strikes so directly at the especially diff
cult situation for juveniles in the older

the District Commissioners are forward
ing this to you with the request that

DRIVES EXTENSION
Three States Will Be Given
"WhateVer 1t Takes" to
Build Roadway.

Senator Harry F. Byrd Of Virginia
today announced that the States OF
Virginia, North Carolina and Tennes-
see have been assured that they will be
given whatever it takes" from public
works funds, to build the greatest scenic
park roadway in the world between the
proposed Shenandoah National Park
and the Great Smoky National Park.
At conference this morning with
Cows. John G. Pollard of Virginia and
Hill McAllister of Tennessee and Con-
gressional delegations from all three
States, Public Works Administrator
IckeS authorized the States to survey
and acquire 2O0-foot right of way
across the crest of the Blue Ridge
Mountains and into the Great Smokes,
leading up to the present Skyline drive
from Front Royal, Va, to near Waynes-
boro, Va, and thence down into North
Carolina and Tennessee.
The surveys will start Immediately,
Senator Byrd said.
Cost About Sl6, ,0OO, 900.
While no public works allotment for
the project has been made, the eSti-
mated cost Of the project is approxi-
mately $16,000,000.
Authority to go ahead with the
surveys was given when Cows. Pollard
and McAllister and a representative OF
Gov. Ehringhaus of North Carolina
pledged their States to acquire and turn
over to the National Park Service the
necessary 200-foot right-of-way through
non-Federal areas which will be decided
to the Federal Government and become
the charge OF the National Park Service.
The actual direction of the surveys
will be undertaken by the National Park
Service and a route will be worked out
as various difficulties now facing the
surveyors are cleared up.
Senator Byrd emphasized that the
road Will be purely park proposition,
simply linking together the two great
eastern national parks with a scenic
highway greater in length and scenic
possibility than anything heretofore at
tempted in the world. In effect it will
be continuous park from Front Royal,
Va, on into North Carolina and Fennes-
see and will be administered and policed
when completed by the Park Service
The actual building of the road, which
Will begin as soon as surveys are COM
pleted and the right-o acquired,
PROBABLY will be done by the Bureau of
Public Roads, Department of Agriculture.
Greatest Scenic Project"
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the
Bureau of Public Roads, who has praised
the project, today characterized it as
the greatest scenic highway project ever
undertaken.
The road as planned will wind among
the crests of the highest mountains in
Virginia and North Carolina, high above
the fertile Shenandoah Valley Of Vir-
ginia and into the rugged Businesses of
the Great Smokes. providing a link
unexcelled anywhere in this country for
scenic beauty between what is expected
TO be the two great vacation play
grounds Of the Eastern section Of the
United States.
The money for the surveys will be
advanced by the three States and the
States will be reimbursed from Federal
funds after the actual construction of
the road gets under way.

Rev. Calvert E. Buck Tells Physi-
clans of Desperate Need of
Community Chest.

Addressing the District of Columbia
Medical Society last night. Rev. Calvert
E. Buck, speaking for the Community
Chest, told them at as a class they
do not need to be told of the desperate
need of thousands of men, women and
children.
Dealing with ills of the human BODY
is the thing to which you have dedi-
Gated your lives" he said, "and with
sickness its attendant evils of pov-
erty and squalor are only too closely
pressed upon you"
He praised the charitable work of
the members of the medical profess
sion in Washington and declared there
remained only question of how best
to care for the welfare and charitable
needs of the community
Il believe profoundly" he said, that
1t is the Community Chest. In SO far
as the scope of private philanthropy
as differentiated from governmental re-
sponsibility, the Community Chest is
the most efficient, economical and
progressive agent we have ever had"
The minister urged further co-opera-
ton of the physicians and asked their
contributions in the current campaign.

METEOR SHOWER AGAIN FAILS
ID. e.. SCIENTIFIC WITCH PARTIES

Although parties of Washington as
tronomerS are keeping nightly watch
for the expected fire-rain of the Leonid
meteors this week, the earth appears
to have missed again this spectacle
which was due last year and which
for the past century has recurred every
33 years.
Both the Naval Observatory and
Georgetown Observatory are taking part
in the cooperative program Of about
so astronomical stations in the Eastern
United States arranged by DR.. C. P.
Olivier OF the University of Pennsyi-
vania. According to calculations. the
earth should have been speeding
through the thickest portion of the disk
Of cometary debris-a great conglomera-
ton of dust and rocks in space-which
is responsible for the shooting stars.
VIII Watch Tonight.
Naval Observatory watchers worked
in two shifts of three each last night
The Georgetown scientists maintained
for the past two nights watch from
midnight to daybreak. But there was
little increase from the normal number
of shooting stars in the eastern heavens.
The watch will be kept up tonight, al
though the hopes Of astronomers for
return of the phenomenon are not
bright.

Between 10000 and $4,000 people,
Mr.. Hopkins said have to be taken
care of in the District of Columbia this
Winter. This is true. he said, inspite
of the fact between 5000 and 10000
Washingtonians will be given jobs

tion.

with the right approach" the bishop
said, you will make every man and
woman in Washington a better man
and woman. The Community Chest
is the challenge of supreme oppor-
tunity. Carry on"
Mr.. Hogan defined for the workers
the difference between the functions
of Federal relief and the Community
Chest and instructed them in answer
ing questions challenging the Chest.
Government relief" he declared,
docs not take care of the things for
which you work We all know that
charity is necessary. Even in prosper
GUS times we have to have our orphan
asylums and hospitals; we had to take
care of our crippled children, of found
lings, and the aged.
Government relief has but two
functions. II gives temporary as
sistence to the unemployed and it
meets an emergency situation. That's
all that it does. The Community Chest
is permanent; it takes care of prob
lens that are with us always"
Answers Other Questions.
Mr.. Hogan gave the answers to three
other questions which he said would be
asked the workers. Only cents, he
said comes from each dollar con-
tributed to meet expenses of the cam
paign and administration of the several
agencies. Ninety-four cents goes di-
rectly to charity AS to commissions

1t was hoped by this years observations
to establish some important facts about
the winds in the upper atmosphere,
from so to 100 miles above the earth,
which are inaccessible to direct observ-
alton, but which may have vital effect
on weather. The larger meteors have
been observed to leave fire trails behind
them. These change in direction and
shape according TO the direction and
strength Of the winds.
Effects Are Startling.
The great Leonid showers of the past
have been among the most startling of
all astronomical events. That of 100
years ago. when literally thousands of
shooting stars fell across the eastern
1eavens, threw people in panic for fear
that 1t signified the end Of the world.
Actually. it is pointed out, few OF the
meteors ever strike the earth. They are
consumed in the outer reaches of the
earth's atmosphere, being~set ON IRE
by the friction of the rare atmosphere
through which they pass at a speed
approaching so miles a second
It Is believed that the earth has
missed the meteors again through dis
tlirbance of their orbits by the attrac-
tions Of other planets in the solar sys-
tenn.

DOUBLE BILLING"
Barred IN PROBE
Real Estate Board Asked to
Help Stamp Out Practice
of Repair Men.

The Washington Real Estate Board
was asked today by the Public Utilities
Commission to cooperate with its rent
research agent. James Ring, in an effort
TO stamp out practice of double bill
ing OF owners of rented properties for
repair work.
The practice was discovered bv ping
ne told the commission, during the con-
ouct OF his survey Of rental and housing
conditions here, sponsored by the utili-
tleS commission at the request of the
Senate. '--|
He said he had discovered cases where
contractors employed to make repairs
or perform other work on rented prom
critics had sent two different bills to the
agent, one carrying a higher cost figure
than the other. Apparently, Ring said
the higher bill was intended to be passed
along TO the owner of the property and
the otner to represent actual payment
mace to the contractor by the agent
