Paced by several members of

squad" a delegation of the Work
ers Alliance of America called
upon Commissioner George Allen
today to lay before him IA de-
mands for Improvements" in the
local WPA program, some involv-
ing accusations against local WPA
officials.
Unable to gain satisfactory an

E. H. Ozmun, president of the
alliance, and head of the delega-
tion, said Hopkins would be re-
quested to remove Allen as local
WPA administrator for Sitting
supinely by and doing nothing
while this serious situation exists" !"
Commissioner Allen said one of
the IA demands was read to him
by the delegation. This called for
a redefining of the WPA district
region. Allen said this would
mean fewer jobs and higher pay.
He said he was powerless to an
swer the demand and requested
the memorandum be left for his
approval. The delegation insisted
but failed to get an answer and
then left.

By EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt and Col.
Edward Halsey, secretary of the
Senate, sat down today in the
Presidents office to undertake
the first piece of business con-
nected with the inaugural cere-
monies which are to be so simple
that all the public will see is an
automobile carrying the Presi-
dent to be sworn in on the Cap
itol steps.
That is, unless the President
changes his mind under the bar
rage of kilograms, letters tele-
phone calls and pleas that are
said to be coming to Washington
from every Democratic organiza-
tion from the Young Democrats
up to the Oldest Inhabitants. 1t
would seem that nearly everybody
who voted for President Roosevelt
wants to be here to march in
the parade or sit in a grand
stand and see the triumphant
hosts go by.
Swamped With Pleas
Malcolm McConnihie, District
of Columbia'S Democratic national
committeeman, at the White House
today, said he was fairly swamped
with requests from Democratic
politicians and leaders from every
district in the country-and that
he is strongly impressed with their
pleas for real old-time, bang-up
whoop-de-do Inauguration that will
give the New Dealers a chance to
expand.

CASE
TOGO TO
JURY
Report of WhiteWash'
In Prince Georges
Charges Denied

Stung by rumors that the in
vestigation into the alleged police
bonding racket in upper Prince
Georges county would be white
washed" to avoid a scandal that
would react unfavorably on politi-
cal leaders at the polls two years
hence, one of the outstanding
leaders in the county today de-
clared there would be no white
wash and said evidence now in
hand was being studied for preSen-
tation to the grand jury when it
reconvenes the first of December.
This leader, who declined to per-
NIT his name to be used, pointed
out there is an immense amount
of detail work to be done before
the cases are ready to be placed
before the grand jury.
Checking Affidavits
One of the most important steps
is to check allegations made in af-
fidavits now in the hands of at
torneys for the keystone Automo-
bile Club, instigators of the cam
paign to end the alleged racket,
against the various books in which
police records are kept to ascer-
tain the final disposition of the
cases, this official said. The affi-
ants will haye to be interviewed
and a chronological presentation
of each case must be prepared.
The failure again yesterday of
Alan Bowie, States attorney, to
name an assistant to aid in pre-
pairing the cases for the grand
jury and in any prosecutions
should indictments be found, was
said by Mr.. Bowie to be without
significance and he probably
would name his assistant Tuesday
after he has studied the evidence
now in hand.
BOwie'S Business"
Mr.. Bowie has been reported on
the verge of naming an assistant
for the past three weeks and as
he failed to do so yesterday, when

PRIVATE PENSIONS
WILL Be DEBATED
Joint Subcommittee to
Study Preservation of
Systems.

Whether it will be possible for
Congress to agree at this session on
legislation to preserve private pension
systems in industry after the Federal
old-age retirement plan goes into
effect may be determined at an
executive meeting tomorrow night Of
the joint House and Senate subcom.
mittee studying the problem.
The subcommittee at that time
expects to receive the report of a
group of Government and outside
experts who have been endeavoring to
work out the actuarial details of some
amendment to the social security law
that would safeguard the private re-
tirement plans established voluntarily
in many industries.
The original proposal of Senator
Clark, Democrat. of Missouri, would
have exempted an industry from the
joint employer-employe tax. which
starts next January to refinance the
Federal retirement system, if the in
dustry maintains private plan equal
to or better than the Government
plan.
The Senate adopted this in the
social security bill last year. but it was
not agreed to in conference One OF
the arguments of administration lead
ers on Capitol Hill at that time was
that the exemption of private systems
would weaken the Federal plan.
On the other hand, supporters OF
the Clark amendment take the view
Congress should encourage retention
of existing private plans, in case the
Federal program should later be de-
clared unconstitutional.
The experts working on the problem
since the last session have been try
ing to devise some compromise pro-
vision to meet the objections that
prevented adoption of the original
Clark amendment.
If the joint subcommittee reaches
an agreement, bill amending the
social security law would have to be
introduced and acted on by House
and Senate. The subcommittee is
made up of members of the House
Ways and Means Committee, and oi
the Senate Finance Committee.

Another vague chapter in the mys-
terry surrounding the crash of the
American Air Lines plane near Good
win, Ark, in January was written
yesterday by the Commerce Depart
ment
Maintaining it could not prove why
the plane fell, taking II person to
death, the department issued rules
designed to limit the possibilities Of
passengers interfering with pilots dur
ing flight.
It has suggested such interference"
might have been a cause for the Ar
kansas crash, and investigations led
down many strange paths.
The new rules require both pilot
and co-pilot to keep their posts at all
times and the door to their compart-
ment must be kept locked against pas
sengers.
Neither may pilots visit with pas
sengers outside the pilot compartment,
thus subjecting themselves to the pos
sibility that some time some passen-
ger may interfere"

TRAFFIC HEARINGS
END TOMORROW
Van Duzer and Brown to
Give House SubCommit.
tee Final Data.

The Special Traffic Subcommittee
of the House District Committee will
hold its final public hearing tomorrow
at 10 am. to gather loose ends about
Washington's traffic situation
Traffic Director William A. Van Du-
zer and Police Supt Ernest w. Brown
have been recalled to give the sub
committee any information that was
overlooked during its comprehensive
study of traffic conditions.
Representative Carpenter, Demo-
crat. of Kansas, chairman of the sub-
committee, said he had asked both
Maj. Brown and Van Duzer for certain
information necessary to complete the
traffic picture.
Preparation Of Report.
AS soon as the subcommittee re-
ceives this data, Carpenter said it
would conclude the hearings. and
then go over the mass of testimony
preparatory to preparing report for
the full District Committee.
The report is expected to contain a
number of recommendations for i'm
proving traffic conditions, some of
which will require legislation as well
as additional appropriations.
Carpenter said he is not in a posi-
ton at this time to predict the sub
committees recommendations, but
most of them will deal with plans for
driving the specter of death from
the highways.
1t is a foregone conclusion that a
number of additional policemen will
be urged, especially for the traffic
force. The subcommittee has been
impressed with the need for more off,
GERS to round up speeders and reck-
less drivers.
Circles a Problem.
It also is likely that specific recon-
mendations will be made for reduc-
ing traffic hazards around some of
the numerous circles, particularly
Dupont, Scott and Thomas Circles.
Subways under the circles have been
suggested, and this proposal Is to be
given serious consideration.
The subcommittee likewise will seri-
ously consider proposal that pedes-
trian subways be constructed under
Pennsylvania avenue between Sixth
and Fifteenth streets, for protection
of the thousands of government work.
ers, who now are forced to brave the
rush hour traffic perils ia that area.

will complete its report within the
next several weeks, so that any legis-
lation needed to carry out various
recommendations can be acted on be-
fore adjournment of Congress.

RED RIDER ACTION
LIKELY TOMORROW
Mass Of Testimony to Be
Considered, Despite Mrs.
JenckeS' Absence.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The education subcommittee of the
House District Committee plans to
take formal action tomorrow on the
Sisson bill to repeal the so-called "red
rider" on the 1886 District appropria-
ton act, despite the absence Of Repre-
sentative Virginia E. Jenckes, Demo-
crat of Indiana.
An executive meeting of the SUBJ
committee will be held at 2 pm. at
which it will consider the mass Of
testimony submitted at recent hear
ings on the Sisson bill.
The subcommittee had hoped Mrs.
Jenckes would appear to amplify her
charges that the Board of Education
is o-communistic and grossly inefi-
cient, but she left Washington Friday
to keep some political engagements in
her district near the Wabash.
Opponents See Amsadment.
Opponents of the Sisson bill believe
the subcommittee will amend it so
that instead of providing for outright
repeal of the "red rider" it will forbid
the advocacy of communism in the
class room. Several members Of the
subcommittee, however, believe the
measure should be reported in its
present form and let Congress face
the issue squarely.
Although the subcommittee may dis
pose of the bill tomorrow, it probably
uyill y,ot roo oh tho full n;efri,t Co,,,
mittee for consideration until April g.
The regular weekly meeting of that
committee Wednesday is expected to
be called of on account of the alb
sence from Washington of Chairman
Mary T. Norton.
Chairman Walsh of the Senate Edu-
cation and Labor Committee mean
while is waiting to confer with Sena-
tor Wheeler, Democrat, Of Montana
before fixing time for consideration
of Wheeler's bill to repeal the "red
rider"
Mrs. Norton will leave today to keep
several speaking engagements in
Maine, and will not return until
Thursday. Since the "red rider" would
be the only matter likely to come up
at Wednesdays meeting. she pointed
out, weeks delay in its considera-
tion by the full committee would not
affect its movement to the House cal
endar.
District Day Filled.
The next so-called District day" is
April 13, but the entire day will be
taken up with further consideration
of the controversial Elienbogen rent
control bill. Even If the "red rider
repeal bill is placed on the calendar
by that time, she said, it could not
be called up until the last District
day" of the month, April 27.
Aside from the Ellenbogen bill, the
only other measures on the House
calendar awaiting action include one
TO establish a system Of magistrate
courts and another authorizing mer-
ger of the Washington and George
town Gas Light Cos. Because Of the
present program to dispose Of the
Ellenbogen bill April 13, and the
"red rider" repeal bill, April ~, II
is unlikely that either the gas mer-
ger or magistrate courts bill will be
acted on by the House until some time
in May.
