D. {. TO REFUSE
ABAT 7 DIR
PERMIT
Mandamus Proceeding
To Be Held on Its .
Merits Tuesday

Clearing the way for speedy
legal adjudication of the Districts
abattoir controversy, the Com
missioners will meet at 10 a. m.
Monday to deny formally the ap~
plication of Adolf Gobel, Inc. for
a permit to replace its abattoir
at Benning Road and Kenilworth
Avenue Northeast.
Commissioner George E. Allen
called special meeting of the
city heads today so that this ac-
ton might be taken. Prior to
yesterday when President Roos5-
velt joined forces with opponents
to the slaughter house, CommiS-
sioner Allen was noncommittal
and apparently disinterested in
the situation. Today he was in
the foremost ranks of the abat-
toir opponents.
Tried on Tuesday
Action of the city heads was
planned to clear the decks so that
a mandamus proceeding instituted
by the Gobel Company to force
issuance of the permit might be
tried on Tuesday on its merits.
Attorney w. Gwynn Gardiner,
a former District Commissioner,
filed the suit for the Gobel Com
pany and the municipality de-
INJURED on the ground that, since
the Commissioners formally had
not rejected the permit appiica-
ton, the action was untimely.
With the permit rejected formally,
the case can be tried on its merits
rather than a technical defense.
President Roosevelt Joined the
opposing forces yesterday after
Secretary of Interior Harold L.
Ickes visited the White House.
Secretary IckeS, whose Public
Works Administration has plans
for a low-cost housing project
half mile from the slaughter
house, and Frederic A. Delano,
uncle of President Roosevelt and
member of the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commis-
sion, have been leading the fight
against the abattoir. The Delano
opposition was based on a con-
tention that the slaughter house
would interfere with recreational
and park development in the
Benning section.
Recommendation Killed
With the Commissioners square
ly lined up on the side of the
slaughter house opponents today,
a recommendation made earlier
in the week by a special commit
tee appointed by the city heads to
investigate the abattoir situation
was tossed into the waste basket
Commissioner Allen denied to
day that he had received any
orders from the White House or
from Secretary Ickes. either di
rectly or indirectly, concerning the
situation.
The fate of about a dozen, both
large and small, slaughter houses
in the District may rest upon the
action in the present case. Ir
fact, there is one slaughter house
located next door to the Gobe
plant, operated by a railroad com
pany.

A close friend of Mrs. Kahn's

sparkling quality Washington
liked so much in Florence Kahn
was one of the causes of her de-
feat. Her California constituents
read in the papers about Mrs.
Kahn's jokes. They decided that
woman who had time to be witty
wasn't paying attention to her
work and their interests.

Mrs. Rogers is definitely fem

also nice.
She confesses that she is still
confused = about the election.
Massachusetts gave Mr.. Roosevelt
10000 extra votes. Here, said
the experts, is the States in
dorsement of the New Deal. Yet,
she, who voted against every New
Deal measure, was elected by a
10000 majority in the same State.
If we're a public man I should
dread above all the gauntlet to
be run in Washington-the press
conference.
Watching Mr.. Roosevelt hold a
press conference is like watching
a trainer hold cage of polite
lions at bay.
It isn't that the newspaper cor
respondents are not almost unani-
mously friendly to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Most of them admire him heartily
and think of him with affection
and pride.
But many public men have de-
Stroyed themselves at their own
press conferences. A careless an
swer by the President of the
United States to a query on pub
lie policy could and has set the
world by the ears.
Personally, I don't think that
Mr.. Roosevelt tosses off a press
conference with the relish he's
supposed to. He seems extremely
conscious even when bantering
and smiling, that he is walking on
very, very thin ice. However
kind the correspondents may be-
they want the news. And Mr.
Roosevelt knows it. ..
Therefore he submits himself
by his own wish of course, to q
barrage of questions that though
respectfully phrased are a cross
examination by minds as sharp as
steel traps. The proceeding looks
like potential dynamite to me.
A person who rarely attends the
White House conferences sees little
news in most of Mr.. RooSevelt'E

The Gridiron Club has changed
the date of it's winter dinner from
Saturday, December IL to Monday,
December 81.
. This arrangement is made in
order to give President Roosevelt
time to get back from the Peace
Conference at Buenos Aires-if he
goes-and attend the dinner.
1t is being happily rumored
about that Mrs. Roosevelt will en-
tertain the Cabinet wives, the
Gridiron Widows and the lnem-
bers of the women's press clubs
on the night of the dinner. Also
that the newspaper women will be
asked to put on stunt party and

Return engagement.
You'll see that on the sign
boards in the near future, the
purpose being to herald the fact
Joe Cox and Gino Garibaldi will
Wrestle again at the Arena.
Last night the boys whipped it
up in merry fashion with Cox
triumphing after 34h minutes.
Many, however, believed Gino
should have won.
But Referee Benny Bortnick'S
hand tapped Cox'S tummy at the
341a-minute mark and that was
that. Fifteen hundred spectators
were in on the fun.
The "end" came shortly after
Bortnick had pried the two mat
men apart. Gino had an alleged
Strangle hold on Cox. When Carl
baldi began stalking across the
ring, Cox up and Smacked Gino in
the "kisser.' Gino went down and
of course Cox pinned his should
ers to the mat.
Confusion reigned then. Carl.
baldi "came to" and began slam
ming Cox all over the ring, also
taking a punch at Bortnick. He
claimed he had been hit from
behind" 1t was all to no avail,
but Garibaldi will get a return
match or know the reason why.

what is coming to be little classic

Georgetown meeting, at College

This is the closest to District
of Columbia championship that
our local football schedule pro-
vides, and one which will be
fought-out on the basis Of body
contact, not comparative scores
against common foes or any other
theory.
Georgetown can go into this
game completely relaxed from the
arduous task of defending an un-

of last Saturdays Manhattan set

therefore refreshed for the fray.
Each team has a superman in
its backfield, Guckeyson for the
TerpS and Keeting for the Hoyas,
and there are two stars to be
found in a single game who are
worth going the several furlongS
to College Park to see.
Catholic University is promis-
ing to pull itself together to
finish in a blaze of glory against
the hard-put Western Maryland
team. Bergman and Cotton have
had difficult time igniting the
spark at Brookland this fall that
last year hurtled the Cardinals
into National prominence, but
they've got one more Saturday
in which to fire them to a pitch
which might leave a better zest

logical to expect that Harvard will
do everything in its power to pin
the Blue captain on the Scrimmage
line. During the first half, at
least, we may look to Yale develop
ing a new pass combination with
Frank of Hessburg, reserve aerial
artist, shooting passes to backfield
receivers.
Don Daughters. who will start
at right end for the Crimson, is a
sophomore, and according to those
who have observe him under fire,
he has a way of moving swiftly
and with great power. He is a
smashing player, and despite his
british charge is not easily fooled
by the spinners and reverses that
develop out of the modern-day
attack.
Wilson, the Crimson quarter
back, is used almost exclusively as
a blocker, something the fashion
of Vanzo, the granite man of the
Northwestern Wildcats.
No Illusions
Harlow started this season allow
ing himself no illusions. He said
in advance that the road would be
long and rock Strewn. He told
the world of a light team that
might be lacking in the man power
of his rivals. The truth of his
early statements is reflected in
the scores of the games. But in
a losing game with Navy, the
Crimson ground out almost 200
yards by rushing and an ad-
ditional 80 odd yards by passes.
That, as Lieut.. Tom Hamilton IS
won't to say, is a good day against
the blocking bags.
HarloW'S record is one of a great
offensive coach. He developed
running and passing power at Col
gate, Penn State, Western Mary
land, and now he's on the high
road to success at Harvard. He
may fail, but Harlow is not the
sort to accept failure. The prob
abilities are that before his con-
tract at Harvard expires he will
have a worthwhile attack going
there,

Trainers PLAY
Riders Today
For Title
By GARRETT WATERS

It is interesting to note the re-
actions Of football-minded persons
in respect to grid events, partic-
ularly when those events affect
their own teams.
Hap Hardell, coach of the Tech
High eleven, IS a real study.
Hap's charges play Roosevelt High
at the Roosevelt Stadium at 3:15
p. m. today in game that brings
down the curtain on the interhigh
grid series for 1885.
The Tech eleven has had its
troubles this season. Tech sup
porters are as aware Of the fact
as are the hundreds of others
who've followed the interhigh
series from its very start.
Unusual Disadvantages
And Hap has been even more
affected. The mentor began the
campaign under unusual disadvan-
tages for him. His material was
plentiful, but the quality was far
from the standard of former Tech
squads.
Hence, Hap had to work care
fully in each drill to develop the
team to a pitch where it might
possibly be winner in the inter
high series.
In the course of the schedule
many mistakes were made, both
on Hap's part and on the part of
the youngsters entrusted with the
playing Of their respective posi-
tionS.
Takes Blame
Hardell points out one particu-
lar mistake for which he takes the
blame. It was in the Eastern
game of last week. Says Hap:
"In the last quarter with the
score tied, instructed Jack Be-
lOte, our quarterback, to shoot
the works. He did by passing
every time we had the ball. I
realized almost Immediately it
was the wrong thing to do, par
ticularIy with the score tied and
the chance still ours for a title.
Fortunately Eastern did not
break up the attack enough to
score. But / only did it because
of the great desire to win"
Looking back over the entire
series, the Tech team has accom-.
plished one thing, if nothing else.
It's kept it's goal line from being
crossed and largely through the
work of RaulinS and Oehmann,
on the line.
Tech Favored
Naturally it is the mentors hope
this record will be kept intact IN
today's game against Roosevelt.
The dope points to Tech victory.
but even Harden is willing to ad-
nit, as always, that anything can
happen in an interhigh series.
A Tech triumph will bring the
school its fifth football title in the
last seven years. Three were
chalked up in a row during the
seasons of 1880. 81 and '32. Gen.
trail broke the ice by winning in
1888, but Tech jumped on top in
1884 with Central again winning
last season.
Roosevelt will depend upon it's
quartet of standouts, Eddie Vas
vary, Joe Kolker, Dick Richards
and Bob Kollmyer, today. One
other, Ray FREDERICK, will be "in
there"

to life-to the warm fullness OF an
existence that offered physical security.
Where they had been thinking OF home
in terms OF the past, worrying only
about what would happen to those left
behind should the fatal shell find It's
destined mark-they now had TO ao-
lust themselves to the vigorous pres
ent-to loved ones soon to be seen and
caressed in actuality. instead OF IN the
fitful dreams of the off-duty sleep.
Once more they had to begin thinking
in terms of the future; the family was
once again their responsibility-and
from the mud and noise. the terror ana
the glory, they had to flt themselves
all over again into the pattern OF the
breadwinner and the hum-drum man
of the family.
THEY had sailed away as heroes; In
L France they had been welcomed
as saviors. They returned as heroes
for the moment-that is. the flrst ones
to come home did; later, the sight OF
parading soldiers had lost It's novelty
and few citizens bothered to turn out
to give the boys a hand. That must
have been a bitter disappointment
for what man would not rather be a
big shot" in his own little home town
than a god in foreign land?
Tablets were erected in the central
squares of towns, in parishes Of large
cities. bearing in bold relief the names
OF the boys who had gone and who hao
returned, and many. many times, Just
the names of the boys who had gone.
These, perhaps. were the lucky ones,
after all. They did not have to live to
see the ingratitude and indifference of
the people they had gone to defend.
Heady with victory, with relief, with
the hangover resulting from the break
ing of a tension that had been past
all believing, they came home to their
womenfolk, asking only admiration,
love, soothing and a period Of adjust
ment in which to SAVIOR the sweetness
of being snatched back to life In that
cold November dawn. They wanted
the appreciation and the understand
ing of those they loved best, and, while
they longed to forget the horrors
through which they had existed
numbly, they also wanted to remember
the glory and the honor that had been
theirs.
EOR a while. the women, In the
L hysterical JOY of having their men
return to them whole in mind and
limb-or even partly so-played their
role to perfection. But, in many cases
