$4,000 ton limit stands.
HOUSING-Chairman Fahey of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board has

ing small apartment houses in small

would raise the maximum maturity
OF eligible mortgages to % years.

Board are unable to agree as to what !
amount of gas should be sold, has |
blocked the efforts of Germany to
secure helium for her new trans
Atlantic Zeppelin.
EMBARGO-The resolution by Sem
ator Nye to lift the embargo on arms
to Spain has been shelved by a vote

FIRST LADY SEES NO ELOPEMENT,
WOMEN GAINING SAY MAVERICKS

The barriers" that have OBJ
structed the holding of public of,
flee by women are being broken
down by women who do their jobs
well, is the belief of Mrs. Roose
welt.
In her question box in the Demo
cratic Digest, published today,
Mrs. Roosevelt was asked the ques,
ton:
do you think that women
have done all they could to break
down the barriers to their hold
ing public office?"
Pointing out that women alone
cannot break down all the bar
riers, she said:
ANY woman who does not do
her job efficiently, however,
builds up barriers which will
take a long time to break down.
Women haven't been holding
public office for such a very
long time and as a result some
of their own sex would vote for
a man in preference to a woman
because of their traditional
feeling that a man is better
fitted to do the work.
Every time a woman obtains
recognition of her work a little
of this feeling subsidies and I
think, on the whole, women are
breaking down the barriers
along every line of work as
quickly as could be expected"

Roosevelt Policy
In China Assailed

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is side-stepping
the "clear intent" of the neutral
ity act to protect "a few large
American corporations in China. :"
That assertion was made by
Frederick j. Libby, executive sec
retary of the National Council for
Prevention of War, who told the
Frankford Friends Forum that
1T was never intended that the
President should have any dis
cretion in invoking the act when
a state of war literally exists"

PINE TO SPEED
ALL D. C. TRIALS

Acting District Attorney David
A. Pine continued today to hold
pep" talks with members of his
staff at the Court House. Therell
be another meeting tomorrow.
At today's meeting Pine showed
his assistants there are 575 crimi-
nal cases on the docket awaiting
trial. He divided the cases among
the score of assistants and told
them at tomorrow's meeting he eX-
pected to hear from them just how
long it will take to bring these
cases to trial.
Following the first of the con-
ferences last night between Pine
and his % aides, he said that he
was about to put in operation a
plan drafted several months ago
with Leslie C. Garnett, his prede-
cessors when a third criminal
justice was to be designated.
Under this plan, Pine said that,
Immediately following the return
ing of an indictment, the case
would be referred to a designated
prosecutor, who would follow it
through to the end.
The prosecutor assigned to a
case will not be permitted to kill
the case, under the new set-up,
but must refer a case he thinks
does not warrant prosecution to a
special assistant, who will review
the evidence before final action is
taken.

of violating Minneapolis closing

PERSONAL TAXES
Police Serve Notices to
DeIinquents in D. C.

Approximately 1000 local resi-
dents faced subpoenas today for
alleged delinquencies in personal
tax returns for 1887 when the Of
flee of the Tax Assessor disclosed
only 46,000 returns have been filed
whereas some $4,000 persons are

: The District Minimum Wage
Board, under authority of the law
has set SIT weekly as the mini
mum wage for women workers in
retail trade. 1t has set the scale
at a slightly lower level for ap
prentice workers and has ordered
that part-time workers be paid by
the hour.
PARLEYS HELD
The board is now holding con
ferences leading to establishment
of minima for women in hotels,
restaurants and kindred establish
| ments.
Mrs. Roosevelt stamped the law
with her approval in the January
issue of the Democratic Digest,
publication of the Women's Oivi'
sion of the Democratic National
Committee.
She warned, however, minimum
wage laws should be subjected to
scrutiny lest they fail to achieve
the purposes for which they were
formulated. She said:
In principle I approve the
minimum wage law. I think,
however, that one should guard
against the possibility of the
minimum wage becoming the
maximum wage, which does
sometimes happen.
CHANGES POSSIBLE
1T seems to me that the
District of Columbia law makes
possible changes to meet the
need of the workers in the
District. 1t is only in working
out these laws, however, that
one can tell whether they are
substantially achieving the re-
suits desired.
II think that it would be
advisable to extend this legisla-
ton, with a constant eye, Of
course, to improvement of it
throughout the country"

NEW YORK, Jan. 4 QN.S).
State Department agents, weary
