With indications that the gate
will soar over the $4,000 mark,
Turner and Ahearn, local f1stic
moguls, will present their final
outdoor boxing show of the sea-
son tonight at Griffith Stadium,
with A rounds scheduled on the

mittee is hopeful of realizing some
thing like $4,000 for the needy
Riddles who can't afford to buy
their own lunches.
In what promises to be one OF
the most spectacular feather
weight matches of the year Lou
Gevinson, Matt Twomey'S prize
left-hander, will attempt to move
a notch up the lightweight ladder
in his l0-round bout with Danny
London, the clever youngster from
New York's East Side.
An interesting sidelight will be
the introduction of Clara Morten-
sen, the girl wrestler, from the
ring.
The match between Gevinson
and London promises to revive
memories of that intercity rivalry
between Benny Leonard and Lew
Tender. Both Gevinson and Lon
don are Jewish and just now are
two of the best prospects in their
division.
GRUDGE BATTLE

SALARY RAISES
SUFFER CHECK

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 90.
Legislative committees yesterday
adopted resolutions which will re-
suit in materially reducing raises
in salaries given few State Off
cials by Gov. Harry w. Nice.
In 1888, by executive action, a
sliding scale of salary reductions
for State employees was put into
effect. Governor Nice in his bud
get this year sought to restore so
per cent of the slash to some en-
ployes and fully restore and de-
cidedly raise others.
The committees announced they
would pursue a policy of restoring
so per cent of the salary cut to all
employees, making exceptions only
if necessary.
This will materially cut the
the salary of Robert Irwin, execu
tive secretary, who is given
$4,000 per year in the 1938-1939
budget, a raise of $1,000 over the
salary paid the executive Secre-
tary in 1888.
The commissioner of motor
vehicles, Walter Rudy, was given
a raise of $4,000 per year.
Delegate Kent r. Mullikin said
today he expected the two com
mittees would finish their study
of the budget by next Friday and
be able to offer any amendments
they considered needed by the fol
lowing Friday.

AUDITORIUM
|. PLAN SPEEDED

Early Senate action on the bill
to construct a Federal auditorium
in Washington was expected today
as the measure was reported to
the Senate by the Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds.
The possibility was bruited
about that Senator Joseph T. Rob-
inson, Senate majority leader,
who is sponsoring the legislation,
would ask unanimous consent for
consideration of the bill today.
At a hearing yesterday, at which
Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes was a witness, the bill was
favorably reported with amend
ments providing that the commits
sion it proposes to set up shall de-
termine proportionate contribu-
ton of the Federal and District
governments, and that the com.
mission shall also select a direc-
tor for the auditorium.
Previously the bill had provided
that the Secretary of the Interior
would be in charge.

SCHOOL BONDS
SELL RAPIDLY

ROCKVILLE, Md, Jan. 90.
Hope of Kensington (MdO resi-
dents for a Junior high school was
a step nearer realization today fol-
lowing the sale of $4,000 worth
of school bonds by the board of
Montgomery county commissioners
to provide funds for the project.
An act of the special session Of
the Maryland legislature last
spring authorized the sale Of the
school certificates and they were
purchased yesterday by the John
Nuveen Company, of Chicago, at
par-bearing interest at 3A per
cent.
Several sites for the proposed
first unit of a junior high school
for the Kensington area are now
under consideration by the county
school board and it is expected
that a decision on one Of them
will be made in the near future.
The school will probably be com.
pleted in time for the 1937-1938
school term.

z0NINGCHANGE
PLAN ADOPTED

Legislation designed to effect
drastic changes in the Zoning and
subdivision laws of the District will
probably be introduced in Congress
early in March, it was indicated
today.
The National Park and Planning
Commission, which has been
making a lengthy study Of these
laws, adopted report at its meet
ing today on the proposed changes.
The report was drawn up by
Harland Bartholomew, st. Louis
city planning expert, and Alfred
Bettman. Cincinnati expert, who
were engaged by the commission
to study local conditions and make
recommendations for changes.
After accepting the report the
commission handed it to a special
committee for further study and
recommendations which are to be
made at the February meeting.
Members of the special commit
tee are E. A. Dent, District sur
veyor; John Nolen, jr., chairman
of the commission; Capt. Hugh
Orem. of the Fine Arts Commits
sion and Vernon E. West, assistant
corporation counsel.
The Washington times., 1937-01-29

King CD of Utah, chairman Of
the Senate District Commit
tee, declared he favored certain
sections of the report, which
in it's entirety has been denounced
by many members of the House.
Senator King further announced
that he planned to appoint sub
committee to study the report,
with the possibility that he him
self would head the group.
In addition, the District Com
mittee chairman said he expected
to call his committee together
either late today or Monday morn
ing for its first meeting this sea-
son, at which time he would ap-
point the subcommittee.
The divergence of opinion over
the fiscal relations between the
Federal Government and District
government, though a matter Of
many years standing, has usually
found the Senate supporting the
District, and the House doing its
best to keep Federal support for
the District at minimum.
Now the situation seems to be
reversed, with many District
friends in the House having prom
ised to fight for a higher Federal
contribution than the $2,500, 900
recommended in the Jacobs report.
In the House, the House District
subcommittee appointed to study
the legislative proposals of the
Jacobs report is expected to hold
an organization meeting sometime
next week. Representative Jack
Nichols CD of Oklahoma is chair
man Of this group.
The other subcommittee, the one
appointed to study the tax provis-
ions Of the report, met yesterday
and announced that hearings will
begin on February l6.
