CITIZENS OPPOSE
LICENSE FOR WMAL
Dupont Circle Association Charges
Leese Denied Air to D. G.
Vote Opponents.

Renewal Of the license Of radio sta
ton WMAL should be denied, the Du-
pont Circle Citizens Association con-
tended in a petition filed with the Fed
eral Radio Commission yesterday.
The petition charged M. A. Leese, the
licensee, had denied a request of the
association to be permitted to use his
station to reply to arguments advanced
by proponents of national representa-
ton for the District.
Littlepage & Littlepage, attorneys for
WNAL, informed Chairman Ira E. Rob-
inSon of the commission several weeks
ago that the station is giving time every
other week to the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, of which the Dupont
organization is a member.
obviously it would be impossible, :"
the reply said, Ito throw radio station
open to every one of the 81 citizens as
sociations in the District, each one OF
whom would like to 60 on the air on
some project or other" p.
I'VE have given a good deal Of thought
to this matter of national representa-
ton for the District Of Columbia" the
letter said. "It simply means giving the
people the right to representatives In
both branches Of Congress and to send
electors to the electoral college, and be-
ing a part OF the Federal Government.
1t is becoming more and more important
each year. Some good people are OPP
posed to IL, just the same as some were
opposed to the independence OF the
colonies, but, as Mr.. Leese advised IN
his letter, it is sponsored by really i'm

murder of Clothilde Marchand, today
was adjourned until tomorrow morning
apparently because OF the illness Of the

adjournment was ordered.
She was taken from the room by the

Strawberries Kept Fresh.

The outstanding development of the
fruit preserving industry is the cold
pack" which has been extensively tested
in the past year or two. 1t has been
found by the packers to be particularly
valuable in the handling of straw
berries. On account of the poor keep
ing qualities of strawberries it has been
heretofore necessary to put them
through the preserving process immedi-
ately upon receipt, which required extra
help and energetic operation Of the
plant, but by the new system it is
possible TO hold them until such time
as is convenient. The berries are placed
in 50-gallon barrels with sugar in the
proportion of one of sugar to four of
berries and then placed in the refrig-
Grating plant. The berries have the
quality of fresh fruit when taken from
the packages. BY reSorting to this
method the berries may be preserved
for the market at such times as when
the other fruit has been disposed OF
and the business Of the plant Is not
under operating pressure. The process
is applicable to other berries as well
but 1t is in the handling of strawberries
that. it is particularly valuable.
At present the new process is avail
able only for those handling the berries
In large quantities, but experiments are
being made by Government scientists
with the hope Of devising small con-
tainer for home use.
