PLANS ARE HALTED
ON HEALTH UNIT
Opposition to Building on
Site of Old School Be.
Iieved Reason.

Preparation Of plans for the Dis
trict's first health center at First
and L streets NV, for which Con-
gress has appropriated $165. 900, has
been sunmarily halted, 1t was revealed
today.
Apparently work on the plans was
stopped because Of opposition Of one
or more members of Congress to build
ing Of the polyclinic on the site Of the
old Jones Elementary School. but the
Commissioners declined to make any
statement for publication.
This was taken as an indication the
issue has been discussed at the private
hearings on the 1889 estimates now
being conducted by the House Dis
trict Subcommittee on Appropriations.
headed by Representative Collins,
Democrat, Of Mississippi.
Representative Collins has advo-
Gated abandonment Of the plan 10

School site, and at his suggestion the
Commissioners considered purchase OF
the old Homeopathic Hospital as .
substitute plan. The suggestion, how
ever. was frowned on by the Commis-
sioners after health and engineering
ofI1cials reported the hospital building
was not suited to the purposes OF .
modern health center.
One oficial explained the question
had not been finally settled and that
this was the reason why drafting Of
the plans for the First and L project
had been halted. It had been es-
timated that the plans would be COM
pleted and ready for bids from con-

By the Associated Press.
Congressional farm leaders said to-
day they hoped to have an "ever-nor-
NAL granary" bill ready for final action
within week or 10 days.
They said the last weeks confer
ences on the separate bills passed by
the House and Senate had brought
agreement on provisions for rice and
tobacco. Provisions of the two bills
respecting these crops differed little.
Proposed controls over planting and
marketing of corn, wheat and cotton
remain for adjustment, they said, and
| added that these promised the most
controversy.
Chairman Smith Of the Senate Agri-
culture Committee said the group will
have to agree upon some sort Of a bill
because farmers will have to start
planning and planting crops soon"
Senator Pope, Democrat, Of Idaho
said the conferees had about decided
to accept House provision which per-
mits the Secretary Of Agriculture to be
a party to any railroad freight rate
case in which prices Of farm commodi-
ties are involved.
Other conferees said they had about

FORD ACTION CITED
IN RAILWAY SALE
Refused to Promise to Con.
tinue Shipping Over Line,
Son Says.
By the Associated Press.

Henry Ford turned down a proposal
that he promise to continue shipping
his products over a railroad he was
selling in 1929, Edsel Ford told the
Senate Railroad Investigating Com
mittee yesterday.
The Pennsylvania Railroad. 1t was
testified, sought to get the promise
when the Pennroad Corp. was nego-
tiating to buy the Ford-owned Detroit,
Toledo & Ironton road. After Mr.
F'ords refusal Pennroad bought the
other carrier, anyway.
Committee Investigators contended
the pact would have violated Federal
law and this view was shared by
Pennsylvania Railroad counsel
Edsel Ford, son of the famous auto
mobile manufacturer, said the Ford
company acquired the Detroit, Toledo
e. 1ronton when it was in bad shape
and rehabilitated it, but decided to
sell it in 1929. partly because Of Gov
| ernment restrictions.
Referring to regulations of the
| Interstate Commerce Commission, he
said:
I'VE had some ideas about rolling
stock, but We found we couldn't do the
things we wanted"
He quietly corroborated the testi-
mony of Pennsylvania officials that
they sought to obtain the written
agreement from the Fords
A. J. County, Pennsylvania vice
president and a director of Penn
road, said the agreement was sought
because he did not believe the rail-
road was worth the $4,000 900 asked
by Mr.. Ford unless a guarantee of
future traffic could be obtained
Under the Elkins Act. railways are
forbidden to give any rebate to ship
pers Committee investigators con-
tended that since Pennroad was will
ing to pay the purchase price only
in consideration of future traffic, part
of the price would have been re
| bate" to Ford.
