Of Stuck Whistle
On Entering Train
Steam, Refuses to Stop
and Calls S,Uanp
Terminal.

The grandfather OF all steam
whistles broke into a banshee scream
in Union Station at $40 am. today
and an hour later was still going
strong.
A stuck valve on Baltimore Sz Ohio
locomotive No. $500, a P7 type named
the George Washington" opened the
whistle and let 1t shrek with q pene-
trating howl that echoed from Dupont
Circle to Boiling Field.
With Engineer Blizzard at the
throttle. the painting iron horse was
bringing the four coaches, filled with
commuters, from Baltimore. The
pufiing giant was rocking past Ivy
Yards Just before rolling over the
maze of switches that would carry
the train into the shed.
Blizzard pulled the whistle string.
The pent-up steam burst into the
morning air. 1t refused to stop. Old
IS sounded like q witches holiday
when she ground to stop in the
station.
Blizzard muttered. Redcaps gath
cred round the big howler. Passen-
gers stopped to stare. Nothing could
be done. The Union Station SWITCH
board began to buzz with dozens Of
calls from people all over the city
anxious to know what was making
that noise. George Washington was
rolled into the yards for whistle
treatment.

Criticisms of Mrs. Roosevelt
Always Considered, She Says

"She not only disapproves violently
OF the Governments activities, but
disapproves completely Of everything
I do. Tell her I am extremely sorry
she feels the way she does, but that We
are all doing our best as we see 1t.
When Mrs. Schneider reported to
Mrs. Roosevelt that investigations had
shown some of the hard luck tales
written to Mrs. Roosevelt were not as
represented, Mrs. Roosevelt replied:
1.-The only thing is to be perfectly
frank and honest with them, and tell
them we found they really did not
need help and were not entirely truth
full. I am beginning to suspect that
many requests for clothing are not
made because clothes are needed, but
because they want something belong
ing to the Presidents family. This
bears out my contention that one
should always investigate appeals. It
Is cruel and unfair to do nothing for
those In actual need, but It is unwise
to give without finding out something
about the people who write"
To balance OF this slight chiding,
Mrs. Roosevelt gave double measure
Of praise TO several women who wrote
telling her about the battles they were

CIVIL SERVICE LAW
HEARING RECESSED
Mrs. Avery to Resume Testi-
mony Tuesday Before
House Group.

The House Civil Service Committee
hearing on the Cellar bill to repeal
the marital status law today was in
recess until Tuesday at 10 am.
At that time Mrs Edwina Avery,
president of the Women's Bar Asso-
citation of the District, will resume
her place in the witness chair for ex-
animation on her testimony yesterday.
Representative Starnes. Democrat, OF
Alabama has expressed desire to
question her.
Mrs. Avery told the committee grave
social consequences were flowing from
the law, as young couples put of mar
riage because they felt unable to live
on one salary.
In the two days the hearing has
been in progress. the testimony has
all been emphatically In favor of re-
pealing the law, which was enacted
as permanent legislation in the econ
omy act of 1882, and provides that
where a married couple Is employed
by the Government. either husband or
wife must be dropped II reduction Of
force becomes necessary.
Meantime it was determined def
nitely today that the Home Owners
Loan Corp. Is invoking the marital
status law in reducing its force. despite
information to the contrary yesterday.
1t was said that the corporation has
been applying the law for the past six
months in the decentralization Of the
headquarters staff, but that each case
was considered on its merits. It was
not known how many persons had
been affected. There have been sew
eral hundred dismissals at the cor
poration.
The statement that no dismissals
had been made there under the marital
law was attributed to- misunder-
standing. ...
So far as has been made known,
the corporation is the first OF the
emergency agencies to invoke this
measure.

D. c. ASKS ADVICE
ON NEW BRIDGE
City Heads Seek Data on
States Aid in Building
Structure.

The question of how much Mary
land and Virginia would pay toward
cost of the proposed high-level bridge
over the Potomac River. to replace the
old Chain Bridge, has been placed be-
fore the Governors Of the two States
by the District Commissioners.
Since such q development would be
primarily for benefit Of traffic between
the two States, q portion Of the cost
should be borne by Maryland and Viz
ginia, Melvin c. Hazen, president of
the Board of Commissioners, wrote
yesterday to Cows. Nice and Peery.
The letter also raises the general
question Of the advisabil1ty of building
. hish-level bridge which would be
designed as Q bypass around WASH
ington for trucks bound north or
south.
High Bridge Question.
A high-level bridge, HAGEN stated,
'is apparently justifiable only upon
the basis Of being part of q through
route from north to south and wee
versa and without adequate approach
roads and connections to the main
highway systems of Maryland and Vir-
ginia there would be little need for
its construction"
The Commissioners will hold a con-
ference on the plan at their board
meeting Tuesday at 1880 am, when
members Of the Virginia delegation In
Congress, and others, are to be heard.
Specifically. the two Governors were
asked to state whether they regard
the high-level bridge project desir-
able; If the States would provide
adequate approaches and main road
connections; If the Governors would
recommend to their Legislatures ac-
ceptance Of q share in the cost, and
If they would favor creation Of
commission, under congressional au-
thority, to consider the whole prob
lem.
Alternative Plan.
As a possible alternative plan, Dis
trict officials are considering replace
ment Of the old bridge with q new
one at about the present level and
with better approach on the District
side, 50 as to avoid the present sharp
turn at the bridge head. The cost Of
that type Of structure would be much
less. Some oflcials say it would
serve adequately the District needs.
II . high-level bridge Is built the
District will have to spend q large
sum In laying road connections which
would carry the expected heavy truck
ing trafiic leads, officials say.
