66 COMPLAINTS
Of HIGH RATES
ARE PROBED
Exhaustive Data on Charges
In Various Sections of City
Prepared for Senate

The Public Utilities Commis-
sion has asked the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commis-
sion to turn over to it its study
Of housing conditions in Wash
ington from which conclusions
as to the rental rates here can
be drawn.
This step in the Commissions
investigation into rents here
was taken today. The informa-
ton, said to be an exhaustive
study based on the 1880 census
and showing the relationships OF
high rents in some sections and
more conservative rents in others,
will be turned over to James Ring,
research expert for the Senate's
subcommittee handling the in
Vestigation.
Sixty-six formal complaints Of
high rents have been received,
and are being investigated, Mr..
Ring said. Hundreds of telephone
calls have been answered and a
number of cases have been re-
ferred to welfare agencies.
Some complaints have been
told to take their troubles to
their landlords and, failing in
reaching an amicable settlement,
to file formal complaints with
the Commission.

3 PARDONS

BALTIMORE, July 26. Gov.
Albert C. Ritchie yesterday grant,
ed a pardon to Frank Keane, who
has served four years of a 10
year sentence in the Maryland
penitentiary here for robbery.
Throughout his trial and i'm
prisonment Keane has steadfastly
denied participating in the rob-
berry for which he was sentenced.
Governor Ritchie, however, with
held a complete pardon, stating
that from the record Of the case
it could not be fairly assumed
that Keane had no part in the
robbery.
Harry Hagan and Frank Hulse-
men, former prisoners, were grant,
ed pardons so their citizenship
may be restored.

SUPPORT VOTED
To HOME LOAN

The District Council of Build
ing and Loan Associations, though
it does not expect much from the
Home Owners Loan Corporation,
has nevertheless voted to cooper
ate with that organization, so far
as their own interests will be con-
served.
The council, meeting at the
Raleigh, heard reports that indi-
cate a flourishing condition in
local building and loan circles, and
while it felt that the Home Own
ers Loan Corporation might be Of
value elsewhere, particularly in
cities where conditions are less
favorable, it's ministrations will
not be much needed here.
It was pointed out that the local
associations offer the same IA
cilities for amortization that are
afforded by the corporation, and
some question arose as to the
legality Of exchanging building
and loan mortgages for the cor
pOration'S bond,

were told by the relaxed occu'
pants of the control tower.
Always a Nice Breeze
Their quest ended, the photog-
rapher dropped into lazy chair
and fell into a doze while the
reporter pressed for more intrigu.
ing details. Told that the breeze
blew with about the same velocity
throughout the summer, the re-
porter inquired as to the exact
amount of work involved in the
delightful \ task. Ricketts,, the
draw-span operator, then pricked
the golden bubble when he said:
swell, we opened this span
only 458 times last year, which
was a fair average and doesn't
sound so big stretched over 365
days. And the wind blows
right mild up here now, but
last winter, which was good
average winter, it was pretty
bad.
GALE ROCKS OLD TOWER
81 was really scared last fall
during that gale when tb3 cold
wind made this old tower rock
and the sleet fell in sheets. The
draw span frOze that time and
we had to keep a barge tied up
here for two hours while we
worked with that track to free
the span.
"It is just as bad in summer.
There is supposed to be 3-inch
clearance between the span ends
where the bridge meets, but the
heat expands the metal so much
that it sticks in summer more
than it does in the winter. Joe
Smith, the guard, and 1 have
just spent two hours greasing
the joints, but we never can
tell whether it will move when
we want it to or not.
"TheSe summer storms are
terrible, too, when the lightning
plays across these struts up here
and on the car tracks down
there. This room gets cold, too.
We burned IL tons of coal in
that little stove last winter and
nearly frOze to death at that"
Auto Traffic a Hazard
Reassured by now that he must
look elsewhere for the "cinch" job
the reporter aroused the sleeping
photographer AMI began leading
him down the hazardous ladder.

down there when you cross the
bridge. They are all crazy

Preparations for a legal fight
over the refusal of the Board Of
County Commissioners to sane
tion rezoning of 43 acres near
Cheverly as a site for the Prince
Georges Brewing Company are to
be made soon, in the opinion Of
the commissioners who have been
asked for official copies of the
boards action.
The beer promoters, in a letter
from Michael Klachao, secretary,
asked for copies of the petitions
sent in against the proposed brew
cry and a copy of it's zoning rul-
ing.
Hint BY Land Owner
The move was recommended, it
was said, by Marvin Peach, at
torney for w. Pinkney Magruder,
owner of the land, so that if legal
action is decided upon the brew
cry men would already have such
evidence.
No decision has as yet been
made, Mr.. Peach said yesterday.
Tax Sales Near
Thomas Baxter, supervisor of
assessments, asked the commits
sioners that the date of finality

Mr.. Baxter is now preparing a

Collects King Snakes
to Clean Out
RGttlerS

VALDOSTA, Ga.-Collecting
king snakes in order to liberate
them at favorable points is the
unusual hobby of DR.. E. D.
King, jr., city health officer
here. His purpose is to distrib-
ute them so they may wage war
on rattlesnakes, moccasins, cop
perheads and other poisonous
reptiles. He makes frequent
trips to the fields and woods in
search Of these warriors.
Although the king snake has
no fangs, it is a ready fighter
and has very powerful muscles
which enable it to squeeze the
life out Of it's enemies.
Harmless as far as human be-
ings are concerned, the king
snake likes attention as much
as cats or dogs, according to
DR.. King, and several persons
here have them as pets.

FOR VIRGINIA
Smith Speaks at BaIIston;
Pledges Himself to Fight
"Machine Octopus.

Two brothers, one a member Of
the House of Representatives and
the other Virginia State senator
and candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor, stood
side by side on the stage at Wash
ington-Lee High School, Ballston,
Va, last night and told more than
$50 persons why the latter should
be elected.
Tells of Warning
w. Worth Smith. jr., of Louisa
Courthouse, the candidate was in
troduced by his brother, Repre-
sentative Howard w. Smith, Of
Alexandria, who told how he had
been warned that his entry into
the gubernatorial fight would
"mean loss of his political life"
The candidate claimed his fight
was against the octopus of the
machine which attempted to de-
liver the Virginia electorate to the
duly annointed candidate of tbs
machine"
Condemning the many changes
in textbooks used in the schools,
Senator Smith, declared the State
officials were merely tools of the
textbook trust"
Stands for Repeal
He advocated prohibition repeal
and enactment of laws providing
for sale of beer. A flat SIS auto
mobile license tax was advanced
by the senator as adequate and
he said:
II shall, If elected, ask the
general assembly to put into ef-
feet this reduction of the license
tax and shall keep them in seS-
sion until they pass it."

cannot see any means OF SeCC1ug
up a code for Federal workers.
Restoration Sought
In fact, the organization con-
eedes that the generals stand Is
quite correct. The National Re-
covery Administration has no au-
thority to change working condi-
tions in the Federal service, for
that is exclusively the function Of
the President and Congress.
The joint conference to be
called Ly Mr.. Green will be of
an inclusive nature, for the Metal
Workers Union, the Washington
Cent&al Labor Union, the postal
employees and other groups will be
represented, in addition to tn e
American Federation of Govern
1nent Employees.
The code to be devised will
roughly seek to restore conditions
prevailing in the Government
service at their best, plus the prin-
ciple of employe representation,
officials of the American Fedora
ton of Government Employees eX-
planned today.
Living Costs System
Restoration of leave privileges
and former working conditions is
considered by many more i'm
portant than restoration Of for
mer rates of pay, inasmuch as
the President by executive order
has directed that pay schedules
are to be advanced as living costs
increase.
A strong effort will be made,
however, with the backing of the
American Federation of Labor, to
bring about the institution Of a
new system of determining living
costs, that now in effect not being
regarded as satisfactory by the
Federal employees generally.
Specific points raised are that
mortgage interest charges, the
cost of medical attention and
many other expenses have not de-
clined at all, and that this fact
involves a discrimination against
employees in whose budgets these
charges bulk heavily.

 There were only four in last nights cast and they succeeded in holding tho interest in this most entertaining play which has noth- ing particularly weighty as to plot but which makes very agreeable entertainment. Thomas Rurtherford and Miss Mary Cullinan headed tho cast as Dwight Houston and Leon- ora Perrycoste respectively and tho other two roles were handled by Miss Velma Royton as Florence. and Don Arbury as Peter Walms- ley.
 The theme deals with q time WoFH topic, loVo bt flrbt blRHt,s una take tho situation of two average people, ,stho quito nico English girl and the equally perosnable young American. by chance thrown to. gether, then parting with no ex- pectation of over seeing one an- other again--this is practically all tho plot amounts to and what is proven in the end is that thcre's always Juliet" A great amount of dialogue falls to the young couple in the leading roles and they ham, dled their parts very nicely. Dan Arbury as Peter Walmsley was Q new member in the cast.
 Mary Cullinan has had consider. able dramatic experience, touring in "strictly Dishonorable" and also playing in the Milbrook and Mt Kisco summer stock companies.
