BY SLau correspondent oI Inc Quar-.
TAKOMA PARK, Md, April IT,
Roy L. Walin, 80 years old, was ar
rested at his home here today on a
charge Of conspiracy to defraud the
Washington Missionary College. Walin
was dismissed as business manager
and treasurer Of the college two weeks
ago pending an audit of his accounts
and an investigation of his activities
in an alleged maple sugar industry
swindle.
The former college official was ar
rested by Detective Corpl. Theodore F.
Vollten of the Montgomery County
Police Force on a conspiracy warrant
sworn to by the detective.
Vollten declared that the audit OF
Walin's accounts has not been COM
pleted, but that sufficient evidence
has been uncovered to show that
Walin exceeded his authority as treas
urer of the institution"
Walin was dismissed after the ar
rest of Charles Grant James, SO, OF
3707 Thrty-f1fth street, on charge
of obtaining money from the college
under false pretenses. The warrant
WAS SWOIu W ny H. n. IldiIllllOll, piCo-
ident of the Washington Missionary
College, who has been installed tenn
porarily in Walins position.
James is at liberty under bond
pending a preliminary hearing in the
Montgomery County Police Court at

A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of his wife, police say, but il
will not be served until she RECEIVERS
from a nervous breakdown for which
she is being treated at the Chestnut
Lodge Sanitarium, in Rockville.
Walin's bond was set at SIS 900. He
is being held in the Rockville Jail. A

PARENTS PROTEST
MUD AT SCHOOL
Alice Deal Junior High PU-
pills Forced to Wade
Into Building.

With their children forced to wade
through deep mud to reach the doors
of the Alice Deal Junior High School,
parents of pupils in the Reno section
of Chevy Chase and those from else
where attending that school have pro-
tested vigorously to various authorities
against conditions surrounding that
building.
At the insistence of the Park and
Planning Commission, the Alice Deal
Junior High School was constructed
to face south on what eventually will
be the Fort drive. No street or thor
oughfare of any kind existed when
the school was constructed, but deep
cut into a hillside was made to per-
NIT an approach to the entrance OF
the building.
Although the school was opened in
September, 1881, parents of the pupils
point out. nothing has been done to-
ward building the Fort drive, and
pupils have to traverse temporary
streets and open fields. To offset the
handicap. Maj. John c. Gotwals, U.
S. A, Engineer Commissioner for the
District, had temporary surface put
on the dirt leading up to the school.
This served until Park and Planning
Commission workmen used this tenn
porary road to operate their trucks
during a recent project Immediately
west of the school.
As a result of this, the temporary
surface of the road had been cut to
pieces and pupils have to wade
through sea of mud to reach their
school.
Maj. Gotwals said late yesterday
that the only thing left for him to do
is to throw more cinders and other
temporary surfacing material back
onto the morass to give the children
some relief.
