Miss Edith B. Athey, 1900 block
Euclid st, N. W., has been chosen
to play the organ every Sunday

According to Miss Athey, the

is conspicuous because there are
no visible uprights. Instead the
headstones are bronze plates, laid

graved upon it.
In a little cottage, separated
from the main part of the
grounds, is an organ, attached to
which are 200-watt amplifiers to
give forth the secular and sacred
music to the listeners. Miss Athey
is the organist. She sits at the
instrument with a pair Of head
phones on her ears so that she
can hear the music which issues
from the high-powered amplifiers

A.F.G.E,ENTERS
EMERGENCY
BUREAUS
Work in MIRA To Be Extended
to Other Units; Farm
Unit Is Objective
By DUNCAN FORSYTH

Organization OF emergency Fed
eral employees on a broad scale is
contemplated by the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes, it was learned today.
Within another week, it is an
ticipated, lodges of the A. F. G. E.
will have been set up in all the
emergency units, from the Re
construction Finance Corpora
ton to the Tennessee Valley Au-
thorities.
Apparently the National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees has not
been active among the emergency
workers. Word today from the
headquarters of the other organ
ization, however, indicated that
the task begun in the NRA will be
carried through in other new set
ups, all along the line.
AS a matter of fact, lodge of
the A. F. G. E. was recently organ
lied among the District Relief Ad-
ministration employees, as the first
activity of the kind among the
emergency agencies. The A. F.
G. E. at the same time established
a lodge among the old-line District
of Columbia employees.
Invade Farm Unit
Already steps are under way for
organization of the employees Of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, which has a staff Of
some 2,7O0 members. Pay scales
there are said to be lower than
at the NRA, even after the recent
NRA cuts.
There are, or shortly will be,
probably 10000 emergency agency
employees in Washington, and the
A. F.. G. E. intends, according to
e. Claude Babcock, president, to
carry on organization among
them as rapidly as possible.
In general, emergency employees,
while they have certain oppor-
tunities in the way of promotion
not accorded under the Civil Ser
vice regulations as affected by the
economy act, nevertheless suffer
certain disabilities. They have no
tenure of employment, their SAL
airy scales are fixed more or less
arbitrarily, and they are subject
to q considerable amount of over
time work.
Overtime Fought
In view of the NRA principle
that work weeks should be short
ened in private industry to per-
NIT the employment of more work.
ers, sponsors of organization
among the emergency employees
feel that the same principle should
apply to them.

ately entered upon an active
career to obtain civic improve
ments which are necessary to
the welfare Of a growing COM
munity, and the first problems
to receive attention were the
paving of streets, an improved
lighting system. and public school
facilities.
After this, the association
directed its efforts to obtaining
the erection of a bridge over the
B. g. o. Railroad tracks. Upon
completion of this work, a very
dangerous crossing was elm
mated and safety provided for
the children attending the nearby
Brookland public school.
Car Service Extended
After obtaining the bridge, the
association induced the Wash
ington Railway & Electric Com
pany to extend it's trackage into
the Brookland community to pro-
vide adequate transportation facil-
tiles for the large number OF
Federal employees who were locat-
ing and building homes there.
Mr.. Marvin H. Mclean has
served as president of the asso-
citation for IL years at different
periods. Under his administration
an active and successful cam
paign was carried on to obtain
the widening and improvement Of
Monroe Street Bridge and the
street proper, and in connection
with this Michigan Avenue was

North Capitol Street past Trinity
College and Catholic University,

For many years the association
worked for legislation and funds
to purchase Bunker Hill Park
at Thirteenth and Otis Streets
to provide a recreation center
for adults and children. Today
this park is extensively used.
In recent years additional lant

BALTIMORE, Nov. 17.-ASsert-
ing that the special session of
the Maryland General Assembly,
to convene Thursday primarily
for the purpose of enacting
liquor control and tax legislation,
should last no longer than a
week, Senator Joseph Allan Coad
CD of st. Marys county, has
proposed that the leadership place
a strict limit on the measures
which can be taken up.
He said he will ask the leaders
Of the house and senate to call
the Democratic members into
caucus early next week and decide
what proposals should be classed
as emergency legislation to be
taken up at the special session.
This would bind the over
whelming Democratic majority
and block consideration of any
proposals outside of the agenda
agreed upon.
Senator Coad said he thought
only a few days would be re-
quired to enact the necessary
legislation. Each day the Assem-
bly, is in session it costs the
State approximately $4,000.

One.Man Control Plan
Proposed for Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Nov. 17.-City
Solicitor r. E. Lee Marshall has
submitted to Mayor Jackson, of
Baltimore, a plan of liquor con-
troll for the city of Baltimore,
under which a special licensing
system would be set up for the
city and would establish a one
man liquor commission with wide
powers.
At the same time, however,
Mayor Jackson disclaimed any
sponsorship of the proposal and
asserted that the city might not
send a bill to Annapolis for
action by the legislature, in
which case the Statewide law
would prevail.
Hotel, Cafe Status
The bill presented by Marshall
also would restrict the sale Of
liquor in restaurants and hotels
to customers purchasing bona
fide meals, and would prohibit
drinking at bars or counters In
taverns.
The hours of sale OF liquor at
taverns would be restricted to II
o day, in three periods-morning,
afternoon and evening-such as is
In vogue in British public houses.
Meanwhile, Governor Richie
announced that the Statewide
plan which he has put forth for
consideration of members of the
legislature is only tentative and
open to criticism.
Meet New Problems
Pointing out that no matter
what plan was put forth by any
one it would be subjected to criti-
cism in some provisions. the gov
0rnor said:
81 welcome further study of
every feature Of the plan pro-
posed, because that is the only
way to accomplish the one idea
/ have on the subject, namely,
the enactment Of law which,
rs far as possible, will answer
all reasonable and proper OBJ
jectiOnS, and the sole purpose Of
which will be to meet the new
problems and not reeStabliSh
the old ones"
