tention by Senator Tom Walsh's re-
lentless investigation.
MIR. Roberts knows something Of
farm problems through his ownership
Of a 700-ecre farm, 80 miles outside
of Philadelphia. Amid the exacting
cares of his judicial Office, he finds
time to keep the rum Of this farm,
which he visits periodically to look
over the blooded live stock.
Justice Roberts name was on the
lips of every lawyer in the country as
soon as the now famous decision came
down, declaring unconstitutional the
law obliging railroads to put In q
pension system. Suggestion was i'm
mediately made that he would be
good presidential candidate for the
Republican party In 1885.
Justice Roberts was a Republican
in politics before President Hoover
appointed him to the Supreme Court
in 1880. In his judicial attitude
toward some Of the New Deal policies
Mr.. Roberts has been strikingly hber-
alistic-and yet he has sometimes
sided with the so-called conservative
group against Roosevelt policies.
Regarded as the most impressive
proof of Justice Roberts liberalism
was his joining the majority view in
the courts 5-to-4 decision sustaining
the Roosevelt devaluation Of the dol
lar and calling in all monetary gold.
Justice Roberts took what was con-
sidered the liberal view in his atti-
tude on the very first New Deal issue
to come before the court-that, in
January, 1884, in which the court,
by 5-to-4 split, upheld the Mime
sofa mortgage moratorium law.
He was again on the liberal side in
sustaining the right Of the State of
New York to fix q minimum price
for milk
But he was considered to have
swung over to the conservative side
in the courts ruling that the Federal
Trade Commission was without au-
thority to order the dissolution of
merged corporations. He sided again
with the conservatives in holding that
courts could not increase amounts Of
damages set by juries.

SURVEY REVEALS
ELECTRICAL NEEDS
U. Of NJ. Officials Ready to
Submit Results of Study
in State.
BY GEORGE PORTER.
: STAN Correspondent Of The Star.

COLLEGE PARK, Md, May 1s.--
With Southern Maryland farmers
anxious to obtain electric service un-
der the Federal rural electrification
appropriation, University Of Maryland
extension service officials explained
today they are ready to submit plans
covering the States as soon as WASH
ington authorities are prepared to
receive them.
A. v. Krewatch, specialist in agri-
cultural engineering, has q list OF 654
extensions in the 23 counties of Mary
land, which a survey has disclosed
to be practical at this time, and is
ready to recommend them whenever
Federal oficials begin receiving apph-
cations.
So i'm Nearby Counties.
The list includes 81 line extensions
in Montgomery County and rs in
Prince Georges. They would add 3S
miles Of distributing lines to the
present Montgomery County network,
which embraces 220 miles. In Prince
Georges, now served by 1874 miles, IS
more miles would be added.
II all the projects were carried out,
1913 new customers could receive CEN
tral station service in Montgomery
where 347 farmers now receive such
service. Prince Georges now has 282
farmers receiving service from power
companies, and this total could be
increased by 191 If the proposed prof.
ects are developed. In both counties
1t should be noted, there are quite
q number Of persons other than farm
ers who receive service from the rural
lines.
Montgomery County Is regarded a.
presenting q slightly better field for
rural electrification than Prince
Georges because It has a higher per-
centage Of owner occupied farms and
fewer tenant farmers. OF the 1871
farms in Montgomery, 1887 are
worked by the owner, So by managers
and 38l by tenants. In Prince Georges
Evening star., 1935-05-19

there are 1921 farms, 1914 Of which
are occupied by the owners, Al under
the direction of managers and 736 in
the hands of tenants.
At present 232 Montgomery County
farms have home electric plants.
There are $50 such plants in Prince
Georges.
While Fedel al authorities ponder the
plans under which they hope to en-
courage rural electrification, Maryland
officials see three possible courses which
may be followed:
1. Farm co-operatives may be estab-
lished for the purpose of extending
rural lines.
2. Loans may be made direct to
farmers to pay for electrification Of
their farms.
3. Loans may be made to the power
companies to stimulate their extension
program, possibly with the speciflca-
ton that relief labor be used.

TREASURY STUDY
PLANNEDBYPUG
Montgomery Prosecutor to
Act on Audit Report After
Jury Session.
ny a Stat. Correspondent of The Star.

ny Stau COITcSpCUQcut VI 4AS 0t1As
ROCKVILLE, Md, May 18.-States
Attorney James H. Pugh said tonight
he will begin a study Of the report
made on an audit of the county
treasured,s accounts Immediately fol-
lowing termination of the special
grand jury session due to open here
Monday morning.
The prosecutor has made q cursory
examination of the voluminous re-
port, which indicates that the county
failed to collect $88,822.78 in taxes
during the 1928 levy years, but de-
clared he would be unable to devote
the time required for a careful study
until he completed his presentation
OF cases to the grand jury.
Pugh asserted that he would be
prepared within 10 days to make
thorough investigation of the audit,
compare the report with the original
records Of County Treasurer J. Forest
Walkers Office and determine whether
there Is any evidence that warrants
action in his capacity as States at
torney.
Time and Study Required
"This report is very lengthy and one
that will require great deal OF time
and study to ascertain whether or
not there Is any evidence which will
require action on my part" Pugh
said.
The audit report was sent to Pugh
after a representative Of a Baltimore
auditing firm employed by the new
Fusion party administration to make
an examination Of Walkers accounts
informed the county commissioners
that the $8s,822.78 represented levies
on real estate that should have been
advertised for tax delinquencies.
Meanwhile, as Pugh awaited the
opening of his inspection of the re-
port, counsel for the county COM
missionerS today began an effort to
collect s12,94828 on checks accepted
in payment Of county taxes, but re-
turned from banks because of in
sufficient funds.
The auditing firms representative
told the board on Thursday that the
checks had been held by the county
for several years without any attempt
to realize the sum they represented
other than the original effort to
cash them.
Payment Of Checks.
Edward Peter, the boards attor-
ney, stated today that the checks had
been referred to him by the commits
sipners and that he has already opened
negotiations for payment from sew
eral of the persons who issued the
checks to pay of their taxes.
He pointed out, however, that some
of the checks have been held so long
that they have become worthless un-
der the three-year statutory imita-
ton. Peter said that only through
voluntary payment could the county
collect on some of the checks.
Two of the checks, the attorney
stated, were received by the county
as early as 1926, several years before
Walker took office.

HARRISONBURG, Va, May 18.-
The long-awaited oil drilling opera
tions In the mountainous region Of
Brooks Gap, in Northwest Rocking
ham, will get under way with cere-
monies Monday afternoon.
c. w. Thomas of tine Bergton De-
velopment Co., composed of local peo-
pie, has assembled his well rig on
a tract near the Bergton school house.
The 43,000-pound outfit was towed
over httle-used mountain trails to
reach the location, as the bridges on
the Brooks Gap highway were not
strong enough to support it.
Thomas, who has been prospecting
in the area for the last year, expects
to hit gas at 800 feet and oil at
1900 feet. He has options on II 900
acres between Orders and Matthias.
w. Va, and bordering on the George
Washington National Forest in the
Allegheny Mountains. Surface gas
assures and oil deposits have been
found in several spots.

was elected to Congress, will be the
speaker at the "spudding- cere-
monies Charles L. Souder, Bergton
merchant, will be the master Of cere-
monies at the dedication.
With two expert 1rillers on hand
and operating the drill day and night,
Thomas expects to hit gas within a
month or six weeks.

to which course should be followed.
MIR. Krewatch advises farmers to con-
slider their capacity to use electric
service and the practicability Of build
ing and maintaining adequate lines
before petitioning for extensions. He
also stressed the necessity of CO.
operation among individual farmers
and the unfairness Of q few waiting
to apply for service after the others
have paid for line extensions.
Merely having line to the front
door and electric lights is not enough, I"
Krewatch says. Both the utilities
and the farmers must appreciate the
necessity of dependable, adequate
lines for the entire farLa establish
ment, including milk houses, poultry
plants. dairy barns and incubator
houses"
The specialist also advocates q
single-meter block rate for farmers, 50
they may pay for current used on the
most equitable basis.
His recommendations are based on
an extensive survey Of rural eiectrifi-
cation recently completed. He de-

resolution asking o survey, said resi-
dents of Westphalia, near Marlboro,
have drawn up q petition for electric
service under the Federal program
and sent it to the Maryland Public
Service Commission.
Farmers in northwestern Charles
County also are anxious to receive
service and have appealed to the
county agent for information as to
the proper procedure, Krewatch said.
