Honesty, intelligence and energy
are the primary requisites Of
Washington correspondents. 200
representatives of the country's
schools of journalism were told
today by Raymond Brandt, Wash
ington correspondent of the St.
Louis Post-DiSpatch.
AS instructors of journalism en-
tered the second day of their
four-day annual convention at the
National Press Club, they were
told by Mr.. Brandt that any cor
respondent who is worth his salt"
can determine whether official
releases" give a true picture Of
what is going on behind the
scenes in Government circles.
Mr.. Brandt said he had no
quarrels with Government "propa-
ganda" so long as such material
presented both sides of controver-
Sial issues.
He expresses the view that

u. 5. REGIONAL
CAPITAL PLAN
WA|TSSTUDY
Time for Considering
Scheme Assured
for Congress
By EARL GOODWIN

The Federal Capital will not be
moved from Washington, D. c.
Not for many years to come
and perhaps never.
Nor does the much-headlined re,
port of the Natural Resources
Committe recommend such a
thing.
That matter of a dozen little
WaShingtons" merely means that
the 1O8 various field districts in
which the Federal Government
agencies work might be reduced
to dozen cities in selected
regions-and thus save time and
money and make for efficiency in
administration.
A Longtime Program
But even at that. the matter
is one for longtime planning.
If the President recommends
anything about it at all he will
give the country and Congress
lot of time to think it over.
There certainly will be nothing
done about it at the coming ses'
sion of Congress. You will not
find a Congressman in a thousand
and that covers several Con.
gresses-who would be willing to
vote to take one foot of Federal
space out of his district or any
other district.
To reassure the people Of the
District of Columbia that the
Presidents planning board has no
idea like trying to move the

FEDERATION
So NOTIFIES
SEN. KING
Declares "Numbers, "
Drunkenness Are
Worst D. 6. Ills

In a letter to Senator William
H. King Cd, of Utah, chairman
of the Senate District Committee,
Wilbur LaRoe, jr., chairman of the
committee on civic affairs of the
Federation of Churches today an
nounced that the Federation will
vigorously oppose legislation to
permit horse racing or gambling
of any kind in the District.
The letter contained a synopsis
of the Federation's views on all
the civic affairs in Washington in
1885 and suggests problems
which they hope to clear up during
the next session of Congress.
D. C. Heads Praised
District Commissioners, the
court, the police, the Board of
Education and the Health Depart
ment are all highly commended.
In opposing the program for the
New Year Mr.. LaRoe said:
"The two worst black spots
just now are the numbers
racket, which is flouriShing
almost unchecked, and drunken
ness, the arrests for drunken
ness alone averaging about
$4,000 annually. You succeeded
in getting a bill through the
Senate that would have aided
the authorities in fighting the
numbers racket, but the bill
came to a diSgracefuI halt in
the judiciary subcommittee of
the House District Committee.
Much remains to be done.
The civic position of the Negro
must be improved and handi-
caps against him removed. We
must have more modern
method of dealing with in
ebriateS, experience having
demonstrated that just throw
ing them into Jail periodically
fails to solve the prObleE..
.''We ought not to kill a
hundred or more persons a
year with automobiles even if
a drastic remedy is required to
prevent the slaughter.
OPPOSES RACING, GAMBLING
eff we must have liquor, its
distribution should be reason
ably restricted. There is need
for a strengthening of our pa
role system, our probation SyS-
tenn, a undermining of our juve-
nile court law, better facilities
for our courts and an enlarge
ment of our police force. We
should also put a stop to the
mixing of young prisoners with
hardened criminals at LOrtOn.
"And there must be relentless
warfare against the gambler.
"The proposal to authorize
horse racing in the District of
Columbia must be written down
on the debit side of the ledger,
not so much because racing is
bad in itself, but because gam
blers, dope fiends and crooks
hang like parasites around race
tracks"

Ken Murray
Says:

There's been a lot of COM
ment about President Roosevelt
paying $50 to hear himself
speak at the coming Jackson
Day dinner That seems silly,
when you consider he could
have had a phOnOgraph record
made of one of his radio
speeches, for about three bucks.
l understand that some of
the Democrats objected to pay
ing such a high price just to
hear the President speak at
a banquet. Personally, l think
they're getting off cheap. Look
what it cost the taxpayers
every time the President talks
to Congress.
Oh, well.
It's easy to see why present
day Democrats should rebel at
paying $50 in cold cash.
They're used to signing AAA
checks.

MARLBORO
Election Is Nearing
With Shortage Of
Candidates

UPPER MARLBORO. Md, Dec,
28.-Election day here doesn't
present the usual question of
Who will be elected?" but a
rather unique one of Whom can
we get to run?".
With three commissioners
elected to handle this towns af-
fairs, the apparent indifference
of citizens here has forced Off
cials to draft" a candidate each
year.
Commissioner Fred w. Wilson,
a local merchant, has been con-
tinuously drafted for the past 20
years. This year. however, Mr..
Wilson has announced that he
docs not choose to run" So,
with election day set for January
6, citizens here are wondering
who will run for the job.
Mr.. Wilson's refusal to be a
candidate for reelection has
caused the other two commits
Sioners, Judge T. Van Clagett and
William S. Hill, no little concern.
In addition to the indifference
of candidates only a handful of
the towns 500 or so voters can
be persuaded to go to the polls
on election day.
Should no one agree to run
for the third seat, then the voters
will be forced to write the name
of some citizen on the ballot and
draft" one who, perhaps, will
take no great interest in the
work of the board.

STOCK PRICES
NOT so BAD
The Market Could be
Worse" Say Stock
Shippers.
Quotations, While Lower
Now, Are Still Higher
Than Year Ago.

In spite or the recent break in live
stock prices. the market could be
worse" The latter quotation has
been commonly repeated by numerous
shippers who have had stock on the
South ST. Paul market during the
past Two weeks. says the livestock
market bulletin issued by the Central
Cooperative Association, farmer
owned livestock selling agency al that
market
This recalls 10 mind some Of the
remarks made by shippers al this
time last year. When hog markets
were struggling 10 reach the $500
mark. shippers were frequently heard
TO say. If We could only get around
$500 for our hogs. We wouldn't kick.
When log fed steers sold al 500 10
$50 per cwt-. some remarked. that
a 900 TO $1,000 market on choice
steers would be plenty high. In fact
one southern Minnesota man who was
looking for thin stock 10 take back
10 the country said that he would be
perfectly satisfied If ne could be sure
: Sd
his steers were finished.
Livestock Prices Have Declined.
All branches of the livestock mar
ket have suffered declines during the
past four weeks. There have been
reasons for the sharp break. such as
seasonal grassy condition OF cattle,
meat boycott in the east. demoraliZed
dressed meat trade. general depres-
sion. etc. Yet after this break which
has amounted TO as much a $500 or
more per cwt-. prices today are equal
TO and above the greatest hopes eX-
pressed by feeders year ago.
