N st. N. W., told Traffic Court
Judge Edward M. Curran yester-
day that As years ago he had been
issued the first operators permit

cense to operate an early model

all of his As years of driving, he
said, until yesterdays speeding
charge was placed against him.

Says:

Say! When President ROOSe-
welt talks about recognizing
the Government, there's moth
ing halfway about it, as you can
see by those sweeping recon-
mendatiOnS he made, calling for
the addition of two new Cabinet
jobs. First, the New Deal, and
now the shuttle.
The idea seems to be that
these two departments of the
Cabinet will take over some Of
the hundred various Independent
agencies like the WPA, CCC. etc.
You know, sort of glOrified
"dead-letter" offices.
The President further adds
that their creation will really
save Uncle Sam money. =. Well.
having twins may save money
at birth. but it only takes a few
years for those youngsters to
learn to say "Gimme!"
In pressing such changes on
Congress, F. ID. r. asked the boys
to equip him with proper "tOOlS''
necessary to perform his duty
more efficiently. And he's
right! We can't expect even
a master craftsman to do every
thing with a WPA shovel.

HOLDERS
TO SEE THREE
PARADES
official Inaugural
Cars Will Precede
Military March

Holders of seats in the Inaugu-
raj Committees stands along
Pennsylvania Avenue will be
treated to a four-and-a-half-hou
spectacle next Wednesday when
Franklin Delano Roosevelt takes
his second oath of office, Rear
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, general
chairman of the Inaugural Com
mittee, announced today.
From 1880 a. m, the time
when President Roosevelt, Vice
President Garner and other in
augural dignataries leave the
White House for the Capitol, un-
til the parade terminates, there
will be something to occupy the
attention of the seat holders.
Through the public address syS-
tenn, the ticket holders will have
the opportunity of listening in on
the actual inaugural ceremony at
the Capitol.
See Three Parades
In effect the seat holders will
view three parades. The first
will be the trip of the Presidential
party, including a police motor
cycle escort, secretary service
cars, press cars and four scout
cars, an entirely new service in
the United States Army, which
will be occupied by buglers.
The second parade will be the
trip of the Presidential party
back to the White House, the
parade being increased by cars
of the Joint Congressional In
augural Committee, officials of
the Iaugural Committee, military
and Naval aides of the White
House and the White House
secretariat.
The third parade will be the
two-hour all-military line OF
march.
Representatives of six veterans
organizations have been designated
as a guard Of honor to President
Roosevelt by Rear Admiral Gray
son to serve in the court of honor

D. E. Behavior Clinic
Wins Nolan S BaCkinQ

Support Of the suggestion by
Police Court Judge Edward M.
Curran for establishment of a be-
havior clinic as part Of the court
came today from DR.. James A.
Nolan, secretary of the Washing
ton Council Of Social Agencies.
He termed the present pro-
cedure of sentencing law offenders
to prison without any attempt at
correction expensive and dan
gerous." He declared that such a
practice in many cases tends only
to make the unfortunates worse
enemies of society. DR.. Nolan
expressed his views at a meet
ing of the law and order COM
mittee on the Junior Chamber of
Commerce.

ton will grow out of the report.
Dirksen termed the "three-point
formula" recommended by the
committee to be used in deter
mining the amount of Federal as
sistance should be given the Dis
trict as exceedingly compleX," :"
and added:
"It will be difficult to evaluate
the cOntractural services for
which the formula proposes the
respective governments shall re-
imburse each other. Personally,
think it will be impossible to
work out an equitable basis for
determining how much the
Federal Government should pay
the District for certain services,
or vice versa" ,.,
EVALUATION PROBLEM
He pointed out that in the re-
port, it is admitted that certain
services cannot be evaluated defin-
itely, and commented that if this
fiscal committee which proposes
such system cannot agree with it
self, it should not expect the Con
gress to reach any determination
of these things.
Mr.. DirkSen also declared that
the portion of the report which de-
velops the history of the other va
riouS studies which have been made
of the Federal.DiStrict fiscal Situ-
alton cannot be brought into use
in arriving at anything concrete in
connection with the present situ-
alton because the conditions dur
ing the interim have so materially
changed. He said:
I'm former years the Federal
Government had but little prop
erty in the Capital City, and the
town was not developed as it is
today.
81 feel that it is impossible
for anyone to argue that this
city should not be reimbursed
for its failure to be able to
collect taxes from the Federal
Government for the land which
the Federal buildings occupy.
FEAR OTHER CLAIMS
"Of course, we could not ex-
pect the Federal Government
to pay taxes on its property
here, for if the Congress made
that possible here, other cities
where the Federal Government
has buildings could make the
same claim.
"But, here, in Washington,
it is different. The Federal
Government here has taken up
a great proportion of the most
valuable land in the city, and
the City's revenue suffers ma
terially."

30 PETITIONERS
CITE 5000
IN DISTRESS
Committee Will Study
WeIfare's Request
For S38O,OOO

Citing pitiable cases Of families
in dire need and on the verge Of
starvation, representatives of 30
social organizations called upon
the District Commissioners today
to support the Board of Public
Welfare's recommendation for an
$830,000 deficiency relief appro-
priation.
At the conclusion of the hear
ing, Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen announced the city heads
were very sympathetic to the ap-
peal" and it was agreed subcom-
mittee of five of the delegation
will be appointed to meet with the
Commissioners in devising course
of action.
5000 Needy
The Rev. Russell J. Clinchy,
chief spokesman for the delega-
ton, told the Commissioners that
there were 5000 families in the
city who needed immediate help,
and who are ineligible for direct
relief because one or more men,
bers of the family are in the en-
playable class.
The serious financial straits Of
the city were called to the atten-
tion of the delegation which was
asked how the money was to be
raised to meet the appropriation.
Virtually all spokesmen urged in
creased taxation and told the
Commissioners that no matter
how the money is obtained the ap-
preparation must be raised to
avert starvation and suffering
this winter.
TumuIty Heard
An eloquent appeal was made
by Joseph P. Tumulty, former
secretary to the late President
Wilson who represented the
Christ Child Society. He criti.
cized the Commissioners for spend.
ing money on public buildings
and other projects instead of max
irg the relief problem their chief
concern. He said the relief situa-
ton should take precedent in the
Commissioners attention over
the Inauguration, the Presidents
Birthday Ball and other affairs.
He said:
Il am convinced that If I sat
in your places 1 would find a
way to obtain this money. You
can go to the White House
where you will find a man most
sympathetic in a situation of
this kind"
Mrs. Ruth Buchanan, Of the
Southwest Children's Council
told the commissioners:
"If you can raise money for
parades, balls and sidewalks
for parks, you certainly should
be able to raise money for the
poor"
Other speakers included Can
non Anson Phelps Stokes, Walter
F. Ufford, George CIeary and
Campbell johnson.

Mrs. Wilbur w. Hubbard is about

Mrs. Hubbard lives in a famous

at the Mayflower in the winter.
Mrs. Edward B. MeigS, who has

GROCERY GRAIN

Close to 1900 employees In the
Sanitary Grocery Company's 800
stores went on strike today, fol-
lowing a mass meeting last night
at which the strike was voted.
Union officials declared about
80 per cent of the employees were
out. The company declined to
discuss the strike, but admitted a
few stores failed to open this
morning.
Picket lines were established in
front of all the stores, and re-
suited in a number of police calls
as pickets attempted to talk pros
pective customers out of entering
the stores. There were no arrests,
however, and no disorder.
Union officials said employees of
the company in Richmond, Va,
walked out today and that it was
possible the strike would spread
to Baltimore.
\ The strike was called, union
officials said, after the company
seemed diSinclined toward a col
lective bargaining contract.
The contract presented two
weeks ago 10y the union calls for
a 51-hour week at a $21 base pay,
with time-and.a-half for overtime,

DEFIANT TOKYO
SPURNS PARLEY
BY JAMES R. YOUNG

TOKYO, Nov. u ON. 81.
spurred by Nippon's smashing
victories at Shanghai and other
parts Of China, the Japanese gov
eminent today. for the second
time tossed a monkey wrench into
the Brussels nine-power treaty
conference on the Sino-JapaneSe
war.
Maintaining the same defiant
attitude that led to rejection OF
an invitation to attend the par
ley, the Japanese cabinet declined
an invitation to participate in an
exchange Of views" on the con-
flict with a mediation subcommit-
tee appointed by the conference.
Decision to spurn the invitation
to "talk it over" was reached by
the cabinet at a meeting today
which followed one postponement
Of all consideration Of the idea
despite proddings by the Belgian
ambassador for haste.
Observers here believed that
Japan deliberately delayed her an
swer to give her military forces in
China more time to consolidate
their victories already won and
gain new triumphs-thus putting
Japan in a better position for
diplomatic horse trading.
