ARE SET
IN LUMP SUM QUIZ
D. C. Officials to Present
Plans to Fiscal Relations
Committee.
BY LANES E. CHM.

President ROOSeVeltS special F1Scal
Relations Investigating Committee
made arrangements today to give the
Commissioners and heads of the
various District government depart
ments an opportunity to present their
own plans for solving the perplexing
problem of what constitutes a fair
Federal payment toward municipal ex-
penses
Two special hearings were arranged,
one for the Commissioners and MAJ.
Daniel ]. Donovan, auditor and budget
officer and the other for department
heads.
The department heads were notified
to appear before the committee No.
vember z at 10 am. and the Com
missioners and Maj. Donovan at the
same hour November 81.
Follows Two-day Hearing.
The decision to hear the Commis-
sioners and department heads followed
a two-day public hearing last week at
which representatives of Washington
leading civic, business, labor and pro-
fessional organizations submitted a
mass of data showing the justification
for a substantial increase in the pres
ent Federal payment of $5,000,000.
The department heads already have
submitted to the committee approxi-
mately SO reports showing the cost to
the District of various services pro-
vided the Federal Government. The
committee, however, has explained
that the cost of the exchange Of serv-
ices between the Federal and District
Governments will not constitute an
important element in the formula 1t
proposes to work out for fixing an
equitable basis Of fiscal relations.
Work on New Reports.
The department heads, at the direc-
ton of the Commissioners, now are
working on supplemental reports to
justify the expenses of their particular
departments. The information is be-
ing gathered as a result Of remarks
made during the public hearing last
| week by Clarence A. Dykstra, city
manager of Cincinnati and one of the
committee members, indicating he be-
lieved some of the municipal expenses
here are excessive.
The supplemental reports will COM
pare the cost Of operating various de-
partments with similar departments
in cities of comparable size. Particu-
lar stress is to be laid on the quality"
- 49, n;c<r;nf corviner In ros,nnariSnn
with those of other cities.
Various sources Of information are
to be tapped for the comparative
study. Data is to be gathered from
the Census Bureau and research or
ganizations that have studied munich
pal government operating costs and
some of the department heads plan
to write directly to officials of other
cities.

PARIS, October 29-The Spanish
Embassy announced today it had con-
fidential information that a fleet OF
Italian submarines was awaiting SAIL
ing orders at Gaeta, Italy, to estab-
lish a blockade of the Catalonian
Coast and perhaps attack the Spanish
government stronghold.
An embassy spokesman, warning
that the civil war on the Iberian Pen
insula might at any moment break
out into a grave international conflict,
said the information came from "an
absolutely trustworthy source"
Subs Declared Camouflaged.
Eight submarines, he contended.
have been painted with the red and
gold colors of the Spanish insurgents
at Gaeta, which is 40 miles north
west of Naples.
I'VE do not know what pretext will
be used to put the feet into action"
said the spokesman, "but our in
formation is that the action will start
within a week"
The submarines may join in COM
bined sea and air attack on autono-
nous, government supporting Cata-
lonia, it was declared. President
Manuel Azana now has established
offices at Barcelona, capital Of the
region.
The Spanish spokesman also re-
iterated previous charges that Italy
had landed large number of troops
on the Balearic Island of Mallorca,
which, he said, may be destined for
use against Catalonia.
These troops, the spokesman charg-
ed, are supported by liz Italian air.
planes.
The first step in the campaign, he
predicted. would be an attempted
Italian blockade of the Catalonian
coast to keep provisions from reaching
Spanish government territory.
Thereafter, he said, an actual at
tack may be expected.
Asked what hope the government
forces have of defending themselves
against such an attack, the spokesman
replied:
I'VE can always be counted upon
to do our utmost"
Supported by Newspaper.
Earlier the newspaper rOeuvre said
Italy and Germany we're supporting
Spanish insurgent plans to attack
Catalonia. the second seat" Of the
Spanish Socialist government in case
Madrid falls.
The newspaper said preparations
| for the attack were being hastened
at Mallorca, largely supported by
Italian and, even German, forces,
with eight submarines ready to leave
Northern Italy for the Balearics. No
source was cited by the newspaper
as foundation for the reort.
1t also declared the insurgents had
recently received 112 bombing and
pursuit planes.

u. S. USES MORE
FLAXSEED THAN
FARMS PRODUCE

The increasing building activity
in the United States and the dee
mands of a critical public for the
very best in paints, enamels, and
varnishes. has developed an inter-
esting situation in the linseed oil
industry it is revealed in a publica-
tion just issued by the Giannini
Foundation of the University of
California.
The United States uses more
flaxseed-the linseed Oil source,
than it produces. This is true also
of California. In 1885 about Sd per
cent of the linseed Oil used here
came from outside the state. While
the freight rate differential on these
shipments is distinctly to the ad-
vantage of the California grower
the estimated 1886 flaxseed acreage
in the state has not greatly in
creased over 1885, although larger
production is expected
Various other drying oils appear
to be giving linseed oil some real
competition as a paint dryer. AL
though the actual consumption of
linseed oil has fluctuated in re-
sponse of conditions of prosperity
and depression, its consumption as
compared TO the total consumption

Thus linseed oil consumption in
1885 was almost up to the 1881
level, but it was only 81 per cent
of the total oil consumption for
the former year, as compared to 10
per cent for the year 1881. The

had the most rapid growth. The
ether oils have also increased, howl
ever Tung oil, for example. has
become increasingly important be-
cause of chemical qualities which
