

BRITISH HOUSING
REFORM PRAISED
Woodbury. Says Private En-
terprise Unchecked by
Government Work.

In England. where the greatest
progress has been made in housing,
government-spon slum reclama-
ton projects have not checked private
enterprise, Coleman Woodbury.. exec
utive director of the National Assocla-
ton of Housing Officials. told group
of Washington civic leaders yesterday
during a luncheon at the Y. w. c. A.
Woodbury., just returned from a
study of housing in Europe, said Amer
lea, with two years Of experience in
meeting low-cost housing problems,
has much to learn from the European
countries, where interest in reclama-
ton of blighted metropolitan areas
has been maintained for so years.
He said he found some of London's
worst slums are on land owned by the
Prince of Wales, which has been hand
ed down to him from the Middle Ages
The Prince, however, is interested in
abolishing SlumS and much progress
has been made in cleaning up the
crown lands. England's achievements
in reclamation impressed Woodbury.
most of all. and in the building boom
of that country he found private en-
terprise keeping pace with the gov
ernment'S program.
Calls Vienna Depressing.
Woodbury. told of his l0-week tour
of Russia. Germany, Switzerland, Aus
tria. Poland, Czechoslovakia, Scandi-
navia and Holland. Vienna, he said,
is one of the most depressing cities in
the world today. Some advance in
housing reform has been made there,
but he found the people poor and with
no confidence in the future. He char
acterized as utter insanity" Vienna's
subsistence homestead project, which
he termed a collection of cheap shacks
which probably will not be rented in
20 years.
Warsaw. the speaker found, was
dilapidated, but had one of the best
exhibits Of model housing in Europe.
A week in Russia gave him the i'm
preston of physical progress" A
3,000-room hotel is being built in
Moscow. but skilled labor is scarce and
a large percentage of women work as
mechanics. He found apartment
houses for low wage earners going up
in great number in the Soviet country.
Progress in Stockholm.
Woodbury. said that for 80 years
Stockholm has been purchasing sub
urban land suitable for small houses,
and at present the total area of these
acquisitions exceeds the area of the
municipality itself.
In urging America to take advantage
of the experience of Europe in hous-
ing reform. Woodbury. branded as
erroneous the theory that Govern
ment reclamation projects conflict
with private initiative. He said this
theory is one reason why this country
trails in the matter Of cleaning up
of blighted areas.
Among those present at the lunch
con. arranged by John Ihlder of the
District Alley Dwelling Authority, we're

School teacher, whose dismissal was
recommended last week by DR.. Frank
w, Ballou, superintendent Of schools,
and DR.. G. c. Wilkinson, first assist

in obtaining a postponement Of a
public trial on charges that he at

called him a boy Scout"
According to the charges, Adams,
who is a member of the United States
Army Reserve, appeared at the annual
cadet drills last Spring wearing his
uniform. At the time it was said
that some of the cadets shouted boy

residential areas. The lots are so feet
wide and range in length from $50 to
1875 feet.
The property was purchased by the
former Board of County Commissioners
in 1881 as a prospective site for county
buildings or q recreation center. This
idea was abandoned when q larger
tract was bequeathed the county by
the late Violet Blair Janin, which now
is used as a community and recreation
center. known as Jesup Blair Park.
Commissioner Coughlan, supervisor
of the Silver Spring district, declared
the property purchased by the former
board now represents total of $97,-
688.84 in value to the county, due to
interest on the investment, loss of
taxes from the property and cancella-
ton of $3,048 in front foot assessments
Coughlan and Peter said they did
not know what action the board would
now take regarding disposal or utiliza-
ton Of the property.

A plea for expansion of the District
parole staff was presented to the Com
missioners today by Wilbur La Roe,
jr., and DR.. Emmett j. Scott. men,
bers of the Board Of Indeterminate
Sentence and Parole.
They argued it would be matter
of economy as well as good manage
ment to employ two additional field
parole officers and two stenographers.
The present staff is unable to make
the necessary check-ups on the 800
odd men now out on parole, they said.
La Roe told the Commissioners a
considerable sum spent for housing Of
prisoners would be saved by an en-
largement of the parole staff, which
would leave the Parole Board more
freedom in granting paroles to de-
serving prisoners.
