County Extravaganza
Hayed by YOhe

BETHESDA, Md, Oct. is.
Pointing out that Montgomery
county officials in the past have
exceeded, and this year continue
more than ever to exceed the 10
per cent ratio of bonded indebted
ness of the county to assessed
value of real property, by the
issuance of more than 100000

Yohe, chairman of the public
finance committee of the County
Civic Federation declared last
night that governments, like
individuals, should live within
their income"
A thorough study of this years
budget and the one for last year,
Mr.. Yohe said, revealed that $780,
982.90 more was appropriated by
the commissioners this year than
for the fiscal year ending June 80,

toward realization.
Although Secretary Ickes has
not returned from his western

is not expected back for several
days, it is believed likely he may
wire his approval. One of his
aides said today the plans should
be ready for advertisement within

PARKS TO GET
IMPROVEMENTS

Improvements totaling almost
three-quarters of a million dollars
will get under way in Washington
parks shortly, it was learned to-
day at the office of C. Marshall
Finnan. park superintendent.
The program will be launched
within a week. Mr.. Finnan said,
when bids for 100000 worth of
work will be sought.
The improvements include the
relandscaping of six small parks,
repairs on so circles and triangles
and the construction of two swim,
ming pools.
Funds for the improvements
will be derived from the $1,000, 900
allotted to the park system by

TRANSIENT USE
PROTESTED
Holly
Residents of BerWyn
Storm County Board
to Halt Import

BERWYN HEIGHTS, Nd,
Oct. 15.-A move to halt con.
struction of "TugwelltOwn," the
new Government village ad-
joining Berwyn Heights, was
launched today by Senator L.
G. Sasscer, president Of the
Maryland Senate and State
Democratic party leader. SEN
ator SaSscer declared he would
ask Prince Georges county COM
missiOners to join in the fight
on the new project, and that he
will also seek State backing in
his fight.
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, Oct.
15.-Berwyn Heights residents de.
scended on the Prince Georges
county board of commissioners
here today to protest the use of
transient labor at the proposed
$5,500,000 "Tugwell-town" near
Berwyn Heights.
Work was begun on the project
yesterday by $50 Washington tran
sients, while 500 more from Baltl.
more reported early today. Engi-
neers on the project say they
were forced by District and Balti-
more relief officials to take, the
transient load off their hands as
part of the move to transfer 5000
workers from the regular relief
rolls to work pay rolls.
Menace, Say Residents
Residents near the project in
Sist that the laborerS are a men
ace. Since transient camps are to
be built near the proposed 300
acre village, they contend, the
wanderers ultimately will become
local relief problem.
Fears of the residents were re-
peated by members of the County
Welfare Board, meeting at Hyatts-
vile last night. While the board
refrained from any concerted
action, individual members de-
clared they expect trouble from
the use of transient workers and
that their use will raise the
county relief load in the near
future, as the poorest workers
are gradually discarded.
The board also pointed out that
while $50 families, with qualified
workers, must be given direct re-
lief aid by the county, a thousand
outsiders are brought into the
county for work, disregarding ma
tional relief rules on the subject.
Conference Planned
Perry Boswell, chairman Of the
Board of County Commissioners,
said today that Rural Resettle-
ment Administration officials had
suggested that the board confer
with them in washington instead
of the resettlement officers coming
to Marlboro for today's confer
ence.
Eight hundred acres Of virgin
forest are to be denuded for the
project, and most of the trees
ultimately will be burned.
While large quantities are to be
given District and Maryland re-
lief agencies, the wood will not be
easily accessible from existing
roads, while the towns distance
from Washington also makes wood
hauling costly.
Leslie Timmie. chief engineer,
said I'VE will use the wood or give
it away" while other engineers
privately said that they plan to
burn most of it there.

MUSEUM DUE
FOR MALL
Former Secretary Pro-
vides Money for
BuiIdinq

With $4,000, 900 made available
by former Secretary of the Treas
ury Andrew w. Mellon for con-
struction of a great national mu-
scum of art, it was indicated
today that the structure will rise
along the Mall, on the south side
of Constitution Avenue near Four
teenth Street, where the old green
houses now stand.
Mr.. Mellon, who held cabinet
office under three Presidents,
himself approved that site for the
location of an art museum more
than 10 years ago, it was re.
vealed by the Fine Arts Commits
sion. Although Charles Moore,
chairman of the commission, is
away from the Capital this
month, this was confirmed at his
office.
Under Way for Years
For many years the movement
to erect a national gallery in
the Capital has been under way,
and in 1925 Charles A. Platt, dis
tinguished New York architect
who for many years was a mem
ber Of the Fine Arts Commission,
was designated to draw prelimi-
nary plans for the structure. The
plans were made and submitted
to the commission, but as no
appropriation was available to
continue the work the project
was dropped,
Mr.. Platt died In 1898. and as
his plans had reached only the
preliminary stage, members Of the
commission say his sketches prob
ably will be discarded and a new
architect employed.
1t was suggested that in view
of Mr.. Melons gift he would
naturally be consulted by the COM
mission in regard to the choice OF
an architect and the type OF
museum to be erected.
Await Acceptance
So far no official word Of Mr..
Melons gift has been received
here. It was said that as soon as
the gift is rendered formally and
accepted by the Government, Off
cials of the Fine Arts Commits
sion and the Park Planning Com
mission will confer as to details
concerning the site and type OF
building.
Park and Planning officials will
have final say as to the height and
amount of space to be allotted the
building, but the type of architec-
ture must be passed on by the
Fine Arts Commission.
Mr.. Mellon laid aside the neces-
sary funds for the new gallery in
a deed drawn up in Pittsburgh
yesterday.
Own Collection Donated
AS a nucleus for the new mus.
cum, Mr.. Mellon has donated his
own private collection of rare and
priceless paintings. To this collec-
ton will be added other paintings
in years to come.
Mr.. Melons collection of mas
terpieces, many of which are
stored in the Corcoran Art Gal
lery here is said to have cost it's
owner between $4,000, 900 and
$23, 600, 900. Some experts place
the present value much higher. 1t
includes such world-famous pieces
as Raphaels THE Madonna Of
the House of Alba" Boticelli's
Alteration of the Magi," and
Perugino's "The Crucifixion, with
st. John, the Magdalen, and st.
Jerome"

Schumacher to Start.

pY A process of elimination, includ-
~ ing the use of Carl Hubbell Of
the Giants and Dizzy Dean of the
champion Cardinals in yesterdays
regular season games, Schumacher
was nominated to make his All-Star
debut and pitch as long as he can
keep the Americans under control.
The exponent of the "sinker ball
was one of the big reasons why the
Nationals ruled 6-to-5 favorltes to
turn the tables and take their first
All-Star decision. Schumacher has
10 consecutive league victories under
his belt and boasts the most effective
record so far of any finger in either

rane has Lefty Gomez of the Yankees,

Cochrane appear to be that he passed
up his own Henry Greenberg in favor
of Lou Gehrig, and ignored Eric Nc

gilt-edged Joe Cronin. the Boston

The indictment charges further that
the said Cochrane willfully omitted
from his team an outflelder feet

Cochrane might plead in reply that
he took another feet outfielder, Doc

can skip that if the rival managers
are willing to skip it too
The question of good will came up
for discussion before the magnates
assembled here to watch the game
The magnates tried to figure out a
way of pleasing the fans. the ball
players, and the box Office at one and
the same time. They didn't get very
far, but they produced some quaint
notions.
For the sake of everybodys feel
ings, they want to give the all-star
vote back to the fans next year. But
they're just a little afraid that the
fans are incompetent to pick per-
feet ball club. so they proposed that
eighteen players be elected to each
squad by public vote and five by the
vote Of the managers.

This years contest, with the players
picked by the men who know them
best. should prove something one way
or another about the advantages of
different kinds of voting Also, it will
prove that a nine-inning base ball
game can draw some $4,000 people
when the plant is big enough, which
will prove in turn that base ball still
holds slight margin over squash
racquets as our national pastime.

a n RS. MOODY's victory over
Nu Helen Jacobs was the top
IVY performance of a brilliant
4 L tennis career, when you con-
slider all the surrounding details. 1t
took nerve, colder than the middle
of an iceberg to gamble big part
of her tennis reputation after two
years absence from competition,
knowing in advance just what the
odds would be.
One wonders just what twisted
thoughts we're running through Mrs.
Moodys mind as Helen Jacobs came
up for the kill at the decisive point
that meant set, match and champion
ship. For the battle at this critical
moment was out of Mrs. Moody's
reach.
Strangely enough, the older entry.
who had been away from the court
for nearly two years, was in the bet
ter physical shape, and this told the
story down the stretch.
Swimming has been a big
factor in building me up again."
Mrs. Moody said before she
sailed. There we're times when
almost lived in the water to
develop back, arms and legs"
Yet the margin OF defeat and VIC
tory was so thin that it would be a
shame not to have return meeting at
Forest Hills in the next u S. women'S
championship. Mrs. Moody was un-
certain about the U. s. title hunt over
here, but it was at Forest Hills that
the storm first broke and the trouble
started. After what happened at
Wimbledon, where the final result
rocked and wavered along an invisible
wire, another stand at Forest Hills
next month would turn this cham
pionship into one of the tennis
classics.
AS it is. the ghost Of that lost kill

easiest chances of the match-will
haunt Miss Jacobs for a long time

it is when the spotlight is blazing.
AS the case now stands, Mrs. Moody
needs no further proof in her behalf
She has written one Of the greatest
chapters in the history of sport.
An Inside Angle.
THERE is an inside angle connected
with Mrs. Helen Wills Moody S
arrival in the final stand at Wimble-
don that is not generally known.
This concerns Harry Hillman. Dart
mouths track coach, foot ball trainer
and all-around handy man.
Some years ago. Bill Tilden told me
that the main trouble with most tennis
players was due to one major fault
they were not able to sense the point
of attack or defense in time to get
there ahead of the next stroke. This
forced a hurried. misdirected return.
1T is important" Tilden said, Ito
figure in advance just where you
should be on your next stroke and get
there in hurry so that you will be
set and ready to make your return.
