ROSSLYN WHARF
PLANS DRAF TED
Arlington County Officials and
Planning Body Act to
End Controversy.

Plans that are expected to eliminate
definitely the controversy over the
Rosslyn, Va, water front and that viii
result in the construction Of a county
owned and operated wharf on the Viz
ginia shore for the benefit of the bust
ness interests of that area without in
any way interfering with the Federal
Governments George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway projects were gotten
under way yesterday at a luncheon
meeting Of the membership Of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission and the Board of County
Supervisors of Arlington County.
This meeting and the business ac-
complished is believed to have cemented
the relations of the two Jurisdictions to
the extent that an orderly development
of the entire Virginia water front viii
follow in a manner that will be bene-
fetal to all of Arlington County. At
this same meeting plans were gotten
under way for the provision of tenn
porary connections with the new Ar
lington Memorial Bridge that will serve
all sections Of the county until such
time as Congress provides for the build
ing of the first link Of the Lee Boule-
ward.
Plan to Beneflt AL
It was agreed between the two bodies
that the development of Arlington
County's commercial water front should
be taken over by the county authorities
for the benefit OF all instead of for one
concern as was proposed in the case OF
the Sun OIL Co.
First, 1t was revealed by Supervisor
B. NJ. rIedrick, who participated in the
meeting, q retaining wall would be
built at about 100 feet from the shore
and then channel would be dredged

The District Commissioners today
abolished angle parking throughout the

POLITICAL ALLIANCE
FEARED AS BACK OF
TRADE PACT
AuStro- German Project DOM
mates Pan-European
Economic Meeting.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 24-The economic
union projected by Austria and Ger
many today stole the thunder Of the
Pan-European Committee meeting to
consider further phases of Aristide
Brands scheme for an economic union
of all Europe
Members of the BRAND Committee
assembled in an atmosphere Of some
distrust of the proceedings at Berlin
and Vienna, and of suspicion that the
projected Austro-GeTman accord is the
first step toward political union Of
the two countries in violation Of the
peace treaties and the Geneva protocol
Of 1922.
The text of the accord, which is sub
ject to the ratification Of the two Par
liaments, was made public In Berlin
and telegraphed here. Its features are
clauses which proclaim the equality
and independence of the two nations
and their willingness to have other ma
tons Join them in the union.
AS seen here the effect of the accord
viii be to give Germany free and ia
vored access to the markets of Austria,
accomplishing the dual advantage of
making German goods available to
Austrian citizens at lower price levels
than has been the case. If the union
could be extended to certain Of the
Balkan countries the advantage to
Germany would be inestimable.
Principal Topic Of Delegates.
Besides Arthur Henderson, British
foreign minister there we're present for
today's committee meeting the foreign
ministers Of Poland, Denmark and
Switzerland, and Herr Won Simson, for
merry underSecretary of foreign affairs
for Germany. It was understood that
the Vienna-Berlin agreement was the
principal topic Of conversation in the
committee Hobbies and that NJ. BRAND
and Henderson discussed 1t in some de-
tail, M. BRAND seeking to know the
British attitude toward the demarche
at Vienna, where French, Italian and
Czechoslovakian representatives pro-
tested the union.
Press comment on the accord today
was calmer. Matin and Excelsior looked
upon 1t as a protest against the Franco
Anglo-Italian naval agreement and re-
cent failures Of the Paris Wheat Con-
ference and Geneva Economic Confer
ence. Matin commented that 1t was
one more blunder to add TO the credit
Of Germanys diplomacy.
Although the Austro- German project
dominated the atmosphere of the Pan
European Committee meeting, M. BRAND
in converting the group avoided any
formal remarks regarding it.
The committee assembled IN the ia
nous clock room of the Quai D'Orsay.
M. BRAND got right down to the busi-
ness of the committee, which is en-
powered to prepare agenda for a plen-

Nine of % Charges In
vOlving $4,000.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, March 24.-Milton b.
Delcher, vice president Of the defunct

fed, were officers or directors Of one OF
the concerns, Young's System, Inc,
and Delcher was said to have received
$50 a week salary from the firm, a
loan agency.

with assets Of approximately $4,000 900

FeSS States He Will Fight
Both Equalization Fee and
Debenture Plan.
WHEAT SURPLUS INCREASE
FEARED FROM PROPOSALS
Foreign Market Needed Before
Legislating, McNary Says in Ask
ing Increased Consumption.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Republican leaders at the Capitol to-
day indicated that they did not intend
TO be stampeded into support Of the old
equalization fee for farm relief or the
more recent debenture plan. Senator
Fess of Ohio, declaring that he was
speaking as an individual Senator and
not for the administration nor the Re-
publican National Committee, Of which
he is chairman, insisted that he would
oppose both of those remedies for the
wheat situation.
"While am not expressing more than
an individual opinion" said Senator
Fess, II cannot subscribe to the equali-
cation fee or the debenture plan or any
other that looks to increasing the sur
plus rather than reduction, which
would inevitably aggravate the prob
lem"
Production Increase Fought.
The Ohio Senator did not comment
on the announcement of the Federal
Farm Board that it would not undertake
to buy any part of the 1881 wheat crop
was out of sympathy with any plan
Of governmental aid which would tend
to increase production.
Senator McNary Of Oregon, co-author
of the old McNary- Haugen farm bill
which contained the equalization fee
and which was vetoed by President
Coolidge, denied today that he was
planning at this time to reintroduce a
bill providing the equalization fee. Sen
ator McNary Is chairman Of the Com
mittee on Agriculture.
II felt in the past" said Senator
McNary, that the equalization fee plan
was the most sound way of dealing with
the exportable surplus Of wheat and
other crops. must be shown, how
ever, that we have markets abroad
which will take our surplus wheat be-
fore undertake again legislation Of
that kind"
Senator McNary insisted that the
problem Of meeting the wheat situa-
ton called for increased consumption.
Study Is Promised.
He said that he would study the sit
uation carefully, indicating that II the
equalization fee appeared to be prac-
ticable under the circumstances he
might revise it. He made it clear, how
ever, that he was not yet prepared tc
90 ahead with that kind Of legislation
