Liquor License Plea
For Cafe Near CAPITOL
To Be Aired Further
Five Congress Members :,
Among Witnesses Before
! Beverage Control Boord

The extracurricular congressional
Hurry involving the liquor license
application Of a restaurant near the
Capitol will be aired further next
Friday when the Alcohol Beverage
Control Board will hear final argu-
ments in the case.
During yesterdays hearing f1ye
members Of Congress and the super
ihtendent of the House document
room went before the board to offer
conflicting views over the desirable
ity Of granting a license to Jerasimos
Kalivas, owner Of Rector's Grill, 149
B street Sc. Three legislators op-
posed the application, two were in
favor of it.
More than so House members are
involved through letters sent to the
ABC board when it considered a
previous application of the restau-
rant last year. Sent on omcial
House stationery, the letters pro-
tested granting of a license to the
restaurant. Subsequently the ap-
plication was denied.
Mystery Of Letters Probed.
Later. several legislators informed
the ABC Board that the letters had
been sent to the board without their
authorization and demanded the re-
turn of the missive. The board re-
fused, pointing out that once a let
ter was on file 1t could not be re-
turned.
At yesterdays session, Chairman
Alan w. Payne attempted to clear
up the mystery surrounding the let
ters. Elmer Lewis, superintendent
Of the House document room and q
brother Of Ted Lewis, who owns q
liquor-serving restaurant in the
same block as Rector's Grill, was
one Of the witnesses called.
Mr.. Lewis admitted under ques-
tioning by Ralph A. Cusick, attor-
ney representing Mr.. Kauvas, that
he had mentioned" the applica-
ton to II or Is Representatives and
Senators and their secretaries when
1t originally was filed last year and
had told them that "if they cared to
protest its issuance they could
do so"
He emphatically disclaimed knowl-
edge. however, of the protesting let
ters supposedly written by the legis-
lators during the summer. He also
denied that he had any financial
interest in his brothers restaurant
or that he had interceded in this
years license application.
Circulated Petition in Neighborhood,
Testimony Of other witnesses re-
vealed that Ted Lewis had circu.
lated a petition in the neighborhood,
gathering signatures protesting
issuance Of iquar license to Rec
tors Grill. Mrs. Georgiana Cornell
of 906 East Capitol street, owner of
the property in which Mr.. Lewis
restaurant Is located, said she signed
the petition "out of courtesy to Mr..
Lewis"
I'm not sure whether I read 1t
completely or not" she said.
Mrs. Cornell said her tenant was
endeavoring to enlarge his own place
and offered her 500 to connect his
present quarters to IN adjacent es-
tablishment she also owns.
Other residents expressed their
opposition to the granting Of the
license, declaring three restaurants
In the block serve liquor, In addition
to q liquor store.
One witness. Adrian 8. Knelly,
who told board members that "the
section Ia getting rougher all the
time and smelled enough already"
admitted owning . half interest In
the property housing the liquor
store.

In discussing construction work,

The estimates include construc-

IN Northeast and Southeast WASH

ber OF housing projects are under
construction, and it may be neces-
sary to request the Commissioners
to include some of these construc-
ton items in the first deficiency
appropriation bill for 1945, If the
housing construction in this area
develops so rapidly that additional
school facilities will be required
within year.
Money has been requested in the
1916 estimates for new school sites
and emphasis has been placed on
the necessity of purchasing land
for school construction to provide
additional classrooms In those Sec
tions OF the city where pupils are
attending school part time because
OF an insufficient number Of class

The Farmer and War Bond Purchases
by Charles W. Holman, Secretary
The National Cooperative Milk Producers Federation

strate that farmers are probably
diverting large part OF this fund
into land purchases. From March
/, 1913, to March /, 1914, average
land values per acre rose Is per
cent, with the larger part Of the
rise taking place in the last four
months Of the period. The in
crease during this four-month Pc
Rod was the highest on record.
being 20 per cent greater than the
average monthly rate of increase
for the 1919-20 boom year. Aver
age values per acre have increased
more than one-third in the past
years. In the 1868 period the
rise was about the same.
1t appears that an overcapitali-
cation of probably temporarily
high farm commodity prices is in
process just as in World War I.
Large mortgage debts incurred
now, at high levels of income, will
prove disastrous when both total
agricultural production and prices
fall. Land values are based on the
net return to land. With the end
OF the war in sight and with the
prospect that farm labor and other
costs will require relatively larg-
er return leaving the return to
land less, the logical course for
land values at present would APP
pear to be downward rather than
upward.
Therefore, 1t appears that
farmers would do well to in
vest every available dollar,
beyond that needed for debt
retirement, in Government
Bonds. These can be held
against the day when neces-
sary farm requirements will
be available and when farm
land values will have become
more stable. In this way the
individual farmer may assist
in Fastening the day OF return
OF his son, and also have cabi-
tai available to help finance
him in ventures Of his own
choice. Y. S. Treasury Department

furious conclusion. Modern war

borrowing. If large part of this

spending power is created through
the expansion Of credit. On the
other hand, if the borrowing is

their excess funds are drained off.
Hence, the pressure on prices re-
