District Anti-Liquor
Price Advertising
Bill Passes House
Police and Firemen
Pay Increases, Small
Looms Measures Fail
By JAMES E. CHINN.

The House this afternoon passed
and sent to the Senate bill de-
signed to prevent advertising OF
retail liquor prices in the District
and the eventual creation of dry
zones within 600 feet of schools
churches. Fairgrounds, libraries and
military reservations.
Two other District measures on it,
calendar were fatty rejected, how.
ever.
One which would have raised the
maximum pay Of police and f1remer
$600 q year was voted down, 58<tc
so. The other would have allowed
small loan companies to operate
here with an interest rate of 2 per
cent a month on unpaid balances.
The drastic anti-liquor advertising
bill was approved without debate
Immediately after the House spent
two hours in bitter debate paving
the way for defeat of the small loan
legislation.
Price Lists Barred.
The liquor bill forbids any holder
Of a retail license, class A or B, to
distribute, sell or give away any
price list or information with re-
spect to the price of the beverages
he sells. 1t also provides that no
liquor license shall be transferred
or issued for an establishment with
in 600 feet of the nearest boundary
to a school, church. playground
eleemosynary institution, providing
housing for the INDECENT, soldiers
home or Army post. Navy Yard, or
marine barracks. Existing law al
lows liquor stores within 400 feet OF
such places.
The police and fire increase bill
was turned down after a Commute
discussion. during which its sponsor
Representative Schultz, Democrat
of Indiana, admitted the higher
salary scale it provided, would add
$1,5O0,000 a year to the District
budget.
Frankly. we are going to try ane
raise the salaries and then figure
out where to get the money Mr.
Schultz said He argued that Wash
ington now has the best Polio,
Department in the United States
and that its members, as we'll al
those of the Fire Department, hat
not had a pay increase for II years
The House voted 190-l09 agains
the bill to permit small loan com
panies to operate in the District.
Charges were hurled freely durini

Mr.. Wainwright said that on its
face, the order required clarifica-
ton on one point, and that is, as to
the level on which the 20 per cent
cut would be applied. For ex-
ample, he said, if March deliveries
were fixed at 20 per cent under those
for February, it would mean actu-
ally that consumption this month
would be cut more than 20 per cent
because more gasoline is being used
this month than last.

States on cutting speed limits was

Mr.. Ickes emphasized that the

S. The operation of school buses.
So far as practicable, supplying
companies are required to make de-
lveries to stations on basis of not
more than one-third of a months
quota during the first 10 days, and
not more than two-thirds during
the first 20 days. This is designed
to prevent stations from selling
