Some More Leglslation
To Be Attempted for D. G.

The proposal to build . Gov
ernment auditorium on q site at
John Marshall place and Penn
sylvania avenue Is to be renewed
by Senator Connally Of Texas.
The cost would be borne by the
United States. but the District
would be required to donate the
site.
The A. B. G. Board proposes to
increase the license fee on or
sale liquor stores. This It is esti-
mated would produce . substan-
tial increase in revenue.
Another proposal would make
optional vaccination or innocu-
lation as . requirement for ad-
mission to the public schools.
Senator Gibson Of Vermont
proposes . subway and traflc
survey for the District, and Rep
resentative Rankin proposes an
inquiry into the District Of Co.

ion to the T. v. A. level. This Is

character Is petitioning Congress

ly In the interest Of obtaining the

clClzenS 10 sue ana be sued In the
courts Of the United States as
possessed by the citizens Of .
State. The resolutions were re-
ferred to the Committees on the
Judiciary Of the House. Passage
by two-thirds vote Of the houses
and ratification by three-fourths
OF the States is required to 30
amend the Constitution and give
Congress the authority sought,
The Randolph joint resolution,
which proposes an amendment
granting suffrage and representa-
tion was introduced In the House
by Representative Jennings RAN
dolph, Democrat, Of West Vir-
ginia. the new chairman Of
the House District Committee,
and also has been referred to the
House Committee on the Judi
ciary. This resolution, proposed
by the District Suffrage Associa-
ton. would give the District .
republican form of local govern
ment and also voting representa-
ton In both House and Senate.
The Randolph resolution does not
cover the provision as to access
Tor District citizens to the Fed
eral courts. It is expected that
Senator J. Hamilton Lewis,
Democrat, Of illinois will intro
duce this form Of resolution in
the Senate.
Extensive hearings were held
on both the Norton and the RAN
dolph resolutions by the House
Committee on the Judiciary last
May, but 1t was too late In the
session to obtain committee &C.
ton. Leaders are to press for
favorable action early In the ses-
sion either on the record made
by the advocates at the recent
hearing or through . new hear.
ing, II that be required. The
course to be followed is expect
ed to depend to . large extent on
the percentage Of turnover In
membership Of the Judiciary
Committee.
The hearing by the House
Committee last May was the
fourth held by that body on .
d. G. national representation
proposal. The committee has
never made a report on the pro-
posal. Two hearings have been
held by the Senate Committee
on the District Of Columbia and q
strong favorable report was made
to the Senate in 1922. This re-
port was reamrmed in q later
Congress without further hear.
Ing but with the understanding
that the proposal would 90 to
the Committee on the Judiciary.
The matter has never been con-
sidered by the latter committee
nor . hearing held.
Voting representation for the
District Of Columbia In the coun-
ellis Of the Nation is given first
place in the local civic needs as
seen by practically all Of the
civic, trade, labor and other
groups that are working for
Washington. They regard it is
their right as American citizens
to have q part in the settlement
OF the problems of the Nation
and their own community. In
this position they were sustained
by the large vote for national
representation In the unofncial
referendum last spring. This
Is considered the Districts KEY
problem which will unlock many
lesser problems which are long
overdue for solution.

New Search for Formula
To Insure Fiscal Equity.

The interest Of Senator John
N. Overton, Democrat, Of Louisi-
ana in finding q new formula
which will insure an equitable
and workable division of the
financial burden Of the National
Capital between the United
States and the District of Colum-
bia has inspired the civic groups
with q new hope. There are in
dications that the old defeatist
attitude Of the past several years
viii give way to optimism and
that tho outcome will be con-
structive suggestions which may
prove helpful.
The tentative plan Of the sena.
tor, which is being studied Is to
ascertain tho percentage Of the
area Of the land owned by tho
Omitted States, except streets, and
the excess area Of the District
parks over what 1t would be In an
ordinary city Of the size Of WASH
ington and that such percentage
be applied as the share of the
District budget to be borne by
the Government. This idea Is
based on the theory that such
Federal payment would be the
equivalent Of taxation on the
Governments real estate hold
tngs.
Studies Of the fiscal problem
show that there are other factors
than that Of the real estate hold.

RANGERS LOST TOUCH ICE TEST
 WITH BOSTON
Bruins Won 2=l; Toronto, Montreal Score Shut
 outs
Ry United PreSSl

Boston, Toronto ( Montreal led the ice-hockey world series today while New York's Rangers and Am orleans and the Detroit Red Wings prepared to resume hostilities to- morrow night.
 Boston's National League cham pion Bruins battled the Rangers nearly two hours before thew won 2-1, but Canadian contenders for the Stanley cup scored shutouts. Toronto's Maple Leafs blanked the Americans 40, while Montreals Canadiens closed out the Red Wings 20.
 Mel Hill was the hero of the Bos- ton triumph, his lightning goal bearing the Rangers with only 36 seconds remaining in the thir, 20- minute overtime period.
 It was a tight defensive battle, both teams neglecting their usual streamlined attacks. Alex Shibicky, lanky rangers wing, started the scoring with a hard-angled shot at 1877. Passes from Babe Pratt and Neil Colville set up the play.
 Bobby Bauer apparently scored for Boston early in the third, but Referee Mickey Ion, knocked over the boards when Murray Patrick of the Rangers checked Milt Schmidt, didn't see the play and disallowed the goal. A few minutes later, the Bruins evened up the count with a power play that sent Dit Clarper, Roy Conacher and Bill CoWley down the ice, Cowley scoring.
 Tight Defense
 Then a tight defensive battle be- gan that lasted almost through three extra periods before the break came. Cowley rifled a pass to Hill who half-turned and lefted the puck past Goalie Dave Kerr, who had resumed play after 10 minutes off the ice for treatment of shoulder bruise.
 This best of seven series to de- eide one of the finaliSts will be resumed in Boston tomorrow night.
 Toronto had a fairly easy time in beating the Americans, who played without their regular goalie, Erl Robertson, who is injured. His sub- stitute, Allie Moore, tried courage ously, but was no match for the fast skating Leaf forwards. Kelly, Lan- gelle, Apps and Drillon counted for Toronto, while Goalie Turk Broda kept the Leaf net inviolate.
 Montreal, winner of sixth cnd last place in the playoffS, surprised the Red Wings with a tight defense while Toe Blake, league leading scorer, and Louis Trudel pumped home second period goals. Jr Les Canadiens' nets was Claude Borque, a neophyte to cup play and only one season out of the senior anna teur ranks. He electrified he crowd with saves that bordered on the

 Tampa, Fla, March 22-Putting the sports shot around the grape fruit league:
 The question on everybody's tongue in Florida is, "is the iron horse cracking up?". Lou Geh- rigs spring form is the worst he's ever demonstrated in the 16 seasons he's been with the Yankees :. he can't get off a dime around first base and he's been looking feeble at the plate :.
