GETS UNDER WAY
Data on Seven Major Lines

ing Gathered.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Census Bureau today started
cataloguing by name and age the per-
sons who will be beneficiaries of the
social security act, and compiling data
on seven major lines of American
business.
About $4,000 persons ultimately
will be engaged in this work Gen
orally, they will come from relief rolls
The work will be centered in Philadel-
phia and ST. Louis, and will not neces-
state an expansion Of the bureau
locally.
Headquarters Designated.
The old-age census will be for both
State and Federal use in administer
ing the social security act, while the
business census will complete data
showing conditions before the depres-
sion and up to recent months.
Tle business census will have head
quarters in Philadelphia and will en-
ploy most of the $4,000 now on relief
there. The old age data will be COM
piled in st. Louis from 1900 census
records. requiring a staff Of but $500.
The business census will take s8,000.-
900 Of the $l0,ooo000 allotted for the
work-relief projects.
The business census will gather
basic information on the number of
operating units. employment, pay rolls,
receipts and other pertinent data in
wholesale trade, retail trade. business
services, real estate, finance. profess
sional and transportation and COM
munication.
Enumerators will begin next jan
uary 2 in every State, and will COM
plete their work in about four months.
The Philadelphia staff will be small
at first, but will be increased as the
work requires. Two years will be re-
quired to tabulate and print the ma
terial.
The age census in ST. Louis will
draw some 80 per cent of the staff of
2,5000 from white-collar relief rolls.
They will make a card index Of all
family groups appearing in the 1900
census, and an additional card will
be filled out for each member Of
family. The 1900 census was chosen
because it listed the ages Of all in
dividuals then living in the United
States, and thus will show the names
of practically all persons now alive
who are old enough to be eligible for
pension relief
Plans had been laid for a third
census project, to take in population,
occupation and youth, which was to
be directed from Chicago, but the
President did not approve this.

x-RAY TO Determine
BASE BALL INJURY
Joseph F. Parkhill, Catholic q.
Student, May Have Only Frac.
tured Cheek Bone.

x-rays were to be taken today to
determine the extent Of injuries
suffered by Joseph F. Parkhill, 20
year-old Catholic University student
and son of a Washington contractor,
when struck by a base ball during a
game at Cabin John, Md, yesterday
afternoon.
It was said at Georgetown Univer-
sity Hospital that the youth, son Of
Joseph L. Parkhill, head of the Park
hill Construction Co., suffered either
a fracture near the base Of the skull
or a broken cheek bone.
Physicians said they were inclined
to believe, however, that Parkhill's
injury would prove to be nothing more
serious than a fractured cheek bone.
The youth, playing with the Cabin
John Fire Department, was batting
when ball pitched by Edward Helm
of the Senate Giants, struck him. He
was taken to the hospital by Mont

George o. Hewitt. Roslyn. Va, man,
today was sentenced by Federal Judge
w. Calvin Chestnut to serve 10 years
in Federal penitentiary on a charge
of kidnapping. 1t was the first passed
in Maryland under the "Lindbergh
law"

etery laborer, last July %. District

frauded King Of $4,000 by imperson-
ating Government officer.
Judge Chesnut said he felt Wood

BOUNDARYD|SPUTE
IS NEARING END
Pending Agreement Is Re.
ported in Which Properties
Would Be EXCHANGED.

Prospects Of an early end OF the
long hearings in the District of Co.
lumbia Virginia boundary controversy,
through an agreement between the
Government and opposing forces,
strengthened today as Federal coun-
sci began closing arguments in the
hotly contested battle.
Members of the commission today
manifested interest in reliable reports
of an impending agreement under
which the United States and owners
of the Washington Hoover Airport
would exchange certain properties
near the south terminus Of Highway
Bridge.
Chairman Charles H. Brough Of
the commission indicated such an ex-
change, coupled with prior stipula-
tions by the contestants regarding the
Alexandria water front rights, prob
ably would relieve the commission of
fixing the route of the boundary line
on the Virginia shore.
Mrs. Rebekah Greathouse. repre-
senting private owners of property in
Rosslyn, told the commission today
her clients wished to be included in
the water front stipulations incor-
porated in the Alexandria agreement,
under which the Government extended
docking privileges below the high
water mark.
Henry H. Classic, a special assistant
to the Attorney General, launched
final arguments for the Government
this morning by citing Supreme Court
and other decisions holding that the
boundary line between the District
and Virginia is the high-water mark
on the Virginia shore of the Potomac
River. He is expected to conclude
his oral presentation tomorrow, where
upon the commission will begin
formulation Of its findings.
Classic pointed out that the
Supreme Court on several occasions
has declared that the charter by
which King Charles II. granted to
Lord Baltimore the Province of Mary
land in 1882 fixed the boundary line
at the high water mark on the Vir-
ginia shore
Decisions were cited to show that
the subsequent grant by King James
II, to Lord Culpeper Of all the prop
erty in Virginia's Eastern Neck," ="
from the Potomac to the Patuxent
Rivers, did not nullify the original
Baltimore charter nor change the
boundary line. Counsel for Virginia
have cited the Culpeper grant in sup
port of their contention that Virginia
obtained rights to the river through
the gift to Lord Culpeper and that
the grant cancelled Marylands rights
to the high water boundary.
BY defending the high water line,
the Federal Government has claimed
ownership Of about half Of the airport
property, which once was part OF
Alexanders Island and contiguous
swamps.

District Welfare officials today we're

ing" in connection with the shut
down on new transient cases and the
ending of supplementary relief for
persons transferred from emergency
relief to the new works program.
There no doubt will be suffering
for some as a result of the changes
in the Federal program" one welfare
leader declared. But there is nothing
we can do at the moment"
No more new transient cases can
be placed on the District rolls after
Thursday midnight. under orders is
sued by Aubrey Williams, assistant
administrator of the Emergency Re-
lief Administration. The suggestion
has been made that needy transients
would be worked into the new pro-

ministration.
Eligibility Limited.
Under existing orders, only those
who were on the District relief list
May Is, are eligible for the new works
program. Others added later are TO
be second consideration. From now
on, also, no one will be considered for
relief until he has registered with the
Public Employment Center here.
About 5000 persons formerly on
the Emergency Relief program have
been given steady jobs under the new
works program. They may receive
from $45 to $79 a month, these being
the established scales for this region
for various grades from the unskil.ed
lsborer TO the professional and skilled
workers.
Some complaints already have been
received that these scales are not
sufficient to care for the larger fami-
lies. One report is Of a family of 10,
which formerly received a total of
s27.50 week, and now receives $45
month.
Work Held Objective.
The Federal rules forbid giving sup
Elementary relief, and there has been
the implication" that the District
should not give 1t out of its own
funds, one informed leader said. And
the District has no more than is es-
sential to give relief to the unemploy-
ables." he added.
The idea back Of 1t all, he added, is
that those on relief will make strenu-
Gus efforts to find employment or the
needed additional funds from private
employment.
Directors Of the Council of Social
Agencies are scheduled to meet at
1890 pm. tomorrow, at the Y NJ. c.
A. to consider facts as to transients
submitted by committee. One prin-
cipal problem will be what to do about
the 100 additional transients who have
