AUT0-RA|LER HITS
CAR, HURTING TWO
Automobile Plunged Over
Embankment in Crash
at Crossing.
By a Stan Correspondent OF The Star.


FORT MYER, Va, Dec. 15.-Two
motorists were injured and eight Vir-
ginla commuters bound for their places
OF employment in the Capital were
shaken up this morning when an auto
railer crashed into an automobile In
which the former were riding and
knocked it over a 20-foot embankment.
The injured motorists are James M.
Marshall, Al, Of 1920 Lee Highway,
Arlington, who suffered fractures of
the ribs. and Miss Grace M. Thorpe,
81, Of 26l8 Lee Highway, Arlington,
who received severe head injuries.
They were taken to Georgetown Hos
pital by the Clarendon Rescue Squad
1t was said by police that the auto
mobile, driven by J. K. Marshall Of
2620 Lee Highway, Arlington, drove
across the railroad tracks at Court
house Hill and Fort Myer drive as the
auto-railer, combination bus and
street car, reached the intersection.
Marshall, it is said, attempted to
avoid q collision by driving down the
tracks, but the auto-railer strock the
rear OF the automobile and knocked
1t over the embankment. The driver
OF the car escaped with minor cuts and
bruises and was taken home after first
aid treatment.
The auto-railer remained on the
tracks and continued on to Washing
ton after the mishap. Its passengers
were severely shaken up, but none was
injured. John Thompson of Vienna,
Va, was the operator of the auto
railer, police said.

sate. This tax proportion then ac-
tually becomes the Districts contri-
button. as the rent revenues are turned
back to the Government for the
Authority.
New York is to make its contribu-
don through this same tax exemption
principle.
Mr.. 1hlder said it was not possible
70 estimate in what proportion the
s3oOO,oOo will be used for site pur-
chases and construction, respectively,
because of the different factors to be
taken into consideration.
OF the $860.000 which the Author
ity has working, $5O1 500 has been
spent on projects complete or nearly
so, and the division of cost has been
"a per cent for land and 76 for con-
struction. OF the remaining fund, the
Authority has $4,000 tied up in the
site opposite the Commerce Depart
ment Building that is being used as a
parking lot until the Government
decides what is to be done with it.
The Authority head feels that the
land purchases have been made at
a decidedly reasonable figure, particu-
larly in view of the fact that they
are Government purchases. The law
limits the price to 1870 per cent of
assessed valuation and land has been
taken over at an average of 1l2 per
cent. with some pieces as low as 60
per cent.
Values Run Higher.
1t is pointed out, too, that the
values run higher because the land
Is in the built-up sections and has a
capital value-ss represented in the
rents the owners derive from the
buildings occupying it. Because it is
not committed to any one section,
however, the Authority is in a better
position to negotiate than it otherwise
would be.
The costs of the housing itself also
have been kept as low as possible, but
Mr.. 1hlder recalled that a IS per
cent boost in materials was en-
countered last winter, and added that
1t is not possible to foresee if there
will be repetition
The Authority draws plans along
the simplest lines, then throws the
project open to competitive bidding,
with the award going to the lowest
responsible offer.
Announcement of the housing grant
followed vigorous criticism of local
elum conditions, Monday night, by
Mrs. Roosevelt in addressing the
washington Housing Association. of
which she is honorary president. Mrs.
Roosevelt said that whatever is done
here can have an important bearing
all over the country, because of the
number of tourists who observe the
work. She pointed to conditions
within a few blocks of the White House
and expressed hope for a change.
Mr.. Ihlder said his present staff
would be sufficient to proceed with
the enlarged program, with the pos
Sible addition of an architect or two.
Land will be acquired by negotiation
wherever possible; where agreement
on price is not effective, condemna-
ton will be resorted to.

Crop Control WrangIe.
While the House debated the con-
troversial wage-hour issue, the Senate
still was wrangling over crop control,
the first item on President Roosevelt's s
legislative program.
The Senate yesterday defeated, 40 to
%, an amendment by Senator VAN
denberg, Republican. of Michigan to
limit expenditures under the farm
program to s5OO,OOO 900 a year.
Administration supporters, who op-
posed the amendment, said the pro-
gram might be less than that figure in
some years and exceed 1t in others.
Senator Vandenberg pointed out that
President Roosevelt had indicated op-
position to any bill calling for ex-
penoltures in excess of available funds.
Other Proposals Rejected.
The Senate also rejected proposals
to limit the Agriculture Departments
authority to reduce marketing quotas
of bright tobacco growers. and to
dairy farmers from corn marketing
quotas. 1t agreed, however, to exempt
corn normally used for ensilage.
