STATISTICS UNIT
LIFE URGED BY
PRESIDENT
BY EARL GOODWIN


President Roosevelt wants the
Statistical Boards life saved and
has asked Congress to have the
S174,ooo appropriation put back in
the independent offices appropri-
alton bill. This was the item
which the House provided for and
which was completely overlooked
by the Senate, leaving the matter
hanging fire in conference.
President Roosevelt paid the
board a compliment at his press
CO inference yesterday afternoon
when he declared he had no idea
why the Senate failed to make
the necessary appropriations for
the board.
The board was created in the
last conference, to bring about uni
forrnity among the various statiS-
tics, which constantly pour out
from Government bureaus and de-
partments. 1t was possible in years
past to get figures from the De-
partment Of Commerce on some
subject in which the Treasury also
was interested, and to find that
the statistics were diametrically
opposed in many instances; at
least they did not agree. This was
true with the statistics from all
other departments and bureaus.
It was also true with respect to
figures or statistics which the
President himself used on occasion.
He would make use of the data
from some department in the
morning and by afternoon he
would be disputed by stories based
on statistics from some other part
of the Government. The President
dwelt on this phase with heartfelt
emphasis as he expressed himself
to his press conference.
Although the board was not a
large one, it had been putting
uniformity into Government Statis'
tics with considerable success in
the past two years, and further
more it had been utilized by the
President and the WPA organiza-
ton to make studies of relief
projects with a view to spending
money only on the most necessary
work. In this, its friends claim, it
had saved the Government at least
5000 100000.
One function Of the Central
Statistical Board was to aid the
departments in utilizing uniform
forms and formulae for obtaining
information: so that the informa-
ton would be uniform throughout
the Government so far as possible.
Just why the Senate dropped the
board from the independent
offices bill, however, remains
mystery.

PLUMBER TEST
SCRUT|NIZED

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Feb. "a.
After hearing plumbers charge that
the city's new plumbing code is so
discriminatory it results in license
peddling," city council last night
appointed committee to inVesti-
gate the charges and report back
on any changes necessary to elm
mate the condition.
A dozen plumbers, all having
years Of experience here and in
other large cities, testified they
had repeatedly been unable to pass
the strict written examination the
new code requires for a master
plumbers license.
AS a consequence, they said, they
have been forced to pay the few
who have passed the examination
to obtain permits for them. One
plumber, Robert Harris, reported
he paid $40 to another plumber
for his trouble" in getting him
a permit.
Victor E. Beagle, city plumbing
inspector, however, told the coun-
Gil the code and its examination
are simple and reasonable" Don
Lotus, Beverly Hills contractor,
replied that he had one plumber
working for him with 40 years Of
experience who could not pass the
examination.
Seking to clarity the condition.
Frederick L. Flynn, attorney. has
filed suit against the city, contest
ing the legality Of the code on the
grounds it is discriminatory.
Mayor E. C. Dawson and Coun-
clmen Stump, Burgess and Ben
der were appointed on the COM
mlttee to investigate the charges.
