Hearings on 0verton
Plan Await Readiness
Of Civic Organizations
Groups to Be Given
Time to Prepare Fiscal
Relations Views

The special Senate subcommittee
appointed yesterday to study the
Overton fiscal relations plan will
give local civic organizations time to
prepare their views on the measure
before fixing date for public hear
ings.

District Committee completed the
roster of the subcommittee by desig-
mating four members to serve with

Tydings on Committee.
The other members are:
Senators Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland; Clark, Democrat, of
Idaho; Austin, Republican, of Yer
mont, and Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire.
Drafted by Senator Overton, the
bill proposes to abandon the arbi-
trary lump-Sum Federal payment
Congress has been making annually
for Is years and return to a definite
percentage basis of arriving at the
national obligation toward the
Capital.
Based on Federal Land,
Senator Overton is proposing that
the Federal Governments definite
proportion be based on the per-
centage of land area of the city it
uses, plus half the park area, which
is the excess of park area here over
comparable cities.
On this basis the Federal acreage
at present would be 20 per cent of
the entire land area and APPLYING
that to the general fund require
ments for next year would make the
Federal share $8,O15, $3.50, instead of
the existing lump sum of $5 900 900.
Senator Overton has been working
on solution of the fiscal relations
problem since he was made chair
man two months ago of the District
Subcommittee of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee.

Sidewalk Superintendents Club
Formed to See Building Rise
Doctors Hospital Issues Cards
To Members, Giving Kibitzers Rights

To help satisfy that universal
fascination which a new building
under construction seems to have
for hordes of passers-by the first
Sidewalk Superintendents' Club in
the National Capital was opened to
the public today by Doctors Hos
pital at 1923 street NV.
With membership cards-no dues,
but plenty of rights and privileges
for the kibitzers who love to look
at workmen putting up new build
ing-the club was formally dedicat-
ed shortly after noon.
Judge Charles Wilbert Berry,
formerly Of the Veterans Admins
tration, retired justice of County
Court. Auburn, N Y. was officially
installed as president of the club He
received the gavel of Office from DR..
Oscar B. Hunter. who is secretary
Of both Doctors Hospital and of the
club. Judge Berry, who resides at
900 Nineteenth street NV, over
looking the site, characterized the
hospital as a monument to the
medical profession and the progress
1t has made in the last 20 years"
Other officers of the club includ-
ed: John H. Clapp, a director Of
the Washington Loan e. Trust Co.,
first vice president; DR.. Edward L..
Morrison. second vice president; DR..
James Alexander Lyon, third vice
president: DR.. Charles w. Hyde,
treasurer, and DR.. Frances G. Spei-
del, artist.
The new club, the first of its
kind ever launched here, is be-
lieved by it's sponsors to be the Sec
ond of its kind in the world-follow-
ing one in New York City at Rock
efeller's Radio City.
Special Leaning Rail.
But the Sidewalk Superintend-
ents' Club here plans to be more
elaborate even than the one in New
York. 1t starts today with gayly
decorated booth, sheltered from the
weather, with a leaning rail just the
right height for elbow support. Al
ready many curious passers-by have
exercised the privileges made avail
able by this booth and have stood
for long periods watching the prog
ress of Doctors Hospital, rising
between the two Medical Buildings
on I street.
But as summer comes, more facili-
ties will be made available for the
club. atop the new Medical Center
Parking" opposite side of I street.
| On the roof of this open-air auto
mobile parking building there will be
established later on a more elabo-
rate place for club members. It will
be equipped with elevated seats from
which it will be easier OF watch the
hospital as it rises higher in the air.
This high eminence will prevent, it
is believed, the strain which might
result from meek craning" below.
Either Shade or Shine.
AS the weather gets hotter, it is
planned to furnish club members on
the roof of the Medical Center Park
ing their choice of either plenty of
healthy sunshine in the open air-or
if they desire, shsde under wide
spreading and brightly colored beach
umbrellas.
There is much more to the Side
walk Superintendent Club than
just the two places from which to
watch the new building go up.
There will be numbered member
ship cards. These already have been
printed for members of the new
Sidewalk Superintendents' Club.
They may be had from Doctors
Hospital by sending in application

Kennedy Would Spare
Library 5etup if
Efficiency Is Shown
Announces Willingness
To Drop Part Of
Griffenhoeen Plan

Chairman Kennedy of the special
subcommittee of the House District
Committee in charge of the Griffen-
hagen plan for reorganizing the
municipal government, announced
today he would be willing to aban-
don the proposal to alter the ad-
ministrative setup of the Public
Library system If convincing evil
dence' is produced to show that the
change would not increase eff
cheney.
Several days ago Representative
Kennedy made a similar statement
with respect to the Board of Edu-
cation, which would be abolished
under the Griffenhagen plan.
The present Board of Trustees of
the Public Library also would be
scrapped if the Griffenhagen recon-
mendations are carried out and an
advisory committee substituted to
assist proposed director of libraries
shape policies for the library system.
Would Spare Efficient Agencies.
There is no intention on my part
to discard any agency of the Dis
trict government that is operating
efficiently and economically and will
fit in with the modernization plan,' u
declared Mr.. Kennedy.
Il am willing to allow both the
School Board and the Board of
Library Trustees to remain inde-
pendent boards under the proposed
new setup. If the opponents of the
changes recommended in the Grif-
fenhagen plan can show me good
reason why the School Board and
the Board of Library Trustees should
not be abolished, I will agree with
them"
Wants Efficient Machine.
Mr.. Kennedy also reiterated his
sole object in pushing the reorgani-
zation plan is to give the District an
efficient, modern municipal machine
Il do hope" he again declared,
that opponents of certain features
of the Griffenhagen plan will not
attempt to destroy the entire pro-
gram. Adoption of even so or 10
per cent of the plan outlined in the
Griffenhagen report, I believe, will
improve the present form of the
municipal government and save tax
payers several hundred thousand
dollars or more each year."
Mr.. Kennedy's subcommittee will
meet Tuesday to fix date for pub
lie hearings on the reorganization
program.
70 Cities Boards Independent.
Twenty mine cities with city man.
ayers have responded to a survey
with the information that their
Boards of Education are completely
independent of the city manager,
Henry I. Quinn, former president of
the District Bar Association, said
last night.
Mr.. Quinn, who resigned from the
Board Of Education, effective March
l, to concentrate his energies against
the Griffenhagen report, last night
carried his fight against its pro-
visions relating to the abolition of
the board to the Central Business
Mems Association meeting in the
New Colonial Hotel.
He told the group of the survey
being made of school board city
manager relationships in some so
cities and pointed out that in the
% to respond so far the School
Board is independent in every case.
Mr.. Quinn said he approved many
of the changes proposed in the re-
organization plan, but was opposed
to disturbing the Board of Library
Trustees.

WHEN IS A VEGETABLE
Philadelphia Record)

IT tlllduetpilId heNOIuJ
 A Baltimore court has decided that an onion is a fruit and not a vegetable.
 Defending a woman arrested for selling an onion on Sunday, the bench took the view that "it is matter af taste whether or not onions may be prepared as a dessert. I have known persons who would rather eat pickled onion than a bonbon."
 Yet an onion may be neither fruit nor vegetable but a flower, a member of the lily family Gal Hum cepa, if you prefer), and it does have small white flowers. What we eat is the bulb.
 But wait, An onion is 87.6 per cent water, which seems to make it more of liquid than anything.

USE YOUR BRAINS SAVE YOUR PROPERTY

"A match has a head but no brains. When you use its head use your brains!"
 That's good advice for every person in this broad land of ours adult as well as child. For match es and smoking, according to the National Board of Fire Un- derwriters, causes three times as many fires as any other known cause They are responsible for four times as many fires as over heated chimneys and f1ues; and almost six times as many as light ming.
 Putting it another way, match es and smoking cause 27 per cent of all fires of known cauSe-and fires of known cause comprise 83 per cent of the total. That means that misuse of matches is respon sible for the burning to death of thousands of people every year-to say nothing of property destruction running into the tens of millions.
 The tragic phase of this is that every fire caused by a match or by smoking material is prevent able fire. There is no excuse for going to sleep in bed with a cig arctic in your hand-but people do it continually, and a great many of them never again walk en in this world. Nothing is cas- ier than to stamp out a cigarette or cigar butt when you are finish ed with it, or to properly dis pose of the ashes from a pipe but each year there are untold instances where this isn't done and in some thousands of those instances, fires, great or small, re suit. It certainly does not call for any great effort to dispose of your matches and cigarettes in the ash tray in your car, instead of throwing them out of the win doW-but millions of acres of ray aged land that once bore mag niticent timber, offer mute testi- mony to how many times this simple smoking precaution is for gotten.
 Smoke If you will-but don't forget the obligation every smok CT owes to everyone else-and that is to be ever watchful of what happens to smoking mater
