FIGHT TO FORCE
VOTE ON LYNCH
BILL Renewed.
Supreme Effort Today
Expected to Fail
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN

UN.S). Senate supporters OF
the anti.lynching bill rallied their
forces today in a supreme effort
to force a vote on the measure,
though their goal seemed unat.
tainable in view of the tenacious
lfilibuster of Dixie Senators.
Senator Wagner CD Of New
York, co-sponsor of the measure,
took the lead in spurring advo-
Gates of the measure to stand
firmly against sidetracking the
bill.
Contending forces had reached
a stalemate, with proponents un,
able to force vote because Of the
filibuster and opponents admit
ting they did not have enough
votes lined UP to shelve the
measure.
Pleas of leaders of the filibuster
to the Democratic leadership to
make the motion to lay aside the
bill were unavailing. Democratic
Leader Barkley Of Kentucky,
while insisting a showdown must
come soon, was not ready to make
the motion to sidetrack the bill.
initiating against efforts of the
filibuSterS was the absence of
pressing legislation to use as a
lever for Sidetracking votes. Ad-
ministration leaders had yet to
declare their willingness to make a
motion to take up the bill for
reorganization Of the Executive
Branch of the Government.
Argument was advanced that it
is not of an emergency character.
Suggestions that the independent
offices supply bill or the annual
Navy Department appropriation
bill be called up, also met the
same argument.

OFFERS REMEDIES

Commissioner Hazen offered as
remedies more judges, more police
and registration of men with
criminal records on arrival in
Washington. This is required in
Philadelphia and other cities, it
was said.
I'm opposed to that" Sena-
tor King shot back. Suppose 1
had been convicted of a felony
Is years ago. You would require
me to register?"
We'll, we have to have some
way to keep track of these fel-
lows" Major Ernest Brown, po-
lice chief, put in.
Evan H. Tucker, Northeast civic
leader, deplored criticism of the
newspapers for emphasizing crime
in Washington, and said he
thought they were performing q
wonderful service" He expressed
the view that a whipping post in
Washington would be an effective
deterrent to crime as it has been
in Delaware.
Five bills were referred by
Senator King to subcommittee
and two were reported favorably
to the Senate.
Those given to subcommittee
relate TO zoning, revision of the
code, small loans, Traffic Bureau
records and regulation of barber
shops and beauty parlors.
The committee approved a bill
exempting the property of the
Society of the Cincinnati from
taxation and another measure
modifying the titles of the chic
clerk and chief sanitary inspecto
LOT the Health Department.

King, chairman of the COM
mittee, interjected.
OPINIONS BANDED
Opinions as to the cause and
cure of crime in Washington
were banded back and forth for
half an hour, with little results
except for Chairman Kings in.
Struction to President Melvin C..
Hazen of the District Commits
sioners to prepare your bills and
send them up"
King promised sympathetic
consideration of all measures
recommended by the Commits
sioners, but emphatically an
nounced his own opposition to any
great increase in the police de-
partment.
King told the Commissioners
they ought to make up their minds
about the reorganization proposals
of the committee and said the
Senate committee would carefully
scrutinize any reorganization rec
concentrations of the Commis-
Sioners themselves.
DENIES CRIME WAVE
Attorney General Cummings
Characterization of Washington as
disgracefully crime ridden was dis
puted by Commissioner Hazen.
Il deny there is any crime
wave here" Commissioner Ha-
zen protested. Crime is at q
minimum. 1 don't know of any
way to make conditions any
better except by providing more
police"
Discussion of WaShington'S
crime problem was precipitated
by Senator King who read at
length from statements by Rep
resentative Ross Collins CD Of
Mississippi, member of the House
Appropriations Committee, criti-
cizing the police and declaring
that Washington has a larger
number of police in proportion to
population than any other city.
This was denied by Commis-
sioner Hazen.
There was general agreement
that probably half of the crime in
Washington is attributable to
"floaters" coming here from other
cities.

Indian Bureau
Nails Vanishing

The vanishing American" is q
myth, officials of the Indian Bureau
said yesterday.
The Indian, victim Of years of con-
quest and pestilence, is reappearing
on the American scene with startling
rapidity.
Bureau officials even expressed con-
oern because the increase of the ma
tive Americans was not accompanied
by corresponding increase in their
land and resources
Commissioner John Collier esti-
mated that the present Indian popu-
lation of the United States was 337,-
366. compared with 100000 at the
turn Of the century and 846, 900 when
the white man first came to this coun-
try.
The Indian had the advantage of
. high birth rate to Offset high
death rate during the years of pesti-
lence and fighting that followed the
white invasion" OF this continent.
Mr.. Collier said the Indian death
rate still was high-l3.7 per cent per
1000 Of population-but that 1t was
dropping slowly because of improved
living conditions. The birth rate
22.3 per cent per thousand-remains
among the highest of any population

FIREMAN MADE EXPERT

Rescue Felines.

Although he modestly denied today
that he Is a specialist at rescuing
freed cats, Fireman J. c. Arnold Of
Engine Co. No. learned last night
that he has way with the felines.
Fireman Arnold's first test came
early in the evening at 1888 Sixteenth
street NV, where it was reported a
cat had been up a tree for two days
and refused to accede to the rescue
attempts Of passersby. The fireman
mounted a 40-foot ladder, murmuring
sweet nothings at the cat the while.
The animal leaped into his arms and
was carried to safety
No sooner had the fireman reported
success than he was sent on another
"treed cat case at 26l5 Brentwood
road NE. This time the rescue was
made by climbing the roof of the
house and shaking branch on which
the cat was perched.

OF FASCIST MARCH
But Secretary AssaiIs Wolf
Cry Before Dictatorship
Really Threatens.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 4-Harold l..
Ickes. Secretary Of the Interior,
sounded warning that "Fascism-
arrogant, devoid of conscience and
knowing no mercy for man, woman
or child-is on the march"
Speaking at dinner last night
in commemoration of the 60th ami
versary of the founding the Jewish
Daily Courier, the Secretary said
'Fascism is the deadly and insidious
foe that We must prepare to combat
without loss of time
Let us make no mistake" he said.
"Totalitarianism is real threat to
our institutions. More and more peo-
pie are coming to recognize the danger
even to America of this ruthless po-
litical monster that hunts by day and
prowls by night.
They are coming to realize that
unless we are luckier than We are
likely to be, our concern for the
safety Of our democratic institutions
will increase rather than diminish"
No Danger at Moment, He Says.
The Secretary asserted that those
who cry out in tones of simulated
anguish that at this moment in the
United States there is an existing die
tatorship are doing distinct dis
service to their country"
There is danger" he said, "in
crying wolf too often or at the wrong
time. There is danger in creating
fears Of dictatorship when there is no
dictatorship. If the brave efforts
of great Democratic leader to inn
prove conditions are con-
tinually baked by false cries of die
tatorship there is the danger that our
people may come to feel that eco
nomic security can be had only
through a dictatorship"
Continuing. the Secretary said:
1--WE do need to guard against
Fascism, as does every democratic
country that is left in the world. But
to shout dictatorship when none ex-
lists is only to cause confusion. 1t
plays into the hands of the enemy
1t detracts attention from the danger

Earle of Pennsylvania told the Chi

Congress that there was no essential

"The idea of an annual wage
TO give workmen greater secur-
