country because Of his one-man DEM
onstrations.
Yesterday he shouted: "You can't
arrest mel" Hockaday should have
known better. At headquarters he
told reporters he wanted to show
Nine. Perkins the chicken and then
take it to Senator Joseph Robinson.
He added he already had been ar
rested twice for attempting to con-
gratulate Gov. Frank Murphy and
other strike peace makers, once in
Detroit and again in Kansas City.
Hockaday says he is determined to
end war with his chicken feather
demonstrations. Recently he has
been using live chickens to reward
the enemies of industrial strife.
Woody said he plans to stop the
Spanish civil war with feathers and
settle the Supreme Court issue.
''Yes, I'm going to take up the
Supreme Court issue pretty soon"

THE shock Of fatal airplane
crash failed to break the spirit
Of Mrs. Martin johnson.
u She sat in her wheel chair
at the Mayflower Hotel today and dis
cussed her plans for future jungle ex-
plorations with enthusiasm and opti-
mism.
Mrs. johnson said she would try to
carry on" just as If she still were
guided by her husband, the companion
of countless adventures in little-known
quarters Of the world during the last
27 years.
The widow, who is here to lecture in
Constitution Hall tonight under au-
spices Of the National Geographic So
ciety, did not refer to the recent air.
plane crash which deprived her Of her
husband and injured her seriously.
Rather, she talked of returning to
Africa to revisit the jungles, whose
mysteries had always held such fas-
clnation for the two of them. Mrs.
Johnson wants to explore the Belgian
Congo and get some exclusive shots OF
the okapi, one Of the rarest of an
telopes, with a neck like a giraffe and
hindquarters like zebra.
Then, too, she hopes to capture a
full-grown gorilla, quite an under
taking in itself. Mr.. and Mrs. john
son learned something about captur-
ing great apes on their last expedi-
tion-a jaunt to remote sections Of
the East Indies. There the couple
took two huge orang-outangs.
One of these they made captive by
chasing him up tree and clearing
jungle growth from around the tree
before chopping it down. The natives

threw nets over the great ape as he
rushed for cover.
II think I can take full-grown
gorilla the same way" Mrs. Johnson
said, that is, if can obtain permit
from the government. Then I want
to study the pigmy tribes. They're al
ways amusing, these tiny people of the
jungle.
They have the mentality Of 10
year-olds and are natural born actors.
They go through their PAGES before
the camera quite naturally and with
out sef-consciousness and follow in
structions with all the simplicity Of
unspoiled children"
AS Mrs. johnson talked she grew
animated and laughed frequently. The
swift tragedy which overlook her a
few weeks ago was not apparent in
her face or manner.
There were a few scars under her
chin and her left leg was in a steel
brace from ankle to hip.
"Yes, took it on the chin" she
smiled, "does it show much, really? I
left the hospital before the doctors
had quite finished patching me up.
We had lecture engagements, you see,
and I had to carry on. My lecture
and radio work will occupy me at
least until next Fall, possibly for an
other year.
will I get tired Of so much civili-
nation? Well, I'm afraid 50, Maybe
III run away for little holiday in
the jungle, if my manager doesn't
mind too much"
Mrs. Johnson smiled and glanced
at her manager, who said nothing.
Il really am eager to get back to
Africa" she continued, but I have
work to do here first

D. c. SHARE IN ROAD
FUNDS APPROVED
Senate Committee Backs
Auto Responsibility Plan
and Sunday Bowling.
BY ]. A. OIEARY.

The District would be included in the
Federal-aid highway program, and its
automobile safety responsibility law
would be strengthened by two Of four
bills approved by the Senate District
Committee late yesterday The other
measures favorably reported are:
To allow bowling alleys to open on
Sundays from 2 pm. to midnight.
To increase the Federal allotment
for vocational rehabilitation work IN
the District from $4,000 to $25,000 q
year, provided the additional amount
IS matched by an equal sum from
District funds.
The highway measure, II enacted
into law, will enable Washington to
share along with the States and Terri
tories in the annual distribution Of
Federal grants for the development Of
a national highway system. Under
the present authorization of $125, 5,O00,-
900 for the country as q whole, the
District would be entitled to $4,000,
which would be matched by an equal
amount from District funds. District
highway officials, in consultation with
the Bureau of Public Roads, would
decide on the boulevards to be re-
garded as part of the Federal-aid
system.
The amendment to the safety re-
sponsibility law would apply that law
to any motorist who fails to pay an
accident Judgment claim, no matter
how small an amount Is involved.
As originally passed a few years
ago, the safety law provides that when
q motorist fails to pay an accident
judgment claim returned against him
in court amounting to 500 or more,
his driving permit is suspended until
he establishes future financial respon-
sibilty.
The bill approved yesterday strikes
out the 800 limitation, 80 that the
permit suspension rule would apply to
an unpaid Judgment Of any amount.
The committee indorsed the bill
promptly after it had been brought
out that in many accident cases the
amount Of damage is less than 500.
Harry s. Wender of the Scuthwest
Citizens Association spoke in favor Of
the bill.
The Federal-aid highway measure
was sponsored by Chairman King.
Among those who testified in support
of it were Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, for
the District government; Thomas J..
Keefe, for the Keystone Automobile
Club, and DR.. Llewellyn Jordan Of the
Board Of Trade.
All four bills probably will be con-
ndered By the Senate next week.

(By The Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1, - Forty thousand coast workers started ballotting today on peace proposals which leaders freely predicted will end the long ship ping tieup, possibly Thursday.
 Shipowners also are accepting the strike as virtually settled, and are preparing for the release of 240 ships in blockaded ports.
 They pointed out however, that the resumption of sailings would be gradual since the ships must be reserviced.
 They said the 1ongshoremen will get the first call to work as soon as the ratification of the maj ority of seven unions is complet- ed.
 The joint strike committee, in ordering the referendum, recom- mended the tentative agreements be approved, and points still in dispute will be submitted to ar bitration.
 No returns will be announced the committee said until the votes from all the ports have been for warded here and certified.
