Dor Bureau"
Mrs. William Kittle, chairman, Dis
trict Minimum Wage Board: II am
not prepared to make any comment
on the reorganization plan as q whole
since ! have not had sufdcient time to
review the report, but in relation to
the administration of the District Ia
Dor laws, wish the committee had
used this opportunity to Great q di-
rectorship to administer all labor laws
for the District similar to the manner
they are administered in almost every
State. Also, cannot see any relation
between the administration Of the
eight-hour law and the minimum wage
law to that Of the License Depart
ment. Neither Of these laws provides
for the issuing Of licenses"
Two Phases Are Cited.
Mrs. Henry Grafton Doyle, presi-
dent, Board Of Education: Il am par
ticularly interested in two phases of
the report. I am glad to see that the
committee followed what believe to
be the consensus of citizens on the
matter Of the appointment Dot the
Board Of Education by the justices Of
the District Court. am also gratiffed
to note that the committee so strongly
recommends the voting power for
President, Vice President and Repre-
sentatives in Congress"
Mrs. Charles Weston, a member Of
the Citizens Efficiency Committee,
who signed the report. subject to
minority statement: mo proposed
reorganization Of District government
should neglect the labor functions OF
the government. Administration of
the following laws should be vested
In a labor department: The mini
mum wage law for women, which is
now under semi-independent board;
the eight-hour law for women, now
under the Health Department, and
the unemployment compensation in
the District. Putting this type of
compensation under the labor de-
partment would follow the precedent
OF majority Of the States and would
be in accordance with the recon-
mendation Of the United States So
cial Security Board. Administration
of other laws which might be con-
sidered proper functions Of a labor
department include the Child Labor
Law. workmen's compensation, safety
inspection and the District Employ
mpnt Service ahor demo rtp,opf of
this kind would promote efficiency and
economy by preventing duplication in
inspection and in records"

long period of years. He also recalled
that he has urged merger of the Park
Police with the Metropolitan force
and favors also the recommendation
that the Board of Public Welfare be
converted into an advisory agency
He added he would not object to the
request for a District representative
on the Fine Arts Commission.
Vigorous opposition to transfer OF
the park police and some of the local
parks to the District government was
expressed by Secretary Ickes at his
press conference today. Il am not
in favor of it," he said, adding that
proponents of such a plan give away
their whole case" by advocating that
only some of the parks be shifted.
There has never been any charge
that the park police are not efficient
or doing their job we'll, Mr.. Ickes
declared
In regard to the parks, he stated:
This is the Nations Capital and these
are the Nations parks" He insisted
the proposal has no economy and
there is now no overlapping
The Utah Senator is in general in
accord with the proposed regroupine
OF municipal bureaus, and added his
Endorsement of the recommendation
that separate civil service plan be
established for the District govern
ment.
Representative Kennedy said he
feared that any attempt to get
national representation as a part of
the reorganization plan will simply
tie it up.
1T will take some time to get
national representation he declared.
That can be done only by constitu-
tlonal amendment The District gov
ernment is badly in need of reor-
ganization. Let's get that done now.
National representation. in my
opinion, should be made a separate
issue. I believe, however, the people
OF the District should be given voice
IN their own government, and that
can be done by Congress without
delay by granting some form of suf =
frage. But let's not delay reorgani-
zation of the District government be-
cause of the desirability of national
representation.
Backs Efficiency Program.
Mr.. Kennedy developed his reor-
ganlzation plan while serving as
chairman of a special subcommittee
that worked out the current $9OOO.-
900 tax increase program. Although
Chairman Palmisano has requested
him to continue to head the subcom-
mittee, Mr.. Kennedy declared the
pressure of his other work would pre-
vent him from accepting the post
at the coming session. He said.
however, as a member of the District
Committee, he proposed to cooperate
in pushing any plan for reorganiza-
ton OF the municipal government in
the interest of efficiency and economy.
Indications are Chairman Palmi-
sano will now refer both the Kennedy
and Efficiency Committees plans to a
new Fiscal Affairs Committee he pro-
poses to create. Representative Wood,
Democrat, Of Missouri, is slated to
head this subcommittee.
Terming the report the most COM
prehensive and instructive document
ever dealing with the city administra-
ton, the Commissioners announced
they would send it to the Capitol
with a report asking early considera-
ton.

general approval of the principles
involved in the program, Commits

Speedsters Must
Use Stock Fuel
In 1897 Races

The lessons in fuel efficiency
which come out of the 500-mila
race at Indianapolis this May 81
will be Immediately passed on to
the motoring public.
The cars must use stock gaso-
line obtainable at the corner filling
station, and the mixture will be
subjected to intense scrutiny by
the technical committee.
Fort the first time in four years
drivers will be allowed an un.
limited amount of fuel, but never
before in the history of racing e.
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
have they been confined as to the
mixture. Heretofore, they have
used a "hopped-up" fuel that 0ften
has been as far away from ordi-
nary gasoline as the lighting rod
on the Empire State Building is
from the subway. Now it must
come from the same pump where
Mr.. John @. Public fills up his
tank.
Always Successful
A varied combination of benZol,
lead" (ethyD and highest gaso-
line has always carried the fastest
competitive cars in America home
to the 100000 in cash prizes on
Decoration Day. The results OF
these tests of admittedly trick"
fuel have slowly worked their way
into common usage but now the
application to general motoring
will be direct. The spectator may
drive home with the same fuel
used by his hero in winning the
classic.
The motoring world marveled
last year when Louis Meyer, driV-
ing to a spectacular third victory.
averaged better than 1872 miles
to the gallon at an average speed
of better than 100 miles per hour
but they could not Immediately de-
termine what this meant in terms
of general motoring. This year
they may readily make this com.
pariSon.
Bona Eide Fuel
According to rules recently IS
sued, fuel to be used this year is
defined as "a bona fide CONNER
cial gasoline of brand or trade
name in use at least one year prior
to May /, 1887, which is normally
used and normally sold through
regular outlets in the continental
United States of America for use
in automotive road vehicles"
The entrant must notify the
technical committee of the brand
of commercial gasoline he desires
to use, eight days before the start
of qualifying trials, and must use
the same brand in the race itself.
The technical committee has the
right to analyze the fuel used dur.
ing qualifications, before, during
and after the race and check it
against the specifications furnish.

looked the Kelley-Coached crew
are playing real basketball at this
stage of the race. and it's the sort
that's leaving the others far behind
when it comes to SmoothneSS and
polish.
Yesterday the Northeast aggre-
cation defeated Roosevelt. "a to l6
in the Roosevelt gym while an
other strong contender, Tech. was
taking % to II trimming at the
hands of still a third formidable
contender, western, in a game on
the Tech floor.
Team Carries Fight
To down Roosevelt. the Parkers
had to accomplish two things. One
was to carry the fight to the
Riders. who performed at such a
great clip in their winning game
over Central last week. The other
was to continue their own classy
brand of basketball from opening
whistle to the last.
The team did both. And when
returns of the WeStern-TeCh clash
reached their ears, there was the
feeling of satisfaction all around
that a complete afternoon had
been spent.
Roosevelt gave Kelley's charges
only one scare during the 40 min
uteS. That came midway in the
second quarter when two baskets
by Bailey and one by Wicklein put
the Riders II to behind.
But rim-SWiShers by Carroll Col
ton rectified those few moments
of anxiety. For Immediately fol
lowing his efforts. the complexion
of the game changed and Roose-
welt trailed Woefully to the end.
At half-time, thanks to Colton's
two baskets, Eastern led, Is to 8.
Colley, lombard and Lusby led
the ParkerS in the second half.
They were all over the floor, cut
ting nicely. passing smoothly and
sinking tWo-pointerS with a dash
reminiscent of former stars of the
Eastern fold.
Third In Row
The victory marked the team S
third of the series. Also its third
in a row. It's complete record is
three wins in four starts. Western
is in second place with two wins
in three games. Tech and Cen
tral, third. with one triumph
apiece in two contests; Roosevelt,
fourth, with one win and two
losses, and woodrow Wilson, last,
with two losses in two starts.
Western won its game against
Tech in true buSiness-like fashion
to keep in the series going. The
GeorgetoWners thWarted all Tech
threats and were led by George
Dewitt, who is developing as one
of the most polished players in
the series.
