D. c. Auditor Asked to Pay
Expenses Out of Funds
Placed in Trust.
n. P. Photo.

Mrs. John Boyle, jr., president of
the Citizens Permanent Committee
for the Feeding and Clothing of Needy
School Children, yesterday asked Dis
trict Auditor Daniel j. Donovan to
pay bills for this months free lunch
program from funds she had placed
in trust for the lunch plan
Mrs. Boyle sent Maj. Donovan bills
for s1,982.45 for materials the COM
mittee ordered in December for use
in January.
Previously the Commissioners had
decided that this money could not be
refunded, but must be kept in the
trust fund until expended by the Dis
trict for continuation of the feeding
OF hungry school children.
On the advice of Maj. Donovan and
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal.
the Commissioners ruled Thursday
that the $2.154 balance in the fund
could not be refunded, since it had
been received from the committee as
gift" to be spent by the District
as trustee" for a specific purpose.
Not Responsible for Bills.
District officials have argued they
were not responsible for bills con-
tracted by Mrs. Boyle's committee,
no matter how much they appreciated
her service in collecting the money
from the public.
However, Maj. Donovan revealed
that he had not yet authorized the
use OF this money for continuation
OF the lunch program, and would not
until the Commissioners again could
review the situation, in view of the
demands by Mrs. Boyle for the pay
ment OF the outstanding bills.
Mrs. Boyle. in a call on reporters
at the District Building. made public
an itemized list of the bills she had
received from dairies and bakeries
to show the background of the
$1,982.45 bills she has forwarded.
Disagreement on Bills.
There still was lack Of agreement
on the exact sum. Maj. Donovan re-
ported that Mrs. Boyle had offered
bills totaling s2,133, but Mrs. Boyle
said the total amounted to but
$l.9S2.45. She showed reporters this
listing:

Further, Mrs. Boyle explained that
her committee had paid bills amount
ing to $2,587.42 for other supplies Or
dered in December and used in Janu-
ary In the lunch program.
The decision probably will turn on
the question Of whether the District
had ever authorized Mrs. Boyle's
committee to obligate funds which
were being turned over to the trust
fund under the disposition of the
Commissioners, or whether only re-
sponsible District officials could obli-
gate and expend that fund.
$500 w. p. A. Fund Authorized.
To that, Mrs. Boyle responded that
at the start Of the program in Octo-
Der, her original group, the Citizens
Emergency Committee, ordered sup
plies. until it had raised a sum of
$4,000 which it turned over to the
Districts trust fund. Those bills, ac-
cording to reports, were paid by the
District and not by the committee.
In the present issue, the bills were
paid by the committee, not by the
District. but the receipted bills have
been forwarded to the District for
collection by the citizens committee.
Meanwhile, the Commissioners re-
ceived authorization from the Federal
W. p. A. to make use Of District funds
amounting to about 5000 consisting

Funds Support Seen.

NEW YORK, Nov. % (P.-Wall
Street foreign exchange experts saw
evidence today the British equaliza-
ton fund was selling dollars here
and abroad and supporting the
pound sterling and French franc,
presumably in an effort to stem the
flow of gold from London to New
York.
The equalization fund-a huge
pool of gold and currency managed
by the British treasury to control
the international value of the pound
operates with extreme secrecy,
but exchange experts here say its
operation may be seen at times
quite clearly.
In its immediate objective the ef-
fort seen today was successful, for
the pound and franc rallied. Trad
ing in the local foreign exchange
market after the London close had
the pound at $4643s, up Ia cents
over Saturday, and the franc at
2,60as, up .01A of cent.
Future Trend Uncertain.
Foreign exchange dealers here
said they would watch with interest
to see whether British control would
continue to attempt to hold the
pound and franc at present levels.

Saturday, the United Kingdom sent
10000 900 gold to the United
States; 1862 100000 the previous

Chesapeake Holders
Vote for Dissolution
Despite Protest

Attack on Plans at

~ the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2s.-Stock-
holders of Chesapeake Corp, middle
holding company of the once vast
Van Sweringen rail systems voted
to dissolve the corporation today, in
face of unexpected and vigorous op-
position from Robert r. Young, New
York stock broker, who has battled
more than a year for control of the
Van Sweringen interests.
Young, chairman of Allegheny
Corp, top holding company of the
system which controls the valuable
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, sprang
surprise protest when he renewed
his attack on Guaranty Trust of
New York, largest stockholder in
Allegheny & Chesapeake Corps.
Previously Young had agreed to
dissolution of Chesapeake Corp, as
a step in simplifying the corporate
structure of the rail system, and to
give Allegheny Corp. direct control
OF the G. e. o.
He telegraphed directors at to-
days meeting he had lust learned
to my surprise" that Guaranty, as
trustee of Alleghany's bonds may
refuse to treat Chesapeakes future
income" as available for interest
payments on Allegheny bonds.
This position was attacked i'm
mediately by Guaranty representa-
ties at the stockholders meeting.
Frederick Schwartz of the bank
ing firm declared 'Mr. Young = y
is making a vicious and unwar-
ranted statement
Asserting Young's points "are
not new" Schwartz said Guarantys
attorneys had considered them and
still felt the dissolution plan lis
fair and in the interests Of the
(Chesapeake) stockholders and the
Allegheny bonds that Guaranty
represents"
Stockholders and proxyholders
representing 73 per cent of the
Chesapeake outstanding stock voted
unanimously to dissolve the cor
poration and reduce issued capital
stock from s74,242,040 to $l79,-

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-A rally

ling and the French franc today.
The pound at one time was up 2H
cents over Saturday at S4.651s, and
the franc up .01as of a cent at 2.60H
cents. Later, however, both curren-
cies lost part of the days gains.
While the reversal of the recent
trend was traced partly to technical
reasons, some traders also thought a
slightly more optimistic view of the
French internal situation caused

European currencies.

Three "Lost Worlds" Yield
Fine Lot of Specimens

New York.-Five American Mu-
scum of Natural History explorers
have brought back large collection
of specimens showing the close re-
lationship of birds and mammals
atop three "lost worlds" in the jun
giles of Venezuela.
Headed by DR.. George H. Tate
and backed by William Phelps, the
expedition explored 8,000-foot high
Mt. Auyantepuy in the Orinoco jun
gle, one of the least explored regions
in the world. With them on their
return they brought $500 birds and
500 mammals, plus a large collec-
ton of plants.
Museum expeditions, Of which
Doctor Tate was member, already
had visited the other two isolated
previously UNEMPLOYED mountains,
Mt. Roraima and Mt. Duida.
They spent three and a half
months atop the tableland. Unlike
many expeditions which in the past
have had to spend weeks and months
toiling to reach their detectives,
they reached Mt. Auyantepuy in a
few hours by airplane from Gu
dad Bolivar, a city in Venezuela.
Peculiar types Of vegetation found
nowhere else in the world were
found growing on the bare sandstone
or on the humus. Varieties Of or
chids were also observed.
