CREDITOR DEFENDS
SEIZURE Of HOME
l. J. Mangan Denies Arbi'
trary Action in Answer
to Mrs. Koontz.

Denying that he had arbitrarily fore
closed a mortgage on the home of Hazel
c. Koontz, or that he had refused to
accept bonds of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation in lieu of the mortgage,
Lawrence J. Mangan, 1887 L street,
asked District Supreme Court today
to dismiss the suit filed against him
by Mrs. KoontZ.
Mangan said he did nothing, either
individually or in conjunction with any
one else. to prevent the plaintiff from
refnancing her home at 3009 Franklin
street northeast through the corpora
ton. In this connection he attached
to his answer the following letter from
Paul j. FrizZell, assistant District man
ager of the corporation:
Pursuant to your request, we wish to
advise you that Mrs Hazel Koontz, ap-
plicant to this Office for loan on the
premises, 3009 Franklin street north
east, has not carried out her agreement
to secure quit-claim deed from the
Joint owner with her of the property.
Your signed agreement to take bonds
in exchange for your notes on this
property and the verbal extension that
you granted until noon today has there
fore expired
I'VE wish to express our apprecia-
ton for your cooperation in this case.
We regret very much that Mrs. Koontz' S
failure to carry out her agreement has
prevented us from preventing fore
closure
Mangan also said he allowed the in
tereSt to run Il months in arrears and
personally paid overdue taxes before
proceeding with the foreclosure. The
answer was filed through Attorney
Philip M. O'Brien.

TRANSMITS HOME
SITES CONSIDERED
Officials Study Advantages Of
Mt. Weather, Va, Despite
Neighbors' Objections.

Department of Agriculture officials
today were surveying the old Weather
Bureau property on the top of Mount
Weather, at Bluemont, Va, to report
on the amount of work that might be
done there if it was chosen as the site
for center for the Districts transient
unemployed
Meanwhile, consideration of this site,
along with Fort Hunt, Va, on the Po-
tomac, was being given, while temporary
transient facilities were being set up
at the local emergency relief head
quarters at John Marshall place and c
street.
Rosichan in Charge.
Arthur Rosichan of the local relief
staff has been designated to take charge
of the transient work, and is working
with Morris Lewis, director of transient
relief of the Federal Emergency Relief
Administration
It has been disclosed that there is
some opposition among the residents
about Mount Weather to the proposal
that the transient center for the Dis
trict be established there. However,
local relief officials feel there is work
to be done which can be performed in
return for the relief given transient
men, and at the same time, large part
of the subsistence of the approximately
200 men it is proposed to center at the
old Weather Bureau station could be
obtained from the IS acres which COM
prise the property.
On the property there are two large
buildings. unoccupied for some years,
which can be put in condition to house
the tranSlents, and several smaller
structures which can be fitted for ad-
ministrative uses
The Mount Weather property was
proposed as a site for the Summer
White House during the Coolidge ad-
ministration. 1t is on top of the noun
tain at Bluemont, and from the old
Weather Bureau buildings there is a
view two ways for more than a score
of miles along the picturesque Shenan-
doah Valley.

ing his plight, summoned Park Police

ambulance from Emergency Hospital.
The doctor on the ambulance, how
ever, was unable to get to the boy until
the guard finally obtained key to the
door. Taken to the hospital. the boy
was treated for injuries to both feet and
a hand and returned home He was to
have X-rays taken today to determine
whether his feet were fractured.

BLOOD TEST PLAN
FACESLEGAL SNAG
Question of Rights Raised
in Proposal to Convict
Drunk Drivers.

Traffic Director Van Duzer's proposal
to give a blood test to automobile driv-
erS suspected of being intoxicated
headed toward a legal snag at the Dis
trict Building today where officials eX-
pressed the opinion that the Commis-
sioners lack authority to approve such
plan without legislation
The traffic act, in its present form. 1t
was pointed out. fails to impose in the
Commissioners the power to promulgate
regulation requiring drunken drivers
to submit to ablood test without their
consent
William w. Bride, corporation counsel
said the Commissioners had not yet
asked him for an opinion on the legality
of the plan, and declined to comment
Several other District officials. however
questioned the authority of the Com
missioners to approve the idea without
congressional sanction
Rights Involved.
In legal circles also the question was
raised as to the legality of the plan, on
the ground that forcible submission to
blood test would constitute a viola
ton of the constitutional rights of an
individual. Legal experts claim the
breaking of persons skin and the re-
moval of blood for analysis would be
an assault. in addition to forcing him
tc testify against himself.
Legal authorities at the District
Building, on the other hand, maintain
that the taking of a blood test would
not constitute an assault any more than
the taking of persons flngerprints
but claim the plan cannot be put into
effect without specific legislation on the
subject
Despite the cloud of legal TECHNICAL
ties. Van Duzer went ahead with ar
rangements for a meeting in his office
Tuesday at 10 am. of police officials
doctors and prominent psychologists, at
will be considered. In the meantime
the Commissioners are expected to ask
Corporation Counsel Bride for formal
opinion.
Plan Used In Sweden.
Van Duzer had hoped to put the plan
into operation upon repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment because of a
fear of an increase in drunken driving
cases. He wants the police department
to have an infallible gauge to distinguish
between an intoxicated driver and one
who has not reached that stage.
The blood test has been successful in
Sweden. he said.
Van Duzer issued a statement today
declaring the failure Of drivers and
pedestrians alike to observe traffic light
signal directions last year cost the live.
of 1.240 persons and injured 44,63C
others. A large number of collisions
between cars he attributed to the same
cause.
Until people make up their minds
that automobile rules and regulations
signal devices and safety codes are Of
prime Importance to safe motor vehicle
| operation" Van Duzer declared, motor
| vehicle authorities will not be able tt
improve traffic conditions very much
