D. c. Legislation
CONTINUED From First Page )

the law relating to control of COM
municable and contagious diseases.
2. A bill clarifying the law regu-
lating real estate brokers and sales
men.
3. A bill extending from 80 to so
days the period in which oil COM
panies shall make payments to the
District for the sale of gasoline.
4. A bill authorizing examinations
for issuance of licenses to those who
want to practice the healing arts at
any time in the year.
Final action on these five bills was
taken by the House several hours
before the adjournment vote at the
request Of Chairman Randolph of
the District Committee.
In the meantime, Representative
Shafer, Republican of Wisconsin,
went to the House floor and charged
that the Commissioners are failing
to cooperate with the District AL
cohol Beverage Control Board in
enforcement of liquor regulations.
'Hamstrung," He Says.
Mr.. Shafer, a member Of the Dis
trict Committee, said the A. B. C..
Board is trying to do good job"
but is being "hamstrung" by the
Commissioners He further declared
the attitude of the Commissioners
has created feeling of contempt"
on the part of liquor dealers for any
regulations the board promulgates.
Unless there is change in this
situation. he predicted, a dispensary
system for handling liquor would be
substituted for the present system
at the next session of Congress.
Mr.. Shafer said that steps must
be taken to prevent the use of big,
glaring electric signs" to advertise
liquor as we'll as the display adver-
tisements in newspapers announcing
"cut-rate" sales at various stores.
Some of the major bills passed at
the session of Congress just closed
include:
l. To authorize the Federal Gov
Cl AullCllC w 1uI 1lOll VIC
central heating plant to the District
Building.
2. To provide for the widening Of
Wisconsin avenue in the vicinity Of
Mount Alto Hospital.
3. To give police in Maryland and
Virginia authority to pursue into the
District criminals or suspected
criminals.
4. To alter lunacy proceedings in
the District as a means of facili-
tating the transfer of suspected
lunacy patients from Gallinger to
st. Elizabeth's Hospital
S. To prevent the Commissioners
from using any portion of the Farm
ers' Market site in Southwest WASH
ington for any other purpose.
s. To change the adoption pro-
ceedings in the District.
Aside from the presidential veto Of
the flve-day week bill for firemen,
Mr.. Roosevelt also opposed a bill
passed by Congress which would
have relieved the American Friends
Society of paying taxation on its
property in the District.
Another bill the President vetoed
would have prohibited purchase Of
beer on credit by retail dealers.

Nicholson Takes
Rap al Opponents
OF Lending Bill
In Weekly Column,
He Lists Hutch Law
As 6. o. P. Victory
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Charles Nicholson, publicity di-
rector for the Democratic National
Committee, said last night some re-
cent incidents appeared to suggest
that the Republican minority in
Congress was running things.
In his weekly column, issued as
the legislators headed homeward,
he recorded as Republican victory
the passage of the Hatch bill, curb
ing political activities of most Fed
eral employees, and said Republicans
and "anti-administration forces
generally" had fought the admins
tration's big lending bill simply be-
cause it was President Roosevelt's
program.
Saying every Republican news
paper hailed passage of the Hatch
measure with tributes to the patri-
otism and general virtue of the
Democrats who voted Republican" "
Mr.. Nicholson added:
when these same Democrats
have voted for the Presidents poll
cies, they have been described as
spineless rubber stamps"
He declared it was a safe bet that
when and If ever the Republicans
win Congress there will be no equiv
alent Of the Hatch bill In the pic
ture."
The Democratic publicist said
various anti-administration legisla-
tors had suggested that only by
curbing Federal expenditures and
lowering taxes could business be
helped.
This was rather puzzling, he con-
tinued, when 1t is realized that
Congress lifted the total appropria-
tions above what the President
asked by about billion dollars"
Mr.. Nicholson said the merits of
the Presidents plan "for making
loans to business" and financing
self -liquidating projects" had little
to do with that measures course.

Senator Copper Quietly Aids Crippled Children;
Konson Leases Park for Annual Parties
Champion Of District
Legislation Has Been
In Congress 20 Years
By I. A. 0IEARY.

Fourteen thousand happy boys and
girls crowded into an amusement
park out in Topeka, Kans, to romp
and play with the boundless energy
of childhood.
In Washington that day-July H.
the veteran Senior Senator from
Kansas, Arthur Capper, went about
his duties, wishing the legislative
program had made it possible for
him to join in that picnic, for it was
his birthday party.
For many years the unassuming,
popular Kansan, who has no children
of his own, has made that day joy
GUS one for the youngsters of his
native State, by leasing the park and
throwing open the gates to them.
The Capper birthday party has be-
come an institution in Kansas, but
not many know what he has done
quietly, through the years, for hun
dreds of crippled children, to help
them to walk again.
These incidents reflect the char
acter of q sincere, kind-hearted
mid-Westerner, who has just COM
pleted 20 years of service in the dual
role of national lawmaker and city
councilman for Washington.
PropOnent Of Action.
In both capacities he has DEM
onstrated that action rather than
words make an effective legislator.
In the Senate galleries you will sell
dom hear him talk. But in the COM
mittee rooms, where legislation is
written, he has accomplished much,
both nationally and for the District
of Columbia.
In recent years great strides have
been made in rounding out the park
