P POL|CE B | D v
DRAWSF|NE

AS a result of over-zealousness
in enforcing traffic regulations,
Private j. F. Hasty, Sixth Pre-
cinct, was found guilty 'in part''
by the Police Trial Board late yes
terday on charges Of conduct
prejudicial to the morale, good or
der and reputation of the police
force" and "wilful maltreatment
and use of unnecessary violence
in obtaining an arrest"
The board recommended that
Hasty be fined $50.
The charges followed Hasty's
serving of parking tickets on Har-
old Belgrad, storekeeper in the
400 block Kennedy St. N. w.
Hasty had given Belgrad a ticket
for parking his automobile in a
restricted area near his store. On
learning Belgrad had made it a
practice of parking there, Hasty
gave him another ticket for park
ing over 18 hours and insisted that
Belgrad deposit collateral at the
station house.
When Belgrad objected to leav-
ing the store unattended, Hasty
is reported to have struck the
storekeeper, knocking him against
a radiator which cut Belgrade's s
head severely.

Rem 7 CONTROL
LEGISLATION
SPEEDED
House and Senate Groups
Plan Meeting Tomorrow
To Map Joint Action

Enactment of rent control leg
islation for the District during
the present session of Congress
appeared highly likely today, as
joint meeting of the House and
Senate District Committees on
this question was slated for to-
morrow.
Chairman Mary T. Norton CD
of New Jersey, of the House COM
mittee, said today that in keep
ing with the instructions voted by
her committee last week she had
discussd with Senator William H.
King (DO, of Utah, chairman OF
the Senate District Committee,
the matter of holding the joint
meeting and that it was agreed
if tomorrow is acceptable to her
committee the session will be held
then. She will ask her committee
today to approve the date.
Representative Wright Patman
(DO, of Texas, and Henry Ellen
bogen CDO, of Pennsylvania, who
are sponsoring the local rent con-
troll proposals, asserted today they
are confident the House commit
tee will approve legislation to
carry out their purposes.
Patman Letters
Representative Patman last
week sent a letter to every mem"
Der of the House, pointing out that
numerous charges of exceedingly
high rents in the District have
been made and asking the views
of the members concerning a
local rent investigation. The re-
sponses all favored such a pro-
posal.
However, he has agreed to give
his support to the bill introduced
by Representative Ellenbogen,
which would freeze local rents at
their present rates and set up a
board to which either landlords or
tenants could present their de-
sires and arguments as to why
specific rents should be lowered
or increased, as the case may be.
There is a possible stumbling
block in the Senate in the attitude
of Senator King, chairman of the
Senate District Committee. The
Utah Senator contends that
the law of supply and demand is a
sufficient controlling factor; that
when rents become high here, the
builders erect new apartments un-
til finally there is an oversupply of
living quarters, and that then the
rents decrease again.

Mystery Phone Calls
Run Down at Last

Those mysterious teleph on e
calls "of the greatest Importance"
which have been flooding the
White House and members of
Congress now can be explained.
Public officials need not be
alarmed. There is no new men
ace to be run down. The ex-
planation lies in a new child
game known as 'telephomania, :"
invented and introduced for the
first time in Washington.
1t was no end embarrassing to
Senator Huey P. Long to receive
a call with an imperious voice
on the other end of the wire.
It might have been an irate con-
stituent, or again call from
high official circles. The sac
cording to Hoyle" regulations of
telephomania call for the follow
ing conversation:
''Is this Senator Long? Are
you sure? This is for his ear
alone"
When certain, or reasonably so,
that the Kingfish is listening, this
question is in order:
"HOw are you, Toots?"
Waiting for just a second to
hear the reaction, the child callers
hang up to avoid the calls being
traced. 1t seems that Senator
Long has little sympathy with the
funsters. The nearest thing to an
answer obtained from his office
is a non-committal "hrrmph."
Calling the White House, the
children adopt different tactics.

pOrtant that 1 speak to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Yes, can tell

POINT SITE
ACCEPTED
Smith Flags subcommittee
and Asserts Findings Not
Warranted by Facts

Despite a last-minute attack by
Representative Howard w. Smith
CD of Virginia the full House
District Committee today unani-
mously approved the report of the
airport subcommittee condemning
Gravelly Point and setting up a
commission to select a site for the
District.
Approval of this report carried
with it a unanimous favorable
report on the subcommittee's sub
stitute bill and killed the bill in
troduced by Representative Smith
which would have placed the air.
port at Gravelly Point.
Representative Smith appeared
before the committee in executive
session and launched a 45-minute
attack, declaring that the report
Of the subcommittee was not sub.
stantiated by the testimony at
the hearings.
Objections Listed
Gravelly Point was declared un-
suited in the conclusions of the
report on the grounds that it
could not be built in time; that
the cost figures were uncertain;
that the safety was not adequate
and that it would not make a
usable site.
In an attempt to refute these
arguments, Representative Smith
stated that through emergency
work the site could be put in use
in approximately one year and
under normal conditions in two
years. He pointed out that esti-
mates placed the cost of Gravelly
Point at $2,3OO,OOO and that the
cost of putting the Langley Field
at Washington Hoover Airport
would be $3,556,OO0.
Chairman Mary T. Norton
moved to add two additional
members to the seven man COM
mission proposed in the bill.
Representative Jennings Ran
dolph, chairman of the subcom-
mlttee, agreed to the change but
1t was the consensus of the COM
mittee that they should give gen.
eral approval to the report and if
any committee amendments were
needed they could be added to the
bill when it comes up on the
floor of the House.
Mrs. Norton's move would add
an official from the Park and
planning Commission and a mem
Der OF the board of trade.
Center On Senate
Sponsors of the Gravelly Point
site will now turn their attention
to the Senate side of the Capitol
where Senator Ernest w. Gibson
(RO of Vermont. and Senator
Harry F. Byrd CD of Virginia,
are sponsoring a bill introduced
by Senator Gibson to place the
site on the point.
Senator Gibson and Senator
Byrd have had numerous confer
ences since the report of the
House subcommittee was first
made public and will begin hear
1ngs on their bill in the Senate

CITIZENS SPLIT.
IN CLASH OVER
MEAT PLANT
Some AIexandrians Take
Stand Against Slaughter
House Erection Plan

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April "a,
Hundreds of Alexandria citizens
appeared before city council last
night to protest against the pro-
posed slaughter house, only to be
disappointed in that the issue was
not brought up for discussion.
Indignant citizens who packed
the council chambers ad corridors
outside were told that the mat
ter had not been brought up soon
enough to be placed on the docket
by the city manager.
Many Oppose Project
Thomas A. Settle, secretary of
the National Park and Capital
Planning Commission, was present
at the meeting and among those
waiting to be heard.
Other prominent AleXandrians
present to voice protest were Col.
Harry N. Cootes, Col. Charles B.
Moore, Mrs. Charles R. Hooff, Mr..
and Mrs. Taylor Burke, Mr.. and
Mrs. Armistead Booth, Mrs. Gray
son Paln1an, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Haley, Herbert Little and Morris
Horner.
City officials insist, despite all
the rumors to the contrary, that
no official approval has been given
the project by them, that no per-
nit for the construction of such
a plant has been issued, and that
no official consideration of the
matter has been given by the
council members.
Has Business o. X.
Meanwhile, many of Alexan-
dria's leading business men are
organizing a concentrated drive
to win approval of the project,
which, they claim, will materially
improve business conditions in
the city.
Approval of the project was
also voted by the Sixth Ward
Citizens Association at a meeting
earlier in the week.
Citizens opposed to the plant
have run advertisements in the
local paper and the same paper
has taken a decided stand for
the plant in its editorials.
The huge project, which would
pack thousands of pounds of
meat daily, is chiefly sponsored
by the Alexandria Chamber of
Commerce, which has been lead
ing the fight to bring the project
here to improve business condi-
tions.
Details of Plan
The proposed plant would not
include an abattoir for at least
four years, and not even then if
the approval of the city council
cannot be obtained, according to
j. M. Campbell, vice president of
the corporation planning the prof.
ect. The units to be built, in
order, include a produce depot,
quick freezing plant, power house
and then the abattoir if permis-
sion could be obtained, he said.
The first unit will be started
within so days if the landowners
of Alexandria do not hold out for
unfair prices for the property pro-
posed for the site, he indicates.
This unit alone, Mr.. Campbell
explained, would employ approx
mately 100 persons at an average
salary of $125 per month and the
other units would be financed and
follow as the business justified.
In answer to charges that the
city would be made into a stock
yard, Mr.. Campbell said that a
35O-acre grazing lot would be pur-
chased further down the line on
the Southern Railway and only
the stock to be butchered that day
would be shipped in.
Mr.. Campbell declared plans for
the project call for the utmost
sanitation.

BAKER
ReappOinted Superintendent
of Schools, Two Year
Term

d. R. Baker, superintendent of
the Hamilton public schools, was re-
appointed for two more years by mem
bers of the Hamilton Board of Edu-
cation in special session at the
Board Of Education building, South
Second street, Monday night.
Mr.. Baker was first appointed for
one year in September, 1929. In 1890
he was reappointed for a fve-year
term. The new term will extend from
June 80, 1885, to June 80, 1887. Mem
bers Of the board expressed the belief
that because of present unsettled eco
nomic conditions in the country two
year term would be advisable at this
time
The reappointment was voted
unanimously by the board upon the
motion of Mrs. Mary Beckett, second
ed by Harry Hughes. Others voting
for Mr.. Bakers reappointment were

dent, P. P. Boil and DR.. William M.

friends of the amendment are not go
ing to abandon it, not by long shot,
and can be depended upon to press
the fight until victory is won.
Approval of the amendment by only
four states this year, while at least
16 have rejected it, shows the need
for further educational work on its
behalf. Apparently foes of the emas-
uer have been able to fool lot OF
Legislators into believing the amend
ment is an undesirable thing, instead
Of the good thing that it is.
States that have refused to ratify
the amendment will not succeed in
permanently blocking it. In the end
the amendment will become a part
of the constitution, to the benefit OF
the nation and those states that have
opposed it will not have accomplished
anything except to write themselves
down as having tried in vain to stop
progress.

plying with the order. They could take
his Blue Eagle away from him if they
wanted to, he said, but he would not
take on that man. And so far he has
not. For the department of justice is
slow to act on these cases, and the
Textile Labor Relations Board has no
authority to enforce its rulings. This
is the next step the unions and all who
are in sympathy with the union pro-
gram must take. They must see to it
that compliance with the rulings of
the board is enforceable and is
ENFORCED.
There will be no lasting gain from
the strike, there will no lasting gain
even from NRA unless compliance is
made obligatory. The Wagner labor
disputes bill (S1958) now before con-
gress will make this possible, and all
friends of labor should give it hearty
support. Public opinion must force
the adoption of some general policy by
which the considered rulings of the
boards such as the Textile Labor Rela-
tions Board shall be enforced These
Boards are doing valiant work. They
are developing policies and making
precedents which will be of incalcu-
liable benefit to all industry. But they
must be given the power to secure
compliance with their rulings and to
enforce their decisions
