PARKING BILL
Times staff Photo
BILLY

An adverse report on bill in
troduced in the Senate to provide
parking space for automobiles in
public buildings was voted yester-
day by the District Commission
erS.
The report declared the Bureau
of the Budget had advised the
Commissioners that expenditures
contemplated by the passage of
the legislation would not be in
accord with the financial program
of President Hoover.
The bill provides for a revolv-
ing fund of $4,000 to be admin
istered by the director of Public
Buildings and Parks. Secretary
of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills in
a report to the Budget Bureau
estimated that $500 cars belong
to employees who will occupy the
Government building triangle,
and said that no provision for
parking space within the buildings
had been made. He estimated
that the original cost of open-air
parking would be $l70 per car
per year and that subsurface
garage parking would cost $1,000
per car.
The bill also provides for fee
to be collected from employees to
defray expenses.

FAD At POOL

If you want to be fashionable,

At least that is the conclusion
one might reach by visiting
Lincoln Memorial any clear
evening. for roller-Skating around
the rejecting pool, Lieut.. Col. U.

parks, states, has become more
popular than ever before in
Washington.
Nightly, large groups, small
groups, and individuals park their
cars near the Memorial Building,
don roller skates and push off
for clickerty, clackerty jaunt
around the pool. A luminous
moon during the past week has
enlivened the scene while echoes
of feminine laughter, cries, and
miscellaneous whoops echo among
the columns of the nearby
memorial.
At least three roller-skating
clubs have been organized, Colonel
Grant said today. while many
school and church groups have
been featuring roller-skating
parties.

Now Wohlstadt is an expert
on cheep, cheeps. He murmured
to himself:
ut sounds to me like ali,

quandary."
The cheeping stopped. But
he noted tina every time Curt
Kluge, of Gutenberg, N. j., a
prize judge and bird breeder,
moved about the shop the cheep-
ing was renewed.
So, Wohlstadt seized Kluge
and found, so help him, ex-
actly nine canaries and two
love-birds in a combination
quandary-dilemma in a special
pocket sewn to Kluge's coat.
One of the love-birds was
dead. Kluge was sentenced 20

FREED
Of NEGLECTING
HER BABY
Social Service Worker Fails
TO Appear Against Mrs.
Mary Hunt

A warrant charging Mrs.
Mary Hunt, of Berwyn, with
failure to provide for her infant
daughter was dismissed by
Judge j. Chew Sheriff, in the
Hvattsville Police Court, when
Mrs. Agnes Duvall, Prince
Georges social service worker,
failed to appear to prosecute
the case.
The child was taken from it's
mother several weeks ago by
Mrs. Duvall and placed in the
Children's Hospital in Washing
ton.
Surprise to Court
Mrs. Duvall said that the child
was in a serious condition and
that she wanted the case con-
tinued pending outcome of the
child's illness. Her failure to
appear yesterday came as sur
prise to officers of the court.
Another warrant, issued by
Justice of the Peace John A.
Downing, alleging that the baby
had been wilfully and unlawfully
neglected by her mother, was
also dismissed on motion of j.
Wilson Ryon, Mrs. Hunts at
torney.
Reflects on Baby
Mr.. Ryon pointed out that the
wording of the warrant made
the 18-months-old child the de.
PENDANT and amounted to charg-
ing the baby whit neglecting
herself.
In dismissing the charges Judge
Sheriff said that Mrs. Duvall
would be at liberty to swear out
new warrants and proceed with
the case if she chose.

COURT ADVISED
DUNCAN TOO
Ill NOW
Sheriff and County Manager
Take Over Office and
Change Locks

The resignation of William
H. Duncan, Arlington county
clerk, charged with grand
larceny of public funds, was ac-
cepted today by Judge Walter
T. Mccarthy.
Following an examination of
Duncan's personal physician, DR..
Ralph Quick, Judge Mccarthy
granted a continuance of Dun
cans arraignment until next
Wednesday morning. Quick tes-
titled that Duncan, who is in Il
"highly nervous" condition, was
physically unable to appear in
court.
Sheriff Takes Charge
A medical certificate to that
effect was submitted on Mon
day during a hearing on rule
issued by Judge Mccarthy re-
curing Duncan to show cause
why his bond of $4,000. given
on the date of his arrest March
%, should not be increased to the
amount of money handled by his
office, estimated at 100000.
Following the acceptance of
Duncan's resignation Judge Nc
Carthy placed the clerks office
in charge of Sheriff Howard B.
Fields and Roy S. Braden, county
manager.
Fields Immediately ordered all
employees and other persons from
the office and announced that no
business will be transacted until
a new clerk is appointed.
Lawyers Chased Out
A group of Alexandria and
Clarendon lawyers, examining
titles, picked up their brief cases
and departed at Fields order. A
locksmith was engaged by Man
ager Braden to change the COM
binations on the locks to the
county clerks office.
E. Wade Ball, former county
treasurer, and F. j. Hallock, for
mer school board clerk, both
charged with grand larceny Of
public funds, yesterday pleaded
not guilty and their cases were
set for the June term of court.
Shortages OF more than $780,
900 have been revealed to date
by auditS of Arlington county
offices, according to T. Coleman
Andrews. chief State auditor.
Took Legal Steps
Mr.. Andrews requested Cover
nor Pollard to send representa-
tives of the State Department of
Law to Arlington county to take
legal steps to protect interests Of
the Commonwealth.
The financial qualifications of
Arlington county are perhaps un-
paralleled in the history of any
county, Mr.. Andrews told mem
bers of the State auditing COM
mittee. He said that the short
age of E. Wade Ball, former
treasurer, amounted to 100000;
Duncan, $4,000, and F. J. Hal
lock, $6,250.
