Former President Hoover'S zeal
for curbing the power Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt seems strangely
at variance with his views when
he was at the seat of power. :"
Representative John ]. McSwain
CD of South Carolina declared
yesterday.
In a statement issued through
the Democratic National Com
mittee, McSwain said:
"Mr. Hoover seems to be =
candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination, per.
haps more hopeful than actual.
"He should take time off be-
tween his effuSive and frequent
utteranceS to review and reflect
ON what Secretary Hoover had
to say in 1924. Consistency is
the same old jewel"
Blanket authority for the PreSi-
dent in time of war to fix prices,
wages, transportation charges,
compensationS, embargoes on i'm
ports and exports, was urged by
Hoover when testifying before the
House Military Affairs Commit
tee in 1924, McSwain said, con-
tinuing:
what Mr.. Hoover then ad.
vOcated was definite and to the
pOint-wartime dictatOrial
power"

ROADS BEFORE
CIVIC GROUP

BETHESDA, Md, Jan. 13.-Ad.
vocates Of the move to widen and
improve the old Georgetown
Road from Bethesda to Alta
Vista will seek support of the
Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton when it meets here to-
night at 8 o'clock in the local
elementary school.
Another resolution, to be pre-
Sented to the Federation by the
Chamber of Commerce, will adj
vocate construction of a highway
between Alta Vista and Halpine,
along the right-of-way of the
abandoned Georgetown-Rockville
trolley line.
Supporters say this 25.foot-
right-of-way could be purchased
for a very small sum and resi-
dents along the proposed high
way would donate a two and one
half foot strip Of land on each
side, thus enSuring at least a
30-foot road, which would be sui.
ficient for present needs.

INQUIRY URGED
ON GOLD FUND

Congressional investigation into
the Administrators handling Of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS stabilize
ton fund loomed today on Capitol
Hill.
Charges that President Roose-
welt had failed to show cause why
the secret fund should be ex-
tended for a third year were lev
eled at the Administration by Rep
reSentative Hamilton Fish (RO.
Senators Vandenberg CRO, Of
Michigan. and Hastings (RJ. of
Delaware. along with Representa-
tive Fish, indicated they would
demand an accounting Of the huge
fund and Secretary Morgenthau's
operations for the last two years.
They claim that with this coun-
try holding about half of the
world monetary gold supply there
Is no need for continuation of the
fund as was proclaimed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt last week. Repre-
sentative Fish declared:
"The law specifically pro-
vided that this sterilization
fund should expire January 30,
1896, unless the President issued
q proclamation that the emer.
gency still exists and that there
Is a necessity for its continu-
anCe."

HOUSE RENTAL
BILL TO GIVE
WAY TODAY

Speedy House approval Of nine
Of the 10 District bills on the
House calendar was anticipated
as the District Committee pre-
pared for its first day" in the
House today.
Virtually no opposition to any
Of these measures is expected
while the tenth bill, the Ellen
bogen proposal for reviving the
wartime rent commission, is to
be sidetracked with the approval
Of its author, Representative
Henry Ellenbogen CD Of Penn
Sylvania.
Suggestion that consideration
Of this bill be postponed came
first from Representative Mary T.
Norton CD of New Jersey, chair
man Of the District Committee,
who explained that she first de-
sired to make q private probe of
the rental situation here and
then call in representatives Of
local real estate interests to seek
their cooperation in q voluntary
movement to remedy what she
has termed are existing high
rentals"
May Drop Measure
Representative Ellenbogen since
has revealed that he may drop
his pending proposal and substi-
tTte for it bill under which land
lords would be taxed for over
charging in the matter Of rents.
He has not introduced that meas
ure as yet.
Probably the most important Of
the other nine bills is that which
would permit minors to perform
for pay if their applications to
take part in such performances
is approved by the Board Of Edu-
cation. This would amend the
local child labor law.
Two of the pending bills came
into being as a result Of the local
House crime investigation Of last
session. When these are called
up, they themselves are not ex-
pected to be fought, but discus
sion Of them may lead to some
controversy of the crime which
caused so much furore last session.
The two measures would ID in
crease the penalties for habitual
criminals, and CD make bribery a
felony.
Get Same Salaries
Another proposal of general In
tereSt here is that giving the local
vocational schools the same status
as junior high schools in the city.
This measure also would give the
teachers in the vocational schools
the same salaries as are given jun
Tor high school teachers.
The District Bar Association is
vitality interested in another Of the
measures expected to be given
final congressional approval today.
The bill, already passed by the
Senate, would set up certain quail
fications for those practicing law
in the city.
One of the other bills would
authorize the District Commission
erS to open graves without special
action of Congress, while the other
three propose that healing art IL
censes be granted to DR.. Arthur B.
Walker, PAX Chu Chan and Ron
aid A. Cox.
