VIRGINIA VOTES
BILLBOARD CURB
House Ballots IS to rs.
School Bond Bill Passed
Unanimously.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.
Y a STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, February 90
Rapidly gaining strength over a SINH
lar measure passed at the last session,
the billboard bill was passed in the
House of Delegates yesterday, IS to Is.
At the same time the House passed
the Arlington County school bond bill
unanimously.
The billboard vote was the most de-
cisive In the many years during which
the Garden Clubs and other organiza-
lions seeking roadside beauty have
been fighting for the legislation.
The vote on the bond issue also was
unexpected, since the measure is
Statewide and several delegates had
asserted their boards of supervisors
had written them in opposition. All
told Delegate William D. Medley of
Arlington County, however, they did
not wish to oppose measure so badly
needed in his county.
Highway Commission Rules.
Considered the most reaching of
any billboard legislation yet passed in
this State, the bill gives control of
signs to the State Highway Commits
sion. Under the previous act permits
were issued by county clerks.
While numerous concessions were
made to small merchants, hotels per-
sons engaged in selling products raised
at the place where sold, and operators
of scenic caverns, the bill strictly regu-
lates the billboard industry, imposing
an annual license fee of $100 on those
engaged in that business.
Advertisers Assessed.
It prohibits the erection of any signs
resembling official traffic signs. In
addition to license fees, advertisers
will be required to pay permit fees
of SO cents for the smaller signs and

rejected Hauptmann's appeal for
clemency on January II.
That new evidence will be dis
covered.
Facts Against Hauptmann.
In the scale against these hopes
lie:
The statement of the Governor that
he will not grant second reprieve
unless Attorney General David T..
Wilentz agrees to 1t, and the doubt
that Wilentz will agree since he held
the January l6 reprieve to be illegal
and said that he would oppose further
delays unless circumstances war
ranted it.
The unlikelihood that the Court of
Pardons will be called unless "un-
usual" new evidence is discovered.
And the apparent sterility Of the re-
opened investigation.
Gov. Hoffman, who has held to the
belief that Hauptmann had accom-
plices, said yesterday there was moth

ports made to him by Col H. Norman

Plans to Make
 Philippine Isles Invasion Proof
Major General Douglas Macarthur Getting
 Ready for 1945

MANILA May 30.-Plans to make the Philippine Islands virtually in vasion proof" with a fleet of tiny high speed fighting craft and rel atively large but fast moving army reserves. was revealed by Major General Douglas Macarthur, when the Philippines become an Inde- pendent Republic after 1945.
 Major General Macarthur said there would be an offshore patrol Of fifty to a hundred small defense ships capable of making fifty to sixty miles an hour, four hundred thousand trained army reserves, a 250 plane air force, and a compara- lively small standing army. In 30 years he added there would be one million two hundred thousand army reserves.
 With leadership such as af- forded President Quezon, these Is- lands will become a great nation, the Orient's gateway to the Far East. Their natural position will make them easy to defend, and costly to invade" Macarthur said.

Congressional Independence Hints Passiueness May End
 If ROOseueIt Wins Election
By BYRON PRICE CChtef of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

The closing days of the Congress ional session are developing some interesting signs of independent thinking on Capitol Hill It can not be said that President Roose- gelt's leadership has disappeared, nor does it ever appear that he will lose many, if any. of the remaining major legislative battles of the ses- sion.
 What has happened with respect to the tax bill and other things IS notable chiefly for what it may mean in the more distant future, should MT. Roosevelt be reelected.
 A President serving a first term md one serving a second term are swo entirely different figures in politics. It is not uncommon for Congress to take the ball away from a Chief Executive it knows will not come up again as a candidate. That happened to Theodore Roose- lelt, and to Woodrow Wilson.
 A tendency toward Congressional initiative is apparent in the Byrd urvey of the possibilities of gov ,rnmental reorganization: one out ,ome might be wholesale scaling town of the alphabetical agencies. On the heels of this move comes a House proposal to make all of the spending agencies answerable to Congress, in detail, after the middle of 1887.
 The whole future of history making at Washington may depend on the extent and persistency of this tendency in the Congressional session which follows this years election
