Lutheran Farley Urged
To Have Church Views
Presented in Capital
By Cospor Nonnes
Stor Stoff Correspondent

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 22.-Prot-
estaEt denominations we're urged to
have fulltime representatives in
Washington to present views of their
churches to Government officials by
the Rev. Robert Van Dusen, pastor
at the Lutheran Service Center in
Washington. He made the recon-
.mendation in a report made public
today at the National Lutheran
Council meeting here.
The council, which opened its
29th annual convention here yes
terday, is the common agency for
eight Lutheran bodies in the United
States and Canada representing
$500 900 persons. The meeting will
end Friday.
Mr.. Van Dusen's report, the re-
suit of three months study, said
Federal agencies would welcome,
rather than resent, such church
representation in the Capital.
The council yesterday passed
motion to appropriate $35, 900 OF It's
funds to pay the mortgage on the
Lutheran Center at 736 Jackson
place NV. The title Of the prop
erty, now primarily in the Board OF
American Missions of the United
Lutheran Church in America, would
be transferred to the Lutheran
council when it is incorporated. The
center was purchased by the Luth-
Grams in 1943 for $4,000 as a war
time measure.
More than $6,5Oo,OoO of a s1O,-
900, 900 campaign fund for the Luth-
eran World Action Relief Program
has been raised. The Rev. DR.. Paul
C. Empie, director Of the program,
announced. The Rev. DR.. L. Ralph
Tabor, pastor of Luther Place Me-
mortal Church, Washington, is one
of the directors of Lutheran World
Action.
A budget of s1,138,183 was ap-
proved today by the council for
1947. This amount does not in
clude overseas or emergency relief
funds.

BROWNING, Mont, Jan. 22.-
Seven trucks were slated to begin a
hazardous 40-mile journey from
Browning to Babb today with needed
supplies for the tiny Northwestern
Montana community's 300 inhabi-
tants who have been snowbound for
three weeks.
Randy Manuel, operator of the
Browning Telephone Co., reported
that a giant rotary snowplow was
believed to have entered Babb early
today. 1t had been struggling con-
stantly since Sunday to cut through
10 to 20 foot snowdrifts on the
route along the rugged Continental
Divide, near the Canadian border.
The town has been isolated COM
pletely since December 30. No ex-
treme emergencies have been re-
ported, although food and fuel sup
plies were said to be dangerously
low

Anderson Proposes
Revised Farm Price
Support 10 Avert Loss
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

Secretary of Agriculture An
derson proposed to Congress
today that the Governments
farm support price program be
revised to avert large Federal
expenditures and overproduc-
tion.
Making his first appearance before
the new House Agriculture Commit
tee, the Secretary declared that '.it
is not hard to visualize situation
not far distant in which existing
price supports would throw produc-
ton far out of balance with demand
and would result in extremely heavy
Government expenditures.
The Government, under congress
sional legislation, is pledged to sup
port a large number of farm COM
modities at 80 per cent of parity
until the end of 1948. The program
already has cost the administration
about $80,000,000 in supporting the
price of an over-abundant potato
crop.
Should Be Bilateral Consent.
The Secretary stressed that any
changes made in the law should be
made with the consent of farmers
and the Government, and added:
II am not suggesting for an in
slant that we back down from the
spirit of the Governments commit
mentS to farmers. That would be
unthinkable. We would do better
to pay the bill, whatever the cost,
for that would still be part OF the
cost of the war"
Mr.. Anderson said that he did
not foresee any great problems with
support programs this year, with the
possible exception of potatoes again.
since I'VE can expect that prices
will stay above support levels
through 1947."
Loss May Exceed Billion.
But, for next year, the Secretary
was not so optimistic. If, for in
stance, the country were to suffer
a recession similar to 1920-1, net
loss to the Government under the ;
program might exceed $1,000, ,000, 900,
he said.
Meanwhile, Representative Andre
sen, Republican, of Minnesota indi-
Gated the special subcommittee Of -
the House Agriculture Committee
would recommend to the full body
that sugar rationing and price con-
troll be extended. Unless Congress
acts, rationing will end April and
price ceilings July /. D.
The subcommittee, which is in
vestigating food shortages, yesterday
heard representatives of sugar pro-
ducers, refiners and handlers call
for a continuation of controls be-
cause of the scarcity of sugar.
An official of the Agriculture De-
partment said yesterday it may be
possible to increase the consumer
sugar ration this year from 25 to
IS pounds per person on an annual
basis and to increase industrial
users ALLEGATIONS from so to 80 per
cent of their 1941 use.

DisfrictAutoA Accidents
In 46 Cost 7 Million,
Keneipp Tells Meeting

Washington.s traffic accidents last
year cost nearly s2,0o0,o0o, accord
ing to George E. Keneipp. director
of vehicles and. traffic of the Dis
trict, despite the fact that between
IS 600 and 10000 fewer vehicles were
registered here than in normal
year.
Mr.. Keneipp, speaking before the
Washington Advisory Board of the
Keystone Automobile Club last night
at the Mayflower Hotel, based his
figures on 72 fatalities at $4,000
each, a total of $4,000; 1895 per-
sonal injuries at 500 each, $488, 900
and property damage STAB, ,545. The
estimate took into account only those
accidents reported by the police, he
said. There were thousands more
in which the damage was so slight
that the police made no report, or
did not know of the accidents.
The traffic division has adopted
as a slogan, Mr.. Keneipp said,
stop speeding and drunken driv-
ing, or else"
Mr.. Keneipp said he had sent
recommendation to the Commis-
sioners that physicians be required
to report all cases of epilepsy to the
District Health Department, which
in turn would report confldentially
to the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic, and the patients driving
permits would be revoked. This Is
patterned after the California State
law The director said his depart
ment. during the past several
months had discovered about one
case of epilepsy a week and the
drivers permits of the sufferers had
been revoked.
Among the problems of the traffic
department he said is the fact that
out-of- town motor vehicles make upI
49 per cent of the cars using the
streets of the District. The greatest
number of these cars are from
Maryland and Virginia. The aver
age number of cars entering the
shopping area bounded by Pennsyl-
vania and New York avenues and
Seventh and Fifteenth streets NV,
between $50 am. and 11:30 pm. is
87,433 day.
Mr.. Keneipp also discussed the
underground parking center OF San
Francisco, but said the sites avail
able here are too far from the shop
ping center to be success. He said
that such a center should be within
two or three blocks of the shopping !
center. Franklin park has been sug-
gested for such a center, but it Is
believed that it Would serve only the
hotels in that neighborhood and
some speciality shops on Fourteenth
street.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Jan. 22.-
There's a popular feeling among
West (by gum Virginians that
when a native travels to distant
places strangers either take him for
a Virginian or expect to find him
barefoot in a coonskin cap.
So the Legislature will be asked
to change the States name. Either
that, said the sponsor of proposed
resolution, or ask its sister State to
rename itself EAST Virginia.
"Offhand," said Delegate Frank
A. Knight, Charleston Democrat. Il
would say there is little prospect OF
that happening"
Mr.. Knight, who with Delegate
William F. Blue, Charleston Repub-
lican, as co-sponsor, said resolu-
ton would be introduced at today's
session proposing the Mountain
State change its name, had this to

Sergeant at Arms Operates
100000 Banking Business

gress are given 80 days in which to
withdraw balances on deposit with
the sergeant at arms or to make up
any overdraft.
No Such Senate System.
Mr.. Russell said his Office is will
ing to cash checks as matter of
convenience for all House members
This applies not only to pay checks
but to personal checks they may
write on any bank in the country.
The Senate has no such banking
arrangement. Senate Finance Clerk
Oco Thompson simply sends month
ly checks to the Senators, and that
is that.
The House sergeant at arms Office
on the ground floor of the House
wing would be a busy place even ii
there were no extensive banking
functions.
One of its most important duties
is as custodian of the historic mace.
The mace, 46 inches high, consists
of 13 ebony rods held by a silver
Ddllo dilO UopPC0 Ny oiANSA 6AoSS
and eagle. 1t has no counterpart in
the Senate or Supreme Court, but
since the first Congress in 1889 it
has served as the "active symbol Of
authority of the House sergeant-at-
arms" When not brought to the
House floor, 1t is kept in the SER
geant- t-at-arms Office.
Used in Quelling Disorder.
While the House remains In
session, the mace stands at the
Speakers right. 1t is removed to a
lower pedestal when the House re-
solves itself into Committee of the
Whole.
This is significant" Mr.. Russell
because it requires, 218
members to constitute a quorum for
business in the House, but only 100
when the House Is sitting as Com
mittee of the Whole"
When extreme disorder breaks out
on the House floor, the Speaker can
order the sergeant at arms to re-
store order by carrying the mace
about the chamber and holding it in
front of the offending member. The
last time such an order was given
was about Is years ago by the late
Speaker Rainey.

Al Capone Rallies
After Stroke in Florida
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. o.
AL Capone, fighting battle with
death, was reported as much i'm
proved" today by his physician. who
added. however, that he was def
nitely not out of danger
The former king of the under
world suffered a stroke at his palm
fringed estate early yesterday, but
rallied last night.
DR.. Kenneth Phillips, who has
treated Capone for paresis since
1910, visited the gang lord OF pro-
hibition days for 20 minutes this
morning.
"Capone slept we'll and naturally u
the physician said after his visit.
His condition is much improved
but he definitely is not out OF dan
ger because one can't tell in a stroke
of this type for two or three days.
Capone was unconscious after be-
ing stricken about 4 am. yesterday
and his death was expected momen-
tarily, but last night DR.. Phillips
reported that he had regained con-
sciousness and continues to i'm
prove"
This startling change in the
pudgy, 48-year- Capone's condi-
ton came after hope had been
virtually abandoned and the last
sacraments of the Catholic Church
administered as he lay in coma.
The doctor said the rally began
unexpectedly and Capone tried to
talk, but was silenced and made
to relax.
DR.. Phillips. who has treated the
former gang leader since he was re-
leased after serving seven and one
half years imprisonment for income
tax evasion, said Capone was strick-

Montgomery Council
INonpartisan Election
lis Proposed in Bill
By J. B. Zotmon
Stor Sioff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. PA bill tt
exempt Montgomery County from
provisions of the Lindsay Act, which
prohibits nonpartisan election of q
county council in any county hav-
ing charter form of government
was to be introduced today in the
House by the all-Republican Mont
gomery delegation.
The group also was to submit q
bill eliminating the position OF
supervisor of school property in the
county.
Guide on Future Voting Seen.
The bill to repeal portion of the
Lindsay Act is expected to deter
mine the chances of passage in the
predominantly Democratic House
of future major measures put for
ward by the Montgomery delegation
Present party representation in the
House consists of 81 Democrats and
36 Republicans.
Members of the Montgomery
County delegation expressed the
hope. however, that their bill, while
admittedly a controversial one
would not be voted on along party
lines as it is purely local in scope.
They pointed out that Democratic
delegations from other counties will
think twice. about opposing the
measure since they may need help
In putting over their own bills.
In addition, Anders r. Lostrand
jr., chairman of the Montgomery
County group, said delegates from
other areas have expressed "sympa-
thy" with the bill.
Lee Is Criticized.
The Montgomery County delega-
tions decision to introduce the bill
today was accompanied by state
ment from the group sharply criti-
cizing E. Brooke Lee, county Demo-
cratic leader, for his action Monday
night in placing on delegates desks
an appeal to vote against such a
measure.
Members of the Montgomery dele
CATION recalled that the proposed
county charter defeated in 1914 con-
tanned a provision for non-partisan
election of county council. They
charged that the Lindsay Act was
passed the following year by the
Legislature to prevent such pro-
vision becoming law If charter
proposing non partisan elections was
approved by the voters.
The Montgomery County Charter
Board now is drafting proposed
charter to be voted on in the 1S48
general election. 1t is not yet known
whether a non-partisan election pro-
vision will be included in the charter.
