Purposes Alone Hit
, At Budget Hearing

Diversion Of gasoline tax funds
into the general revenues Of the
District was urged today by Harry
N. Stull, chairman of the schools
committee Of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, at the 1897

Mr.. Stull pointed out that the
earmarked gasoline tax fund,
which now can be used only for
highway purposes, hampers the
District Commissioners in the ad.
miniStration of local government.
He said:
II don't see why this money
should be set up as q sacred
COW for any one purpose"

pioned by Mr.. Stull was in &C
cordance with a proposal by Com
missioner George E. Allen last
week that such steps be taken.
Opposed by Hazen

is opposed to such q radical step
in tax diversion, but said he would
agree to extension Of the use of
gasoline tax money to police ad-
ministration and costs Of traffic
control.
Mr.. Stull declared citizens Of
the District may be more in
terested in construction of addi-
tional schools than in the i'm
provement and construction Of
highways.
Commissioner Hazen asked the
civic leader if he would divert the
water taxes to the general fund.
and Mr.. Stull said there should be
no forms of earmarked taxes in
the District.
Mr.. Stull said he was opposed
to an increase in gasoline taxes,
and advocated a local income tax
If additional revenues were
needed.
Charles J. Benner, Of the Con-
gress Heights Citizens ASsoc1a'

OIIVET, Mich, Aug. % U.N.S),
Heated charges that Government

training school here were taught
Communism and sang the Inter

conservative, century-old college
town brought a series of denials
and counter-charges today.
Village President George B.
Ely, a Purdue graduate, said "the
people Of the village Shuddered
through six weeks of CommuniStic
activity and we hope never to
have to 60 through it again." He
said:
Men Of Olivet wanted to

business principles, and that the
law was violated in that contracts
were not given to low bidders.
Attacked by Norris
The strained relations became
almost open warfare when Sen
ator Norris of Nebraska, father OF
the IVA idea and also former en-
ployer of General McCarl, at
tackled the doughty Comptroller
General in a stinging Senate re-
buke. Following that episode,
Comptroller General McCarl was
mentioned as a possible Repub-
lican candidate for the Presi"
dency.
Following this flareup, Admin
istration heads decided it was time
to trim some of the Comptroller
Generals power If he was going
to be too hardboiled about the
IVA, which is the fair.haired So
cial experiment of the Roosevelt
administration.
While the original iva act was
believed to have given TVA
enough leeway to operate without
as much red tape as other Gov
eminent units, it left the General
Accounting Office free to make q
general accounting. and also gave
the Comptroller General authority
to establish a branch office Of his
own on TvA territory to conduct
q sort of grass roots checkup and
survey.
This is what "riled" IVA tenn.
pers: They were being checked on
by men they considered untr1end-
ly-and had to pay for it out OF
iva funds.
Checked on Movie
One Of the complaints iva
officials made against the Nc
Carl auditors in the iva terri
tory was that they checked up
on q movie entertainment given
as q part of the welfare program
in one of the work camps and
declared the receipts did not
check with the number Of per
sons in the audience.
After, considerable Squabbling
the iva people asserted the Nc"
Carl auditors had counted the
uShers as a part Of the audience.
Scores Of other small episodes Of
that sort added to the general
irritability.
The iva legislation now before
the President does not prevent q
McCarl audit Of iva accounts,
but prevents the use Of such an
audit as a report that can be
used for political purposes, it is
said by iva officials.
The amendments contain a Sec
ton making it mandatory on the
Comptroller General to give iva
a chance to go over his figures
and comments and take the cen.
ter of the stage along with the
Comptroller General in any con.
troverSy.
Furthermore, the iva amend
mentS declare that the Comp
troller General can no longer
draw on the IVA for money to
maintain an office in the iva
territory.

had invaded the pages Of the
Congressional Record for an at
tack on Huddeston and himself
by accusing them of aiding utili-
ties lobbyists.

to Bruce Kremer, ex-Democratic
national committeeman from
Montana, now a capital lawyer
the Senate lobby committee
learned today.
Howard C. Hopson. head Of
the A. G. and E. System. was
again on the stand. Previously
he had testified that his com,
pany paid 100000 in legal fees
to Patrick J. Hurley, Secretary
of War in the Hoover administra.
ton. and had also employed
Joseph P. Tumulty. former secre.
tary to woodrow Wilson.
Tells Of Kremer
Senator Black CD Of Alabama
committee chairman, read into
the record a telegram addressed
to B. B. Robinson, A. G. E. at
torney here, and signed by Dun
can Robinson, Hopson'S secretary
The telegram read:
Assume B. X. is friend with
all politicians, and C. u. is one
of them and C. u. is friend Of
ours except when own interest
is concerned, which is most Of
the time"
Hopson identified the B. K. as
Bruce Kremer. but said he could
not remember who the &C. U" rep.
resented. HopSon did not at first
remember whether the company
employed Kremer but an A. G. z.
official with him testified that
Kremer was paid $4,000.
The story of a telephone call in
which an RFC employe, identified
as a Mr.. Halsted-" advised Rob.
inson that a bond exchange
sought by A. G. E. would "go
through" was also spread in the
record.
Telegram Leads to Data
A telegram from Robinson, then
In Cleveland, to HopSon in Miami,
brought the information out.
Hopson explained the natter re.
ferred to A. G. E. effoI Is to get
the Union Trust Company OF
Cleveland to turn in about g..
100000 of bonds under the com.
pany'S recapitalization plan. He
added that a group Of Stockhold-
ers sought to get the court to set
it aside.
Speaking of Halstead, Hopson
said:
HE had been very nice to
me-he had introduced me to .
good many people. told him I
wanted this on o purely imper-
SOnal basis. I paid him $780,"
Robinson told the committee OF
his efforts to ascertain, prior to
radio release, whether President
Roosevelt in one of his "fireside
chats intended criticizing the AS
sociated Gas and Electric Com
pany.
He said two newspaper men,
John Snure, of the New York Her.
ald-Tribune, and Charles Gridley.
of the Denver Post, advised him
that the President would not at
tack A. G.. & E.
Black then veered to Robinson s
lobbying activities, asking:
What Senators did you talk
to about the Wheeler.Rayburn
bill?"
The witness argued over this
question for some time. Finally,
he said:
Il discussed the bill with Sen,
atOr Murray d. Of Montana,
the first day 1 was in town."
"He voted for the bill, didn't
he?"
Eyes, he did. 1 think he was
a little bit annoyed at my atti-
tude."
Among others Robinson said he
talked with, were White (RD of
Maine, Dietrich CD Of Illinois
and Frazier (R.) of North Dakota.

Some Deserving FOOtbalIers

IUEYS plan to use university football team for

tics. 1t began to mature last fall when he led the
team-his team, as he called ito Nashville and
into Mississippi.
For the trip to Nashville he subsidized many
members of the student body of Louisiana State at
the rate of 81 each. The source of the money was
not known, but by popularity of the law in Louis
lana, Huey not required to account for public
funds
Some of the students thought Huey put up the
money, but Hueys law such that he could have
financed this personal political demonstration at the
expense of the taxpayers
Huey and his football department did not always
agree Huey had been heard to boast that he
bound to get champion team because he could hire
the best players, charging their salaries to the pay
roll of the State Highway Commission.
Huey insisted that it was perfectly ethical for a
young man to serve the state government and still
play football. And if it commended that they

way department the answer to that that count

similar duties. BY this theory the football

Shrew" 1t could be very interesting. In fact many
of Shakespeares plays leave you with strong desire
to know what happened next Certainly the story of
Shyock is not completed at the end of The Mer-

OF course, the line between tragedy and comedy
may depend upon the circumstance of Petruchios

which Petruchio wins his wager is set down in

she doesn't want him to realize that fact Dumb bun
ny though he be, she loves the fellow.
His attempts to be the masterful man are so pitt

He, Too, Had Bills TO Pan

IF Shakespeare had not been a hdeously over
worked author he could have done a great deal
more with the story of Katherine and Petrucho. He
might have written extremely witty and subtle
comedy about their relationship. But there
bills TO pay and social obligations to be met and so
whale of a good idea went into the pot and
out sure-fre, rowdy, hoakum farce.
Just CLINT Of the original subtle notion remains,
and it is cherished and treasured in the performance
of Miss Fontanne. I a distinct analogy between
Katherine and Candida. Both were victims of the
maternal complex.
l hold to the Interpretation that Katherine
never tanned at all. There was never a moment from
the beginning to the end when she couldn't have
knocked PetruchoS block off morally spiritually and
even physically. 1t is possible that after the first
curtain deScends and they are left alone she does
thump the breath out of him But probably not,
for after sl, Kathernes conquest of the staggering
male is so complete that she does not need to under
line it with left jabS right hooks. She has taken
the staggering Petruchio into camp completely.
