Milton E. Diehl, special assistant

the Once of Defense Transporta-

were named members of the Arling-

They were appointed to fill
vacancies created by the recent
designations of Edwin M Montague,
assistant to the director of the

ton attorney. Mr.. Montague is now
in the Army and Mr.. Adams has
applied for a commission in the
armed forces.
In making the appointments, Mr.
Campbell, who revived the commits
sion when he took office three years
ago, declared:
"One of the most important func-
tions of the commission at this
time will be to attempt to co-ordi-
nate all transportation facilities to
the new Federal Office buildings now
located in Arlington. I hope the
commission will undertake survey

"It is of the utmost Importance,
however, that the commission
should attempt to bring some order
out of chaos which has resulted from
the attempt of the District of Co.
lumbia Public Utilities Commission
to exercise jurisdiction over Virginia
territories. We can not sit idly by
and permit the District PUG to
order bus routes and taxicab fares
in Arlington territory.
1T is my hope that many OF these
transportation problems can be
worked out through cooperation
between the Arlington authorities
and the District PUG and through
the assistance of the ODT or some
joint agency"
Besides Mr.. Diehl and Mr. Grant,
other members of the Arlington
PUG are Mrs. Alma C. Ramsay,
chairman; W. Glen Bixler and J.

Senate Passes
LetlaI Gas Bill
And 9 Others
Five Go to President; ;
Action on Police
Pay Postponed

The proposed substitution OF q
lethal gas chamber for the electric
chair at the District Jail, one OF
10 local measures passed by the
Senate yesterday, now goes to the
House for action.
Six Of the bills acted on yesterday
had previously passed the House
but one was amended and must &c
back to the House. The remaining
five, which 60 to the President fol
signature, are:
An amendment to the District in
come tax to exempt out-of town
corporations from the tax on goods
shipped here when the transaction
lis completed outside the District
1t also exempts from local licensing
requirements corporations receiving
orders by mail, telephone or from
solicitation requiring acceptance
outside the District.
Affects Ambulance Licensing.
To take ambulances and funeral
cars out OF the category of taxicab,
and place them in a separate IL
censing class so that drivers of such
vehicles will no longer be required
to wear badges.
To give the Commissioners more
discretion in assigning policemen to
special duty at headquarters.
To authorize the issuance OF a
license to DR.. Wesley X. Harris to
practice chiropractic in the District.
To fix the compensation of special
counsel who represented the District
government in litigation in Penn
sylvania courts.
The sixth bill, which goes back
to the House for action on Senate
amendments, would permit custodial
workers in the public schools to ac-
cept extra compensation for services
rendered other Government agen-
cies, such as when civil service ex-
aminations are held in schoolhouses
Bill Affects Policemen.
Along with the gas chamber bill
three other bills received Senate
approval that have never passed the
House. They are:
To authorize the placing of a me-
mortal bust of the late Senator
George E. Chamberlain in Gallinger
Hospital, in recognition of his work
for the institution.
To establish the rank OF cor
poral in the Police Department and
to extend the probationary period
of new policemen from one to three
years.
To permit custodial workers ir
the public schools to be paid out OF
Selective Service funds for work
performed for draft boards since
October, 1880.
The Senate postponed action on
the proposed $500 pay increase for
policemen and firemen. The report
on the bill was not unanimous, which
means it probably will come up al
a time when its provisions can be
debated. The Senate was working
yesterday under the unanimous con-
sent rule.
Two other local bills were post
poned. One is to reorganize the
system for appraisal of personal
property. and the other makes a
minor amendment in the law fol-
retirement of Police and Municipal
Court judges.
