committee headed by Representa-.
tive Hebert, Democrat, of Louisiana
The legislation. which will be dis.
cussed at meeting of the Commis.
sionerS with the Board of Public
Welfare at 10 am. tomorrow, will
be IN the form of an amendment tc
bill pending before Congress under
which the administrative powers o1
the Welfare Board would be stripped
from that body and delegated to the
Commissioners.
The pending legislation, now be.
lore subcommittee of the House
District Committee, would create q
District welfare department.
INDICATED on 10 Counts.
The inquiry boards findings were
based mainly on the contention that
the effects of a dressing down Mr.
Gill gave his staff on December {
were such as to make his return tt
the Jail as general superintendent
impossible and intolerable."
Mr.. Gill promptly termed the
findings IAN anticlimax," and de-
clared that he already had beer
completely vindicated by the press
the radio and the people of Wash
lngton. Only men wearing legal
binders could fail to see that events
at the Jail since December have
corroborated my conclusions and
answer every one of the charges
brought against me-"
He said he had not yet decided
whether he would resign or continue
the fight to clear his record.
Mr.. Gill said that the report ot
the Hebert Committee had recog-
nized and embraced every one of the
recommendations he had made, in

The emphasis placed by the
inquiry board on the dressing -doWr
Mr.. Gill gave his employees did not
coincide with the attitude of the
congressional committee, Mr.. Gil
charged.
"They inquired" he said, whether
I had taken stern disciplinary
measures against the guards who
so carelessly regarded their re-
sponsibilities for the deathhouse ano
the conditions in the cellhouses
The only people who will find COM
fort in this report are these same

If the inquiry boards recon-
mendation for removal is carried
out, he asserted, mo public officer
would dare speak out against an
incompetent superior-even wher
public safety and security de-
manded it."
Six Charges Sustained.
The inquiry board sustained six
of the 1e charges originally filed by
the Welfare Board and emphasized
'it would have been easier for this
board to have reached a conclusion
opposite from that which they have
reached"
One sustained count was that Mr.

+ An AAF P-8O, the jet-propelled

from New York City to the Capita

The kerosene burning fighter
plane flew from La Guardia Fielc

Capt. Martin L. Smith of Kidder

he flew across the continent in
4 hours 80 minutes, running second
by 20 minutes to another P-8O that
averaged 584S2 m.p.h.
Time Fastest Ever.
Disappointing as the time was
to Capt. Smith, it was the fastest
ever between the two cities. The
previous record of So minutes Sc

de Seversky, May 18, 1888, in a plane
of his own design.

Smith as he doffed his goggles after
setting his streamlined, propeller
less Lockheed plane down at Boiling
Field, across the river from National
Airport. He said he didn't push the
plane.
When Capt. Smith first landed he
and AAF operations figured he had
made the trip in about q minutes
However, Ralph Cohen, official timer
of the National Aeronautics' Associa-
tion, gave the take off as 3::59 p.m
and arrival at 4:28:15.
When the plane streaked over
National Airport it was going so fast
the roar of its engine sounded a
mile or so behind. Capt. Smith
circled Washington three times at
as estimated speed of 600 miles an
hour, before he could slow down
enough for a landing at Boiling.

Vandenberg Support!
British Loan Passage
For Sake Of America
Republican Leader
Gives Measure His
Reluctant Backing
By J. A. O'Leory

Senator Vandenberg of Michi-
gan, who has taken a leading
role on the Republican side in
promoting international cooper
alton, spoke in the Senate today
in support of the $3,750, 900, ,0OC
British loan.
The Senator told his colleagues
it is solely question of whether
this loan should be made in the
light of intelligent American self
interest. and whether defeat of the
loan could be harmful to our own
welfare"
1T is on this basis that I have
reached the reluctant but firm con-
viction the bill should pass for the
sake of America" he added.
AS the Senate entered the second
week of debate on the issue, Sena-
tor LANCER, Republican, of North
Dakota announced he was yielding
the floor. He had spoken at length
against the loan last week.
Senator Vandenberg's position was
awaited with unusual interest, be-
cause OF the sharp differences of
opinion in the Senate over the loan
An informal poll indicates that the
Republicans are divided "a against
and Is in favor of the financial
agreement with Britain.
Barkley Warns on Amendments,
Informed sources believe Demo-
cratic leaders can muster ma iority
for final passage, but there is less
certainty of their ability to defeat
amendments or move to postpone
action.
Majority Leader Barkley warned
today that adoption of any amend
ments would necessitate new negoti-
atlons before the agreement could
be carried out.
One danger confronting the loan
is that opponents may drag out the
debate until it has to be sidetracked
for other urgent issues that face
deadllnes, such as draft extension
which expires May Is, and price
control, which expires June 30.
Senator Vandenberg, who leaves
for Paris tomorrow as a State De-
partment adviser at the Council of
Foreign Ministers, pointed out that
today was his last opportunity to
speak, and added, Il do not feel
am entitled to be silent on the sub
ject."
Contending that the loan is not
a question that can be decided or
mathematical basis or on the ques-
ton of whether it will be repaid
he declared:
TO pass it is a gigantic specula-
tion, but not to pass it may be a
greater speculation.

AS the city in cooperation with various other civic organizations is now engaged in a housing survey in an attempt to secure Federal aid for the construction of housing of permanent nature, it was en- phasized that the veterans bid for the Quonsets was for the purpose of securing immediate temporary quarters for homeseekers until such time as additional permanent hous- ing units are assured.
 In view of the emergency, Mayor Ernest Parsons assured the veterans aid in support of such plan, and it is felt that no objection should be raised as along as the huts would remain in their present loca- tion

 One of his letters, which the Rev. Webb calls more or less typical came from a veteran in Indianapo- lis, Indiana. In part the letter reads
 Dear Sirs: I recently got out of the Army Air Corps where I serv- ed two and one-half years as an airplane mechanic. Last year in a magazine article, I read about a man in Alaska who placer mines every summer and averages three to five thousand dollars a season.
