SAFEGUARDING
OF HIGHWAY
PLANNED
Traffic Patrol, Gates
for Military Road
Are Proposed

Efforts of Congress to provide
adequate safeguards along Mill
tary Road where it bisects the
Washington and Hoover airports
were near success in the Senate
today.
Senator Robert r. Reynolds
CD of North Carolina, chairman
of the Military Affairs subcom-
mittee, hopes to have the Senate
pass a joint resolution today
granting the airport corporation
permission to use the road for
landing and taking off of planes
providing safeguards are set up
under Department of Commerce
regulations.
This resolution, agreed to yes
terday at a joint meeting of the
Senate and House subcommittee,
is a complete revision of the reSo-
luton recently drawn up by
House members, but is expected
to achieve the same results al
though couched in different Ian
guage.
This resolution provides a fine
Of $500 or six months imprison-
ment, or both, for violations Of
the safety regulations to be

It is planned to place gates
at either end of a 300-foot por.
ton of the road to halt traffic

This measure was agreed to as
a temporary provision to be in

BLAINE BABY
A WONDER

Newspaper accounts Of bright
babies prompted Nurse Emma
Miller to propose her 15-months-
old ward, Elizabeth Ann Blaine,
as tops" in smart children-or,
at least, pretty close to the "tops."
Mrs. Miller, who has cared for
Betty" since birth. has, she says,
cared for hundreds Of others.
Some of them were bright, some
brighter and others not so bright.
But, she declares, Betty" leads
them all.
The blonde, blue-eyed daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James w. Blaine,
of 1877 Simms Pl. N. E., walked
at the age of 7 months and began
to talk shortly thereafter.

Ken Murray
Says:

Judging from the way the
Supreme Court decided that
iva case in favor the Admin
istratiOn, it looks like the New
Dealers are having more luck aS
they get toward the end Of the
alphabet. oh well, I guess the
judges figure they have to let
the Government win, once in .
while, or they won't get any
more business.
OF course, with all this Su-
preme Court activity, recently,
its hard for the New Dealers to
get much work done. They're
always busy getting ready for .
Judgment Day.
And not only that, the Gov.
ernment being allowed to sell
electric power is going to cause
Jim Farley a lot Of confusion
in his bookkeeping To sell
volts, or buy votes. That is the
question.
So Remember:
Here's hoping that from now
on, political machines will be
run on electricity. Instead Of
gas.

Investigation of Indus
try Blocked by Theft
of Records

Thieves in the House Office
Building have effectively side
tracked a proposed congressional
investigation into the ethyl gaSo-
line industry of this country, it
was learned today with the dis
closure that records to be used
as basis for the probe have been
pilfered from the office safe Of
Representative John F. Dock
weller CD, of California, pro-
ponent of the measure.
According to Representative
Dockweiler, there are no dupli-
Gates of the records and it would
be impossible" to canvass the
scores Of companies and individ-
ualS whose written and tele-
graphed testimony constituted
the stolen files.
Concrete Evidence Lacking
The California solon declared
that for this reason he will be
unable to push the investigation
since it would be impossible to
present concrete evidence to the
House Rules Committee.
Representative Dockweiler said
he discovered on January 16 that
the files had been removed from
his safe where they had reposed
since he stored them there shortly
after the close of the last session
Of Congress. After a conference
with Speaker ByrnS and House
Rules Committee Chairman O'Con-
nor, the matter was placed in he
hands Of the Depal ;ment Of JUS
tice. Mr.. Dockweiler said.
The Dockweiler resolution was
submitted to the House March 20,
1885. It was referred to the Rules
Committee, where it remained
through the rest Of the session.
Mr.. Dockweiler said he returned
to washington last December is,
and, although it was his intention
to again approach the Rules Com.
mittee regarding the proposed
probe, he did not have occasion to
search his files until January 16,
when the theft was discovered.
Ethyl Company Target
The investigation, according to
the resolution, would be aimed
principally at the Ethyl Gasoline
Corporation of New York, the
entire capital stock Of which is
commonly understood" to be
owned or controlled one-half by
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey and one-half by the Gen
eral Motors Corporation.
All patents on tetraethyl lead,
which is used in 95 per cent of
all premium" motor fuels sold in
the United States, are owned or
controlled by the Ethyl Corpora
tion, the resolution continues.
simultaneously, the resolution
charges a combination of the
Standard Of New Jersey and other
major oil companies controls
most if not all" petroleum crack
ing patents.

A KING! A KING!
BY HELEN ESSARY

ny uEAEN ESOAN1
Great public matters Of national
and international Importance turn
personal in q feminine columnist'S
mind.
For instance, that iva decision.
Undoubtedly, we shall be burning
more electricity.
Too well I know that strong
light is the enemy of woman; can
die light in her friend. I'm all for
more and better candle light at
dinner parties.
Softly flowing, tender, compass
sionate light that smoothes away
the rough places. is kind to neck
and throat. Plays down your
weakest points and plays up your
best.
There's also that matter Of the
royalist excitement in France,
which practically has a local ap-
plication.
It would be rather nice to have
Q King in Washington. Everybody
likes fairy tale people-Kings,
Queens, Princes and Princesses. In
fact no one likes them more than
democratic Americans, though we
won't admit it.
We try hard to satisfy our yearn-
ings for the pomp and glitter of
courts by giving masquerade balls,
and parading with the Elks, the
Shriners and Woodmen Of the
World.
Let's have a King AND a Presi.
dent. That would satisfy every
body. A King for play and Presi-
dent for work. Rudy Vallee, for
instance, and Mr.. Roosevelt. Let
them give receptions on the same
night and see who would get the
crowds. Give the people a choice
between the Marine Band and q
hot-cha orchestra: between Sena-
tors talking politics and crooners
swooning over love songs: between
opening another bottle just before
the dawn or going home intact
ct II.
The thought of what America
would be like if Carol were our
King disturbs my sleep.
Speaking Of King Carol reminds
me that Mariana Hill, who used
to live with her parents, the Will
liam Hurd Hills, at '"The PorcheS"
in Brookville, Md, when she wasn't
going to school at Miss Madeira'S,
is studying this winter at the Uni
verSity of London and writing
amusing letters home. The day
after she had watched the late
Kings funeral procession pass, she
discovered King Carol absorbed in
the current art exhibit at The wal
lace Galleries. Which, she says,
was the last place she would have
expected to see him!

NATION CONFUSED
BY ITS MANY LAWS
Monopolies and Tariffs
Cumbered With Uncer-
tainties in That Way
By CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Sept. ga law, once
passed in the United States, almost
never is repealed. Prohibition was,
but the loneness of that exception
goes to prove the rule.
If law is passed or a policy is
adopted, which fails to give satisfac-
tory results, our American system is,
not to drop the policy or rescind the
law, but to modify the policy some
what, without abandoning it, or pass
a second law, making the first one
semi-inoperative, without wiping the
first one out of our statute scroll.
The result is everlasting confusion
policy conflicting with policy; law
with law.
RESULT-CONFUS
For example, we legislated against
monopolies
Then we decided that certain mono
poles are desirable. So we tried to
exempt them from the monopoly ban.
Since then no one ever has been able
to tell malevolent and beneficient
raonopolies apart.
NRA tried to define on a grand
scale, but the Federal Supreme Court
knocked it's definition out.
These conflicts generally haven't
been knocked out so Clearly.
The average of them have strung

But Most of Workers Are
Still on Strike After
Three Weeks

Union. S. c., Sept. 29.-(AP)-The
Monarch textile mills opened at 1 p.

first time in three weeks as 70 heavily
armed special deputies guarded it's en-
frances.
There was no statement from the
management as to the number, return
ing to duty but a strike spokesman
said it was only small proportion
Of the 800 normally employed and
that all union workers were still on
strike.
Magistrate J. Byers Greer said to-
day that he would accept a bond of
$1,000 by attorneys for the release of
Gordon Chastain, a textile organizer,
who was arrested last night on a dis
orderly conduct charge.
A group of approximately Is spe-
cial deputies armed with pump guns
and shotguns descended upon the
strike-torn Monarch textile mill this
morning.
They arrested a youth on disorer-
ly conduct charge and took up posi-
tons before and behind a similar
number of pickets thrown across the
road leading to the entrance.
There was no disorder on the part
of the pickets, who merely watched
the maneuvers with interest.
