The House tomorrow will name
its conferees on the 1941 District
appropriation bill calling for about
$40 500, 900 to operate the municipal
government in the new fiscal year
beginning July /. The Senate con-
ference managers were appointed

izing the local unemployment COM
pensation law. In view of the 1ecent
agreement between representatives

Appointment of House conferees
on the appropriation bill will pave
the way for conferences with the
Senate managers at which efforts
will be made to iron out the differ
ences between the two houses. Al
together, the Senate made more
than 100 changes in the bill as it
passed the House.
Representative Caldwell. Demo-
crat, of Florida, who as chairman
OF the House Subcommittee in
charge OF the District appropriation
bill probably will head the House
conference managers. has indicated
he is anxious to finish work on the
measure as soon as possible. The

Committee.
Would Issue Bonds.
The Nichols bill would set up a
National Stadium Authority with
power to issue bonds to finance the
huge sports and recreational CEN
ter. 1t also authorizes the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. to buy the
bonds. Mr.. Nichols, however, has
not yet decided on the amount of
the bond issue-a detail he plans
to include in the revised version
of his original bill.
Like Mr.. Randolph's bill, the
Nichols measure envisions the hold
ing of the international Olympic
games in Washington. The pur-
pose, according to the title of the
measure is "in the interest of pro-
noting wholesome competitive ath-
letic development of national and
international importance and to the
END that better relations and ever

Grass Trespassers
Arrests TO Begin
Tomorrow
Minimum Collateral
Of 81 to Be Set
For Vio!utors

United States Park Police tomor-
row morning will begin arresting all
persons caught in the act of taking
shortcuts across grassy park areas
in Washington.
This action will be taken or direct
orders from Secretary of the In
terror Ickes, who has been super
vising a keep off the grass" cam
paign since early last month.
Park police sent word yesterday
to all precincts of the Metropolitan
Police Department that the arrests
would start, that offenses would be
prosecuted and that minimum COL
lateral would be 81. Violators will
be booked at the precincts.
1t was learned yesterday that
parks officials have conferred with
the Police Court judges during the
last week. They requested cases
of offenders brought into court not
be passed over lightly on the theory
that grass trespassing is a petty
offense. Indications were that the
judges agreed to cooperate.
Parks officials estimate that it
takes $4,000 Of local taxpayers
money to re-seed and re-sod the
hard packed paths which criss-
cross the Mall, Washington Monu-
ment Grounds, South Interior
Square, Ellipse and other park areas
in downtown Washington.
Throughout the drive parks off,
cials have stressed that they OBJ
ject only to such walking on the
grass as tends to wear unsightly
hard-packed paths. Use of the grass
for occasional strolls, squirrel feed
ing, sitting in the shade and other
activities of a park recreational ma
ture are not to be discouraged, they
have said.
1t is the offenders who cut across
park grass areas merely to get
from .one place to another by the
shortest route that are to be prose-
cuted, parks officials said yesterday

havoc with the science of geneal-

principal losses, If Germany in

Tombstones, it seems, are main

Also the possible loss of valu-
