After hearing the numbers game

of all the vices" the Citisens' Forum
of Columbia Heights last night adopted
= resolution urging immediate passage
by Congress of Senator Kings bill
to facilitate the fight against local
lottery operators.

forums Law and Legislation Com
mittee. who introduced the unani-
mously approved resolution. criticized
hostility toward the measure by some

numbers game Is allowed to flourish"
Mr.. Coulliette declared, pointing out
that the racket" had even invaded the

that there be no increase in the gaso.
line tax and no diversion Of receipts
from highway uses, and that the
fixing of the tax rate on real and
personal property be left to the Dis
trict Commissioners. The resolution,
introduced by A. M. Edwards, chair
man Of the Taxation Committee, ex-
pressed opposition % a business priv

an income tax for the District and
favored consumers sales tax, ex-
empting food. medicine and cheaper

The forum went on record as favor
ing an increase In the general speed
limit from % miles per hour to Is

BRAGG|OTTI Girl
TO WE'D ARTIST
BY NANCY RANDOLPH

NEW YORK, May % (C.TP.S0.
It's love again in the all-but legen'
Diary Braggiotti clan. This time
it's Gloria who is to marry.
Her engagement to Emlen Ell
ting, the eminent young American
artist, Is being announced
today by her brother-in:law and
sister, Mr.. and Mrs. John Davis
Lodge, who are domiciled in Eng.
land at the moment.
If Gloria marries in June, as Is
now planned; it will be the third
wedding in the musical Braggiotti
family within the last IL months.
A year ago her brother, Rama
Braggiotti. and Elizabeth Stephen
son, Of Brookline, Mass, were mar
ried. And in January Of this year,
the most gifted pianist Of the fam
lily, Mario Braggiotti. married
Baby" Mary Glow, Of Chicago.
Gloria is a member Of a clan
whose racial mixture, Boston's
Back Bay crossed with artistic
Italian, with a dash Of French and
Turkish thrown in for good
measure, is enough to make 1t out
standing in any community.

Coz. Leche's Mistake

THESE Misunderstanding ap-
L pear to work both ways, not
only for an Administration can
didate, but against his opponent
in the Democratic primaries.
Latest mourner Of this fact
Is Gov. Richard L.eche Of Louisi-
ana, who is not running for
anything this year, but whose
friends expected him to be ap-
pointed to a Federal judgeship.
His Louisiana associates say
the commission has already been
written out, but the appoint
ment will not be made. It
seems Gov. Leche made q mis-
take, too, but the wrong mis-
take. He put himself on record
in favor Of Barkley'S opponent,
Gov. Happy Chandler.
At the same time lavish prep
arations are being made for the
November election, when mis-
takes and Observation-Disclosures
will no longer be necessary.
Biggest Of these far-sighted
steps, so far as the farm belt
is concerned, is the Russell
amendment to the Spend-lend
bill proposing to give the farm
ers $212,000,0O0 as partparity
payment bounties for promising
to adhere to the 1899 curtail-
ment program.

appropriation bill, as passed by
the Senate, contained two
obscure Barley amendments
which may constitute a sort Of
= Barley APA, or agricultural
progress administration for the
success Of the Administration
candidate.
The first increases by 81, 00O,-
900 an appropriation permitting
the National Forestry Service to
take over and promote about
$4,000 acres Of cut-over land
mostly In Pike county, Kentucky,
and employ q large number Of
people who worked In the coal
mines nearby until these were
shut down. Total cost $11, 000s-
600.
The second one boosts by
S250,000 the funds to be allowed
for the Burley tobacco inSpec-
ton service. It means that
about 140 more good Kentuck-
ians can be put on the pay roll
at an average stipend Of $500
per annum.
Mr.. Barley, In perSuading
tho Agriculture Committee to
adopt the amendments, frankly
confessed the increases were not
authorized by the Budget
Bureau but-with q smile that
won his point - said: THE
money could not be better
spent"

HIT
POLICE PENSION

Members Of the Washington
Taxpayers Association today went
on record as opposing the congress
sional bill to appropriate $413.00O
in the District budget to permit
2iremen and policemen to retire at
the age Of IS and to establish a
6ive-day week for firemen.
The bill, which has already
passed the House and now goes to
the Senate. will, according to the
association, require an appropr1a'
ton Of one and half million dol
lars ultimately as drawn.
In opposing the measure, the as
ISOLATION said:
There is no reason why po-
licemen and firemen In good
health should be permitted to re-
tire at their own election at the
age Of IS when they are well
able to carry on their work. The
years Of experience make them
more valuable as public serv-
ants"
Declaring that these men are
the most favored Of the Districts
employees, the association pointed
out that 1t costs the taxpayers Of
the District 1851 annually FOL
each active member Of the uni
formed forces to provide their pen
sions, where only S16R was paid tc
teachers and only $40 for al
other employees Of the city.

was one. It Is quite widely said
in New Deal circles that Harry
would not play politics with

The touching story is that he
was Just overpowered by a news
man who dropped out of a clear
sky and got him to say that II
he were an Iowan he would vote
for Otha Wearin, the candidate
who sided with Mr.. Roosevelt on
everything. 1t was just q mis-
take; another popular misun-
derstanding.

That was how the famous
Dionne quintuplets were celebrat-
ing their fourth birthday today
along with q lot of "firsts."
Today, for instance, for the
first time, the five little girls will
learn beyond a shadow Of doubt
that birthday cakes are to be
eaten, not Just punched and pum-
melled with pudgy, exploring
fingers.
The quints are big girls now and
plenty Of new delights are in
store for them.
ICE CREAM. TOO!
DR.. Allan Roy Dafoe, a virtual
''MuSSolini" to the quintS, also
has decided to permit them lit
tie ice cream.
In addition to these delights,
the quints will have Papa OLIVIA
ard Mama Elzire Dionne sitting
with them at the birthday table,
as well as their brothers and
sisters-all but the older ones who
are away at school.
Except for the party, however,
the day will be much like any
other for the girls. Both morning
and afternoon they will romp in
the play yard.
PRESENTS TO UNWRAP
But when the party begins they
will have presents to unwrap,
cards to look at, cake with candles
alight-and that ice cream.
This will be their third birth.
day celebration in the Dafoe
nursery, and perhaps, If proposed
plans materialize, the last.
Mama and papa were invited to
birthday parties in other years,
but they never came. This year
since it is to be just a family
party, they will be on hand. Said
papa:
1T will be the most joyful
day we have known since their

Responding to urgent Admins

ences between President Roosevelt,

on the railroad problem.
Senate and House leaders vir-
tually abandoned all hope of
action on pending legislation au-
thorizing the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation to loan $780,
100000 to railroads. Leaders
cauStically criticized railroads for

Russell Hazy About 1t

THE amendment bears the
l. name of Senator Russell Of
Georgia but when newsmen first
approached him he seemed a
little hazy about the details,
especially on the point why
$212,0O0,OO0 was the proper
sum, instead Of $211,000. 900
or $213.O0O,OO0. It was apparent
the only place where the COM
plicated bill could have been
worked out is the Agriculture
Department, although Agricul-
ture Secretary wallace cannot
be pinned down to confessing it,
until Mr.. Roosevelt has secured
q promise from congressional
leaders that they will pass proc
essing taxes to pay for it.
The President is represented
inside as not wanting to be
harsh about it and will be salts
fled If the boys will promise to
pass the tax next year after
election.
If this goes through, Mr.. Wal
lace may thus be able to stave
off the threatened farm revolt
until after all votes are cast.

Weurin Interview

TUE reporter who asked 1t was
i experienced Richard Wilson,
Washington correspondent OF
the Des Moines Register-Trib-
une. >,
Capable Mr.. wilson had not
been up in the sky, clear or
otherwise, that day, but he had
lust come from a very clear con-
ference with Mr.. Otha Wearin.
Few newS-men were present at
that conference. Mr.. Wear1n
had called them in to tell them
about some flood control work
he was doing, but a portion Of
the conversation went like this
(not exactly but in substance):
Reporter: ''Is the Administers
ton behind your candidacy"
Wearin: "You,will have to ask
someone closer to it than I am"
Reporter: HAS Wallace or
Farley or anyone else ever come
out for your"
Wearin: mot that I know Of"
Reporter: "Well, whom should
we ask?"
Wearin: eff you will 60 down
and ask Harry Hopkins you
might find out something"
Thus, while some few political
developments may in the dim
past have dropped out Of the sky
In Washington, this does not
appear to be one. While several
similar mistakes have been made
in the same way by Mr.. Hopkins
and others, they appear to have
been well-arranged mistakes, and
weeping official mourners are
consoling themselves with the
fact that all have been made on
the side Of Administration can
didateS.

REORGANIZATION
ACT DEMANDED
BY ROOSEVELT
He Wants to Show Hill
Who Is Papa
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt, within the
last three days, has told members
Of Congress he wanted the re.
organization bill rescued from the
pigeon hole Of the committee to
which it was relegated and passed
in the House, which recommitted
it several weeks ago.
The reason the President wants
this done, for one thing, Is to re-
store the prestige lost by the Ad-
ministration and its Congressional
leaders when the House refused to
pass the bill or vote it down, but
recommitted It. Technically, the
House sent the bill back to the
committee for a few finishing
touches.
ACTUALLY A REBUFF
Actually, it was recommitted as
a rebuff to the President, as the
result Of q sudden nationwide
cry of Dictatorship" Political op.
ponents Of the President thought
they saw in the reorganization OF
government bureaus and depart.
mentS too much power In the
hands Of the Chief Executive.
The White House and Congress
sional leaders who have consulted
with the President have main
tanned q well-kept air Of non
chalance over the fate Of the re-
organization bill. Persons who
can penetrate to the inner bar
rierS of the White House Secre-
tariat are hypnotized into believ.
ing that actually the President
really and truly takes a philo-
sophical view Of the pigeon-holed
reorganization bill.
Congressional leaders who call
on the President for conferences
on program and procedure in the
Senate and House tell inquiring
reporters they have been discuss
ing procedure" and the leaders,
such as the embattled Majority
Leader Rayburn and Speaker
Bankhead apparently never want
to see the bill again. Both Of
them gave their energies to the
limit in trying to stave off House
defeat. They've got all they can
do to keep the House in line, pass
the rest Of the measures, includ-
ing an important deficiency item
adjourn and run home to Con-
gressional campaigns.
HAIR SPLIT WORD
The reason they report discus
sions Of procedure" is that the
reorganization subject has passed
both houses The Senate has
two reorganization bills already
passed by the House The
House has the reorganization bill
passed by the Senate. This latter
is the one with which they hit
the Administration in the eye
and damaged the New Deals pres
tige. The Senate could enact
those two bills in its possession
and the Government would be re-
organized.
But no. The President wants
to teach his opponents the same
lesson they learned with the
death sentence" which was de-
feated and then passed; the
wages-hours bill, which was buried
and passed. These sudden re-
verses showed the ultimate New
Deal political power. so the Presi'
dent thinks.
He wants the boys on the Hill
to get busy and get that reorgani-
zation bill out Of the committee
and passed just to show who is
papa"
