''Uncle HarryS" New Time at 5:15 P. M. Every DayN
ny CECILIA M'CABE

Mary stared duly at the kitchen floor which she had already
 washed three times today and no- ticed the dust tracks which perma- 'nently decorated her linoleum through tho hot summer. Oh. to see
 q rain-soaked field again - to see ttrcC. their leaves sparkling drops l of ENter in the sun - to see trees | cveni
 Sometimes Mary thought she ! might go mad when she looked out through her kitchen door and !! saw the fields Alan had so proudly shown to her when she came three years ago as bride. The fields that then lay newly seeded were now dry and scorched, the air dancing over them in shimmering heat waves.
 She had been so thrilled at the idea of coming out west to marry Alan that spring. She hadn't mind | ed. the funny little town nor the buhping road leading out to theIr "home." as Alan proudly put it. She'd even overlook the fact that she could never make their square frame house, built for withstanding winds, look like the colonial cot tagcs in the magazines. She had been so ecstatic over the fact that Alan had finally saved enough money to send for her to get mar ricd that she had gaily ysacceptcd | all hardships as q new adventure. | And he'd been so dear about
 warning her about the discom- forts of living out here in the plaiDs We'll, she hadn't minded it much 1.-the old rattly car had been fun: the lradio had kept here amused; shed Ibeen excited to death when she had planted her first garden. "A post Iage stamp" Alan had laughingly
 called it, and averted his loving lgaZe to stretches of plowed field leXtending beyond the house as far las the eye could reach. They had leXpected so much, the two of them. And now for the third summer the sun had risen relcntlessly every day, blazing hot at 4 in the morn 1 ing, moved across thes ky, parch- i, ing and scorchinG hourly as it went. 1 And. in addition to the sun. i constant wind, hot as the blast from a furnace, blew unceasingly. Iswirling circles of dust into every corner of Mary's immaculate house
 billing up in the ditches like snow after a sudden storm-coating even the sparse blades of grass somber gray.
 Dust! How Mary loathed it. In your hair - your skin-your eyes. She had fantastic idea that soon she would look dusty gray like Ieverything about her. And Alan had changed, too. He no longer came Tn
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-29

The dust which hung outside like a pail suddenly became personal enemy to Mary. She wouldn't stay to fight it any longer. She'd leave. and if Alan had good sense he'd follow her when he found her note.
 Her small suitcase would hold enough. She couldn't face Alan to say goodby. Maybe she was . 1 quitter; but there were osmc limits. | Maybe Alan would miss her im- mediately but what if he didn't He did hate to admit defeat. She refused to think of life ahead with out Alan. i.
 Suddenly she stopped pulling. open drawers and boxes. What was that ominous hum? She glanced out her bedroom window.
 Surely the wind was rising; and the sky had darkened suddenly. Quick fear clutched at Mary's ! heart. Where was Alan? What If this should become one of those 1 ferocious dust storms she'd heard about?? Alan could take care or himself under most circumstances. l Another fear: her precious to- moto plants that she'd labored so long over every morning, watering by hand t. why should worry about the garden no She wouldn't be here to see .,. But, darned if she'd let this country ruin her precious tomato plants. She'd cover them with canvas any, way, as final gesture of defiance to the elements. She ran into the garage and emerged struggling against the wind with her long piece of canvas.
 All at once Alan appeared in the yard. His face was ecstatic. "Isn't this swell. Nary" he shouted above the wind. What in the world are you doing with that can- vas? Your plants?? Mary dear, this is going to be rain, not dust! Look" And even as he spoke q large drop spattered on Mary's up- turned face.
 In a second the rain was coming in torrents. Not a gentle rain - nothing was gentle in this country. But Mary felt for the first time a. fierce joy in being part of this turbulent struggle. She stood in the driving rain, her head back. laughing. This was all she'd need-. ed, just to get good and wet. She | note yet or packed her bag. Why. if it would rain like this just once in n while it was worth staying to. sec it. She could hear Alan urg- ing her inside. Mary, you're soaked. Come in here!"
 But she shook her head and shouted. "No, I'm loving it." She could feel the months of dryness and dust being washed away from | her. Alan ran and took her in his arms and the two of them stood there - laughing in the rainstorm. Copyright. 1885,

cheerfully to relate each night how. his south field looked. He looked. exhausted. beaten; his brown hair bleached by the sun, his face hag~' gard from the desperate attempta to irrigate just a little of his vast acres. Mary looked again at her dusty floor, her dusty shoes. Sud- denly she became panicky.
 Why, she was young, and here she was letting herself be buried in dried-up hole where nothing green ever flourished. How could she expect to retain youth and beauty with hot sun and dust fight. ing her continually?

TAX ABATEMENT
ASKEDCOUNTY

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 20.
M. D. Armstrong, representing
the Cardaroc Real Estate Com
pany, appeared before the board
OF Montgomery county commits
Sioners yesterday and urged a re-
duction in the amount Of ac-
cumulated taxes on a 274-acre
tract of land purchased by his
company three years ago near
Cabin John, Md, with the inten.
ton of converting it into a sub.
division.
He explained to the board that
shortly after the company ac-
quired the land, officials of the
National Capital Park and Plan"
ming Commission signified their
intention to extend the George
Washington Memorial Highway
up the Potomac River and take
over this section for park pur-
poses.
This, he claimed, defeated the
program for its commercial de-
velopment.
During the last three years the
taxes have accumulated until
they have reached an amount
which the concern is unable to
pay, Mr.. Armstrong said.

Edward 8. Contee, colored, 90,
Of the 1900 block of Tenth St.
N. W., received a surprise last
night when he attempted to enter
the apartment Of Mrs. Mabel
Wastler, 1900 block of Fourteenth

was shot and seriously wounded
by Detective Robert Louis Man
ming Of the Second precinct.
The detective was in a hallway
Of the apartment talking with
Mrs. Wastler, who is resident
manager, when they were at
tracted by the managers 15-year'
old daughter, who screamed when
she saw a colored man attempt
ing to climb into her bedroom

He recommended a Department
of Public Safety to include fire,
police and weights and measures,
and to be headed by one civilian.
He pointed out the police must
enforce the standards, weights and

ate completely with the depart
ment which has charge of these
laws.
The fire department also has a
policing function, and if all OF
agencies were to be combined a

ute as proposed by the Wagner
labor disputes bill"
In addition to strengthening the
collective bargaining clause, the
Wagner bill calls for permanent
National Labor Relations Board.
Purposes Of NRA
Mr.. Green testified that as far
as labor is concerned, there were
five fundamental purposes Of the
NRA. They are:
/. Right Of self-organization
and collective bargaining.
2. An increase in consumer
purchasing power.
8. Unemployment through de-
crease in the hours Of work.
4. Fairer working conditions
through the elimination Of child
labor.
S. Better protection Of health
of the workers.
Mr.. Creme said the collective
bargaining provision is by far
the most important part Of the
recovery program. but that the
principle of IA has never been
generally accepted by industry.
He added:
II shall not pretend today
that labor has received the
benefits which were intended
from Section IA.
"Many employers who In
their distress agreed to the
principles Of seH-OrganizatiOn
and collective bargaining failed
to keep their promises as soon
as they found themselves in
possession Of the rights con-
ferred on them by the NRA.
PLAN ESSENTIAL
''Yet, organization Of the
workers and genuine collective
bargaining are essential. 1t is
the only way by which the nee
essary adjustment in hours,
wages and working conditions
can be affected"
Indorsing the provision in the
Wagner labor bill calling for a
permanent National Labor Rela.
tions Board, Mr.. Green said:
Collective bargaining must
not be looked upon as an emer-
gency measure only. 1t must
become q basic part Of the
changed economic order which
is our ultimate aim"

DC. AIRPORT
Randolph Says His Group Will
Resist Attempt to Pick
GraveIIy Point

A bitter political duel between
the House and Senate on the ques'
ton of the Districts proposed
municipal airport appeared GER
tain today.
Representative Jennings Ran
dolph CD Of west virginia, chair
man Of the airport subcommittee
of the House District Committee,
announced that if members Of the
Senate line up in favor Of the
Gravelly Point site, every member
of his subcommittee will line up
just as definitely against it.
Representative Randolph's an
nouncement came in response to
the statement by Senator Ernest
w. Gibson (RO Of Vermont that
he wanted an investigation to de-
termine why the Gfavelly Point
site had not been chosen by the
House subcommittee, which, after
six weeks of work, made report
with no recommendation for fly
ing field.
While it developed that the
House and Senate would lock
horns over the issue, those per
sons favoring prompt action to Sc
cure a flying field for the District
expressed fear that the clash might
jeopardize the entire project.
Representative Randolph's state
ment was:
81 am advised that certain
members of the Senate have
announced they would fight for
the Gravelly Point site.
II can say definitely that il
they fight for that site each
member Of the subcommittee
will fight just as vigorously to
oppose it.
"Tf they want information as
to why we didn't favor Gravelly
Point we can give it to them.
We will not favor Gravelly
Point"

Mr.. Baruch said that was true,
and that an efficient program
for taking the profits out Of war
would insure such a psychology
at the beginning of any future
conflict.
The Government at one time
threatened to take over the steel
industry, to force prices down, Mr..
Baruch said. The industry gave
in, he added, and thereafter CO
operated wholeheartedly. Senator
Nye (R.) Of North Dakota asked:
"Were there many instances
in which you had to use a club?"
''NOt many. After we started
sending boys away, this attitude
changed"
In one instance, he said, steel
officials offered to supply the
metal at cost. Mr.. Baruch added:

PENALTY BOTH WAYS
Discussing proposed legislation
to take the profits from war, Mr..
Baruch said both the buyer and
seller must be penalized for viola
ton of price-fixing regulations, If
the plan is to be efficient.
"That was one Of the reasons
there were so many violations
of the prohibition law. There
was no penalty for the buyer.
A penalty on the buyer would
bring compliance"
The witness readily conceded
during the war. He said:
'Don't think for a moment
that I'm defending 100 per cent

Explains Mr.. Smith
Earlier today the committee
probed reports that Wall Street
brokers used prospective Govern
ment naval orders as an argument
to market New York Shipbuildine
Company stock in 1888.
Senator Vandenberg (R0 OF
Michigan asked Mr.. Baruch if he
ever bought any of the New York
ship stock in 1888. Mr.. Baruch
said he did not, personally, and
explained:
"It seemed that Ben Smith,
one of the most successful
Wall Street operators, spoke to
q broker, and said he was going
to send in 5000 shares Of New
York Ship stock to my office.
I was at the time in France.
''The stock was delivered to
my office, and my secretary
said she could not accept it
without directions from me.
Later, Mr.. Smith called me
up, and said he had bought
5000 shares of the stock for me.

That was in 1907. Eight years
later Schall was elected to con-
gress from the 10th Minnesota dis
trict. He served in the house of
representatives for 10 years. In
1924 he was elected to the United
States senate.
MINIMIZED HIS HANDICAP
"You car try lawsuit without
your eyes as well as with them"
the blind senator observed. "Peo-
pie will trust a blind man if he

Schall was born in Reed City,
Mich, in 1877. He attended the
University of Minnesota, and was
graduated with a bachelor of arts
degree in 1902. In 1904 he re-
ceived his law degree from St.
Paul College of Law and began
practice in Minneapolis.
Then came the accident which
blinded him. His interest in poll
tics increased. He was an active
Democrat. In 1912 he became a
Bull-Mooser.. Two years later he
ran for congress as a Progressive
and was elected over candidates
