District Committee said today
after making personal tour Of

Several days ago the KanSan,
formerly chairman of the commit

The matter was brought so forci-

the Senator visited the institution.
He was conducted throughout
the cell blocks by Superintendent
Thomas S. Rives. He was shown
men sleeping on mattresses on the
cement floors, the outmoded cells
themselves and the crowded con-
ditions in the women'S quarters.
At the conclusion of his visit
the Senator said that when the
District appropriation bill is called

and maintenance OF
PWA's so large-scale housing prof.
ects the Federal Government has
a delicate diplomatic
problem in adjusting the rate Of
to the municipality for
services such as fire and police
maintenance OF streets
and sewers, disqualification and
sanitary inspection.
Originally it was calculated that
the payment to the municipality
of a sum equal to S per cent of
the gross rentals Of the PWA
projects would be a fair arrange
ment all around. This was dis
cussed when the George-Healy act
permitting the Federal Govern
ment to charge off As per cent OF
the cost Of the projects in fixing
the rentals was under conSidera-
ton in Congress. Although the
law as enacted did not specify the
amount of the payment to be
made in lieu of taxes, an agree
ment was reached with the city
of Atlanta, Ca, in the case Of the
fleetwood housing project in that
city, providing for payment on
that basis. Subsequent studies,
however, showed that practically
all of the cities in which PWA
projects are located have been
collecting considerable less in taxes
than they would receive on this
basis from the Federal Govern
ment, and that they would in ef-
feet make money" out of the
projects. which in themselves are
regarded as distinct contributions
socially and economically to the
cities in which they are built.
Some of the cities have gone
even farther. The city of Evans
vile, Ind, one of those which was
flooded out in January by the rise
in the Ohio River, has notified
PWA officials that it will make
no request whatever for any Fed
eral payment, but will service the
Evansville project without the
payment of taxes or equivalent
charges by its tenants. Mime
apolis has offered to accept a
payment equal to l per cent Of
the gross receipts from rentals.

LONDON, Feb. 5 N.SD.-The
English populace is getting &C
uuainted with the realism of an
aerial raid.
The activities of searchlight
unit are being broadcast over the
radio. MicrophoneS around an
anti-aircraft battalion relay to lis
teners the unit in action.
They hear the pilot OF an air
plane describing how it feels to be
caught in the beam Of a search
light.
Manchester has just established
a new police headquarters for air
raids with bombproof cellars.
Even if the building collapsed,
the bombproof basement would be
unaffected. 1t contains an emer-
gency lighting system as we'll as
an emergency telephone exchange.
Built Like Fortress
The British broadcasting build
ing in London is expected to be the
nerve center of the nations de.
fense in case of an air raid. The
building is constructed like fort
ress and has the most modern
bombproof underground system.
In a huge factory at Blackburn,
80 million gas masks are being
assembled and distributed to Stor-
age centers throughout the king
dom.
Said ]. w. L. Oliver, of the Home
Office:
"They may never be wanted
but the knowledge they are ready
will give confidence. And if they
do have to be issued they will
encourage people to stay quiet
in their own homes where they
will come to least HARM"
These masks, which will be given
away free by the government IN
event of war, are new type and
not intended for those who have
to do active defence work during
an air raid.
Weighs IL Ounces
The mask weighs about II
ounces, permits easy breathing and
is not as uncomfortable to wear
as service gas masks.
It has rubber vizor, with an
eyepiece of noninflammable cellu-
lose acetate. A "Snout," contain
ing the filtering material, Is at
tached to the rubber mask.
One section of the filter renders
harmless any dust gas" The
other part of the filter absorbs
poison gases which mix with the
air.
