DRUG DRIVE AID
IS GIVEN POLICE

A new weapon to combat the
drug traffic in Washington was
given to police yesterday when
President Roosevelt signed a bill
undermining District narcotic
laws.
The new measure, modelled
after uniform narcotic laws in
several States, makes possession of
narcotics without a doctors pre-.
scription a crime. Police have de-
clared the new law will aid them
in stamping out the growing traf-
fic in marihuana among youths.
The President also signed a bill
amending zoning procedure here.
Under the measure Board of
zoning Adjustments, comprising
five members, will be set up with
power to depart from existing
zoning regulations if such action
is deemed necessary.
The bill also repeals the former
regulation requiring a unanimous
vote of the zoning commission t0
override a protest against 2G per
cent of property owners involved
in proposed change.
The Board of Zoning Adjust
mentS will consist of a member of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, a member
of the Zoning Commission and
three District citizens to be named
by the Commissioners.
The President signed a third
bill making slight changes in the
District of Columbia banking code.

SLUM'
RAz|NG PLANS
TO Be PUSHED
Ihlder PrOphesies
Rapid Action
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

An early beginning for a vast
program of slum reclamation and
low-rent housing construction in
the District was predicted today
by John Ihlder. executive director
of the local Alley Dwelling Au-
thority.
Action is now awaiting the
Presidents signature to a bill
passed in the closing hours Of the
Seventy-fifth Congress last week.
A $1,000,000 program Of Slum
reclamation will begin immediate
ly after the President approves
the legislation, and as soon as the
bill becomes law, Mr.. Ihlder stated,
the authority will make appllca-
ton for funds from the United
States Housing Authority for low
cost construction.
TEN MILLION AVAILABLE
Nathan Straus, administrator
of the Federal agency, has already
stated $1O,OOO,OOO will be made
available to the District for this
purpose.
1--WE hope to carry on bal
anced program involving Slum
areas and providing for low-cost
housing, Ihlder said.
Although Mr.. Ihlder would not
state specifically which areas
would be affected first, he said
the primary purpose will be to
reclaim the worst areas in the
city.
In clearing Slums, he said, the
authority will be bound to build
either on the same spot or else
where, so as not to create a hous-
ing shortage.
TO DESTROY SLUMS
"Our ultimate objective" he
said, lis to rid Washington OF
its Slums and to insure an ade-
quate supply of loW-rent houses"
Mr.. Ihlder emphasized the fact
that some of the areas which will
be cleared of slums will not be suit
able for housing development.
In the past these areas, some Of
which could readily again degen-
crate into sluns because of en-
vironment, have been developed
industrially by the authority.
II, YIpAIArs Try1oiOI1 tho hfNNIc
ing program will be developed pro-
vides for the appropriation Of
81 900. 900 annually for five years
for slum reclamation, and author
ICES the District to proceed on a
basis parallel with the States for
the borrowing of Federal funds for
LoW-coSt construction.

For Estimates

Auditor Daniel j. Donovan sent
out the call today to District de-

Death Is Cheated
In Potomac Crash
Of Outing Boat
Girls on Cruiser Are
Rescued by Heroic
Steamer Crew
BY WALTER WOOD

Tragedy stalked a merry outing
on the Potomac last night when a
young sorority girl was thrown
overheard and two others we're in
jured in boat collision six miles
below Alexandria, but death was
cheated.
Two ships, both cruise-bent, the
pleasure steamer, Potomac, and
the 50-foot cruiser, Casino, were
thrown into a panic when the
smaller craft cut directly across
the bow of the Potomac about
1O:45 o'clock last night.
Before the alarm was sounded
and while District yachtSmen and
civic leaders danced in the ball
room of the Potomac. the cry OF
man overheard" sounded. TWO
men leaped into the dark waters.
GIRL JOLTED OFF
The drowning person was Phyllis
Pagel, 10, of 1858 Monroe st: N. E.,
one of the members of the Mixed
Sorority Club" aboard the Casino,
who was knocked overheard by
the impact of the two boats.
The two men who went to her
rescue, Charles Ruffner. bartender
of the Potomac, and Raymond
Bates, of 1913 East Capitol St., an
Eastern High School graduate
aboard the Casino, tugged unsuc-
cessfully at the sinking girl.
But help came from the Potomac
crew, who averted tragedy by low
ering a lifeboat in So seconds. The
three were hauled aboard and
taken on the Potomac.
Many aboard the Potomac,
which was on a cruise sponsored
by the Fo'c'Sle Club for the Presl-
dents Cup Regatta, were unaware
of the near-tragedy until half an
hour later, when all passengers
aboard the smaller craft had been
removed to the Potomac.
CRUISE CONTINUED
AS soon as the three were res
cued from the river, the passen-
gers of the Casino, most of them
just graduated from high school,
were taken quietly aboard the Po-
tomac to staterooms.
The Potomac continued its
cruise to Mt. Vernon. Alfred
Schicht, skipper of the Casino,
sailed his damaged craft back to
the Columbia Yacht Club. Bow
planking of the Casino was stove
in and part of the cabin torn
away. Captain Schicht said he
was blinded by the searchlight of
the Potomac and was unable to
distinguish the direction in which
the larger craft was moving.
Lesser incidents featured the
accident. Ellen Horner, Beta
Chapter girl, tainted when she was
brought aboard the Potomac.
When she was revived, she said:
Somebody said we were
going to crash. Next thing I
knew they were pulling me
aboard the Potomac"
Miss Pagel, suffering from
shock, was taken home when the
boat docked. Mildred Moore, 49,,
of 1923 R st. N. w., suffering an
injured ankle, and Paul Kise, "a,
of 431 Tenth st. N. E., were
treated at Emergency Hospital.
Kise was cut on the nose.
Others aboard the cruiser were:
Patricia Mercer, Evelyn Kraft,
Pete Scrivener, Bob Woodrum,
Lucy Norris, Jeff Jeffries, Jack
Wagner, Evelyn Parks, Jack Nc
Cormick, Chester Lowe, mate of
the Casino, and Richard Lowe,
deckhand.

BAHA'I FAITH
iii COMING OF AGE
OF MANKIND

progress" Mans, knowledge, his
achievements are expressions of the
spirit in the material world. HUI
man beings from birth progress
physically until they reach matur-
ity. All material things progress to
a certain point, and then begin to
decline but with the soul there Is
no decline, its progress is limit
less. In the wide spread chaos and
the destructive forces of u civil
ization, we evidence decline, "The
Maturity of the World" and "The
Coming of Age of the Entire HUI
man Race"
Divine Revelation is orderly
continuous, progressive, not spas
modic on final. God through His
prophets has yer given humanity
the foundation upon which clvili-
zation is built.
His Holiness, the Christ said, in
accordance with the spiritual ca
pacity or the infancy of the hui
man race: 81 have many things to
say unto you, but cannot bear them
7o-. Howbeit. 3 hen He, the spirit
IT the Comforter, who is sent by
the father, is come. He will guide
you unto all truth
The teachings of Baha'u'llah
have the same basic principles, but
according to the stage of maturity
ef the world. End requirements Of
this age. Baha'ullah's New World
Order plan is rooted in the cond' p
tions and needs Of the world as
they actually exist.
Transportation and communica-
ton make the oneness Of mankind,
and universal peace, from the
standpoint Of reason and science
both practical and possible. The
fact that difficulties in one part of
the world are felt throughout the
world and that all kinds of pre-
JUDGES are not based on facts, and
that prejudices retard progress,
hence the need for the abolition Of
pr%eiudices.
In a matured wowrld man must
now become imued with new vir-
Tues and power. new moral stand

b~acing attitudes Il fill the require
