Now that Hraywing was no longer

"Graywing made his stories too big

"Of course not" agreed Reddy.
And there can't be an animal, a

A $5,0Oo,0O0 Federal contribu-
tion to the District for the next
fiscal year virtually was assured
today. ....
This became apparent as a re-
suit of the statement last night by
Senator Elmer Thomas CD Of
Oklahoma, chairman of the Sen
ate District Appropriations sub
committee, who, in an address at
a testimonial dinner given IN
honor of the two civilian District
Commissioners, said he would sup
port such a figure.
During the past few weeks, since
hearings on the District money bill
were started before the House Dis
trict Appropriations subcommit-
tee, Representative Ross Collins
CD of Mississippi, chairman, on
several occasions, has indicated his
subcommittee will recommend a
Federal contribution figure Of ap-
proximately $5,000,000.
Early Accord Unusual
It is the first time in many
years that the heads of the Sen.
ate and House subcommittee
have been even close to an agree
ment on the contribution issue
early in the Congressional session,
and it indicates that the usual
hectic path Of the District appro-
priation measure will be smooth.
With the House subcommittee,
which has concluded hearings and
is expected to report the bill to
the House next week, obviously
prepared to discard the contro-
versial three-point formula recon-
mended by the Presidents Com
mittee on Fiscal Relations as a
means of determining the amount
which the Federal government
should reimburse" the National
Capital government, it was en-
phasized by Senator Thomas last
night that he was IN agreement
with this plan, also.
Thomas Outlines Attitude
Senator Thomas asserted:
$50 far as I am concerned,
the Jacobs report is not salts

citizens Of the District.

TO LEAGUE
OPENER

Two young Washingtonians who
have begun successful careers in
the Government service will be
among guests of The Washington
Times at the opening American
League baseball game here next
month.
Mrs. Margaret B. Collins, at
tractive employe of the Farm
Credit Administration and Walter
B. Chambers, Commerce Depart
ment messenger, are among the
fortunate Federal folk.
Together with scores of other
Government workers, they will en-
JOY reserved seats in the lower
grandstand during the ceremonial
diamond conflict as q result of
having found The Times Lucky
Baseball Rings" encircling their
photographs recently.
Ninth to Win
Mrs. Collins, the ninth person
to claim her prize, has lived in
Washington throughout her life,
being educated at St. Patrick's
Academ.' and Notre Dame Acad-
emy before seeking a Government
appointment three years ago.
Residing at GAL Girard st. N. E.,
Mrs. Collins is particularly thrilled
over her surprising good fortune,
pointing out when she received her
ticket that "it'S the first time
ever won anything in my life"
Young Chambers, of 1924 Twen-
ty-ninth st. N. W. was educated
in Capital schools and Western
High School.
With Maritime Body
He only recently began his ca
reer in the Government service, &C.
cepting an appointment as q mes
Senger eight months ago with the
duplicating division of the United
States Maritime Commission in
the Commerce Building.
The former Western High lad
enjoys sports of all sorts, partic-
ularly baseball, and would have
chosen to follow a newspaper writ
ing career but for his Government
opportunity. He worked as a
Times-Herald carrier boy in
Georgetown, where he lives, for
two years prior to his matricula,
tion at Western.
