RESIGNATION
ACCEPTED
Assistant District Attorney
Quits Post After Row With
Justice Proctor

Assistant District Attorney John
r. Fitzpatrick today submitted
his resignation to District Attor-
ney Leslie C. Garnett and it was
accepted at once.
Shortly after he had accepted
Mr.. Fitzpatrick's resignation, Mr..
Garnett said he would recon,
mend to the Attorney General
that Samuel F. Beach. local at,
torney, be named to fill the va.
cancy.
Mr.. Beach, who is "a years old,
Is the son Of Morgan H. Beach,
former United States Attorney.
He is a former assistant clerk of
the court in the criminal divi-
sion.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick sent a letter to
Mr.. Garnett, the contents Of
which were not made public. Mr..
Garnett, said, however, that he
had accepted the resignation ''be-

The two men clashed in court
several days ago over q further
continuance of the trial of Mrs.
Mary Irene Buccolo for murder.
Several continuanceS have been
granted because of illness of VIII
ton J. Lambert, her attorney.
When a further continuance
was asked and granted, Mr.. Fitz-
patrick and the Justice engaged
in q verbal tilt. Mr.. Garnett then
transferred Mr.. Fitzpatrick from
handling criminal cases to the
civil division.
The attorney then rendered his
resignation, stating he felt this re-
flected lack of confidence in his
work.
He announced that he will enter
civil practice with James B.
Flynn.
Mr.. Garnett and his assistant,
Julian Richards, will handle the
criminal cases in court.

IN PHONE
RATES ASKED

Charging that the rate sched-
ule submitted by the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company
is unfair to the largest groups
of telephone users, Peoples Coun-
sci William A. Roberts today de"
manded that the company reduce
the rates in each service as near
to 10 per cent as possible aud
that the aggregate reduction
should be 10 per cent.
Mr.. Roberts, at a conference
today between officials of the
company and the Public Utilities
Commission, said that his analy-
sis of the company's proposed
rates shows that business sub
scribers who do not use a large
number of calls would get no
benefit at all from the reduction.
The Peoples counsel stated
that a permanent system of rates
should be established, and that
every type of service should bene-
fit fro mthe reduction.
It was indicated that telephone
company officials will accept a
counter proposal today and that
by Christmas more than $1,000
900 accumulated to the credit of
telephone users will be distributed.
The largest group of telephone
users, the one party unlimited
group, who number 34,849, will
not get the full 10 per cent reduc-
ton benefit if the company's rate
schedule is adopted, Mr.. Roberts
said.
The present rate for this type
of service is $4.75 a month, and
q 10 per cent reduction would
reduce the charge to $4.2712 a
month. The peoples counsel said
that he would not agree to any
rate for this group more than
$4,3O a month.

When President Roosevelt re-
turns to Washington from his
three-weeks stay at Warm Springs.
Ca, next month he will find the
White House a bit different from
the condition in which it was
when he left it last week.
A small army of painters, up
holsterers, curtain experts and
others versed in interior decora'
ton have been as busy as bees for
the last two or three weeks in
their efforts to restore the East
Room, and Blue, Red and Green
Rooms and place them in such a
condition as to be presentable
during the coming social season at
the Presidential Mansion.
Completely Renovated
The Red Room has been COM
pletely renovated and its dark
toned red wall color has been re-
placed by a lighter, more friend
ly tint damask which harmonizes
better with the furniture and dec
orative surroundings.
The furniture in the State din
ing room, especially the large CEN
ter table, heretofore brilliantly
vanished, has been dulled down
to be in keeping with the oak wall
panelling imported from England.
The East Room with it's numer-
Gus decorative accessories and
paintings, including curtains and
u h olstery, has received a
thorough cleaning and presents
a beautiful and dignified appear
ance. The Green Room likewise
received a thorough cleaning.
Will Clean Offices
AS soon as the clerical force,
now operating in the basement
and other rooms at the White
House, moves to its new quarters
in the enlarged Executive offices,
the lower corridor occupied by
them will also be taken in hand
and be brought up to a standard
Of cleanliness.
The walls will have to be
painted, the marble floors will be
reSurfaced and windows and
doors will be repaired where nee

D. c, BANS CHILD
MUSICIANS

The courts may be called upon
to determine the validity of the
Districts child labor law.
For under an opinion issued
yesterday by Corporation Coun.
sci E. Barrett Prettyman, two of
the outstanding musical events
scheduled for this season are in
violation of the law.
Gloria Perkins, the child prod.
ICY who will appear with the Ma.

mission to play.
The 11-year-old girl violinist
will receive only her expenses, it
was explained, and so the appear
ance constitutes part of her
musical education"
Mr.. Prettyman said, however,
that the scheduled appearance
of Ruth Slenczynaki, 9-year-old
pianist, and the Vienna Boys
Choir are violations of the law.
The opinion, given before the
Board of Education yesterday,
came as such a surprise that
local impressarios have not vet
had a chance to determine what
course they will pursue to present
young musicians to the Washing
ton public.

It can be said on high authority
that President Roosevelt is not
only informed in the Districts
financial situation and that he
has been given the detailed fig

as opposed to congressional parsi,

NRA code, declared today in
urging regulation of Liquor adver-
tising at a hearing held by
Joseph H. Choate, jr., of the

This condition Is due to mis-
leading advertisements that use
Scotch names and decorations,
said Mr.. Lourie. He added:
"You have to be a magician
to tell the difference between
the foreign and domestic Scotch
whisky, according to these ads"
Mr.. Lourie further urged that
such beverages made in this
