OFFICIALS SPLIT
ON CONTRACTS

The, fight of "non-union" con-
tractors to maintain a foothold in
Federal construction awards has
developed some strong depart
mental backing. it became known
today.
The test case" which may de-
termine the future of these con-
tractors in local construction work
that involving the low bid of
the w. P. Rose Company for
erecting the new tuberculosis ward
at st. Elizabeths Hospital-has
brought wide diff rences of
opinion among officials of the In
terror Department, most of whom
are strongly opposed to granting
any further contracts to this
''non-union" corporation.
Favor Adams Company
The Interior Department heads
favor the award of the contract to
the Adams Construction Com
pany of this city, and are more
firmly convinced than ever that
the acceptance of either the w. P.
Rose or the Virginia Engineering
Company bids would be mistake.
DR.. William A. White. super
intendent of St. EliZabethS Hos
pital, has an entirely different
viewpoint. While he has not
openly champiOned the accept
ance of the Rose bid, 1T was his
Intervention in the controversy

C|CADA AND WIFE
DUE HEREFOR
BRIEF VISIT
In Other Words, Locust Plague
Coming in 1886 After Being
Absent Years and Years

Washington and nearby Mary
land and Virginia face another
deluge of locusts in 1886, the
bureau of entomology of the De-
partment of Agriculture warns,
and gives the warning in good
season, so that those who do
not like the looks or music of
Iocusts will have ample time to
exit elsewhere.
Here IL Years Ago
The city had a visitation from
periodical cicada, or 17-year
locust, in 1919, and he brought
all his kin. It was a swarm.
They buzzed around Washington
their few weeks of life and died
off.
Their children are now tiny
things, in the ground living
among tree roots and growing
up slowly, for it takes II years
for a locust to grow up. Then
little buzzing around and life'S
span is ended, but not before the
lady locust lays a few thousand
eggs in tree twigs which the
parents slit nicely with sharp
wings.
Some at StauntOn
incidentally, the Bureau says,
the swarms of "locusts" which
plagued Egypt in Bible days were
mere grasshoppers, and are still
plaguing not only Egypt but also
many other parts of the world.
There is now a small swarm Of
locusts at Staunton, Va. but they
do little damage, do not stay long.
and otherwise are not as unwel-
come as some humans, observes
the Bureau.

AS the imaginative writer's
would say, another bombshell
has been exploded in the great
Rapidan fishing controversies
controversy which began when
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
E. L. Jahncke formally charged
Ambassador Hugh Gibson with
fishing in one of the ornamental
pools at President HooverS noun
tain camp and catching a rain
bow trout, which turned out to
be Toby" the pet of little Peggy
Anne, the Executives 5-year-old
granddaughter.
Today's development was the
revelation that Mr.. Gibson was
not the first weekend guest at
Camp Rapidan to catch one of
these liver-fed, and, therefore, sa-
cred, fish. Representative Will
R. Wood (RD of Indiana, hard
boiled chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee, was
the first offender, according to
reliable information, and Mr..
Wood is one who prides himself
of his piscatorial ability.
AS Warriors ParIeyed

who was present the weekend,
