WON
. TO CAPITAL RACING
Palmisano Not to Oppose
Measure if 1t Is "Fair"
to Maryland.

Representative Vincent l.. Palmi-
sano, Democrat, Of Maryland. who
was instrumental in pigeon -holing a
bill In the last Congress to legalize
horse racing in the District, disclosed
today he would not oppose similar leg
1slation in the new Congress If 1t does
not give the District an unfair ad-
vantage" over Maryland.
A new bill to make horse racing
legal in the District under the pari-
mutuel system is expected to be in
troduced in the near future. Walter
O'Hara, operator of the Narragan-
sett race track. has promised to erect
a similar track in Washington If Con-
gress legalizes horse racing.
AS chairman of the judiciary SUBJ
committee Of the House District Com
mittee in the last Congress, Palmisano
let the racing bill die in his subcom-
mittee along with so other measures.
Frankly, he admitted he was not in
sympathy with the original racing
bill because, he said, it was unfair"
to Maryland. which has four race
tracks.
Held Bill Unfair.
Palmisano's chief objection to the
original bill was that 1t would have
allowed 80 days of racing in the
District, whereas the four Maryland
tracks are permitted to operate for
only Is days each, or a total of 100
days a year. He also opposed a pro-
vision that would have allowed the
District only 10 per cent Of the total
amount wagered during the meet.
Maryland tracks, Palmisano pointed
out, are required to turn over to the
State $4,000 day for each day they
are in operation. in addition to other
charges. including per cent of the
total amount going through the pari-
mutuel machines.
You see," Palmisano said, "the
Maryland tracks would be placed at
an unfair advantage with a track in
the District under the original racing
bill. If the new bill removes these
inequities I will not oppose It,"
Kennedy Approves Racing.
Representative Ambrose j. Ken
nedy. another Maryland Democrat.
who also is a member of the District
Committee, said he approves legalzed
horse racing in the District. He said
ne is not concerned over such details
as is Palmisano.
1T might be well to give the Mary
land tracks little competition" he
said.
Kennedy believes. however, that a
racing schedule could be worked out
that would not compete or interfere
with the meetings at the four Mary
land tracks.

WHAT YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT
FACE PIMPLE

These disfiguring little spots often
result from a slight, temporary dis
turbance, or merely from incorrect
cleansing, or sometimes they are
more persistent due to deeper in
ternal causes.
While properly treating the un-
derlying cause, you can relieve the
itchy, burning soreness and help
your skin by using an ointment that
will keep the medication in contact
with the pimply spots. Apply it
every night and leave it on all
night. It does a world Of good.
For more than 40 years people
have used Resinol Ointment to fill
this need. 1t soothes the irritation
and aids healing. 1t also treats the
oil pores where many surface pim-
Piles start. Washing first with
Resinol Soap quickens the pleasing
results.
Buy a jar Of Resinol Ointment
and cake Of Resinol Soap from any
druggist. For free sample write

u. s. PHOTOGRAPHS.
CENSUS RECORDS
Films Expected to Be of
Great Value in Social
Security Age Disputes.

Microscopic names on motion pic
ture films stored in the files of the
Census Bureau may prove a deciding
factor in future disputes over the
age Of applicants for social security
benefits.
To meet the anticipated demand
for proof Of age in connection with
benefits. the bureau has started copy
ing on film the 100000 names re-
corded in the 1924 volumes Of the
census of 1880. Use of the films not
only will provide a lasting, easily
consulted record. but will reduce file
volumes to one-twentieth the bulk
required for ordinary records.
Batteries of specially built automatic
Photographic printers have been in
stalled in the Commerce Department
Building and now are at work reducing
millions Of pages Of deteriorating paper
records to tiny rolls of film. At the
same time, machines Of different
type were set to work recording the
rs 900, 900 names in the 1900 census,
contained on 100000 file cards.
The census reports of 1880 and 1900
contain the facts expected to be of
the greatest value to people attempting
to qualify for benefits under the new
social security act. The volumes OF
the 1890 census have been destroyed
by fire and water.
The volumes Of the 1880 and 1900
counts form the only documentary
evidence Of the birth of many Amer
leans, since registration of births by
local authorities was not general prior
to 1915.
Copying of the records by photog-
raphy will preserve the original docu-
ments Of the human history OF the
country from the wear and tear of
frequent handling; solve the serious
problem Of storage, expedite the search
for names and provide duplicate files
in case Of destruction by fire of one
set.

possible further disorder and permit
an early resumption of work by the
many industrial plants now idle"
The first formal comment from Gen.
eral Motors on Monday nights riot
was statement by Knudsen that il
lis very much to be deplored." Knud-
sen said that because the plant was
closed the company watchmen hao
been instructed to handle no pro-
visions or supplies, but "the strikers
were not prevented from handling
their food themselves"
The street fight was an aftermath
of what union leaders charged was
an attempt to prevent the .stay-in'
strikers from getting their food.
The General Motors executive as.
serted the company had mot import
ed any guards" saying all of them are
Flint residents. He added that ''the
only imported men in Flint today are
found in the ranks OF the union"
He said the corporation will not de
prive the men in the plant of lights

heat was turned of at the time of the
riot.
John L. Lewis. head Of the Commit
tee for Industrial Organization. with
which the u A. w. A. is affiliated, re-
vealed in Washington last night that
he plans to ask Congress to investigate

Lewis proposed that Congress in
vestigate the financial structure OF the
corporation. salaries paid its execu-
tives, company earnings. the relation
ship between it and the Du Pont FAM
lily. the Flint riot and the Michigan
judiciary.
He also said he wants Congress to
ascertain whether foreign financiers
should dictate labor policy in Amer
ica," whether General Motors MAIN
tains "arSenals," whether 1t has en-
gagged q breaking agency and
whether Knudsen and Alfred P. Sloan,
president, are mere Office boys"
Closings and curtailments of General
Motors plants scheduled for today will
leave 1l3.800 employees idle by tonight
Disorders Held Provoked.
Martin said in a statement tele-
phoned from Washington Monday
nights violence in Flint was "delib-
erately provoked for the purpose of
dispossessing the sit-down strikers by
vioIent means"
THE police had no legal right to
assist General Motors in efforts to
interfere with the strikers occu-
pancy of the plants and to dispossess
them by forcible means" he declared.
Their duty is to preserve the peace
and not to provoke interference with
the peaceful group of workers, In q
way tending to provoke disorder and
bloodshed The Flint police have
violated the law and their oath Of
Office by engaging in a private enter
prise with companay-hire thugs"
He said General Motors had i'm

FRANK DISMISSAL
LEGISLATIVE ISSUE
Several Bills Seek Curb OF
Appointive Powers of
La Toilette.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press
MADISON, Wis, January 13.-The
Wisconsin Legislature assembled today
for its sixty-third regular session with
some members determined to make
an issue OF DR.. Glenn Franks recent
dismissal from the University OF Wis
eonsin presidency.
legislators in both Democratic and
Republican ranks have proposed an
Investigation of the Frank custer and
several bills have been drafted which
would reorganiZe the university Board
OF Regents to take some of the ap-
pointive power from Gov. Philip F.
La Toilette.
Gov. La Follette's colleagues have
assured him he will control the AS
sembly. although members of his Pro-
gressive party lack majority in either
house.
Few Senate Votes Needed.
In the Senate he needs only one or
two extra votes for control. Whether
these could be found leaders said,
depended partly upon legislative re-
action to the Frank dismissal, which
was voted by La Follette-appointed
regents.
The Governor returned yesterday
from Washington. where he conferred
with President Roosevelt on unem-
ployment and relief problems.
The Governor has announced he will
sponsor plan of public works to alb
sorb common labor and clerical groups
that have not found jobs through Fed
eral or private agencies.
Republican leaders in both Houses
beckoned to Democratic members to
form coalition which might exercise
control over all La Toilette measures.
Liberal Democrats, who claimed the
leaders of their regular State Commit
tee were not in accord with the pro-
gram of President Roosevelt, recently
set out to prevent any kind of agree
ment with Republican legislators They
asked that bills following the Roose-
welt pattern be accepted by Democrats
regardless of origin.
Because of the uncertainty OF the
legislative lineup and the last-minute
preparation of his program, Gov. La
Toilette. who is serving his third term,
did not plan formal message to the
legislature at the outset He said he
would upset tradition by giving the
lawmakers an informal talk and would
present his program piecemeal.
Party organization caucuses were
held last night. The Assembly session
was called for noon today.

The warrants were signed by Detective

Judges Edwin D. Mallory and Frank
w. Cain. Before the Governor asked
that service of them be delayed. Sheriff
Thomas w. Wolcott had said it would
begin within "a to 48 hours.
Wolcott said the kidnap charge was
based on alleged seizure of company
guards by the strikers during the
riot.
While the 126th Infantry Of the
National Guard was arriving here Gov.
Murphy revealed that three other regi-
ments were being modified. He said
this would make approximately 1000
troops available for duty in this in
dustrial community Of 10000.
The other regiments are the 119th
Field Artillery. the 106th Cavalry and
the l25th Infantry. The first group

troit. Pontiac. Saginaw, Bay City and

In addition, several medical and
hospital units were already here or
preparing to come.
This movement Of nearly 1000
men Is to demonstrate that the State
will be supreme" Murphy said. 1.-THE
troops will see that property Is not
damaged, that there Is no rioting
that no persons are endangered and
that the laws are obeyed. The Ma
tional Guard was not sent to scare
any one"
Gov. Murphy. saying that the par
ties to the labor crisis had failed to
get together because of objections
raised by each, declared that it was
the States duty to bring them to-
gether because Of the great numbers
affected by the strike and its result
