Maryland U. Class Makes Tour of Two D. C. > Projects. Progress made in cleaning up Wash ington's 200 inhabited alleys was ex plained to a Maryland University class In housing yesterday during a tour conducted by John Ihlder, executive officer of the District Alley Dwelling Authority, and Homer J. Smith, archi tect. The class, composed of teachers of home economics who have been study ing slum conditions in various sec tion* of Maryland, visited two com pleted housing projects—one on Hop kins place near L street southeast, where 22 families are established, and the other on W street, where a new three-story apartment house houses SO families. The task of cleaning up the city’s alleys has cost between >600.000 and $900,000 since the work started in November, 1934, but much has been , accomplished. Planned to take 10 years, the entire cost of the project was estimated at $9,000,000, Unimproved Houses Seen. To illustrate what the Alley Au thority has done, the class was taken by bus through some of the alleys whirh have not yet undergone "face lifting" treatment. At Hopkins place, where recondi tioned houses rent from $13.50 to >15 50 a month and new ones from $25 to $26.50, Ihlder described the cost of the project and its use in demonstrat ing the feasibility of low-cost housing. The rentals, he pointed out, do not represent subsidies, since these costs cover insurance, upkeep, overhead, taxes and 3 per cent on the Authority's Investment. Three, hundred applicants tried to get homes \n the W street apartments. Ihlder told the sightseers, but the 30 families now living there were selected after they hsd convinced the Authority they had been good tenants elsewhere and possessed "good-neighbor" qual ities. Many From One-Room Homes. Ihlder said the number of applicants emphasized the situation facing col ored families who are trying to find homes in Washington. Most of the tenants came from one room, although their income was large enough to pay lor more. The rent at. the apartments is $25. >32.50 and $35 for two, three and four rooms, respectively. Ihlder said the incomes of the ten ants at Hopkins place range from re lief to as high as $1,600, while those at W street vary from $1,500 up. The party also visited a third hous ing project on Twenty-fourth street between G and H, where 24 units of two stories will be constructed. The way also is being cleared for a fourth . project in the Southwest section. Since the authority started work 30 alleys have been cleared. Some of them have been turned into parking places, while in others garages and workshops are being operated. COMMUNITY CENTERS PLAN SPECIAL EVENTS Doll Show.

Daly Tells of Kidnaping. Daly, back in his office at 1319 Wisconsin avenue today, told the story of the kidnaping. "I thought when he walked up to my car on Pennsylvania avenue that it was all a joke." the victim said “I didn't even think he had a real pistol until I saw that he meant business." Daly drove the car around the city and later to North Beach, while Mar shall, according to Daly, sat in the back seat and kept him covered with a pearl-handled revolver. "First, he asked me where I lived," Daly said. "He was going to order me to take him to my home so he could ' change his clothes. He changed his mind, though, and said he was going to rob the Hangar Club. I was to go into the place, with him behind me. However, I talked him out of that. Then he wanted to go up Fourteenth street and see if he couldn't hold up some liquor stores. His last order was to drive to North Beach, where, he said, he had a friend he wanted to see.' Daly said Marshall told him at North Beach that "I guess I'm crazy to turn you loose over here—I ought to blow your brains out or you'll tell it when you get back.” Several times, Daly recounted, "I thought I was done for.” Passed Police Cars. The automobile passed several police cars in driving about the city. "I couldn't even get a signal to them,” Daly said. The candy store operator returned to Washington from North Beach at 6 a m. yesterday after "pretending to the man that I wouldn't turn him In to the police.” Daly said he delayed reporting the kidnaping to police because he "had to go to Falls Church and get the folks back into town.” On his way through Washington, returning home. Daly stopped at a restaurant near his store and told the restaurant proprietor of the incident. The police learned of it through the proprietor and were waning iui uaiy w urn jir cninr ua^iv from Falls Church. Police said today that Marshall was arrested here September 9, 1936. on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and hold-up and robbery. The concealed weapon charge was nolle prossed in court and the hold-up and robbery count was reduced to simple : assault. Marshall was sentenced to I one year in jail.

LABOR ACT CKE BACKED IN SENATE Vandenberg Defends His Proposals in Reply to Attack by Green. By the Associated Press. Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, replying to William Green’s criticism of his proposed amendments to the Wagner labor law, said today they were “calculated to protect the sound progress which organized labor has made” under the law. Vandenberg made his reply in a let ter to the American Federation of Labor president. He submitted the letter to the Senate. Green’s attack on the amendments was made in a letter to Democratic Leader Barkley, which was read to the Senate Wednesday during considera tion of the Vandenberg amendments. Green’s criticisms, Vandenberg said, were “based on a complete misappre hension of the purport of my proposed amendments, or else the amendments themselves are most ineptly phrased." "I deny." he wrote Green, "that they Rre a ‘bold attempt'—or any other kind of an ’attempt’—'to restrict the free dom of self-organization of workers’ or to ‘nullify the effectiveness of dem ocratic self-government of unions,' as charged by you. Furthermore. I re spectfully submit that this bitter in dictment is in no degree borne out by your own bill of particulars.” He took up Green's criticisms one by one. He said his proposed injunc tion against "threats, intimidation, co ercion or physical violence” in "in ducing or compelling” union member ship was based on a belief that “such things are intolerable in a country of liberty under law.” To Green’s statement that the unfair labor practices outlined in the amend ment would “fall little short of the example set by Fascist Germany,” Vandenberg replied that “that is the exact antithesis of Fascist Germany because it strikes for the individual po litical liberty of the individual worker.” Hhe Michigan Senator insisted the philosophy behind his amendments “points the way to sympathetic cor rections of demonstrated weaknesses which, if unchecked and unchanged, may unfortunately invite radical re prisals which neither one of us would welcome.” “I accept without reservation.” Van denberg said, “the new American con cept of statutory collective bargain ing.” 60-DAY TERM IMPOSED For the twelfth time, Eddie Bean, colored, was convicted today before Police Court JudRe John P.

"No!" Cranborne answered. “In ad dition to the Anglo-Italian declaration itself, assurances given by the Italian government regarding the integrity of the territories of Spain which accom pany that declaration have more than once been renewed and most recently in the last few days.” Four Generations Seated in chair: Mrs. Ray Anonstein. 23, and her son, Arthur Anonstein. 1.
