 HARVARD.

Recorders vs. specialties.

The winning streak of the league leading Specialties finally has been broken and it took Joe Galasso's Recorders to turn the trick. They had to bowl 504 to win that one game. Sterry has been trying to bring 8 new noisemaker every week because of his original siren. The Recorders are waking up and show ing some signs of life and the noise they made is something to boast a. gainst the noise of the specialties. Well, miracles do happen, because Sterry received life membership on the scrub team and this week he bowled over the 30 mark every game. Wes Mclean was high scorer for the Specialties with BIT and Anchor Eddie Standard was high for the losers with 306.

Stand on Figures.
DISPUTES EXISTENCE
OF HOUSING EMERGENCY
Cites Federal Figures in Support
of Point-Sees New Space
for $4,000.
BY JOHN H. CLINE.

Rufus S. Lusk, representing a group
of local real estate men, was charged
with deliberately disappearing
facts" today as he sought to con-
vince an unfriendly House subcom-
mittee there is no housing emergency
here.
The witness, who said he was hired
for $500 to present the case of the
real estate men, accused the sub
committee of being unwilling to ac-
cept Government figures relating to
housing.
This remark brought down upon
him the wrath of Representative
Henry Ellenbogen of Pennsylvania,
chairman Of the subcommittee.
you will have to behave your
self" the chairman shouted, IF you
want to testify. You are not here
to attack this committee. That was
gratutious, unfair, incorrect and
improper statement, and you know 1t. l"
"All right. SIR" Lusk replied, as
he began another line of testimony.
Statement Disputed.
Lusk also got in hot water when
he said the city of Cleveland went
bankrupt because real estate men
couldn't pay their taxes.
That statement is not true" one
Of the committee members shouted.
Ellenbogen directed Lusk to desist
from this line of testimony. Although
there is no member from Ohio here, "
he said, 'the committee resents the
reference to Cleveland as a bankrupt
city. 1t is one of our finest cities and
housing there is better than in Wash
ington."
Lusk introduced a number of charts
in his attack on the Ellenbogen bill.
which would create a commission to
fix and control rents here.
The subcommittee apparently was
skeptical Of his data and attacked the
authenticity of the charts at every
point.
Ellenbogen told Lusk the subcom-
mittee Is considering amending the
bill to exempt new construction from
control Of the proposed rent commits
sion. He said he believed this would
eliminate the objection that the COM
ulloSlOu WOutu nave q CSIlQeIlCy W
discourage new construction.
Lusk was asked whether any men,
bers of the committee he represented
owned any alley dwellings.
He said he didn't know.
Identifies Occupation.
Representative Wood of Missouri
asked Lusk what his business had
been. The witness said he was a trade
executive.
He testified he was employed to
compile data for his committe and has
been paid about 81 500 since February
for his services. He said he also is
paid 5000 month by the Washington
Taxpayers Protective Association.
The committee, composed of real
estate men, has raised and spent

ATLANTA, Ga, May 16.-Despite a
lead of 2,910 votes for repeal of
Georgia's 27-year-old prohibition law.
1t appeared at pm. today an official
tabulation would be necessary to de.
eide definitely the result of yesterdays
repeal referendum. Added rural re-
turns cut the repeal lead and the vote
stood 1856 to 75.646.
1t was the first time since Georgia
went dry in 1907 that the people had
an opportunity to vote on the ques-
ton.
The surprising majority for repeal
returned by Chatham County (Sa-
vannah, approximately 10000 votes.
was the major factor in giving the
wet forces their lead. Chatham is
the home of Representative Spence
Grayson, leader of the repeal forces.
Beer and Wine Win.
The Associated Press tabulation
last night of unofficial returns from
the referendum, which also included
separate questions on legalization of
beer and wines. follows:
For repeal, 72,438.
Against repeal, 64,308.
For beer. 61,057.
Against beer. 48,118.
For wines, 59.270.
Against wines, 46,143.
This tabulation included returns
from all but 2 of the States 159
counties. More than $4,000 Georgians
were eligible to vote in the election,
but the latest figures showed fewer
than 10000 had cast their ballots.
The most intensive campaign, fol-
lowing the legislative act providing
for the referendum, was conducted
by the prohibition forces, led by Mil
ton L. Fleetwood of Cartersville, presi-
dent Of the Georgia Press Association.
Church Bells Ring.
During the voting yesterday church
bells rang in various parts Of the
State. At Augusta, which returned o
large wet majority, ministers led
prayer services at the voting places.
Atlanta, the county seat Of Full
ton County, returned the second
largest majority vote for repeal, 5,o63
votes.
The larger counties. which in
cluded heavy city votes, returned a
majority for repeal The home
counties of both of Georgia's United
States Senators and of Gov. Eugene
Talmadge cast majorities for reten-
ton Of prohibition.
If Georgia has repealed the dry
law the legislative statute calling for
the referendum provides that until
each county has held its own local
option election whisky cannot be sold
in the county.
Beer may be sold as Gov. Tai
madge has declared the results.
Wines also become legalized when the
Governor acts, but there is pro-
vision that counties wishing to pro-
hibit its sale may do so by local option
elections.

ings, followed the criticism of Justice

carry liability insurance.

require public vehicle operators to
carry liability insurance in the amount
Of s2.500 for bodily injuries or death.
and $500 for damage to or destruc-
ton to property on any one judg-
ment.
Rates Urged by Patman.

insurance for injuries be raised to
$1,000, for permanent disability or
death to $4,000, and for property
damage to $1,000.
