BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, August 3:-Pre'
sumably nude bathing in Kansas City
lakes and pools at night is legal, but
it's against a city ordinance to drive
a horse without holding the reins.
This information was unearthed by
a heat-stricken inquirer yesterday
citing the ordinances in proof.
The ordinance concerning bathing
reads: mo persons being naked or
insuficiently clothed shall bathe, wash
or swim in the Missouri River or in
any other water course, pool or pond
within the city limits between one
hour before sunrise and one hour
after sunset"

Revised Proposal to
Enlarge Commissioners Powers.

TOR GRAFTON COUNSEL
PRETTYMAN is credited with
having in the course of prepara-
ton a new bill to enlarge the
powers of the Commissioners Of the
District of Columbia. 1t is to be
the old bill in sort Of "denatured"
form more in keeping with the ex-
pressed desires of the community.
One of the chief obstacles encoun-
tered by the former proposal was
the elimination or emasculation of
the several citizen boards.
The proposal to do away with
the Board of Education, the Board
of Library Trustees and other
groups of citizens or the stripping
them of essential powers was based
upon theories of the supremacy Of
the Commissioners as the heads OF
the local government. 1t might be
6ificult to sell this idea in a self
governing community where the
administrative heads were elected
by and responsible to the people. In
q voteless and unrepreSented COM
munity administered by irreSpon-
sible appointees and under the in
fluence and control of an all-power.
full foreign legislature the civic or
ganizations could see nothing but
the removal of the last vestige of
local control.
On other occasions proposals to
wipe out the citizen boards have
encountered the same united civic
organization opposition. The con-
test over this issue has had q
wholesome effect on the civic bod
les and has drawn them closer to
these hard-working boards of their
fellow citizens. The District has

Fur Notice Issued.

Louis Rothschild, director of the
Washington Better Business Bureau,
has circularized the members of the
organization who deal in furs with a
bulletin citing recent Federal Trade
Commission rulings that demand
actual instead of trade names in the
advertising of furs.
Rothschild conferred with an official
of the commission and then an
nounced to the fur trade that here
after seal-dyed muskrat must be
called seal-dyed muskrat and not
Hudson seal. Sealine will be seal
dyed rabbit or seal-dyed coney. Other
such trade names as beaverette, men,
doza beaver, northern seal, leopardine,
American broadtail, marmink and
Bering seal must be advertised as
actual rabbit, marmot, coney or lamb,
with an adjective to describe the dye
or blend used to make them appear
like some other or better fur.
The case was handled by the Better
Business Bureau in the interest Of
truth in advertising, one of the pur-
poses OF the organization.

OUGHT TO PAY
Senator Clark (D) of Missouri

ing the difficulty experienced by
the Government after the war
in collecting income taxes from
great corporations. Senator Bone
pointed out that in the case of

CATION it took years to get a
settlement. He said:
"And then, the Government
settled for a figure $9,OOO,O0O
below that originally assessed"
Mr.. Baruch made no comment,
and Senator Bone continued:
''Is there any logic, common
sense, or horse sense in a
system under which thousands
have lost their homes for taxes,
and big corporations have been
able to tie things up for years,
and then pay small Sums?"
"Why, no, think they ought

of discomfort among its half mil

He described Henry Ford as
"the biggest fake in America and
the most overrated man." And
added:
"But he has been lucky 50

He said Ford is the country's
largest employer and the most
"unscrupulous." He then said:
"What we need is a new Sec

"This Administration, in my

An appeal for widespread re-

mishapS of which he revealed as
costing $500 lives and an eco
nomic waste equal to an annual
tax of $50 for every family in
the United States, was made to-
day by Secretary Of Commerce
Daniel c. Roper.
Declaring that responsibility for
these losses rests with every
form of Federal, State, and local
government. Secretary Roper ad-
mitted that the Commerce De-
partment feels most concern over
the Federal branches. He said:
Substantially all the present
activities Of the Government
pertaining to the promotion Of
greater security of human lives
on water and in the air are
centered in the Department Of
Commerce.
ut is but natural that we

The question of whether a
Police Department scout car
ever runs out of gasoline has
been solved.
The seduction came from
Elmer Hipsley. motor patrol
agent of the keystone Automo-
bile Club. who daily tours the
streets of Washington, seeking
stranded motorists in order to
play the role of the Good
Samaritan.
In an isolated spot on the out.
skirts of the city yesterday, Mr..
Hipsley came on one of the
police scout cars out of gas,
just as the policeman was start
ing in search of fuel. The
patrol agent got out his emer-
gency fuel can, gave the car
sufficient gas to get to a filling
station and made a friend for
life.

young Matthias this week, bitterly
assailing the Pearson admins
tration.
Indignation was voiced over
the report that President Pear.
son had tried to clamp a censor
ship on the editor under threat
of expulsion.
The letter was written after an
interview between the president
and the student, in which DR..
Pearson demanded to know if the
attack was to be construed as
personal, and Matthias said that
it was.
Letter Unmailed
However, the letter has not yet
been mailed. Editor Matthias said
today:
81 do not know yet what the
editorial policy will be in the
next edition, and cannot say
until 1 have been informed by
the President. I have only
hearSay that am to receive
this letter."
One student leader, supporting
the editor, said:
IF they try to censor the
paper, am in favor of asking
that the Governor investigate
the whole campus. We should
be free to publish ali facts and
not be hindered."
TAKES OPPOSITE VIEW
Taking an opposite view, a girl
prominent in campus activities
said:
"What If things are being
badly handled? It is none Of
our affair, but up to the regents.
We are here as students, and I
do not believe we have any right
to meddIe with the adminiStra-
tion Of the university"
Her view was upheld by another
student, who said:
ut looks to me as If we were
being used as q catSpaw by GER
tain members Of the faculty who
are disgruntled with the admin
istratfon. They should carry on
their own fight and not involve
the students in it,"
In Annapolis the governor said
he did not intend to ask for more

There is approximately one mil

for a fund to be expended by the

Governor Nice said that PreSi-
dent Pearson had called on him
half a dozen times requesting
more money. The university head
asked for an increase of approx.

in the last budget. Instead of the
increase, the governor approved a
budget which cut the university

G.N.SO.-While dense clouds Of
choking dust swirled over Texas,
wintry temperatures and wet
snow to the north gave the
dried Plains States some relief

northerly wind. Fort Worth and
Dallas were swept by the dust
storm, one Of the worst OF the
season.
In Abilene citizens could see
hardly more than a block.

sand forced fliers to climb to

Tulsa, Okla, during which she
stayed above 10000 feet.
