GREENBELT, Md, March 2s.-The
restrictive policy Of the Federal Gov
ernment for its tenants in this low
cost housing project will force Mrs
Louise w. Endsley, widowed mother
Of q 5-year-old daughter. to vacate
her house April l.
When Mrs. Endsley and her daugh-
ter moved into their three-room, one
bedroom apartment last October, they
came well within the low-salaried
group requirement. Since that time,
however, a sister of Mrs. Endsley,
Charlotte D. Wilmington, who also is
employed, moved in.
Complications set in when Mrs.
Endsley went to Roy c. Braden, COM
munity manager, and asked for a
larger house. Then officials of Green
belt learned that both Mrs. Endsley
and her sister were employed in the
Federal Alcohol Control Administra-
ton. Their combined salaries aggre-
gated more than $4,000. The Farm
Security Administration had decreed
that $1,000 was as much as three
persons could earn and still be classi-
ned as "low income"
MIR. Braden said q clause in the
Greenbelt leases prohibits the taking
OF roomers by tenants. He classified
the sister as roomer.
I'VE did not ask them to vacate. /"
Mr. Braden declared. Mrs. Endsley
asked to be moved to = large house,
ana we only found that We could not
accommodate her. She then notified
US that she was moving back into

Traffic Officer John j. Boyd was
nursing a. cut scalp and a possible

Hospital today and all because of
Benjamin Stewards shirt-tail.
Mr.. Stewart, who lives at 309
Eleventh street S.W., dropped a

was fortunately on the floor beside the
bed and not on Mr.. Stewart, and
smoke poured out the window. An
alarm was turned in by a passerby
and No. l3 Engine Company and
Onicer Boyd came with all possible
speed.
Officer Boyd, on a motor cycle, COL
lided with an auto at Fourteenth
street and Independence avenue S.W.,
and was removed to Emergency Hos

The firemen, after searching fran
tically, finally located the blaze in
Mr.. Stewards room. The fire was out,
though, and Mr.. Stewart was stand

Men Who Stole
Radios IN Car
Due for Shock

The thieves who thought they were
stealing a couple of radios from a
parked automobile at Fifteenth and F
streets NV. last night may as well
give up trying to figure out how they
work.
If they knew how to operate the in
struments, about their only use for
them would be to test their hearing
perhaps to see how far away they
could hear the football of an approach
ing policeman.
For their loot was not radios, but
audiometers. used only for testing
hearing, and considerably too technical
for an auto thief to manipulate, Le-
land Watson of New York City, from
whose car they were stolen, explained
today.
Convinced the audiometers were Of
no value to any one but him, Mr..
Watson offered a $40 reward for their
return, with no questions asked. He
is stopping at the Stratford Hotel.
The instruments, valued at $3.50,
are registered with the manufacturer
by serial number.

Opposition developed in the Senate
Finance Committee today to Hungary's
proposed settlement Of her debt to the
United States
Senator Clark. Democrat, Missouri,
said he did not favor the proposal, be-
cause he believed any settlement
would be precedent for negotiations
on war debts by other countries.
Chairman Harrison. Democrat, Mis-
sissippi. said the committee would take
up the proposal. sent to the Senate
yesterday by President Roosevelt, as
soon as it disposed of the tax bill.
Noting that the President had
marked the s1,685.00 Hungarian obli-
CATION as relief" rather than a wal
debt, Senator La Toilette, Progressive
Wisconsin, said he would be inclined
to settle it if the war debts issue could
be kept out of the picture.
One administration leader, who de-
clined to be quoted by name, said he
saw no way in which the Hungarian
proposal could be divorced from the
war debts question. He predicted the
committee would pigeonhole the pro.
posal rather than extend the congres.

Adolf Hitler last night acclaimed

MEXICO CITY, March 29.-The
lack Of foreign markets pressed urgent
problems today upon the Mexican
governments newly acquired oil in
dustry
There have been II days without
sales abroad since the government
took over II American and British oil
companies on March 18, and the ma

Production has been curtailed 65 TO

The problem of storage space is
specifically technical, but its broader
aspects embrace economic adjust
ment.
The suspension Of purchases of
Mexican silver by the United States
Treasury started the peso on a rapid
decline. Mexicans believe the sus-
pension was in retaliation for ex-
preparation of the S400,000,00O for
eign- oil industry.
Fear Tariff Increase.
Some fear that the United States
now is considering also an upward
adjustment of tariffs on Mexican
goods-this fear based on Treasury

Sunday that the United States in
tended to review commercial and
financial relationships with Mexico.
Declining business sales were noted
here. One leading department store
said sales were off so per cent. One
of the largest tire houses reported mot

A representative automobile dealer
said he had sold only a third of the

sales made in part to desire by pa
irons to convert the slumping pesos
into merchandise.
Would Drown in Oil"
The peso went as low as 47o and
490 to the dollar in late street trading
after the close Of banks yesterday, a
drop Of $50 to 80 points since Satur-

Regular foreign exchange dealings
were suspended by the Central Bank
Of Mexico with appropriation OF the

There seemed to be no prospect that
