BORAH TO BLOCK
"FAVORITE SONS"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. - In the
realm of party politics, those OBJ
servers who make it their business
to try to figure out what Senator
Borah is aiming at, seem to be con-
vinced that his declaration in Ohio
as a primary candidate for the Pre-
sidencv is an effort to block the
"favorite SON. tactics which have so
often resulted in throwing the NOM
ination into the hands of the party
bosses.
If Mr.. Borah can get a good sized
handful of instructed delegates, he
can use them as a club over the
Convention, but how he would use
that club is still somewhat in doubt.
His main objective, it is believed,
is to prevent MI Hoover and his
friends in the Old Guard from con-
trolling the Republican Convention.
There is only one other Repub-
Iican of whom it can be said with
certainty that lle viii have group
of instructed delegates at Cleveland
That is Governor Landon of Kan
Sas. He and Sen4t )r Borah ale now
away out in front.

CONGRESS TO ADJOURN MAY
WITHOUT TAKING ACTION
ON TOWNSEND OLD ACE BILL
President Just AS Anxious To Have Congress 10
Home AS The Boys Are To Get Back And
Look After Political Fences

and look after their political fences
Congress has quite few things
to do. however, before it quits. The
boys have to put through some KIND
of a farm aid bill, devise some new
tax schemes which won't have too
serious political repercussions and,
Just before they leave. they Will nav
to make another big relief appro~
priation.
Pensions And Economy
A thing that is apparently off the
cards is old age pensions a la
Townsend. This looked like a live
issue in December, but the attitude
now is to let it lie until after elec-
ton. With the old age assistance
plan in the Social Security Act,
it is figured that the states Will
have no trouble in taking care OF
the really needy old folks, and that
is as far as. this Congress or the
Administration is inclined to go.
Congress and the Administration
have been hearing so much crltl-
cism, during the last few weeks, on
the subject of free spending, that
there is now a considerable degree
of harmony betwees the Legislative
and Executive branches of the Gov
ernment in the matter of appropria-
tions. One effect of the reaction
against spending was the announce
ment the other day by the Presi-
dent that he is not going to use
the last billion or so which had
been voted for the Works Progress
Administration. He will have to
come back to Congress for a fur
ther relief appropriation for the
period beginning July l, and this
may run to 2 billions.
Farm Aid Views
The farm aid bill as passed by
the Senate combines in one mea-
sure several diverse elements. It pre-
vids for control Of soil erosion, OF
which everybody is in favor. It also
provides for the replenishing OF
worn-out soil by the planting OF
grasses and legumes Everybody is
for that. It provides bounty pay
ments to farmers for doing these
things.
It seems to be a settled policy
which both major parties will un-
douEAedIy indopse at their June
conventions, that farming should be
regarded as a preferred occupation
entitled to large measure of Gov
ernment aid. Therefore, there is nc
serious objection to paying farm
bounties for the purpose just men
toned.

30 PERCENT GAIN
IN PNEUMONIA

Urging everybody to beware of
pneumonia the State Board OF Pub
lie Health yesterday issued the fol-
lowing statement:
BEWARE PNEUMONIA"
"Over 30% increase in incidence
of this dread disease for Arizona in
1885.
"The season of increased incidence
for pneumonia is now upon us.
Contrary to popular belief, pneu-
monia is a contagious disease, the
germs of which are transferable
from one person to another.
For the purpose of reporting
contagious disease to the State
Board of Health, pneumonia has
been classified under the headings
of Lobar Pneumonia and Bronchial
Pneumonia. Bronchial pneumonia
arises from a cold and is an exten-
sion of Inflammation from the
the bronchial tree into the lung
tissue. In lObar pneumonia, Jne III
fection takes place in the lung It's
sue itself, and extends outward.
"Too little attention has been
paid in the past to the fact that
this disease is contagious - espe-
cially the lobar type. In 1885, We
had approximately a 30Go increeT
in the incidence of pneumonia y
this state. 1t is suggested that e
cases of pneuminia be isolated. anf
that in a household with children
| the other children be protected
from coming in contact with tT
case. All nasal discharges and tr
sputum coughed up should be co..
lected in paper handkerchiets an
burned
with more care in the isolation
of cases and reasonable discretion
in taking care of the common cold
! the incidence of pneumonia should
decrease"

forward step upon receipt of word
Thursday that the Southern Pacific

Virginia Assembly to Weigh
Districts VOteIess Status
Delegate Daughton Is Again to Seek
Passage of Resolution Asking
National Representation.

Approval Of the United States Sen
ate resolution proposing national rep
resentation for the District of Colum-
bia will be sought in the Virginia
General Assembly when 1t convenes
In biennial session Wednesday at
Richmond.
A resolution memorializine Congress
to pass the legislation necessary for
submission of the question to the
States was offered at the 1884 session
of the Virginia Legislature by Delegate
Ralph H. Daughton Of Norfolk, ma
tive of Washington.
Undismayed by the refusal of the
Privileges and Elections Committee Of
the Virginia House to report the reso-
luton, Daughton will again introduce
it and believes he can secure its pass
age.
One point in favor of the resolu-
ton reaching the floor of the House
for the consideration of the body as a
whole is that Ashton C. Dovell Of
Williamsburg, former chairman of
the Privileges and Elections Commit
tee, is scheduled for election as speak
er, thus leaving the committee post.
He was one of the principal opponents
of the measure at the last session.
1t is not yet known who will succeed
to Dovell's post because of contem-
plated committee changes which may
affect the selection of new chairman
by the seniority method. but if the
new chairman also is found to be
hostile to the measure it is believed
by Daughton that he can have it re-
ferred to the Committee on Federal
Relations, of which he is a member.

DRINK CURE FARM
COST GIVEN STUDY
City Heads Will Consider
Spending 100000 to Care
for Inebriates.

Expenditure Of 100000 for estab-
lishment of a hospital for habitual
drunks at the District Workhouse at
Occoquan, Va, will be considered by
Commissioner Hazen and other
District officials Tuesday afternoon.
Estimates place the operating costs
at about $87,00n a year, including
allowance for care of a daily avers ge
of 200 patients. at 10 cents a day.
Sanford Bates, director Of the
Federal Bureau Of Prisons, in a letter
to Hazen, declared "there is no ques-
tioning that the District should have
such an institution"
Estimates of the cost were prepared
by Welfare Director Elwood Street
and Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Howard F. Clark. Members Of
committee named by Hazen to con-
slider the plan are Wilbur LaRoe. .ir..
head Of the District Parole Beard:
Street, Police Superintendent Ernest
w. Brown, Judge Gus A. Schuldt of
Police Court, Chairman George w.
Offutt Of the District Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board. Corporation
Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman and
Mrs. Clifford Lewis, representing
women'S organizations.
Hazen initiated the move some
months ago after reports showed that
a large number of persons are re-
peatedly arrested and sentenced fer
intoxication.
Several District officials declare the
cost Of the proposed drink cure
hospital or farm would be small,
Evening star., 1936-01-05

It's chances would be greater in that
committee.
The measure was introduced at
the last session without the necessary
time to lay groundwork for its ia
vorable consideration. This year
there will be concerted effort made
both by House members and out
siders to at least gain the attention
Of the entire Assembly to the matter.
Passage of the resolution is favored
by Delegates william D. Medley Of
Arlington County and John C. Mack
all of Fairfax County, the two Vir-
ginia counties adjacent to the Dis
trict. Approval of Senator John w.
Rust is expected if the measure
reaches the Upper House.
Since the consideration of the ques-
ton by Virginia the California Leg
islature has passed a resolution and
forwarded it to Congress. California
is the first State to take such action.
Favorable action by the Pacific
Coast State was accomplished largely
through the National League Of
Women Voters, which has taken up
the matter and is expected to act
through the various State leagues. 1t
is hoped that the national league will
influence the Virginia League Of
Women Voters to take similar action.
Passage of the resolution by the
Congress requires a two-thirds vote.
When and If this is accomplished, the
resolution will be presented to the
States for ratification by their legis-
latures Final ratification requires
favorable action by three-fourths of
the States.
