ACTIVITY
OFF ANOTHER
HALF POINT

Steel ingot production has re-
ceded one-half point to 5512 per
cent in response TO year-end in.
fluences and another decline is
looked for next week, followed by
a recovery in the new year, &C
cording to the current Iron Age
summary. Though consumers
generally are pairing stocks in
preparation for inventory taking,
the cumulative effect on mill oper.
atoms to date has been slight.
Ingot output is off l point to 43
per cent at Pittsburgh, 2 points
to 81 per cent at Cleveland and
l point to 38 per cent in the
Philadelphia district. but has ad-
vanced 2 points to 81 per cent at
Chicago and is holding unchanged
in other centers.
The Iron Age scrap composite,
representing the average of heavy
melting steel prices at Pittsburgh,
Chicago and Philadelphia, has de-
clined from $1342 to 1888 a

tons of steel scrap on a cash basis,

Trend Seen Upward
THE high rate of activity in
the automobile industry, expand
ing railroad buying, a revival Of
private shipbuilding, rise in
construction work and prospec-
tive increases in the operations Of
farm equipment makers indicate
that the general trend of iron
and steel demand is still upward.
Automobile assemblies for
December are now estimated at
100000, and the total for the
year will approximate 4,135,000
units, gain of A per cent over
1884, and the largest output
since 1929. Retail demand for
cars has exceeded expectations;
the most pressing problem of the
industry is to keep used car sales
abreast of new car sales.

of the 10000 tons of steel re-

PORTRAIT BILL
HEARING GIVEN
SENATE D. K.
ConnaIIy Ready As Soon As
Walsh Can Round Up His
Witnesses for Measure

Early consideration by the Sen.
ate Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds of the Walsh
resolution for the creation of q
commission to study plans for a
National Portrait Gallery in
Washington was promised today.
Senator Tom Connally CD. of
Texas, chairman of the commit.
tee, asserted that he would call
his committee together to con.
slider the measure whenever Sen
ator David I. Walsh CD of Mass
achusetts, sponsor of the resolu-
ton, makes such a request.
Waits Witnesses
The Massachusetts, Sena tor,
who is a member of the Public
Buildings and Grounds Commit
tee, explained that he probably
will be ready sometime this week
to go ahead with a hearing. He
added:
'Tn view of the interest that
has been aroused by the intro
ductiOn of my resolution calling
for the creation of a commission
to study plans for the cOnstruc-
ton of a National Portrait Gal
lery, / intend to ask the commit
tee to proceed with the hearings
at the earliest possible date,
with the hope of obtaining
speedy approval Of the measure.
DEFINITE NEED
ut appears to me that there
is a definite need in the United
States for an institution such as
is contemplated in the measure.
and the Nations Capital is ma
turally the most fitting place
for it to be located.
Europe long has hOnOred its
notable in this fashion and in
the interest of promoting cul-
ture in America and similarly
pay our respects to the notable
of this country it is fitting that
we begin Immediately to push
these plans forward"

method of settling which dog

Mrs. Isenhour said today that
before the case was appealed to
the corporation court she would
ask Judge James Reese Duncan,
of the civil and police court, to
issue an order subjecting the
disputed dog to a blood test to
determine whether it is actually

here Friday as the mother of

Phillip Fennell, who also
claims the dog and declares it

decided in court that evidence

If the blood test plan is not
carried through, Mrs. Isenhour
said that she would carry the
case to the Corporation Court
during the June term.

Saws:

The Administration Is once
again making a secret inveStiga-
ton into Huey Longs finances,
in effort to prove an income re-
port violation. You can al
most hear Jim Farley humming:
"I'll Be Down To Get You With
the Taxes, Huey."
Government agents claim to
have uncovered records show
ing that several years ago, the
Senator deposited 100000 in ,
st. Louis bank. Evidently,
they give the KingfiSh credit
for having more money than
brains.
Between the people and the
Administration, it looks like
Huey ought to get some place
with his "Share-the-wealth"
plan. Either a term in the
White House. or the Big
House.

"DO fish think? Well, now"
Mr.. Orsinger ruffled the papers
on his desk.
He was reminded of anglers
who dangled tempting lures un-

trout. He was asked why they
remain disinterested. Were these
fish smart?
It was pointed out to him that
these same anglers, on other occa-
Sions, could not cast a fly without
hooking a speckled beauty. Were
these fish morons?
A sigh of resignation, barely
audible, swept the half smile from
Mr.. Orsinger's lips. AS he ex'

Long Captivity
Fails TO Break
King of Birds

He walks as if he owned the
earth.
When anything irritates him,
he screams with rage.
AS he struts around the cage,
other birds make way for him.
His powerful beak, vicious
talons and enormous wings assist
him in maintaining his title
King of the Birds.
Americas symbol of greatness,
the bald eagle, is still, despite
years, of captivity at the Zoo, as
fierce and wild as the day he was
captured.
He hates being photographed.
He said so with fierce screams
that sent smaller birds flying to
the trees in haste. He tried to
reach the photographer with his
talons. His beak is powerful
enough to bite off a mans hand.

BURNING DUMPS
HELD HAZARD
TGREGATTA
Remon AssaiIs 0dors, Smoke;
Citizens Plan Mass Meet
To Protest Nuisance

Smoke from burning dumps In
Arlington county may prove a
serious hazard to the boat rae
ing drivers in the Presidents
Cup Regatta, according to state
ment issued today by John A.
Remon, president Of the Regatta
Association.
Abolition of the dumps will be
demanded at a mass meeting
of indignant citizens tonight in
Arlington Court House. The
citizens will meet to discuss the
existing ordnance, directed against
the dumps, and a proposed new
ordinance which its critics say is
weaker than the existing measure.
Three outstanding organizations
of the District of Columbia have
j o n d hands with Arlington
county citizens in protesting such
obnoxious and unSightly" places.
The first two to enter the fight
were the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and the
District of Columbia Medical
Society.
Ordinance Valid
Opponents of the dumps con-
tend that should the new ordi-
mace be adopted, it would auto
matically invalidate the existing
ordinance and throw the new law
open to challenge in court, as was
the present law, and thus delay
elimination of the dumps. The
present ordinance has been ruled
valid by the Virginia Supreme
Court. s'- p.

ing the dumps, said:
Gas president Of the Presi-
dents Cup Regatta Association,
am very much interested in
any improvement that may
tend to make our regatta even
more successful. One element
that tends to make a regatta
so attractive and appealing is
a beautiful setting. Aside from
the sporting element Of the
regatta, it is a beautiful sight
to see graceful boats dashing
through water, particula rly
when the adjacent shores and
areas are in harmony through
proper development.
Race Hazard
"The race course in Potomac
River south of Hams Point used
by our regatta is a beautiful
one in many ways. Potomac
Park on the north adds a great
deal to it. The Mt. Vernon
Highway is another great i'm
prOvement. However, I would
like to call attention to the
dumps that are maintained
along the Mt. Vernon Highway.
The burning Of the debris Gre
ates obnoxious OdOrs which are
diStasteful and unhealthful and
also at times there is a great
amount of smoke. Obnoxious
OdorS, Of course, detract from
the pleasure of those attending
regattas and the smoke may at
times prove a serious hazard to
the racing drivers, particularly
when it is carried close to the
water.
"The regatta has become a
very important event in the Ma
tons Capital, and it is to the
material interest of this section
that it continue to grow. The
removal of the burning dumps
would contribute to that end"
