Research Assistants
In Schools Asked

The Commissioners have recon-
mended to Senator King OF Utah,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, legislation to set up re-
search assistants in the public
schools.
In their report yesterday the
Commissioners said regular teachers
are now doing research work which
would be done by the assistants.
They added that no additional
funds would be necessary.
The subject of research in the
schools has been a sore one on
Capitol Hill in connection with
school requests for additional teach
ers. The feeling of the House sub
committee on appropriations has
been that qualified teachers are di-
verted from classroom instruction
by such projects.
School officers have contended a
research department is essential to
the proper operation of the schools.
The Commissioners also have
recommended to Senator King bills
which would allow the Public Utili-
ties Commission to limit the num-
Der of taxicabs in the District; con-
form license dates for cabs and
sightseeing buses to the March
date for auto registration tags; and
removal of electrical meters with
more than 2 per cent error.
In connection with the taxicab
limitation the Commissioners said
the streets are now burdened with
"an excess of cabs operating and
cruising"

Rigid DC. Regulations
For Licensing Coal
Dealers Urged
Weights Superintendent
Says Bootleegars' Short
Sales $500, 900 a Year

Charging that "bootleggers" of
coal are swindling local consumers
of 100000 a year through short
weights and inferior quality. George
M. Roberts, superintendent of
weights, measures and markets,
yesterday recommended to the
Commissioners the adoption Of
rigid regulations for the licensing
Of coal dealers, agents and delivery
trucks
Mr.. Roberts, in his report to the
Commissioners, cited specific in
stances where customers were given
short weight of from 104 to 844
pounds on ton in numerous trans
actions investigated during the last
year.
Investigators often find it easier
to obtain evidence of law violation,
Mr.. Roberts said, than to identify
the offenders.
Agents working for "bootleggers"
often advertise only their telephone
numbers. In some instances regu-
larly licensed agents have rented
their trucks, bearing the proper
identification, to bootleg" salesmen.
Mr.. Roberts made his recommen-
dations after spending a week in
New York City studying the regu-
lations there for the sale Of coal,
along with enforcement methods.
The report pointed out that con-
sumers and established coal deal
ers alike are victimized by the
'bootleggers' whose competition is
unfair.

raids in the northwest section of
the city, police and Federal agents
arrested six men and woman and
charged them early today with vio-
lation of the narcotics laws.
1t. Joseph Shimon, head OF the
pickup squad, described last nights
raid as "the most successful drive
on drug peddlers in the city during
the last year"
Police officials said arrests Of mar
cotics peddlers and users, which be-
gan when the drive was initiated
last December, should result in a
substantial reduction in the number
of crimes of every nature IN the
District.
The raids early today resulted in
the confiscation of a quantity Of
narcotics and paraphernalia for
preparation and use OF the drugs.
In several instances raiders were
forced to smash through heavily
barricaded doors, and at an estab-
lishment in the 600 block Of Freed

last-minute donations today and to-
morrow. The booth at Fourteenth

Women's Bureau History
Described in Broadcast

Miss Mary Anderson, director of
the Women's Bureau at the Labor
Department since its establishment
in 1920, described the history and
purpose of the agency yesterday aft
ernoon over Station WJSV in the
234th consecutive weekly broad
cast of the Labor News Review pro-
gram.
Miss Anderson said that an en-
lightened public opinion no longer
accepts the contention that unem-
ployment is a result of the entry of
women into business and industry.
She also predicted the end of the
unfair" double wage standard under
which women make less for doing
the same work as men.

10 other cases at public hearing
before the commission Wednesday.
Several amendments to the zoning
regulations also will be considered.
The list of "a residents along

Gen. r. L. Carmichael, U. S. A.,
retired, and Charles H. Deetz, senior

the petitioners asserted that not
more than one-half of the area now
available for business in the
Eighteenth street Columbia road

purpose, and that to make addi-
tional commercial area available
