BOUNDARY FIGHT
SENE IN CONGRESS
Chairman King of Senate District
Committee Disappointed
by Findings.

A battle at this session over the re-
cent report of the District Virginia
Boundary Commission appeared in
prospect today when Chairman King
of the Senate District Committee all
nounced he is dissatisfied with the
findings.
In recommending that the boundary
should be fixed at low-water mark on
the Virginia shore and run from head
land to headland, the commission de-
cided against the contention of the
Federal Government. The Government
holds the boundary should be the
high-water mark.
With steps already being taken fol
the introduction Of bill in the House
to ratify the commissions report, King
made known that he IS disappointed"
over the report, stating:
Il am studying the findings with
view to taking whatever steps are nee
essary to protect the interests of the
Federal Government and the District"
Senator King has conferred with
Corporation Counsel Prettyman and
with Government attorneys in the De-
partment of Justice regarding the ef-
fectS of the boundary report on the
Governments boundary claims.

Some well-informed authorities have
doubted that the securities end Of the
Morgan business could be as bare as
hinted in a recent column. A further
check at the registry off1ce here indi-
Gates that the name of the Morgan
Stanley Co. (Which is handling the
security end of the old business) has
appeared oftener than most firms on
recent registration applications. But
those highest inside the trade know
that these refunding issues are old
bones bearing little meat. The only
juicy morsel lately, 'tis said, was that
of a certain railroad which appears
to have been grabbed by Mr.. Jesse
Jones r. F. G. The truth still is
in that business.
Note-To keep the record
straight, the reason Dhy the J. P.
Morgan Bank is so bare is because
most of the clerks and some OF the
partners hare departed ,Uith the
securities end Of the business.
How Times Change.

letters to regional resettlement admin
istrators and failing to get response

One Congressman decided to in

Prot. Tug,0e:l had ordered all re-
otonnl administrators to send let

Sentdtiues to him here In Wash
tngton before replying.
Whether Tugwell wanted to satisfy
them or check up on their political
pressure, the Congressman do not
know. However, they are satisfied.
which is more than they were year

The Mayor-elect and Moore for days

no 1886 pay was provided. Moore,
with a few biting words, told Wilson
to take the responsibility himself.
And the excess men on the force

salary. which runs 1855 a week for

There is something about the State
Department which makes Congress-
men madder than they normally are.
The department thinks foreign affairs
should be completely free of Congress
sional log.rolling. The log-rollers
think those pink-tea diplomats in the
department are international fops.
Nearly all the inner crew agrees 1t
was a tactical error for the depart
ment to have LED the fight last session.
Compromise Sought.
What Mr.. Rooseuelt's Legislative
leaders haze in the back OF their
heads no1U is q compromise. Some
thing like this: Let Congress make
it mandatory that the President
apply embarooes against tOdrrino
nations, but permit him full dis
cretion as to Uhen Under the
present neutrality act. he is COM
PEELED to impose arms Gmbdrgoes
against both sides when the wdr
breaks out. Under the proposed
compromise he could hold of for
q Uhile.
For example, in case of war between
Britain and Italy. we could then re-
frain from imposing an embargo. This
would leave Britain free to buy here.
, The British fleet would see to 1t that
Mussolini failed to receive whatever
he bought. MusSolini would know
that. It is the executive theory that
therefore he would hesitate to start
a war. Also that our diplomatic
offices could thus be better used to
promote world peace.
You can bank on it that the ulti-
mate compromise will be something
along this line.

One of the choicest finds" In

Buddy played with Chattanooga
in 1885, hitting 1903, and fielding
like a fool at third base. The
Griffs brought him up for a short

handed him the regular third-base

Lewis is 20 years old. He at
