sound health.

Extension of Prospect Street
To Relieve NJ Street Congestion.

A MONG a number of merito-
rious measures pending before
the District Committee of Congress
is a bill to provide for the ex-
tension Of Prospect street in the
District, and for other purposes.
This bill was introduced by Sen
ator Capper on April and is now
pending before the Senate District
Committee. 1t authorizes the con-
domination of land for the extern
sion of Prospect street from Wis
consin avenue to Thirtieth street
for width of not more than 10
feet. The extension would bisect
squares 1903 and 1909. The bill
also provides that the name of
Olive street, which runs from
Twenty-seventh to Ihirtieth streets,
be changed to Prospect street, as
its location and direction is in di-
rect lire with Prospect street, when
extended.
This proposal has been sup
ported vigorously for number of
years by the Georgetown Citizens
Association. 1t is regarded as a
much needed relief for the badly
congested NJ street. Prospect street
is located just about half way be-
tween NJ and N streets.
The highway plans provide for
the continuation of Prospect street
westward, skirting the south
boundary of Georgetown University
property and forming junction
with Conduit road at its intersec-
ton with Foxhall road. The eX-
tension of Prospect street will also
merge with the proposed Potomac
avenue which parallels the canal
and the river about midway be-
tween the Canal road and Conduit
road.
It Is not known whether this
legislation has any chance of en-
actment before the end of the
present Congress, but it is recog-
nized in civic circles as a project
for which there is a real public
need. The pending bill authorizes
appropriation out of the revenues
of the District for such an amount
as may be necessary to pay the
cost and expenses of the condem-
nation proceedings and the pay
ment of awarded damages. The
condemnation jury is authorized to
assess benefits upon such land as
they may find to be benefited.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
D. c. Bill Passes Senate-Prosbects Dim for
District Legislation-National Representation
Plank in Party Platform.

trict Committee, has become thor
oughly converted to the doctrine Of
national representation for the Dis
trict. Civic leaders have been i'm
pressed from the beginning of Mrs.
Norton's services as chairman, with
her earnest desire to obtain the
enactment Of District legislation.
She has related to many her dis
appointments and discouragements
in attempting to attain this end.
These experiences have deepened
her conviction that the people Of
the District will never be treated
fairly in Congress until they have
their own representatives to battle
for their rights. She now proposes
to make an earnest effort in the
approaching National Democratic
Convention to obtain the adoption
of District national representa-
ton plank in the platform.
For a number of years the Cit
liens Joint Committee on National
Representation has endeavored,
with the cooperation of proni-
nent local Democratic and Re
publican members, to have such
District plank adopted. The mat
ter has never been advanced any
further than the presentation and
discussion Of the proposal in the
Committee on Resolutions. Several
times District delegates at these
national conventions have been en-
couraged to believe that they would
succeed, only to lose out in some
way in the Resolutions Committee.

Motion Picture Review Committee
Appointed By Petworth President.

EARL w. COPPER, president OF
- the Petworth Citizens Associa-
ton, at the request of the manager
Of the Colony Theater, has ap-
pointed a committee to review mo-
ton pictures. This committee con-
sists of Mrs. Edith L. Phelps, chair
man; Mrs. Estelle Schwartz and
Mrs. Harvey o. Craver. 1t is I'M
derstood that particular attention
Is to be given to the type Of pictures
to be shown to children on Satur-
day afternoons.
There has been considerable dis
cussion and criticism from time to
time in some of the civic organiza-
tons regarding motion pictures
suitable for children, but no definite
results were apparent. There Is
considerable qualification expressed
by Petworth citizens over this evil
dence of a desire for practical CO.
operation.

Juvenile Court Bill Changes Status
But Makes No Progress.

THE bill to modernize and hu-
mamie Juvenile Court proce-
dure has been for some time pend
ing before the Judiciary Subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee. There has been no hearing
or consideration of the measure,
which has been turned back to the
full committee without recommen-
dalton. It is understood that the
committee will decide upon some
method of handling the matter at
its regular meeting on Wednesday.
This bill as originally proposed
met with some technical objections
which have been overcome. The
bill has had very general indorse-
ment by civic organizations. 1t
was drafted by the Committee of
Voteless District of Columbia
League Of Women Voters, which
organization has been most active
in urging its enactment. All the
organizations especially interested
in child welfare recognize the
urgent necessity for this legisla-
ton, as the District is very far be-
hind most other jurisdictions in the
handling of juvenile cases.
With the end of the Seventy
fourth Congress so near and the
great difficulty in obtaining con-
sideration of any District legisla-
ton, proponents of this measure
very much fear that it will be
caught in the jam and die with
the Congress. Civic leaders an
nounce their intention to keep up
the fight until the last moment.
In this they have been assured OF
the practical support Of Chairman
Norton of the House District Com
mittee.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 7
G.N.S0.-Within a fortnight Gov.
Frank F. Merriam will make a
nationwide radio address at Los
Angeles urging members Of the
Townsend party to register as Re
publicanS and asking that Repub-
licans support the pension plan,
it was learned from authoritative
sources here today.
Merriam's address Is expected to
head off third party or place the
executive at the head Of one if it
is formed. political observers be-
ieve.
One source stated the nation
wide speech already is prepared
and will point out that Townsend
followers need the Republican
party for financial stability and
that the Republican party needs
the Townsend plan for social Sc
curity.
The address also will intimate
that neither the Republican party
nor Townsend followers are strong
enough to defeat the Democrats
without combining forces, it was
learned.

ice RAIL FARE
DECISION DUE

1mGefMAE1O@0A news SeFv1c9
An early decision as to passen-
ger fares on the railroads will be
made by the 1CC, it was an.
nounced today in its annual re-
port.
It has gone very thoroughly
into the situation and while
Southern and Western roads have
been quite successful with expert
mental reduced fares, Eastern
carriers are still maintaining
their basic fares of SO cents per
passenger mile in coaches and
Pullman cars, together with q
Pullman surcharge which is equiv
liant to about 0.5 cent per mile.
The Commission recommended
the Interstate Commerce Act be
amended to include the power to
regulate minimum rates Of water
carriers otherwise within its juris-
diction.
The Commission also recon-
mended further statutory provi.
SionS be enacted to protect en-
ployeS from undue financial loss
as a consequence of authorized
railroad abandonments or unfit
cations found to be in the public
interest, or otherwise lawfully
effected. - ------

but 1t will take q strong hand to
keep that majority in line for any
single plan, and each Member
undoubtedly will be assailed by a
score Of plans from as many diff.
ferent sources.
Immediate Answer
It will be an almost immediate
answer to the Presidents question
in his address ION the state of the
union" in which he told the coun.
try that if the opposition had a
better plan-let it be produced
now.
The country will not be let into
the secrets Of the Presidents
mind or emotions as it was when
he commented so frankly and so
publicly to a press conference on
the subject Of the MIRA decision.
There probably will be no refer.
ence to "the horse and buggy
days. :"
A White House spokesman
made it clear that there would be
no announcement on AAA until
the whole matter had been
threshed out behind the closed
doors of the Presidents office
with his legal and agricultural ad.
viserS.
Farm leaders here have given
the impression that if the court
made it impossible for farmers to
enjoy that parity of prices
whereby to get what they claim is
a purchasing power equal to the
city workers, that a political revo.
luton would occur; that an
amendment to the Constitution
would be initiated and carried
through. If so, the present indi-
cations are that this would start
with the farmers.
Political observers here do not
look for the President to start
this bit Of fireworks-but there is
no way to assay the truth Of any
