Two BADLY INJURED
IN TRAFFIC CRASHES
Child and Man, II, Suffer Con.
cussions in Collision-Two
Others Are Hurt.

Serious injuries were suffered yester-
day by two persons ir traffic accidents.
Two others escaped serious hurts in an
automobile crash.
Dorothy Wolfe, 6, Of 3285 M street,
and Max Lizenback. II, of 612 Ken
nedy street, were most seriously hurt.
The child was treated at Georgetown

termine the full extent of his injuries.

10-CENT bUSFARE
PROTEST STUDIED
Roberts Petition, Holding
Takoma-D. c. Express
Charge Is Illegal, Up.

The Public Utilities Commission TO-
day began a scrutiny of a petition by
PEOPLES Counsel William A. Roberts
protesting against charge Of a 10
cent cash fare on the rush-period
express bus service to be established
from Takoma to the downtown Sec
ton via Thirteenth street.
Riley E. Elgen, commission chair
man. said it was unlikely action would
be taken on the petition until next
week.
Members of the commission already
have upheld their decision fixing the
fare on the express bus line at 10 cents
cash or presentation Of a SIPS weekly
pass. They argue that the line will
provide special service and cite the
fact other bus lines have q 10-cent
cash fare.
Commission officials today calcu-
lated that transportation on the pres
ent street car service from the Takoma
area to downtown Washington re-
ouires from 43 to 46 minutes. 1t was
figured the time Of travel on the
express bus line would amount to
about 40 minutes. This was seen as
q reason for permitting 10-cent fare.
In his petition yesterday the peo-
pies counsel contended the decision
for q 1o-cent cash fare was illegal
because 1t constituted an increase IN
transportation charges over the exist
ing fares for residents Of the area
and an increase that was fixed with
out public hearing and notice. Rob-
erts argued that the bus service
would not be preferred or superior
service and insisted there was no
Justification for any charge higher
than the regular street car fare.

day is Menuhin's general rule, and
that is occasionally broken. There
is far too much emphasis on the
mere physical exercise" he said. He
quite agreed with Egon Petri's die
tum at his master lecture the other
day, that to understand the music
and have the control of ones fingers
is all that is necessary.
"Paderewski must have been man
Of enormous energy, to have practiced
as he did for more than u hours a
day. To practice sincerely, knowing
that I am interpreting the music
rightly, for two and half hours is
all that I can manage. If I did more,
it would be done mechanically" he
said. In other words, he puts as
much into his practicing as into his
public appearances.
Reads Geology Text Book.
AT present he is reading a text book
of geology. One of his most recent
enthusiasms is Lewis Mumford's new
book, Technics and Civilization" "
Among his favorite novels. the first
that came to his mind was Alphonse
Daudet's lie Petit Chose" and in
German his favorite author is Schiller.
His comment on the most recent
episode that has set the music world
by the ears, /. e., Kreislers acknowl-
edgement of parentage to several
works Of the "old masters" ranks with
the most opposite. IF l." said Menu
hin, had written such beautiful COM
positions, should certainly not have
hesitated to say So"
The conference closed with the
young man and his father pondering
the respective merits of Dupont circle,
Farragut and Lafayette squares.

DR.. Ellen Potter Urges Pro-
vision for Transients
and Non. Residents.
DECLARES LARGE GROUP
WILL BE LEFT IN NEED
Respective Roles of Federal,
State and Local Governments
Are Debated.

Plunging themselves anew into con-
troversy over proposed social security
legislation, delegates to the conven-
ton of the American Association of
Social Workers at the Hotel May
flower this morning debated further
the advisability of a more inclusive
program than that proposed by the
administration.
DR.. Ellen C. Potter of New Jersey,
defending the pioneering spirit
which makes wanderers" argued Wig
orously in favor of including tram
sients and non-residents within pro-
visions Of the legislation. Others
opposed the suggestion on the grounds
that too broad inclusions would
jeopardize success of the measure.
Floating Groups Large.
"All the titles listed under the
social security bill requires settlement
or re-eStablished residence minima in
the States for which the Federal
grants in aid are to apply" said DIR.
Potter. Although the settlement pro-
visions are generally more liberal than
similar requirements in the States
there is still no provision for the sub
stantial group Of persons now under
the care Of the Transient Division Of
the F. E. r. A. because they are not
eligible for relief from the local gov
ernmental units on the grounds of lack
Of legal settlement.
THE serious problem Of non-resi-
dents has never been met by the
States. Pending adjustment OF the
local laws Of settlement there seems
no alternative but to expect Federal
provision for the persons who have
fallen afoul Of this confusion and
can lodge no claim for such care
with any local governmental unit.
These people will be entirely neg
lected il they are thrown back on the
mercy Of the States as they we're in
the period preceding the Inaugural
ton of the Federal program for tran
sients."
Division of Work Debated.
Warm discussion also was evoked
in considering the part which Fed
eral, State and local governments
should play in the Nationwide relief
program. Edith Abbott led this forum,
pointing TO the breakdown Of many
State and local relief systems because
Of obsolete and inadequate laws and
straitened financial circumstances.
Professional personnel and employ
ment practices in social work was to
be discussed at sessions this afternoon.

Youthful ''Miracle" of Violin
Arriues, Praising Roosevelt

Y yEHUDI MENUHIN, the cele-
" brated l8-year-old violinist,
who is to play tomorrow
L afternoon at Constitution
Hall. arrived in Washington
yesterday, expressing enthusiastic ad-
miration Of President Roosevelt and
most Of his works. He believes liberty
is again beginning to stir in this home
Of the free.
America has been the most regi-
mented country in the world" ne said
with conviction. He particularly de-
plored the habit of living punched up
with hundreds of others in apart
ments and tenements.
If people live too much together
they lose their individuality" he
explained.
II he hates anything, it Is probably
the unnecessary. He has an abhor-
renee of subways, saying. people
shouldn't build such large cities, then
they wouldn't need subways."
French Dictatorship Doubted.
Menuhin, devoted to the French,
whom he thinks the most individual
istic and independent people in The
world. doesn't believe that they will
ever have dictator.
Yehudi Menuhin has been praised
as "a musical miracle" by II Mes
sagero, Rome: 1.-The outstanding master
violinist of our entire world" by Cor
riera della Sera. Milan; more than
the rival of Paganini" by La Stampa,
Turin; perfection" by the London
Times, yet he is completely unassum-
ing, frank and Of extremely varied in
tellectual interests.
AS such he showed himself at the
press chat yesterday in his apartment
at the Mayflower. Talk turned mainly
on geology. sociology, the New Deal,
dictators and musicians. The only
uncomfortable moments occurred
when mention was made Of that great
violinist, Yehudi Menuhin. Then his
eyes lowered, he flushed slightly, his
long strong fingers trilled and COM
mitted exercises in thirds on the arm
of his chair. Subjected to so much
undiscriminating adulatton, his honest
mind seemed to go to the opposite ex-
treme Of self-deprecation.
THE only trouble with the concert
in Pittsburgh last night was that ]
was it." he remarked He has learned
that humor is a great help in trying
circumstances.
Very Musical Background.
Born January %, 1917, in New York
he has attended concerts since the
age of nine months, fiddled for Is
years and given concerts for II. He
did not have to struggle against an
unsympathetic environment, his back
ground being very musical, and he
was kept from feeling too conspicuous
by being rapidly Joined by two more
fine musical talents, his younger
sisters. Since the age of 10 he has
rapidly become the especial friend
on equal terms of such musicians as
Toscanini and Koussevitsky, to men
ton only two.

LIQUOR PRODUCTION
CURB IS OPPOSED
DR.. Doran Informs Hearing
Drinking Habits of People
Not Yet Determined.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Unanimous opposition to the Fed
eral Alcohol Control Administration
plan to limit and allocate production,
cease issuing new permits or revoke
inactive permits for liquor rectifiers
was expressed yesterday at hearing
by the administration.
1.-THE drinking habits of the Ameri-
can people are not yet determined" )"
said DR.. j. M. Doran, supervisor of the
Distiller Code Authority. He said it
would be folly" to attempt to limit
production or curtail expansion in the
rectifying industry.
This view was expressed after the
administration offered data that pro-
duction of liquor this year would ex-
ceed the maximum demand by more
than two to one. Administrator
Joseph H. Choate. jr., estimated con-
sumption at 141,411,712 gallons and
potential production at 349,053,969
gallons.
DR.. Doran questioned the correct
ness of these estimates.
Most Of the $50 representatives OF
distillers and rectifiers said more at
tention should be devoted to wiping
out bootleg competition.
