CITY OFFICIALS
ALSO IN PLEA
AT CAPITOL
Commissioners Told
They Cannot Aid
at Present Stage

Citizens of Washington and the
District Commissioners appeared
simultaneously on Capitol Hill to-
day to fight for balanced budget
for the city in 1887.
Although the two groups worked
Independently of each other, they
arrived at the same time at the
office of Senator Elmer Thomas
CD of Oklahoma, chairman Of
the Senate conferees, with the
same basic objective in view.
The three Commissioners, ac-
companied by District Auditor
Daniel Donovan, sought the advice
of Senator Thomas on what steps
they could take to insure enough
funds to carry on the city's ex-
penses. Tney had in mind a direct
appeal to President Roosevelt.
Warned by Thomas
Senator Thomas cautioned
them against this step on the
ground that it should be taken
in an orderly manner by the ma
jority leader of the Senate if the
House convened Monday with the
determination not to compromise
on the appropriation bill, which
is now in a deadlock.
Senator Thomas said at the
conclusion of his conference with
the Commissioners that there
was nothing they could do at
the moment and that they must
simply wait developments.
The citizens group, represented
by Thomas E. Lodge, president of
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations; Harry N. Stull, vice preSi-
dent, and L. A. Carruthers, chair
man of the fiscal relations COM
mittee, was more militant. They
made personal visits to the offices
of the Vice President, the Speaker
of the House, Senator Thomas,
and Representative Mary T. Nor.
ton CD of New Jersey, chairman
of the House District Committee,
with a petition pleading for
passage of an appropriation bill
instead of a continuing resolu-
tion.
At the same time they dropped
into the mail a copy of the petit
ton addressed to each member Of
the House and the Senate. Later
today they will present the petit
tion at the White House and send
a telegram to President Roosevelt
asking for his help.
List Is Included
The petition contains a de-
tailed list of the improvements
and items they consider necessary,
amounting to $6,974,800, which
would be slashed from the city
budget if a continuing resolution
were passed.
At the conclusion of these con.
ferenceS, Senator Thomas ex.
pressed an optimistic view of the
situation. He said he believed the
House leadership on Monday
would be willing to ask President
Roosevelt for his views on the
matter and act accordingly. The
President already has indicated
that he favors $5,7O0,000 lump

Rhine Move Seen As Club To Force Britain, France
 In Trade Pact With Reich
Also (Says Paris) Nazis Want West Frontier Guarded When They Expand" Eastward

, that their French frontier must be protected. Germany doesn't want to be caught in a pinchers. Therefore rises the need to erect strong barrier op the Rhine, to parallel Frances famous "Magi- not line" If French defenses are impregnable, 50 should new Ger man defenses be, 1t is argued Then France could not rush to the protection of her middle -Eu- ropean protegees when Hitler starts his eastward push.
 Germany's Demands
 On the economic side, the case is more complicated. Germany has but three per cent gold coverage for her money. Her allegiance to the gold standard is thus purely artificial. But as long as the money of France and England is better money, Germany is at 8 disadvan- tage in commerce. Also French and British nationalist restrictions to trade work to Germany's disadvan- tage.
 It is Germany's desire-blandly expressed by German representa- tives to an economic conference in Paris recently-to demand Q new economic deal from France and Britain, based on a new An- glo-Franco- Germanlc unit of in- ternational money, and with new three-way arrangement for trade. Tn other words, Germany is ready to demand: "You--France and Britain-must pull us out of our economic morasC. You must lend us money and give us facilities for trade. Otherwise we will go to war with you"
 The desire to do little eco- homie blackmailing has now been posed by Germany's entry into the Rhine country. The threat has been already made. Remains to Hdo the deap which would yank Germany's tottering economies back to prosperity.

country, except in the exeremely hot regions.
 These flowers come in a very wide range of form, color, and types. You may now obtain not only the large lowered varieties suitable for exhibition, but also more bush like forms which may be used to fill in the perennial border, or which may even be used in tk, flower bed in place of gera- niums.
 Culture of the plants is relative ly simple. They require a we'll drained soil which retains mois- ture. Have a good supply of or- ganic matter in the soil to retain moisture during dry seasons, and before planting broadcast good potato or other vegetable fertilizer over the surface at tn crate of one pound to 40 square feet. Cultivate this fertilizer well into the soil.
 Planting may be done when con- ditions are suitable for setting out tomato plants in the vegetable gar- den.
 Either roots or geen plants may be used for planting. Only a single root with piece of the old stem attached should be plant cd, and usually 1t is best to place it horizontally.

 Paris, March 26.-The basic strategy of Adolph Hitler's brusque move into the Rhineland resolves it. self, according to Paris opinion, into two clements.
 First, to bar the way to French invasion, if and when Germany may start campaign against Austria and Czechoslovakia, her real objective.
 Second, in view of Germany's frightful financial straits, with in- dustry, freezing up and national economy approaching collapse, to try, somehow, in the course of negotiations following her Rhine land move, to force Britain and France to reach a new economic agreement with her.
 Follows Hitler Greed
 The need for territorial expansion has always been one of the rockbot- tom tenets of the Hitler creed Ex- pansion must naturally be eastward, among the German-speaking peo- ples of middle and eastern Europe.
