D. {. TERRITORY
PLAN GAINS
IN HOUSE
Rep. Green Supports
Clark Move to End
Finance Crisis

House support for the recent
proposal of Senator Bennett
Champ Clark CD of Missouri, to
set up a territorial government in
the District, paralleling those in
Hawaii and Alaska, came today
from Representative Robert Green
Cd of Florida, chairman of the
House Committee on Territories.
The Florida member explained
that he has not read the Clark
resolution in detail, but that he is
impressed with the general prin-
ciple suggested.
PLANS CONFERENCE
It also is possible that COM
panion resolution to Clark'S may
be introduced in the House by Mr..
Green, the latter pointing out that
he intends to confer with the Sen
ate chairman of the territories
committee and determine whether
or not he should offer a similar
resolution in the House, so that
both bodies could hold hearings
and consider the measure at the
same time. Mr.. Green said:
:'T think that Senator CIark's
proposition is sound in prin-
ciple and that something of
that nature should be done, but
since I have not read the Clark
resolution and until / confer
with him as to possible pro-
cedure, 1 cannot say just what
/ might do.
CITIZENSHIP" URGED
People in the City of Wash
ingtOn and Congress have been
pickering about legislative and
fiscal matters for many years
and think that Congress could
well be relieved Of the detail of
legiSlating for this city and the
people probably would be more
satisfied. ....,
although I believe taxes here
are low-eSpecially as compared
to those in my hOme-I still feel
that the people here should
have q voice in their own affairs
and you cannot blame them for
wanting it.
81 would suggest either that
we approve some measure along
the lines Of that introduced by
Senator Clark, or that we set up
an area here encOmpaSsing all
the Federal buildings and then
cede the rest Of the city back to
the State of Maryland and let
the people who live here be-.
come citizens of MARYLAND"

Ken Murray
Says:

Africa speaks, with a German
accent, which is certainly cauS-
ing France and England to
bristle over the presence of those
Nazi troops in Spanish Morocco
=. And If you think the Situa-
ton has our State Department
on pins and needles, imagine
those European cabinets trying
to appear calm while sitting on
bayOnetS.
Naturally, the majority of
Americans are with Uncle Sam
in not allowing our young men
to go abroad and enlist. We be-
Iieve that youth should be
served, but not as cannon fOd-
der.
Really, though, you have to
feel sorry for poor Spain She
started out to have a little show
of her own, and now a lot of
foreigners have come along and
taken all the best seats in the
frent line.
With Hitler trying to edge IN
on the control of the entrance
of the Mediterranean, you can't
blame England for calling his
hand Adolf may feel cOcksure
with a Duce in the hole, but
John Bull has been holding that
strait frOIG the beginning.

NO KIDNAPPING,
SAYS BOY, 6

It looked for a time last night
as though Washington had a kid
naping case.
And there was much relief
among Department of Justice
agents and police, as we'll as the
family implicated, when 6-year-
old Jean Jacques Thomas, grand
son of Henry LaZard, secretary of
the Argentine Embassy, returned
home tired and hungry.
The little fellow explained he
had been taken riding by the
chauffeur.
Jean Jacques attends st. Ste
phens School, and each afternoon
at 3 o'clock the family car is sent
for him. Sometimes he is allowed
to go for a ride after school, to the
Zoo, or out in the country.
Yesterday the chauffeur took the
boy out, and then drove a colored
companion to number of resorts,
not thinking that the grand
parents might be worried.
1t was 10 o'clock when the little
fellow walked into his grand
fathers home at 1643 Columbia
Rd. N. W., demanding food.
Detectives questioned William
Jordan, the colored chauffeur, who
explained he didn't think no one
would be bothered.

| INDEPENDENTS
CONTINUE
PLANS
Secret Scheme for Big
WaIkout' Reported;
Meeting Today

Although all taxicab drivers in
Washington were presumably on
duty today, in spite Of demands
for a strike promulgated by an
independent element among their
ranks, rumors continued that a
"big walkout" is being secretly
planned.
The complicated situation,
brought about by conflicting
claims among the various classes
Of hackers, stood as follows:
l. A group Of leaders among
the "owner-drivers" inde-
pendent of company or union
has already called two protest
meetings and was to gather
again today at p. m. in the
Typographical Temple.
2. Demands made by indie
pendents were being circulated
in writing and by word of
mouth around the city. Many
hackers expressed approval Of
some or all of these demands,
which include higher rates, a
limitation on the number Of
cabs licensed to operate and the
establishment OF board of con-
troll upon which representatives
Ct the "men behind the Wheel
would sit.
Approach P. U. c.
8. The independent leaders,
who claim between 400 and 500
men have attended their meet
ings, appeared before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission today
to press their proposals and
were told that body could legal
ly handle only that part of their
claims in which rates are in
volved.
4. Despite the fact that a
notice for today's meeting in the
Typographical Temple carried
the headline, "Strike Is on To
day." the independent leaders
denied they were calling a walk
out and no Vestige Of a strike,
even among the owner-drivers,
could be found.
S. Repre- esentatiVeS Of
the larger companies, such as
the Diamond Cab Company, de-
clared their drivers are con
tented" and are opposed to a
strike. It was indicated this
class Of drivers would not par
ticipate in a strike even if the
owner-drivers shut off their mo-
tors.
6. Adolph Hohensee, head Of
the A. F. of L. union which
claims 800 members among the
city's 5000 cabs, asserted flatly
he and his men are against the
movement, and that an abor-
tive attempt to create trouble"
after a meeting of the indepen-
dents last might ws Squelched
by his reorganization, which
placed two or three men in
each cab during the early morn
ing hours to prevent interrup-

sadorial Counselor of one of the
most involved countries, that re-
cent international disagreements
have so far ended principally in
talk. A dozen socalled incidents
have occurred lately, each Of
which has been more serious than
the one that brought on the World
War. And we are still talking.
Borders are crossed. Ships are
fired on. Troops are landed. And
we have no international war"
Suppose the smiling diplomatic
gentlemen were to break down
and speak their international
minds to each other. Here was
q thought.

Selor, Mortified, lit is not diplo-
