RELIEF hike

The District Commissioners will
appear before the Budget Bureau
this afternoon to urge the grant
ing Of a second deficiency appro-
priation Of $25S,O00 for relief
needs in the District for the bal
ance Of the fiscal year.
Three weeks ago the Commis-
sioners and the Board Of Public
Welfare asked for the additional
grant, but no action was taken
until today. when they were in
formed a hearing would be given
them on the matter.
The original estimate for relief
needs was $6OS.OOO. This was cut
by the Budget Bureau to $3.50 900,
but Congress raised the appropri-
alton 100000. AS a result of the
slash, $4,000 persons were dropped
from the relief rolls.
A number of other minor de-
ficiency items also will be taken
up at the hearing. including one
of $500 for operation of trucks
and ambulances at the dog pound.

WHITE HOUSE
RITES FOR
COL. HOWE
Funeral Tomorrow to
Be Marked ByGreat
Simplicity
BY EARL GOODWIN
BY EARL GOODWIN

Funeral services for Col. Louis
McHenry Howe, secretary to PreSi.
dent Roosevelt who died late
Saturday night, will be held in the
East Room of the White House
tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock.
There will be the regular funeral
ritual of the Episcopal Church,
of which Colonel Howe was a
member, and the Rev. DR.. C.
Ernest Smith, rector of st.
Thomas Episcopal Church. will
officiate.
Following the services in the
White House. the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by
Mrs. Howe and her two children,
Hartley Howe and Mrs. Mary
Baker. win take a special train
for Fall River. Mass. where the
interment will take place Wednes
day at 1880 a. m. In addition to
the families. the funeral party
will consist of certain other offic-
ials, including Stephen Early and
Marvin H. Mcintyre, although the
full details have not been agreed
upon.
The funeral will be marked
with great simplicity. The com,
plete arrangements, including the
selection of pail bearers, have not
yet been made, and viii not be
announced until later. as Mrs.
Howe has not been able to make
full decisions on many Of the
points to be considered.
Will Lie in State
The body Of the Presidents late
secretary and old friend will lie in
state in the East Room of the
White House from II o'clock to-
morrow until the services, but, so
far, there has been no announce
ment of an yother formality. The
fact that Colonel Howe was civilian
aide to the President while he was
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
would rate a naval escort, but
no such plan has been made so far.
Mrs. Howe and her son, Hartley
Howe, arrived in Washington from
Fall River, Mass. yesterday. Her
daughter, Mrs. Mary Baker. with
her husband, Prof. Robert Baker,
of the University of Illinois, are
expected to arrive here from Ur.
bana, Ill.,, tomorrow at 9 a. m.
So far there has been no other
announcement Of those who will
attend the services, although it
may be taken for granted that the
Presidents complete official staff
will attend the funeral and the
interment.,
Meantime, the President cut his
official duties to the necessary
activities, and the flag on the

MAPPED
TO REPEAL
RED RIDER
Kennedy Calls Farley
to Oppose Threat
Of FiIibuster

House leaders of the fight to re.
peal the Red rider" were called
into session today by Representa-
tive Ambrose ]. Kennedy Cd. OF
Maryland, chairman of the sub.
committee in charge Of the meas
ure, to map out the tactics they
will employ to guide the bill
through the House next Monday
Fearful that opponents of the
measure will resort to filibustering
and other dilatory tactics to pre-
vent the repeal bill from reaching
a vote, the Kennedy forces are
seeking to devise plans by which
they will be able to maneuver the
proposition through as rapidly as
possible.
Among those scheduled to at.
tend today's conference, beside
the Marylander, were Represents
tives Fred j. SisSon CD, Of New
York. author of the repeal bill;
Maury Maverick Cd, Of Texas;
Byron Scott CD, Of California; !;
Vito Marcantonio, and other mem
berS Of the House District Subcom.
mittee on Education, which han
died the bill.
Jenckes Not Invited
Although Representative Vir-
ginia E. Jenckes Cd. of Indiana,
is member Of the subcommittee,
she will not be invited to the con-
ference because of the vigorous
stand she has taken against the
measure.
More care in the handling of
this measure than nearly any
other the District Committee has
brought before the House this
year Is necessitated because of
the fact that there are expected
to be9n1iy three more District
days IN the House this session,
and unless the oppoSition's antici.
pated filibuStering can be curbed,
the bill would not reach a vote by
the end Of the session..
The repeal proposition has at
tracted more interest this session
than any other piece Of District
legislation. The Red rider was
attached to the District Appropri-
ations bill as a rider last year,
and some members of the House
have claimed that it was
"sneaked" through because it was
brought in during the last few
days of the session when con.
siderable confusion made it diff.
ficult to follow what was going
on.
School Board Doubted
After the rider became law,
members of the School Board were
not certain as to how it should be
interpreted, but this finally was
