British Ambassador
And Wife 10 Inspect
Mobile Tea Kitchen
Iron Duke to Go to
Embassy Today Before
Leaving on Trip

Viscount and Lady Halifax today
will inspect the war-battered mobile
tea kitchen brought to this country
from England to help raise relief
funds. The kitchen, which will be
on display at Massachusetts, and
Wisconsin avenues NV. this after
noon, will be at the British Embassy
at noon for the inspection.
The British Ambassador and his
wife will be served tea brought from
London and prepared in the rolling
kitchen from which thousands of
soldiers and afraid wardens re-
ceived hot drinks and food during
aerial bombardments of London and
the channel coast.
The canteen, dubbed the Iron
Duke" by British Tommies, after
today's displays, will leave on a
tour of Virginia cities, the South
Atlantic Coast, various other South
ern States and the Middle West.
Wendell L. Willkie was among
visitors yesterday afternoon. He
inspected the AFRAID souvenirs of
bombs and airplane fragments
carried by the Iron Duke, obigingly
posed for news photographers and
left contribution for the British
War Relief Society, which is seeking
funds to buy modern motorized
canteens for services in England.
Mr.. Willkie, Republican presidential
candidate in 1910, visited England
recently.
A number of Washington officials
and their wives also visited the Iron
Duke" while it was parked in front
of local headquarters for the society
at 1913 Connecticut avenue NV.
Still another caller was Maurice
Evans, British actor who had been
playing an engagement at the Ma
tional Theater.
The Iron Duke" in the course
OF a three-month tour, will stop
next at Warrenton and Middleburg
before going to Richmond, Newport
News and Norfolk. The mobile can
teen, in addition to hot food, carries
such items as soap, razor blades,
cigarettes and candy for distribution
to afraid workers.

council for Zoning and building
regulation supervision the regional
park district and its tax of cents
on s100 valuation also would be
abolished.
The report advocated repeal of the
present provisions in State law for
distribution of a share of the gaso-
line tax among incorporated munich
palities and also for repeal of pro-
vision for refunding the share of
income tax collected within the
municipalities limits. On the gaso-
line tax, the report pointed out that
the municipalities were receiving
State funds for defraying costs of
purely local street improvements,
which should be assessed against
the property owners within the area.
A refund of a share in the income
tax to the county is justified on the
basis of its function as part of the
State government, but the munich
palities perform no governmental
services for the refund they receive,
the report claimed.
School Setup Revised.
Included in recommendation for
the public school system was one
that the post of supervisor of school
property appointed by the county
commissioners be abolished and re-
placed by an assistant superintend-
ent of schools named by the Board
of Education. Another suggestion
was to institute military training in
the high schools, partly for its bene-
fetal effect on health and for more
stress on teaching the United States
Constitution.
The report also recommended that
all functions now performed by the
Social Service League, a private
agency supervising placement of Ju-
venile Court wards and dependent
children, and by other charitable
agencies, be transferred to the
County Welfare Board, including
county disqualification and commit
ment of insane persons now handled
through the county commissioners.
One suggestion was that hearings
be held on the county budget before
its adoption. A hearing would offer
an opportunity to present arguments
for or against proposed appropria-

to proposed county council, which
would supplant the present Board
of Commissioners. The council
would be relieved of all administra-
tive duties under the new charter
and would operate only as a policy
making body.
The administrative functions of
government would be vested In a
county administrator, named by the
county council and chosen for special
qualifications to carry out the
policies of the council and efficiently
manage the s135, 100000 corpora
ton" with $4,000 stockholders" that
is Montgomery County.
To this county council would be
transferred all legislative authority
now exercised by other boards and
commissions, such as the Park and
Planning Commission. The council
also would exercise more centralized
control over various other functions
now assigned other bodies, such as
maintenance and development of
parks and parkways, supervision
over county fire departments. With
a newly created county planning
committee the council would have
general responsibility for planning
the county's development.
Park Board Functions Reduced.
Relieved of administrative func-
tions as to zoning, and with its
duties relating to roads and park
ways transferred to a reorganized
and enlarged county engineering
department, the Park and Planning
Commission would be confined to
handling park properties and act
ing as iaison agency between the
county council and the National
Capital Park and Planning Commis-
sion to deal with problems affect
ing Montgomery County and the
District of Columbia. The Office of
park commissioner would be abol-
ished under the proposed setup. and
the planning engineers Office would
be transferred to the jurisdiction
of the coupty council. With the in
creased jurisdiction of the county

tions and guide the proposed county
council in approving expenditures,
the report stated.
Members of the county council
would be elected on nonpartisan
ballot and would serve without pay.
The report also gave some attention
to the question of instituting proper
tional representation, so that minor
ity groups would have some repre-
sentation on the county's chief legis-
lative body.
Election Method Altered.
Another suggestion was nomi-
mating from individual districts and
electing from the same districts.
Under the present system, candi-
dates for the county board are
nominated by districts. but elected
by a county wide vote. Enlarging
the county council to seven or nine
members was considered.
One of the principal powers to
be assigned to the new county
council would be that of ablishing
or revising the boundaries of special
taxing areas or incorporated munich
palities, authority which now stems
only from the legislature.
The Brookings Institution offered
its services in the problem of OBJ
tanning whatever changes should
be considered advisable, in view of
the fact that many of them would
require popular or legislative action
The question of putting desirable
changes into effect would involve
considerable technical difficulty, but
could be handled with careful prep
aration by a committee of public
spirited citizens, the report said
The changes would be directed to-
ward improving the efficiency Of a
governmental unit which modern
conditions are rapidly changing into

Congress Group Fails
In Full Farm Parity
Plea 10 Roosevelt
Conferees, Discouraged,
Threaten Move to Ruise
Appropriation Figure
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional farm leaders said
yesterday they had failed to con-
vince President Roosevelt of the
need for legislation guaranteeing
full parity" prices for basic agri-
cultural products.
They left a White House confer
ence admittedly discouraged" and
threatening to conduct a drive for
greatly increased direct appropria-
tions to insure higher farm prices.
Parity is the price at which farm
products would have the same pur-
chasing power in relation to other
commodities that they had in the
1909-1914 period. Senator Bank
head, Democrat, of Alabama, one of
those participating in the White
House conference, said under pres
ent conditions this would mean
152 cent cotton, s1.13 wheat and
82-cent corn, with various prices
for tobacco according to grade.
About 400 Millions Needed.
Officials have estimated that al
most double the present S212 900 900
appropriation for parity payments
would be needed to bring about full
parity prices.
In addition to Senator Bankhead,
Congress members participating in
the meeting with Mr. Roosevelt and
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
were Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia and Representative Fulmer,
Democrat, of South Carolina.
The group reported the Chief
Executive was unwilling to stand
for 100 per cent parity which they
advocated, as compared with the
present law aimed at rs per cent
parity.
1--WE had a frank and friendly dis
cussion, but there was quite a diff
ference of opinion and no definite
conclusions were reached" Senator
Bankhead told reporters. The
President did not seem to be in
clined to raise the floor under prices
as much as the delegation wanted.
We wanted full parity"
Four Plans Discussed.
The Alabaman said they dis
cussed four plans-au designed to
establish full parity. One was his
own plan providing for price-peg-
ging loans. Another was a pro-
posal by Representative Fulmer to
issue certificates to professors, which
has been described as an indirect
processing tax.
A direct price fixing plan and a
larger appropriation were the other
alternatives discussed
"All of us on the hill," Senator
Russell said, "are gravely concerned
about the tremendous disparity be-
tween farmers income and that of
other groups.
twenty-five per cent of the peo-
pie live on the farm and they are
only getting 51a per cent of the
total income.
I'VE don't see any immediate
prospect of the tremendous ex-
penditures under the defense pro-
gram helping the farmer, and I, for
one, am rather discouraged. If no
other plan is approved we might try
to increase the parity item in the
appropriation bill"
Representative Fulmer said Con-
gress had taken care OF every
other group as to prices except the
farmer, who has to pay fixed prices
and is clearly entitled to full
parity"
