Bryant, Fenner
Still Talked
For Big Jobs
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Bv HENRY AVERIIL

Raleigh, Jan. 6.-Some pressure,
though it isn't sufficient to he classed
as particularly "high", is being
brought Cn Speaker Libby Ward to
name his two rivals for the post
Victor S. Bryant of Durham and w.
e. Fenner of Nash-as heads of the
Houses two most important commit
tees, finance and appropriations.
Both Ward and his principal adviS-
ers have been SO tight-mouthed re-
garding appointments, however, that
there appears no real basis upon
which any safe forecast can be made.
Nevertheless, there appear some,
grounds for belief that Bryant will get
substantial recognition in committee
appointments. There is hardly a
doubt that Fenner can have almost
anything he wants, but the Mash man
was so emphatic i'm denying any COM
mittee aspirations during the speak
ership fight that it may be difficult
for him now to accept either of the
two highest committee assignments.
If, however, Bryant should he nam
ed head of either finance or apprO-
priations, it will not be entirely be-
cause of love or a burning desire to
display spirit of good sportsman
ship and canlaraderie.
On the contrary quite the reverse,
according to the advice of one very
prominent Ward isacker (needless to-
say he wouldn't allow his name to be
used, who took the position that it
would be a fine thing to name the
Durham man because sit will put him
squarely on a spot most of us would
rather not be on" There are prob
ably, however, many Ward support
ers who would desire the ''spot" de-
spite the admittedly difficulty of the
Jobs.
Meanwhile, George Uzzell, of Ro-
wan, for the top judiciary committee
Craftsmanship and Clarence E. Stone
of buckingham for Roads look like
very good bets.
The House committee will not like
ly be named before Monday.

Seed License
Cut Is Urged
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Jan. 6.-Quiet through the
caucus and opening session OF the
House Representative U. S. Page,
the ''Bladen Bombshell," lost little
time thereafter in firing his first shot
'for the farmers Of North Carolina.
Yesterday he hoped up with a bill
to lower the license, tax on dealers IN
seed whose GROSS annual business is
less than $100 from the present rate
OF $40 to 81 per annum.t
He followed with motion to SUI
spend the rules and put the measure
upon its immediate passage; but aft
er objection to this course had been
voiced by such prominent represen-
ta ives from rural counties as w. W..
(Cap) Eagles, of Edgecombe, and
Bill Fenner, of Nash, he gracefully
consented to have the bill go to the
agriculture committee for considera-
',-on and report
Those unfamiliar with the Page
strategy and tactics were prone to-
comment that his first shot had turn
ed into "dud'', but those who know
him of Old expressed the opinion he
had accomplished his purpose, which
was to get before the House as early
and impressively as possible the i'm
portance of reducing the license fee
on small dealers in seed.
Commenting on the bill, Page said
that it is of prime Importance to the
farmer who in some cases now has to
"go forty miles to buy a packet of
garden Seed" The present ten dollar
levy, he explained, has driven the
hmal dealer completely out of the
seed business, and permitted only the
larger concerns to carry seed in regu-
lar stock.
At the 1887 session the license for
seed dealers was reduced from $25 to
$40, on the bids of the undenied fact
that the higher fee was not being col
:ected.

For Fort Drive
Nears Completion
Planners Announce
Progress Made on
Other Projects

Completion Of land acquisition for
the Fort drive was reported well in
sight today.
Norman G. Brown, appraiser and
associate land purchasing officer of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, told the COM
mission at its moEthly meeting that
more than 80 per cent of the acreage
needed to complete the Fort drive
has been acquired and that con-
demnation will be invoked at an
early date to acquire the remaining
area needed.
Mr.. Brown had specific reference
to the link in the drive between
Fort Totten and the District line
in the Northeast section. The drive,
when completed, will encircle the
city. traversing. parks and boule-
wards and touching at the units in

than so per cent of the area needed
for the Southwest recreation center.
adjoining the new Jefferson Junior
High School. in the two squares
bounded by Seventh, Ninth, G and
H streets SW., had been acquired
Negotiations are under way on the
remainder, with indications that
only a small number of properties
will have to be condemned, Mr.
Brown said
In connection with the Columbia
Heights recreation center at Six
teenth and Lamont streets NV,
Mr.. Brown told the commission that
as result of the commissions ap-
proval of recent acquisition today
there are only three houses re-
naming to complete the center
Steps have been taken to condemn
these three properties in the near
future.
Later in the day the commission
planned to take up developments in
the George Washington Memorial

of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
parkway. The commission also was
to hear report from John Nolen,
jr., its director of planning, on the

As Quote Loes

With total memberships tagging
more than $4,000 behind the 125 900
quota, campaign leaders in the Dis
trict Red Gross Roll Call prepared
today to keep headquarters at 1925
I street NV. open until November
in an effort to attain the goal.
The roll call closed officially today
after three weeks of intensive cam
paigning throughout the city. The
tabulation last night showed a total
enrolment of 1928. On the final
day of the 1888 drive $4,000 men,
berships had been reported.
General Chairman Edgar Morris
said this morning that tellers will
remain on duty at headquarters un-
til midnight tonight and messengers
will be available to call for reports
that cannot be made in person.
Statement Issued.
In a statement to Washington
residents last night, Mr.. Morris de-
clared
Every man and woman of the
District of Columbia should be a
member of the Red Cross. If you
have not already joined you have
that opportunity today. Take a few
minutes and give a dollar. Your
dollars alone make possible hun
dreds of thousands of hours of serv-
ice performed by trained Red Cross
volunteers in alleviating human dis
tress, preventing loss of life from ac-
cident and teaching preservation of
health and safety in home and COM
munity.
RED Cross strength is derived
solely from support of public
minded men and women who realize
the importance of its work-local
national and international. Fifty
per cent of all funds raised in the
roll call will remain here in Wash
ington to be used by the District of
Columbia Chapter for the welfare
of the people of Washington.
:" = The roll call quota this year
was determined by requests made of
the District of Columbia Chapter
for just such services. I am sure
that all Washingtonians will take
pride in making such vital humani-
tartan work possible in the coming
year."

System Survey
Results to Be Used
In Hearings on
1941 Budget

The Bureau Of the Budget soon
will make survey of the custodial
system of the public schools, results
of which will be used in the 1941
budget hearings.
Supt. Frank w. Ballou told the
Board of Education yesterday the
proposal was in line with the re-
organization of the Federal Govern
ment. The members voted to ask
the Commissioners to indicate will
lingness that the survey be made.
DR.. Ballou told the members he
understood the inquiry would begin
at once. No details of the scope
OF the survey were given.
| At the same time the members ap-
| proved request of the Police De-
partment for permission to install
an antenna station at Central High
School as part of the new two-way
radio system now being tested by
the police.
Request by MAJ. Brown.
DR.. Ballou said he had been asked
several times by Police Supt. Ernest
w. Brown about the use of the high
school as a station because of its
high position. Members were told
the police would require an antenna
and small room in the school. No
| objection. he said, was voiced by
school officers or Principal Lawrence
Hoover of Central.
An organization for the develop
ment of guidance in the senior high
schools was approved under which
advisory committees will be created,
one for the white schools and an
other for the colored divisions. These
committees will work under Assis-
tant Supt. Chester W. Holmes and
First Assistant Supt. Garnet C. Will
klnson, respectively, who will in turn
work with the principals of the vari-
GUS high schools down through
school guidance committees and
teachers to the pupil. The scope of
the program includes vocational, ed
ucatlonal and social guidance.
DisapprOved BY Teachers.
DR.. Ballou also notified the board
that 1873 of the 3,118 teachers in
the system had disapproved of the

Justice Department
To Widen Probe Of
Building Industry
Many Phases to Be
Serutinized by
Grand Jury

The Department of Justice is pre-
pairing to resume the grand jury
probe of the building industry here
along lines that presumably will
touch every phase
Announcing late yesterday that
the District is one of five cities in
which the department Is pressing
grand jury proceedings. the Attor-
ney General said the scope of the
national inquiry is directed at:
Collusion of material distributors
to fix mark-ups; forma ton by con-
tractors and subcontractors of bid
ding rings to split contracts: partici-
patton by unions in these operations
of dealers and contractors, and ac-
tivities by unions that are not their
legitimate functions. In the last
named, he specified collecting of pri-
vate graft" but added there is not
much of that"
Asked what tack the local probe
would take, he replied:
Just what I've been talking
about
10 See A. r. l.. OFFICIALS
The Attorney General said also
that he would confer today with
officials of the American Federation
of Labor, who have been critical of
the departments antitrust cam
paign, and scored the local probe
which last week brought indictment
of five officials of the Teamsters
! Union and the teamsters' local
which are charged with fomenting
strikes and boycotts on public and
private building projects to enforce
their claim to operate mobile con-
crete mixers. This work now is per-
formed by the Operating Engineers
Union, which. like the teamsters, is
an affiliate of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
The Attorney General said that
the American Federation of Labor
is anxious to cooperate with the
department in it's efforts to correct
labor abuses. and emphasized that
there is no desire to infringe on the
rights of labor.
Attorney General Murphy said
that the Nation wide building inquiry
is being pressed in the hope of cut
ting down building costs, which have
outstripped other costs since 1926.
Report Some Reductions.
"At present levels he said, about
half of the American people cannot
afford to buy or rent new houses, -
adding that much" of the higher
building costs is the result of "un-
lawful restraints" which the depart
ment is attempting to reach through
the antitrust laws. Already, he
added, Thurman Arnold, Assistant
Attorney General in charge of the
antitrust division. has reported that
the inquiry has brought about "ap-
preciable" reductions in one or two
areas.
In addition to Washington, the
scenes of present grand jury action
are Cleveland, Pittsburgh, San Fran
cisco and st. Louis, while in the next
two weeks action is contemplated in
New York and elsewhere.
The Attorney Generals announce
ment that the local probe would be
resumed was in line with the under
standing last week that the union
indictments were only the first
phase here.
