SIDEWALK CAMERA
CASES DISMISSED
Judge Rules Photographers Who
Pass Out Cards Not Subject
to License Charges.

Sidewalk photographers who merely
snap pictures and hand cards to their
subjects cannot be charged with vend-
ing without license, Judge John P.
Mcmahon ruled in Police Court today.
A charge of obstructing the side
walk in such cases. however. received
no ruling as the court dismissed this
charge against two defendants on the
ground of insufficient evidence.
The defendants. Jack Rogoff, %, and
Louis Gold, 10, both of the Potomac
Hotel, were arrested last week on the
two charges, but Judge Mcmahon con-
tinued the case then to allow Assist
ant Corporation Counsel j. Francis
Reilly time to study law governing
such cases.
On recommendation of Mr.. Reilly.
the court today dismissed the vending
charge and followed similar action
after hearing evidence on the charge
of obstructing the sidewalk.
Judge Mcmahon explained his de-
cision does not uphold use OF side
walks by photographers. since that
charge against Rogoff and Gold was
dropped on legal technicality.

Civic groups have advocated such
cross-town service from the early
days of street car and bus rerouting
which began in 1884.
The commission also will consider
the request of the Capital Transit Co.
for extension of its Massachusetts,
avenue bus line to serve the COM
munity near Westmoreland Circle.

quest to include the question of the
cross-town service.
Complaint has been voiced that
there Is no direct transportation serv-
ice in the upper part of the city con-
Meeting Wisconsin or Connecticut

JOBLESS BENEFITS
HERE HIT $810,0DO.
Payments Amount to 25.4
Per Cent of Contributions,
Figures Reveal.

Payments for unemployment insr-
ance benefits in the District for the
frst six months Of this year amounted
to $780, 900. or asa per cent of con-
tributions, plus interest, deposited
since January !. the Social Security
Board announced today.
The balance in the unemployment
trust fund last December 81 was
$5,659,000, 1t was stated. Contribu-
tions and interest from January l to
June 80. 1888, brought the total to
$8.847,000.
Larger benefits for the District were
asked by the Washington Industrial
Union Council in statement issued
in connection with the third anniver-
sary of passage of the Social Security
Act.
Many State laws contain features
far better than those of the District"
the council said. We shall strive not
only to support what we have, but to
bring the District up to and beyond
the standards of other States"
Benefit payments for the first half
Of the year exceeded current contribu-
tions by State agencies in IL of 25
States paying benefits, the board an
nounced. Chairman Arthur j. Alt
meyer said that while this initial
period may not be typical of future
operations, there is reason for gen.
eral satisfaction with the status of
State funds. He pointed out that COM
parsons among States must be made
cautiously. because of varied factors
involved in making payments. Among
these factors. he said, are the num-
ber Of potential claims for benefits
which accumulated at the start of the
program and the rapidity with which
the administration of the State agency
was effected.
States whose payments exceeded
contributions were New Hampshire,
Oregon, Rhode Island, West Virginia,
Alabama, Arizona. Connecticut, Maine,
Maryland. Pennsylvania. Tennessee
and Utah.
