81 have visited Warm Springs from
time to time and have always been
deeply impressed by the spirit of
courage and optimism that pervades
both patients and staff. What they
are doing there for victims of this
dread scourge can be done and
should be done throughout the
United States"
Use of Message Blanks Praised
Senator Guy M. Gillette of Iowa
particularly commends the raising of

Senator Gillette strikes another
sympathetic chord in parents when
he says: 81 believe there can be no
difference of opinion on the part of
anyone in the United States as to
the value of the purposes of this
campaign for aid to the Warm

and, indeed, everyone, regardless of

the United States

Another dawn, another day,
Another chance, another way
To finish something you began
Or else to try another plan.
Another sky, another sun,
Another and a better one.
Another day you never had,
Another reason to be glad.
Another day, another start,
A firmer hold, a drawer heart,
"A stronger arm, a wiser mind,
A mortal of another kind.
Another dawn, another day,
Another chance-another way
Another world, another you
To take a task and see it through

WALTER FOWLER

unanimously endorsed Walter Fow-
Ter of Billings who is now assistant
administrator of WPA for the i'm
portant position of Principal Admin
istrative Officer of the National So
cial Security Act for the state of

George McManus, a member of the
Government Employees union, was
also endorsed for a position under
the Social Security Act. He is seek
ing an appointment. Palmer, anoth-
er member of the Government En-
ployes, gave a brief outline of Nc
Manus' history in the labor unions,
and praised him for his fidelity dur
ing a strike occurring some time past
in which Mr.. MeManus maintained
his union principles in the face of
pressure by the corporations.
Former Secretary Harry Grimes
was reported sick at his home at
742 Maryland Avenue. 1t is hoped
that the ailment is not serious and
that Mr.. Grimes will be able to at
tend the next session Of the Council.
The Council adjourned at 8:45 to
enjoy a social party which had been
prepared by a committe of which
Bill Palmer of the Government En-
ployes was chairman.

to support a bill which has already
passed the House, relating to an es-
adjustment of a separate Depart
ment of Labor.
A request by Edward O'Byrne for

Dor Council for the position of Labor

and has done very efficient and val
liable service to the labor organiza-

A general condemnation Of the
Copeland Safety-at-Sea Act, which
is nov before the national Congress
and which provides for a continuous
discharge book for seamen, was Bit
terly condemned in a letter and reso-
luton received from the Maritime
Federation of the Pacific Coast. The
letter said that the act gives too
much power to the Maritime Com
mission.
1t was brought out that the feature
OF continuous discharge which is so
obnoxious to the seamen was used
in British shipping half a century
ago and was abandoned as too per-
nicious to be continued. It is re-
grettable that America in the treat
ment of her seamen should be a half
a century behind that of England
and should only now be introducing
something which European nations
have abolished

lished custom of the Catholic Church
has been to sound the Angelus in the
morning, this court is not going to
say that it is wrong"
But, Your Honor" Bowie protested,
I'VE are not asking you to decide
religious question. We contend these
chimes constitute a nuisance"
Well, anyway, 1 certainly will not
enjoin these chimes on a preliminary
hearing" Justice Bailey replied. I'll
have to hear testimony before I can
decide this case
Besides" he continued with grin,
I'D rather hear the chimes than
some of the noises that disturb me in
the morning I once lived across the
street from a fraternity house. The
boys in there would get going good
about l o'clock in the morning, and
you should have heard them from that
time on! Between the two, I'd take
the chimes any day"
Michael M Doyle, attorney for the
church, was quick to agree that there
were many thing worse than church
chimes.
In fact" he declared good-humor-
edly. turning to Bowie, "our priest was
offended when you said his chimes
were harsh-after he paid sl1 600 for
them. He thought they were very
artistic"

House on Reorganization, the Senate
Rules Committee authorized Chair
man Neely to take steps to have the
same course followed. Senator Neely.
the referee, will report separate
resolution to set up a Senate Com.
mittee on Reorganization.
The amendment for nine instead OF
seven members was adopted on mo-
ton of Senator Robinson, who ex-
planned that the purpose was to
make provision for all groups" on
the Joint committee. He pointed out
that it was to bring the party rep
resentation of Senate membership on
the joint committee as closely as pos
sible to the ratio of total membership
in the Senate. With nine places to
fill, he explained, it will be possible
for the Vice President to select six
Democrats, two Republicans and one
Progressive. The present ratio OF the
major parties in the Senate is 4 u to 1.
The Senate probably will take up
the Joint committee proposal tomor-
row, and IL it is passed 1t will have
to go back to the House for concur
renee in the change from seven to
nine members. Under this plan

Leans to Wider Base.
Collins also believes that real eS-
tate already Is bearing an adequate
tax burden, and that there should be
a wider and more equitable distribu-
ton Of the tax load If additional rev.
enues are needed to balance the Dis
trict budget. AS member of the
Mapes committee he favored four
plans for raising additional revenue.
These were:
/. An increase in the gasoline tax.
2. An income tax as a substitute
for the present tax on intangibles.
3. An inheritance or estate tax.
4. A weight tax on motor vehicles.
Collins still is Of the opinion that If
the District needs additional revenues
in the coming fiscal year to finance its
budget some of these measures should
be adopted, rather than increasing the
real estate tax. For that reason he
ppposes to prevent the Commission
ers by law from raising the tax levy.
Can withhold Authority.
The Commissioners. under existing
law, have the authority to fix the tax
rate. Only once in recent years this
authority was removed in an appro-
priation act which forbid them from
reducing the tax rate.
From present indications. Collins

tention to the Jacobs report when it

that the 1888 District budget is predi-
Gated on adoption of the three point
formula. Neither J. L. Jacobs, Chi

Express "Shock and Dismay" at Arrest

Soviet Ambassador TroyanovSky

Washington newspaper correspondents
who called to express their shock
and dismay" at the arrest of Vladimir
Romm, former correspondent here for
Izvestia. in connection with an
alleged counter-revolutionary plot now
the subject of sensational trial In
Moscow.
Romm is said to have confessed
acting as contact man for Karl Radek,
one of the principal defendants, and
Leon Trotzky. exiled Russian revolu-
tionary leader.
In a statement left with the Am
bassador, the committee said:
I'VE can testify, think, that he
(Romm) defended the policies of the
Soviet government without qualifica-
tion and with every indication that he
believed in them whole-heartedly.
In view of our experience with
him. it will be extremely difficult for
us to believe that he Is guilty of any
deliberate act of disloyalty to the
Soviet government"
The newspaper men asked the Am
bassador to convey their sentiments to
the proper authorities In Moscow and
to Romm.

The estate of the late War Kreuger,
Swedish match magnate, asked the
Board Of Tax Appeals today to set
aside an assessment of $277,536 on
Kreuger's 1880 income.

behalf of the estate, that the reputed
millionaire, who died several years ago
under mysterious circumstances, re-
ceived no taxable income from United
States sources in 1880.
The Internal Revenue Bureau listed
Kreuger's taxable income for the year
at $1,143,506
