House Reporters
Led Into Error by
New Crew Haircut
By the Assoeiatsd Press

Official reporters of debate in
the House seldom make mistakes
in identifying memberS-but q
crew haircut evidently threw
them last Friday.
The Congressional Record
quotes Representative Holt, Re-
publican. of California, who has
worn a crew haircut since his
days in the Marine Corps. as
asking question or two about
mining during debate on q bill
to create a small business ad-
miniStration.
Mr.. Holt, who has no mining
in his Los Angeles County dis
trict, did q little investigating.
The questions, he found. were
asked by Representative Rhodes,
Of Arizona, who came to Con-
gress wearing his hair fairly
long, but decided on a crew hair
cut last week.
Both Representatives are
freshmen.

Bill 10 Hospita|ize
Addicts Awaits Only
Amendment Accord

The widely-sponsored bill to
hospitalize the DISTRICTS dope
addicts was expected to jump
its last hurdle and head for the
White House later this week.
The House-passed bill was ap-
proved quickly by the Senate
yesterday afternoon. It now goes
back to the House for action on
the amendments added by the
Senate District Committee.
Representative Miller, Repub-
lican, of Nebraska, sponsor of
the House measure, said today
he will move to accept the Sen
ate amendments without the
necessity Of a conference on the
bill. He said he already has
cleared that procedure with
Chairman Simpson of the House
District Committee.
Agreed When Suggested.
He pointed out that he had
sat in on the Senate District
Committee hearing at which the
amendments were suggested and
had agreed to them at that time.
He expressed confidence that the
House would go along with the
changes, none Of which was
major.
The measure, strongly urged
by The Star, provides compulsory
treatment for dope addicts under
a court commitment. The addict
would be notified to appear in
court, after statement was filed
alleging he was a drug user. He
would be examined by two doc
tors, one of whom would be a
psychiatrist. If the court de-
termined the subject was a drug
user, he could be committed to
an institution until cured. Super
vision for two years after release
also is provided.
Blow to Dope Traffic.
In answer to questions raised
in the Senate yesterday, Senator
Beall. Republican, of Maryland,
sponsor of the Senate bill, said
the measure would take away the
potential customers of the dope
peddlers and would help elimi-
nate the drug traffic.
Bills authorizing the United
States Public Health Service to
admit dope addicts committed by
the courts in the District and the
States are now pending in the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee. Passage of the Public
Health Service measure is con-
sidered essential to make the
disqualification bill work. ,

Pass-and-Cash
Transit Fare
Discussed Here
PIun Used in Other
Cities Studied to Nee,
New D. c. Increase

Use Of a combined pass and
cash fare is under study in con-
nection with transit rate hear
ings here.
The Capital Transit Co. is
seeking to drop the present un-
limited weekly pass, to increase
the straight cash fare to 20 cents
and to sell five tokens for 95
cents.
At yesterdays session of the
Public Utilities Commission hear
ing on the request, Chairman
Robert e. Mclaughlin asked a
transit company witness to look
into fares in other cities where
passengers buy permits and add
q cash fare for each ride.
Robert E. Harvey, transit vice
president and controller, said
that Cincinnati has a 75-cent
permit with which a rider pays
10 cents for each ride.
% NcuCS IN SC. LOUIS
In st. Louis. the permit costs
IS cents and the additional fare
is 10 cents. In Kansas City,
the permit costs $1.25 and the
additional fare is 5 cents.
Mr.. Harvey said, however, he
did not believe these transit per-
mits would produce enough rev.
enue, and that they were sub
ject to the same abuses as the
weekly passes here.
Mr.. Mclaughlin asked him to
be prepared for cross examina-
ton on the subject later.
The hearing was in recess
today until a date not yet fixed.
Meanwhile, the commissions
hired expert, Edward A. Roberts
OF New York, an engineering
consultant. will go over the testi-
mony thus far and confer with
the commission staff.
WOlfsOn's Salary Rises.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Lloyd B. Harrison brought out
these points in his examination:
Company figures did not con-
slider reductions in service re-
sulting from reduced passenger
loads after the fare increase, nor
the printing cost of weekly
passes or tokens purchased but
not used.
The salary Of Louis e. Wolf
son, chairman of the company
board, went up from $25, 900 to
$4,000 a year although he has
moved out of the city and UNDER
taken executive duties in other
firms elsewhere.
Riders were not given the
benefit in the fare structure of
a SO million tax refund received
by the company in 1946 as a re-
suit of the accelerated deprecia-.
ton allowance which the Gov
ernment permitted during the
war years.
Mr.. Harvey said that the
riders had the benefit of new
equipment purchased by the tax
refund.

7 Fun-Loving Children Who
Have Never Been Swimming

Summer really hasn't arrived'
yet, but it already is sitting in
the Yardley'S two-room apart
ment.
They have tried to get another
place. but nobody seems to want
to take a family with seven
children-at least not for what
the YardleyS can afford to pay.
It isn't so bad during the day
when the kids are out playing.
On hot night it is hard to get
a good nights rest with nine
people sleeping in two rooms.
Mr.. and Mrs. Yardley and two
week-old Ernestine sleep in the
combination bedroom dining
ROOM kitchen. There are two
beds in the living room. One is
for Dorothy. Is, Betty, 3, and
f1ve-year-old George. John, jr,
10; Willett, 9, and Bernard, 6,
share the other.
If the three oldest boys could
go to camp this summer, things
wouldn't be so bad for awhile.
But that costs money-a rare
item around the Yardley home.
In a good week, If there isn't
any rain, Mr.. Yardley brings
home about $50 from his wreck
ing company job. There haven't
been many good weeks lately.
Out Of that salary. Mrs. Yardley
manages to pay the $15-a-week
rent, the gas and electric bill and
food. The grocery bill last week
was $25. >..,.-.
That doesn't leave very much
for clothing and, certainly, moth
ing for summer camp.
IF the children need clothes
or medicine, my husband bor-
rows money from his boss on
Saturday" Mrs. Yardley ex-
planned. "But he just has to pay
it back the next Friday when he
gets paid. Then he has to bor-
row right back the following day
to meet expenses again.
"We would like to move, but
we can't get a place. They keep
saying we have too many chill
dren. We have to move soon.
When it rains, it comes right in
the house.
"And Dorothy is getting pretty
big. She ought to have room
by herself. She's a big help
to me-"
A wide grin came over the
boys faces when they heard
about summer camp. None of
the children has been in SWIM
ming, except for a little wading
In the pool in front of Union
Station. None of them has ever
been to a camp. And they have
only one chance to go.
That's If you help through the

Do you believe in Ghosts? Well,
whether you do or not the legend
of beautiful MordingtOn Mansion
presents an interesting picture of
things supernatural. Located north
east of Harrington on the Murder
kill River, it has become the guild

that of Murderkill Mansion, upon
which the Junior Glass of Green
wood High School has constructed
their own venture into the super

munity which has nothing unusual
in its background you should see
what can be found in your own
backyard thru the medium of ina

Drive past MOrdingtOn; see this
lovely mansion set back behind
tall stately pines; stop and listen
to the incessant rush of falling

the hill; listen to the rustic of the

New Castle:
Jim FitzsimmOns: This is great
news for sportsmen and sports
/ women everywhere. After all, the
tillies and mares are the producers
of the future actors'-the horses
that make the show. People will be
encouraged to buy fillies and hang
on to them.
Oscar White: Great things for
the mares, who always had to run
against the colts in the 100000
stakes. The New Castle winner will
be worth more as a brOod-mare,
too"
George M. OdOm: "It should be
mighty good race and they
couldn't have added all that money
to a better one"
HOratiO Luro: "The New Castle
will now afford fillies and mares
around the country a true champ
iOnship test. with both the purse
value and distance ideal for such
ranking"
Preston Burch: Splendid. I'm
sure Mrs. (DOdge) Sloane (whose
BroOkmeade Stable horses are
trained by Burch) and other owner
breeders are delighted.
w. F. MulhOlland: It's not only
a big incentive to breeders, but
owners of even a fair filly will be
encouraged to keep training and
racing her after she turns three.
The New Castle winner, will have to
be a good horse, and breeders will
have that in mind"
w. G. Stephens: I've trained
some good mares for WOOdvale
Farm, as you know. The New Cas-
tie will influence owners of mares
to keep them in training and racing
longer"
Frank CatrOne: "At last the fl
lies and mares get a shot at a

last year with Big Mo. 1 sure would
like to win that New Castle, that's
for sure. Who wouldn't?"

purse to $4,000 and doubling the
added money of the Brandywine

A. B. Hancock, Jr., President of
