THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY CONG. JOHN PAUL KvALE

The Frazier BILL of paramount in
terest to representatives from rural
areas who have been assisting Rep.
Lemke of North Dakota in his fight
to bring the measure to the floor,
may yet reach the voting stage in the
House. Injection of the tax issue,
with the virtual certainty that it will
prolong the session by several weeks.
is the reason.
For many weeks, name by name. the
petition to discharge the committee
on rules has been climbing toward
the necessary number of names. In
the last few days, that list of names
has grown more rapidly. 1t is one
of the chief reasons by the way, for the
desire of the administration to close
this session and get Congress out of
the city. Just yesterday, when the
number was within a half dozen of
the required number, leaders got
busy and forced several, nine to be
exact, to withdraw their names from
the petition. Proponents OF the bill
are therefore rebuilding their efforts
to get signatures, and there is still
chance that they can force the
stubborn Rules committee to release
the bill to the House for a vote.
Once successful in that effort, House
passage is regarded a certainty.
A rather amusing side-play is the
fact that some reactionary Republic
can members from eastern states.
whose entire record is against the
agricultural relief" sort of legisla-
ton, are signing the petition for po-
litical reasons, in order to embarrass
the administration. Others are sign
ing the bill in the belief that the
late stage of the session will forbid
any favorable result even if the goal
is reached, and they hope to gain the
advantage of the supposed helpful ges-
ture without actually so doing. They
forget that the petition will stand
through the adjournment period and
that at the next session Lemke and
his assistants can pick up the fight
where it is left off this session.

z BOYS RESCUED
FROM ICE ;

Two boys had an unexpected
taste of adventure not unmixed
with danger late today, when the
ice on which they were playing,
in the Chesapeake and Ohio Ca
nal, below Key Bridge, broke
loose from the shore and started
drifting slowly downstream.
Yelling Justify, the boys at
tracted the attention of paSsersby.
The Fire Department rescue squad
was called, and after they had
drifted a distance of a block or
more a ladder was put out from
shore to the ice floe, bringing
them safely to shore.
They were rushed to George
town Hospital, where they got
over their fright and seemed none
the worse for their experience.
They gave their names as
Charles Burke, Is, and John
Mock. 13, both of the 1900 block

Invariably interesting is the
question: what becomes Of
child prodigies?"
One of them, and her fate, has
been discovered at the Library of
Congress in the person of brown
haired, brown-eyed Mary Van
Casteel, of the Catalog Division.
After no more preparation
than tutoring by members of her
family, Miss VanCasteel entered
Radcliffe at the age of 13, the
youngest girl ever to do so.
Now she's translator for the
library, engaged in the highly
difficult and intellectual pastime
of translating various books on
economics and political science
from the German into English.
Miss VanCasteel is of Dutch
ancestry. Her prime recreation is
tending her little garden, where
she raises roses, irises and lilieS-of-
the-valley. The garden is behind
one of those 100-year-old, pictur-
esque houses in Georgetown, a
community the former prodigy
says she loves because it's so "ma-
ture."

STUDIES
REA[TYB|LL

Substantial protection would
be given the residents Of the Dis
trict of Columbia from fraudulent
and dishonest practices in the real
estate business under the pro-
visions of a bill which is before
the House today.
The measure, which received
unanimous approval of the Senate
yesterday. came about as the re-
suit of the findings of a Senate
District subcommittee which, dur
ing the seventy-first Congress.
conducted an exhaustive inveSti-
CATION of the real estate, mort
gage and securities situations in
this city.
It was found, according to spon'
sors of the present legislation, that
"the lack of regulatory laws gov
erning real estate brokers and
statesmen in the District, rendered
the public practically helpleses to
obtain adequate redress against
fraud and Misrepresentation in
real estate transactions"
It is recognized, the sponsors
say, that the possibilities for fraud
and other misconduct in the sale
and management of real estate
in the District are now almost un
limited.

100 FLEE FIRE
IN APARTMENT

Fifty families fled a four-alarm
fire at the August Apartments,
210O block of o st. N. w., early
today, the second spectacular
apartment house fire here in
three days.
One man was seriously injured
when he leaped from the fourth
floor. He is Emmett M. Rodgers,
in whose apartment Tire Marshal
Calvin LAUDER believes the fire
started from cigarette butt. Mr..
Rodgers is in Emergency Hospital
suffering a fractured pelviS and
internal injuries.
Many of the $50 residents of
the building probably owe their
escape to Policeman w. E. Bren-
nan, of the Third precinct. He
saw the flames and dashed in to
ring the apartment fire alarm be-
fore calling the Fire Department.
All were forced to flee in scanty
night clothing. Many were shell
tered in nearby homes.
Damage, which firemen sue
ceeded in confining to the top
floor, was estimated at $4,000 by
Mrs. Martha Mallon, resident
manager.
William M. Whalen, who shared
the apartment with the injured
man, said when he became aware
of the blaze he awakened Mr..
Rodgers, who, in his excitement,
jumped through the window.
The fire, which brought 35
pieces of apparatus, was only a
few blocks from the Decatur
Apartments where 200 persons
were forced to flee for their lives
Sunday night.

OFFICIAL ORDER
FREES 1900
TRANS|ENTS
500 Others Remain Confined
To Eight Lodges Where
Disease Is Prevalent

District health officials today
ordered the release of more than
1900 transients who have been
held in quarantine since Febru.
ary 6, because of the fear that
reported cases of spinal meningitis
might increase to epidemic pro-
portions.
The Health Department lifted
the quarantine on all Transient
Bureau lodges in which no cases
of the disease have been reported.
Approximately 500 transients
are still under quarantine in eight
lodges where spinal meningitis
cases have been reported.
With the announcement of the
lifting of the quarantine, DR.. Ed
ward J. Schwartz, District Health
Officer stated:
"If, however, any epidemic
meningitis cases should develop
in any of the lodges today re"
leased from quarantine, it will
Immediately be reimpOsed by
the District Health Depart
ment."
Work by the transients at the
woodward will be resumed tomor-
row. The lodges in which the
quarantine was lifted are:

OK .'SRECKLESS
DRIVING BILL
Drastic Penalties Provided
In Measure Reported
BY House Committee

While several persons protested
the secret proceedings, the House
District Committee today reported
favorably on a bill which provides
drastic punishment for reckless
automobile drivers.
The bill provides suspension OF
an automobile operators permit
in any of the following three
cases: ID drunken driving; (2)
leaving after colliding; 90 failure
to pay a judgment asserted for
negligence.
Contrary to public opinion, the
bill does not make automobile liza
bility insurance mandatory 1t
provides that drivers whose Ii
censes have been suspended must
take out insurance policies, post
bond or put up cash collateral
if they wish to regain their per-
mits.
Jack Dalton, an official of the
Blue Light Taxicab Company, de-
clared the committee railroadeo
the bill without hearinC oppon-
entS.
Members of the committee ex.
planned that when bills are favor
ably reported by a subcommittee
the final report on the bill is made
at a closed session. Other per.
sons crowded the corridors outside
the District Committe room and
declared they were not given a
chance to express their views.
The House District Committee
also reported favorably on bill
which changes the name of Lefler
Place to Second Place.

P. j. c. ORDERS
. TAKOMA CARS
REROUTED
Faster Service Planned for
Outlying Area; Kennedy
Street Line Abandoned

Additional steps to provide
faster street car service from the
outlying section of north Wash
ington to the down town area
were taken by the Public Utilities
Commission today in beginning a
study of plans to reroute some
Of the street cars going south on
Georsia Avenue down Eleventh
Street by way of New Hampshire
Avenue.
An order issued by the commits
sion yesterday provided for the
abandonment of street car track
along Kennedy Street between
Georgia Avenue and Fourteenth
Street and the routing of cars
from the Takoma Park section
down Georgia Avenue.
1O-Cent Fare Ordered
This would increase the traffic
on Georgia Avenue and Seventh
Streets, and the further rerouting
plan is intended to relieve this
condition.
In conjunction with the street
car rerouting, the PUG ordered
express bus service from the Ia
koma Park section to Thirteenth
and Madison Street and down
Thirteenth Street to Pennsylvania
Avenue. A 10cent bus fare was
ordered on this line.
Peoples Counsel William A. Rob-
erts today voiced objection to this
fare, stating that street car tokens
should be accepted as fare on the
line.
The PUG also ordered that the
Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany extend it's bus line from
Sherman Circle to serve residents
of the Chillum Heights areas.
Reversal Of Rule
In issuing the order the COM
mission stated:
"The commission recognizes
the desirability of extending the
operations of Capital Transit
Company wherever practicable,
primarily because of the greater
service facilities offered by the
street car and bus operations
of that company through the
use of the pass system and free
dom of transfer"
The extension of the line by
the Rapid Transit Company is a
reversal Of the general practice
of the commission to develop the
Capital Transit Company system.
The Commission in its order,
however, justifies it's action with
the statement that residents OF
the area to be served prefer the
Rapid Transit Company service.
Objection Voiced
Chief Engineer of the Commits
sion Fred A. Sager voiced his OBJ
lection to the extension of the
line by the Rapid Transit Com
pany. He stated:
This order, in my opinion,
40 ':t in harmony with the de-
velOpment Of q unified opera
tiOn of q transit system, at
highest economy and with city
wide service"

Additional Authority Sought

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Recom-
rendations for new legislation CIV
Ing the Federal Trade Commission
additional authority to regulate fair
trade practices were emphasized by
that body today when it made pub
lie it's annual report to Congress.
The report, covering the multi
fold activities of the commission
during the past year, recommended
that new legislation be enacted
strengthening both the basic Fed
eral Trade Commission act and the
Clayton Act.
The suggested laws would give the
commission regulatory powers not
only in preventing unfair CONNER
cial practices, but also in stopping
unfair or deceptive acts and prac-
tees which might not necessarily
harm competitor, but which are
designed to mislead the buying pub
lie
The Clayton Act would be clari-
fed, in the commissions recon-
mendations are carried out, not
only with respect to price discrimi-
nations, but also with respect to
purchase of capital stock of COM
peting corporations.

An important interpretive article
on the war situation by William
Philip Simms is on Page Three.

The view is taken that Premier
Benito Mussolini would not be able
long to combat such penalties as an
embargo on oil, coal, steel and iron
and that despite threats, he is likely
to think long before adopting war;
like measures involving him not
only with Britain but with all
League nations
Hence there is some disposition to
believe that Mussolini may yet, as
1t is put here, listen to reason be-
cause nobody wants a war with
Italy.
1t is emphasized here that re-
CARELESS of anything Mussolini may
threaten or essay the British gov
eminent is unlikely to bulge an inch
from its present attitude. With the
United States inclined to cooperate
in an oil embargo, it is thought that
the embargo must be effective. Also
it is felt that Premier Pierre Laval
of France is determined to stand by
Britain in any emergency.
