Place Problem.

Complaints that mosquitoes appear
with the first warm weather in the
Bladensburg section prompted the
Bladensburg Road Citizens Association
last night to direct their Committee
on Health and Sanitation to study the
conditions and make recommended
tions to District authorities.
Benjamin S. Elliott, member OF
the association, said Federally owned
property east of Bladensburg road,
between Thirty-fifth street and the
District line at the foot of the National
Training School hill, was a likely
source of the insect pest, as the area
was overgrown with weeds and had
been used as a dumping place for
rubbish.
Elliott recommended that the Com
mittee on Parks and Fairgrounds
study this location and make a re-
port to the association at the next
monthly meeting as to the advisability
of asking the District authorities
to have the location cleaned up and
graded

Change in Bus Line Over P
Street Sought at
Meeting.

Citizens of the Georgetown Progress
sive Citizens Association voiced their
desire for a change in the routing
of buses in Georgetown before Ed
ward D. Merrill, president of the Cap
ital Transit, who spoke at their meet
ing last night.
Members of the association COM
planned that since buSses replaced
street cars on P street, they seldom
found a bus that was not crowded
Merrill explained that even SO, George
towners had three routes to take
them across and down town, the P
street line, the Trinidad line and
the Wisconsin avenue car line. Mer-
rill further explained the reason for
the change in fare as being due to
the decrease in revenue because of
greater expenditures for additional
cars and busses and track repairs.
The association voted favorably on
a resolution urging abolishment of
the right and left hand turns at the
busy intersections as a means to
curbing traffic casualties.
John Pratt and Philip H. Herrick
of the Junior Bar Association gave
a short debate on the Presidents
court proposal There was no dis
cussion following the debate. The
association will discuss and vote on
the question at the next meeting.

SUGAR AID BILL

Said to carry out President
Roosevelt's request, a joint bill
for control of the sugar industry
was placed before Congress today
by Senators O'Mahoney CD OF
Wyoming and Adams CD Of
Colorado and Representative
Jones CD of Texas, chairman Of
the House Agriculture Committee.
The bill, which increases the
continental quota by approx
mately 100, 900 tons, also has the
approval of the Department Of
Agriculture, growers and refiners,
O'Mahoney said. 1t continues the
quota system 'in such a manner
as to protect adequately all sugar
producing areas in continental
United States without adversely
affecting other areas"
In addition, O'Mahoney said,
"the bill carries provisions for pro-
lection to labor and for the pre-
vention of child labor" 1t pro.
vides for a substantial increase
of revenue" by levying an excise
tax of three-fourthS of a cent a
pound of sugar raw value. O'Ma-
honey added:
"ThiS is not a processing tax,
but a tax upon marketing and
will not, therefore, be as great
q burden upon refiners as q
processing tax would be. No
floor stock tax is levied but the
excise tax becomes effective, as
the bill is drafted on April l."

BLACK FACING
THIRD ATTACK
ON ELIGIBILITY

WASHINGTON Nov. 4. WR)-For
the third time during his brief
career as an associate justice of
the supreme court. Hugo L. Black
today faced petition challenging
his eligibility to the $4,000 a year
life post.
The latest attack was contained
in a petition filed by a group of
Florida oil royalty certificate deal
ers who asked that the court re-
consider its previous refusal to re-
view the constitutionality of the
basic securities act. of 1888 and
the powers of the securities and
exchange commission.
Students of court history pointed
out that only in rare cases has the
court granted petition for a re-
hearing Many believed that there
was a strong possibility that the
court would deny the present petit
tion without a written opinion.
Others noted. however, that the
retition apparently met the objec-
tion raised by Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes in his brief per
curiam' opinion which announced
the courts rejection of the first
attack upon Blacks constitutional
eligibility.

Ell Centre has not constructed the
crossing before this, Hall was told,
because of financial difficulties dur

cause of negotiations by which the
city hoped to ootain federal fin
sncing for construction of an under
pass at State street, rather than
an ordinary grade level crossing.
Hall will return 10 Sacramento

BRUSSELS, Belgium m i,
Nov. 4. (UP)-Great Brit

States Joined today in a new
attempt to entice Japan into
peace negotiations.
Led by the three democracies,
eight principal powers agreed at a
private two hour conference that
small committee, probably COM
prising the three nations, should
be appointed to approach Tokyo
The three powers also decided
that Germany might be asked to
join the peace efforts. There was
little hope here that Japan would
accept the peace oyertures or that
Germany would prove very help
full.
Speculation has arisen over
whether the big democracies, while
apparently seeking far eastern
peace, were aiming at a much
broader objective. Some believed
this might be to give Germany,
Italy and Japan every opportunity
to be obstructive in order to arouse
public opinion in the United States,
Britain and France, thus bringing
the three nations closer together
in the face of the Fascist menace.
Besides the three powers, nations
represented at the private meet
ing were Italy, the Netherlands,
Belgium, Portugal and Russia. All
except Russia are signatories of
