FIVE D. c. BILLS
FACE HOUSE VOTE
Resolution Seeking Probe of
6. n. A. Also Is Due to
Be introduced.

House members will center their
attention this week on proposed Dis
trict legislation.
The House itself tomorrow will pass
on five District bills on its calendar,
and later in the week hearings are
expected to start on the controversial
so-called fair trade" legislation spon-
sored by Chairman Palmisano of the
House District Committee.
Representative Shafer, Republican,
of Michigan, . member of the Dis
trict Committee, also plans to intro
duce early in the week q resolution
calling for an investigation of Group
Health Association, Inc, whose So
cialized medicine activities he has
branded as q racket" Mr.. Shafer
has stoutly defended the District
Medical Society in its controversy
with g., H. A.
Change in Name Of Street.
One Of the five bills slated for
Eouse consideration. touacrrow would
clAnge. he nAlne> of Water street6.w.
to Maine avenue. Representative
Brewster. Republican, of Maine, spon-
sor Of this legislation, has tried for
several years to have a street in
Washington named in honor Of his
State. Last year Congress passed q
bill to name one of the new thorough
fares in the Mall Maine. avenue, but
President Roosevelt vetoed it. The
President, however, according to Mr..
Brewster, has no objection to chang
ing the name of Water street to
Maine avenue.
Another bill to be passed on by the
House is designed to relieve railroads
Of the expense and necessity of pro-
curing separate liquor licenses for
each club, dining and lounge car on
which liquor is sold while q train is
in Washington. A blanket license
would be issued to each railroad cov-
ering all its dining, club and lounge
cars.
OF the three other bills, one would
raise the salary Of the secretary Of
the Minimum Wage Board from $4,000
to $500 . year. Another would re-
lieve the Mount Olivet Cemetery Co.
from benefit assessments against its
property son Bladensburg road NE.
The nth measure would provide q
congressional charter for the United
States Power Squadron.
Public Hearings Planned.
The so-called fair trade practice"
bill is now before the Judiciary Sub
committee Of the District Committee.
Chairman Mc0ehee, at the direction
OF the full committee, plans to hold
public hearings on 1t before the end
Of the week.
Opponents Of the measure are ex-
pected to offer vigorous opposition to
its approval for fear 1t may result in
an increase in commodity prices.
What the bill aims to DO, they have
pointed out, Is to give manufacturers
the right to fix actual resale prices,
below which It would be illegal to sell
the article. This so-called minimum"
resale price, it was declared, Is the
actual resale price and fixes the margin
OF profit for the retailer as well as
fixing the price to the consumer.
Representative Kennedy, Democrat,
OF Maryland, is expected to take the
lead in the fight against the bill. 1t
was Mr.. Kennedy who, with the as
sistance Of Representative Nichols,
Democrat. Of Oklahoma. blocked i'm
mediate approval of the bill by the full
committee, and forced public hearings
on it before further consideration.

PROPOSED MARINA
IN CAPITAL HAILED
Water Front improvement Is Seen
Stimulating Interest in Yachts
and Small Craft.

Creation of . marina along the
Washington Channel water front,
which will be larger than the one at
San Francisco. will stimulate interest
in yachts and small craft generally
all over the Nation, Ira Hand, secre-
tary Of the National Association of
Engine and Boat Manufacturers, said
yesterday.
Mr.. Hand, who has conferred with
Maj. Walter D. Luplow. district engi-
neer for the War Department for the
washington area, and other officials
here regarding the Improvement
pointed out that the marina will en-
body all modern conveniences. Inas-
much as the Army engineers plan to
turn the 50, ,o00. 900 project, which will
take eight years to construct, over to
the District Government for operation,
Mr.. Hand said. the development not
only will pay dividends in health and
recreation but If the experience of
such cities as San Francisco and
Miami are any criteria-will prove
profitable from financial standpoint.
In the other cities, he added. as
much as Is per cent has been real
lied on the original investment.
Last year in the United States, said
Mr.. Hand. % new marinas were
opened. Fourteen existing ones are
being enlarged and IL more started
construction and will be finished this
year.
Mr.. Hand foresees an influx of new
business to Washington because of the
marina. Many yachtsmen who now
shun the Capital, due to the unin-
viting water front and lack Of modern
facilities, will be brought here when
the word spreads that this city is pro-
viding q worthwhile development, he
says

Mass Meeting Called Today.
Drivers May Take Plea
to Roosevelt.

A mass meeting Of cab drivers to
protest against the compulsory taxicab
liability insurance bill pending in
Congress was called for o'clock this
afternoon at the Municipal Center
parking lot, 301 Constitution avenue
NV, by Mrs. Lillian Bodkin, an inde-
pendent driver who has been active in
opposing the legislation.
Mrs. Bodkin said yesterday she
hoped to organize committee Of 100
to accompany her to the White House
tomorrow morning to lay their pro-
tests before President Roosevelt.
U. +. W. Favor Bill.
Meanwhile w. S. McClaren, presi-
dent Of the United Transportation
Workers, which claims between 800
and 400 independent cab drivers as
members. placed his group on record
as heartily In favor of the bill and,
furthermore, in favor Of continuing
the same rates and zones"
The u. T. w. was formerly known
as the Industrial Brotherhood Of Taxi
cab Drivers.
Mr.. McClaren said he believed that
increased business resulting from an
anticipated reduction in the number
Of cabs If the bill is passed would
take care Of the expense of insurance
without changing rates or zones.
Action Expected This Week.
Final action on the bill, which
would require separate insurance
policy for each cab, and disallow
blanket bonds or sinking funds for
associations of cabs. was expected
early In the week by Senate and House.
Agreement on terms Of the bill was
reached by conferees last week.
The meeting today is being called
by no organized group, but was de-
scribed as spontaneous" gathering,
with approximately 1000 drivers ex-
pected to attend.
Disagreement over whether the
additional financial burden accom-
panying compulsory insurance would
require an increase in zone rates or
make necessary abandonment of cabs
by some drivers was voiced in utility
circles last week following announce
ment Of the conference report. Many
taxi drivers said they would be unable
to operate unless a boost in fare
accompanied enactment of the bill.

stated:
I'VE have no disposition to criticize
