Recreation Leaders
To Push Plan 10 Keep
Walsh Club Open
Wender Says Efforts
Will Continue to Get
Club for CoIored Group

Efforts to overcome the opposition
OF Representative Lanham, Demo-
crat. Of Texas to use of Lanham Act
funds for recreation centers in the
District will be continued, Harry S.
Wender. Recreation Board chair
man, said today. He added, I'VE in
tend to keep pulling at least to keep
open the Walsh Club as a recreation
center for girls, and to find a center
for Negro workers"
Since Federal Works Admins
traitor Fleming made known his re-
fusal to grant Lanham Act funds in
the near future, Recreation Supt
Milo F. Christensen has been trying
to get funds for the Walsh Club and
the club for colored persons from the
Community War Fund.
I'VE worked all day yesterday on
the details OF the request" he said,
"and now it has to go to the War
Fund Committee" Recreation Serv-
ices, Inc, has already approved in
principle the use of some of its
War Fund appropriations to con-
tinue renovation Of the Walsh Club
and open the new club.
Lanham Gives Views.
TN my opinion Representative
Lanham said today, "it is clearly be-
yond the purport of the Lanham
Act, as it refers to the District, to
provide recreation for workers here. u
The recreation funds are intended
for }p5,1cfriol u,orLoro ;e1IoxAI ~
out-of-the-way spots, he said The
District of Columbia has more rec
reation than any city I know for
workers." he declared.
The Lanham Act does refer to
improvements in the District, its
author declared, but the intention
was for sanitary, hospital and school
improvements rather than play
centers.
Gen. Fleming suggested to the
District group on Monday that leg
islation through Congress changing
the language of the Lanham Act or
separate bill would be necessary
to get authority for appropriation Of
Federal funds for the District.
Donor Disappointed.
Mr.. Wender believes a separate
bill would be too hard to get, he
said. Instead, the District officials
will continue to try to get District
recreation included in some Nation
wide legislation.
The donor of the one club now
operating for workers here, Mrs.
Evalyn Walsh Mclean, has ex-
pressed herself as disappointed" at
the attitude of the FWA. She do
mated the garage and spent $4,000
renovating it. Mr.. Christensen and
Mr.. Wender have both stressed that
they never expected to get more
than few clubs going at first.
I'VE only developed the master
plan of l8 centers at the request
OF FWA experts themselves" de-
clared Mr.. Wender I'VE hoped
only to get four or five or six going
/ to cover the CITY,"

Five D. {. Bills Lead
Senate Unit 5 Agenda
AT Saturday Session
Local Defense Setup and
Roomine House Safety
May Be Studied

A meeting of the Senate District
Committee was called today by
Chairman McCarran for 1890 am.
Saturday to take up wide variety
of subjects. including preliminary
discussion of five local bills passed
by the House Monday.
The committee probably will start
with discussion of complaints that
many rooming houses here have not
met all fire safety requirements.
A letter received yesterday from
the Southea,t Business Mems As
sociatlon, urging congressional in
qulry into the local civilian defense
organization, also is expected to-
come up.
The association described the de-
tense Setup as utterly disorgan-
lied and in need of a thorough in
vestigation and revision" Specific
complaints included:
That the auxiliary police force
was "demoralized" by the January
ruling limiting their authority to
practice AFRAID periods; that the
Commissioners have failed to equip
and compensate civilia~. defense
workers for injuries in me of duty,
and that inadequate Ind improper
equipment has be- =. furnished aux
lliary f1remen.
Other ques' .ons that probably will
be called the committees atten-
tlon include: The advisability Of
re-establishing the office of Peo-
pies Counsel before the Public
Utilities Commission, whether the
District income tax law needs clari-
flcation to avoid double taxation of
local residents whose income is de-
rived from another jurisdiction:
whether Government officials
should again be excluded from jury
service here, as they were num-
ber of years ago
Some of the bills passed by the
House this week may be acted on at
once, but indications were the
measure revising the local unem-
ployment compensation law prob
ably will be made the subject of
separate hearing. One of the main
purposes of the bill is to check the
accumulation of reserve fund that
has reached the S34000,000 mark,
and is far in excess of the amount
required to meet benefit payments.

Wender Urges
U. 5. Lump Sum
Of $10,000,000
1000, 900 Federal
Share Called Less
Than 10 Pct. of Cost
BY JAMES f. CHINN.

The deral Government
should end Immediately its par
slmonlouS' treatment of the
District and raise the payment
toward support of the municipal
government from S6,OOO,0GO to at
least sl0,000,000 year, Harry S.
Wender, president of the FEEDER
alton Of Citizens Associations,
today told House Appropria-
tons Subcommittee reviewing
the 1914 local budget.
Mr.. Wender pointed out that at
one time the United States paid so
per cent of the cost of operating the
District government and said that
now, with its tax-eXempt holdings
vastly increased, the 100000 Fed
eral payments represents less than
10 per cent
The tendency of the Federal
Government to buy up large areas
OF valuable District land an dto ex-
empt national institutions from local
taxation" he said, makes it in
creaslngly important for the Federal
Government to deal equitably with
Washington taxpayers.
The present $6,000,O00 lump pav-
ment has, as result, shrunk pro-
portionately in value and should be
supplanted with a Federal payment
this year Of at least $10000.0OO. Even
this amount will not compensate the
municipal government for its loss of
taxable land and the corresponding
increase in the cost of protecting
and providing facilities for Federal
properties"
Mr.. Wender, first of score of
civic and business leaders to appear
before the subcommittee, also urged
that funds be provided in the ap-
preparation bill it is to write for the
new fiscal year beginning July / for
peoples counsel before the Public
Utilities Commissioned office that
has been vacant for more than four
years.
The subcommittee planned to
close hearings on the 1914 budget
after listening to the requests of
the civic and business representa-
tives.
The scheduled witnesses, in addi-
ton to Mr.. Wender, included Mrs.
Basil Manly of the Voteless District
OF Columbia League of Women
Voters, Mrs. Edward B. Morris of the
Fort Davis Citizens Association,
Mrs. Marie Kuldell of the Progress
sive Citizens Association, Mrs. Birdie
l.. Westbrook of the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association, Rufus S. Lusk
OF the Washington Taxpayers Asso-
citation, Watson B. Miller of the
American Legion and David Lynn,
architect Of the Capitol.
Alt h ough the subcommittee
planned to end its hearings on the
budget today, it does not intend to
report the 1914 District appropria-
ton bill to the House before April 13.

Six Cadet Regiments
Compete for Honors
In Annual Drill Here
First Of Three Contests
Stosed at Stodium by
High School Students

Six regiments of high school ca
diets wheeled and marched in Cen
tral High School Stadium this
afternoon in a bid to win the 61st
annual Regimental Drill trophy.
The drill is the first of three ma =
jor contests to determine suprem-
acy among the schools in the high
school cadet corps. Last year West
ern won not only the Regimental
Drill flag, but also the Battalion
Drill and the final Company Drill.
About 1000 cadets were entered in
the contest at Central. Two of the
schools, Anacostia and Roosevelt
are not included in this drill be-
cause they do not have enough
cadets to form a complete regi-
ment.
Although personal appearance
like shiny buttons and trim hair
cuts. is not judged until the COM
pany drill at Griffith Stadium. the
boys at Central this afternoon were
cleaning with polish just the same.
So military was their appearance
that the spectator hardly noticed
the wooden instead of regulation
rifles carried on their shoulders. The
cadets Of Washington last summer
sent their Springfields back to
active service in the Army and
used painted wooden sticks, made
to look like rifles by Eastern High
School woodwork students,
Judges of the contest, all sta
toned at Fort Myer, were Maj. w.
H. Dorm, Capt. levin F.. Coleman
and 1t. David Waxman Their deci-
sions are to be announced late in
the day.
Besides the battalion and COM
pany drills, the cadets are waiting
also for the outcome of the annual
map-reading contest next Monday.
The battalion drill will also be held
at Central on Monday
Anxious to see the effect of the
increased emphasis on military
drills, Assistant Supt of Schools
Chester w. Holmes, attended the
drill this afternoon. He was ac-
companied by 1t. Col. Wallace M.
Craigie and 1t. Col. William E.
Darkman, directors of the Cadet
Corps.
