slider Surprise Appointees

and Borah, Republican, of Idaho were
named to a special Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee today to consider the

other local judicial nominations an
nounced at the White House yester-
day:
Judge Nathan Cayton and Judge
George C. Aukam. both reappointed
to the Municipal Court, and Ellen K.
Raedy, named to succeed Judge Mary
O'Toole in the Municipal Court.
King was undecided today when the
two Senators would meet.
The appointment Of Casey evoked
considerable surprise in the District.
Given has served in Police Court for
~ years, first as clerk, then as assist
ant United States attorney and. finally
as judge. He was appointed to this
post by the late President Coolidge in
1928.

nicipal Court, while two other judges
in the latter court were reappointed-
George C. Aukum and Nathan Cayton.
Both Aukum and Cayton have been
classed as Republicans. On the other
hand, Judge Given is not allied with
either party, having served under
Democratic and Republican admins
trations alike during his AZ years in

ALLEN OPPOSES
REGULAR CRIME
COMMISSION HERE
More Enforcement and
Fewer Committees Are
Needed, He Says.
COMMISSIONERS ARE
TO TAKE ACTION SOON
Hazen Fears Permanent Body
Would Harass Government
Units in Their Duty.

Commissioner Allen abandoned self
imposed reticence today and declared
definitely he was opposed to estab-
lishment of a permanent commission
to investigate crime conditions and
enforcement, as suggested in different
forms by House Committee and a
group of District officials.
What we need" declared Allen. "is
more enforcement and fewer commit
tees"
The question is scheduled for action
by the Board of Commissioners
shortly. Corporation Counsel Pretty
man, Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner Howard F. Clark and George
w. Offutt, head Of the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board last week pro-
posed creation of permanent Citi-
zens' Advisry Committee on Crime,
among a long list of other proposals
COR better law enforcement.
Commission Favored.
Prior to that the report of the
House Crime Investigating Committee
in its review of the investigation of
crime and enforcement. proposed Gre
alton of an official crime investigating
commission, to be set up by act of
Congress
Commissioner Hazen. who super
vises the Police Department, has
voiced doubt as to the benefits of a
citizens advisory committee, raising
hn IF Rrapriyr IL oIe
questioned whether such body would
not unduly "harass" Government
units just to show it was active
Hazen, however, has not finally COM
mitted himself
Il would rather see a crook ar
rested than to appoint IS committees,
said Allen. why is a special COM
mittee needed. anyway We have a
half million residents here. each OF
whom is a potential investigator. We
will be glad to hear their complaints
or reports at any time. Then there
are committees in the various civic
organizations.
More Policemen Desired.
Employment of more policemen
would help greatly but 1 can see nc
need for adding to the machinery OF
checkers on crime or law enforcement
Let's have more stern enforcement, not
more committees"
Engineer Commissioner Dan I. Sui
tan, the third member of the Board Of
Commissioners, has voiced no position
on the proposals.

FOR OPERATORS MONDAY
Speaker for Citizens Advocates
Keeping Present Rates,
With 70-Cent Top.

Night conferences will be held by
members of The Public Utilities Com
mission the remainder of this week to
draw up a uniform schedule of taxi
cab rates and zone boundaries.
Three days of hearings on the con-
fused problem ended shortly after noon
today. following testimony of repre-
sentatives of citizens associations.
Chairman Riley Elgen and Vice
Chairman Richmond Keech stared at
a 1,000-page sheaf of recorded testi-
mony as they heard the final wit
neSseS.
1T will take some fast work to pub
lish this new rate by July l5," Keech
said. I'VE have an awful lot OF stuff
to pore over and we'll have to do more
than merely read it."
The uniform basis is supposed to 60
into effect Monday.
Present Rates Favored.
Armed with a mass of charts and
maps, Robert Ledger of 1926 Otis
street northeast. chairman of the Pub
lie Utilities Committee of the Rhode
Island Avenue Citizens Association,
advocated: &.
81. Retention of present lowest
rates, 20-30-50- -70-cent schedule, with
no rides within the District to cost
more than 70 cents.
%. Setting the southern boundary
of zone ! at Constitution avenue in
stead of Independence avenue and the
eastern boundary of zone l at North
Capitol street instead of Eighth street
northeast.
"3. Widening the western boundary
of zone to Thirty-seventh street
south from Wisconsin avenue. instead
of having it follow Wisconsin avenue
in its southwark twist and turn all
the way to the river.
a. Establishment of radial zone
lines at one mile distances with an
AIDED charge of 10 cents for crossing
each radial, on cab trips which do not
go outside of any one zone. The first
zone is exempted from this condition. -
Roberts Doubts Plan.
Would not those radial lines make
taxi riding very confusing PROPOSE
tion?" Peoples Counsel Roberts asked
Ledger.
Nothing could be more confusing
than the present situation, with every
cab charging exactly what it pleases, u
Ledger replied.
l.. A. Carruthers, president of the
Forest Hills Citizens Association, first
witness this morning, suggested re-
tention of the 20 cent minimum.
Il always make it point to talk
with the driver when I take a cab,
and they tell me for the most part
they can make q living and support
their wife and children on the 20
cent basis" Carruthers declared.
He urged a maximum fare of 20
cents for a l0-block or a one-mile
trip, even If a zone line is crossed
and an increased charge for additional
passengers.

Under Present Ruling.

husband or wife is employed in the
Government one must be dropped
when 1t is necessary to reduce the
force.
At present. two members Of a

ton today was promised by the
American Federtion of Government
Employees, which, along with other
workers groups. including the Ma
tional Federation Of Federal Employees,

M'SWA|N TOPRESS
FOR CLOSING ROAD
Special Rule for House Con.
sideration of Airport
Measure Sought.

Request for special rule for con-
sideration by the House of the Nc
Swain bill providing for immediate
closing of Military road across Wash
ington Airport probably will be made
of the House Rules Committee tomor-
row by Representative McSwain,
Democrat. of South Carolina, chair
man of the House Military Affairs
Committee and author of the measure.
McSwain said today he regards the
closing of Military road "as matter Of
the very highest urgency" He will ex-
plain to the Rules Committee that the
danger at the Military road crossing
has been very greatly increased lately
with the advent of new high-speed
planes and that the hazard is growing.
Smith in Opposition.
Hopes that the McSwain bill might
be called up this week and passed
under unanimous consent were blasted
when Representative Smith Of Virginia
notified McSwain that he would op-
pose the measure.
Judge Smith and officials Of Arling-
ton County are opposed to the Nc
Swain bill in its present form because
it provides for the immediate closing
of Military road without first provid-
ing for construction of substitute
road around the airport 1t is eX-
pected that the Virginian will seek to
have the bill amended on the floor to
provide for substitute road.
McSwain'S request for special rule,
however, would block any amendments
to the bill. Under the rules. measures
called up under suspension of the rules
are subject to limitation of debate and
are not open to amendment.
"Since Judge Smith has notified me
that he is opposed to the bill and will
object to its passage by unanimous
consent" McSwain said, Il am honor
bound not to call it up on the consent
calendar unless he is present to enter
his objection"
Fourth Department.
The chairman of the House Military
h1dAS SOlllullGlSC odlA a 4OuA IAA GU
eral department has entered the fight
for passage of the Military road closing
bill, the National Parks Service,
through Arno B. Cammerer. having
joined with the War. Commerce and
Post Office Departments in asking that
the measure be expedited.
Senator Sheppard, chairman Of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee,
said today his committee is awaiting
House action on the McSwain bill.
1T is expected that the McSwain
bill will come to vote in the House
soon." he explained, "and We will wait
for the House bill"
In view of the anticipated early ac-
ton on the House bill, he explained,
there is no need to introduce a separate
Senate bill for the same purpose.
