Bill for Parkway
kayComeUp
Again Thursday
D. C.-BoItimore
Project Runs Into
Fight in House
By Harold B. ROGERS

7 he Washington Baltimore
parkway bill, to which the House
devoted more than three hours
yesterday without reaching final
vote. probably will come up on the
floor again later this week.
House leaders pointed out the
measure has the right of way I'M
der a rule adopted during yes
terday's debate.
Reported out of the House Pub
lie Works Committee by unani-
nous vote, the measure had been
expected to be controversial
on a day when many House mem
bers were out Of the city. But it
provoked long debate and some
bitter attack.
Opponents, principally Repub-
lican, charged the measure had
been scheduled for action by the
House leadership without ade-
quate notice last Friday. Such
an important bill, authorizing $13
million, should not be considered
with so relatively small an attend,
ance, opponents declared. The
bill also was attacked by members
of the economy bloc.
Resorting to quorum calls and
roll calls on votes, the opposition
succeeded in delaying the final
vote until finally. with only 81
members counted on the floor it
was agreed to postpone consid-
GRAFTON of the bill. It then be-
came unfinished business, with
high priority on the program for
the future.
Accused Of "POrk Smell"
Representative Wilson. Repub-
lican, of Indiana. who had made a
bitter attack on the procedure
used in calling the bill up with
out adequate notice" to the mem
bership. said after adjournment
that on a final vote he might
favor the bill, if it were amended
During debate, he charged the
bill "smelled of pork" and should
have been considered as a part
of the big Federal high
ways measure slated also to come
up on the House floor later this
week.
The bill was strongly defended
by Chairman Wilmington of the
House Public Works Committee.
Representative Fallon, Democrat,
of Maryland: Representative Beall,
Republican, of Maryland; Repre-
sentative Dondero. Republican, of
Michigan, and Representative
Sasscer. Democrat, of Maryland.
Proponents explained to the
House that the project had been
started by President Roosevelt
who transferred about So million
from funds of the expiring In
dustrial Recovery Act to the Pub
lie Roads Bureau for develop
ment of the highway as a de-
tense measure.
The Federal project was started
on its southern portion, to con-
meet Washington with Fort
Meade. Md, and other nearby
Federal reservations. MarylanG
authorities agreed to complete the
roadway from Fort Meade to
Baltimore.
8 Miles Completed.
Mr. Fallon insisted the State
would never have built such a
divided parkway with a right of
way 400 feet wide, and a 10O-foot
strip of parkway between the dual
lane highways. except for the Fed
eral request. Maryland, he ex-
planned, has completed about
miles Of the highway from Balti-
more to point below the new
Friendship airport. and by 1852
will complete the rest of the prof.
ect for 5 more miles to Jessup's
road, near Fort Meade.

Capt. Richitt went on leave as

JEWS IN
SPORTS

The recent appearance of the
Harlem Globetrotters in Madison
Square Garden, has created an
enormous demand for the re-
turn of Abe Saperstein's quintet
throughout the East. Conse-
quently, little Abe is frantically
trying to arrange for another ap-
pearance of his laugh-provoking
team in New York City and along
the Atlantic seaboard although he
does much better financially by
keeping his club along the Pacif-
ic coast.
Abe Saperstein is a peculiar in
dividual who takes great pride
in the promotion of his colored
team. True, he has made small
fortune over a period of twenty
years with his aggregation, but
he also passes up lot of money
in order to show his team off in
large cities where his personal
take is small, due to the cost of
promoting games.
For example, recently his take
at Madison Square Garden was
ridiculously small in comparison
to what he could have taken out
in Louisville that same night
where he was originally schedul-
ell to play. Abe changed dates
and arranged to come back to

Louisville later in order to show
off his club in Madison Square
Garden.
The change in dates cost him
$4,000 for one night, but the pro-
moter from Chicago got a great
kick out of turning away 10000
people from the gates of the
Garden. The overflow crowd of
10000 plus thousands who were
fortunate enough to get in have
been clamouring for a return en-
gagement by the Globetrotters.
Madison Square Garden is
booked fairly solid with games fo
the rest of the season and, while
the management might be willing
to arrange for another appear
ance of the boys in March, Abe
prefers to put his quintet in a
smaller arena, if possible. The
expenses will be less and, while
the crowd will be smaller, every
body involved will end up max
ing a few dollars. In the mean
time, some of the New York fans
will have an opportunity of see
ing the Globetrotters on March
fifth when they play in White
Plains, New York.

RCA's earlier color demonstra-
