MAP OF FAIRFAX
COUNTY IS DRAWN
Plat Will Be Used to Show
Work to Be Done With
U. S. Funds.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FAIRFAX, September 12.-The Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission is preparing a map of Fairfax
County land from the Potomac River
to the Chain Bridge and Great Falls
roads. Every piece of property with
owners name is shown on this map,
now being prepared by Hugo Stahl ana
w. G. Haywood. engineers for the
commission.
The present plat extends from the
property of Newbold Moves at the top
of Chain Bridge hill to Great Fails 1t
IS being plated from the records of
the deed books in the county clerks
Office in Fairfax. A map, based on
actual surveys, has already been made
for the territory from Key Bridge to
Noycs' estate The plat taken from the
deed books is intended to minimize the
work necessary for a later more de-
tailed survey.
Just what the Federal Government
will do in this section has not yet been
definitely decided. It has been pro-
posed that the Government build road
to follow the bluffs along the shore
Of the Potomac from Mount Vernon to
Great Falls. 1t has also been proposed
that the Government build spur roads
from the present Chain Bridge High
way cut to scenic points along the river.
Still a third plan placed before the
commission for consideration but which
would need congressional action to be-
come lawful. would be taking over the
present Chain Bridge and Great Falls
roads
The maps now being prepared at
Fairfax will be used by the commission
to determine what action to recommend
under the terms of the Capper-
Cramton act.

BROWN IS URGED
AS c. 0. P.LEADER
Watson Asks Appointment in
Conference With Presi-
dent Hoover.

Selection of Postmaster General
Walter F. Brown for chairman Of the
Republican National Committee is
being strongly urged on President
Hoover.
1t was disclosed here yesterday that
pressure is being brought on the Presi-
dent by number OF prominent Repub-
licans to have the Postmaster General
made head of the national committee.
President Hoover, there is reason to be-
lieve, is seriously considering it.
Watson Confers With Hoover.
Senator James E. Watson, Republi-
can leader of the Senate, who conferred
at length with President Hoover Friday,
took up the national chairmanship
among other things with the Chiet
Executive and urged the selection OF
Mr.. Brown. Senator Watson has for
months favored Mr. Brown as chair
man, and in the conference he is UNDER
stood to have dwelt on the need OF
recognizing the committee and getting
things under way in preparation tor
the presidential campaign. 1t Is the
theory of Senator Watson that the Re
publican campaign for next year should
largely be made this year.
Thus far, however, there is nothing
10 IlulCdbC LlldG LllC "lAAoS AASNDS -
ready to call for a change in the chair
manship. Senator Simeon D. Tess OF
Ohio, the present chairman. although
he has several times indicated he ex-
pected to remain in the craftsmanship
indefinitely, and probably until the next
national convention. has also made 1t
plain he stood ready to step aside Wnen-
ever the President desired it.
Other Mans Suggested.
Talk of various prominent Repub-
licans for the char manshlp, such as
Charles D Hilles, former Senator VIII
liam M. Butler of Massachusetts and
former Senator Lawrence C. Phipps Of
Colorado. which has been rife here in
recent days. is regarded as rejecting
the feeling of many Republicans that
there should be a reorganization with
view to an active organization and pub
Lefty campaign this Fall and Winter
without waiting for the period between
the national convention and the cleo
ton.
The committee will meet in December
to fix the time and place for the con-
vention. Some leaders think a change
in the Craftsmanship may be made then
but others say it is entirely uncertain
1t is pointed out that the Executive
Committee of the National Committee
has power to select chairman.

pealed from the Police Court. where the
pastor was convicted and fined $50.
The defense motion to quash the
Mabes' case was based on the grounds
mat the State statute did not apply,
M. K. Harris, counsel, contending that
The Virginia act under which the min

be used in the suppression of disorderly

shown that the church was SO used

Judge Leigh in his decision held that

charge the defendant with an intention
The first count of the warrant charg-
ing assault had been dismissed in the
Police Court.
The minister still faces 10 other

Plymouth, Vt, Oct 29.-(UP)- Former President and Mrs Calvin Coolidge put skunk lon the spot" here last night.
 This was learned to-day as the famous couple left by automobile for their Northampton. Mass. home after spending a 15-week va cation in this town where Mir Coolidge was born.
 While Mrs Coolidge held a flashlight on the .pofecat, hover ing in the distant darkness, the former president raised his trusty double -barrelled shotgun and fired, killing the skunk.
 Mir and Mrs Coolidge were spending a quiet evening in the old Coolidge homestead where the former took the oath as presi- dent, not long after dark.
 Suddenly Mrs Coolidge's pet chow, Tim, began barking.
 It is a quaint old Yankee cus- tom in such cases for a New England farmer to proceed outside ito investigate, usually accom- panied by his wife carrying a lan- tern or flashlight.
 The Coolidges, true New Eng flanders, followed this procedure. Mir Coolidge went outside, espied the polecat on the opposite side of the road, returned to the house and procured his shotgun. Then accompanied by his wife. he went out again.
 Stealthily they approached the skunk. Mrs Coolidge flashed a beam upon it.. Her husband, who has bagged many cartridges hereabouts this season. aimed and fired.
 They left the carcass by the roadside and returned to the house.
 To-day the Coolidges left in an automobile driven by their chauf- feur for Northampton. Lynn Cady of Plymouth drove another car in which rode Harry Ross. the Cool idge secretary. and Mrs Elizabeth Cassidy. the family cook.
 The chow Tim rode with the Coolidges. It was raining heavily as the Coolidges departed after an all- summer vacation during which the former president kept 10 to IS men employed making repairs to the Coolidge homestead and the Coolidge farmhouse. The repairs have been completed.
