Expense Account Cited


Mr.. Lee also, while an associate
member of the state roads commits
sion, had a personal expense ac-
count that jumped from $390.50 for
the year ending May 1, 1882, to the
sum of $1,810.81 for ten months
period ending February %, 1888.
During the same period, the other
members of the commission had no
expense account whatsoever. This
item of $1,810.81 was withdrawn
by Mr.. Lee from the petty cash
funds of the state roads commits
sion during the bank holiday, Mr..
Lee depositing voucher therefor.
In testimony of Mr.. William A.
Codd taken by the state survey
commission, Mr.. Codd testified that
he could not identify a number Of
expenditures as having any con-
nection with state roads business.
In conclusion, this attempted
smear on J. Glenn Beall by Brooke
Lees political henchmen is appar-
emily made to take the public spot
light off the unsavory record of
Brooke Lee in an endeavor to di-
rect the attention of the people
elsewhere. The machine leaders of
the Sixth congressional district are
now becoming fearful that they
cannot foist on the people of the
Sixth congressional district one
with a record such as f. Brooke
Lees. These Western Maryland
Democratic bosses will learn on
November third that the people Of
the Sixth congressional district are
not so gullible as to be taken in
by the half truths and demago-
query that are depicted in this
malicious and unfounded attack on

Inasmuch as Mr.. Lee and his
personally dominated state central
committee of Montgomery county
have endeavored by malicious state
ments and half truths to unjustly
malign and smear Mr.. Beall's per-
sonal and business reputation, it
becomes necessary to inform the
people of the Sixth congressional

whose record could be nothing but
distasteful to the people of this
district.

At the nominations for student
government heads for the coming
school year there was no nominee
for the post Of president Of the
Women's League.
The difficulty sprang from the
fact that the Womens League pres

coed leaders who live IN sorority
houses, where campus rules are
more lax than in dormitories, was
willing to move to q dorm"
Up to today there was still no

Censorship Fumbline
Stirs Irritation and
Spreads Gossip
Policy Fromer Leorns
Pet Story Was Killed
As 'UndipIomotic'
BY HELEN LOMBARD.

Washington has been the most
news-conscious capital in the world
since the occupation of Austria and
has had the most unbiased and
complete coverage of the world con-
flict-until December Z, 1871.
Particularly hard on skeptical, in
formed Washington, therefore, Is
the present semi-obscurity on the
news front, due in part to the sud-
den necessity Of military censor
ship and in part to the chaotic con-
ditions Of the so-called "informa-
ton services" Of the Government.
A distinguished novelist, Louis
Bromfield, visited washington not
long ago and declared that it was
the most "unromantic" city In the
world--he discovered that even gos-
sipy women discussed political in
trigues in preference to romantic
haisons.
As the news fountain, flooding
out information, from all over the
world narrows to Government
controlled trickle, gossip increases
a hundredfold and there are end
less versions Of every story. The
various information services think
nothing of fatty contradicting each
other.
Latest bon mot in Washington
salons about the dearth Of real in
formation is that Americans will
soon be obliged to listen to Axis
broadcasts in order to find out what
is going on in the world! Veteran
observers who have watched mill
tary censorship in the last war say
that as soon as the Government
gets all the threads in one hand,
the situation may improve. For
the time being the sixth column"
is having a Roman holiday and
rumors fly like leaves in the storm.
Mr.. Averageman is not the only
one who is irked by the censorship
and information tangle. Impor-
tant Government policy farmers
who are theoretically above blue
penciling actually have their policies
killed by overzealous censors.
A high-ranking Government Of
ficial decided that the delicate mo-
ment was ripe for impressing upon
one of our southern neighbors the
fact that the good-neighbor policy
should be reciprocal one.
He picked out responsible re-
porter working for newspapers in
that country and asked him to write
a story for foreign consumption to
the effect that the United States
would know how to be grateful to
its friends but would be obliged to
exclude unco-operative governments
from certain economic and other
benefits. The story, which was to
act as diplomatic lever on gov
eminent which was assuming that 1t
could benefit by American dollars
and good will and .s..s-..n Its Axis
ties, was written end sent osH.
The high official waited arl,:pusly
for the reaction to his trial b looon,
in the meantime holding .etain
negotiations in abeyance. J0thing
happened; it had evidently vanished
into thin air. On invest gallon he
discovered that a Wash .nGton cen
sor had expanded hts role Of cen
soring military information to COW
erage Of the entire diplomatic field.
The story had been considered "un-
diplomatic" and calmly suppressed.

 Forms More Popular

Gabriel Price, senior zone deputy collector of the local internal rev. enue department, stated today the number of income tax returns filed since the beginning of the year xas approximately 10000, and that two days of last week, Friday and Sat- urday, were undoubtedly the busiest during the rush when thousands filed into the internal bureau of- flee. That two-day period, MT. Price said, the office did business of about 5000 returns.
 Yesterda. the internal revenue collector said the office was virtual ly deserted as the deadline ap- preached at o'clock. Public re- sponse to file their returns before the deadline was said by the col- lector to be responsible for the quiet day and Mir. Price was appreciative that no last-minute taxpayers be- sieged the harrassed field deputy collectors who have worked under @ heavy strain.
 Yesterday was a one-day period granted as an extension because the 18th of the month fell on Sunday.
 MT. Price stated taxpayers this year took advantage of the simpli- fled forms which were issued by the Treasury department in order that they may file their returns with the minimum of effort.
 Commenting on the unprecedent- al riIcI, vxyhirh fha internal efa fl had just handled, MT. Price stated it was about four times as great as In past years.

The calling of able-bodied men into the armed forces has created shortage of industrial manpower. This makes the society's program of vocational aid of utmost importance. Through their two carefully supervised work shops, located in Hartford and Bridgeport, many already have been restored to the point where they have taken a place in defense industries. Many more who want to do their part are waiting for the opportunity as soon as additional facilities are available"

William Samolis, 56, of 184T Thomaston avenue, who has been earning upwards of $50 weekly at the American Brass Company went to jail for 60 days on a charge of :lon-support today rather than comply with a court order to pay $10 weekly for his wife's support.

SPRING ARRIVES NEXT SATURDAY
Weather Observers Claim RainstOrm Early Today
 Breakup of Winter

Thunder and lightning that ac- companied a heavy rainstorm last night and early this morning means, according to amateur weather ob- servers, the breaking up of winter. The rainfall, recorded by the city engineering department as amount ing to .87 of an inch, was another in the. series of heavy falls that have occurred during the past sev- eral weeks.
 Lightning flashes lighted the sky during the early morning hours and thunder rumbled in the heavens.
 The rain began falling heavily early last night, let up for time, then began pouring down again later.
 The heavy storm on St. Patrick's day recalled that a year ago on this date it was bitterly cold, and there were high winds. In contrast the weather for the past several days has been unseasonably mild, and even today the temperature was well above normal for March.
 Spring arrives officially on Satur- day.

Breezing Round New York


New York, N. Y., March IT. . Spanish restaurants and night club! with a prefix "El" before the name seem to predominate in New Yorl which accounts for vicious rumol I heard recently to the effect that Fl Chico was closed. On investiga' ton this proved to be entirely wrong. In fact, a man who wa lamenting the situation, and thu writer visited Fl Chico at six o'clock in the evening. We saw unmistak- able signs that plans were under way for business as uSuali so Wt wandered about The Village.
 Greenwich Village is as different in daylight and dark as Broadway The greater contract is that sections of the Village are depressing in day light and seem intriguing in the night shadows. The outside of most night places seems dismal and small IA few buckets of ice cubes are stacked outside spots where em- ployes are not expected until eigh' or later in the evening.
 k Drab apartments overhead revea! men in shirt sleeves peering out windows as the women folks, mostly in old world fashions can be seen working over the evening meal.
 There seems to be none of the characters for which the Village iS famous: roaming about. They do not begin to prowl until after S:0C o'clock.
 Children play makeshift games with a yigor and ambition which equals that of youngsters in finely appointed playgrounds anywhere Most of them will go indoors by dark while others will move ovel to Washington Square, where they seem to be visible at extremely late hours.
 We did not want to see this how ever. After FOO o'clock we returned to Fl Chico,s for dinner.
 On this occasion we looked ove. the premises very carefully, to be sure fire escapes were accessible tc all patrons. MT Benito Collada, who has been managing Fl Chico fol what seems to me over a decade stopped to greet us. He was amazed to learn our real purpose. Not only are there ample means of escape from ire" he said, but everything used is either fire-proof or fire re- tardant. The back curtains on the band pit and the festive decorations in the room are made of fire-prooi materials. The ceiling is fire-resist- ant. The entire building is well pro tected with sprinkler systems.
 An explanation of the misunder- standing was forthcoming. Some nightclubs catering to a transient business, make it g practice of pay ing cab drivers a dollar for steering customers to their door.
 A nearby spot, Fl -, whose troubles were financial rather thar fire hazard, has closed its doors. Tht cab drivers have tried to get a dol lar per fare from Fl Chico withou success. Mir. Collada explains hi reasons are that such excitemen seekers are usually not the type O diner he wants for permanent trade
 Fl Chico does put the accent ol good food. Spanish, South Ameri can Mexican specialties in a man lner that pleases the most exactini IpersOn used to menus in daily life The wine list is handled as ac coutrements to those meals am considered as food.
