SMOKE CURBS
To BE STUDIED

Smoke-control legislation will be
taken up for further consideration
by the Public Health Subcommit'
tee of the House District Commit
tee tomorrow at 1920 a. m.
There are two bills under con.
sideration, one of which was
drafted by the Commissioners and
the other by Peoples Counsel Will
liam A. Roberts.
Since the first hearings last
week five unions have filed II OBJ,
jections to the Commissioners bill
with Representative Virginia E
Jenckes CD Of Indiana, subcom'
mittee chairman.
One of the objections is that
the Commissioners bill would not
require licensed engineers for boil
ers carrying less than is pounds
pressure.
The unions claim this provision
is menace to occupants of apart.
ment houses, hotels and office
buildings and to 80 per cent of
teachers and school children.

Skeet Shooting
Sets Maryland
Hills d-BOOm

There is a booming of guns
in the Maryland hills these
spring days. For the skeet
shooting season is in full swing.
Did you ever shoot a skeet?
No? Then you're missing some
thing for those who do claim
it's the greatest sport in the
world.
Skeet shooting is a modifica-
ton of trap Shooting-which
again is different from dice
shooting. The skeet, a clay
target, is thrown into the air
by a spring device and the
shooter tries to bring it down.
It requires a fast eye.
Out at the Kenwood Skeet
Club, D. L. Chamberlin is a
past master of bringing down
the birds" and makes remark
able shots.
In the hills beyond, along
Bradley Boulevard, there are
several Skeet clubs.

MAYOR. WILLIS.
DUE To SEEK
FOURTH TERM .
Fighting HyattsviIIe Chief to
Be Nominated Tonight;
Has CoIorfuI Career

EVANSVILLE, Md, April IS.
Dared yesterday to run again as
mayor of Hyattsville-and far be
it for a Virginian to refuse a
challenge H. T. Willis says
he will seek a fourth term as
mayor here, his nomination to be
made at a convention at the
municipal building tonight.
AS yet no one has announced
any intention to oppose the ex-
plosive, fighting doctor.
Mayor Since 1927
DR.. Willis first ran for political
office, and as mayor, in 1927,
after engaging in a lucrative prac-
tice here since 1905 as physi-
clan, and additional success as
banker, merchant and real estate
man. He came here shortly after
graduation from the Medical Col
lege Of Virginia.
He initiated the fight during the
last legislature against the present
site of the Prince Georges county
metropolitan building, next door
to his home, and forced passage OF
a law allowing the commissioners
to locate county offices on some
other site. He fought the garbage
and trash measure, declaring it
would cost his neighbors $500 a
month in collections, and another
bill was substituted.
He now is in the midst of a
fight over a special tax for a
library, an issue which may pro-
ject itself into the May 6 election.
He declares that it gives the
library board, not the council, au-
thority over it, and taxes the town
to maintain a library available to
the county. Governor Nice has
yet to approve the measure.
Ready to Run
He successfully fought a Legion
candidate for the office two years
ago.
Despite the odds, he has been
dared to run again, and may get,
so the gossip runs, a Republican
county leader, as well as a Demo
crat to nominate him in tonight's
convention.

HEARING SLATED.
ON MARRIED
CLAUSE
House Civil Service Group
To Consider CeIIer Bill
To Repeak9an
Marriage clause" letter con-
test story on Page 22.

New hope of success was given
to advocates of repeal of the
married persons" clause today
with the announcement by Repre-
sentative Robert Ramspeck CD
of Georgia, chairman Of the
House Civil Service Committee,
that hearings on a bill for that
purpose will begin before his
group Thursday.
The measure upon which the
hearings will be based is that
nSored by Representative
Emanuel Celler CD of New York.
It calls directly and specifically
for repeal of the existing statute
which provides that in making
reductions in Government person
mel preference shall X given to
persons who do not have a huS-
baud or wife in the service.
Lower Brackets Hit
While Representative Ramspeck
feels that the administration of
the existing statute has resulted
in only the lower Salaried class
being affected, he says he has
not decided as yet that the clause
should be repealed. He indicated
a belief that it may be well, in
stead, to amend the provision so
that the higher-salaried classes
would be affected, adding:
81 feel that the law has been
administered to the detriment
of the lower salaried classes. I
do not say that we should re-
peal the law, but We might
amend it in the manner indi-
Gated in the bill introduced by
Representative Randolph. He
proposes that only those hus-
bands and wives working in the
Government whose joint income
is above a certain amount
believe $4,000 or $5,OOO-shOuld
be required to give up their jobs
in a personnel reduction move.
UP TO WORKERS
"The wOmen's organizations
have cOntended that the exist
ence of the clause has worked
to the detriment Of women, but
I cannot agree with that posi-
ton because under the law it is
left to the husband and wife to
decide which is to give up the
job when that becomes neces-
Sary because of this law.
"There is still another cOnsid-
Grafton to be given the Celler
proposal at this time and that
is that there are very few re-
auctions in personnel being
made now. The administration
did a good deal of cutting of
personnel last year, but I think
it is about all over now.
However, we will give full
hearings on this bill, and shall
not make up my mind as to how
/ am going to act on it until
we have heard all the, testi.
mony."
1t has been pointed out during
the time the clause has been on
the statute books that some mar
ried couples have separated just
because they realized if they did
not they would not be permitted
to keep their jobs, and they could
not get along on the salary of one.

NEW SCHEDULES
GIVEN FIRST
TEST HERE
Officials See Improvement
in Conditions As $1,000
Workers Try System

Police, traffic and Government
officials today gave the stag
gered hour schedule for Federal
employees their cautious blessings,
reserving final judgment, how
ever, until the system has been
in operation several days.
It was pointed out that the
changed working hours of ap-
proximately $1,000 employees did
not work a hardship on the en-
ployes and that improvements in
traffic conditions were notice
able.
The schedule provides four
morning periods spaced at IS
minute intervals for employees to
reach their offices. The staggered
hour begins at $3.50 a. m. and
extends to 9:15 a. m. A similar
arrangement governs the evening
schedule between 4 p. m. and
4:45 p. m.
Hazen Gives Views
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen,
who proposed the schedule several
months ago, stated that early re-
ports indicate some measure of
success. He said:
ct is too early to judge, but
the plan cannot help but reduce
traffic congestion and provide
better and more comfortable
Inspector Benjamin A. Lamb, in
charge of the Traffic Bureau,
stated that the new system has
brought about a marked improve
nent in traffic conditions. He
2aid:
"Traffic is usually heavier on
Monday, and in addition it is a
Gay day today, but due to the
5tagger schedule this morning
traffic was more easily con-
IrOlled.
Voicing enthusiastic support of
he plan, Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzen pointed out that a
better indication of the success of
the plan will be it's operation in
the next few days. He stated;
GAS people get more used to
the schedule, expect a notice
able improvement in traffic
conditions. The operation Of the
plan today was very satiSfac-
tory.
zone of the most noticeable
improvements in traffic this
morning was that street cars
were not punched together in
one street."
Schedules Changed
Officials of the Capital Transit
Company said street car and bus
schedules have been arranged to
correspond in service to the needs
of employees on the stagger SEIZED
ule. Studies will be made during
the week to determine if changes
will be necessary.
Representing the interests of
Government employees Lut her
Stewart. president of the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
pointed out that there has been
no objections to the system. He
said:
perhaps it will inconveni-
ence families whose members
have to get to work at differ
ent periods, but we have re-
ceived no complaints.
"The only phase of the ques-
ton which we are watching
closely is that employers do not
use the stagger hours to make
employees work overtime"

ABSURDITY PLUS

Handsome whte-haired U s. Senator Lester J.

 The Senater is of those who believes or at least in his public utterances says he believes, that the Roosevelt program is verging Communism, seeking to remodel America into collectivist state and urging "an alliance between farmers and workers with the aim of sezing political control He declares the constitution is in peril and every so many al- legations of like Such wild assertions as every one including the Senator knows are the usual hows of the Old Guard in effort to gain attention. At heart they know there isn't anything that savers of Communism in the program of the Democratic Administration, but it makes Republican campaign propaganda.
 However in addressing state chamber of con- nerce meeting in New York recently Senator Dickn- son. waxing eloquently leaned far to the right or the left that virtually flew back and slap Agricultural Adjustment Administration the vener- able Senator shouted to his listeners that he con- demned the AAA for establishing the precedent of

allowing benefcaries of this subsidy to vote on the continuance of such government aid"
 The interpretation is clear. Dickinson would take from every person who benefits under the Agricul- tural the right of franchise In other words, the Senator criticzes the Roosevelt Administration for not deliberately attempting to violate the Consttu- tion which he raves so much about, by being foolish to the point of telling the farmers they can't vote if they accept the AAA Even Dickinson might have seen the absurdty of such statement if he had taken time to read his speech before he delivered it.
 Little wonder that the cries of the Old Guard are passed over as so many befuddled words without a sound thought carload Politically, the Dickinsons, the Hoovers and their lk die hard but they pass in their mental senility even as the dodo.
