IMPROPER ACTIONS
DENIED BY RECTOR
Girl "Peeped, He Says, if She
Saw Operation Scar on His
Stomach.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 2l.-The Rev. H. F.
Davidson, gray-haired rector of Stiff
key, denied today some of the accusa-
tions of immortality for which he is on
trial before a consistory court.
The petite Barbara Harris, blonde
witness of the prosecution, who was
present in court, came in for much dis
cussion again as lawyers elected from
the smiling clergyman statements re-
lating to what he called his "uplift"
work.
Once or twice he had kissed Miss
Harris in a restaurant, he testified, but
it was a kiss on the forehead and there
was no lust" In his heart.
He said he had visited the girl in
her room five or six times, but never
closed the door or acted improperly.
Miss Harris, who had testified about
his appendicitis scar, had never seen
his stomach, the clergyman said, ''un-
less she peeped through the bathroom
door"
He said he had addressed troupe
of dancing girls in their dressing room
at the theater, but there was nothing
indecent in seeing them there.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLARENDON, Va, May 21.-Con-
tinuing his fight for sentiment against
withdrawal of Arlington County from
the Byrd road plan, H. c. Saffen is
collecting figures OF State expenditures
on county roads during the past few
years which he says he will use in the
coming election campaign on the ques-
ton.
He addressed letter to H. @. Shir-
ley, chief of the State Highway Com
mission requesting information as to
how many miles Of roads have been
constructed in the county ty the State
in the last three years and how much
was expended in the work. He was told
that 1872 miles had been constructed
at an approximate cost OF $3.50 per
mile.
A second question put by Mr.. Saffel
to Commissioner Shirley had to do with
the number of miles of roads that have
been taken over by the State and how
much was expended on maintenance
since they have been taken over.
The answer was "a miles at a, cost
of S1I5,000.
In answer to a request for informa-
tion as TO the amount Of gas tax that
has been furnished the county during
the past five years Shirley states: June
80, 1927, $4,000; June 80, 1928, SOL
82033: June 80, 1929, $50, 1875; June
30, 1880, $78.672.08; June 80, 1881,
$78,355.55.
In addition to this, Shirley states
the State has spent 100000 in pur-
chasing rights of way for the Lee
Boulevard.
Saffell, in favoring remaining under
the Byrd plan, contends that it woulc
be q big saving to the taxpayers and
any money so saved could be used tC
good advantage in construction oi
sewers and the expansion Of the water
system.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, May 21.-The County
Board today authorized the institution
Of condemnation proceedings to ac-
quire the necessary rights of way for
the extension of the Lee Boulevard
from its present terminus at Station
lot to the Fort Myer military reser-
walton, and also authorized the ex-
penditure Of $54,843 for street improve
ments. The latter includes a sum Of
s18,5OO, which, the board was told. is
needed largely to rectify work done last
year in Aurora Hills and Virginia
Highlands.
Advised that the right of way
through the property of Joseph D. Nc
Donnell was the only one that is yet to
be acquired in order TO extend the
Lee Boulevard from its terminus In a
field west Of Fort Myer, the board de-
cided to acquire the land by condem-
nation in order that the State Highway
Commission may bring the road to
point where it may be used. The con-
demnation is for an 80-foot right OF
way, whereas the original project Is on
o 2o0-foot right Of way.
Approved With q Condition.
There was but one condition to the
institution of the proceedings, and this
was that assurance be had from the
State that 1t would do the work after
the right of way has been acquired.
This assurance has been made verbally,
it was saiS, but the board wished 1t
to become a matter Of record.
Authorization of the street work fol-
lowed a statement by County Manager
Roy S. Braden that there were a num-
Der of streets. especially those receiy-
ing their first surface treatment last
year. which would be almost beyond
repair if attention was delayed until
after a vote on withdrawal from the
Byrd plan.

ance as of May 40 of s12e,601, of

more than offsets the 100000 that
was borrowed for current expenses
when the alleged shortage in the ac-
counts of former Treasurer z. Wade
Ball was discovered.
It was decided by the board to en-
force the existing ordinance prohibit
ing the sale or discharge of fireworks
in the county. For the past two years
the old board had suspended enforce
ment Of the ordinance through the

Too Specialized.

Appointment Of a Joint Congressional
Committee to determine what is needed
to lubricate the wheels Of the Nations
business machine was called for in a
resolution introduced yesterday by
Representative Erik Republican, Of
Pennsylvania
We have developed financial groups,
relief organizations. committee to en-
force economic administration of the
Government, Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to aid in iquidating the
frozen assets Of banking institutions and
to assist transportation companies"
Erik said. in a statement issued simul-
taneously with introduction Of the reso-
luton.
I'VE have farm bodies to promote
agriculture and supply means to stimu-
late cooperative marketing; We have
provided Government funds for road
building and the construction Of public
buildings and other improvements.
But the broad foundation Of our
wealth production has not received its
proper share of consideration We have
specialized in our relief endeavors and
in so doing the great body Of business
and industry and Of labor has been
neglected"
The committee would include 26 men,
bers of both political parties appointed
by the Vice President and % by the
Speaker of the House.
It would have broad powers in as
sembling data which might aid in for
mulating a final program of anti-de-
preston legislation.
Erik suggested number Of measures
he felt might contribute to restoration
Of national prosperity.
They included a $4,000, ,000, 900 bond
issue for completing authorized public
works; a moratorium of corporate in
come taxes ito balance the industrial
budget; an amendment to the Recon-
struction. Finance Corporation act to
permit the corporation to loan money
to States and municipalities for relief
needs: tax-exempt bond issues to finance
self -hquidating works such as bridges
and tunnels: strict enforcement Of laws
dealing with deportation Of undesirable
aliens; legislation to protect independ-
ent merchants from chain-store COM
petition" and widespread adoption Of
the five-day week.
Erk's resolution found little favor with
the House group headed by Representa-
tive La Guardia, Republican, Of New
York, which has sought immediate
launching of vast program Of public
works building.
Representative Kelly, Republican, Of
Pennsylvania. one Of the leaders Of the
group, said most of Erk's suggestions
had merit, but the slow grinding Of COM
mittee work would delay too long action
en- the public works program.
