GROUP
SHIFTS DUE
IN HOUSE
Iowa Democrat in Line
For New Head of
D. 6. Fund Unit

While the 1887 District appro-
priation bill remained in a dead
lock between the House and Sen
ate conferees, it appeared today
that drastic Encouragement Of
the personnel of the House District
Appropriation subcommittee will
develop as a result of which Repre-.
sentative Bernhard M. jackson
Cd, Of Iowa, will be appointed
chairman of that group.
The new development which
suggested this possibility was the
news that Representative Tillman
Parks Cd, of Arkansas. failed to
file for reelection in his home
State. This suggests the follow
ing:
Representative Clarence Cannon
CD, of Missouri, now chairman
of the District Appropriations sub
committee, probably viii take the
craftsmanship Of the Appropr1a'
tons subcommittee on the agricul'
ture bill, since Representative
John N. Sandlin- CD, Of Louisi-
ana, who has been chairman OF
the latter group. announced some
time ago that he will not run for
reelection.
Expected to Decline
Representative Elanton, next in
line for the Craftsmanship OF the
District subcommittee. is expected
to decline that Craftsmanship. how
ever, to take over the chairman
ship of the subcommittee on the
War Department bill. which posi-
ton is held at present by Repre-
sentative Parks.
No member can hold more than
one subcommittee cha1rmanShlp.
This would place Representative
Jacobsen in line for the chairman
ship of the subcommittee in charge
of the District supply measure. .
At the same time, it was learned,
a strong movement is under way
to have Rep. Everett M. Dirksen
R.), of Illinois, appointed to the
District Appropriations subcom-
mittee n place of Rep. j. William
Otter R.), of Pennsylvania, who
is slated for a position on one OF
the other appropriation subcom'
mittees.
Texan Will Accept
It is a virtual certainty that
Representative Cannon will take
the Craftsmanship of the Agricul-
ture supply bill subcommittee, and
it is more than probable that the
Texan will accept the chairman.
ship of the War subcommittee
rather than the District subcom-
mittee. Questioned as to what he
would co, the Texas member said:'
81 cannot say at this time. IL
depends considerably on what
the Administration would want
me to do, and, of course, right
now do not know what that is"
Observers pointed out. however,
that with the numerous Army
posts that are located in Texas, a
determined effort will be made by
members of the Texas delegation
to have Blanton placed in the
Craftsmanship of the subcommit-
tee handling the War Department.

Utilities Commission
Is Told Transfers
Will Be Ready

Unification of the Districts
transportation system was accom-
plished today when the Capital
Transit Company notified the Pub.
lie Utilities Commission it accepted
the commissions terms for the
purchase of the washington Rapid
Transit Company.
John II. Hanna, president Of
Capital Transit Company, told the
commission that transfer arrange
nents between lines Of the two
companies will be established Tues
day. A passenger paying a 10
cent cash fare on lines of either
company may obtain a free trans
fer, and weekly passes sold for
$1.25 will be good on both lines,
except on WRTCO's Baltimore
and Mt. Vernon buses.
Merrill to Get New Post
e. D. Merrill, president of Wash.
ington Rapid Transit Company,
will be given position with Capt.
tai Transit Company and possibly
may be put in charge of all bus
operations.
Mr.. Hanna told the commission
the street car company's board Of
directors will meet Monday and
adopt !. resolution calling for dis
solution Of Washington Rapid
Transit Company, which will be
recommended to stockholders. A
special meeting of stockholders
will be called to vote on this after
the legally required three weeks
notice.
Since the Capital Traction Com.
pany has taken over q majority
z! ,2S7 Shares-of the. 81 ,612 shares
OF the Washington Rapid Transit
Company stock, Mr.. Hanna said
no difficulty will be experienced
IN bringing about Washington
Rapid Transit Company's disso-
luton.
Long Fight Ended
Acceptance Of the commits.
sion'S terms for the bus line n1Ir.
chase eliminated efforts for uni.
tlcation of the local TRANSPORTS
ton system which began in 1929.
AT that time, in connection with
street car merger legislation, it
was suggested that the merged
street car company buy Wash.
ington Rapid Transit Company
for 81, 100000. This suggestion
met defeat.
In 1884 the Capital Transit
Company proposed to buy the
Sixteenth Street bus line for
$S43 1858. The Public Utilities
Commission turned down this
proposal and the street car com.
pany filed suit in District Su.
preme Court in an effort to have
the sale authorized, but later
withdrew it's suit. -
Last February the street car
company offered another pro-
posal to buy the Washington
Rapid Transit Company for
$539,723. A public hearing fol-
lowed and the commission turned
this down. but made a counter
proposal of allowing the purchase
for $475,913, plus an allowance
Of 81 per share to. purchase 800
shares Of stock from minority
holders. These are the terms the
street car company accepted.

NEW TRAINING
|. FOR B0MBERS

The Army Air Corps has an
nounced that bombing specialists
will be trained in the use of
flares in night bombing, the use
of a camera obscura in firing prac-
tice and on a miniature bombing
range.
The Nineteenth Bombardment
Squadron at March Field, Califor
mia, perfected the new devices.
In using flares the bombing plane
is preceded by another plane
carrying flares. The flight of the
two planes and the distance be-
tween them is so timed that the
flares from the first plane will be
dropped to illuminate the target
without disclosing the presence of
the bomber.
Use of the camera obscura will
save the Government thousands
of dollars formerly expended in
training bomberS in actual firing.
The camera, mounted on wheels,
is equipped with two-way radio.
The bombing plane. instead Of
dropping bombs, fires a radio
beam, which is registered on the
camera if "hit" is made.
The third improvement, the
miniature range" includes a ter
rain in replica, with certain build
ingS, crossroads and railroads.
The bombardier, just beginning
his training, is placed near the
ceiling of large building and
the terrain passes beneath him.
He fires his flaSh-bombS at desig-
mated targets.

sung in full voice, with the sing

the choir unseen.
The spiritualS used in 'The

TACKLE SAVES
MAN FROM A
FIERY DEATH

Chicago-(ANP)--When Booker
Wax, 26 years old, wanted to ex-
anime the vacuum tank of his auto
last Wednesday night, he made the
almost fatal mistake of lighting a
match to furnish the needed illu-
mination, and, running true 10
form, the gasoline exploded, cover
ing Wax with flames.
Wrapped in fire and screaming
with pain, he started running down
the street when his plight was seen
by Harry Simler, an auto parts
salesman, who Immediately took a
flying tackle at the human torch
and brought Wax to the pavement.
Simler then extinguished the flam-
es by rolling the victim in an au-
tomobile blanket, and Wax was
later taken to the hospital, where,
it is said, he has an even chance
recovery. (Moral: II you Ravens a
flash-light handy when examining
your vacuum tank, let the dern
thing go.)

-; SUNDA Y

, Detroit will greet Angelo Hern-
don this Sunday evening with a
pubfic fnter-racial rally and dance.
The affair takes place at Workers
Hall 1913 Ferry street, near Rus
sell.
Herndon, youthful champion of
Negro rights and advocate of pro-
gressive politics, comes to Detroit
on national tour for Earl Browder
and James Ford, candidates of the
Communist Party for President
and Vice President of the United
States respectively. Herndon, HIM
self, is a candidate for New York
State Representative on the Har-
lem Peoples Party ticket.
A large attendance of young peo-
pie especially, is expected at Sun
days rally and dance as Herndons'
speech will stress the problems OF
youth and their interests in the
current political scene.
After a four year effort by thou
sands of both races to free Hern-
don from an 1920 year sentence
to the Georgia chain gang. the cam
paign is rapidly approaching a new
climax with his case now before
the United States Supreme Court.
It is expected that Herndons 'ap-

quite aside from its political char
acter, will awaken renewed inter-
est in the movement for his free
dom.

Aircraft Club Asks
Support of Public

The Glenn Aircraft Club, 1881 Jos.
Campau, is headed by r. Glenn and
Edward e. Brown, two pioneer air
craft promoters Of the race. They
have two planes and an air field,
and are appealing to the public to
help them raise funds with which
to build a hangar.
During the past several years,
Mr., Glenn has spent approximately
$4,000 of his own funds in de-
veloping a flying field and air
planes for his Aircraft Club in this
city. He has a fine program for
training student pilots and pro-
noting aircraft activities among
the race in this community, but as
his funds are inadequate he makes
the following appeal to public
minded citizens for assistance. He
says:
"One of our planes is a WAGE
N. c. No. 6613, while the other
was built by our club and is known
to the Department of Commerce as
the Glenn Low Wing No. 1876,
What we are asking for is hang
er to shelter ond protect our plan
es. Anything given to the club for
this purpose, will be deeply appre-
ciated. If there is any doubt about
the worthiness of our project,
come out to our air field and see
for yourself"
Persons desiring further parti-
culars, are requested to communi-
cate with Mr.. Glenn at 1881 JOS.

son.
