Champion of Home Rule
Senator Nicely, one of the
Districts most stalwart home
rule champions. said he would
not give in TO the adminiStra-
ton bill calling on the Pres
ident TO appoint mayor. He
SAID he would continue one Of
his oldest fights for his own
bill providing for an elected
mayor. assembly and school
board for the Capital City.
He promised to introduce
immediately four other pro-
poSalS OF the District Commits
sioners. They would:
Raise the District School
Superintendent'S salary from a
$4,000 base to $4,000 an
nually. City heads count heavily
on Senator Neely'S Decking TO
clear this bill before Super
attendant Hobart NJ. Corning
retTeS in March to benefit his
successor.
Boost school teachers salaries
across the board. The Board Of
Education now is putting final
touches on a pay raise bill to be
forwarded TO Senator Nicely. :.
Reduce from six months to
so days the period in which
claims for damages against the
District Government must be
filed. This measure, drafted by
the Commissioners. would re-
quire persons sueing the Dis
trict for injuries on icy streets
to put in their claims ten days
after the accidents.
Allow the Commissioners to
order unsafe buildings, houses
or walls to be repaired by
municipal officials II owners
refuse Costs then would be
assessed owners.
This last bill. also sent TO
the Hill by the commissioners.
would make the commissioners
rather than the inspector Of
buildings responsible for re-
moving unsafe structures. The
position OF building inspector
was abolished in a recent re-
organization at the District
Building.

he said, ivan Gogh made
each stroke Of the brush with

He demonstrated with his
thumb and a vigor that
seemed to threaten TO wipe
the beard off the copy.
You're getting II too
smooth there" he said.
We went into the room
that is solely devoted TO the
exhibit OF Salvador Dali's
Last Supper Both OF us
noted that he had used the
face OF his wife, so frequently
portrayed in his paintings,
for the face OF Christ.
THAT was a silly thing TO
DO" said Mr.. Robinson.
Next we we're among the
early Picassos OF the blue
period" the harlequin pc
riod" and the classic period. "
Look how sentimental the
man was" said Mr.. Robin

We finished up among the

by the city's sSlm clearance
program.
Last May. Senator Beall and
Representative Hyde Of Mary
land, both Republicans. and
Representative Celler, Demo-
crat of New York. wrote letters
to the board urging special
consideration for these dealers.
The District Commissioners also
took up the problem.
Mr.. Payne said after these
actions that the board might
be able TO alter its handling Of
liquor store applications in
some way so as TO aid the
dealers. Recently. the board
majority. with Mr.. Schollen-
berger dissenting. did adopt .
new policy under which it has
become much harder for citi-
zens groups TO contest liquor
licenses.
Fought by Other Dealers
However. this policy change
apparently did not figure in the
surprise Green decision. since
the only opposition to the Four
tenth street application was
from a group Of other liquor
dealers.
The board in its first ruling
last week. turning down Mr..
Green. said there were already
so many liquor stores in the
vicinity of 1900 Fourteenth
street that allowing Mr.. Green
to move IN would mot be in
the public interest"
Mr.. Green had been pre-
viously turned down on efforts

Capitol street. Upshur street
NV. South Dakota avenue.
