RICHMOND, Va, Aug. "a.
Governor Peery today named Cir
cult Judge j. A. Buchanan, Of
Tazewell, to preside over the trial
of Major Robert ]. Kent, jr., which
opens at Fincastle a week from

Major Kent is charged with
kidnapping and numbering Mrs.

him to hear it.

Mrs. Hastigs' body in a lonely
spot in Pennsylvania with two
bullets through the head.

Housing Administration.
Improvements are attempted
that are not part of the real
estate, and many others that
would otherwise qualify are found
to be impractical and eXtravagant.
For these and other reasons, the
administration is advising the
home owner to consult an archi'
tect. The architect is an expert
and naturally knows more OF
what can be done with a fixed
capital than a layman.
It is considered probable that,
in order to cooperate better with
the Housing Administrators pro-
gram, the architects organization
will revise its fee schedule and
make it possible for the home
owner to obtain expert advice at
lower cost than ever before in
the history of housing.
Ben T. Webster is back on the
job again after a severe and
puzzling illness. He looks none
the worse for wear and opineS
that things are getting better in
the real estate world.
They say that Jimmy Salkeld
gets free eats at the little shoppe
halfway between the Veterans
Bureau and the Shannon-Luchs
office because he is such an at
traction to the little Veterans Ad'
ministration girls. Anyway, Jimmy
eats there every day and all the
little V. B. girls flock in during
their lunch hour.
Dame Rumor is quite busy con-
corning the new construction 60
ing up at Sixteenth and T Streets
Northwest on the northeast
corner.
There has been change in the
zoning regulations for that area
recently and it cannot be a com.
mercial development. The whole
thing is in the dark at present
and lots of people on that street
are wondering just how dark it
is going to remain.

DISPUTE
BEFORE COURT
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
A new type of labor squabble
was to be aired in Federal court
here today.
The dispute is between the Rail.
way Clerks Association and the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
way over which organization is to
represent the clerks in negotia-
tions with company officials un-
der terms of the Railway Labor
Act.
AS originally planned, the mat
ter was to have been settled by
secret ballot under supervision of
the National Mediation Board.
But new dispute between the
two organizations over who has
right to vote now has arisen.
The association charges that the
brotherhood, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, is
barring certain eligible men from
voting.
The action comes into court by
way of a petition by association
officials for an injunction re.
straining the National Mediation
Board from continuing with the
secret ballot until the question of
eligibility to vote can be settled
by the courts.

The fast-waning summer days
bring dancing and fishing to the
fore as two of the principal attrac-

recreation spot of many Washing

Cooler nights have brought a

the ballroom, where Frank Flani-
gan's Southerners on five nights a

rhythms. Playing their first sea-
son at Seaside, Flanagan and his
boys have won for themselves a
large and enthusiastic following.
