Hearings 911 the half-and-half plan for District appropriations will be re sumed tomorrow morning . before tha House District committee, members of the citisens' committee on fiscal relations resuming testimony in fa vor of the plan. Theodore W. Noyes. who, with Hen ry B. P. Macfarland. presented figures Friday to show that the District is! well taxed, will continue his testl mony before the District committee. Chairman Macfarland. of the citizens' committee, said that Congress lis- j tened "very attentively" to the ar- ' guments advanced by him for retain ing the present half-and-half plan. | This provides for an equitable dl-1 vision of expenses for the District be tween the Federal government and the municipal government, both ap propriating equal amounts to cover the indebtedness. ? Chairman Macfarland presented statistics in support of his contention that citisens of Washington are not under-taxed, as alleged. It is expect ed thst Mr Noyes will continue the argument along similar lines tomor row. Chairman Mapes, of the House Dis trict Committee, has introduced a bill proposing to abolish this equitable system of appropriations and it Is not that his stand will easily be shaken.

GIANT PROVED ODD BATTLER Diminutive Opponent Complains Hugging. Not Wallops, Featured War Risk Passage at Arms. 1 r For indulging in a hugging match near l*afayette Square, two officials of the War Risk Auditing Depart ment. Arlington Building, were ar rested by an unsentimental police man. In Police Court yesterday, when Clerk Campbell Howard called the names of the defendants, a little man responded to the cognomen of William Wolverton. The other, man. James N. Anderson, failed to answer roll call and his collateral was declared forfeited. Wolverton acted as his own attorney and told the court that Anderson, who is "lar?e and an athlete." started the trouble in the office and chal lenged Wolverton to a fistic combat outside. "I informed him that I was not In training for a fight, but would not duck the situation if Anderson started trouble. Government guards escorted Anderson from the building. I came acrosa him later near Lafayette Park and he started for me. He was not the fighting mam I thought he was. for he just grabbed hold of me and embraced me. Then I embraced him. No blows were struck and we still wero fugging, but not lovingly, when the policeman came and arrested us. I was surprised that he did not try out his pugilistic abilities on me as I expected." Th* ease against Wolverton was dis missed. WEATHER CONDITIONS. FORECAST FOR TODAY AVD TOMORROW. District of Columbia.

I House advocates of universal mil itary training will resume their fight to have/this olicy made a feature of the nation's permanent military pro to have this policy made a feature of the Military Affairs Committee, re turn* to the Capitol. Mr. Kahn. who Is now at his home In San Francisco, is not expected back until after the Christmas recess. Consideration of the military train ing subject by the House committee recently was suspended temporarily, that the members might devote all their attention to the army re-organ isation bill, which the Republican Steering Committee ordered rushed out. It was made plain when this was done, however, that the laying aside of the training,feature was not to be construed as an indication that the committee had discarded that phase of the military problem. Representative Anthony, of Kansss. acting chairman* of the committee.; sa'd yesterday that it is the purpose | of the committee to take up unlver- j sal training as a separate proposition immediately the army reorganization bill Is out of the way. The matter | then will be preased until finally ap proved or defeated in the House. The committee is divided oil the question. Chairman Kahn is the lead-{ er of the enthusiastic advocates of j universal training and Representative Dent. Democrat, of Alabama, former, chairman of the committee, heads a group of out-and-out opponents of the ! plan. Republicans and Democrats | alike are Included'in both groups. j Fisher Will Explain His Stabilized Dollar The board of representatives of Federal Employes Union.
