DOUGLAS WARNS
STOCK MARKETS

G.NS.) Chairman william o.
Douglas, of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, in testi-
mony made public today by a
House Appropriations subcommit-
tee, again warned that national
stock exchanges must clean up
or be cleaned up by the Govern
ment.
Explaining his philosophy of
regulation, he said:
Government would keep the
shotgun, so to speak. behind
the door, loaded, well oiled,
cleaned and ready for use but
with the hope it would never
have to be used.
But the exchange would
take the lead. The door is still
open; it has not been closed.
But if the exchanges will not
do that, the job must be done.
The only recourse then would
be to have the Government do
it,"
Douglas denied that over-regu-
lation by the Government caused
the huge stock market shrinkage
of last fall. He conceded that
legislation outlawing pools did
restrict the market, but he de-
Tended this as proper regulation.

A. E. Demaray, associate di'
rector of the National Park Serv-
ice and Capt. Howard Ker, U. S.
A., appeared before the appropri-
ations subcommittee to justify
the White House item of $146,750.
They said the White House
building and grounds are in
pretty good shape as a result of
a $4,000 special appropriation
and $4,000 diverted from the Ma
tional Park Service budget last
year, but the President hasn't de-
cided what to do about that west
fence.
Under questioning by Repre-
sentative Fitzpatrick, aptain
Ker went into the west fence
problem thoroughly. 1t seems that
bids were called for last year, but
they were too high. Now the mat
ter will have to be taken up with
the President, but Captain Ker
told the committee he thinks the
President will let the fence stay
as it is for another year. When
the fence question was disposed
of the committee quickly approved
all the items in the budget.

ton, had an uncomfortable session
with the House Appropriations sub
committee on the Independent Of

sought to justify the organization
of Holes Group Health Associa-
ton.
1t was disclosed, further, that
in the opinion of Chairman John
H. Fahey, General Counsel Horace
Russell and other officers of the
Federal Home Loan Bank system,
any Federal employe may join the
Group Health Association and par
ticipate in its "socialized medicine"
benefits, subject only to the ap-
proVal of the association trustees.
1t was stated in testimony given
before the subcommittee:
l. That the Group Health AS
sociation provides surgical as
we'll as medical services for it's
members.
2. That the contribution of
$4,000 by the HOLC toward
getting it started was justified
by officers of the corporation
and of the FHLBB on the
ground that its activities served
to keep employees in better gen.
eral health and thus cut down
the loss of money and time
caused by sick leave. as we'll as
increase the efficiency of Hole

3. That the superintendent of

acterized the HOLC clinic at
1928 I st. N. W., as perhaps the
finest clinic of the sort in the
CITY,"
4. That five doctors, includ-
ing a general surgeon, five or
six nurses and several labora-
tory assistants are already on
the job in the clinic.
5. That in the view of Hole

no reason why the Group Health

GNS Testimony of Sidney

sion has dispatched two investi-
gators to Czechoslovakia to probe
shoe manufacturing costs there.
The data is being gathered in
response to a Senate resolution in
connection with pending con-
sideration of reciprocal trade
agreement with the Czechs, he
said. The Investigators are cen
tering the attention on cost
of Czech-manufactured cemented
shoes, Morgan asserted.
A similar investigation is being
made of American costs to serve
as a basis for tariff findings, and
the whole work is expected to be

veterans preferential employ

Industry as a whole is "slow-

SMITHSONIAN
FUNDS SOUGHT

When Eskimos or Indians help
out the Smithsonian Institution
in the far reaches of the cont.
nent they want pay and they want
it on the spot. 1t takes money
also to dig extinct American
camels and mammoth buffalo
from rock deposits in Colorado.
Hearings on the Independent
Offices Appropriations bill for
1889 disclosed today these and a
hundred other arguments were
advanced by the Smithsonian In
stitution in support of pleas for
funds. The Budget estimate for
1889 called for $343,785. This
compared with $349,285 appro.
priated for the institution for
1888.
To get nearer home, officials
pointed out that 20 to 25 addi-
tlonal guards ought to be hired
to watch over the institutions
headquarters here.
AS to the headquarters itself,
particularly the north hall of the
National Museum, DR.. Alexander
Wetmore, assistant secretary in
charge, estimated some $4,000
would have to be spent to repair
broken wall plaster.
Dr.. Wetmore caught the atten-
ton of the Congressional commit
tee by revealing that the Indians
used to shoot crap along the Co.
lumbia River about 1000 years
ago.
He said the museum had re-
Gently acquired primitive dice from
that region, as part of a collec-
ton of 100000 items added to the
Smithsonian finds.
Then, too, DR.. Wetmore testi-
fled, the museum has its own quin-
tuplets and what's more they're
100,000,000 years old. On cross-
examination, the doctor admitted
the five are lizards, 3.5 feet long,
found together in rocky bed of
strata in Colorado.

EXPANDED ADA
FOR REHOUSINC
Cites Serious Problem
In District Setup
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

Rehousing of low-income fami-
lies could progress more cheaply
and more rapidly, with greater ad.
vantage to the rehoused, if the
scope of the District Alley Dwell
ing Authority we're expanded.
This statement was made by
John Ihlder, executive officer OF
the Authority, before a House Ap-
preparations subcommittee, and
was revealed today when the In
dependent Offices appropriation
bill was presented.
In hearings before the subcom-
mittee, Mr.. Ihlder declared:
THE situation is pretty Sc
rious. We could build more
houses for the iow-income group
if we were not confined to alley
squares, so many of which are
not proper locations for hous-
ing, and could acquire cheaper
sites that are adapted to low
rent housing"
Mr.. Ihlder pointed out that If
the authority were permitted to
go outside of inhabited alleys, it
could acquire vacant land at lower
cost than the built-up properties
require.
The housing authority told the
congressional subcommittee, in ex-
planning that houses built by the
Alley Dwelling Authority are tax
exempt, that the tax exemption is
"a subsidy that the District ap-
plies, in our belief, to itself in
order to bring the property back to
a wholesome USE"
PENALTY ON d. C.
ut is a penalty" he said,
"paid by the District for having
permitted those conditions to
develop"
Mr.. Ihlder told the Subcommit-
tee that the authority could COM
plete its program of reclaiming
the remaining 176 alley squares
within the next Is years if it is
given adequate means"
"Wiping out slums," he said"
is not a quick job to be done
overnight. It involves an in
finite number of adjustments.
New uses must be found for old
slum sites, uses that fit in with
the city's growth. Families must
be adjusted to higher standard
Of living.
"When the New Deal began
in 1888 and 1884, there we're
perfectly sincere people advocat-
ing better housing who believed
that our slurnS could be wiped
out and all of that population
put into nice new dwellings
within four years of that Ad-
ministration.
England has been at this
thing for 10 years, and has not
finished it yet. There isn't a
country going that has been at
this better housing that has
finished the job, and many have
Deen dG IL over Ildl1 a Ce1lGuIJ'
PROUD OF HOUSES
Mr.. Ihlder indicated to the sub
committee that he was proud of
the houses built by the authority.
On a question by Representative
James M. Fitzpatrick D), of New
York, a member of the committee,
on the possibility that the houses
may be considered unfit to live
in" so years from now, Mr.. Ihdler
answered:
IF you and I can live that
long, I am willing to bet with
you that our Hopkins Place
houses will still be in use so
years from now, and will still be
considered good houses"
The Hopkins Place houses are
one-family four-room two-story
houses, renting for approximately
$25 month for new houses. There
are a few interim" houses there,
which have been reconditioned,
and are renting for as low as
$13.55 a month.

He visioned a huge Seaplane
weighing 125 tons and carrying
125 passengers from New York to
Europe. The cost, he said, would
be $37 a passenger.
This compared to the cost of
taking a passenger to Europe on

plane of $73, cost on the airship
Hindenburg of $132, and on the

Golf Pros May Form
Coalition 10 Beat
Cut in Pay Roll
By WALTER McCALLUM.

1t won't hit Sammy Snead, the
slim-hipped hillbilly who is on his
way to his first million, but for a
flock of golf pros who have been
cutting in on the sugar for years
and years that forthcoming payroll
looping job due on January is CIV
ing the boys the jitters. So worried
are a good many of the topline pros
the men who have been hitting
the headlines for half a decade and
more-that already you hear talk
of what they are going to do after
the deadline.
It's no secret that a pro golfer is
fixed when he makes the manu-
facturers' pay roll. He gets-or did
get-anywhere from the $500 paid
to the run-of- -the-mine man. up to
the rare five figure salaries paid to
the boys who reward their COM
panies by grabbing national cham
pionships.
Pros Have Worked Hard.
Quite a bunch of good golf pros
were on the pay rolls at $4,000 and
more. and bunch of them will be
cut off from this easy sugar month
and half hence.
Now the deal hasn't been one
sided. The pros have worked hard
designing clubs. On the market to-
day you'll find clubs stamped with
the names of most of the top tourna-
ment winners, which they themselves
designed. But as explained by the
general manager of one of the larger
golf manufacturing companies, the
manufacturers simply had to pull
in their horns and retrench. Golf
promotion by payment of salaries
to the pros was too expensive to
keep on, this man said, in all OF
which we seem to discern the fine
Italian mind of Eddie Conlin, the
Irishman with the penchant for
good business deals.
May Form Coalition.
What are the pros going to do to
bolster their skidding income? Well,
one thing being talked of is a
coalition OF 10 or a dozen Of the
better-known mentors who soon will
come OUT Win cluD designs OF tilelI
own, and talk to the manufacturers
something like this: 1--WE have de-
signed lot of new clubs. You can
have our designs-for a price-but
you must negotiate with us as a
unit and not with any Individual y
In other words if the boys can find
some one to build and market their
clubs we may have the situation
next year of a group of independent
pros competing with the old-line
manufacturers for the plenty lucra-
tive golf club business. I don't say
it will come, but it's being talked
about. And all the boys who have
been severed from the pay rolls
are concerned about the loss Of that
easy dough.
