CITIZENS TO AID
D. c. CRIME PROBE
Yaden Tells Randolph Fed.
GRAFTON Will Support
House Inquiry.

Cooperation of organized citizen
ship of the District in the special
crime investigation to be conducted
by special committee of the House
District Committee was offered today
to Chairman Randolph by James g.
Yaden, president Of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations.
Yaden told Randolph the fedora
ton, representing so neighborhood as
sociations with total membership Of
10000 law-abiding citizens. are inter-
ested in fair study of Washington's q
crime problem, which should be fol-
lowed by constructive legislation. To
that end, he said, the federation
would cooperate.
The committee will begin its inquiry
Monday at 10 am. with Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen and Police Supt.
Ernest w. Brown as the first witnesses.
The hearings will be held in executive
session, but the public will be repre-
sented through reporter for each Of
the five Washington newspapers.
In the meantime, Randolph said, he
would urge Attorney General Cum
mings to assign several Department OF
Justice agents to assist the committee.
1t had been planned to employ several
private Investigators, but Randolph
believes 1t will be in the interest OF
economy to have the Department OF
Justice do the job. The committee
had intended to ask the House for an
appropriation Of $1,000, but this will
not be needed If Cummings grants
Randolph's request.

Adams Will Not Rise to Point
of Order Against Nc
Carran'S Motion.
SPONSOR OF MEASURE
PREPARED FOR BATTLE
Passage of Deficiency Bill Would
Send 1t Back to House for
Action on Amendments.

The outlook for Senate approval Of
the McCarran amendment for i'm
mediate restoration of the remain
ing 5 per cent of the Government
pay cut appeared brighter today
when it became known that Senator
Adams, Democrat, of Colorado, who
is in charge of the pending deficiency
measure, will not raise a point of
order against Senator McCarran's
motion.
Senator Adams indicated he Is in
sympathy with the proposal to re-
establish basic pay levels and does
not believe there will be much dltf-
Guilty in considering the question in
the Senate. He emphasized, however,
that he was speaking only fer HIM
self
Senator McCarran, merely as a
precaution, has given written notice
of intention to try to suspend the
rules to avoid a point of order against
his pay amendment. If those in
charge of the deficiency measure do
not raise the point of order, how
ever, it is no. likely to be raised by
others, in which case suspension OF
the rules will not be necessary. To
suspend the rules would require a
two-thirds vnfe.
There is believed to be a good
chance for approval of the pay amend
ment in the Senate. The pending
measure, carrying operating expenses
for several Government commissions
for the next five months, would then
90 back to the House for action on
Senate amendments.

Unconscious Man
Not DiUer CriUey
Naval Hospital Seeks
Identity of Patient
From Alexandria.

Authorities at Naval Hospital con-
tinued their efforts today to identify
a man brought there in an uncon-
scious condition under the mistaken
assumption that he was the noted
diver, Frank william Crilley. Navy
hngerprint records established the fact
that the patient is not Crilley, now
on the retired list as an ensign, and
living at Verona, N. j.
The unidentified man, suffering
from q blood clot, was brought to the
Naval Hospital yesterday from a hos
pital in Alexandria, Va, where au-
thorities believed he was Crilley.
J.H. Taylor, identification expert OF
the Navy, and other Navy officials
today were comforting with the De-
partment of Justice in an effort to
identify the patient.
Attaches at the Alexandria hos
pital said the patient told them he
worked on Boulder Dam and the new
bridge being constructed in San Fran
cisco Harbor at the Golden Gate
Representative Greenway of Arizona
has been notified, on the theory that
the man is one of her constituents
as he asked hospital attaches, before
lapsing into Inconsistencies, to put
him in touch with the Congress
woman from Nevada" That State has
no woman Representative and officials
have contacted Mrs. Greenway.

CONCERT MARRIED
BY ANTENA1 CRY
Girl Shouting "DoWn With
Fascism," Escorted From
Central High Scene.

Although Director Hans Kinder OF
the National Symphony Orchestra had
announced previously that the new
Nazi anthem of Germany was not to
be played, a supposedly Communist
sympathizer arose to her feet during
the last minutes of the student con-
cert at Central High School today and
shouted-"Down with FaSciSm, do not
play the German anthem. it means
terror and starvation!"
The girl, believed to be about 20
and so lame she has to carry a cane,
was escorted from the hall by officers
from the second precinct and mem
Der of the crime prevention squad.
She declined to give her name.
A few minutes later, boy arose in
the gallery and protested against any
inclusion of Nazi music in the pro-
gram. He also was led out by officers
Because of controversy which had
arisen in several directions over the
selection of a German national
anthem DR.. Kinder finally had de-
cided to play Deutschland uber
Allies" The German embassy is said
to have requested that the Horst
Vessel" the Nazi anthem, be played.
A protest against inclusion of the
Nazi anthem was made by representa-
tives of the Young Communist League,
who attempted to distribute pam
phlets denouncing it. Police, however,
stopped the distribution and con-
fiscated the pamphlets.

DELAY IN SECURITY

Several Weeks to Be Re.
quired for Action Despite
Early Optimism.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The administration plan to get its
social security program on the statute
books in time for action by State Leg
islatures was threatened today by de-
lay in Congress.
Leaders in charge of the Wagner
Lewis measure conceded as the first
weeks hearings drew to a close that
their original hopes for enactment
within two or three weeks were rather
optimistic.
Several weeks Of hearings faced the
legislation at both ends of the Capt.

to begin serious work on their reports.
Long floor debates, in the Senate if
not In the House, were considered un-
avoidable.

BILL WOULD CHANGE
D. C. BANKING LAW
King Offers Measure to Give Old
Stockholders Standing
of New.

Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee introduced bill yes
terday to make one change in the Dis
trict banking law of March 4, 1888, to
eliminate the double liability require
ment for old stockholders in a few
local banks.
Congress last year amended the
District law to remove the double liza
bility clause from bank stock issued
thereafter. This was done to con-
form with action which Congress al
ready had taken regarding new stock
In national banks.
There remained, however, a clause
continuing this liability on those who
owned stock on March 4, 1888, in
local banks organized under State
laws which did not have double liza
bility as a charter provision. There
are three banks in the District to
which this section of the law applied,
namely, the Bank of Commerce and
Savings, the McLachlen Banking Cor
poration and the City Bank
The only purpose OF the bill is to ex-
tend to these old stockholders the
same action already taken for new
stockholders. 1t was pointed out that
the banks to which the amendment
would apply have their deposits in
sured by the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation, for which the
stockholders are paying the premiums.

PAIR IS REPORTED
AT MURDER SCENE
Truck Driver Names One of
Two Seen Walking Toward
Car Barn.

A truck drivers story which def
nitely places two colored men in front
of the Chevy Chase Lake car barn at
the time of the $1,000 hold-up and
dual murder of two Capital Transit
Co. employees sent police on vigorous
hunt today for the latest suspects in
the crime.
An intensive search extending into
every section of the District and its
environs is being made in an effort to
apprehend the duo. the identity of
one of whom is known.
A colored truck driver returning
from an interstate haul voluntarily
told authorities late yesterday that he
was passing the car barn about S
o'clock Monday morning and saw two
colored men get out of dark sedan
parked in front of the Capital Transit
Co.'S Office.
Walked to Office.
The men, he declared, walked toward
the Office where the hold-up occurred
and he recognized one of the men in
the light of an electric lamp burning
on the porch of the car barn office.
He said he was certain of one of the
mems identity because he had worked
with him some time ago.
1t was explained by police that the
truck driver thought nothing of the
incident at the time, but Immediately
volunteered the information to au-
thoritieS when he returned from q
trip to Pennsylvania yesterday and
learned of the hold-up in which
James Mitchell and Emory Smith
were slain.
Abandon Other Angles.
Police abandoned other angles of
their inquiry and concentrated upon
the search for the two colored men.
The information was the first def
mite word received by police on any
one being seen in the vicinity of the
car barn Office about the time the
murder and hold-up were committed.
Authorities dispelled the belief that
Daniel E. Snyder, who was arrested
in Washington yesterday in connec-
ton with series of Baltimore hold
ups, might have had anything to do
with the Chevy Chase Lake case.
Know Where Me Was.
It was said by detectives that they
know definitely where Snyder was at
the time the hold-up and murders
occurred at the car barn and that
he had no connection with the Mont
gomery County case.
Snyder was arrested in Pennsyl-
vania avenue boarding house yester-
day and with two men under arrest
in Baltimore, Edward Makowsky and
Michael Mcneil, will be questioned
in connection with a series of II Bal
timore robberies which netted bandits
approximately $4,000.

PLANNING GROUP
STUDIES CHANGES
At DUPONT CIRCLE.
Plan Considered Involves
Widening of Avenues and
Car Track Change.
POTOMAC PARK DYKE
PROJECT is APPROVED
Calls for Three-Foot Wall as
Foundation for Sand Bags
to Prevent Floods.

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, winding up
three-day session, focused attention
today upon the proposed widening of
the avenues around Dupont Circle as
an aid to traffic and the possible shift
ing of the double track on the west
side of the circle.
Plans were discussed by Capt. H. C.
Whitehurst, District highway engineer,
and John Nolen, jr.. the commissions
director of planning. Ways and means
for improving the traffic situation at
Dupont Circle, long a vexing problem
because street cars travel in both di-
rections on the west side, with no
tracks on the east side, formed the
basis of discussion Details of the
street widening plans were not made
public
Fort Drive Considered.
The commission also considered to-
day the improvement of Fort drive, a
projected motor highway to link the
series of Civil War forts forming the
defenses of Washington.
The commission listened yesterday
to proposal by Peoples Counsel Will
liam A. Roberts that parking garages
be constructed under downtown parks
The possibility of staggering Govern
ment employees hours to aid traffic
was discussed by Nolen in presenting
the result of traffic survey conducted
recently among Government workers
and others. The commission declined
to take a stand on this problem.
Charles Herrick, city planner, analyzed
the results of the traffic survey.
The commission went on record as
favoring construction of a permanent
3-foot dyke at the rear of the Navy
and Munitions Buildings, running
from the Lincoln Memorial to the ele-
waited area on which the Washington
Monument stands. In case of serious
flood. the commission held, sandbags
could be placed on this permanent
dyke to maximum height of 19 feet
and the road openings could be closed
with sandbags. The projected dyke
would run along the wire fence at the
rear of the Navy and Munitions
Buildings.
Nine-fOOt Dyke Rejected.
In taking this stand the commission
turned down plan submitted by the
United States Engineer Office that a
dyke be constructed westward in the
line of independence avenue some
feet in height. The commission con-
tended this would interfere with the
present highway, create drainage prob
lens, spoil the appearance of the park
and destroy trees.
The commission also opposed a
plan by C. Marshall Finnan, superin-
tendent Of the National Capital Parks,
that a dyke could be thrown up when
flood warnings were given from up the
Potomac Valley, and a food-control
organization be kept on hand to pile
up sandbags and throw up a protect
ing embankment The commission
felt the permanent 3-foot dyke should
be constructed as a foundation for the
sandbags.
No cost plans have yet been worked
out, Thomas S. Settle, the commits
sion's secretary. said today. The
width of the 3-foot high dyke pro-
posed by the commission has not been
determined, but as far as possible this
will be made to fit in with the park
scheme, officials asserted.
