Four Considerations.
Rev. Mr.. Clinchy pointed out four
considerations that had been made by
the organizations in asking for a sup
Elemental appropriation. He said,
I'VE understand the problem of taxa
ton and recognize the factors that
may mean larger payments for citi-
zens of the District of Columbia;
second, we are aware OF the Presi-
dents need to reduce the budget as
better times come; third, We want
you to understand that We are not
asking Federal appropriation but
municipal appropriation; fourth,
the Council Of Social Agencies is as
much interested as others in get.
ting people of the relief rolls"
Statistics were cited by the speak
ers to show that demands for relief are
increasing rather than decreasing.

Hits Post Slated to
Go to Younger Men,
Der of D. c. Bar

President Roosevelt probably will
receive within a week the recon-
mendation of Attorney General
Cummings for filling the two Dis
trict Police Court judgeships, now
held by Judges John P. Mcmahon
and Isaac r. Hit, it was learned
today.
He is expected to appoint the
men recommended by the Attorney
General.
Mcmahon Due to Stay
Judge Mcmahon is understood
to be slated for reappointment on
his record. Government officials
in charge of the preliminary in.
vestigation which, under present
conditions, precedes all judicial ap-
pointmentS, are known to have re-
ported favorably on his fairness,
competence and devotion to jul
dicial duties.
Judge Hit is to be replaced
by a younger man chosen from
among three or four members of
the District bar who, in the view
of the Attorney General and his
aides, possess the qualifications
desired on the bench.
~ Negroes Lose Out
It was learned definitely that
the appointment would not go to
a colored lawyer. The activity Of
Negro leaders and their friends in
pressing for the appointment Of
one Of their race to the police
bench is understood to have de-
layed action on the appointments
for several weeks.
1t is known that they have lost
out, and that if the President
names the man to be recommended
by the Department of Justice the
appointment will go to an able
lawyer whose qualifications fit
him for an even higher post.
1t was intimated that the de-
partment'S recommendation would
be in line with the idea of devel-
oping a career service in the Fed
eral judiciary, by appointing
judges who, with experience and
maturity, could qualify for higher
appointments.

However, Merrill indicated that
the Transit Company was max.

criminate against older men in
the company'S employe. He said:
1--WE will never 90 so far as
to eliminate older men who
can't qualify to operate q one

CALLED NECESSARY STEP
Merrill pointed out that the
substitution of one-man cars for
the two-men cars now in opera
ton Is a vital factor in reducing
the expenses Of the company,
so that the utility can pay Q
fair return to its stockholders.
During the hearings before
the Public Utilities Commission

that it needs the increased
token fare of four tokens for
IS cents for which it is asking,
to bolster the financial structure

pected through a higher token

Merrill explained that this year
the pay roll will be $1,225,0 900

In addition to this boost in la
Dor costs due to pay raises, the
company will have to pay a sub
stantial sum under the Social Sc
curity Act.
In other industries, he pointed
out, such pay raises and costs are
passed along to the consumer, but
he said, it is neither the wish nor
the intent Of the company to take
such step.
