Both with respect to the interests

gent counselors with a real sense of
the ultimate public good.
One of the great masters calls them

Bank Board, which has the right to

agement of the institution. The ques-
ton of management of these new
Federal savings and loan associations
is said to be vital
The Home Loan Bank Board will
have financial interest in the in
stitution, it is understood, because it
is expected the Home Owners Loan
Corp. will invest in certain shares of
the new institution. But in no case
will this investment authorize more
than so votes by the board.
The reorganization of the old Fidel-
ity will be an innovation among closed
institutions of this city for another
reason. Under the new plan, the as
sets of the old Fidelity will be sold
outright on the basis of IS per cent to
the new association. All of the assets
of the old outfit 60 into the new one.
There will be no leftover assets to be
put in the hands of receiver or a
liquidating trust to be liquidated, as
has happened in the case OF nearly all
other closed financial institutions in

D. c. SUPPLY BILL
MEETS NEW DELAY
Committees Report to
House Now Probable
on March 20.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The 1888 District appropriation bill,
carrying, in addition to funds to oper-
ate the municipal government for an
other year, the fate of the Jacobs
three-point fiscal relations plan, prob
ably will be reported to the House
March 20, as a result of sudden al
teration today in the legislative pro-
gram of the House for the coming
week.
Plans had been made by Chairman
Collins of the subcommittee on ap-
preparations in charge of the measure
to present the bill to the House Thurs
day House leaders, however, made
other arrangements, and told him a
delay would be necessary. Collins took
advantage of the postponement and
left Washington for a weeks vacation,
TO recover, he said, from the ordeal
he underwent in connection with the
recent hearings on the 1888 budget
estimates and the study of the Jacobs
fiscal relations formula
Study Broadens.
In the meantime, leading members
Of the District legislative committee
of the House went ahead with plans
for resuming the investigate of the
Jacobs plan on a broader scale than
originally proposed. Aside from the
fiscal relations study, the committee
is expected to authorize an exhaus-
tive survey designed to bring about
a thorough reorganization of the mu-
nicipal government in the interest OF
efficiency and economy.
Definite plans for reviving the
study will be made at a meeting of
the District committee Wednesday.
At that time Chairman Norton and
Representatives Kennedy of Mary
land and Nichols of Oklahoma, both
Democrats, intend to have detailed
program prepared for consideration
of the committee.
Another Subcommittee Likely.
Kennedy was chairman of one of
the two subcommittee created some
time ago to analyze the Jacobs plan
and Nichols headed the other. These
two subcommittee halted their work,
however, fearing they were working
at cross purposes" Another SUBJ
committee of three members is ex-
pected to be appointed to take over
the work of the two subcommittee as
well as study plans for reorganizing
the District government.
Chairman Norton discussed the
plans at conference yesterday with
Nichols. She also conferred with j.
L. Jacobs, Chicago efficiency engineer
who directed the fiscal relations study
on which the three-point formula is
predicated, but did not disclose the
purpose of the conference.

1000 TO GET Jobs

MANY INELIGIBLE
Capital Quota Raised From

ing Called Off.

RANKED AS UNQUALIFIED
Increase Still Leaves Need of
$S30,000 Supplement Relief
Appropriation.

One thousand additional needy men
and women in the District will be
given jobs on the District w. P. A.,
but none of them can be drawn from
the group for which municipal well
fare leaders asked for a supplemental
relief appropriation of S830,00O
This development stood out today
after representatives of the Workers
Alliance, Local No. 3, staged a brief
picket about the District Building in
protest against the dismissal a week
ago Friday of 342 men from the Fed
eral w. P. A, project at Boiling Field.
Otto j. Cass, deputy District w. P.
A. administrator, promptly protested
that the 342 men had been dismissed
through misapprehension that the
past District quota for the w. P. A.
had been reduced.
Gets Word of Increase.
He revealed that just five minutes
before the picket line was established
about the District Building, he had
received an official notice that the
District quota could be increased from
6,400 to 7,400 persons.
David Dixon, described as national
representative of the Workers Alli-
ance, after hearing the explanation of
the Boiling Field dismissalS, withdrew
the pickets. Cass said he had not
learned of the Boiling Field project
dismissals until Monday and that
some 200 of the men since had been
reaSSigned to other projects.
CaSs said the increase in the quota
would not afford aid to those who
were dropped from the District relief
list about 10 months ago, since they
were not certified by relief authori-
ties as being in need Of relief.
Not More Than 1000 Certified.
He said there were not more than
1000 persons already certified for w.
P. A. jobs, by relief officials, who had
been awaiting assignment to jobs
To be eligible for w. P. A. Jobs,
1t is necessary first to have been on
relief and to have been certified by
relief officials to the w. P. A. as
eligible for a job.
Inc I,oUU 10 5,OOO persons deemed
In need of direct relief, and for whom
the supplemental appropriation has
been urged by District officials and
spokesmen for the Council of Social
Agencies, cannot get on the District
direct relief roster because the avail
able funds are too limited.
The supplemental appropriation of
So30,000 for these persons, urged by
the Board of Public Welfare, was re-
1ected at the Budget Bureau. In
passing on that proposal John Keddy,
in charge of District appropriation
matters, suggested that church organi-
cations should take care of needy Dis
trict residents beyond the unemploy-
ables now on the District relief list.

act The court meets tomorrow and
1t may hand down a decision then or
postpone 1t until Tuesday, June 2, the
final day Of the terms. Many pre-
dictions are being made that the court
will uphold the act. If it does, the
opponents Of the Presidents program
feel that another definite answer to
the court bill will have been given.
Senator Burke of Nebraska, a leader
OF the opposition to the court bill, will
seek to have the Senate Judiciary
Committee report out favorably q con-
stitutional amendment dealing with
the Supreme Court His amendment
would fix the size of the court at nine,
provide for voluntary retirement at 10
and compulsory retirement at rs. 1t
would also provide that vote OF 7-to-2
or more would be necessary to hold a
law of Congress unconstitutional. He
is inclined to leave this latter pro-
vision out, in view of the fact that the
committee turned down, by a vote Of
IL to s, an amendment offered by
Senator Norris to the Presidents court
bill, making the same proposition. II
he can get his amendment reported
favorably about the time that the
Presidents bill is reported adversely
to the Senate, Senator Burke feels that
it would occupy strategic position.
The Judiciary Committee Is expected
to meet tomorrow.
Senator Burke yesterday received 4
telegram from the National Committee
to Uphold Constitutional Government
congratulating him upon his court
stand. "On behalf of hundreds Of
thousands of American citizens In
every State Of the Union, we congratu-
late you on your courageous and inde-
pendent action in voting against the
Supreme Court reorganization BILL" it
said. The telegram also declared
against any compromise It was signed
