REVIEWS FIGHT
FOR AIRPORT

Hone that there would be some
break in the department battle
that is holding up introduction OF
the airport bill by Senator Will
liam H. King Cd, of Utah, chair
man of the airport commission
mounted today as the Senator re-
newed efforts to have the bill ap-
proved by the commission.
He is holding up its introduc-
tion for unanimous approval OF
his commission, which is split over
the question of whether the War
or Commerce Department should
control the field. p,
Realizing that every day that
masses, dimS the chances OF ap-
nroyal of the legislation at this
session of Congress, the chairman
is working to bring the commits
sion into agreement.
ThN fact that so many Difficult
ties have arisen to plague those
who are working for an airport
since the selection of Camp
Springs, Md, as the site, has
riven rise on Capitol Hill to the
belief that it. will be next year
before Congress authorizes con.
struction Of the port.

"A fresh start toward eliminating
some of Washington's greatest
traffic hazards has begun in the
House with the, introduction of a
bill by Representative Vincent
Palmisano CD, Maryland. chair.
man of the House District Com.
mittee, to set up an instruction
course for motorists.
Under the Palmisano measure a
section of Anacostia flats would
be set aside for beginners to prac.
tice and for the police to give
driving tests.
This plan first was suggested
by W.. Hamilton Owen, of New
York, to Commissioner Melvin c,
HAGEN and Traffic Director Viii.
liam A. Van Duzer.
It is planned to develop the

LAW CHANGES

Drinking hard liquor at lunch
counters would be permitted un-
der the provisions of one of three
amendments, to the local liquor
laws approved today by the House
District Committee at its last
meeting.
The other two liquor law
amendments would allow those
whose licenses were suspended or
revoked by the ABC Board to ap-

of to the Commissioners. as at
present, and would prevent large
quantities Of tax-free liquor from
coming into the District.
The amendments, which will be

day.
Representative Vincent L. Pal

SEAL TO NAME
3B0ARDA|D

Corporation Counsel Elwood H.
Seal was expected today to name
three of his assistants on the
extraordinary board of review or
dered by the Commissioners to
determine whether the record OF
a special trial board in exonerat-
ing William r. Wood, superintend-
emit of garbage collections, was
justified.
The city heads took unusual
action in naming the board OF re-
view yesterday Immediately after
receipt of the trial boards find.
ing. The trial board, composed
of Director of Sanitation John B.
Gordon, Supervisor of City Refuse
William Vanten and Assistant
Corporation Counsel Stanley De
Neale, heard Is charges made
against Wood by II of his sub
Ordinates.
The trial board recommended
that all employees fearful Of dis
elimination because Of testifylng
against Wood be transferred to
other city refuse jobs at no re-
duction in pay. The board also
recommended that nothing but
official business be transacted at
the garbage transfer station and
that no collections for charitable
purposes, other than those spe'
officially authorized by the Com
missioners, be taken up. The lat
ter recommendation dealt with a
charge against Wood that he
forced employees to contribute
each payday to collection tor
an aged colored woman known
as Aunt Mary"

GARBAGE N EN-
PRESS FIGHT
ION WOOD
Row With 3, C. Heads
To Be T aiken to Hill
If Necessary

The city's garbage collectors to.
day declared they would take their
fight with the city officials to
Capitol Hill, if necessary, and
should they fail to obtain satisfac-
ton there, they'll refuse to remove
refuse until satisfaction is given.
Satisfaction, according to James
Kimbroe, business agent of the
collectors union, consists of the
removal of Superintendent w. r.
Wood. Of the division Of garbage
collection, who several weeks ago
was cited to the Commissioners by
members of the union who charge
he failed to supervise properly.
Charges of whitewash and Of
fetal bias were heard from the
collectors early this week when AS
Sistant Corporation Counsel STAN
ley DeNeale reported to the Com
misSioners that a study of the
Wood trials records disclosed in
sufficient reasons for ousting him.
A three-weekS delay of DeNeale'S
report and the context Of it when
finally it was presented caused a
protest from Kimbroe who said
not all of the men who made the
charges against Wood could have
been mistaken, and charged that
from the beginning Of the trial it.
self "it was apparent the charges
against Wood would be smeared."
In reply Commissioner Dan I.
Sultan referred the trial record to
Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal
as head Of a three-man board
which he appointed to reStudy the
case.

WHITE PLAGUE
FIGHT TOLD
BYD0CT0R
Needs of Clinic Here,
Work Described
ByCouIter

Four years ago there appeared
before a Senate subcommittee con-
Sidering a District appropriation
bill a man who said:
~ come to state the case Of
600 persons who will die Of
tuberculosis In the District Of
Columbia during 1888. Most Of
these persons will die Of neglect,
though the death notices will
state that the cause was tuber-
cul0siS." -.. g.. b..
He was DR.. A. Barkne Coulter.
Today he is doing something about
that neglect, as director OF the
District Health Departments Blu"
reau of tuberculosis.
From his office in the Chest
Clinic at Third and C Streets
Northwest, he directs a staff OF
eight doctors, a corps Of nurses,
six secretarial-clerkS and a tech
nician in a daily battle against
a rising T. B. death rate-662 last
year, second highest in the
country.
Clinic In Residence
The doctor heSitatingly admits
that the clinic-nerve center OF
Washington's operations against
the dread malady-is inadequate.
In the clinic building, which was
converted from q large residence,
hundreds of patients fill a wait
ing room that rang with the tinkle
of champagne glasses at the turn
of the century. X-ray apparatus
fills q former bedroom and ex-
aminations are given in what used
to be a dining room.
All traces of q fashionable resi-
dence are lost, however, in the &C.
tivity of the clinic today. An aver
age of five patients per hour are
treated under a system inaugu-
rated by DR.. Coulter, in which
modern medicine is taking the
fear of death out of the disease,
which has been called "the white
plague"
Careful Check
Under the system a personal
file is kept not only of infected
persons, but of every member Of
that persons family, so that the
disease, which spreads through
contact, may checked. An advo-
cate of the theory that public
health may be bought" DR..
Coulter directs his staff under a
three-point program. It follows:
HOSpitaliZe and keep hOspi-
taliZed every open case Of tu-
bercuIOSiS.
Examine all contacts with tn.
bercuIOSiS.
Examine all contacts with
children under 5 who have q
positive tuberculin.
The tuberculin tests, q com.
paratively new and one Of the
most effective methods Of check
ing spread Of the disease, is done
with the aid of a hypodermic.
This test is made monthly on all
employees at the Chest Clinic.
Contact Chief Cause
Records completed this month
show that there are SO deaths be-
fore the age Of 16 from tubercu-'
losis out of the total number Of
662. Thirty-five of these deaths
occurred before the age of S.
Eighteen of the So died between
the ages of IL and is.
Pointing out the value Of the
tuberculin test, DR.. Coulter said:
Tuberculosis Is not in
herited. 1t comes from contact

BARLEY
SYMPATHIZES
With CITY
Unable to Say Just the
Form That Measure
Will Take

Although the question was not
discussed in the Democratic eau.
Gus today, Senator william H.
King CD of Utah led a deter
mined behind-the.scenes fight to
get relief for the city. Acting in
his capacity as chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, the
Utah member approached the new
leader before the vote was taken
and sought to put the measure
over.
King Sure of Bill
At the conclusion of the caucus,
Senator King said:
"YOu will get your bill. I do
not know in what form the Dis
trict tax measure will be finally
pa>~>d by the Senate, but in any
event a tax measure will be ap.
proved at this session.
There was no discussion Of
the court bill in the caucus today
and so / do not whether the
fight will be resumed or not.
If the court bill is recOmmitted
to committee hope that the
District tax measure will be the
next business Of the Senate. I
am going to do all I can to bring
this about.
ION the other hand, II the
court fight continues, / intend
to ask unanimous consent to lay
aside the court bill temporarily
in order to consider the District
tax problem. / think the new
leader is sympathetic and am
sure that we will have q tax
measure ut this session."
PALMISANO HOPEFUL
Following a meeting Of the
House District Committee Repre-.
sentative Palmisino was asked re.
garding the financial crisis in the
District. He said:
Il have talked with Senator
King chairman Of the Senate
District COnmittee) and we de.
cided that II he can get the
bill to permit the District to
borrow from the Federal Treas
ury passed by the Senate, we
think there will be little trouble
in getting it through the House,
despite the House action Mon
day. I still think there was
much misunderstanding on the
part Of House members concern
ing the bill on Monday, and I
think that when It is called up
again the matter will be cealred
up"
He asked Elwood Seal, corpora
ton counsel, to submit data show
ing that the District heretofore
was permitted to borrow from the
Federal Government and that that
money is being repaid regularly At
$1,000,0 900 a year as was agreed
upon. He added:
