An initial experiment by the united

expected to be inaugurated in Boston

Shortly it is planned to establish

The proposal has the full approva!
of the Justice Department. it is said.
The public health experts Will serve
in purely advisory capacities to judges
who desire to determine the mental
competency of prisoners.
BY the new plan it is hoped to avert
surprise defense moves to claim in
sanity for prisoners charged with
serious offenses.
Likewise, it is felt by Public Health
and Justice Department officials that
the service will aid in sitting conflicting

world, on the three man pickup squad
charged with making Washington An
uncomfortable stopping place for
rogues and hoodlums.
Supt Brown declared the changes
were in the interest of efficiency. but
neither he nor Inspector Bernard w
Thompson, his chief assistant, would
support the theory of departmental
shake-up. However, the IA shifts since

many more.

Anticipating FiIibuStering
Tactics, She Is Expected
to Ask Limited Debate.
URGES ALL MEMBERS
TO ATTEND SESSION
Eight Other Measures Are on
House Calendar for District
Day.
BY JAMES f. CHINN.

House consideration Monday of the
Sisson bill providing for outright re-
peal of the so-called red rider" to
the 1886 District appropriation act
was assured today with an announce
ment by Speaker Byrns that the Dis
trict would not be robbed of another
regular day.
Immediately Chairman Norton Of
the District Committee and Represen-
tative SiSson. Democrat, of New York,
author of the measure, went into con-
ference to work out a program Of
strategy to meet certain opposition.
Anticipating filibustering tactics by
Representative Blanton, Democrat. of
Texas, sponsor of the red rider" to
prevent the bill from coming to a
vote Mrs. Norton is expected to ask
the House to limit debate to a reason
able period-two or three hours-with
the time equally divided between
proponents and opponents.
Urges Presence of Members.
Mrs. Norton also has written every
member of the House urging them to
be on the floor during the debate.
Each letter was accompanied by a
report on the result of the hearings
on the bill before the Judiciary SUBJ
committee of the District Committee.
In addition to the Sisson bill, there
are eight other District measures on
the House calendar, but they will not
be called up unless the red rider"
repeater is disposed Of in about four
hours.
Two of these bills Representative
Schultz, Democrat, of Indiana, is anx-
ious to have passed One would give
the Boxing Commission supervision
over wrestling matches. and the other
is designed to strengthen the Law
governing the sale and distribution
of narcotics.
Desires To Clear Calendar.
AS Monday probably will be the last
District day Of the present session of
Congress, Mrs. Norton desires to clear
the House calendar of all pending
District measures, but she does not
propose to jeopardize action on the
Sisson bill BY calling them up first.
Il shall do my best to have the
House repeal the red rider" and re-
store academic freedom to the class
rooms in the District public schools
said Mrs. Norton The Sisson bill
will DO nothing more than Ameri-
canize the schools. We have enough
confidence in our teachers to know
they will not indoctrinate the chill
dren with communism.
Let's fight communism with facts
not red riders"

HULL WILL RENEW
. PLEA FOR PROBE
OF CAR SERVICE
viii Lay Plan Before House
District Committee on
Wednesday.
BELIEVES INQUIRY
WILL BE AUTHORIZED
Schultz to Introduce Bill De-
signed to Give Every Car
and Bus Rider a Seat.

Representative Hull, Progressive, OF
Wisconsin, announced today be would
renew his plea for an investigation
system at a meeting of the House
District Committee next Wednesday.
In the meantime, Representative
Schultz, Democrat, of Indiana, said
he would introduce bill that he be-
lieves will guarantee a seat to every
car and bus rider. q. 1t will prohibit the
Capital Transit Co. from collecting
fares from passengers who are forced
to stand.
Hull's oiginal proposal for an ex-
haustive inquiry into the adequacy Of
motor bus and street car service was
not acted on by the committee two
days ago because of the absence Of
Chairman Norton. AS Mrs. Norton
expects to attend the meeting next
week, Hull said he believed the COM
mittee, with her approval, would au-
thorize the investigation.
After the committee declined to act
on the original request Hull requested
the Subcommittee on Streets and
Traffic to undertake the inquiry, but
its chairman, Representative Patman,
Democrat, of Texas, said he would not
have time before the adjournment of
Congress to start such comprehen-
sive job.
Hull hopes Mrs Norton will appoint
a special subcommittee to make the
inquiry. He realizes it cannot be COM
pleted before the adjournment of Con-
gress, but pointed out. if a start is
made, the ground work can be laid
for resumption of the investigation
when the new Congress convenes in
January.
Both Hull and Schnlte believe the
transit company has not taken proper
steps to provide adequate service.
They are particularly critical of the
overlooking of street cars and buses.
Schultz said his bill would remedy
that condition.

.SLATEDF0R ACTION
Fordham Road and Glover
Parkway Area Changes
to Be Weighed.

flats or apartment houses in a large
undeveloped track between Fordham
road and the District line. below
Massac husetts avenue, will be con-
sidered by the District zoning Com
mission at a public hearing at the
District Building June 3.
This is one of % proposed changes
in property classification scheduled
for action by the commission at the
hearing. The hearing docket Is one
of the heaviest in some time.
The commission itself is proposing
changing the classification of the
tract below Massachusetts avenue
from residential "a" 40 and 60-foot
height area to residential Are
stricted" 4O-foot height area. This
proposal was involved in a larger
item considered at the special hear
ing last month, when adjoining land
was restricted against apartments and
fats.
May Curb Encroaehment.
Two other changes are suggested
by the commission. In move to
eliminate some commercial areas be-
lieved not to be needed, it proposes
to place in the residential "a" CLASH
fication properties on the south side
of Conduit road between Foxhan road
and Elliot place and on the north
side between Foxhall road and the
boundary line of the first commercial
district near Forty-seventh place.
Commercial properties on the south
side of Conduit road at the corner
of Foxhall road and Elliot place
would be excepted.
Would Protect Parkway.
The other commission proposal is
to change to "A-reStricted" all prop

purpose would be to protect the Glover
Parkway from encroachment by fats

for allowing parking lot on the
northeast corner of Ninteenth and F

dental to first commercial area. This
change is said to have the agreement
of Secretary of Interior Ickes.
Proposed establishment of a park
ing lot on the northwest corner of
Newark street and Connecticut avenue
is involved in a requested coming
change for that property.
