Finishing the first week Of
his vacation in the Capital, a
Washington Times reporter
tells the story of one Of, the
biggest days Of the holiday.
He began the week with
$1OO and still has a substan-
tial portion of his bankrOIl
with which to make the finish.
By THE VACATION REPORTER
With the Girl Friend off from
the job all day yesterday we
Splurged and spent the day with
the millionaires and celebrities.
It's that way when the G. F. is
along.
Her boss, who has been reading
these stories in The Times, told
her she could take a day off
from the office and see how
much of what's left of my 500
she could spend. I suppose he's
a good guy (she says he isl, but
he certainly has mean ideas at
times.
But the whole day only cost
$3.50 so I haven't any kick. And
I went places I'd never have the
nerve to tackle by myself.
She had a bit of puttering to
do around home in the morning
SO we didn't get under way un-
til nearly noon. I put in the
morning overhaullng the flivver
with the idea of a jaunt today
down in Virginia, unless the G.
F. has another idea,

I found her all dolled up and
with the Shorehan very definite

that's where the high-hats hang
out and she wanted to look 'em
over. Oh well, was kind Of
curious myself. I like to look at
the swellS myself once in while.
I don't reach the society col
umns (that is not often) but she
is always talking about this dip
lomat or that debutante and I
was interested to see what they
look like.
We arrived in time for lunch.
They have a special luncheon for

room which is quite a place. All

GO.SNELL
NOMINATION
IN DOUBT
Land Grant Issue on Parkway
Project Apt to Become the
Big One in Coming Campaign

The first wave Of approval
which greeted the issuance Of an
executive order by President
Hoover permitting Federal en-
ployees to run for county offices
in Arlington has begun to sub.
side. In its place there Is a feel
ing Of resentment against Fed
eral employees participating in
county government.
It was learned today that sew
eral delegations to the Repub-
hcan county convention, which
will recOnvene June "a, to make
nominations for the board Of
commissioners, will strenuOuSly
oppose the nomination Of Fred
A. GOsnell, chief Of the pubIica-
tiOnS division Of the Census Bu-
reau, for membership on the
board Of commissioners.
Assured Of Selection
When the convention recessed
Friday night, Gosnell, whose
name had been placed before the
convention, was almost assured
Of the nomination.
His record, ability and eff
cheney are well known throughout
the county.
Since that time. however, a
strong opposition has developed
based upon a twofold assump-
ton: First, that a Federal en-
ployee who spends most Of his
time in the District of Columbia
should not be selected as a
county official, and, second, tlN1t
with the Federal Government at
tempting to secure land in Ar
1ington county for a parkway.
Federal employees should not be
placed upon the governing board
which must eventually pass upon
the transfer Of land.
Land Grant Tangle
In the event this issue comes
out into the open, as it threatens
to do, the question Of granting
land along the Potomac to the
Federal Government for the pur-
pose Of building . parkway may
become the outstanding issue of
the approaching campaign mas
much as the project is heartily
supported In some quarters and
violently opposed in other
quarters.

 THIRST REVENGE

LOS ANGELES, April g. (P) = That gangland does not hesitatae to enter hospitals in it's bloody thirst for revenge against it's kind was shown when a nurse at the Hollywood hospital told the sher- if she drove out two armed lner who apparently intended to finish Joseph Ardezzoni, patient.
 Ardezzoni was shot and left for dead on the same night few weeks ago that James Basile was slain in a liquor racket war on Downey Road. Since then he has been on the dangerous list at the hospital while police and the sher- ifs office spurred by the demands of business men to wipe out the underworld warfare, have secured the country for the alleged would be murderers.
 The nurse, who was attending Ardezzoni, said two swarthy nleu entered the hospital through the rear door and were next seen standing in a sunroom across from the ward where the wounded man lay on his cot.
 Asked their business, one gruffly replied, we are looking around" 1" He carried a gun in his coat DOC ket.
 The nurse demanded their names and reason for their appearance and when she received only eva sive answers, she ran to a nearby telephone and notified the sheriff's office. The gangsters, she said, moved forward as if to attack her, but changed their minds when she showed no fear of them and turn ing they hurried out of the hosplt- al.

FAVORS TAXRA|SE
 INSTEAD !OANS ID COVER DEFICIT
PRESSURE FOR FUNDS IS TER RIFTC," SAYS SENATOR
 BINGHAM

WASHINGTON, April g. (tP) IT Opposing views of the Majority of Republican leaders, Senator Hiram Bingham, member of the Senate Finance Committee, declared in favor of increasing taxes to meet the s70o,0oo,0o0 deficit instead of making loans to cover it.
 Nuisance taxes should be put in- to effect; automobiles should be taxed and persons making smaller incomes should be made to pay some levies in order to bring home the fact that the government is spending extravagantly and that these extravagances must be met out of taxes, Senator Bingham as- serted.
 The Senator declared that there would be less extravaganza on the part of Congress if the costs of the government were carried by the people generally and not levied on a small part of the population and on corporations.
 He said, Pressure on the appro- priation committee for additional funds is terrific. How are we to meet it? It seems to me that the surest way to curb governmental extravaganza is to increase the number of taxpayers, even tho they pay only small amount in- to the Federal Treasury and to restore some of the disagreeable taxes which tell voters in unmis- takeable terms-that the govern ment is spending their money"

FORTY MILES I0F NEW TRAILS BE CONSTRUCTED
 IN FOREST THIS YEAR


 During the years which have been slowly or speedily passing by, whatever the point of view, there have been constructed within the Chugach National Forest, this area, and up to December 31, 1880, to- tai of 115 miles of trails construct ed
 But this figure will take sud- den jump this year because 40 miles of new trails are on the pro- gram of construction for this sea- son, besides the vast amount of reg ular maintenance throughout this forest district.
 A WONDERFUL REGION
 The new projects, said Ranger Sherman, in Seward for few days purchasing supplies, etc., consist of the completion of the the Kenai Lake Russian Lake trail which work was started last summer and which, when completed, will open up a vast country to recreation, prospecting and general travel as well as providing means for enter ing the country quickly with fire equipment for the suppression of forest fires.
 This trail begins at Kenai Lake, opposite Porcupine Island, at what is known as the Ohnhauser cabin and traverses the Beautiful Cooper Lake country to Upper Russian Lake, a country heretofor seldom travelled due to the inaccessibility
 THIRD SEASONS WORK
 Next will be the extension of the Juneau Creek trail that has been under construction for the past two seasons. This trail will event. ually connect Lower Kenai Lake with Turnagain Arm at Hope. The purpose of this trail is for forest development and protection It opens up a large country at the head of Resurrection Creek, Little Indian, and the Chickaloon head waters.
 PARADISE VALLEY TRAIL Next will be the opening up of a very new country to the average person with the construction of a trail into Paradise Valley from the end of the North Fork of Snow River.
 This trail will be approximately 12 miles in length and will open a comparative new country to prospecting. recreation and hunt ing, as we'll as furnish means of travel in case of fire suppression
 vIRGINIA-WNNER TRAIL
 Next will be the continuation of the Virginia Winner Creek trail probably into the head of 20- Mile River.
 All the trails that have been constructed require a certain amount of maintenance each year to keep them in good serviceable condition which neceSsitates the services of small crew on this work alone. THREE TRAIL CREWS
 There will be three trail crews working on construction from about June l until October 1.
 During the fire season the trail crews are strategetically placed so that they are available for fire suppression at all times. All of them are given some training in fire suppression before assuming their jobs and the foreman are all experienced men at the game as well as trained men in trail con- Struction.
