DISTRICT POWERS
MAY Be W|DENED
Byrns Indicates Favor of
Greater Authority for
Commissioners.

Believing Congress is required to
give too much time to considering un-
important legislation for the District,
Speaker Bryns indicated yesterday he
would support bill to give more pow
ers to the Commissioners.
The Speaker pointed out that at
every session of Congress a score or
more minor bills are introduced in the
House and Senate to authorize some
relatively unimportant project in the
District which the Commissioners
should have the authority to handle.
He cited, for instance. bills to au-
thorize an oil company to lay pipe
line. to authorize the Commissioners
to name a street or the Health De-
partment to open a grave.
why should the time of Congress
be taken up with such minor details?"
Byrns asked. The Commissioners
should have the authority to handle
such affairs that involve purely a
municipal function.
THE House devotes only two days
a month to consideration of District
legislation, and I think that time
should be taken up with matters more
important than the laying Of pipe
line or the opening of grave"
Several times Congress has been
asked to enact legislation to broaden
the powers of the Commissioners, but
the proposal has never been acted on.
Byrns indicated it is too late in the
present session to attempt to get leg
islation through Congress to give the
Commissioners the authority he be-
lieves they should have to prevent the
deluge of minor bills. He feels, how
ever, that steps should be taken early
in the next session to have such legis
lation enacted.

Victory in November Will

II the Republicans oust the New
Deal in November they will still find
themselves with a number of rented
buildings on their hands here. hous-
ing various agencies set up during the
Roosevelt administration.
The division of Government space
control has notified practically all
Washington landlords concerned that
the Government proposes to continue
renting present quarters during the
coming fiscal year. There is, however,
in many of the leases, a 30-day can
collation. clause.
AS a result of the decision to con-
tinue renting buildings the Works
Progress Administration will remain as
a tenant in the Mclean mansion at
Fifteenth and I streets, the Rural Re-
settlement Administration. in another
Mclean holding. the old Walsh home
at TWenty-first street and MaSSachu-
setts avenue; the Federal Trade Com
mission will retain quarters in the
Rochambeau, the Rural Electrifcation
Administration will continue in the
spacious residence at Twentieth street
and Massachusetts, avenue and the Ru-
raj Resettlement Administration in
the Arlington Hotel
While this is good news to the land
lords, the employees of the buildings
branch do not receive such glad It'd
ings, for instead of receiving IS days
pay for the latter part of May the
funds on hand are sufficient to pay
only five days. Charles A. Peters, jr.,
assistant director in charge of the
buildings branch, said that 1t is
contemplated that checks will be ready
for delivery on Monday afternoon, June
l. 1886. to cover the period May Is to
20, inclusive" Using up the funds in
renting buildings and other emergency
moves is held responsible.
Provision is being made in the first
deficiency bill, now pending in Con-
gress, for funds for the remainder of
this fiscal year. But if-for any rea-
son--this measure is not passed, the
workers will be without any pay dur
ing June, If the session is prolonged.

FUTURE VETERANS"
ARE SEEN MISLED
Van zandt Says Student Units
Used as Tools of Economy
League.
BY the Associated Press.


Comdr. James E. Van Zandt of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars asserted
yesterday that the Collegiate Veterans
of Future Wars "are being used as
the tools of ridicule by the American
Veterans Association, a child of the
National Economy League"
eff these boys really want to do
a job," he added, we'd appreciate
it if they'd join with us in our ef-
forts to keep this country out of war.
"If they want to eliminate bonuses
in the future, they could find no
better method than to assist us. be-
cause when wars are eliminated there
will be no more bonuses.
Their efforts to ridicule the
American veteran are without doubt
hindering our efforts to enact neu-
trality legislation that will stop war,
but as far as the country is con-
cerned they aren't getting to first
base. They're just big joke to
the average citizen"

TRANSPORTATION,
TRAINING SCHOOL
PROBES PLANNED
House subcommittee Due
to Start Inquiries This
Week.
PATMAN, MRS. NORTON
ARE TO HEAD GROUPS
Overlooking of Busses and Street
Cars Condemned by Wiscon-
sin Representative.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Investigations of the mass tranSpor-
tation system and the National Train
ing School for Girls probably will be
started this week by subcommittee of
the House District Committee.
The dual inquiries were authorized
last week by the District Committee.
The Transportation Subcommittee,
headed by Representative Patman,
Democrat, of Texas. will check up on
the bus and rail service to determine
whether the Capital Transit Co is
doing its utmost to meet public needs.
The investigation of the National
Training School for Girls will be made
by a special subcommittee of which
Representative Norton, Democrat, of
New Jersey. is chairman. Mrs. Norton
also is head of the full District Com
mittee.
Eager to Prove Theory.
Patman said yesterday he had not
yet had time to map out plans OF
procedure for the investigation of the
transportation system. but indicated
he was anxious to get started so he
could prove his theory that inadequate
service lowers the efficiency of the
Government.
The transportation inquiry was ini-
tiated by Representative Hull Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin one of the
severest critics of the rail and bus
service on the District Committee. Hull
particularly condemns the overlooking
of busses and street cars.
The present prospect Of Congress
remaining in session until July will
give the subcommittee more time to
devote to the investigation than had
been anticipated. Hull was fearful
that if the original tentative plan of
leaders to have Congress adjourn not
later than June was carried out, the
subcommittee would be unable to do
more than scratch the surface"
Schultz Plans Bill.
Irrespective of the developments in
the transportation inquiry, Represent
ative Schultz, Democrat, of Indiana,
another critic of the rail and bus serv-
ice, plans to introduce bill designed
to provide a seat for every passenger.
The measure, he said, will prevent the
transit company from charging q
standee a fare.
The investigation of conditions at
the training school will be made with
view to determining needed physi-
cal Improvements at the institution
The 1887 District appropriation bill,
now deadlocked in conference, con-
tains an item of 100000 for improve
mentS at the school,
Representative Carpenter, Demo-
crat, of Kansas, proposed the inquiry
at the training school after pointing
out that Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
had visited the institution and found
conditions that shocked her.
Mrs. Norton and other mefihers of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
Hull-proba bly, will visit the school
sometime this week, and prepare a
report containing recommenda tions
believed to be necessary to make the
institution a model for training de-
linquent girls.
