TRASH CLEAN UP
IS ORDERED
MISS M'DONNELL

The Alexandria City Council
yesterday passed an ordinance
requiring property owners to re-
move trash, rubbish, old autos,
etc., from vacant lots under penal
ties ranging from $40 to $100.
When the city is forced to do the
work the cost will be made a lien
against the property.
To carry on its fight against
the appeal Of the Alexandria
Water Company to the 10 per
cent rate increase granted by
the State Corporation Commis-
sion February /, the council
placed on it's first reading an
appropriation of $4,000 for attor-
neys' fees and expenses. The
company has asked the supreme
court to allow a 40 per cent in
crease.

INSISTS
ON CONTROLA At
BLADENSBURG
Old Commission Says Arbiter
Is Acceptable, But ClingS
to Deciding Vote

Were still in control.
We're willing to let them
have two of the towns five
commissioners but we won't
stand for their having the
third and deciding vote"
That the statement today Of
Frank Mace, chairman of the
1880 Bladensburg board of com
miSsioners, as both parties to the
contested election of May 2 said
Judge Joseph C. Mattingly, of the
Prince Georges circuit court,
would be acceptable as an ar
bitter.
Rival Government
The contest for control of the
town developed after three mem
bers of the old board were re-
placed by w. R. Beattie, Ellsworth
Poole and Elroy GaSch in the
town elections.
Following the announcement of
Mace that the faction ne headed
would continue to serve, the
newly elected trio met and organ
lied a rival town government.
Mace had charged that the elec-
tions were illegally held and that,
as Gasch did not have $500 worth
of property listed on the books
of the town, he was not quail
fled to serve.
Deciding Vote at Issue
The struggle was bitter yester-
day, when it was revealed that
the Greater Bladensburg Citizens
Association had voted unani-
to ask Judge Mattingly
to straighten out the tangle.
The contest now has centered
on which side is to control the
fifth and deciding vote on the
board of commissioners.

Destroyed by Fire

The home of Glen M. Sharpe
at Dranesville, Va, located on
the estate of Major Hobart H.
Hawkins, was destroyed yesterday
by fire, believed to have origi-
mated from an exploding oil
burner in a chicken house.
Mrs. Sharpe said she lit the
stove shortly before the fire
started. Sparks from the chicken
house fell on the roof of the
Sharp home, starting the fire.
The Hernoon volunteer fire de-
partment was called but was
hampered by lack of water. The
damage is estimated at $4,000.

Fear that American shipping
lines may fall into hands of for
eign combinations today spurred
the House Merchant Marine Com
mittee in it's campaign to preserve
a 100 per cent American" marine.
With the shipping business the
world over hard hit by business
conditions, many huge foreign
combinations are said to have cast
eager eyes toward American lines
with their fat mail subsidies.
Two objectives in the campaign
were mapped out by Representa-
tive Davis DO, of Tennessee,
chairman Of the House Commit
tee. They are to prevent pay
ment of subsidies to lines with
foreign affiliations and prohibit
the Shipping Board from selling
any line to foreign carriers.
A provision was inserted in the
Post Office appropriation bill, now
pending in the Senate. to prevent
payment of subsidies to ships un-
der foreign control.

Fish Will Need Aid
To Endure Summer

High water conditions in the
Upper Mississippi river district in
dicate that about 15O,0O0,OO0 fish
of various species will depend
upon the rescue crews of the U.
S. Bureau of Fisheries of the
Commerce Department for an op-
portunity to live through the sum-
mer. This number of fish is likely
to be left stranded by receding
high water in land-locked lakes,
lagoons and slough, and they will
die unless transferred to major
streams or lakes.

SMITH CUSTER
SPURS DEEPER
INQUIRY
Similar Cases Now Sought
BY Probe in Veterans
Administration

The House Military Affairs
Committee today planned to
continue its investigation of
alleged double pay in the Vet
erans Administration following
the resignation of William
Wolff Smith, general counsel
for the bureau.
Smith rendered his resignation
ater being long under fire, and
terminated the campaign that
had been waged against him
particularly py Representative
Thomas l.. Blanton CD Of
Texas.
Blanton forced the resignation
by carrying his fight into the
Military Affairs Committee, using
as his vehicle a bill to repeal
the disabled emergency officers
retirement act.
Evidence at committee hearings
established that although Smith
had served only 13 days swivel
chair service" he drew $l87 so
. month retirement pay as WA
as his $4,000 annual salary as
counsel for the bureau.
Smith sought to reconcile the
committee by offering to reim-
burSe the Government.
The offer was not satisfactory
however, and the Military Affairs
Committee demanded that Brig.
Gen. Frank T. Hines, veterans
administrator. seek Smiths reSig-
nation.
Hines responded with the res
ignation which will take effect
on the completion of Smiths an
nual leave, which he now is
taking.
