HEARING REFUSED
ON FERRY SERVICE
Maryland Commission De-
cllnes to Act on Chesapeake
Beach Railway Petition.
Spt cial Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, Md, January T.
Holding that the company having de-
MED any Jurisdiction of the commits
sion in the case, the Public Service
Commission has refused to hear the
application of the Chesapeake Reach
Railway Co. for authority to operate
ferry service between Calvert County
and Dorchester County, permission for
which has already been granted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Notice to this effect was served on
the company by Frank Harper, execu-
tive secretary, in a letter to Keech,
Carman, Tucker & Anderson, a local
law firm, which filed the application
for the railway company.
In his letter to the firm, Mr.. Harper
said 8"The commission directs me to
acknowledge the receipt of the appli-
cation and to say that as the applicant
the Chesapeake Beach Railway Co., has
heretofore, in proceedings before other
tribunals, denied and contested any
jurisdiction of the Public Service Com
mission of Maryland with respect tC
the establishment of the proposed ferry
service and does not now, in the pres
ent proceeding, admit the jurisdiction
Of this commission in connection with
the institution of the new service, the
commission can see no reason why II
should proceed to hear, consider anc
dispose of the matter, and the commits
sion, therefore, must decline to enter
tain the application of the company
in the premises and to concede its
right, after investigation and hearing
either to grant or deny the application
as the facts in the case may warrant"

BY star Correspondent of The star.

q
ROCKVILLE, Md, January Plans
of the Montgomery County police force
for the formation Of a radio patrol have
been changed to include seven cars
equipped with short-wave receiving sets
instead of the four originally decided
upon, it was announced here today By
County Commissioner John B. Diamond.
commissioner in charge Of the depart
ment.
1t was at first planned to place one
radio cruiser in each of the four sta
tions, but the areas which the cars
operating out of Rockville, Silver Spring
and Bethesda would have to cover is so
large that it has been decided to assign
two cruisers to those stations instead.
Only one radio car will be placed at
| the Takoma Park station, which has
| only a comparatively small territory to
| patrol
Radio engineers who have been ex-
| pertmenting for the past month to de-
termine the most efficient type of set to
install in the automobiles have finally
settled upon the set to use, and the
work OF installing the receivers has
fnally been started. One car at Rock
vile is now ready for service.
A cruiser was placed in operation at
Rockville some time ago. but the set
installed at that time was later removed
| when it was found that it was not en-
| tirely suited for the work. It Is ex-
pected that the entire patrol system will
be in operation within the next two
weeks.

Legion Warns Against Plan
to Cut National Guard
Drills to "a.

Americas Army and Navy now are
but skeletonized forces, Louis A. John
son, national commander of the Amer
ican Legion. warned last night in an
address at the annual banquet Of the
National Sojourners ct the Mayhower
Hotel. He added that regardless of
our wealth, our intelligence and our
courage, our Nation Is as weak as our
Army and Navy"
Citing the proposed economies to re
duce funds for National Guard drills
from 48 to "a annually, slashing the
number of trainees in the Citizens
Military Training Camps and the Re-
serve Officers' Training Corps, Mr..
johnson asserted that 80 far as econ
omy is concerned, we have only to
consider that the size of the burden
is the ability to bear it."
what Is ordinarily called wealth
Is poverty unless we have an adequate
Army and Navy to guard It," he con-
tended.
Having reduced the bulwark of our
Regular Army force to the point where
it no longer Is considered an effective
and progressive national defense ele-
ment, but simply as skeleton from
which has been sacrificed everything In
excess of bare necessities for existence,
the approach for reductions now con-
Germs the Naval Reserves, the National
Guard and other civilian units" he said
Most types of ships in the Navy are
not now fully manned. If war is de-
clared. additional ships now in reserve
must be used. Skeleton crews must be
formed, which further depletes the
trained personnel on ships in commits
sion. Therefore, when war comes, we
find the ships operating with less per-
sonnel than in time Of peace. If we
do not have trained Naval Reserves
then the gaps must be filled with raw
recruits"

FULL COMMITTEE
TO ACT OND c. AID
Senate Action Expected in
Few Days on Deficiency
Bill.

Having been approved by Senate
subcommittee yesterday, the deficiency
appropriation bill, carrying the urgently
needed SB25,ooO item to enable the Dis
trict government to continue its un-
employment relief activities for the

The full committee is expected to re-
port the bill tomorrow, and Chairman
Hale Of the appropriations group will
seek Senate action within O. few DAYS in
order that the bill may be completed
as soon as possible. Time Is an impor-
tant element regarding some of the
items in the bill, such as the District
relief fund, which is needed immedi-
ately.
The $625, 600 local relief item is pay
able from District of Columbia reve-
nues, and would be used by the Board
of Public Welfare to continue without
interruption its program of unemploy-
ment relief.
Officials in charge of the relief pro-
gram have pointed out that, with the
exception of paying those on the re-
lief rolls for work already done, it will
not be possible to do anything further
until the additional funds are provided
through the deficiency bill.
All projects on the made work" pro-
gram will have to be stopped after the
close OF business tomorrow, and no
more work cards issued until the de-
flciency bill is enacted. If the Senate
passes the bill and it is signed this week,
with the available funds grocery orders
will be issued to those in need until the
made work program can be resumed.

Milk Cans and Salvaged
Parachutes to be Used
in Dropping Food

Ordinary five-gallon milk cans play
an important part in the latest aerial
delivery system worked out by the
Army Air Corps for use in the field.
The new design, incorporating milk
containers, is built around salvaged
parachutes which no longer are safe for
human use. In the milk cans, which
are slung in fabric bag attached to
the parachute, food and other supplies
are packed for delivery to points lack
ing landing fields and inaccessible to
ground transportation
Many emergency food and medical
supply deliveries have been made by
the Air Corps in cases Of floods, storms
and other caiamities during the past
few years. The new parachute delivery
system Is useful for this type of work
as well Is for military use, it was an

For while Dr. Barnouw attempted

sorial noStrils couldn't stand the result.
He appealed to the magistrate.
Constable Put In Hut.
The magistrate called the relatives
before him. He decided that they
should take places outside the door
and peek as best they could, their
positions to be determined by their de-
gree of kinship. To assure that his
solution should be carried out he sta
toned the constable in the hut.
DR.. Barnouw is a native of Holland.
He studied art there and then dropped
it for 20 years while he picked up the
knowledge that carried him to pro-
fessorship Seven years ago he revived
his artistic talents and took up the
study again in New York.
Everywhere he goes, whether 1t be
for linguistic reseach or pleasure, he
makes the sketching of portraits an
important avocation.
From East Africa he brought por-
traits of Bushmen, Hottentots, Pondos
and Zulus He also included in the
exhibit several portraits of Blackfeet
Indians which he sketched two years
ago in Montana.
