COAL BOARD OFFICES
MOVE DISCUSSED
Lack of Space Here Causes Talk
of Removal to An.
other City.

The necessity of moving the Ma
tional BituminouS Coal Commission,
new Federal agency. from Washington
because of the lack of available Office
space here has been discussed in
formally by members of the commits
sion, it was learned today.
The commission considered moving
to Cincinnati, Pittsburgh or Charles
ton, w. Va, but probably will not
reach a decision until after Congress
convenes next month, it was indicated.
The Coal Commission, now located
in the Garry Building, 927 Fifteenth
street, has 125 employees, most of them
borrowed from the N. r. A. Due to
failure of the third deficiency bill,
which carried funds for the commits
sion, the organization has not been
built up to full strength. Rapid ex-
pansion of the commission is expected
after an appropriation bill is passed
and g canvass of the available Office
space in Washington has failed to
reveal adequate quarters for the en-
larged commission.

M'CARL BALkS PLAN
TO TRANSFER FUNDS
Holds Prettyman's Aides Cannot
Be Paid With Money Di.
verted From Police.

District officials had before them
today information that Controller
General McCarl had found there is
no authority in the current District
appropriation act for transfer of funds
from one department to another.
The point hinges on a section of
the District appropriation act which
provides that no part of funds appro-
priated shall be available for transfer
from one activity to another unless
specifically authorized by the direc-
tor Of the Bureau of the Budget" Nc
Carl interprets the law to mean spe-
cine legislative authority is necessary,
District officials were advised.
A case in point was the planned
transfer OF a sum from the Police
Department to the Office of the cor
poration counsel to meet the salaries
of two of the assistants of Corporation
Counsel e. Barrett Prettyman, Leo q.
Fee and William j. Hogan.
District officials were planning ar
rangements to meet McCarl's inter-
probation of the law in these cases.

B[ANTON PREDICTS
CONGRESS TO KEEP.
COMMUNISM RIDER.
Texan May Become Head

D. c. Appropriations.
HINTS "ANTI-RED" LAW
MAY COVER HOWARD u.
Charges Radicalism Propagated
Without Restrain" at
Local University.

The prediction that the anti-Com-
munism rider in the 1886 District ap-
preparation act would not be repealed
at the coming session of Congress was
made last night by Representative
Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, mem
Der of the House Appropriations Sub
committee. which handles District
supply bills.
Discussing Communism in the Dis
trict Schools" over WJSV, Blanton de-
clared "Communistic sympathizer3'
who attempt to have the rider re-
pealed will meet with stubborn re-
sistance and a determined, uncom-
promising fight"
"The Nation has enough of Com
muniSm,' he added. 1T shall not
be propagated in the Washington
schools"
May Head Subcommittee.
Blanton, incidentally, may move
into the Craftsmanship Of the Appro-
priations Subcommittee, which will
frame the 1887 District supply bill, as
a result of decision of Representa-
tive Sandlin, Democrat, of louisa IA
to remain at home when Congress
conveneS. Sandlin plans to continue
his fight for the Senate seat left va
cant by the assassination of Huey P.
Long.
Chairman Buchanan of the Appro-
priatlCuS Committee said he had re-
ceived a communication from Sandlin
saying he would be unable to preside
at opening hearings on the agriculture
supply bill. Representative Cannon,
Democrat, of Missouri, who heads the
subcommittee in charge of the Dis
trict bill, is senior ranking Democrat
on the Agriculture Subcommittee, and
will take over Sandhn's duties.
This move is expected to prevent his
service on the District Subcommittee.
Blanton, senior ranking Democrat on
that committee, would automatically
head it.
May Include Howard U.
In the radio speech, Blanton not
only said the anti-communism rider is
to be retained in the District bill, but
animated similar prohibition might
be inserted in the Interior Depart
ment appropriation bill to apply to
Howard University.
Referring to House hearings on the
1886 District supply bill, Blanton de-
clared:
eve knew that in Howard Uni
versity. supported and maintained by
the Government, communism was be-
ing propagated openly and without re-
straint and we remembered the dis
graceful raid communistically-in
clined students from Howard Uni
versity made on the Capitol in an at
tempt to dictate to Congress,
Although we know that a majority
of the 1900 teachers in the Washing
ton schools are the finest men and
women in the world, we had reliable
complaints that, under the guise of
merely teaching the fundamentals of
communism, some teachers were
propagating it.
when you teach shorthand you
produce stenographers and when you
teach theology you produce theo-
logians. 1t is very easy for a Com
muniSt, under the guise of teaching
fundamentals, to espouse communism
and to inculcate it,"

CITY HEADS SEEK
SUGGESTIONS FOR
TRAFFIC HANDLING
Committee of 13 Officials
and Civic Workers to
Pool Ideas.
CONGRESS PROPOSALS
FOR SURVEY OBJECTIVE
Advice on D. c. Building Parking
Garages or Providing Lots
Also Is Requested.

The Commissioners today called on
a committee of 13 District officials
and civic workers to pool their sug-
gestions on means of present and
future planning for handling of in
creasing traffic problems. with the
objective of submitting proposals to
Congress for surveys.
The study revolves around proposed
comprehensive engineering surveys of
the general transportation problems,
proposals for construction of SubWayS
and municipal parking garages, and
the effect of future Government build
ing programs4i in the downtown area.
City Hagds Ask Advises.
The Commissioners asked the
group to advise them whether the pro-
posed subway survey should be broad-
ened in scope to include engineering
analysis of general transportation
problems, which would include traffic
and parking.
The group was asked to consider
whether present data on the origin and
destination Of traffic Gf various kinds
should be included in any proposed
survey.
1t has been proposed that Congress
be asked for an Appropriation Of $4,000
for an engineering study to determine
if subways are needed. what benefits
would be derived from them, their cost
and means of financing and feasibility
of construction. The group today con.
sidered whether a sum Of $25,000
would be sufficient to cover the cost
of a broader survey. Some were of
the opinion $4,000 would be needed.
The committee was asked to report
on whether the District government
should build parking garages or pro-
vide parking lots or whether such
| facilities should be left to private ill
dustry.

against diphtheria in Gallinger Hos
pital today.
Although placed under an oxygen
tent after the TRANSMISSION yesterday,
the girls condition was so critical this
morning that a second fireman was
called in to give additional blood.
June was near death yesterday
when three firemen were called to
the hospital from No. Engine Co.
Just after they had submitted sam
pies of their blood for classification
tests, however, fire broke out in
the first block of Fifth street northeast.
Fireman'S Blood Matched.
The men hurriedly returned to the
engine house and, with 10 other COM
panies. were dispatched to the scene
of the blaze.
Meanwhile, the hospital tests had
been completed, and it was found the
blood of Fireman James H. Gately
matched that of the sick girl. A mes
senger rushed to the scene of the fire.
The situation was explained to the
official in charge and Gately was ex-
rused from duty. With two COM
panions he went to the hospital in a
taxicab and gave a pint of his blood.
June rallied slightly, but last night
she was placed under the oxygen
tent. This morning, as her condition
failed to improve, physicians decided
to give a second TRANSMISSION. and
