Senate Subcommittee
Postpones Action on
More District Police
O'Mohoney indicates
Sc Report Will Be Made
On Bill in q Few Days

The Senate Appropriations Sub
committee in charge of District
appropriations, taking up today a
House-approved bill authorizing 100
more Metropolitan Policemen, heard
from District officials an urgent plea
for the legislation as a measure of
protection for the citizens of WASH
ington.
At the close of an executive ses-
sion, Chairman O,Mahoney an
nounced that final action had been
| deferred by the subcommittee but
he indicated a report probably would
be made in few days.
The additional policemen were
urged by Representative Cochran,
Democrat, of Missouri, who sup
ported the measure in the House;
Commissioner Charles w. Kutz,
Acting Supt. Of Police Edward J..
Kelly and Walter Fowler, District
budget officer.
Kelly Recites Need for Men.
Inspector Kelly told the Subcom-
mittee that the additional police
men, are essential to patrol the city
efficiently. The department lacks
sufficient men to cope with the grow
ing crime problem of city which
has grown enormously in the last
couple of years. he emphasized.
The acting superintendent, soon
to become permanent police chief,
cited as an illustration that between
4 pm. and midnight daily there are
only 1873 officers to patrol the entire
District. Some foot patrol beats
are SO long, he added, that the
patrolmen could pass a given spot
only once during his tour of duty.
Good police practice requires po-
liceman to patrol his entire beat six
of seven times, he said. Inspector
Kelly asked for foot patrolmen in
addition to the scout cars which the
department has in use.
The growingly complex traffic
problem also was discussed briefly at
the meeting.
Bill Passed by House.
A separate bill to increase the
police force passed the House sew
eral llonths ago and is awaiting
action. Representative Cochran had
the same item included in the lease
lend measure to expedite decision,
but the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee yesterday eliminated it from
the lease lend bill.
Today's meeting was the first
Senator O'Mahoney has had oc-
casion to conduct since he succeeded
Senator Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana in charge of District ap-
preparations in the Senate. Senator
Overton took over the Craftsmanship
of the Subcommittee on Naval Ap-
propriations after the elevation of
former Senator Byrnes of South
Carolina to the Supreme Court.

Senote Unit Approves
Smith for Federal Judqe
Ry the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
A Senate judiciary subcommittee
unanimously recommended today
the confirmation of Representative
Smith, Democrat, of Connecticut as
judge in the United States District
Court of Connecticut.
Urging that the nomination be
confirmed Immediately, Senator
Danaher, Republican, of Connect
cut, chairman of the subcommittee
considering the nomination, pre-
dicted unanimous approval of Mr..
Smiths appointment at meeting
of the full committee Monday and
stated that the Senate would con-
slider the nomination early next
week.

Gayefy Wins on Priorities,
Gets Rope, Show Goes On

The show must go on, come ma
tional emergency, defense or war
even the burlesque show with its
fan dancers, strip teasers and what
not.
Manager Jimmy Lake of WASH
ington's Gayety has an order to
prove it.
1t seems that a couple of weeks
ago Mr.. Lake discovered that some
OF the ropes which work the curtain
and props at his theater were wear
ing thin. He called Lawrence E.
Williams, official of a hardware firm,
10 order new ones. Mr.. Williams
told him he couldn't let him have
the rope because frst-grade Manila
hemp is quite scarce and the O.P.M,
had placed it near the top of their
critical materials list.
Mr.. Lake needed first-grade rope.
Tor without it a prop might come
crashing down on the head of an
unsuSpecting strip teaser and he
would be faced with big law suit.
He went to work on the O.P.M
Mr.. Lake got his rope. The effect
OF the o. P. M. ruling is presumably
that the Gayety is necessary to ma
tional defense!

Rush-Hour LOADING
And Standing Ban
Slated for Nov. a
Commissioners Approve
Regulation; Parking Fine
Stepup Being Drown

Effective date of the order yeSter-
day of the Commissioners to free
traffic movement during morning
and evening rush hours on sections
of 80 major arteries probably will
be week from Tuesday, District
officials said today.
Legal notice of the approved ban
on loading or unloading or the
standing" of commercial or private
vehicles during rush hours on the
80 highways is scheduled to be pub
lished tomorrow and, under the
Districts system, the rule would be-
come effective 10 days thereafter,
or November 4.
Drafting New Parking Penalty.
Meanwhile, the Office of Corpora
ton Counsel Richmond B. Keech
was set to work today to draft a
new regulation for a substantial
boost in penalties for overtime and
double parking, probably from the
present usual 50 minimum collateral
to SIS. 1t is expected the advice of
judges of Police and Traffic Courts
and police officials will be invited
before the rule finally is changed
This move, urged recently by Com
missioner Guy Mason, was regarded
as a companion to the order to ban
loading, unloading or Standing"
including double parking, on major
arteries in rush hours.
The new rush-hour ban to be ap-
piled to the major arteries was
adopted by the Commissioners
shortly after noon yesterday within
a few minutes after the conclusion
of a two-hour conference with or
ganized business groups and munic-
ipal traffic and highway officials.
No change was made in the plan
tentatively approved October 16, ex-
cept that a portion of one additional
artery was added, that being Third
street NV. between Constitution
and New Jersey avenues.
Given Merchants Approval.
The new ban on rush-hour use of
the specified 80 arteries was adopted
with the approval by spokesmen for
WaShington'S organized merchants,
given somewhat hesitatingly since,
while they agreed action was needed,
they cited % reasons why difficulties
and inconvenience would result.
Some merchant spokesmen went
so far as to declare the rule would
mean changes in hours of deliveries,
complications with union and Inter-
state Commerce Commission rules,
both of which would mean added
costs which would have to be passed
along to the consumer, where pos
sible. If the added costs could not
be passed along, it was argued,
some concerns might be forced to
fold up"
But the city heads concluded
present traffic congestion conditions
demanded action, in the interest of
the public generally, and they
promptly oYdered action.

No. 1 warmonger' who had done a
right about face" Representative
Lambertson, Republican, of Kansas,

as the leader of Republican thought" !"
Representative Lambertson said.
Mr.. Willkie has reached eminence
as a privte citizen The voters of
the Nation saw fit to continue him
in that capacity. He cannot commit
the Republican party. Nor can he

Substitute A. D. A. Bill
FavorabIy Reported
To District Group
All Witnesses at Hearing
=
. Support Meosure -
Sponsored by Randolph

After a hearing this morning the
substitute Alley Dwelling Authority
bill, sponsored by Chairman Ran
dolph of the House District Com
mittee, was favorably reported to
the full District Committee by a
subcommittee headed by Represent
ative Maciora, Democrat, of Con-
necticut.
All witnesses spoke in favor of the
bill, which broadens the authority
of the A D. A.. permits it to borrow
money to continue its slum-clear-
ance campaign and to take out in
Surance to protect the Authority
against loss, protects employees of
the Authority from having their
wages garnisheed or subject to other
legal process and provides for paying
expenses incurred in driving private
automobiles on Office business at the
rate of cents mile.
Among those who spoke in favor of
the bill were John Ihlder, executive
offlcer OF the A. D. A; Thomas Set
tie, representing the National Cap
1tal Park and Planning Commission;
Richmond B. Keech, corporation
counsel of the District; Maurice
Brooks, counsel for the A. D. A;
Harry S. Wender, president of the
Southwest Washington Citizens As
sociation, and Charles Thomas, COL
ored, chairman of the Employees and
Tenants Union.
Representative Southoff, Independ-
ent, of Wisconsin, a member of the
committee, said that general welfare
is the objective of this legislation,
that public health and safety are in
danger by many slum areas in
Washington.
Mr.. Ihlder told the subcommittee
that the authority has already COM
pleted or nearly completed 1887
homes and has on file 5000 applica-
tionS. He explained that the au-
thority has suffered from two handi-
caps in its um-clearance work.
One Of these is that it cannot go
into areas that do not have alley
dwellings in that particular block
and the other is that it cannot en-
gage in slum clearance where the
cost exceeds $3.50 per square foot.
Mr.. Wender told the committee
that in his own area in Southwest
Washington are some of the most
distressing slums you will find any
where in America. Property owners
are receiving 500 and 600 per cent
on the assessed value of the prop
erty and laugh at selling at 80 per
cent over the assessed valuation to
which the Alley Dwelling Authority
is limited"
