a spokesman for him said he
would be receptive toward
taking the craftsmanship.
The tentative committee, chosen
by a group including many of the
precinct committeeman and vice
committeeman includes:
Joseph R. Waite, 939 Oakland-av.
automobile dealer; Richard D. Ev-
ans, 1923 Ruckle-st, furniture deal
er; Richard Munter, 1915 N. Della
ware-st; John A. Mutschler, 1880

pkwy, architect and designer; John

railroader, and Boyd Bell, GA w.
29th-st, Negro leader
Have No fractional Ties
None of the committee members
are members of the county commits
tee and are said to have no factional
connections.
Mr.. Zimmerman could not be
reached to comment on the pro-
posed custer.
In addition to Mr.. Zimmerman,
officers of the county committee
against whom the custer demand is
aimed are Mrs Bloomfield Moore,
vice chairman: Edwin Mcclure, Sec
rotary, and Sam Montgomery, treas
urer.
The statement of the committee,
which met last night to draft the
custer demand, set out that he
cause of the Republican Party in
Marion County is hopeless as long
as the county organization is in the
hands of George V. BOSS Coffin.
mo Chance to Win"
Realizing there is no chance to
win an election under existing cir
cumstances," the statement said,
the committee is determined to
obtain Republican leadership free
from old factional alliances so that
all Republicans can unite for the
welfare of their party"
Boss Coffin was not mentioned in
the committee announcement, since
his control of the Republican party
is strictly unofficial. However,
there was no doubt as to the real
target of the custer move because
of the alliance between him and
Mr.. Emmelman, who has been the
Boss" political protege for years.
A spokesman estimated that the
custer committee can depend on
more than IS per cent of the County
Central Committee votes in the
proposed reorganization.
Offices to Be Opened
Downtown headquarters will be-
opened, it was said, as soon as Mr..
Bookwalter's cooperation is OBJ
tanned. The next step will be the
circulation of petitions among the
precinct committeeman and vice
committeeman calling for a special
meeting of the county committee to
hear the custer demand.
I'VE realize there have been half
hearted attempts to read Cap Coffin
out of the party before" a spokes-
man for the custer group admitted.
However" he declared, this is no
flash in the pan. We know there is
definite demand among the party
rank and file for a reorganization
and we've got the strength to put it
through.
1T has to be done now in prepa-
ration for the next primary The
last one proved pretty conclusively
that we can't win with Cap and
there's no use sacrificing the party
for one man.
The last primary was an exam
pie of complete party disharmony. II
we shake of Cap the Democrats
won't have a chance TO throw 'Cof-
finism' and boss rule up to us and
we'll have chance"
Several previous attempts have
been made TO GUST the Coffin regime
in the last 10 years, but each time
the old-hne group has steam
rollered" the opposition.

NAMING HEALTH
CHIEF DELAYED

Choice of a new health officer
for the District will be deferred
until Commissioner Dan. I. Sui
tan returns to the city, it was an
nounced today by Commissioner
George E. Allen.
Favored for the post are DR..
George C. Ruhland, health COM
missioner of Syracuse, N. Y, and
DR.. E. L. Bishop, health officer of
Tennessee, whose names, it was
learned, have been submitted to
the White House.
The reason given for submitting
the name to the White House, was
that the President is known to be
deeply interested in health, and
it Is felt the District office should
be a model for the nation.

known as an apt piano pupil and
something of an actress.
When it was pointed out that
there might be a possibility of her
winning more than enough money
for dolls, Joyce decided that she
perhaps would like to take a boat
ride. She said:
"You see, the only boat I've
ever been in was a Swan-BOat
at the tidal basin. I'd like to go
on a real boat and sail way
around to California.
AUNT TO GET SHARE
The West Coast attraction, it
was explained is Joyce's aunt,
Mary Lois Sedlock, whose hus-
band, Louis Sedlock, is a Los
Angeles broker.
Joyce intends to be generous
with her winnings, and said:

give Aunt Betty one of them"
She referred to Mrs. Hilda

An eight-year-old Washington
girl may be the winner Of $150,000
if reports on the drawings of the
Madrid lottery, published in La
Manana, Quito, Ecuador daily,
are true.
The girl whom fortune may
smile upon is Joyce Cissel, only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Burke
Cissell, of the Chastleton Hotel.
Joyce'S ticket was a Christmas
gift from Captain Colon Elroy
Alfaro, Ecuadorian minister. and
a close friend of the Cissel family.
AS explained by Captain Alfaro,
each ticket is divided into num-
ber of sections all bearing an
enumeration identical with that
of the parent ticket. Two of these
sections were purchased by the
Ecuadorian representative. One
of these was given to a friend Of
his in Ecuador, and the other was
given to the CiSsell girl.

PLAN STADIUM
FOR CAPITAL
Have Three Options on Tracts
Suitable for Building
Seating 10000

Plans for a private commercial
stadium in Washington that would
overshadow in size every other
sports arena in the world, and be
in competition with the huge
national stadium proposed for con-
struction here by the Federal Gov
ernment, were revealed today.
The commercial enterprise is be-
ing fostered by a group of New
York financiers, engineers and
sports promoters, now in the Capt.
tai comforting with District and
Federal officials.
They conferred yesterday with
c. Marshall Finnan, Superin-
tendent of National Capital Parks,
and representatives of other parks
and planning units of the local
government.
Have Three Options
Already options have been OBJ
tained on three large tracts here,
the group informed the officials.
The location of the sites was not
revealed.
It was declared today by Mr..
Finnan that the group also sought
to coordinate their plans with
those of the Federal agencies in
construction of stadium. They
made no detailed proposal, how
ever, and were requested by Mr..
Finnan to submit their PROPOSE
tion in writing.
The construction plans which
the group displayed to the COM
mittee of local officials called for
rooted arena capable of seating
more than 10000 persons and to
include facilities for football, Soc
Ger, ice hockey, skating and swim
ming. Ae-.
May Cost Is Million
No estimate was given of the
cost of such colossal structure,
but based on a scale of compari-
son with existing rooted arenas in
Brooklyn, st. Louis and Roches-
ter, the cost has been unofficially
estimated at between $10,000,00O
and 100000.
The roof of the structure would
be of glass, according to the plans.
The New Workers are said to
have indicated to the officials
their desire to coordinate the two
stadium plans rather than work
independently and in competition
with the public structure. They
stressed, however, that their plans
will be carried out if they are un-
able to IDEAL" with the Govern
ment.

was Ralph A. Fienberg, prominent

Says:

You know, it's beginning to
look as if everybody who man.
aged to survive the holidays is
planning to travel to Florida
E. OF course, lots of the plans
won't go through without a
"hitch."
There's a certain romance
about Florida, when you think
that it used to be a famous
stamping ground for pirates
In fact, it still is.
After looking at the rates of
those beach hotels, it's easy to
understand why so many are
called "The Breakers"
They're expecting such rush
Of business this winter that real
estate agents are hauling their
bungalows out and putting them

PARKING TAGS

Despite a police pledge that
the drive against violators Of
the new emergency no-parking
ban on 80 principal streets of
the city between 2 a. m. and
9 a. m. would not begin until
Monday, hundreds of Washing
ton motorists found police had
been playing tag" with their
machines today.
Although no estimate could be
obtained from the traffic bureau
on the number of tickets handed
out, many machines in the pro-
hibited areas bore traffic sum-
mons today.
The principal offensive was
along Connecticut Avenue.
On Wisconsin Avenue one po-
liceman alone reported he had
written 80 tickets.
Already the new restriction has
brought bitter protests from au-
tomobile owners and the American
Automobile Association.

WILLIAM L. RlCHARDS
Shrewd eyes-bristling white
mustachios and the manners of
a seasoned courtier-that is Will
liam P. Richards, District tax
assessor and a veteran of "a
years in the District service.
Assessor Richards this year
celebrates his SEVENTEEN birthday
anniversary and District officials
are aghast at rumors he may
consider" retiring.
Old Saying Questioned
It rs an old saying any mans
job can be filled by another,
but the District authorities have
their doubts about filling Mr..
Richards shoes.
Last year Representative Can
non of Missouri told the House
District Committee:
II do not believe any man can
be secured who will fill the posi-
tiOn as efficiently as Mr.. Rich
ards.
ASSISTANT
The veteran entered the service
of the District as assistant engi-
neer in 1891. He was successfully
promoted until in 1905 he was ap-
pointed surveyor. He became tax
assessor July q. 1908.
He is native of Milford, Pa,
but has lived in Washington so
long he is rated a 100 per cent
Washingtonian.
No one in the District has so
accurate a knowledge of the city's
property value.

made in Spain on December %.
The reference to the unnamed
gentleman leads Senor Alfaro to
believe that his Ecuadorian friend
is meant. Since all sections Of
the ticket are identically num-
bered, Joyce's section also would
share equally in the prize money
with the 18 or 20 other segments
of the ticket.
Lottery tickets are very accept
able Christmas gifts, Joyce told
The Times with all the gravity
of her eight years. She received
several dolls from friends, she
said, but added:
"I'd rather get a lottery tick
ct than a doll, though, because
then 1 could buy a lot more
dolls if 1 won.
"YOu see, a lottery ticket is
pretty nice thing to own,
especially If I win"
THIRD YEAR PUPIL
Joyce is really a very grown up
person, and in her blue plaid
gingham dress looked fully two
years older than her actual age.
Dark-haired and blue-eyed, she is

COPELAND RAPS
FURTHER TAX
FOR D. {.
New York Senator Declares He
Is Opposed to Kings Plan
for New Levy

Further opposition to imposi'
ton of another income tax on
District residents developed on
Capitol Hill today.
Senator Royal S. Copeland
CD of New York, member OF
the Senate District Committee
and of the Senate District Appro-
priations subcommittee, declared
he does not "have much SYM
pathy" with the projected tax
legislation.
The proposal to inflict the new
tax on Washingtn residents was
made recently by Senator William
H. King CD of Utah, chairman OF
the Senate District Committee,
and evoked a storm of protest
from citizens who already pay
one of the highest tax rates in
the nation.
Senator Copeland Opposed
An authority on District finan-
cial matters through his many
years service on the appropria-
tionS subcommittee, which holds
hearings on the city's fiscal af"
fairs, Senator Copeland indicated
he would not support Senator
Kings attempt to impose the
new tax on the District.
Expressing the view the Dis
trict should have a more stable
method of taxation" Senator
Copeland said:
81 feel the District should
have a larger measure of self
control. 1t is pity the Com
miSSiOnerS must submit the city
budget to members of Congress
who come here from all parts
of the country and who do not
know anything of the needs
and requirements of the budget
ary conditions of the District"
Representative Jennings Ran
dolph (D) of West Virginia, a
member of the House District
Committee, and Representative
Frank Crowther (RO of New
York, a member of the House
Ways and Means Committee,
have already voiced opposition to
the income tax plan.
Should Pay Share
Business and civic OrganiZa.
tions here, which are fighting the
move to increase taxes, hold the
Federal Government should pay
it's just share of the cost of the
local government, as required by
law, thus obviating any need for
a tax increase.
Under the original setup, the
Federal Government was pledged
to pay so per cent of the cost
of operating the city of Wash
ington.
Later this was reduced to 40
per cent, that law still standing
on the books. Under the lump
sum" contribution, which has
been in use for the past 10 years,
there has been a constant de-
crease, until this year the Federal
Government paid only 13 per cent
of the cost of local government.
At the same time the Federal
Government decreased the local
revenue by condemnation of land
in the downtown area for the Gov
ernment building program, caus-
ing a loss of taxes.

.04 CHILDREN
KEPT FROM
CLASSES
PIT. A. Takes Drastic Action
in Fight to Get Repairs
to VaIveIeSS Boiler

While a score of angry mothers
stood guard at the buildings
doors to prevent their entry, 404
pupils of the dingy District Line
School of Seat Pleasant, Nd,
frolicked about the village today
enjoying another holiday from
classrooms which the mothers de-
clare a firetrap.
The children will be kept out,
the mothers said, until a safety
valve is installed on the school
boiler to remove the danger Of
explosion and other repairs made
to eliminate what they hold to be
a grave fire menace.
Promised by Drew
According to Mrs. Gerald R. Ex-
ton, PIT. A. member and a leader
of the group at the doors today,
Nicholas Orem, of Upper Marl.
boro, superintendent of Prince
Georges County schools, promised
to have a new flue and safety
valve installed on the boiler dur
ing the Christmas holidays. The
flue was installed, but no safety
valve. So, according to Mrs. Ex-
ten:
eve took matters into our
own hands. Mrs. Blanche
Fricken, the principal, and the
other teachers are out of the
picture. They did not object
when we stood guard at the
doors and sent all of the 4O4
children home. We intend to
keep them out until this matter
is fixed up.
SCHOOL CROWDED
"This school was built 30
years ago, with four rooms. Five
years ago we got a Six-rOOm ad-
ditiOn. The school is over
crowded. There is no assembly
hall and no kitchen from which
to serve warm meals to those
who may need them. The floors
shake when dancing classes are
held.
eve have been promised addi-
tions and other improvements,
but we get none, while new
schools go up in Riverdale,
HyattsvilIe, Mount Rainier and
the other favored suburbs"
Mrs. EXten took time off from
guard duty at the door to lead d
tour of inspection to the low CELL
inged, trash-ridden basement.
Piles of coal were scattered
about and heaps of empty boxes
and other debris mounted toward
the wooden rafters. Rickety steps
led to the combination fireroom
and boys lavatory, dark, smelly
place, with accommodations for
four.
JanitOr Is Anxious
In the fireroom, Jack Tobb,
the janitor, stood with his eye
on the steam gauge, unwilling
to leave the place with no safety
valve to govern the pressure. He
admitted an urgent need for the
device.
Meanwhile the half-dozen
teachers of the six grades re-
manned in their empty class
rooms, wrapped in fur coats. The
boiler, burning low for safety's
sake, had not generated suffi-
cient heat for the building.

TYPOGRAPHICAL
 UNION PROTESTS

Washington. Dec. 3-(UP)-Presi- dent Charles P. Howard of the h. ternational Typographical Union to- day charged that President William Green of the American Federation of Labor was seeking to restrict the rights of minorities.
 Towards statement was contained in a reply to an attack by Green on the drive for industrial unionism sponsored by President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers and in which Howard is cooperat- ing.
 The purpose of the committee for industrial unionism formed by Howard, Lewis and other industrial union advocates is, Howard told Green, ito promote democratic dis cussion and to bring the unorganized into the American Federation of Labor"
 ITO confine the effort of conven- tionS of the American Federation of Labor" Howard declared, would be to presume that only the officers and delegates are to be considered and that the members of National and International Unions, who sup port the Federation, as well as the millions of unorganized to whom we would make appeal, should have no direct interest of influence in making the fundamental policies of the American Federation of Labor.
 My experience does not justify acceptance of such a restriction upon the rights of minoritieS."

DEATH RECALLS
 CIVIL WAR TALE

Westfield, Mass, Dec. 3-(UP)- William E. Hartwell, oldest male resident of Westfield, who led a charmed" life throughout his 97 years, died at his home today after a short illness. Hartwell, native of Charlemont, and two brothers all were eligible for service in the Union army at outbreak of the Civil war but someone had to remain home to operate the family farm in nearby Buckham.
 The brothers drew lots and it fell to William to stay at home. One brother was killed in action and the other died of illness contracted dur ing his war service.
 Still an active farmer, Hartwell at the age of 70 was run over by a hay wagon. Although he had to have his right arm amputated, he recovered and enjoyed fine health until stricken a few days ago.
 Hartwell leaves two daughters, Mrs. Warren II. Noble and Mrs. Al- bert E. Kenney, both of Wcstfeid. Funeral services will be held ct D. m. Thursday with burial in Arms cemetery, Shelburne Falls.
