Investigation of Washington's

court dockets, is practically fin

mendations will be given Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings on

Of the Division of Investigation,
Department of Justice, said today.
The length Of time occupied
in the investigation, as well as Di-

Sick Children Cheered
BV New Club Here

The right to romp and run
about in the street or in the back
yard, taken for granted by most
boys and girls, is denied to many
small children through no fault
Of their own.
Sometimes those little boys and
girls suffer from heart ailments,
which makes it necessary for
them to stay in bed few hours
each day when their playmates
are playing tag or climbing up
trees.
Junior League Sponsor
For those children, a new club,
designed to bring good cheer to
them, is being organized. The
new club is known as the I'm Bed
Club" and is being sponsored by
the Junior League committee of
the Washington Heart Associa-
ton.
Forty-eight children from homes
both rich and poor throughout
the city have already been en-
rolled in the club.
Membership in the club and the
benefits from it are absolutely
free. All the children have to do
is to signify their desire to join
and they become a member. They
write letters to their fellow mem
berS, they receive a monthly
magazine" containing reports Of

ACTION LIKELY.
IF BLACK BILL
|SPASSED
Senator Thinks Congress
Approval Would Commit
Government to Plan

Benefits are expected to accrue
to Government employees if the
Black 30-hour week bill becomes
law, it was predicted today by
the author of the measure, Sena-
tor Hugo L. Black CD of Ala.
bama.
While the proposal, now the
subject of hearings before a SEN
ate Judiciary subcommittee, does
not concern itself with the hours
Of labor of Uncle Sans workers,
it would have the effect of put
ting the Government on record
as in favor of reducing the work
day to five hours.
Farms Exempt
Senator Blacks bill would pro
hibit the shipment in interstate
commerce of any articles manu-
factured by concern which per.
mitted its employees to work
more than 30 hours a week with.
out extra compensation. Farm
products shipped by the original
producer would be exempt.
Senator Black said today that
in his opinion it would follow
Immediately upon enactment of
his bill that the Government
workers would be placed on a
3O-hour week. which would mean
either six days of five hours
each or five days of six hours
each.
Black Gives Views
Senator Black said:
II certainly think that if
my bill is passed the Admins
tratiOn would be ON record as
subscribing to the 3O-hOur week
principle, and it would be up
to the Government to lead the
way by putting its employees on
a 3O-hOur week.
II am of the opinion that
the Government would take
steps to place its employees on
such a basis as soon as my bill
is passed."
There is considerable belief in
Congress that the Black measure
will be passed at the present
Congress, although opposition to
it has been voiced by business
interests.

Choice May Be Made in Next
Week; Several Prominent
Lawyers Considered

The names of approximately
thirty attorneys have been sub
mitted to the House District sub.
committee investigating the local
crime situation as candidates for
the subcommittee investigator, it
was asserted today by Represent
ative Jennings Randolph CD Of
West Virginia, subcommittee
chairman.
The West Virginian said the
question Of choosing an investi-
gator will not be taken by the
subcommittee until the investigat-
ing body is given funds by the
House.
It is expected, he said, that the
House Monday will consider and,
probably, approve the resolution
recommended by the Rules Com
mittee authorizing funds to be
made available to the subcom-
mittee. It then will be necessary
to obtain the funds through en-
dorsement by the House Com
mittee on Accounts, Mr.. Ran.
dolph explained.
He predicted this action will be
week, so that an investigator
taken by the House early in the
probably will be named before
the week is ended.
Representative Randolph stated
that until an attorney of the
prosecutor type of Ferdinand Pc.
cora is selected the committee will
not permit blanket charges to be
made against the police force.
Several prominent attorneys, in
cluding Corporation Counsel E.
Barrett Prettyman, are under con-
sideration, it was learned.
