keech Calls BiIbo
Impractical on Issue
OF Snow Removal

A demand by Chairman Bilbo of
the Senate District Committee that
the Commissioners enforce laws and
regulations requiring clearing of
snow and ice from sidewalks brought
from Corporation Counsel Keech to-
day a rejoinder that court decisions
and the manpower shortage made
this impractical, if not impossible.
In two cases in 1904 and 1905, MIR.
keech said, the Court of Appeals
held that an act of Congress and a
regulation of the Commissioners,
making landowners criminally liable
for failure to clear sidewalks, were
held unconstitutional.
In 1922, he said, Congress passed
a law enabling the municipality to
clear the sidewalks and charge the
landowner for the labor, plus a
penalty of $25. At present the man
power shortage makes this next to
impossible, he said. In the past
it was found very impractical. The
District cleared. sidewalks and got
back some money but it had to sue
In many cases to collect the charges.
1T was like bringing a 100000
suit to collect a $35 charge" he said
The practice was abandoned some
time ago. I have been in the
corporation counsels Office for 10
years, 5 years as an assistant, and
during that time do not remember
any attempts to utilize this right to
clear Sidewalks and charge the
owner"

The Health Department has begun

Twins.
The idea of the course originated
when husbands asked for admit

obstetrical specialist from Gallinger

servicemen and 16 civilians at 48O

So detailed that three woman re-

manner at the six reporters and five
photographers.

over the State Department Ito the
former chairman of United States

Jap Drive 10 Create
Haired for Whites in
Asia Called Failure
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
HOT SPRINGS, Va, Jan. IL
Japan's attempt to stir up Asia to a
hatred of the white race has failed
the l60 Far Eastern experts meeting
here in an Institute of Pacific Re-
lationS conference have learned
from delegates from China, Thai
land, Burma and India.
The Indian delegate said his ma
ton is entirely anti-Japanese, al
though, previous to the war he felt
that japanese radio broadcasts
preaching Asia for the Asiatics'
had had some effect throughout
Asia. But" he said, since her
attack she has been losing psyche
logical ground steadily"
Chinese, Burmese and Thailand
speakers agreed, the Burmese dele
gates saying "Japans propaganda
has spent its force"
The subject came up in a general
discussion of means to eliminate
racial tensions in the Far East. 1t
was pointed out by British dele
gate that determinations were prac-
ticed not only by the white toward
the non-white, but among the Ash
atics themselves. For example, they
cited discrimination by both the
japanese and the Siamese toward
the Chinese.
A Philippine delegate said the at
titude of the United States toward
his country was the most effective
weapon now at hand to combat JAP
anese propaganda.
There is need for much more
such concrete actions rather than
for more pronouncements," he said
His statement was a pointed ref
erence to the demands of the Indian
delegation here for recognition by
the rest of the world of their battle
for independence from Great Brit
ain, whose promises of independence
after the war are considered empty
