INAUGURAL

With President Roosevelt's damp

colds and coughs in its wake, the
idea of holding future inaugurals
in cherry blossom time attracted
many supporters on Capitol Hill
today.
What a relief it would be, the
general expression of opinion ran,
rot to have to worry about in
augural weather. Just to set the
date for sometime in April or May
and not worry about rain, sleet or
snow.
The idea found Staunch cham

O'Leary Cd, of New York, who
promised to introduce a resolution

posing that the oath Of office be
administered on January 20, as
provided by the law, but that the

through one of the buildings at

tive Ross Collins CD, of Missis-

mittee, several days ago gave every
indication that he will not be
bound by the Jacobs report, and
limited that he would seek much
fairer treatment for the city than
is recommended in the report of
the Fiscal Affairs Committee.
Today, three of the other four
members of the committee, none
of whom ever have served on a Dis
trict appropriations subcommittee,
asserted that they have no def
mite attitude either on the side of
the city or the findings Of the
Fiscal Committee.
Starnes' Comment
Representative Joseph Starnes
DD, of Alabama, one of the new
members, commented:
"Of course, I heard consider
able argument about the Fed
eral contribution last year when
Representative Blanton was
chairman of the subcommittee.
But I did not pay much atten-
ton to what he or those who
opposed him had to say on the
subject.

Oil Men Fight Plan
To Boost Gas Tax

Preparing to fight against the
proposal for a one-cent increase in

newly organized District Oil
Dealers Association has called a

to make formal protest against
the proposal.
Composed of oil dealers, filling
station operators and tank wagon
drivers, the Socia tion was
formed last night in the Willard

Ken Murray
Says:

(Ken Murray is now appearing
in person at the Earle Theater.)
That's an interesting test Of
the Townsend Plan they're con-
ducting out in the State of Wash
ingtOn, where they've given q
63-year-Old unemployed orchard
worker $500 to spend in month,
so they can trace where the
money goes Seems to me
there isn't much mystery about
what happens to a dollar when
it's turned loose in circulation.
1t just goes the way of all cash
and ends up with the tax col
leCtOr.
From the way the old fellow
is using a lot of it to pay his
creditors, it looks like a case of
into the valley of debt goes the
two hundred.
Naturally, when the expert
ment is over, it's going to be
quite a let-dOwn for the old
boy Two hundred a month is
enough t. make any unemployed
man wish he was a guinea pig
for life.
OF course, this idea of getting
money for nothing isn't exactly
new, only the proposed source
has been changed from the Wall
Street of 1929, to the Washing
ton of 1887.
But instead of wasting their
time trying to follow money after
it's spent, those Townsend sup
pOrters should devote some ef-
fort to try and find out what
happened to their candidate,
Lemke, after election.

Park Savings Figure

Application of Benedict M. Nc
Neil. AZ, a central figure in the
two-million-dollar collapse of the
Park Savings Bank, for parole
from a prison term he is now Serv.
ing in the District Reformatory
at Lorton, Va, was denied today
by the District Parole Board.
In a statement regarding the
case the Parole Board said:
Applicant denies his guilt,
but the board cannot go behind
his conviction. The board, how
ever, feels that the minimum
sentence of eight months is not
adequate in view of the nature
of the OffenSe and the amount
of suffering which it caused.
The people of the District of Co
lumbia have in recent years Suf-
fered far too much injury from
persons in position of trust who
betrayed their trust for personal
advantage, with careless dis
regard for the rights of others
and for the suffering which
would be caused by their wrong
doing. The feeling of the pub
lie on this subject is probably
such that there would be doubt
about the willingness of the COM
munity to assist in the rehabili-
tatiOn Of applicant if he were re-
leased after serving only eight
months. Parole is denied"
