Randolph Criticized
On Plan 10 Allow
Stand-Up Drinking
House Committee Head
FuiIed to Take Stond,
Church Leader Says

The Committee on Civic Affairs
of the Washington Federation of
Churches today criticized Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee for failing to take a
stand on the proposed change in
District regulations to permit drink
ers to stand up at bars.
Making public letter in which
Representative Randolph told the
committee "it is my intention at all
times to- work for the public in
terest," Wilbur La Roe, chairman of
the Civic Affairs Committee, issued
the following statement:
This reply is regarded by the
church interests as completely fall
ing to take a stand on the issue. 1t
is the position of the churches that
the return of bars and bartenders
would be the virtual equivalent Of
the return Of the old saloon. What
was there to the saloon except bars
and bartenders?
"On this main issue, Mr.. Randolph
carefully avoids taking a position"
Representative Randolph's letter
was in reply to a letter which the
committee sent to both Mr.. Ran
dolph and Chairman Reynolds of
the Senate District Committee, voic-
ing opposition to the proposed
change. In his reply, Mr.. Randolph
said:
Il appreciate the approval ex-
pressed in your letter of April /, and
I assure you that it is my intention
at all times to work for the public
interest. Certainly, there are none
of us who would want the saloons to
be returned to the District or, in
fact, to any other section of the
country and I am not in favor of
any legislation that would make this
possible.
Il trust that this expression of my
position on the matter will clarity
any misunderstanding which you
may have had"

Bill Offered 10 Clear
TanqIe Over Income Tax

Designed to untangle the legal
snarl caused by claims of Govern
ment employees in the District that
they have domicile in their home
State and therefore are not subject
to the District income tax, bill
was introduced in the House yester-
day by Representative Moser, Dem
ocrat, of Pennsylvania
Under his bill, workers on the
Government pay roll in the District
would be required to pay the Dis
trict income tax unless they proved
payment of taxes in one of the 48
States. Government workers, in
order to avoid payment, would be
required to file certificates that
taxes were paid in a State and also
proof that the employe is a regis
tered voter in that State.
Under the Moser bill, the filing
of false statements regarding pay
ment of taxes would result in dis
charge from the Government serv-
ice.
This measure will be considered
by the Civil Service Committee soon
after the House reassembles.

District Coal Users
Asked NOT 10 Boost
Size Of Orders Now
Supply Will Be Adequate
For Several Weeks Yet,
Public Is Assured

Washington users of bituminous
coal were urged today by spokemen
for the Washington coal business to
refrain from increasing the size OF
their orders because of the strike
by miners, on assurances an ample
supply is available here for some
weeks to come"
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, executive
chairman of the District Defense
Council, conferred late yesterday
with spokesmen for the local coal
business, after receiving request
from the National Defense Commits
sion to aid in observance of the
order freezing all soft coal prices
during the strike at levels of March
%.
Public Is Reassured.
Copies of the notice sent out by
the National Commission, plus a
statement of the policy of organized
District merchants, is to be sent
to Washington dealers and to the
local wholesale yards, it was an
nounced by Worden w. Reed, chair
man of the coal division of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
Mr.. Reed issued the following
statement: Il am satisfied that the
Washington coal merchants policy
will be the same as that maintained
during the bituminous coal strike of
1899 when the local merchants had
as now, provided for shutdown by
purchasing ample supply OF coal for
distribution to their respective GUS
toners and there was no increase in
prices or attempt to increase prices
It assure the public that our men,
bers have ample stocks for the needs
of their customers for some weeks
to come and I am confident that
there will be no attempt to proflteer
or increase prices above prices pre-
vailing the month of March just
closed while the emergency lasts
The public will please remember that
this strike is on bituminous or soft
coal only and this is for commercial
use. There is no strike in the an
thracite or hard coal field which
provides most of the coal used by
householders for heating purposes.
Supply Expected to Be Enough.
"I feel sure in saying that If the
commercial bituminous coal users
will not call upon their respective
dealers for supplies except for cur
rent needs there will be ample coal
to go around until mining operations
are resumed"
Those attending the conference
yesterday were James E. Colliflower
president of the Board of Trade and
past president of the Merchants ano
Manufacturers Association; Edward

M. & M; Welfare Director Robert

Jewish Units
See Action
In Africa

NEW YORK (JTA)-Troop con-
tingents formed entirely of Jews
went into action for the first time
in the war during the British
campaign in North Africa, Raoul
Aglion, who participated in the
drive as a Free French observer,
disclosed in an interview here.
Aglion, former member of the
French Legation at Cairo, said the
units gave an excellent account Of
themselves, fighting under the
blue-white flag of Palestine and
differed by Jews. Jewish filters
bombed the fleeing Italians and
ably cooperated with the British
in other flying operations, he
said. The Jewish contingents by
now probably have clashed with
the German units sent hastily to
Africa to bolster the badly-shaken
Italians, he stated.
The French observer, who
reached here via the Cape of Good
Hope recently, said many Foreign
Legionaires stationed in Syria es-
capped into Palestine w h n the
Franco German armistice was
signed to fight for the British.
Many of these men-including
number of German Jews-fought
at Derna and Sid Barrani.
