Question: I would like 10 know the
sdrions uses Of the yeilos0 filter. (B. H.9
Answer: A light-yellow filter is very
often used so as to have the blue sky
photograph somewhat darker, and
thus light clouds will stand out in
somewhat better contrast. Also, most
films are more sensitive to the shorter
wave lengths of light, making up the
blue and violet, than they are to the
other colors. As the yellow filter will
absorb some of these shorter wave
lengths, the blue and violet colors will
photograph little darker and yellows
and reds little lighter The yellow
filter will also be helpful when photo
graphing distant mountains or land-,
scapes. since it holds back some of the
blue light, which tends to be scattered
by the atmospheric haze.

TAXI SUSPENSION
HELD UP BY COURT
Proctor Issues Restraining
Order in Case of So
Columbia Cabs.

A temporary court mandate today
prevented enforcement of an order
issued Monday by Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer suspending
operation of the So cabs of the Co.
lumbia Cab Association.
The restraining order was signed
yesterday afternoon by District Court
Justice James NJ Proctor and will
remain in force until next Wednes-
day. when a hearing is scheduled on
the issuance Of a preliminary injunc-
ton against Van Duzer and the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Permits. license plates and registra-
ton cards of all drivers in the asso-
citation were suspended because a
Municipal Court personal injury
judgment obtained by George Mcneil
1864 T street, had not been satisfied.
Since only eight members of the
cab association were served in the
suit, the remaining drivers and own
ers contended no action against them
should have been taken by the traffic
director.
Twenty-Five oWner-drivers joined in
the injunction suit. Their attorney
Byron G. Carson, pointed out that
unless enforcement of Van Duzer's
order is enjoined, all members of the
cab association, including those not
named in the judgment, will have to
file insurance bonds.

Committee today to approve pending
legislation that would authorize the
Commissioners to restore them to duty

er at salary of S56 month. Warner
Is working for the w. P. A.
The subcommittee, headed by Repre-
sentative Randolph, Democrat, of West
Virginia. also has before it for con-
sideration bills authorizing restoration
to duty of two other former policemen
who were dismissed-James F. Day
and Amos B. Cole.
Thompson, who was a partner of
Warner in police scout car detail at
the time of their dismissal, told the
subcommittee the police trial board
did not give them a fair trial He
charged the dismissal was based on
the uncorroborated testimony of a
colored witness who accused him Of
accepting $40 as a bribe.
w. Gwynn Gardiner, former District
Commissioner. representing Thomp-
son and Warner, declared the COM
planning witness against the two for
mer officers had been convicted 43
times of crimes and misdemeanors
and is now serving prison sentence.
Inspector L. l. H. Edwards, assist
ant superintendent of police, and
Capt jeremiah A. Sullivan Of the
fourth precinct, who Investigated the
bribery charges against Thompson and
Warner, testified briefly as to the
various developments in the case be-
fore it went to the trial board. Ed
ward w. Thomas, assistant corpora
ton counsel, said the Commissioners
had reported unfavorebly on the, bills
providing for the restoration to duty
to the two officers.
He also pointed out the Commis-
sioners have no authority under eX-
isting law to reinstate them. RAN
dolph announced the subcommittee
would make a thorough study of the
records in the case including the
! transcript of the testimony before the
police trial board before acting on
the bills.
The subcommittee will resume its
inquiry tomorrow at l0 am. and cal.

who served on the trial board that
convicted Thompson and Warner.

sidered at that time.

thority a branch OF the Interior De-
partment. Senator Barley said last
night he will not offer that amend
ment now that the President has
been empowered to approve contracts
before the Housing Authority acts.
After brief discussion on the floor
yesterday it was decided no further
amendment is necessary to make sure
that the District Alley Dwelling Au-
thority would be eligible to obtain
the benefits Of this program the same
as other State and municipal agen-
cies. Senators Copeland of New York
and King of Utah were considering
a safeguarding amendment, but Sena-
tor Wagner, Democrat, OF New York,
author of the bill, gave assurance the
present language, in his opinion. leaves
no doubt of the Districts inclusion.
In urging the Senate to put limit
on the unit cost of the proposed slum-
clearance projects throughout the
country, Senator Byrd read to the
Senate figures he has made public
in recent weeks regarding the cost of
the Greenbelt resettlement develop
ment in Maryland and the construc-
ton of mountain houses in Virginia
He asserted that never in the his
tory of this or any other country has
there been such waste"
The Virginian declared "the time
has come for this Congress to do what
II - tn nf 10
money by those bureaus that think
they own the Government"
Wagner Urges Rejection.
Senator Wagner urged the Senate
not to accept the limitation, and
Senator La Toilette, Wisconsin Pro-
gressive, said there Is not sufficient data
available to indicate whether the unit
cost limitation is reasonable. On q
close roll call, however, By!d's pro-
posal carried by one vote.
Senator Tydings attacked the meas
ure because it does not require the
local agencies to put up anything in
advance when they are obtaining the
construction loan. Wagner argued
that the loans are to be repaid, but
Tydings contended the Federal Gov
ernment will be providing the grants
and rent subsidies toward the income
from which the projects will repay
the loans
The theory of the bill is that. after
loaning the construction money, the
Government will later make either
grants or subsidy contributions to in
sure rentals within the means Of the
lowest income group of tenants.
Senator George failed by vote
Of ~ to 80 to obtain inclusion of an
amendment limiting operation of the
plan to three years. Wagner con-
tended Congress will have to review
the program after three years, any
how, because the appropriation in
this bill Is only for that period.
Senator McKellar, Democrat, of
Tennessee announced he has an
amendment under which not to ex-
ceed 100000 could be allocated to
the Interior Department to acquire,
upon satisfactory options, land in ma
tional park and forest areas not suit
able for cultivation and enable the
persons on such land to rehabilitate
themselves elsewhere.

Looking back over the year that
has passed since the A. F.. of l.. Ex-

in the c. I. O. can say that events
have fully justified the course of
action we adopted in forming the
c. I. O. to promote industrial organi-
zation Of the unorganized.
The attempt of the craft leaders
to stop this movement has failed
dismally because what we did was in
Keeping with the needs of the times.
as has been proved by the response
to our' efforts
The c. l. o. now includes % ma

distribution.
The Senate today is considering a
further amendment under which the
housing funds would have to be pro-
rated among the States on the basis
OF population, and Senator johnson,
Democrat, of Colorado author of that
proposal, amended his motion this
afternoon to make sure the District
would receive its pro rata as well as
the States.
Earlier, reconsideration of the Byrd
amendment limiting the cost Of slum
clearance projects to 81 900 per room,
or $4,000 per unit, was urged by a
group Of organizations interested in
the measure Senate leaders hoped to
pass the bill during the day.
A statement issued jointly by sew
eral housing groups, and concurred in
by the American Federation of Labor,
asserted the amendment would defeat
the purpose of the bill, because 1t is
below the level which can be achieved
in most cities.

The statement was joined in by the
American Federation of Housing Au-
thorities, Labor Housing Conference,

tional Association of Housing Officials
Ickes, in his statement to the
House committee, said: I'VE either
ought to fish or cut bait with regard

taries of the Treasury as to enact this

Abandon Efforts for Speed.
When this was followed by moves
to require Federal funds to be allo-
Gated to the States on the basis of
population, and to provide that no
State could receive more than 10 per
cent Of the entire fund, the leaders
hurriedly decided to abandon efforts
to pass the measure last night.
