THEATER OPERATOR
STRIKE POSTPONED
Second Truce AvertS Action
in Support of Local
Musicians.

Assurance that there will remain
living music" and stage shows in the
Capitals downtown theaters for an
other week at least were given by
musicians and theater owners late yes
terday, following a conference between
the organizations involved in the local
theater dispute In New York.
Sympathy Strike Averted.
The second truce" effected between
the owners and musicians averts for
the second time a projected sympathy
strike by projection machine operators
here, and paves the way for longer ne
gotiations between the projection mems
union and the local theater owners, it
was announced today.
Theater owners were expecting an
agent from the national headquarters
of the projectionists to confer with
them today on the projected sympathy
strike, but this afternoon, A. Julian
Brylawski, president of the Theater
Owners Association here, said no agent
of the projectionists has arrived and
what conversations are being had are
with the local officials Of the projec-
tionists' union.
The projectionists have been under
orders to leave the local picture houses
when the musicians go out, although
they have no fight with the theater
owners and have just signed contracts
at higher pay.
Musicians Locked Out.
Musicians in independent houses not
affiliated with any of the chain theaters,
which comprise for the most part, the
downtown theaters, were locked out of
the theaters Sunday night, but the pro-
lection men are still working at these
houses.
Musicians had no further plans for
negotiations with the theater owners,
they stated today. The union here, ac-
cording TO John z. Birdsell, secretary of
the local union, has received APP
proximately 10000 replies to the straw
vote submitted to Washington theater-
goers to determine the number of Capt.
tai residents who prefer living" music
TO the canned" music in the theaters.

GOLF COURSE WORK
TO START MONDAY
Citizens Advised to Remove
Crops From AnacoStia
Park Area.

Washingtonians who have done their
gardening on the public domain in the
region northeast of the Pennsylvania
Avenue Bridge at Anacostia Park and
still have crops standing there were adj
vised today by F. w. Hoover, general
manager of the Welfare and Recrea-
tional Association of Public Buildings
and Grounds, Inc, 10 take away any
thing deemed of value Immediately.
The reason for this, he explained, is
that start will be made on construc-
ticn of the $50, 900 nine-hole golf course
in Anaeostia Park on Monday morning
and the ground must be cleared by
then.
The contract for completion of the
golf course had been awarded TO o. B.
Fits of Clarendon, Va. supervisor of
the course and green's of the Columbia
Country Club. Flowing of the erstwhile
public gardens will start on Monday
morning and the green's viii be seeded
this Fall Seeding of the fairways is
contingent upon the weather, but Mr.,
Hoover and his associates in the asso-
citation hope to have the completed
course turned over to their jurisdiction
by the contractor about May next.
Inc dHeCleQ area II cOillC At1oV ACNe
northeast Of the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge in Anacostia Park and extends
some 800 feet easterly from the Ana
costa River and embraces some so
acres of land.
Under this program. the whole area
given over to the public gardens will
not be affected at this time, as only
those who took the gardens this year
with the understanding that only early
crops would be planted, fall within the
ruling of Mr. Hoover. He said today
that these people were given notice
that they would have to vacate by
September !, so that now they have
had more than two weeks beyond this
time.
The public gardens adjacent to the
Benning Bridge at Anacostia Park VIII
not be involved in the forthcoming con-
struction work, as it will be some time
before that area will be actively inn
proved as park land by the Office of
Public Buildings and Public Parks.

CAMPBELL RELEASE
ACTION is DELAYED
Hearing Saturday on Merits
of District Indictment to BE
Basis of Developments.

The effort to obtain the release Of
Herbert M Campbell, Alexandria, Va,
real estate man, who is under indict-
ment for the murder of Mary Baker,
was held in allegiance today and indica-
tions were that further developments
will hinge upon the result of hearing
to be held Saturday in Alexandria, when
Federal Judge d. Lawrence Groner will
be asked to rule on the question Of
whether Campbell shall be removed to
Washington to face trial.
Charles Henry Smith of Alexandria,
chief of counsel for Campbell, said to-
day he was considering attacking the
indictment under which the man is
held as being invalid, but had not ar
rived at decision.
Wants Early Trial.
Smith said his principal interest was
to obtain an early trial for his client.
Should Mr.. Campbell be ordered re-
moved to the District, we probably
would seek an immediate arraignment
in order that plea might be entered
Then we would ask for his release
under bond. Should a trial sometime
during the month of October seem
likely, it is improbable that further
consideration WOULD De given at JtllS
time to the indictment
I'VE are anxious that there be no
further delay because we wish to prove
once and for all that Mr. Campbell is
innocent. We have an abundant
amount of evidence and will have no
dificulty whatsoever in clearing his
name"
Cites Three Reasons.
Mr.. Smith cited three reasons which
he said convinced him the indictment
returned more than a month ago by
District of Columbia grand jury is
worthless on its face. They are:
/. That the case was investigated by
a Summer grand jury" or an inquisi-
torial body which the defense contends
had not been provided for legally.
2. That the indictment was returned
by the grand jury to Chief Justice A.
A. Wheat, instead of to Associate
Justice William Hitz both of the. Dis
trict Supreme Court.
8. That the law provides for seIec-
ton of grand juries by the jury COM
while as a matter of fact 1.-The
present grand jury was not chosen in
this method"

SCHOOL LOCATION
PROTEST is FILED
Architect and Citizens Differ
on Construction of School
in Chevy Chase.

Protests against the proposed location
of the eight-room school building to be
erected at Northampton street and
Broad Branch road, in Chevy Chase,
has been filed with school authorities,
and petition has been made for an OPP
portunity to press objections at the next
meeting of the Board OF Education by
representative civic organizations of
that community.
AS planned by Albert L. Harris, mu-
nicipal architect, the new school will
face directly south on Northampton
street. The Chevy Chase civic group,
which was largely responsible for OBJ
tanning the 11-acre tract, contends the
school should be faced on Broad Branch
road and are determined to press their
support for the change.
In a written statement to the Board
of Education the change was suggested
for reasons that by facing the building
on Broad Branch road the school would
have large grounds; opportunity for
elaborate landscaping would be afford
ed: all but the north rooms would re-
ceive Midwinter light; more ground
would be available for play space; only
one parcel is not in public ownership,
whereas, on the east of the proposed
improved residential
This protest was signed by j. Francis
Moore, chairman, New Schools Com
mittee, Citizens Association of Chevy
Chase; Arthur Adelman, president of
the Chevy Chase Citizens Association;
William A. Jump president Broad
Branch Section, Home and School Asso-
citation, and Pyke johnson, president,
Home and School Association of Chevy
Chase, D. G. Representatives of these
organizations will present further OBJ
jections to the Southampton street
fronting of the proposed school at the
next meeting of the Board of Education
which is now awaiting presence of a
quorum. 1t is possible a sufficient
number of members will be in the city
by tomorrow afternoon. The building
under discussion is the initial Broom
unit of proposed 16-room and audi
torium building of the general type
now being erected all over the city.

pected to Win Contract for Vir-
ginia Slope Work.

The Arlington Memorial Bridge Com
mission, of which President Hoover Is
the chairman, had before it today for
study bids of dozen engineering firms
seeking to obtain the contract for grad
ing the parkway to the memorial
entrance to Arlington National Gene
terry. in the program of carrying west
ward the Arlington Memorial Bridge
project on the Virginia side Of the Po-
tomac River.
While the bids are now being digested
indications are that Warren F. Brenizer
Co, a local firm which offered to do
the work for S27132, and was the low
est bidder, will likely be awarded the
contract. Washington, Baltimore, Nor
folk, Dayton, Ohio, and Mechanicsville,
Md, firms offer to do the work. The
contracting figures ran all the way up
to S57,810.
The work calls for excavation of the
Virginia slope leading up to Arlington
National Cemetery from the Boundary
Channel Bridge of the Arlington Memo
rial Bridge project so that the new
parkway will have an easy grade to the
cemetery.
