SENATE GROUP
EXPECTED TO
HEED PLEA
Texan Seeks an Hour
To State His Views
On Funds Slash

Eager to drive home the point
on which he personally caused
the District budget estimate to be
slashed in the 1887 appropriation
bill, Representative Thomas L.
Blanton DI Of Texas today made
the unprecedented request for an
hours time before the Senate sub
committee now considering the
bill.
Although the Texas Congress
man will be appointed a conferee
on the bill when it has been passed
by the Senate, it was learned to-
day that in order to carry out his
threat against the District he
made the request.
Although no time has been set
his appearance it was expected
that he will be allowed to appear.
Hear Five Pleas
AS the hearing continued today
the Senators heard pleas from five
District department heads to re-
store the estimate which the Texan
had cut.
The offices which were con-
sidered are.
Recorder of Deeds, disallowed
$1,000 for five positions.
The Public Library, disallowed
$4,000 for one junior librarian. In
this instance the House added
$4,000 to begin construction of
the Petworth branch library on a
site adjacent to Roosevelt High
School. Justification for this item
also was presented.
The street and road Improve
ment section of the bill discussed
today contained an item Of $780,
600 to begin replacement Of the
superStructure on Chain Bridge.
Highway officials explained that
the recent flood made it even
more dangerous for travel than
before.
Van DuZer Heard
The Sewer Department, which
was one of the hardest hit items
in the bill, was given attention,
and pleas were made to return
$33, 1872. cut by the House.
Today's first hearing ended with
the testimony Of william A.
Van Duzer, Traffic Director. The
House in this instance denied
5000 for the hire of four addi-
tional clerks.
The subcommittee continued its
nearing at 2 p. m.
Although the District Commits
sioners explained the general
scope of the bill to the Subcom-
mittee yesterday no mention was
made of the fact that the House
had cut the Federal lump sum
contribution $3,000,000. An effort
will be made to have this restored
before the hearings end. The
funds for each of the offices to
come Under consideration today
have been cut by the House and
pleas will be made to restore tht
amounts.

PARKING CASES
T0BE PUSHED
BY POLICE
Warrants to Speed
Trial Of l,5O0 on
Winter Violations

Acting to hasten trial in Traffic
Court of more than 1900 pending
cases of violation Of special winter
parking laws, Assistant Corpora
tion Counsel George Nelson today
asked Captain Milton D. Smith,
commanding officer Of the Traffic
Division, to see that warrants in
the cases "are served as rapidly
as possible"
This move followed decision
by the Corporation Counsel's
office to seek final determination
Of the status Of the special regu-
lations, in effect on numerous
streets between January l and
March /, designed to facilitate
snow removal.
Judge Gus A. Schuldt's ruling
last week that the regulations
were of an emergency nature and
his dismissal Of test case on the
grounds that no emergency ex-
listed when no snow cluttered the
streets, is challenged by Mr..
Nelson and Acting Corporation
Counsel Vernon West.
The 1,500 cases were held up
pending the test case. Violation
of the regulations involves a
usual penalty Of a IS fine. al
though the law provides for a
maximum penalty of $500 or 10
days in jail or both.
Mr.. Nelson said today that he
does not expect any other Traffic
Court judge to reiterate the opin-
ion handed down by Judge
Schuldt. He added that II a
judge expresses doubt over the
regulation, he will request quash-
ing of the information and take
another test case to the Court Of
Appeals.
It is understood that Captain
Smith will take the matter up i'm
mediately with Major E. L. Brown
and Inspector Benjamin Lamb to
expedite serving Of the warrants.

Says:

In answer to the deluge Of
charges concerning graft in the

finally going to support a Sena-
tOrial investigation of the whole
affair Well, / can't see why
they call it graft and cOrrup-

so much more amusing.
Now, what will be interesting
to see is whether the RepubIi-
cans have as much fun investi-
eating the WPA as the Demo
Gratis did with Teapot Dome.
OF course, when it comes to
getting any actual results, I
think you'll find those investi.

do.
