COURT ORDERS
TRACK MOVED
Justice Daniel W. O’Donoghue
tn United States District Court
has signed a writ of mandamus
directing the Capital Transit Com
pany to remove abandoned street
ear tracks on E Street Northwest,
between Eleventh and Fourteenth
Streets.
The District Commissioners
brought the suit several weeks ago,
complaining that the street sur
faces adjoining the tracks were in
bad repair and pointing out that
they could not be kept in proper
repair unless the tracks were re
moved.
The tracks were abandoned
after the recent rerouting of
street cars.
It was held by the court that
the District Commissioners and
the Public Utilities Commission
had the "implied” power to require
removal of the tracks under the
act of Congress, which gives it the
power to require extensions and
other changes in the street-car
system.

Congress Thrilling
Even Out of Session
Even though it’s only for two*
months, the Daniel S. Earharts,
of Columbus, Ohio, very young
and very handsome, are tremen
dously thrilled with the fact that
they are now members of the
“congressional circle.’’
Representative Earhart Is the
youngest man in Congress—29
years old is tall, slim and hand
some. With him in Washington
is his wife, 28 years old, tall,
slender and pretty.
And they’re taking it all in,
"playing the field,” as Mr. Ear
hart. M. C., puts it, because by
the time January 3 rolls around,
they will be plain Mr. and Mrs.
Earhart, having been Represent
ative and Mrs. Earhart only I
since election day.
Quirk of Fate
By one of the strange quirks
of election procedure. Representa
tive Earhart was elected to Con-!
gress for only a two-month pe
riod. during a time when Con
gress is not in session. "He fills
the unexpired term of the late
Representative Charles V. Truax.
And so his role of Representa
tive is very short indeed, and to
Mrs. Earhart the role of Repre
sentative’s wife is thrilling be
yond anything she has ever ex
perienced. A bride of a year
and a half, she says:
“Dan has been here before,
but this is the first time I’ve
been in Washington, and it’s
marvelous. Everybody is so
nice to us. Why, in Washlng-
> ton, a Representative is impor
tant. He amounts to something.
He gets special privileges and
gets invited to all the best
places.”
Since her arrival in Washing
ton, Mrs. Earhart has learned
that Washington social etiquette
calls for leaving cards at the
homes of the socially elect and;
with the embassies. So she has
left her cards.
“I’d love to be invited to some
embassy parties. Or any kind
of party where there would be
a lot of glitter.”
She has also left her card at
the White House because she is
terribly anxious to meet Mrs.
i Roosevelt. Now she has an in
vitation to a White House tea and
she is very much thrilled about it.
She says also:
“I’ve been informed that this
isn’t the season in Washington,
so I’m trying to convince Dan
that we should stay here until
the season opens. At least until
the inauguration. I hear we’ll
get special seats.”
But “Dan” has a law practice
back home, and he wants to get
back to it as soon as his role of |
Representative ends.
The arrival of two boxes of
franked envelopes was the occa
slon for much excitement in the
Earhart office in the old House
Office Building.
After all, it’s quite a thrill to
send out letters with no postage
—just a fellow’s signature to make
it mailable. •

LUDLOW CALLS'
HOUSE HEARING
II
A prediction that the Federal
budget will be balanced not later
than the fiscal year 1938-39, was
made today by Representative
Louis Ludlow of Indiana, who has
called a meeting of the House ap
propriations subcommittee, of
which he is chairman, for next
Monday, to begin hearings on the
largest of regular supply meas
ures, the Post Office and Treas
ury department bill. These hear
ings will start the appropriating
machinery of Congress.
Representative Ludlow said to
day that the budget could be bal
anced in the coming year, 1937,
were it not for the enormous
amount of money necessary to pay
the interest on money already bor
rowed. He said he anticipated
that there would be a large relief
appropriation necessary and also
expressed the hope that constant
reductions in emergency bureaus
will be effected.
