School Heads
Defend Study
OF Fire Alarms

School superintendents in nearby
Maryland and Virginia don't agree
with Fire Marshal Calvin G. LAUDER
that young pupils should not be taught
how to turn in fire alarm.
Fire Marshal LAUDER recently en-
phasized that children should not be
taught to turn in alarms in a state
ment on the eve of Fire Prevention
Week.
Local schools abandoned this in
struction some years ago because sew
eral pupils tried out their new-found
knowledge and false alarms resulted.
Supt E. w. Broome of Montgomery
County said that a different situation
exists in schools there, since most of
alarm boxes in the county are situated
in schools. Il never heard of pupil
turning in false alarm from a school
box" he said. I'VE feel that for child
to know how to summon firemen is a
useful bit of practical information"
Supt. T. G. williams Of Alexandria
agrees with Dr. Broome. I'VE have few
If any complaints that school children
are turning in false alarms. Most Of
the trouble in this respect comes from
young hoodlums on the streets outside
the schools who are over Is and no
longer have to attend classes.
"At that age they would know how
to pull an alarm box, whether taught
in school or not"

AIRPORT HEARING
TO BE CONTINUED
Virginia to Question Pilots on
Hazard Rating of Blimp
Hangar.
IL the Asxnniated prssa

RICHMOND. Va, Oct. 14.-The
State Corporation Commission, after
hearing several witnesses today. con-
tinued until December / the case of
the National Airport Corp, operator
OF the Washington Hoover Airport,
which was ordered to show cause why
it should not provide for the removal
Of blimp hangar on the field.
The commission decided upon the
continuance to allow time to obtain
additional testimony. principally from
pilots operating ships into the airport.
The blimp hangar, leased by the Good
year Tire Rubber Co., has been de-
clared by aviation authorities to con-
stitute hazard on the airport field
in Virginia across the Potomac from
Washington.
r. E. Steele, director of the aviation
division of the State Corporation
Commission, testified briefly he would
not recommend the hangar be left
on the field.
Karl Fickesen, assistant manager of
airship operations of the Goodyear
Co., testified that there have been
no injuries to passengers or spectators
during the operation of the blimp at
the airport during the last four years.
G. NJ McCabe, chief pilot of the
American Airlines, with headquarters
at Newark, N. j., testified that the
hangar constitutes physical hazard
and, more particularly, a mental haz-
ard. He said winds blowing across the
field would be affected by the hangar
and in some cases would cause eddies,
tending to make planes swerve of the
runways.

ACTION DELAYED
ON ROW HOUSES
Arlington Board to Wait
Until After Hearing on
November ID.

The Arlington County (Va) Board
today deferred action on pending
zoning ordinance amendment to per-
nit construction of three-unit row
houses until after a public hearing
November IA on the Chew amend
ment,' which would prohibit row
houses entirely.
Today. incidentally, marked the first
time the amendment sponsored by
Board Member F. Freeland Chew ap-
peared in print in legal advertise
ment. Previously the board had
pending for action today an amend
ment allowing residences of not more
than three units. Postponement Of
action now makes it possible for the
second proposal specifically forbidding
these dwellings, to be considered at
the same time.
Officials have indicated they will
probably call special night meeting
Of the County Board to thrash out
the two proposals. The Arlington
County Civic Federation recently
strongly urged the board to hold Q
night session.
The board denied request o1
citizens of Woodlawn Village for re.

TIGHTER ELECTION
LAWS PREDICTED
Set of Suggested Changes
Given Senator Sheppard
by William Tyler Page.
the Associated Press

~ the Associated Press.
William Tyler Page. who has
watched national political fireworks
from an office under the Capitol dome
for more than so years, is certain that
Congress is about to tighten up Fed
eral campaign expenditure laws.
you could drive a team through
half dozen loopholes in the present
Federal Corrupt Practices Act" Mr..
Page said, with smile.
Mr.. Page has forwarded a set Of
suggested amendments to the 13-year-
old law to Senator Sheppard, chair
man Of the special Senate committee
investigating campaign expenditures.
AS secretary of the House of Rep.
resentatives between 1919 and 1881,
Mr.. Page had to obtain reports on
campaign expenditures and contribu-
tions from hundreds of congressional
candidates. (He is now clerk of the
Republican minority in the House.)
Present Acts Provisions.
In general the present act aims at
limiting the amount of money a can.
didate for Congress may spend, de-
nands an accounting of contributions
and expenditures and prohibits prom
ises of jobs or other patronage
Despite these provisions, Mr.. Page
said, it was possible for a candidate
to spend million dollars for seat
in, u,ifaiv, de af Io
isting law"
The law, by its own terms, does not
apply to primary elections or conven-
tions. A Supreme Court decision in
1921 struck down Federal act on the
ground that such pre-campaign ma
neuvers we're matter for the States.
Mr.. Page proposes that the law
require that as soon as any person
becomes candidate for Congress,
he or she must obey certain limita-
tions and report to the Senate or
House.
Objects to Exemptions.
He also objects to the numerous
exemptions" such as travelling ex-
penses, postage, circulars and others
that are outside existing expenditure
limits for candidates.
The veteran Capitol attache also
suggests that present law, which pro-
hibits persons on the Federal payroll
from soliciting political funds from
others paid by the Treasury, be ex-
panded to prohibit any solicitation by
any person from those paid by the
Government.
This would cover subscriptions to
campaign books, sl00-a-plate dinners,
or contributions from contractors or
others doing Government work." he
said.
At present, Senator can spend from
$4,000 to $4,000 on a campaign,
varying with the number of voters,
and House member can spend S2,5oO
to $4,000.
Mr.. Page suggested these amounts
be increased so per cent, if present
exemptions which are actually eva
sions" are eliminated.
"Of course, We can't legislate hon.
esty into elections" he said But
at least these glaring loopholes should
be closed as q matter of public edu-
cation"

senator Wneeler SAID the railroad
industry had gross revenues Of more
than $4,000 900 900 in the eight-year
period 1930-37, a term that included
severe depression and moderate in
take and a modest income"
He estimated that profits of the rail-
way system, as a whole, in this same
period amounted to about S5,275, ,000.-
900 or about 19 cents out Of every
dollar take"
Even this year, the Senator said,
"the industry as whole made profit
In every month except February"
Labor representatives earlier re-
quested that rail management seek
financial relief through Government
rehabilitation. They said they would
support such a program II the wage
cut were abandoned.
George M. Harrison, spokesman for
18 railroad brotherhoods and unions,
testified yesterday President Roosevelt
was willing to back a comprehensive
railroad relief program.
A. F. Whitney, president of the In
dependent Brotherhood Of Railroad
Trainmen, said a railroad pay reduc-
ton would result in a vicious wage
cutting spiral throughout practically
every industry in the land"
Mr.. Whitney refused to subscribe to
the contention of representatives Of
the carriers that wages should be based
upon ability of the roads to pay.
I'VE cannot believe" he said, that
basic wages should huctuate with busi-
ness conditions in the industry, as
such q philosophy suggests lower
ing Of living standards during depres-
sion periods and is contrary to public
policy"
Earier in the day Mr.. Harrison
expressed q similar opinion.
Ability to pay so far as labor Is
concerned" Mr.. Harrison asserted,
'shas no relationship to . fair wage
standard and should not be used Is
a determining factor"
