Junior League Horse Show at Lynchburg
Saturday to Attract Leading
Horse Lovers Of Region

con-alSo the Boys Virginia
Episcopal School, which has DR..
Oscar Randolph as head master,
are all becoming greatly inter.
ested in horses and riding. With.
in the past few years they have
improved wonderfully and some
Of them really ride beautifully.
Mrs. E. P. Miller, one Of the
Horse Show committee, had her
foot crushed last winter when
her horse fell while crossing a
hard-surfaced road and was rid
ing again with her foot in cast
long before she was walking
what could be keener than this?
She really outdid Louis Merri-
man, of Maryland, who rode on
a side saddle when he broke his
leg, rather than not go, and
Archie Randolph, M. F. H., Of
Piedmont Hunt, who followed
hounds all winter in a car, his
broken leg in a cast. Mrs. Mil
Ter won some blue ribbons last
season with her horses in the
Keswick Horse Show.
OF course, the country is
rather rough for fox hunting,
but they like the hounds fast
down there, and some of our
hounds are among the best.
The hunts make up in excite
ment what they lack in style.
When a fox hunt starts all work
is dropped and the countryside
follows on horseback, afoot, or
in a T-Model Ford. Besides the
leading business and profes-
sional men the field may con-
tain "Ole" Uncle Somebody,
who is supposed to have been
bedridden years ago, but on
this occasion is very alert and
interpreting exactly what each
hound is saying. These hunt
ing days are really thrilling and

INCREASE ASKED
FOR HOSPITAL

Supplemental estimates to pro.
vide for operation of Children's
Hospital and for improvements at
the farmers market, Tenth and
E Streets Southwest, will be for
warded to the Bureau of the
Budget by the District Commits
sioners either today or tomorrow.
The estimates will ask the ap-
preparation Of $4,000 more for the
hospital. The District appropria.
ton bill, now being marked up by
q House committee, contains an
item of $4,000 for the hospital,
but local officials believe this sum
insufficient to meet the needs of
the institution for the year.
For the market the Commis-
sioners are asking $23, to pro-
vide for erection of a shelter and
the installation of paving and
drains. Preparation of this esti-
mate was ordered after Melvin c.
Hazen, president of the Board of
Commissioners, had inspected the
market as result of complaints
by farmers that facilities there
were inadequate.

MRS.ROOSEVELT
TAKES LUNCH
At SCHOOL
First Lady Visits the Central
Kitchen at Wisconsin Ave-;
Finds Soup Very Good

Mrs. Roosevelt today made a
thorough investigation of the
serving of free lunches to under
privileged school children.
The First Lady visited the cen
trail school kitchen, located in the
Wisconsin Avenue Manual Train
ing School at Wisconsin Ave. and
R st. N. W., to inspect the pre-
pairing of lunches during the
Easter holidays.
The Soup Tasted
Luncheon was being prepared
when Mrs. Roosevelt arrived, a
luncheon consisting of noodle
soup, half-pint of milk, an orange,
and a bread-and-butter sandwich.
She said the soup was very
good" Then she asked about
plans for menus during the sum-
mer months and urged that the
menu be varied so that the food
will not be so heavy during the
warm weather.
She was quite concerned over
the fact that there are no ovens
at the kitchen, with the result
thta no baked food can be served.
Miss Sue A. Frick, assistant di-
rector of the kitchen, informed
Mrs. Roosevelt then that there
were no plans for installing ovens.
The First Lady then peeped into
all the ice boxes and remarked
that they were in good condition
and every clean.
Mrs. Roosevelt's visit was so un-
expected that Mrs. Katherine
NICK. Ansley, director, was not
there. Miss Frick showed her
around.
From the kitchen, Mrs. Roose-
velt drove to the Corcoran School,
where lunch was being served.
The luncheon for the older chill
dren of the school was brought
from the kitchen, but in the
kindergarten, the luncheon con-
sisted of food prepared at the
school.
. The menu there was meat loaf,
baked potatoes, spinach, bread
and butter sandwich, prune whip
and milk. Mrs. Roosevelt was
very much pleased with this
menu and again asked what plans
were being made for the summer.

Federal Grant Puts 5000 to Work In District

NExtenSiOn of
Ciuil Service

Senator Kenneth McKellar
(DO Of Tennessee today filed a
motion in the Senate to recon
slider the bill placing the en-
ployes in the legislative depart
ment under civil service. The
bill passed the Senate last
Thursday.
Senator McKellar said he is
in sympathy with the provisions
of the bill which would permit
the employees to put aside a GER
tain percentage of their salaries
with a view to creating a fund
for retirement, but, he added,
the measure in its present form
would cause some of the en-
ployeS to lose their jobs.
Under the civil service re-
quirement law those employees
reaching a certain age must re-
tire, and Senator McKellar said
there are numerous efficient
employees who would be affected
by this.

District Officials Plan
Relief Fund SURVEY

With a rev ID obtaining ac-
curate Ggufes Oh which to base
their pisa before the Senate
Appropriations Committee, Dis
tTict officials, it was learned to-
day, will make an investigation
into complaints that some relief
funds here have been unwisely
expended.
Complaints have come in from
various sources that some who
have been getting relief are not
in as great distress as are others
who have not been aided. One
District official said:
"There have been no specific
charges brought against any,
one, but numerous complaints
have come to my office re.
garding the equitable diStribu-
tiOn of the funds. OF course
whenever funds of this ma
ture are meted out there are
always some complaints, and it
is virtually impossible to dis
pense the funds so equitably
that there will not be some
who will present grievances. 80
81 doubt that there is a great
deal to the complaints, but
they will be looked into before
the Senate Appropriations Com.

we can answer all questions to
Justify our request"

NEW. PROGRAM
NOW UNDER
FULL WAY
More to Be Given Jobs Later
in Week, All From old
CWA Rolls

With a new Federal grant Of
$150,0O0, the Districts Emergency
Works program got into full swing
today. Approximately 5000 per-
sons went to work under the new
Set-up.
The $150,OO0, with the balance
from previous grants, will be Suf-
ficient to carry the relief program
through this week, according to
local officials. This program in
cludes direct relief, emergency
works, administrative costs, ma
terial and transient relief.
All From CWA Rolls
The 5000 persons who went to
work today were transferred from
the rolls of the local CWA, which
went out of existence last week.
All had been sent to the CWA
from relief rolls.
Officials hope to place more per
sons in jobs later in the week, prob
ably Thursday morning. All new
workers must hold work cards
from the District Emergency Re-
lief Administration, and work will
be limited according to their in
dividual needs.
In addition to the 5000 on the
emergency works rolls there are
approximately 4,500 engaged here
on Federal civil works projects,
which will continue until May I.
These draw an aggregate pay roll
of more than $80,000 per week and
are under control of the local civil
works authorities, but their pay is
provided from Federal funds and is
not taken from local relief money.
Seek $795,OOO for April
The District has asked for $780,
600 to carry out relief work during
April. The $150,O00 received today
is believed to be in anticipation of
a grant for the full month Of
April.
Commissioner George E. Allen,
who was to return today from q
weeks vacation at st. Augustine,
Fla, is to call at the office of Fed
eral Emergency Relief Administra-
tor Harry L. Hopkins today to dis
cuSs the April grant.
Discrimination of the CWA
project has stopped work on the
four additional dormitories under
construction at the District Re
formatory at Lorton, and local Of
ficials are seeking some means Of
resuming the work, it was learned
today.
Work Well Advanced
The buildings were being con-
structed through cooperation of
local and Virginia CWA authori-
ties, the funds coming from the
District allotment and the labor
being furnished by Virginia. An
effort will be made to work out q
similar Setup under the Emergency
Works program.
The four buildings now are
about IS per cent complete. Ma
terials to finish them are on hand.
according to Capt. M. M. Barnard,
superintendent of penal institU-
tions, and about 30 days work
would be required to finish tho
structures.

ers, today personally compli-
mented and commended the po-
lice. He said he will ask the board
tomorrow to adopt a resolution Of

Patrolman Watson Salkeld, as
signed to radio patrol car duty in
the Fifth Precinct, was the hero
of the gun battle. He put four
bullets in Young'S head before the
latter could fire.
Patrolman Salkeld and his part
ner, Robert J. Tomkins, were at
Seventh st. and Pennsylvania
Ave. s. e. on lookout for a small
roadster containing four men, one
Of them colored, wanted for a
series of robberieS beginning about

pedestrian ran up to their auto
mobile and told them a filling sta
ton two blocks away was being
held up.
Race Car to Rescue
They picked up Patrolman
w. E. Bracey, on post at the inter
section, and raced to the rescue.
A small roadster was in the run
way, its engine idling and a man
at the wheel. Patrolman Tomkins
held his service pistol on the
driver, who, the policemen said.
drew a gun, but quickly Surrend-
cred. That was Mullen, the police
said.
Policeman Salkeld looked in the
window and saw masked man
rifling the cash register. At the
head of the stairs leading into
the basement was a colored man
holding gun.
The patrolman smashed the
glass with his gun butt and called
on the men to surrender. Instead,
the masked man dropped a hand
full of change and vaulted a rail-
ing by the stairs and leaped into
the basement. The colored man
attempted to get a bead" on Sal
keld who started firing and the
colored man pitched head first
into the cellar.
Routed by Tear Gas
Policeman r. G. Thompson
guarded Mullen while Policemen
Salkeld and Tomkins threw tear
gas into the basement, bringing
out O'Brien.
Huddled in the corner of the
basement was Opie c. Wall, TOO
block East Capitol ST., night man
ager. He was semi-conSciouS from
a blow on the head.

ton and political bias, It was charged
today In q letter forwarded to Harry
Greenstein, civil works administrator
for Maryland, by Montgomery County
c. w. A. heads.
In setting up the local program to
carry out your instructions" the let
ter declares, I'VE feel that an attempt
to discriminate in hours Of labor al
lowed those living in towns Of $500
and in the country or thickly settled
unincorporated suburban areas will not
only be economically unsound on the
basis Of their respective family needs,
but 1t also opens the door to charges
OF discrimination and political bias
heretofore entirely lacking in this
county"
Hopkins last week ordered that all
c. w. A. employees, except the so-called
white collar class" be reduced fSom
80 to IS hours week in open country
or counties, while employees in towns
of $500 or more were cut from 80 to
"a hours a week. Hopkins instruc-
tions were relayed here by Greenstein.
I'VE realize that the points that we
are raising are not peculiar to this
county, but again We feel that 1t Is our
