MRS. CHEWING PLANS FIGHT

According to Chewing, he, his wife
and her cousin, Miss Eleanor Manning
Of Detroit, had been to Fredericksbure
and were returning by the way of War
renton and Fairfax. When they entered
the town they saw a traffic jam but
could not see the officer, and when the
other drivers started sounding their
horns, Mrs. Chewing joined in. He be-
lieves that the peculiar note of their
horn and the fact that they were riding
in a large automobile attracted Shu-
mates attention to them, and he sent
a small boy to tell them to stop blowing
the horn. The boy did not say he was
sent by policeman and was told to
mind his own business"
They were then approached by a man
who afterward turned out to be the
mayor. Chewing said, but his identity
was not then known and Mrs Chewing
wanted to know by what authority he
ordered her to STOP He then informed
her, Chewing said. that he was the
mayor. chief of police and justice OF
the peace, and 1t was at this point
that Mrs. Chewing remarked this
is certainly some hick town If you are
all Of those things"
Mayor Daniel said he would not
state what language was used by Mrs
Chewing to him until he takes the
stand as witness at the trial
The fire, to which the apparatus was
responding, 1t developed, was at Cabin

Relief Organization continued today
under orders Of Harry L. Hopkins Fed
eral Relief Administrator, with District
officials preparing to submit to Hopkins
an explanation of changes in the pay
of relief employees which Federal officers
declared yesterday should not have been
made without their previous approval
The investigation was ordered when
Hopkins learned pay increases had been
given 81 employees of the local relief
organization, including the director,
Leroy A. Halbert, and reductions given
p others without the approval Of the
Federal Relief Administration, which
is required by law.
Results of the inquiry will not be
known until Hopkins returns from
Chicago Monday. George S. Wilson.
director of public welfare, was desig-
mated by Hopkins to make the investi.
cation.
Three Resign in Protest.
Meanwhile, it developed that three
employees of the local relief organiza-
ton have resigned in protest against
the pay cuts, partially disrupting the
work of preparation OF the local relief
pay roll
Interested District officials also we're
voicing fears that the slaShes made in
the pay Of some of the employees, while
the pay scales of others were increased,
would create further difficulties in
maintaining efficient operation, unless
the situation is corrected quickly.
When the staff of the District Com
mittee on Employment was taken into
the District organization, in compli-
ance with directions from the Federal
Relief Administration, the salaries Of
81 of these employees were reduced, and
those Of SO others already In the Dis
trict relief staff were increased.
Hopkins had declared yesterday the
changes should have been submitted to
his Office for approval, prior to their
adoption, If the increased pay was made
possible by Federal relief grants to the
District. 1t was established that the
increases we're coming from Federal
funds
Made to Equalize Pay.
The changes in pay scales. accord
ing to Wilson, were made to eQualize
the pay of those formerly on the Com
mittee on Employment and those in
the District rolls. The changes were
recommended by the Emergency Relief
Committee of the welfare board which
Is headed by Sidney F. Taliaferro.
They were later approved by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The increases added $14,822 80 to the
annual pay of District employees while
this was Offset by reduction of S.
1912 in the pay Of Employment Com
mittee workers after they were taken
into the District staff.
The three who have resigned are
C. J. Dienelt, a pay roll clerk, who
was reduced from $1,000 to $1.014 C.
P. Dewey, disbursing clerk, reduced
from 1850 to $500 a year, and J.
Clonts. an assignment clerk, reduced

dent of the Board of Commissioners,

ton likely will go to Hopkins Monday.

that the children are not duly vacci-

Took Case to Court.
The case first attracted attention
nearly year ago when the two chill
dren were told they could not continue
at the Thomson School unless they were
vaccinated. The father insisted they
had been vaccinated and produced a
doctors certificate to this effect. He later
went into court on mandamus proceed
ings against the school authorities to
force the enrolment of bis children, but
lost the case when it developed that
iodine had been applied to the fresh
vaccinations on both childrens arms
before the vaccine had had an oppor-
tunity to take effect. At that time the
EntZ family lived in Washington.
Late last Spring Entz had the chill
dren revaccinated and upon presenta-
ton Of new certificates the children
tentatively were enrolled at the Thom-
son School pending results of the vac
cination. DR.. Harry A. Ong of the
Health Department at the expiration Of
10 days time sought to examine the
children's arms and found each so
tightly bound with gauze and adhesive
tape that he would not undertake to
remove the covering for the inspection,

fifth division, said today.
Must Have Certificates.
A little later, DR.. Thomas Linville,
also of the health Office, inspected the
children's arms and found no trace of
vaccination. As a result Of both visits
of the health officers, the health officer
of the District issued certificates that
the children had not been duly vacci-
mated, thus preventing the school
authorities from admitting the children
to class
Mr.. Ely said the children will not be
admitted until new vaccination certifi-
