DRIVE ON DISEASE
IN D. c. IS MAPPED
FOR RELIEF FUND
Tests to Identity Victims of
tuberculosis Urged as
100000 Project.
OFFICIALS TO SUPPORT
DR.. RUHLAND'S PLANS
Health Head Outlines Practical
Program Based on Aliens
Suggestions.

An unprecedented attack on the
tuberculosis problem Of the National
Capital, making use Of 100000 OF
Federal work relief funds for case
work, was being mapped out in final
form today by District officials.
Health Officer George c. Rutland
was completing details of a program
calling for widespread examination
of residents to identify suspected
5000 tuberculosis cases which here
tofore have not been reported.
The program is expected to meet
the approval Of the District Works
Progress Board and Commissioner
George E. Allen, works administrator
for the District. Federal officials will
be asked to grant approval of the
project.
The program Of DR.. Rutland would
carry into force a tentative program
announced weeks ago by Commits
sioner Allen for employment of emu
merators and nurses in a campaign
to list persons suffering from the
disease.
Plan Skin Tests.
DR.. Ruhland'S plan would follow
generally the outlines Of the tests
recently made of hundreds of senior
students of the high schools. Civic
association members would be asked
to submit voluntarily to the skin and
X-ray tests to determine If they are
tuberculosis victims. Either public or
private care would be urged on those
showing positive tuberculosis reactions
Commissioner Allen is expected to
approve the project and ask quick
approval by Federal authorities
Weeks ago he announced he planned
expansion Of the drive on tuberculosis
through the works program.
Without waiting to see details OF
DR.. Ruhland's program, Allen said.
Investment in public health is the
best kind of investment. I shall do
all in my power to make the proposed
program a success"
Called Forward Step.
DR.. Ruhland emphasized this is not
a complete program. 1t of itself can
not eradicate tuberculosis from the
District. In the final analysis. how
ever, it will be an important step for
ward, aimed at adequate control Of
the tuberculosis problem"
Recent reports showed the District
has gained the unfortunate rank of
second place in death rate from the
white plague, with rate OF 100
deaths per 100000 population, second
only to San Antonio, Tex, with q
rate of las per 100000.
There are now under treatment for
tuberculosis in the District 6,009
cases. DR.. Rutland believes there are
at least, 5000 more which have not
been reported. The proposed program
is designed to identify these and de-
termine proper arrangements for their
care.
The 100000 program to employ
about 100 works progress employees
in a new attack on the problem, was
drafted following conferences between
Dr.. Rutland and Mrs. Ernest r.
Grant, executive officer of the District
tuberculosis Association.

COLLATERAL PAID
BY JUDGE SMITH
Rockville Controversy Ended
by Action-Jurist DepIores
"Animosity."
By Staff Correspondent of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, August 10
Strife between Harold c. Smith,
Montgomery County police justice,
and the Rockville Town Council, over
the latter's recently-inaugurated traf-
flc law drive was closed issue today.
Judge Smith posted $3.50 collateral
on an overtime parking charge and
thus put halt to efforts of the town
fathers to effect his arrest for ignoring
parking ticket placed on his ma
chine a week before
The collateral was turnei over to
Justice of the Peace Charles M. Webb
by Miss Vivian Simpson, local at
torney who was retained by the judge,
and the jurist said he would forfeit
the money.
In a statement to newspaper men
after the case was closed Judge Smith
said he felt there had been "a great
deal of unnecessary animosity and
persistence in the pressing of this
charge"
He explained he had never been
properly served with a warrant, but
despite this, his sole reason for de-
laying the posting of collateral was
his inability to determine to whom
collateral on town ordinance viola
ton should be paid. He asserted the
law was not clear on that point.
Il wish to sa ythat I, as the police
justice for Montgomery County, am
as amenable to the law as any lay
man." the judge declared. "This
applies to the parking ordinances of
Rockville as well as to any other laws
Il hope that it will not be neces-
sary in the future for me to stop court
proceedings to move my car to avoid
being served a ticket. I think that
there should be some provision made
for county officials so they could park
on the street without being molested."
Judge Smith said that it is neces-
sary for the officials to be in the court
house all day and it is difficult for
them to properly carry out their
duties If they must leave every two
hours to move their cars. He added:
81 am glad the incident is over"
Mayor Douglas M. Blandford said
the council would make no further
attempt to have the Circuit Court
designate a justice of the peace to
issue a warrant for Judge Smiths
arrest and try the case.
THAT ends it so far as the council
is concerned" he asserted. Our
only object in pressing this case was
to have Judge Smith recognize the
town ordinances and obey them"
Leslie B. Thompson, the towns
new officer. who was appointed three
weeks ago to wage an intensive cam
paign against traffic law .violators,
maintained discreet silence when in
formed that Judge Smith had posted
collateral on the charge Thompson
brought against him.

STATE RESIDENCE BILLS
SIGNED BY ROOSEVELT
Third New Law Provides Bridge
Facilities for Railroad
Tracks.

Before leaving on his week end
cruise down the Chesapeake, Presi-

District of Columbia bills, two OF

men to maintain residences in nearby
Maryland and Virginia without sacri-
ficing their jobs.
The third bill provides for con-
struction of bridges and underpasses
in connection with railroad tracks
entering the Union Station.

An investigation of alleged Job re.
fusals on the part of persons on Dis
trict relief rolls has revealed only foul
clear-cut cases indicating an unwill-
ingness to work, it was disclosed today
in a report made public at Federal
relief headquarters. An exhaustive
inquiry had been ordered by Admins
traitor Harry l.. Hopkins.
Out of $4,000 employable relief per-
sons, the report showed, it was pos
sible to locate only 220 cases which
were claimed to have turned down
jobs in April or May. Hopkins had
ordered the investigation after re-
peated criticisms indicating wholesale
numbers of persons on relief refusing
jobs in private employment.
Negligible Factor"
"On the basis of careful examination
Of the data obtained, it is unmistak-
ably evident that unwillingness on the
part of clients to accept work Is a
negligible factor in the problem of re-
lief administration in Washington, "
the report stated. THE difficulty lies,
rather, in distributing wholly made
quate amount of work among $500
employable persons now in the relief
population of Washington who are
registered for work"
Investigators of the. F. E. r. A,
supervised by Edward ]. Webster,
collected their data mainly from the
United States Employment Service,
from the records of the local relief
administration and personal inter-
views.
Charges Refuted.
Narrowing the investigation down
to 220 suspicious cases, the results
shown in the report clearly refute
charges of wholesale malingering.

dustrial conditions are the best

dustrial conditions are the best
since 1880, so far as production and
sales are concerned. That seeming
ly anomaly is easily explained. To-
day many industries are selling al
most as much as they sold in the
boom days-but are earning much
smaller profits, largely because of
higher taxes. Many industries are
involved in an endless struggle with
Washington official bodies, such as
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission and the Federal Trade Com
mission, and fear that continuance
of New Deal policies will eventually
mean the usurption of the func-
lions of industrial management by
the government. Many business
leaders honestly believe that the
current business improvement is
without a sound foundation-that it
results from vast government spend
ing, from tampering with the money
system, from a sort of credit infla-
ton, and that crash is inevitable.
And practically all business men are
certain that the rising public debt,
which must be reflected in higher
taxes, is the worst possible threat
to stability.
This attitude may be justified or
not, but current trends indicate
that the President will go into the
1886 campaign with business solid
ly against him. In 1882 business
leaders had little actual enmity to-
ward Mr.. Roosevelt and he had
good measure of industrial support.
Has the changed attitude of bust
ness seriously damaged his chance
of reelection? One man't guess is as
good as another's in answering that
riddle.
