the plan should be amended to pro-
vide that the Office of recorder of
deeds should be brought under the
jurisdiction of the Board of Com
missioners and probably placed in
the Office of the District surveyor,

ing of documents He also con-
tended there was no need for the
creation of a new department of
public works and insisted that the
Engineer Commissioner should re-
main in direct charge of the en-
gineer services OF the District.
The Kitchen cabinet" already has
amended its own plan in this regard
so that the Engineer Commissioner
would head the Engineer Depart
ment, which would be called the
public works department.
The Seal plan, DR.. Havenner
noted provides that a half dozen
officials should be made directors of
some of the proposed departments
in the new lineup He held this
might prove to be very dangerous"
on the ground that it would give
the appointing power to Congress
whereas it should remain vested in
the Board of Commissioners. He
did not object to the suggestion that
Auditor Daniel J. Donovan be made
finance director, but he held such
decision has no place in a pro-
posed organic act for the District.

Fiqht 10 Outlaw Poll Taxes
Possibility, Keller Warns
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Keller, Democrat,
Of Illinois, expressed belief yesterday
that If Southern conservative men,
bers of the party continued to op-
pose the New Deal social legislation
they would stir up determined con-
gressional and court fights to out
law poll taxes.
Mr.. Keller said he was convinced
that poll taxes were unconstitutional.
IF these deep-Southers keep on
trying to nullify such laws as the
Wagner Labor Relations Act and
the Wage-Ho Law Mr.. Keller
declared, they are going to bring
an anti-poll tax drive upon them
selves. And they'll get the worst
trimming of their lives
Mr.. Keller said the current inves-
tigation of the National Labor Re-
lations Board by a special House
committee headed by Representa-
tive Smith, Democrat, of Virginia
! was one example of the Southern
opposition to which he referred.
The Illinois Representative ac-
cused the Smith Committee of but
ting in" on the jurisdiction of the
regular House Labor Committee, OF
which he is member, but said he
hoped the former would give the
country both sides of the picture.
He said, however, indications die
not point in that direction, adding
it seemed apparent" that the in.
vestigating committee had invited
foes of the Labor Board to air Their
complaints but had done nothing
about giving the other side a chance
