thousands Of Government workers
These men and women come from
every State in the Union, and they
should be protected from the tempta-
ton to which great many of them
are yielding in playing the numbers
Congress, which is responsible for
their moral as well as physical safety,
should see that gambling is made as
difficult for them as possible. Under
present conditions they apparently
are encouraged to gamble, for we are
told that the numbers writer's 60
through Government buildings taking
plays. To many of these workers are
consumed by the gambling fever.
Starting out with small bets, they soon
are gambling away large portions of
their salaries.
Then there is the alarming increase
in crime reported in the National
Capital. It has been the experience
Of law-enforcement officials that
where q racket like the numbers IS
tolerated more Of less openly crime in
general is encouraged.
Il considered the so-called numbers
bill carefully before supporting it.
This measure was recommended by
the Senate District Committee and
passed by the Senate on February
10, 1887. The committee drafted It
at the request Of the police and the
district attorneys office. They said
the present lottery law was not
stringent enough to reach the num-
bers game and they could cope with
this racket II they had this amend
ment making possession Of numbers
tickets prima facie evidence of guilt,
"The bill has been pending before
the House for . year. Why the House
has failed to approve 1t do not know,
but I think this legislation should
pass. I believe 1t will reduce crime
in the District and give the police q
more effective weapon against vicious
racket

HOSPITAL DEFECTS

Mrs. Roosevelt Says Freed

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt declared
today that defects" In equipment ut
Freedmen's Hospital present . "se-
rious situation" which has It's effect
on the country at large as much as on
the District of Columbia.
Referring at her press conference
to recent visit to the hospital, Mrs.
Roosevelt pointed out that Freedmen's
is one of two hospitals in the United
States which offers standard training
for colored doctors and nurses. Due
to lack of facilities. graduates Of the
institution, which is under the De-
partment of Interior, are unable to
meet registered license requirements
In New York State at the present time,
she declared.
Discussing the subject of an adequate
defense program for the United States,
Mrs. Roosevelt expressed the opinion
that larger naval defense probably
is needed but said she did not feel
qualified to say how far such a pre-
gram should 60.
The people of the United States
probably can keep their heads" well
enough to add to their defense with.
out becoming aggressors, she added.

dents wife whose coiffure has aroused

STATE RIGHT TO FIX
VANS WIDTH UPHELD
Supreme Court Rules in Favor of
South Carolina Despite Inter.
state Commerce.

The Supreme Court ruled today that
the State Of South Carolina has au-
thority to regulate the width of trucks
operating on its highways. even
though the vehicles may be engaged
IN interstate commerce.
The unanimous opinion reversed a
lower court ruling. which had held
that State statute limiting the width
of trucks to 80 inches was an unrea.
sonable burden on interstate COM
merce.
The opinion of the Supreme Court,
delivered by Justice Stone. said the
State had authority to make the reg
ulation in the interest of traffic safety
and to preserve its highways.
Intervening as a friend of the
court" the Justice Department had
asserted that the regulations are an
unreasonable burden on interstate
commerce in so far as they apply to
trafiic on the interstate system of
Federal-aid highways" The Justice
Department also contended that the
litigation affects the success of the
Federal-aid highway program"
In another decision, the court up
held the validity of rates fixed in the
city of Laredo, Tex, for the sale of
gas by the United Gas Public Service
Co. The action to enforce the rates
was instituted by former Gov. Miriam
A. Ferguson in the State courts de-
spite the fact that the utility had
instituted proceedings in Federal
courts. and the principal question was
yhether, under the circumstances,
State courts had jurisdiction.
After the delivery of several other
opinions, the court recessed until
February %.

FAILS TO "CL|CK'
Democrat and Republican
Groups Found Cool to
Coalition Move.
ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Senator Vandenberg's renewed pro-
possl for . Coalition party Of Repub-
licans and "Jedersonian Democrats"
failed today to arouse marked enthu-
siasm among leaders Of either group.
Prominent Republicans indicated in
Lincoln Day speeches that they would
welcome the support Of dissenting
members of President RoosevelJ's party.
None, however. went so far as did VAN
denberg In suggesting possible sub
mergence Of the Republican label
Speaking at Boston Saturday night,
the Michigan Senator declared that
II saving the American system re-
quired altering the Republican iden-
tity, would do it,
Democrats Fail to Comment.
Anti-Roosevelt Democrats in Con-
gress refrained from public comment
on his proposal, first advanced last
September. Some, however said pri-
vately that they preferred at this time
to work for their principles within
their own party.
There has been talk since last sum-
mer that Republicans might support
Tor reelection some of the Democratic
Senators who opposed the Presidents
court-reorganization bill These sug-
gestions have not crystallized, and most
observers expect Republicans to have
their own senatorial candidates in all
the States concerned.
These factional differences in Demo-
cratic ranks were noted at most of
the Lincoln Day celebrations, which
began the Republican campaign to
increase the party's congressional
strength In the November elections.
Hamilton Among Speakers.
National Chairman John D. Hamil-
ton was among the speakers who bid
for Democratic support. Proposing a
joint toast to Thomas jefferson and
Abraham Lincoln, he said:
The Republican party is more JEFF
fersonian today than those who pay
mere lip service to his name"
Gov. George D. Aiken of Vermont,
representing one of the two States
which went Republican in 1896, said
In New York address that hereafter
the people will stand for neither the
erratic wanderings of the New Deal
nor the self-satisied smugness of the
Old Guard Republicanism."
Counsel Of Gov. Aiken.
President Roosevelt's leadership has
given way to 'fumbling futility." Gov.
Aiken said. He counseled Republicans
Forget your hatred for the Presi-
dent. Stop crying Fascist every time
he makes move. Stop worrying about
reds in the White House Because of
your reckless hatred the minds of
many American men and women are
shut against your honest criticisms"
The Vermont Governor objected to
the fact that "just labor men, and
only 81 representing agriculture were
on the newly formed Republican Pro-
gram Committee of PIT members
TO represent the people," he said.
"one must know them. Lincoln did.
The Republican national leadership
today does not"
