recall the American attitude as late
as 1916. just one year before we
began mastering troops and floating
Liberty Loans twenty years ago, to
prove that the present attitude may
be of little influence in keeping rs
out of the inevitable world con-
flict.
These people believe that we can
keep our nation free from the
scourge of war only if We adopt
policies which will help to avert
war rather than merely to attempt to
maintain position of American iso-
lation.
To discuss this complex and i'm
ponderable subject would require q
vast amount of time, effort, space
and learning. We do not feel equal
to the task. But we do believe that
the time is approaching when every
American citizen should give some
thought and devote some study to
the interesting subject because public
policy in a nation like ours is moth
ing more than a reflection of popu-
lar opinion. In other words our ma
ton can adopt sane and logical
foreign policy only if it's citizen are
we'll informed on the present trend
Of world affairs
An understanding of world trends
is as important as knowledge of
domestic policies if we, as sovereign
voters, are to direct our nation
through the maze of complicated is
sues that face every government in
the world.

LEGAL|TYOF NEW
HOMICIDE ACT HIT.
Quash Motion in Thomson
Case Charges Negligence
Information Lacking.

The first attack on the constitu-
tionality of the two-year-old negli-
gent homicide act was made before
Police Court Judge Walter J. Casey
today by Daniel Partridge, Sd, attor-
ney for Erwin H Thomson. o. of 1911
Georgia avenue, whose trial was
scheduled for today.
After hearing the act described as
uncertain and a lazy mans law"
Judge Casey continued a motion to
quash until March % so the court
might have an opportunity to make a
close study of the act.
Thomson is the alleged driver of
a truck which, on December "a. 1886,
collided with an automobile operated
by William A. Boss. SO. at Western
avenue and Forty-first street. Boss
died an route to a hospital.
Partridge contended the act is un-
constitutional because neither de-
PENDANTS nor the court are fully in
formed as to all the facts. One of
his particular objections was that the
law, which charges all defendants with
operating at an immoderate speed,
does not state the speed nor take into
consideration the speed limit in effect
where the accident occurs. He also
charged that there are no facts given
to substantiate charges of reckless
driving.
Partridge, in addition to filing a
motion to quash, also filed demurrer

4 Of FNAVYARDJ Jobs
Machinists' Leader Hits
Awarding Contracts to
Private Firms.

If the Navy Department ceases let
ting out to private contractors jobs
that can be be done in navy yards
ana thus avoids sending ordnance
work to other yards. the jobs of the
300 machinists slated to be laid off at
the Washington Navy Yard May l
can be saved, N. P Alias, president
of District No. A, international Asso-
citation of Machinists, declared today
Alias also is its general legislative
agent and chairman of the Legislative
Committee of the metal trades de-
partment Of the American Federation
of Labor.
As passed by the House, the new
naval supply bill will take away air.
plane engine work from the navy
yards. Alias explained. This task
will be done by private contractors,
he said, but the Washington Navy
Yard is equipped to do engine work
This action of the House indicates
that the Representatives are getting
away from the liberal policy the pres
ent Congress is presumed to maintain,
Alifas said He promises a stiff fight
in the Senate, so that airplane engine
work will be maintained in the Gov
ernment yards
The labor leader went on record as
favoring the construction of all ord
nance and naval vessels by the Gov
ernment, pointing out that under the
law half of the vessels must be built
in navy yards, but this does not bar
building all of them there. He advo-
Gated sending both of the new battle
ships to navy yards for construction.
This, Alias said, is in harmony
with the action of various units of the
American Federation of Labor He
also sponsors the rehabilitation of the
Navy's steel plant at South Charleston,
w. Va, so that the service can manu-
facture its own steel, and if private
contractors practice collusion and pre-
vent the Government from securing
this necessary material, naval con-
struction will not be hamstrung, he
said Alias contended the Govern
ment would have a price-cost yard
stick for steel manufacturing if the
South Charleston plant is put on a
production basis.
More engine work should be sent to
the navy yards, Alias asserted, thus
evening up the load and making it
unnecessary to send ordnance work
there, so that it could be kept in
Washington and maintain full employ
ment here. He cited the point that
recently torpedo tube work that can
be done at the Washington Navy Yard
was let out to Detroit firm, and this
in the face of knowledge that lay-offs
were threatened here.

INVITED TO HEARING
Experts Who Aided Previous At.
tempts to Find Equitable
Plan Are Present.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.


Behind closed doors, the House SUBJ
committee on Appropriations in charge
Of the 1888 District supply bill today
plunged into comprehensive study of
the complicated Jacobs three-point
formula for solving the long-perplexing
problem of fiscal relationship between
the Federal and District Governments.
Views of various experts who in the
past have attempted to work out fair
and equitable basis of fiscal relations
are to be sought by the subcommittee,
1t was disclosed, before it determines
the fate of the Jacobs plan.
j. L. Jacobs. Chicago efficiency en-
gineer, who directed the latest fiscal
relations survey that produced the
three-point formula, was the first wit
ness to face the subcommittee as it
undertook to analyze some of the
puzzling features of the plan. Sitting
at his side was George McAneny, presi-
dent of the Title Guaranty Trust Co.
of New York City, who served as
chairman of Jacobs Advisory Commit
tee. The two other members OF the
Advisory Committee - Clarence A.
Dykestra, city manager of Cincinnati,
and James w. Martin, chairman OF the
Kentucky State Tax Commission-did
not appear.
Invited to Hearing.
Closeted with the Appropriations
Subcommittee on Investigation were
members of the House District Com
mittee who were appointed 10 two
special subcommittee created by
Chairman Norton to make studies OF
the Jacobs plan.
Also participating in the study. on
invitation, were Commissioner Melvin
C. Hazen and Mai. Daniel j. Donovan,
District auditor and budget director,
both outspoken critics OF the JACOBS
plan, and George Lord and Thomas F.
Murphy. Lord is the District tax
expert who assisted the special Mapes
Committee of the House with its fiscal
relations survey about five years ago,
and Murphy directed similar investl-
cation for the former United States
Bureau of Efficiency in 1929 and 1880.
The results of both Of the surveys
were more favorable to the District
than is the Jacobs plan. The Efficiency
Bureau estimated the Federal obliga-
ton toward District expenses at that
time exceeded more than 100000
q year, while the Mapes Committee
recommended a Federal payment OF
S6,500,000.
Due to Be Called.
Both Lord and Murphy are expected
TO be called to the witness stand to
compare their results of the studies
in which they took part with the one
Jacobs directed.
Members of the District Committee
who sat with the Appropriations Sub
committee included Representatives
Kennedy of Maryland and Schultz of
Indiana, Democrats, and Dirksen OF
Illinois and Cole of New York, Re-
publicans. Kennedy is chairman OF
one of the two special subcommittee
which has been assigned to make an
analysis of the proposed new revenue
