Before N. R. A. Group.

Following hearings before the Nation

Council at Cleveland, and Oscar Haue-
ter. leader In the union.

tivities Behncke, one OF the country's
senior transport pilots. said the pilots
had been forced to organize to pro-
tect hours and wages. He said they
have been subject to intimidation all
over the country" resulting in frequent
designations from the union.

given to pilot who had been dis
charged previously "for conduct unbe-
coming a pilot" The man was given
a job. Behncke said only when he
offered to fly a plane during the strike
crisis in October.
Members of the Labor Board partici-
patting in the hearing were F. j. Haas,
>Plerre . ou Font. WllIlam Green ana
George Berry. The pilots were rep

MARLBORO FACES
RAISE IN TAX RATE
Law Putting Street Control
in Road Body's Hands
Is Blamed.
BY a Stan Correspondent of The Star.

By Stan Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, January
19.-Marlboro's 10-cent town tax rate
the lowest in Prince Georges County
and probably the lowest In the State
may have to be raised because of the
new law placing control of the streets
In the hands Of the State Roads COM
mission.
T. Van Clagett. president of the
Board Of Town Commissioners, ad-
mitted this was possibility in making
public the annual report to Town Treas
urer Fred w. Wilson. The rate is fixed
annually in June.
| The report showed q balance Of only
$S9.2l in the municipal Golfers on De-
cember 80, as compared with a balance
Of $557.58 at the end Of 1882. The town
has no bonded debt.
$500 Gas Taxes Received.
Commissioner Clagett explained that
under the new law Marlboro has re-
ceived an allotment of about 5000 as its
share Of the gasoline tax receipts, but
| this money must be used on streets
| and sidewalks.
| In previous years the town received
q similar sum from the county COM
missioners' road tax levy and used some
o: the money to pay for street lighting,
the largest item Of expenditure under
the municipal budget.
1ncidently. the town has not yet re-
ceived the street work requested Of the
State Roads Commission under its 1898
allotment Of $500. Commissioner Clagett
! said.
| $l,648.51 Taken In.
Treasurer Wilson's report showed re-
ceipts for the past year amounted to
sl,648.5l, consisting Of s46O93 collected
under the l0-cent levy, $500 from the
county commissioners SIS from the
State controller. $40 rent Of a truck

most simply by two charts that hang

Public Works Administration One OF
these charts shows an ever-lengthen-

Legal Help Needed
To the Editor of the Times:

To the Editor of the Times:
An incident came to my atten.
ton today, bringing home the
thought that Washington should
have a Legal Aid Society far
more active than the one we
have.
A noncommissioned Army Off
Ger and two companions were
standing in front of a Ninth st.
theater the other morning at 3
O'Clock, waiting for the rain to
Subside.
The "non-com" espied a sailor
he had not seen for years. There
followed a hilarious greeting.
\ Two policemen seized the Army
nan, without molesting his com.
panions. Three hours later, or
Jess, they released him, on pay
ment of $40 bond, charged with
drunkenness. I saw the Army
man shortly after it happened
and, if he had been drinking to
excess, all evidence of it escaped
my trained eye.
The Army man wanted to
fight the charge. To fight,
however, would entail consid-
cradle expense, lawyer, wit
nesses. etc.-and possible con-
viction. Not to fight-just $40.
He chose the latter.
Any night-hawk will tell you
OF similar experiences. If the
police do not actually prey on
tipplers, other than out-and-out
drunkards who endanger them.
selves and others, why don't
they adopt the golden rule"
policy that succeeds in Cleve-
land and other cities-that of
holding intoxicated persons un-
til 5 a. m. and then releasing
them in time to get to work
without the payment of a dime

Objects To Hunting

OUICSbO Az AAuAVS
To the Editor of The Times:
I desire to protest against the
hunting and slaughtering OF in
offensive animals in the name
Of sport each year during the
annual hunting season.
It is revolving to many Of
us to see this annual butchery
of animals and especially the
fox-hunting so prevalent in the
South. To pursue and track
down a terrified small animal
like a fox with guns and dogs
and finally to see it torn to
pieces is not sport but cruelty
as the animal has no chance
to escape as there are three
against it-men, dogs and guns.
I see no craftsmanship or fair
play in such a condition.
I believe this blood lust
should be curbed by an educa.
tional campaign, as hunting
encourages brutality and cal
lousness and cruelty in boys
and is a relic Of the dark ages.
