CHANGE OPPOSED
IN WELFARE UNIT
D. c. Heads Hit Bill to Put in
Board of 3 Sa|aried
Members Here.

Opposition of the bill of Representa-
tive Wood, Democrat, of Missouri, call
ing for abolition Of the Board OF Pub
lie Welfare and the substitution of a
board of three paid members, was
voiced today by the Commissioners in
a report to be presented to the House
and Senate District Committees.
The board now consists of nine
members appointed by the Commits
sioners, and who serve without salary.
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal
reporting for the Commissioners, de-
clared the present unsalaried board
plan lis working out to the satisfac-
ton Of the informed members of the
community and no valid criticism has
been made of it."
The Wood bill, offered last year, pro-
poses appointment of three members
at $4,000 a year, to serve for six
years, and secretary at 5000, to be
named by the board
The Commissioners also were to send
to Congress the draft of a proposed
bill to legalize the showing of prize
night films in the District They ad-
vocated the change several months
ago.
Amendment Of the District Liquor
Act. to provide for a new form Of Ii
cense for railroad cars and marine
vessels selling liquor also is proposed.
An annual fee of 500 would be i'm
posed, but the present $40 annual fee
for each railroad dining or club car
in which liquor is sold would be re-
duced to $40.
officials said the railroads have re-
trained from selling liquor while the
cars are in the District because of the
amount Of the present fee, which
would be multiplied by each car in
which beverages were to be sold. The
change, it was calculated, would ef-
feet some saving to the railroads and
new license fees to the District.

WAITS ON PLANS.
Meeting With President on
Jefferson Structure MAY
Be Next Week.
Bv WILL P. KENNEDY.

The conference of the special COM
mittee of the Thomas Jefferson Me-
mortal Commission with the President
has been postponed until after March
Is. It is expected by that time to
have completed the revised designs to
meet the wishes Of the President and
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Hopes for having the 100000
memorial approved and appropriations
made at the present session of Con-
gress are centered on the White House
conference, Chairman Boylan disclosed
today. For that reason it is hoped
to have the new design completed
during the coming week.
The redrafted design. Mr.. Boylan
said, gives assurance that it will not
interfere in any way with the contour
OF the Tidal Basin or with the cherry
trees. The earlier design contem-
plated a drastic change in the entire
Tidal Basin area and was said to
neceSsitate wholesale destruction of
the cherry trees.
Chairman Boylan also intimated
the new design will be a departure
from the dome effect which has here
tofore been emphasized as distinctive
OF the Jeffersonian type of architec-
ture. The more open" design is
being drawn in acquiescence to the
Presidents wishes, so that it NAV be
distinctive from the Lincoln Memorial
type, while harmonizing with it in
other respects.
I'VE feel confident that the new
design will be completed by the archi-
tects during the coming week" said
Mr.. Boylan, 80 that it can be SUBJ
mltted to the President in plenty of
time to have the appropriation passed
at the present session."
Meanwhile. J. Gardner Menut of
2l24 street NV, in a letter to
Inc Star today, suggested that the
Jefferson Memorial be placed on Co.
lumbia Island, directly in line with
the Capitol, Washington Monument
and Lincoln Memorial, as would seem
appropriate for so great a man as
Thomas Jefferson"
In the opinion of Government Of
flclals, Mr.. Menut's suggestion comes
too late. inasmuch as the Bureau of
Public Roads of the Department of
Agriculture has decided on other plans
for the improvement of that area.
Under MIR. Menut's suggestion, Co
lumola Island could be developed as
a part Of this memorial (the Thomas
Jefferson) and the name could prop
erly be changed to Jefferson Island.
This proposed location is easily
reached over the Arlington Memorial
Bridge and from Virginia, Thomas
Jefferson's native State, and would,
therefore, be quite accessible from
other points of interest"

OF view and information was provided
by Park and Planning Officials on the
bill.

starting discussion and was subject to

1t was stated. told the group of the
investigation and report made by the
commission in 1929 and 1890, at
which time comprehensive program
for recreation land development was
made and unification of facilities was
recommended.
Mr.. Nolen explained that land pur-
chase necessarily had to come first
and that since grounds have been i'm
proved by w. P A. and F. E.. R. A..
work, 1t was now time to think OF CO.
ordination Of facilities.

Seek Rail Rate Board


THE railroads are edging
l. around inside toward an ap
plication for another S per cent
rail rate increase from ICC.
Also Uncle Daniel Willard, 76-
year-old president of the Balti-
more and Ohio, is privately
sounding out labor on accepting
q Z per cent wage cut.
These two doubtful moves are
furnishing whatever hope still
exists in the railroad situation.
All hands seem to have aban-
doned any idea of getting benz
fetal legislation this session.
The roads seem backward about
taking advantage of equipment
loan offers from RFC. They al
ready have more equipment than
traffic.
The only advantage they
think they will gain from the
Presidents message is the land
grant rate revision which means
only 100000 and that only
to land grant roads.
The 5 to 6 split in ICC
against increasing passenger
fares leads them to suspect they
might get an additional 5 per
cent freight increase If they try
again. Labor is not enthusiast
tic about the Willard Z per cent
cut proposal.
