CREDIT UNION
AIDS SENATE
EMPLOYEES
Even Garner Eligible
for Loan From New
Orqanization

If Vice President Garner
should need 5000 in a hurry and
seek to get it from the newly or
ganized Senate Employees Credit
Union, he would have to be thor
oughly investigated by the head
electrician of the Senate Office
Building, as we'll as two clerks,
before he could get the money.
And the same holds true of the
96 men who wear the Senatorial
toga. No matter what their fl
nancial or social rating, if they
want to borrow money from the
union-and it is their right to do
so-they must undergo a search
ing examination.
Thirty.fifth Credit Union
1t is not expected that many
Senators will apply for loans, in
view of their $4,000 salary.
If such a thing should come to
pass, Senator Blank would make
out application for a loan. Then
George B. Bassford, the head
electrician, Paul Roca, employed
in Senator Hayden's office, and
Edwin L. Swope, employed by
Senator Hatch, would swing into
action.
These three men constitute the
credit committee of the union,
and if you can not pass their tx
amination-well you just don't get
the loan.
While the Senators are eligible,
it is expected the bulk of the bust
ness will come from the 800 Sen
ate employees. The new union Is
the thirty-fifth of its kind to be
chartered in the District in the
last year.
Sheppard Sponsor Of Act
Senator Morris Sheppard Cd.
of Texas, was instrumental in Sc
curing passage of the Federal
Credit Union Act, and D. Roland
Porter, secretary to Senator Shep'
pard, is president Of the union.
Charles E. Alden, chief clerk OF
the Senate, is vice president; j. M.
Henderson, treasurer, and Mack
D. Chestnut, clerk. Thomas l..
Younger, custodian of the Senate
Office Building, heads the super.
visory committee. C. George
Sharp is the second member of
this committee, and Senator Shep-
pard has been asked to be the
third member.
Shares in the credit union will
be sold to Senate employees. The
value of each share is IS, but they
may be purchased on payments
ranging upward from Is cents a
month.
Loans without security are linn
tied to $50, and with security to
5000. Interest is not to exceed l
per cent a month on the unpaid
balance.

Commissioner Allen
Plans to Improve
Morgue and Jail

Reconstruction and installation
Of equipment for disqualification
of tuberculosis victims of the
three remaining buildings in the
original Gallinger Hospital Struc-
ture will be started Immediately
as a District Works Progress pro-
ject, it was announced today by
Commissioner George E. Allen,
following approval of the project
by the Federal WPA board.
When completed, the new equip
ment will almost double the hos.
pitfalls capacity for treatment Of
white plague" patients.
Two of the original buildings
were reconstructed and equipped
under the old Emergency Works
Administration program. AS a re.
suit of this work, the hospital
was given a capacity for treating
100 tuberculosis patients. When
the present project is completed,
the capacity will be increased to
210 patients.
Traced to Civil War
The five buildings of the orig
inal hospital were constructed
during the civil war. They were
abandoned in 1929 when the more
modern hospital buildings were
opened. The buildings fell into
diSrepair, but all will be recon-
Structed and equipped as a result
Of the works program.
Shocked at antiquated, over
crowded and understuffed condi-
tions found at the District Morgue,
the Jail and Gallinger Hospital in
surprise visits to the institutions
last night, Commissioner Allen
also moved to correct some of the
shortcomings through the District
Works Program.
He instructed Deputy Admin.
iStrator William C. Cleary, of the
District WPA, to send engineers
to the Morgue and the Jail with
a view of remodeling and enlarg-
ing the structures.
Commissioner Allen said if pos
sible, the WPA will build a new
and larger Morgue. Otherwise he
proposes remodeling.
Visits Institutions
Accompanied by his secretary,
Ross Haworth, the Commissioner
visited the three institutions last
night. He found conditions of
cramped quarters, overcroWding
and inadequate staffs far more
dismal than pictured for several
years in the annual report Of the
heads of the various institutions,
he said.
Commissioner Allen said one
condition at the jail which he is
determined to correct is the ar
rangement for the death house.
At present the electric chair is set
up on execution days in one of
the mess halls. The doomed
prisoner is forced to walk "the
last mile" from 'MurdererS Row.
cells across the spacious corridor,
down a long flight of stairs and
along the lengthy mess hall to the
chair.
Informed by Jail Superintend.
ent Thomas Rives that because
of the peculiar construction of
the jail it was difficult to make
engagements, Commissioner Allen
said he proposed to eliminate the
present death-house arrangement
if he had to build a separate
building for housing and execu-
ton of condemned prisoners.

CRICKET HORDE

LYON PARK
Clothing, Wallpaper
Destroyed; Family
Driven From Meal

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Oct. 11.-Residents of Lyon
Park are beginning to doubt the
old adage that a cricket in the
house is a sign of good luck.
Suffering heavy losses in
blankets, stockings, dresses and
coats, and many other silk and
cotton garments, they have sought
the aid of the Department of
Agriculture to combat an army
of crickets which have invaded
many homes in this section.
Noise browns Radio
Mrs. Grace Duckett said her
family was driven from the din
ner table when a swarm of crick-
cts swooped down on the table
to feast on the food. She said:
"The little pests have gotten
into the walls, eaten plaster and
lOosened the wall paper.
"They have ruined one of my
best evening gowns, and eaten
up all Of my sons socks. We
kill several hundred Of them
every night. The noise after
dark is so loud that we can't
even hear the radio"
With utter disrespect for the
law, the crickets have also in
vaded the home of Policeman
James j. Scott, on Barton Street,
and ruined several blankets and
dresses.
Destroy Wall Paper,
Another family reporting heavy
losses from the swarms of cricketS
is that of Edward Goodwin. also
living on Barton street, where the
pests have played havoc with the
wallpaper and destroyed silk stock
ingS.
Mrs. Goodwin said that when
she returned home after a three
day vacation she found thou
sands of the pests in her house.
When she went down to the
basement to start the furnace
she found that the crickets had
established headquarters there,
with thousands in the furance it.

Experts declare the insects
have been routed from the
ground during excavation work
in the neighborhood, but have
offered no solution as to how to
get them back into the ground.

Bullfighting long has been n bone

Three years ago, the family resided

But then came the fy In the
ointment-the family discovered
that Manoio and Carlitos we're deter

that they were spending all OF their
spare time in practicing for a career

Mother Arruza protested, saying
she did not want her children con-
nected with such a dangerous sport.
Finally, IN an effort 70 discourage
the youngsters, the family moved 10

thinking that the change would

TOWNSENDITES

Crowd Estimated Al 400
Hears Pension Plan
Explained

tcpecial 70 The herald
HARLINGEN, Aug. l6. The
Townsend old age revolving pen
sion fund is not only an old age
pension plan but q great national
recovery plan, said Dr.. d. x. Hea-
ton Of Los Angeles in q Townsend
picnic talk at Fair Park Thursday
afternoon.
There has been no permanency
or continuity to the things that
have been done by the government
so far to end the depression, the
visiting speaker declared. The
Townsend plan would make for
permanent results, he asserted.
Too much attention also has
been given TO the old age feature.
DR.. Heaton said, and the benefits
to youth overlooked. The plan would
make jobs for thousands Of grad
yates Of schools and colleges and TO
other younger men by retiring
persons az the age OF 90.
N. q. Cofer, Brownsville attor-
ney, also spoke. He declared that
anyone willing to accept less than
5000 a month rs proposed IN the
Townsend plan was selfish. He said
that such a person was thinking
only Of himself and what he could
get along on instead Of thinking OF
the greater benefits that would &C
crue to the nation II he had $500
a month TO put into circulation
rather than q smaller sum.
Cofer attacked the banking sys-
TEN for its failure to keep money
in circulation and said that the
Townsend plan would supply this
deficiency.
Some 400 persons had basket
lunches at Fair Park Thursday and
repaired to the grandstand for the
talks. G. w. Duncan Of San Benito
presided and Rev. Day Of Primera
gave the benediction.
