Europe reloaded at South American
ports
ANY vessel carrying on trans

'only an occasional blockade run
ner" reaches South American ports.

Hopes for Fair Fiscal
Relations Arrangement
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Hope that some reasonable for
mula" can be worked out to pro-
vide a fair and equitable basis OF
fiscal relations between the Federal
and District governments was ex-
pressed today by Representative Ste
fan. Republican, of Nebraska, as the
House prepared to begin considera-
ton of a bill calling for $50 500 900
to operate the municipal govern
ment here in the II months begin
ming July l.
Debate on the bill has been lin
tied by agreement to one and half
hours. Chairman Mahon of the
subcommittee in charge of the meas
ure said it would be passed and on
its way to the Senate before 6 pm.
Mr. Stefan, ranking minority
member of the Appropriations Sub
committee in charge of the bill,
pointed out that the bill as it is pro-
vides continuation of the annual
$6,000,000 lump-sum Federal pay
ment toward District expenses for
the coming fiscal year.
No Jurisdiction on Amount.
"The committee felt it had no leg
islative jurisdiction over the lump
sum amount, which reflects the
contribution of taxpayers from every
State in the Union" he declared.
Whether the amount is too low, or
too high, it is felt, is a matter for
legislation. 1t is hoped some rea-
sonable formula can be worked out
in order that the services rendered
to the Federal Government by the
District government can be recipro-
Gated on a fair and equitable basis.
1t is felt, however, that the COM
mittee has provided sufficient funds
for the District compared with the

ing moments of gaiety as he flew
against the wind.
Philip was the husband every
woman wanted. Suddenly she
wanted his arms around her, his
lips against hers. Somehow,
without words she must let him
know she loved him, that the
past and Sandy would not cross
the Rockies so far as she was
concerned.
Philip matched her mood. He
had his long, swift roadster park
ed downtown. They took taxi
cab to it's address, climbed into
the car and followed the Hudson
river along the Speedway to the
George Washington bridge that
swung in silver mist against the
rainy night. They crossed the
bridge and rode far up the
Palisades.
When Philip swung the car
around to start home, Judy
sighed happily and sleepily. The
mood stayed with her until she
had undressed, bathed, given her
russell curls one hundred up
ward, outward strokes and flung
her windows to the darkness and
the rain.
People forgot things, all things,
she murmured, slipping between
soft white sheets. In time, no
memory mattered. Sometimes
you forgot where the hurt had
been, while it had been.
Now she need not face the
embarrassment that would come
when people learned that she
followed Sandy, only to discover
he and another girl were winging
their way to the western coast.
She felt relaxed and protect
ed when she fell aslep.
1t was around 3 o'clock that
the low ringing Of her telephone
wakened her. She stirred, hear
ing it from q great distance at
first. AS sleep left her the
sound increased in volume. Slip
ping into rose mules and flow
ing rose negligee, she started to-
ward the telephone. With her
hand on II, she paused. It would
be Sandy and she had closed
the gates Of her heart to him.
