APPEAL NOTED
BEFORE FINE

ROCKVILLE, Md. Jan. s.,
Martin j. Walsh, of 1905 New.
York Ave. N. w., makes instanta-
neous decisions, as those who
were in Police Court Saturday
can vouch. Mr.. Walsh had en-
tered a plea of not guilty to
transporting and possessing liquor
with intent to sell. He did not
take the stand in his own behalf
but listened attentively to what
Officer Charles Barnes testified
about the arrest.
Just before Judge Charles w.
Woodward pronounced sentence
upon the man States Attorney
Robert B. Peter, jr., asked him if
he had anything to say. Mr..
Walsh replied that he wanted to
appeal the case. Mr.. Peter,
wreathed in smiles, suggested that
the defendant wait until he be
found guilty before noting an
appeal.
It wasn't long before Mr.. Walsh
had that opportunity, for Judge
} woodward gave him a fine Of
5000 and costs or six months in
the Maryland House Of Correc-
ton. The judge also ordered that
the Cadillac coupe be sold by the
chief Of police,

CLARENDON, Va, Jan. 5.
With both Fairfax County and
the City of Alexandria indicating
that they will comply with the
provisions Of the Bah act, which
creates a parking and planning
commission for northern Vir-
ginia, the compliance of Arling-
ton County officials is all that
is necessary to assure the con-
struction Of the George Washing
ton Memorial Parkway in Airing
ton and Fairfax counties.
The chief purpose Of the Ball
act, passed by the State legis-
lature at it's last session, is to
provide a commission of Virgin
ians to cooperate with the Ma
tional Park and Planning Com
mission in carrying out the pro-
visions of the Capper-Cramton
act in so far as they apply to
the State of Virginia.
Although the commission was
to have gone into effect on July
l, 1880, it is the belief of State
Senator Frank L. Ball, author of
the bill, that the failure to ap-
point the commission at that
time does not materially affect
the act.

RADIO WEATHER
REPORTS HIT

Congress has been asked to de-
eide whether radio listeners or air
mail pilots have a superior right
to the air.
The clash came when repre-
sentatives from the Middle West
complained that hourly radio
weather forecasts seriously inter
fere with the receptions Of radio
programs.
Thus far the air mail pilots have
won out. The House Appropr1a-
tionS Committee recommended
funds for enlarging the service,
declining to Icurtail radioed
weather information.
AS q concession to the listeners
in, DR.. Charles F. Marvin, chief OF
the Weather Bureau, promised the
committee an attempt would be
made to change the wave lengths
on which the weather information
is sent, so it will not interfere
with program broadcasting.
