Man Is Injured When Car
Upsets in Police Chase

A 33-year-old filling station at
tendant, who received several broken
ribs when his car overturned in a
police chase yesterday, last night
faced a possible hit-and-run driving
charge and at the same time had a
brother, critically injured in North
Carolina automobile accident, to
worry about.
According to police, the car driven
by the attendant in the chase is one
which struck that of Charles Smith
of Capitol Heights, Md, yesterday
at Third street and Adams drive
NV, and failed to remain on the
scene. A license plate, tangled in
Mr.. Smiths car bumper, provided
a clue and lookout resulted in a
6O-mile-an-hour chase on Living
ston road Sc. The chase ended
when the attendants car overturned
on curve. He was taken to Casualty
Hospital for treatment of his rib
injuries.
The injured man's~wife said that
at the time of the chase he was on
his way to Oxon Hill, Md. to get his
mother and take her to North Caro-
lima TO see another son critically
injured in an accident there.
No charges had been placed
against the man last night.

U. 5. 10 Halt Food Stamp
Plan II Banks Charge Fee

Rochester IN. " bankers yes
terday were advised by the Fed
eral Surplus Commodities Corp.
that the corporation would discon-
tinue on December l the stamp plan
of distributing surplus food among
relief families in that city if they
made effective plan to charge a
fee for handling the stamps, the
Associated Press reported.
The banks in Rochester, where
the stamps have meant over a mil
lion dollars worth of new business
a year for grocers. have proposed
to charge a fee of cents on each
IS worth of stamps they handle.
In a telegram to the bankers
Milo Perkins. president of the cor
poration. said:
I'VE feel sure that bankers in
other parts of the country will serve
the grocers of their towns as they
have been served by their banks
during the past six months in the
cities where the stamp plan has
been in operation. Most bankers
mean what they say in their adver-
tlsing They want to render a real
Service to their depositors as we'll
as to their communities. The action
which your association proposes
would work a particular hardship
upon the small independent grocer" :"

No War Boom as Yet,
Saws Mrs. Roosevelt

There is no war boom as yet in the
United States, but the Government
should take certain very decisive
measures to prevent profiteering,
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt says in
the Dear Mrs. Roosevelt Column"
of the November issue of the Demo-
cratic Digest.
Mrs. Roosevelt, in answer to a
query from a subscriber, says, "The
rise in industrial employment had
begun before the war started in Eu-
rope" She cautioned that every
individual citizen can help by mot
boarding and by making up his mind
that if certain things are going to
be scarce they are going to be scarce
for all of us" and by reporting un-
due rises in prices unaccompanied
by rises in wages to the Government.
In answer to another query Mrs.
Roosevelt says the civil liberties of
foreign-born groups should not by
all means be abridged but rather
that individual offenders seeking to
create subversive influences in this
country should be prosecuted.
To a third query Mrs. Roosevelt
answered that criticism that the
higher education system of today
does not train youth to work Is JUS

The Tippett family had big day
in print yesterday.
In one of the morning papers. con-
siderable space was devoted to w.
L. Tippett of 1880 Fourth street S.W.,
taxicab driver who has a liking
for the Redskins football team.
In an afternoon paper an account
was carried of the robbery of r. o.
Tippett, 528 Thirteenth street Sc,
also a cab driver, by two colored
men at Sixth and H streets NE,
who escaped with 81.
The same paper in another news
account told of the injuries of Mrs.
Ada Tippett, their mother, when ac-
cording to police she walked into
the side of a taxicab in the 1000
block of Vermont avenue. She was
taken to Emergency Hospital where
last night she was described as "im-
proving" She lives at AT Jeffer-

Vote Called
Reorganization
Factor
Copper Wishes
New Program Had
Provided 1t

Senator Capper of Kansas, rank
ing minority member of the Senate
District Committee, made known
last night he believes that voting
representation for District residents
in the two branches of Congress
should be considered as factor in
the proposed reorganization of the
local government.
The Kansan, who is co-author OF
pending joint resolution proposing
a constitutional amendment that
would empower Congress to grant
Washington national representation
in Congress and the opportunity to
vote in presidential elections, made
the following comment on the new
reorganization program just sub
mitted to the Commissioners by their
kitchen cabinet" of municipal Off
cials:
II wish they had included rec
ommendation for national repre-
sentation. 1 think it is highly i'm
portant to have in Congress some
one able to speak for the District
WllO WUulu hIlOW VIC llCCuo Va UilC
city and actually take part in de-
Gliding questions.
"I don't think the District ever
will get what is due it, especially re-
garding its financial needs, as long
as it is not represented.
"It is just unthinkable to me that
this National Capital of the greatest
democracy in the world should be
the only capital in which the people
are deprived of the rights of citizen
ship
The Kansas Senator said that,
aside from giving Washingtonians
voice in their local affairs, ma
tional representation would give
them the same right enjoyed by
other American citizens to take part
in the enactment of national laws,
which apply here just as they do in
the States.
Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee said yesterday he is
waiting until the residents of the
District have chance to express
themselves on the new reorganiza-
ton program at the public hearings
arranged by the Commissioners for
November q before he makes a
detailed study of the plan.

Public Housing Percentage
OF One -eiqhth Forecast

With more than 10000 low-rent
houses under construction in the
program of the United States Hous-
ing Authority, that agency forecast
yesterday that public housing would
contribute one-eighth of the total
volume of residential construction
in the country during 1899.
A recent survey indicated 475,O0O
new dwellings of all types would be
under construction by the end of
this year, including those built in
cooperation with the U. S. H. A.
The $4,000 slum-clearance dwell
ings, it was said,,~will provide di-
rect employment at the site for
about $4,000 men whose wages will
amount to $28, 100000.
In addition to the wages, the Gov
ernment-aided program will cause
expenditures totaling about $36, ,60O,-
900 for building materials.
Earlier efforts in public housing
in this country were relatively small.
About $1,000 dwelling units were
built by the Government during the
World War for military workers.
The housing division of the P. w. A..
constructed about $4,000 dwellings
during 1934-37.

Rock Creek Bridge
Bids to Be Asked

The Commissioners tomorrow will
advertise for bids from contractors
for the construction of a new bridge
over Rock Greek in the line Of Mas
sachusetts avenue NV, for which
an appropriation of $3.50, 900 is avail
able this year. Sealed offers are to
be opened December Is.
The new span, designed to elimi-
nate the present bottle-neck in the
Rock Greek and Potomac drive, is to
have a single arch $50 feet wide at
ground level. Provision will be made
for 40-foot roadway and a bride
path, as well as leaving room for
the creek believed to be ample to
avoid flooding Of the roadway.
The structure is to have an orna-
mental stone facing. The present
plan was substituted for an earlier
one calling for enlargement of the
tunnel through the high hillside.
when it was found the new arrange
ment would be much more satisfac-
tory and cost relatively little more.

Boy, "a, Kidnapped
As Thieves Steal
Truck
Freed When Vehicle
Is Abandoned After
4-MiIe Dush

Two youthful bandits unwitting-
ly ''kidnaped" a 14-year- old boy last
night when they stole a laundry
truck and held him prisoner
throughout wild 4-mile dash
through Northwest streets that end
ed when a tire blew out.
The boy, Wallace Allen, of 1402
Massachusetts, avenue NV, was left
to his own devices when the thieves
abandoned the truck Unharmed,
but frightened, he directed police
to the truck by telephone.
Wallace is a friend of the driver
of the laundry truck, William HYDE,
10. of 804 I street NV, driver for
the New System Hand Laundry at
1908 Tenth street NV. Hyde often
takes him on deliveries for COM
pany.
Boy Left i'm Truck.
About o'clock Hyde left Wallace
in the truck while he went in a
house in the 1900 block of Vermont
avenue NV When he returned,
the truck and William were gone.
He called police. who broadcast a
lookout for the stolen vehicle.
William, meanwhile. was having
the fright of his life. Doing among
clothes in the rear of the truck, he
was suddenly aware that two young
men had jumped in and were driving
off at a mad pace. He kept quiet
and hoped for the best as the ma
chine careened through the crowded
streets, narrowly missing pedestrians
and cars.
Then a tire blew out, overheated
because the thieves in their haste
had not unloosed the emergency
brake. They pulled into an alley
in the rear of the 7700 block OF
Fourteenth street NV. and one OF
them walked back into the body OF
the truck to examine their loot.
Warned to Keep Quiet.
He stumbled against Wallace, de-
manded to know what be was doing
there among the clothes and then
cautioned him to keep quiet Wallace
did, but watched as the men
changed clothing, taking a suit and
shirt apiece and few other odds
and ends.
Then they fled into the darkness
and Wallace ran to house nearby
and called police. When the officers
arrived they found a shirt left by one
of the bandits In a pocket was a
letter addressed to his mother. They
said it was a clue that would lead
to the apprehension of the thieves
Wallace was taken home by rel
atives.

Implements Of War
Are Leading Motif
OF Christmas TOYS
PIoythines Based on
Stories Also Popular;
Shipments Arrive Here

Santa Claus, with a couple of
platoons of soldiers tucked in his
vest pockets and machine gun
nest concealed in his whiskers, has
taken up his downtown post.
The old gent is little on the bel
ligerent side this year and is an
ticipating a heavy demand for the
implements of war. Santa's home
land has not yet been included in
the CASH -and-carry neutrality pro-
visions, but steps may be taken yet.
Santa arrived in the toy depart
ments of some of the downtown
stores a little early this year. Most
of the other stores expect to have
their holly in place Immediately
after Thanksgiving and the word
is going around:
shop early, for tomorrow may be
Christmas"
Pinocchio Toys Out.
A trip through the toy depart
ment of one of the stores indi-
Gates that the kids are in for a big
time this 25th of December and
that dad is going to take a slug
ging when the bill comes in.
Aside from the implements of
mock battle, the big features of this
Christmas apparently are going to
be toys based on The Wizard of
o." Snow White" and the new
Disney picture. "Pinocchio."
The Rnocchio toys are out, which
is more than the worried department
store buyers can say for the picture.
They hope it will be released before
Christmas, giving some box Office
appeal to such characters as Jimmy
Cricket, Figaro the Cat, Geppetto,
the wood carver who creates the
puppet Pinocchio; Cleo the Fish, j.
Worthington Foulfellow and the
rest.
Toys based on these movie fan
tastes now dominate the toy stores.
The sale of such old standbys as doll
dishes have fallen off and the chill
dren have turned to new types of
playthings.
One note underlying activity in the
toy department is virtual ban on
gadgets from aggressor nations.
No Toys From Germany.
Most of the stores have no toys
from Germany or Japan-even if
they could get them, they couldn't t
sell them. This has created certain
difficulties. Most of the Christmas
tree ornaments, for instance, came
from Germany.
When the boycott got under way,
stores began to buy these ornaments
from Poland. Now they don't know
what to do. The industry is small
in America and our people can't
make ornaments sd we'll for so little
money.
In the military line, much of the
stuff is coming from France and
England. The English specialize in
lead soldiers, sending over models
of German as we'll as their own

should be elevated. putting green's
should be adequately bunkered,
fairways should be outlined by
trees, and several sets of grass tees
should be provided. to be used in
rotation so that when one set is
prn another can be Immediately
ut into use. This is the method
in use at most other public golf
courses of the better type. A total
of 81 900 hole could profitably be
spent at East Potomac Park, and
amortized over five or ten years.
Mr.. Leoff1er has considerable in
vestment in golf course machinery,
which could be used in course i'm
provement. But except for some
construction on courses F and G
at East Potomac Park several years
ago, he has spent little operating
firm money in capital improve
ments at that course.
Greens Should Be Rebuilt.
Greens improvements now going
on at Rock Creek Park involve
only a few of those adamant put
ting surfaces. All of them need re-
building and rebunkering. Another
$4,000 could well be spent at Rock
Creek Park. But it should be well
spent under the direction of COM
petent architects; not wasted.
The Fort Dupont course, sched-
uled to be ready in 1941, has better
architecture-from the golf stand
point-than the present course at
Anacostia; with which Fort Dupont
eventually will be integrated. To
bring the portions of the Anacostia
course which will become part of
the new Southeast layout up to
the standard of the Fort Dupont
project many thousands of dollars
should be spent. .
1t all adds up to the fact that
the people of Washington, paying
for playing golf in the public parks,
on property leased from the Gov
ernment for a private monopoly,
deserve better golf facilities.
Whether the responsibility lies
with the National Parks Service
or with the lessee does not alter
the situation. The golf facilities
in the public parks of Washington
are below standard. And, publicly
owned, they are profit making VEN
lures for a private monopoly, oper-
ated for profit rather than for the
benefit of the golfing public.
