Bill for 7-Man
Recreation Unit
Is Reported
Measure to Be Put
On House Calendar
For Next Monday

A recently revised bill designed to
reorganize and coordinate reCrea-
tional activities here by placing
control and supervision under a
board of seven members was unani-
-mously approved today by the House
District Committee.
The measure will be placed on the
House calendar in time for its con-
sideration next Monday, the last
District day of the month.
The full committee acted on rec
ommendation of the Parks and
Recreation Subcommittee, headed
by Representative Hunter, Demo
Crat of Ohio, which has studied the
present recreational set-up for sew
eral months.
The bill favorably reported is a
revised edition of one sponsored by
the Presidents District Committee
on Recreation, which called for a
ine-member supervisory board.
Two Were Eliminated.
In rewriting the measure, the
subcommittee eliminated one citi-
zen representative and repre-
sentative of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
The seven member board would
be composed of four citizens ap-
pointed by the Commissioners, a
member of the Board of Commits
sionerS, a representative of the
Board Of Education selected by that
board and the superintendent of
National Capital Parks.
The recreation board is author
lied in the measure to appoint A
superintendent of recreation who
would serve as its executive officer.
His salary is fixed at not less than
$4,000 a year under a one-year
contract which may be renewed for
successive periods not in excess of
one year each.
The superintendent of recreation
would be given broad power to ap-
point and transfer employees in the
recreational system under a merit
plan.
Settle and Christensen Heard.
Thomas S. Settle. executive secre-
tary of the Park and Planning Com
mission. and Milo F. Christensen,
acting co-ordinator of recreation.
told the full committee just before
it acted on the revised bill they we're
in accord with the changes made in
the original measure Mr.. Settle,
however, said the plan proposed in
the original bill. under which the
of recreation would
make appointments on recommen-
dation of the board, was a better
arrangement"
The committee also favorably re-
ported bill authorizing an increase
from S450,000 to S500,000 in the cost
of construction of the new building
for the recorder of deeds, now being
erected at Sixth and D streets NV.
Representative Nichols, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, sponsor of the meas
ure, appeared before the committee
and explained the additional $4,000
is needed because of advances in
building prices. He pointed out
the House had originally approved
an authorization of $500 900, but
that $4,000 was Topped off in the
Senate.
Chairman Randolph of the full
committee appointed a special sub
committee to consider a bill in
tended to modernize the Districts
35-year-old fire protection law. The
subcommittee, composed of Repre-
sentatives Bolles, Republican, and
Sauthoff, Progressive, both of Wis
consin. and Harris, Democrat, of
Arkansas. is expected to begin hear
ings on the measure next week.

Van Duzer Makes Suggestions.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer informed conference delegates
Washington probably will have to
cut 20 per cent from its present
10000, ,Ooo- gallon annual consump-
ton.
Definite recommendations will be
submitted to the Commissioners by
the end of this week, he said Pos
sibilities he suggested include re-
striction of taxi cruising during some
hours, with provision for more taxi
stands.
Delivery trucks may be asked to
reduce their hours or days of service,
and buses may run less frequently
during off-peak hours, he said
E. S. Pardoe. delegate from the
Capital Transit Co., reported that
all his firms buses will soon carry
rs o S. stickers on their wind
shields. The initials will signify
stop octane sabotage-save our sup
ply of gas he said.
Instructions to Drivers.
Bus drivers will be instructed not
to race their engines, to use low
gears as little as possible and to
turn ignition keys off at stopovers
At garages care will be taken to end
hose Spillage and make proper motor
adjustments.
Other delegates suggested that
consumption can be cut by driving
at lower speeds. by idling the engine
while waiting at stop lights and by
slower acceleration. Filling station
attendants were mentioned as per-
sons best able to educate the public
in the anticipated campaign.
Mr.. Frey also reported that the
Government is not taking seriously
the claim advanced by J. j. Pelley.
president of the Association of
American Railroads, that 19 900 tank
cars are now idle and able to end
the impending emergency caused by
shift of tank ships to British aid
service.
Railways Deny Statement.
Mr.. Frey declared that the rail-
ways told us last fall that 5000 tank
cars were idle, and said this spring
that only 1000 were idle. Now Mr.
Pelley tells us the figure is 10000"
Il never heard of railway cars
propagating at that rate" Mr. Frey
commented.
A denial that the Association of
American Railways had made any
estimate of idle tank cars last
autumn of spring was made later
at association headquarters by NJ.
j. Gormley. executive assistant to
the president. Reached at his Office,
Mr.. Frey then reasserted that sta
tistics" indicate that the capacity
claimed is not there but upon con-
sideration said he believed his figures
came to him from the Interstate
Commerce Committee, not the rail-
ways.

PHILADELPHIA, April 26.-The
New York Giants ripped of one of
their spectacular ninth -inning ral-
lies today, scoring four runs to tie
the score at 6-all. and then gave
their game back to the Phillies in
the 18th inning when Lefty Cliff
Melton walked in the deciding run
for 7-to-6 decision.
Melton, fifth in a string of Giant
hurlerS, had been called on the
double-quick after Paul Dean walked
two men in row in the ninth. The
southpaw survived mishap until Dan
Litwhiler led off with a single in
the 1lth. Nick Etten sacrificed and
Tom Livingston purposely was
passed. Harry Marine famed and
Bob Bragan was walked intention
ally to get at Joe Podgajny, last of
three Philly pitchers. But Melton
couldn't get out of the groove and
forced in the winning tally.
81 Johnson kept the Giants under
control till the ninth, when Johnny
Rucker and Burgess Whitehead
singled, Hank Danning doubled, Mel
OFT lifted fly for a run and Babe
Young homered, scoring Danning
ahead of him to tie the score.
The Phils had pummeled Harry
Gumber, John Wittig and Walter
Brown for So lead earlier.
The defeat was not enough to
knock the Giants out of the National
League lead.
