J0BLESS PLEA
TO Be GIVEN
HOPKINS
Chief to Be Told
of Abuses BY Group
From Alliance

First-hand information of al
legged abuses in WPA projects and
practices will be presented to Ad-
ministrator Harry Hopkins this
afternoon by a grievance COM
mittee" of the workers Alliance of
America.
According to officials of the

The committee is to be COM
posed Of three delegates from each
State represented at the conven-
ton now being held in the audito-
rum of the new Labor Depart
ment Building on Constitution
Avenue.
ThreShed Out at Farley
The list of criticisms regarding
WPA and Federal relief practices
was drawn up two days ago after
all 900 delegates had had an oppor-
tunity to express their individual
views. It is believed the grievances
range from reduction in WPA
wages to dismissal Of relief work
erS.
Two days ago a committee Of
the alliance was unsuccessful in
an attempt to lay its problems
before Hopkins. Aubrey Williams,
assistant WPA administrator, Of
fered little assistance, the commit
tee stated. Hopkins, however, sent
NelS Anderson, WPA labor super
visor, to address the convention.
AnderSon'S remarks were unfavor-
ably received by the delegates, and
when the WPA representative Of
fered to answer questions regard
ing the Works Progress Admins
tration he was shouted down

Today'S early sessions were de-
voted to nomination of officers
and executive board members for

noon David LASER, Of New York,
incumbent national chairman, was
renominated unanimously for re-
election and w. K. Patrick, Of
Oregon, present life chairman,
was also unanimously nominated.

RABBI IS SUED
FOR $5O,0OO

Rabbi G. H. Silverstone was
sued in District Supreme Court to-
day by Albert Isaacson, 1886 Four
teenth st. N. W., for $4,000 for
alleged malicious prosecution.
IsaacSon, who is represented by
Attorney Saul G. Lichtenberg, was
arrested on a Police Court warrant
last August 10 charging him with
false advertising in allowing the
name Kosher" to remain on the
window of his meat market after
his permit to sell Kosher meat had
been withdrawn.
The charge was dismissed on a
demurrer to. the information filed
by Attorney Lchtenberg, who
claimed on behalf of his client
that although he had no permit
from his congregation to sell
Kosher meat, nevertheless the
meats he sold had been slaughtered
by a schochet, according to Hebrew
rites.
Named with Rabbi Silverstone
in the suit is his son, Joseph Silver
stone, 1888 Fourteenth st. Both
are accused of having caused
ISaacson'S arrest.

GOODS BUILD
RUSTIC BRIDGE

Goods at colleges are apt to do
many things besides study mathe-
matics and go on blind dates.
Sometimes, for instance, they
even build bridges.
Proof of the fact was given at
American University yesterday,
during the annual campus clean
up campaign in connection with
Arbor Day.
Several Of the fairer students at
the institution donned old clothes
to assist in the construction of a
rustic bridge in a woodland grotto
on the campus.
Among the temporary manual

are Kitty Taylor, Betty Ann

FULL CONTROL
GIVEN CITY
HEADS
Downtown Parking and
Pedestrian Bans
Are Planned

Blanket authority for the Dis
trict Commissioners to eliminate
parking in downtown Washington
and provide strict pedestrian con.
troll will be given under an amend.
ment to the District appropriation
bill, it was promised today.
The decision was made at o
meeting of the Senate District ap.
priations subcommittee when all
interested parties in the city were
called to explain difficulties in
handling the traffic load.
Anything They Want
At the conclusion of the meet
ing, Senator Elmer Thomas CD
of Oklahoma, chairman, stated
that because the Commissioner
on many occasions had told Con-
gresS that their authority was chal.
lenged he would grant them au-
thority to do anything they wanted
as long as the accident toll was
cut.
Although the details Of the dis
cussion were not made public, it
is understood that the Federation
Of Citizens Association approved
the parking ban and were opposed
by the Merchants and Manufac-
turerS Association. The District
Commissioners stated that the
proposition would relieve conges-
ton but declined to take the in.
itiative and left the matter en-.
tirely in the hands of Congress.
It was also suggested that q
strict pedestrian control be put
into effect and the Commissioners
said that it would be futile for
them to pass such a regulation I'm.
less they were given more police.
men to enforce it.
More Police
In this respect it was suggested
by several of the witnesses that
the police force be increased by
I25 motor cycle men and 100 to be
used in directing traffic.
At the outset it was made per.
fectly plain by the Commission
ers that they did not need any
additional authority since they
can promulgate the necessary
regulations under their present Of
flee. They indicated that they
were holding back because Of the
diverse opinions expressed by the
interested citizens Of the city and
because they feel additional men
are necessary if Stricter provisions
are to be enforced.
It was also suggested that Sc.
ries of magistrate courts be con.
Stituted to sit in the police pre-.
cinct stations and try petty cases;
that the Semi-annual inspection Of
automobiles be made a law; and
that the hours of the Federal EN-.
ployes be staggered over a larger
period.
Besides the Commissioners and
Traffic Director Van Duzer. rep
resentatives of the American Au.
tomobile Association, the Board
of Trade, the Federation Of Citi-
zens Association, the Keystone
Auto Club and several others
have been called as witnesses.

A JAPANESE SPY

Almost every nation maintains some
form of spy organization to ascertain what
other countries are doing in the way of
preparation for war. Occasionally spy
is caught and convicted but very rarely is
one definitely connected with the govern
ment which engaged him.
Quite unusual was the conviction of
Henry Thomas Thompson, ex-yeOman oil
the American Navy, for selling to the Jap
anese Government secret information
about the United States Navy. The testi-
mony in Federal Court i'll California
showed that Thompson gave information
to and received money from a Lieutenant
Commander of the japanese Navy
The evidence against Thompson was
complete. Records showed that he had re-
ceived between $500 and $500 month
and these sums came from bank ac
count of the Japanese Navy in a New
York bank as admitted by the japanese
teller of the Yokohama Specie Bank of
San Francisco. To make even more GER
tain the guilt of the defendant the prosecu-
ton submitted letter which had been
written by Thompson (but not mailed) to
acknowledgements Miyazaki, in
which the former American sailor resigned
from 1.-The service of your country and
stating that it was with regret that Il ten
der this resignation to the Japanese Gov
eminent"
In Japan it was admitted that there
was an officer i'll the japanese Navy by
the name of the one referred to in the
Thompson case, although the Japanese de-
MED any knowledge of the affair. There
can be no doubt however, it has been
shown without question that a Japanese
naval officer in this country has been
actually engaged in spying upon the AM
erican Navy. Only one case has been dis
covered but the possibility is that there
were others as we'll

THE STARS AND MANS DOUBT

Men have been pleased to public
themselves over the question of other
habltable worlds. Astronomers tell us
that, with the possible exception of Mars,
no visible star or planet can support life as
it exists on this earth
But, what do the astronomers know?
The extent of the vast spaces beyond the
Milky Way are, as yet, unexplOred, and
measured by distance incomprehensible
to the mind of men. Imagine, light-year,
the distance that light, travelling 1876, 173
miles per second, moves in a calendar
year, some 100000, 100000 miles, which
is the unit used to measure stellar space.
Think of distant stars, larger than our
sun, so far away that light takes million
years to come to us. Around them, con-
lectures astronomy, may revolve innumer-
able habitable globes, invisible planets
Certainly, myraids of stars exist, scat
tered through space so vast that man is
proud of wild guesses to estimate its ex-
tent and considers himself wise to have dis
covered it at all.
The marvel of the celestial universe is
not what astronomers, with wonderful in
genuity, have found out, nor what they
do not know but that men, in their hearts,
have said, There is no God"

sufficient to erect the desired dwell
ingS.
That the Administration has foun-
dered in its attempt to provide cheap
housing without making outright
grants to private builders, may Of
course be due in part to its inability
to charge a part of the construction
costs TO some other venture, as il is
presumably doing in developing cleo
tricity at water power sites. But, no
small part of the failure is attribute
bic to the severe and dictatorial terms
OF the contracts required Of private
enterprises. wishing to cooperate with
the Government, and to the unex-
pected municipal taxes which these
concerns have in some cases been as
SesSed.
Supposedly. government housing
plans are compromise between pub
lie and private interests, though the
extent to which this is really so
is questionable. According TO the
Wagner Bill, low-rent dwellings can
be built, as before. by limited-prof-
it Companies. Demonstration prof.
ectS can be built by the Govern
ment when so requested by private
ing for subsidies up to as per cent
of the costs. And. inasmuch as 60
year mortgages are to finance the bal
ance, the Government would enter the
real estate business for that length OF
time. To labor. prevailing rates OF
wages" are to be paid. no matter how
unreasonable they may be.
Finally. of course, the Bill provides
still another government bureau. four
members of which will be able to exc
out comfortable exiStences on paltry
salaries of $4,000 while serving the
poor. And. by spending another bill
lion dollars of the taxpayers money
during the next four years. this Hous-
ing Authority will be able to hold its
own in the bureaucratic contest OF
public spending and boon-doggling
now going on.
True it is that ten million families
require better quarters at the mo-
ment. anS about $4,000 homes will be
needed annually during the next ten
years. But the construction Of these
needed facilities does not depend upon
subsidies and more loans, or upon
adding another department to the al
ready numerous government housing
bureaus. Rather. it depends upon
keeping building costs and specifca-
tons down to what people in various
income groups can afford to pay. upon
reconditioning secondhand homes for
poorer families. upon raising personal
incomes by sane recovery measures.
and upon encouraging private enter
prise to enter upon a nationwide
building program in earnest.

Unfortunately after the bad.
President Roosevelt seems aware
that building costs are too high. He
has probably been told that private
enterprise might be able to build low
cost houses in quantity lots if exorbi-
tant wages and infiexible prices in the
building trades. graft and racketeer-
ing. and antiquated building laws
were eliminated.
In fact. any sensible person must
realize that, besides the risks of gov
eminent experimentation if long
term federal loans. outright grants,
and tax exemptions are used to pro-
vide low-rent houses, the investment
of private capital will be discouraged.
industrial expansion checked. and I'M
employment continued.
So far, the government has only
scratched the surface of slum clear
ance. OF its outlay of 100000, 600,
barely l/l0 has been spent for homes
built entirely under its own super
vision. The further truth is that ap-
proximately 2I3 of the tenant families
can pay monthly rents of no more
than S6.25 per room. and half of these
cannot expend in excess of S5.75. Yet,
rooms in Federally-sponsored build
ingS must rent for about twice these
amounts to cover the costs. Hence.
the Slums remain.
Furthermore. of the total Federal
disbursements and commitments for
housing. something like one per cent
has been made TO provide low-rent
structures. and at least SO per cent
has been used for financing mortgages.
