4O-H0UR WEEK
PROTESTED

Emphatic protest against a bill
now pending in the House
through which the working hours
of women in the District would
be limited to 40 a week, was
voiced i'll a letter received today
by Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
from the Laundry-Dry Cleaning
Owners Association of the Dis
trict.
The letter, signed by John w.
Lowe, president of the associa-
ton, informed the commissioner
that approximately 80 per cent of
all laundry employees are women
and "our industry is one of the
largest employers Of female labor
in the District" The letter says:
eff compelled to operate I'M
der a 4O-hOur law, in cOmpeti-
ton with plants operating in
Maryland and Virginia where
the hours are 81 to so, reSpec- :
lively, an irreparable injury will
result. The outside plants Of
which we speak draw a large
percentage Of their present vol
ume from the District of Co
lumbia. AS q matter of fact,
competition is already being Of
fered by a plant in Baltimore"
Mr.. Lowe declared annual gross
receipts Of all plants approx
mated 100000 a year, with
wages between $3,500,OO0 and $4,-
100000. In the event the 40-hour
week became law, the letter said,
the industry would have no alter
native than to reduce wages
drastically, and even this de-
crease in operating cost would
not wholly recompenSe the plants
for disruption of service SEIZED
ules, customer dissatisfaction and
public inconvenience"

ELECTRIC RATE
CUT ARGUED
AT HEARING
Return Of 8 Per Cent
For Company Urged
By Counsel

Proposal to cut the Potomac
Electric Power Company's 7 per
cent minimum rate of return, al
lowed under the present sliding
scale arrangement, entered the
final stages today before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission as oppoS-
ing counsel presented final argu-
mentS.
Immediately following the close
of this inquiry, the commission
and company Immediately will
open another on the rates to be
charged consumers during 1886
by the company. Thus far the
consumer is assured his bills will
be cut by $84,585-representing
half the excess profits over 7
per cent earned by the company
in 1885.
Further Cut Possible
However, there is a possibility
that a further cut may be made
if the commission decides to follow
the proposal Of several witnesses
and reduce the rate baSe-now eS-
timated at approximately $70,000,-
000-through a different method
of calculating value of retired
property. Witnesses for the COM
mission estimated if such a
method were followed the rate
base could be cut some $4,000
while the company itself indicated
it would stand for cut of $780,
900.
Peoples Counsel William A. Rob
erts opened the closing arguments.
He reiterated his views expressed
at the opening Of the hearing and
contended the cofnpany's rate Of
return should be cut to 6 per cent.
Believes Court Would Approve
He pointed out that when the 7
per cent return rate was approved
by the court in 1882, the court
held this was reasonable and 1t
was possible the court would have
held a 612 per cent return rate
reasonable at that time.
william NICK. Clayton, repre-
senting the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, united with
Mr.. Roberts previously in asking
the cut of 6 per cent. Assistant
Corporation Counsel Hinman D.
Folsom argued the record of the
hearing was filled with ample evil
dence to warrant a cut in the re-
turn rate although he did not
favor any specific percentage of
reduction.
S. R. Bowen, counsel for the
company, defended the present
rate of return allowed the COM

IN TRAFFIC
CONTEST
Decline in Death Rate
Hope of National
Safety Drive

Confronted with a 100 per cent
increase in traffic fatalities over
last year the District of Columbia
today entered the National Traffic
Safety Contest for 1886.
Inspector Benjamin A. Lamb,
traffic supervisor of the Metropoli-
tan Police Department, today re-
ceived confirmation of Washing
tons enrolment from the National
Safety Council in Chicago, III.
More than 800 cities are taking
part in the drive to reduce traffic
fatalities 35 per cent by 1941, thus
saving $4,000 lives. Washington
thus far has Is deaths recorded,
with $50 persons injured since
January /. Last year seven per-
sons died in traffic accidents for
the same period.
The contest efforts will center
on holding the motor vehicle death
rate down to a minimum and re-
ducing it from the average Of the
past three years. To accomplish

Brown, superintendent of police,
indicated the law enforcement ma
chine will take on new life.
The District already has cur
tailed speeding by indefinite sus-
pension of driving permits for
second offenders.
Chief among the activities
planned are the promotion of
child safety education and school
boy patrols, and a 12-month cam
paign of public education stress
ing the responsibilities Of motor
lists and pedestrians.
Inspector Lamb today declared:
I'VE cannot possibly make .
showing through the efforts Of
few. The police win do every
thing in their power, bat it is
up to the citizens to do their
part. Reduction of traffic acct
dents is the duty of every man,
woman and child"

CAPITAL WAITS
2DAYS' SNOW

With the back of the cold wave
broken, Washington today was
confronted with the prospect of
two days of snow.
The mercury this morning drop
ped to a low of IA degrees, then
started to rise slowly, standing at
II at 8 o'clock. Snow was SEIZED
uled to start falling this after
noon and to continue throughout
tomorrow.
But the Weather Bureau is
afraid that after the snow ends
a new cold wave now brewing in
the Canadian Rockies, may sweep
down on the District and send the
mercury down around zero again.

AL Smith certainly batted a

up a large score against the
New Deal Administration. =.
The Smith a mighty man is
he with large and inSinuating

In referring to the New
Deals radical principles, AL
asked. "What happens to the

Jackson and Cleveland?" Well,
he's got us there; we don't
even know what happened to
the disciples of Hoover.
Reports say that while it's
certain that Mrs. Roosevelt

the President did stay home
with a small group of men. D..
Sounds like a stag at bay.
1t was also noticed that the
ex-governor pronounced radio
in the usual way, instead of
his old "raddiO.". Guess he
figured that if the Supreme
Court could throw out three

to drop a 3D."
There was some debate as to
why this Jefferson Day din.

comparison to the recent Jack.

so dollars The only explana-

H|SSTAND
Commission Chairman
Asked to Explain
Insinuations'

A flat denial that his position
on the boundary dispute is based
on the fact that he is lin an en-
barrassing position representing
influential constituents who are
demanding all that they can get
from the public treasury" was is
sued today by Representative How
ard Smith Cd of Virginia.
The charge against the Vir.
GINA Representative was made
during the hearing on the District
Virginia boundary controversy be.
fore the House Judiciary Commit
tee last week by Frederic A. Del
ano, chairman of the National
Park and Planning Commission,
which is fighting the Virginians
on the boundary controversy.
Condemns DelanO Statement
Taking the witness stand before
the Judiciary Committee today,
Representative Smith condemned
the Park and Planning Commits
sion chairman's statement in
which it also was charged that if
the boundary commissions recon-
mendations were approved by Con-
greSS, thousands of dollars"
would go to a small group of
men" in Virginia. Mr.. Smith told
the committee:
Il ask him (DelanO) to state
clearly for the benefit OF the
committee and me:
II. Who are this small group
Of men to whom the Govern.
ment will have to pay thousands
of dollars?
"2. What specific pieces of
property will the Government
be required to pay for, and why?
ASKS ABOUT INSINUATIONS
SO. What is meant by the in
situations as to the property
owners method of acquiring it
(the land)'; to which of the
properties does this insinuatiOn

Il assert that my constituents

He declared that the matter in
which he is chiefly interested is
the right of the small property
owner in Arlington county to con-
tinue to collection of its tax reve-
nues from the property upon
which it has collected taxes con-
tinuously and uninterrupted. He

FL0GGING ENDS
IN SCHOOLS

SILVER SPRING, Md, Jan. 90.
Corporal punishment as a discip-
linary measure in the public
schools of Montgomery county
was declared ended here last
night as more than 100 parents
gathered in a mass protest meet
ing against recent flogging Of stu
dents in the Takoma-Silver Spring
Junior High School.
Heralded as an "ouster" meet
ing when parents would demand
the removal of w. B. Marks, al
legged wielder of the Christening
rod and principal of the school,
the group instead discussed ways
and means of obtaining repeal Of
the ancient State public school
law which permits teachers to ad-
minister corporal punishment.
First coming to light last week
when two boys, Jack Mehserle
and Ford Kelley told of receiv-
ing floggings for laughing out
loud in French class, parents de-
clared that a hurried investiga-
ton into the matter disclosed
that many young students were
whipped for minor offenses.
DR.. Edwin w. Broome, super
intendent of county schools, said
although corporal punishment was
permitted in the schools under
an old statute, there would be

Lecle, Aliens Ex-Secretary,
 Gets Boss .DOb as Governor
By QUINCY EWING, JR.

BATON ROUGE, La, March G. A year and a half ago Judge Richard Webster Leche Dick" Leche to practically everybody in Louisiana public life-was Gov ernors secretary.
 After May he will be a Governor.
 If he mentally skips the interval in which he has been a New Or leans Appellate Judge, his inaugura- tion as Governor of Louisiana fol- lowing a landslide election victory for the late Senator Huey P. Longs political machine probably will seem to him hardly more than a swift from an outer office of the execu- tive suite to an inner one.
 Huge of build, 37 years old, soft spoken and amiable. Leche will take over the head post of Longs State governmental empire, and probably run it different way.
 Persuades or Candidates
 Although he praised Longs pol icies and pronounced his own en- dorsement of them, there is all the difference of night and day between him and the late Senator.
 Whereas Longs frequent practice was to overcome a foe in knock down, drag-out political fight rather than to persuade or conciliate him, Leche has worked to win over op- position by quiet argument, smile and disarming suayity.
 { Long executed coups by rushing bills, sight unseen, to the public through five-day special sessions of the Legislature.
 Leche has announced that bills embracing his legislative program will be published over Louisiana

 After the 1884 session he was ap- pointed by Allen to the New Or leans Appeals Court, and following Longs death won endorsement as the Long-Allen factions standard bearer
