RUTLAND FLAYS
CONCRESSFOR
GUT IN FUNDS
"Can't Understand" Refusal of
Money vitality Needed;
Rep. Norton Backs Him

Defeated in his effort to OBJ
tain funds for the creation of two
additional health department
posts which he holds necessary
for the safeguard of public health
in the Capital, DR.. George C.
Rutland, new District health
officer, pondered his next step
today but was admittedly lin the
dark"
One alternative suggested was
that other employees in the de-
partment be given 15-day pay
less furlough yearly to make way
for the $6,480 expenditure that
would be necessary for the new
posts. To this suggestion, how
ever, DR.. Rutland is not favor
able.
DR.. Rutland bitterly assaulted
the action of Congress in refus-
ing his appeal for an increased
health department appropriation
which would have made the hir-
ing Of the two new officers pos
sible. He said:
"I can't understand how men
of intelligence could refuse the
funds when the need was so
apparent"
The health director praised the
action of the Medical Society of
the District of Columbia which
has voted to appeal directly to
the President for aid. The So
ciety, meeting last night, de-
clared the failure of Congress to
provide the requested fund had
created an emergency in Wash

2. Sisters Adopt
2 Daughters
Of Brother

Two of the prettiest young
girls in the Government service
have adopted two of the preti-
tiest young girls in Andover,
Mass, it was revealed today.
Further, two sisters adopted
two sisters-and two brunettes
adopted two blondes. It hap
pened as follows:
Ann Michlun, of Interstate
Commerce Commission, and her
sister, Teresa, of Federal Hous-
ing Administration, both beau
ties and both unmarried, hav-
ing found the whirl of Capital
life a trifle boring, decided to
try family life without the
bother of having a man or two
poking around the house. So
they filed the necessary papers
to adopt the two daughters of a
brother in Andover. and brought
them here.
The two children remind one
of those in medieval times, of
whom the priest, passing two
Saxon children destined for
slavery, said:
"ThOse are not Saxons;
they're Angels"
Both are gold-blonde, with
big, blue eyes. Joy, two-and--a-
half, adopted by Miss Ann
Michlun, has a penchant for
doing carioca steps if you don't
scare her, while Gloria, 3,
Teresa's ward, is more quiet.
At present, while their two
foster-mothers toll for Uncle
Sam, the two young Michluns
are cared for by a nurse. When
they are S they will enter Holy
Cross Academy here.

FINANCIAL
HELP Of THOSE
LOSING JOBS
Meeting Demands Agency for
Relief of All Facing Loss
of Emergency Posts

Members of the inter-lodge COM
mittee on Government personnel
transfer, composed for the most
part of employees affiliated with
the American Federation of Gov.
eminent Employees, today were
prepared to push plans for estab-
l1shment of a central agency for
the relief of emergency workers
who may lose their jobs.
AT a meeting last night that
held sway until almost midnight
and included representatives of
ID AFGE lodges, it was voted
unanimously to provide funds for
the distribution of 10000 circu.
lars among all local Federal units,
asking financial and moral sup-
port for the project which it is
hoped will provide relief for MIRA
and other workers threatened
With unemployment.
The committee further resolved
to request the Administration to
place such a Federalfinanced
transfer agency under the direct
supervision of the Civil Service
Commission, asking that the COM
mission be given power to provide
olScharged and separated EN-.
ployes with the right to q non.
competitive examination, which
which would place them on a par
with present civil service eligibles.
1t was indicated that draft of
an executive order will be made
within the next few days, provid-
ing for the requested agency,
which it is planned to present to
the President with Endorsements
OF various department heads that
have been received to date.
Additional Endorsements, 1t was
said, will be sought from Donald
r. Richberg of NRA, Rexford G.
TugWell of the Agricultural Re.
settlement Administration, Secre-
tary Henry A. Wallace of the De-
partment of Agriculture, and Sec.
rotary Harold E. Ickes of the De.
partment of Interior.
The committee announced that
a large number of registrations
are being received daily at the
temporary office occupied each
week day by reception group at
Room 500, Washington Loan and
Trust Building, for which open
lngs are being sought by a sub.

WIN FAVOR IN
ALEXANDRIA
Chamber of Commerce Vote
Shows Majority Want
Business for City

ALEXANDRIA, June 8.-Indus-
trial enterprises are desired in
Alexandria by an overwhelming
majority of the citizens, according
to a survey conducted by the
Chamber of Commerce here.
Following on the heels of the
recent opposition organized in
Alexandria to prevent establish
ment of an abattoir and meat
packing plant here, the Chamber
of Commerce prepared a ballot
asking the citizens whether they
were in favor of the Chamber try
ing to get new industries for Alex
andria.
Of 1880 ballots returned, 1929
voted in favor of new industries.
Only 81 voted against the indus
tries, "a voted for them condition

interested.

Though no .tatement could be
Obtained from the Coleman Sales
Corporation, which is interested
in building the meat packing
plant in Alexandria, it is generally
believed in Alexandria that the
favorable reaction of the majority
toward industries will prompt i'm

pany to the city council for
permit to build it's plant here.
The straw ballot conducted by
the chamber was effected by dis
tributing more than 1000 ballots
to the school children of the city
to be marked by their parents.
While many ballots were wasted
by duplication among the families
with more than one child in

Last year the chamber
opened a temporary office in
New York for three weeks and
sent out announcements to a
selected list of industries, in
forming them that the office
had been located there to sup

corning the advantages of To-
