Baptists Protest Closing
Of Rumanian Churches

The Washington Baptist Minis
ters' Conference yesterday approved
the action of the Southern Baptist
Executive Committee in protesting
a decree which closed 1902 small
Baptist churches in Rumania last
week.
Copies of the protest were sent to
President Roosevelt. the State De-
partment. the Rumanian Legation
and various church groups, and
steps may be taken for a religious
picket of the Rumanian Legation,

executive secretary of the District
Baptist Association.
The ministers, meeting in Calvary
Baptist Church, were told that the
Rumanian decree closing all
churches which did not include as
many as 100 heads of households in
their congregations was discrimina-
tory in favor of the Rumanian Greek
Catholic Church.
The recent phenomenal growth OF
the Baptist church in Rumania, it
was said, has been largely in the
rural districts where small congre-
cations are the rule Membership,
despite the small group figures. in
creased from 10000 in 1920 to 10000
in 1888.
President Roosevelt was asked, in
the resolution of protest. to call on
the American Minister to Rumania

New D. {. Bankruptcy
Rules Go Into Effect

With business failures in the Ma
tional Capital now running between
100 and ITO annually. District Court
today placed in effect its new bank
ruptcy rules.
Under the new program, the
referee in bankruptcy, Fred ]. Eden,
secures additional powers.
The principal alterations in the
new rules concern the jurisdiction
of the referee in bankruptcy. Petit
tions for bankruptcy will be filed, as
heretofore, in the clerks Office at
District Court. But the new rules
declare that after a case has gen.
orally been referred to the referee
all subsequent proceedings will be
before him.
This plan is calculated to save the
time of attorneys and businessmen,
for now the confusion that here
tofore existed as to whether they
should 60 before the judge or the
referee has been wiped out, officials
said.
Recently, the new rules were
adopted by Chief Justice Alfred A.
Wheat and the nine associate justices
of District Court.
The new rules are in harmony
with the Chandler Act, which be-
came effective September %. Previ-
ously judges had exclusive juris-
diction to deny or grant discharges
in bankruptcy. but under the new
rules, effective today, the referee
will sit as court in bankruptcy,
with additional power. Mr.. Eden
said that this is expected to speed
up operations and make for a smooth
working program.

low-Rent Housing
Plan Speeded by
Signing Of Contract
Cooperation Move by
District Scheduled
To Clear Funds

The $6,6OOOOO loan contract for
a low-rent housing program in the
District having been signed yester-
day by Administrator Straus of the
United States Housing Authority,
only one step now remains to be
taken before an initial advance of
3 per cent of the loan may be paid
over to the Alley Dwelling Au-
thority.
Before this can be done, it was
said today at the A. D. A., it is
necessary to secure cooperative
agreement with the District Com
missioners and arrange for the sale
of A. D. A. notes representing its
10 per cent share of the estimated
cost of the projects.
This will be done in the shortest
time possible, no doubt, for no sur
veys of the four contemplated sites
can be made until funds are turned
over to the local agency.
Preliminary S19S,OO0 Forecast.
The advance to be made is esti-
mated at $4,000. 1t will also be
used to defray current architectural
expenses and other incidentals in
connection with the vast amount of
technical work required to shape
and plan the housing program. The
preliminary plans and estimates
submitted previously by the A. D. A.
were only rough drafts to serve as
justification for a loan.
Administrator Straus signed the
papers late yesterday, the contract
having previously been approved by
President Roosevelt and signed by
John Ihlder, executive officer of the
A. D. A. 1t was expected an ad-
vance of funds would be made
within 48 hours after formal ap-
plication is filed.
Condemnations in Prospect.
Under the terms of the contract
the A. D. A. must demoish, recon-
dition or forcibly repair an equiva-
lent number of substandard houses
in the District for new homes
erected. Cooperation of the Com
missioners is necessary in such q
program and the plans for such CO.
operation must be agreed upon ir
advance. 1t entails inspections by
various District services to deter.
mine if housing unit is to be
condemned and the amount of i'm.
provements necessary, for instance
If it is to be placed in a state o1
repair within the Interpretation o1
the law.
There also must be corporation
on the part of the District Govern.
ment in connection with possible
extension of utility services to tn.

In view of the exhaustive amour
of paper work that remains to b,
done, it is doubtful if dirt will fl,

purchased, the title to the fourth

Decision 10 Rule
On Taxing Of U.S..
Workers Welcomed
District Officials Hope
For Light on Local
Levying Power

District officials today voiced sat-
isfaction over the decision of the
United States Supreme Court to
pass on litigation to test the right
of State to collect an income tax
from employees of Federal agencies.
even though the ruling may come
too late to help them in current
studies of District tax revision.
The high court yesterday agreed
to review decision by the New
York Court of Appeals to the effect
that an attorney for the Federal
Home Owners Loan Corp. was per-
forming a Federal function and
that his salary could not be taxed
by New York State. The State had
levied its income tax against the
$2,246 salary received in 1884 by
James B. OKeefe, an H. o. L. c.
attorney.
For two or more years District
officials, residents and members of
Congress have debated whether it
would be constitutional for Con-
gress, acting as the Legislature for
the District. to adopt a local in
come tax which would be applied
against the salaries of Federal work.
ers in the District.
The issue here would be somewhat
different from the case pending
before the high court. however. some
District observers said. because the
New York law was adopted by it's
State Legislature whereas an in
come tax for the District would be
adopted by Congress.
Corporation Counsel Elwood H
Seal said he would be glad to see
additional light thrown on the is
sue, such as might be expected
from the ruling by the Supreme
Court on the OKeefe case. A
similar expression came from Mai
Daniel j. Donovan, District auditor,
who is chairman of the Commits
sioners' Tax Advisory Committee.
However, report and recon-
mendation on the survey of possible
revision of the Districts tax struc-
ture must be filed with Congress
by January Is, by the Congressional
Joint Committee on Internal Reve-
nue. Taxation. The recommenda-
tions of the Commissioners Advisory
Committee must be filed with the
congressional body before that date

Anxiety Over PIeo for
Revision of Act
Is Revealed

The petition to the District Com

prominent Capital women. asking
for revision of the Cosmetology Act

treatments, has created anxiety
among all hairdressers in WASH
ington," Mrs Julia F. Crandall,
president of the Cosmetology Board,
said today.
Mrs. Crandall and Mrs. L. F.
Cowan, executive secretary of the
board, met yesterday with Oliver M.
Gasch, assistant corporation coun-
sci. to discuss regulations and re-
quirements under the act.

Crandall said

eve know the requirements under
the act, however" Mrs. Crandall as
serted, "and we are making study
of regulations in force under similar
acts in A States in an effort to de-
termine requirements and means of
enforcement"
Mrs. Crandall said that nothing
definite had been decided and that
the board merely had submitted in
formation on local conditions to the
corporation counsels office.
The petition, which the District
Commissioners referred to the Cor
poration Counsels Office for study
and report, asserted that many
Washington beauticians are being
forced into unemployment and on
relief rolls because of regulation
in the Cosmetology Act forbidding
beauty treatments at the homes of
clients.
Former Jurist Enters Fight.
j. Harry Covington, former chief
justice of the District Supreme
Court, joined the petitioners fight
and prepared a brief attacking the
constitutionality of section II of the
act, which prohibits home treat
ment. on the ground that it is a
denial of equal protection OF the
laws.
Mrs. Cowan, commenting on the
petition, said I'VE are not trying to
put any one on relief, nor are we
trying to take work from any one.
But the law is constitutional until
it is declared otherwise"

First Parkway Unit,
From Columbia Island
To RoSs|yn, Finished
Formal Opening Likely
To Take Place Before
End Of Month

Construction of a double motor
highway in the first unit OF the
George Washington Memorial Park
way from Columbia Island to Ross
lyn, Va, was completed today, it was
announced by Corson e. Gruman,
constructors under Federal contract.
The road is ready to be submitted
to the Bureau of Public Roads and
the National Park Service for &C
ceptance within day or two, more
than month and half ahead of
schedule. 1t is not believed, how
ever. that the formal opening to traf-
fic will take place before the end Of
the month.
The contractors have completed all
the job except a little final grading
in preparation for landscape plant
ing at one or two places along the
road, it was announced. Locust
wood guard rails similar to those
along the Mount Vernon Memorial
Highway have been erected.
Opening of the parkway will make
possible the rerouting of traffic dur
ing construction of a new span at
the Virginia end of Key Bridge, pre-
liminary work on which will begin
next week. Under present plans, all
automobile traffic from Rosslyn to
the District will be sent over the
parkway to Arlington Memorial
Bridge during the Key Bridge work.
Heavy bus and truck traffic will op-
crate across Key Bridge on tenn
porary trestles at the Virginia end.
The new parkway, described as
one of the most beautiful additions
to the National Capital system of
motor parks since completion of the
Mount Venom highway, is little
more than a mile in length. At its
lower end it connects with the new
Lee boulevard link recently opened
and with the Mount Vernon high
way at the approach to Arlington
Memorial Bridge. At the upstream
end connection has been made with
the Lee highway at Rosslyn Plaza.
Construction of the new Key Bridge
span will permit underpassing of
the second unit of the parkway,
which eventually is to continue up
the Potomac River to Great Falls.
Temporary surfacing has been
laid on deep earth fill connecting
the parkway with Rosslyn Plaza
Permanent paving of this portion
will not be undertaken until the
earth has had ample time to settle
and until construction of the new
bridge arch and approaches has
been completed.
