Dragoman Pass, a narrow gorge,
not at all suitable for motoring.
over this stretch of road an army
escort accompanied the two daring
women, to protect them from
bandits, reported lurking in the
mountains.
Through Macedonia the intrepid
women drivers proceeded, finding
the 900 miles just before they
reached Athens. through Salonika,
the worst of the trip. Here the road
was filled with ruts and made
practically impossible by huge
boulders which had descended from
the mountain-side and which they
were forced to roll out of the way
before they could proceed.
At points these pathways turned
narrow corners on the edge of pre-
cipices and slight swerve would
mean that the dauntless couple
and their car would be dashed to
death on the rocks beneath.
For four miles on the journey,
while the pitiles sun beat down

attacks of dengue fever, which had
the city in its grip. On their re-
covery they drove over similar
roads to Adrionopole. on the Turkish
border, with the intention OF cross

Turkey.
The fact that duty of $500 was

MOORE OPPOSES
OIL PLANT PERMIT
Virginia Representative Is
Against Location of Indus
try at RoSSIyn.
BY LESTER n. INSKEEP,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, December 12.-
Requested for an expression of his
opinion in letter that was written to
him ,by William L. Bragg, chairman of
the Virginia Park and Planning Com
mission, Representative r. Walton
Moore of Virginia today declared his
personal opposition to the location of
the Sun Oil Co. plant on its site in
Rosslyn, between the Lee Highway and
the Potomac River.
In his letter to Representative Moore,
Bragg pointed out that the permit was
issued by the Board of County Super
Visors in "the face of general opposition
by the citizens of the county" His at
tention was also called to a request for
a permit for the erection of a wharf
by the oil company filed with the War
Department. Since the request has not
yet been acted upon, Representative
Moore was asked to exert his influence
to the. end that the permit be not
granted.
Speaks as Citizen.
According to Bragg, Representative
Moore in his reply. stated that while
the final decision did not rest with him
he did not think it improper for him
as private citizen who is greatly in
tereSted in the future of the country
lying on the south shore of the Potomac
to express his individual opinion.
In his opinion, Representative Moore
against the location of a battery of
gasoline tanks at the point suggested.
which would not be offset by any rev.
enue which would result.
Attention is called in his letter to the
fact that he understands that the tanks
would be view of the Key Bridge and
Lee Highway and from residences on
the upper level and would tend to pre-
vent the construction of other homes
in the immediate neighborhood, one
fact being, as he understands, that
there is always more or less danger in
cdent to the infiammable nature of
gasoline, a fact which, he has been in
formed, has caused the location of tanks
to be prohibited in the District of Co
lumbia.
Continuing, he says that it seems
probable the Cramton bill will be passed
by Congress. The bill provides for
contribution by the Federal
toward the development of
the river front of Arlington and Fair
fax Counties, and he is hopeful, Repre-
sentative Moore states in his letter, that
in that event funds can be found to
match the Federal contribution, with
the result of highway and park de-
velopment which would serve to attract
people whose investments would add
largely to the taxable values.
Would Deter Park Plans.
His theory is, he states. that to
carry out the plans of the oil company
would have deterrent effect upon that
Accordingly, it was stated
in the letter, 1t appears to him that In
the question, those affected
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-12-12

are forced to decide whether single
enterprise is to be permitted which
would be injurious to some property
owners and at the same time dis
courage the prospects of realizing the
high expectations which there are now
grounds for entertaining.
Efforts are to made at a special meet
ing of the board OF directors OF the
Arlington County Chamber of Com
merce. which will be held tonight, to
reach a definite conclusion as to the
stand of the chamber on the oil plant
fight. -
Both opponents and proponents OF
the proposition are rushing TO compile
ton their plans with respect 10 the
permit because the matter is to be re-
vived at the next meeting OF the Board
OF County Supervisors. Several mem
b2rs of the board are Rosslyn business
men who are advocating the location OF
the plant there, while it is understood
that there is another group which is
opposed to it. Since the chamber has
not vet taken definite stanI in the
matter It is believed that such action
will be insisted upon at tonlght's meet
ing. which has been called for the sole
purpose of considering the question.
Fight Carried On.
The Sun Oil Co. flight, as well as the
one that is being waged by The Lyon
Village Citizens Association against the
erection of a filling station on the Lee
Highway at Rucker avenue by Mrs.
Marie Clark Bell, are being carried on
despite that the Board of Supervisors
has already overruled the zoning Com
mission and issued permits for both.
Opponents to the latter program believe
that the county governing body was
prohibited under one of their own ordl-
nances from overriding the Zonlng
Commission. If this were held TO be
the case the storage plant would oc-
cupy the same position, it is claimed.

same, and indicated that the previously
established rate of admission was lin no
way a deterrent to the interest possible
to elicit from the public and that the
fairs financial standing in the future
would be needlessly jeopardized by the
permanence of such a change"
Secretary Trundle further stated in
his report that while this years fair
showed small deficit, it being neces-
Sary to borrow $1,700 it was largely due
to the reduced admission and not to
any fault of the fair itself, upon which
no expense was spared, and which was
