Barrett Prettyman
Named Corporation
Counsel For ID. C.
Chevy Chase Lawyer And Poll
tician Gets Washington Post
March Is

E. Barrett Prettyman, Chevy Chase
lawyer and politician, who was prob
ably the most interesting orator in
the last Montgomery County primary
fight, was this week named Corpora
ton Counsel for the District of
Columbia, succeeding William w.
Bride. Mr.. Prettyman, member of
the old Montgomery county family of
that name, sponsored the cause of the
anti-organization forces in the last
political campaign. He was later said
to have become friendly with the or
ganization faction.
Prettyman is the son of DR.. For
est Prettyman, chaplain of the SEN
ate during the Wilson Administra-
ton, and is former member of the
law firm of Butler, Pope, Ballard &
Loos, of Washington and Chicago. He
was member of counsel in the $34,-
100000 Couzens tax case before the
United States Board of Tax Appeals
some years ago.
He campaigned for President Roose-
welt and was rewarded with appoint
nent to the post of general counsel of
the Bureau Of Internal Revenue last
spring. When Secretary Morgenthau
succeeded William H. Woodin as the
Treasury head, however, he resigned,
explaining that Morgenthau desired a
man of his own selection.

of the Damascus district, seeking an
improved road from Purdum to the

Commissioners Tuesday. S. w. Beal

remedied as soon as possible. The
commissioners took the request under
advisement.

Farmers Urged To
Cooperate To Get
Results In County
Annual Convention At Sandy
Spring Is Marked By Stressing
UnificatiOn

| That normal agricultural conditions
in Montgomery County, as well as
elsewhere in the United States, can
best be brought about by cooperation
among farmers, was the theme Of the
sixty-second annual Farmers Conven-
ton of Sandy Spring, held Saturday
at the Sherwood High School.
Representative Hatton w. Summers,
of Texas, County Agent o. w. Ander-
son and DIR. Frank B. Bomberger Of
Baltimore, president of the Co-opera-
tive Bank of the Baltimore land bank
district, told their audience of some
300 delegates and residents Of, the COM
munity who crowded into the auditor
ium of Sherwood High School that
! only through united force could the
farmers successfully cope with the
problems they face.
The Texas legislator declared DUR
ing his talk that the "crisis" is one
that cannot be dealt with entirely by
the Federal Government, and asserted
that, the genius of the people them
selves will figure Importantly in the
outcome.
He said that it distressed him to
see "a great Nation laying down on
the job and depending upon the Fed
eral Government to carry on" adding
that the increasing dependence of the
people is necessitating the development
of great Federal bureaucracy"
Representative Summers declared
that he has been supporting the emer-
gency relief programs which have been
worked out, but not because he be-
lieved in them as permanent policy.
He said that the people have refused
to meet their responsibilities during
the past 20 years and "there was moth
ing else to do but what has been
DONE"
1t was stated by Anderson that the
lack of purchasing power has as much
to do with the current problems fac
ing the farmers as the surplus of
products, and said that this power
must be rebuilt if conditions in the
rural sections are to be remedied.
He said this could be accomplished
/ by curbing production to stop the
flooding of markets, through organi-
zation of marketing groups with "our
city cousins" to reduce the amount Of
profit derived by the middle men,"
and by economic production.
Anderson gave a general explana-
ton of the relief agencies set up BY
the Federal Government and praised
them for construction along Sound,
feasible and workable lines"
The convention was told by DR..
Bomberger that cooperation Is neces-
sary in all undertakings and said that
the farmers should unite to "exers
their influence and put over the things
which they think are best for them,
instead Of letting some one from the
outside come in and tell them what
they should do"
John E. Muncaster, Of Redland, vice
president Of the convention, who
served as the presiding officer in the
enforced absence Of President william

DOUGLAS CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
 LONG SESSION
Citizens App ear to Seek Relief from Water
 Shortage

For more than two hours the City Council was in session last night for the regular monthly busi- ness meeting. Something over Sl7,- GOO was ordered paid in settlement of current bulls. An unusual amou. of coal was sold on the city dock during the month resulting in g. splendid business for that institu- ton.
 Several citizens were present a. the meeting to further beseech the efforts of the Council in relieving ths water shortage.
 Work of the CWA crew was re- viewed and projects lined up for advance planning. Also the need of a federal loan under the PWA for municipal Improvements was further considered and with the promise of the bridge going in soon, it was thought advisable to expedite matters in that direction as much as possible.

 Agreement and dissent was mani fest as the President told of his inslstence on his policies.
 The House adjourned after listen- ing to the address in memory of members who died recently.
