D. c. HEADS COOL
TO 'PARK0METERS'
"HandS-off" Policy Adopted
Toward Street Renting
Program Urged.

National Capital Park officials today
adopted "hands of" policy toward
the proposal to install "parkometers
on, the streets of Washington-a plan
which the District Commissioners have
said they will not support.
The plans for the coin -slot-parking
devices, which had been recommended
by Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer, have been sent to Senator
Thomas of Oklahoma for study, the
Commissioner explained.
John Nolen. jr., director of planning
for the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, said:
"The question of parking machines
has never been specifically considered
by the commission. I am very much
interested in how 1t has worked in
other cities. Whether it is appropriate
or workable in Washington remains to
be SEEN"
Explaining that he has not made a
particular study of the proposal,
Thomas S. Settle, secretary to the
commission, said:
my theory is that the District Com
n1issioners should be given authority in
their discretion to decide whether
parkometers should be installed here.
The traffic situation is very, very bad.
but it is matter that should be left
up to the Commissioners"
Edward Kelly, administrative as
sistant to C. Marshall Finnan, super
intendent Of National Capital Parks,
said he didn't believe we have such q
parking emergency here that the ma
chimes would be NEEDED. The machines,
he said, are intended for use in areas
where parking is restricted to short
periods, whereas most of the park
roads have two-hour or unlimited
parking.
Van Duzer, meanwhile, renewed his
request for legislation which would
give the machines fair trial.

Scarlet was not in court to con-
test the suit.
The only other witness besides Mrs.
Scarlet was Mrs. Madigan. She de-
scribed the occasion when Scarlet is
alleged to have struck his bride,
saying his anger was caused by mis-
understanding of a remark made by
Anne Cooke, now the wife of Capt.
Thomas Hay Nixon. U. S. A. He
pushed over chair and a bird
cage, she said, and was exceedingly
abusive" Mrs. Madigan told the
court Mrs. Scarlet now lives with
her.
On another occasion, she said,
Scarlet left the apartment after in
quiring roughly of Jane whether she
had been drinking.
Mrs. Scarlett's father, Howard De
Walden Cooke, died last week and the
girl was in mourning when she took
the witness stand.

The marital difficulties Of Jane

chauffeur-husband, George S. Scar
lett, jr., seemed to have neared an
end today when District Supreme
Court Justice Joseph w. Cox took I'M
der advisement her petition for a
limited divorce on the grounds of
cruelty.
The elopement of Scarlet and 49,
year-old Jane Cooke on January IS,
1885, caused a considerable furore
here. Accompanied by her sister Anne
Mrs. Scarlet and her young husband
went on horeyhoon trip to Winston
Salem, N. c., his home.
The couple separated February 4
just nine days following the cere-
mony, after they had returned to
Washington, and were living at the
Broadmoor apartment of Mrs. Scar
let's aunt, Mrs. Alice L. Madigan.
HE was very brutal to me-" the
girl told Justice Cox. She said he
was cruel to her frequently and, after
their return to Washington, struck
her.
In response to a query by her at.
torney, Lewis H. Shapiro, she said:
Yes, was in fear of him; I was
very much afraid of him. In my
aunt's apartment one night he swore
and cursed at my sister, Anne. and
when I tried to quiet him he became
enraged and showed me across the
room and then left the apartment"
She said she had not seen him
since and that he had never con-
tributed to her support.

Mrs. Doyle Goes to "If" to

president of the Board of Education,
to restrain herself from replying to the

the Communist party in Washington
and that the board wants" commu-
nism taught in the public schools.
Mrs. Doyle's comment came at a
meeting of the board yesterday after
Prof. Robert A. Maurer proposed a
statement be made as matter of pub
lie record in view of the charge "of
certain member of Congress" that
the board is communistic and favors
the teachings of communism.
Charge Not True.

essary," he said, but the charge is
not true. want merely to place the
Board of Education on record"
The motion offered by Maurer, and
unanimously carried by polled vote,
follows:
81. That this board is and always
has been definitely and unequivocally
opposed to the advocacy Of commu-
nism in the public schools of the Dis
trict of Columbia, or the indoctrina-
ton Of pupils with communistic or
any other form of subversive doctrine,
'2. That such teaching would vio-
late the oath of Office taken by every
teacher and officer in the District of
Columbia public school system to
bear true faith and allegiance to the
Constitution. and.
IS. Any attempt to express the views
of this board not in harmony with this
statement is plainly false representa-
ton"
Mentions No Names.
Maurer refrained from naming the
member of Congress at which his reso-
luton was aimed, but the statement
came after Representative Blanton
Democrat. of Texas, charged in radio
address that the board favored COM
munisn1.
"I have heard" Mrs. Doyle said.
"that I am supposed to be an out
standing leader in the Communist
party in Washington.
THAT, of course. is a ridiculous lie

humor and think of Kipling's If to
restrain myself.

WATER PURCHASE
City Heads Act in Delay
in Completing Well
at Sanatorium.

Arrangements for immediate laying
Of water main connection from
Cheverly. Md, to the Districts tuber-
culosis sanatorium at Glenn Dale, Md.
should a contractor abandon his ef-
forts to dig well at the institution,
were being completed today by District
officials.
Engineer Commissioner Dan T. Sui
tan said some additional time would
be allowed the contractor to overcome
his difficulties, which developed when
drill fell to the bottom of the shaft,
nearly 800 feet deep. last December.
Month Limit Is Set.
If the contractor fails to complete
the job within a month, it was indi-
Gated, the District will resort to the
pipe line connection. The contractor
spent many weeks fishing for the lost
drill and recently pulled out the we'll
casing, planning to change the course
of the digging to bypass the drill.
As an alternative, Col. Sultan months
ago started negotiations with the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission for a pipe line connection.
This would cost the District nearly
100000, it was said. Col Sultan has
been hoping to avoid the extra cost,
convinced there IS ample supply of
well water, if the contractor can tap it
in time.
Every week that goes by, however,
increases possibility that the well can
not be finished in time. For water
supplied by the Sanitary Commission,
the District would have to pay the
regular suburban rate.
Negotiations Near Completion.
Meanwhile, it was learned the Sani-
tary Commission and the Rural Re-
settlement Administration have about
completed negotiations for water facili-
ties at Greenbelt, the Government s
low-cost housing project near Berwyn
Heights.
Attorneys for the principals are
drafting contract, the terms Of which
call for water main running to the
highest point on the Greenbelt prop
erty, where 1000, ,000-gallon stand
pipe is to be erected.
The Government is to pay the
whole construction cost, approximately
Sl05, 900, and pay regular rates for the
water, 1t was revealed.
According to Sanitary Commission
authorities, the water main will
run along Edmonston road through
Branchville. 1t will be 16-inch pipe.
16-Inch Main Planned.
The water main to the sanitarium
would be 16 inches in size from Chew
erly to the overhead bridge at Lanham
and IL inches from there to Glenn
Dale.
Authorities said the work could be
started within a few weeks and be
completed in about three months.
The sanitarium was started last year
and is planned for occupancy some
time in the Fall.

They pointed out that the treaty
actually was not being enforced
and as examples named the clause
requiring that the Chinese armies
be decreased and the clause re-
curing that all foreign conces-

Quincy Wright, an American
delegate, took issue with this

troversies among the Pacific pow
ers. The addition of new treaties

He said that if confidence in
collective security cannot be es-
tablished, there will be one of
three possible future trends in
the Pacific-Japanese political
dominance, a Far Eastern balance
of power, or Pacific regional
organization.
Sir Frederick Whyte, of the

Since the outbreak of the rev.

tributed millions of pesetas to
the Popular Fronts war campaign

Throughout the present crisis
the Spanish Communist party has
shown itself to be highly "gov-
ornamental" in denying all reports

SISTER MARY'S MENU
By NEA Service


AS soon as the weather begins
n to cool you'll be thinking OF
entertaining. One of the incest
ways to return social obligations
and one CT the simplest too-is
to have a Sunday night supper.
The informality Of such an
event is its great charm.
Your Sunday night supper need
not be elaborate or expensive,
but it is worth the time and eff
fort to give the menu an original
twist, Instead of baked ham,
roast chicken or an elaborate sal
ad. why not serve an Italian sup
Der? You'll find it far less ex-
pensive than a menu including a
roast or fowl and quite as deli
ciouS.
For Sunday Supper
Here is a supper based, chiefly,
on italian recipes:
Antipasto
Chill Con Carne
ITALIAN DlSdu SLlChS
Bowl of Greens Salad
italian (Bel Paese) Cheese
Purple Italian Grapes
Black Coffee
Chianti Wine
Chill con carne, it is true, is a
Mexican dish, but it goes surpris-
ingly well with an Italian meal,
The recipe used is less expensive
than the variety made with chick
en-.
For the antipasto, arrange on a
large platter slices of garlic boil
ogna, anchovies, Italian salami
green or red picked peppers
halves Of pimento, thin slices OF
marinated beets and tomatoes
slivers of savory green beans.
Let this be the first course
with everyone helping himself
from the platter.
The chill con carpe is made like
this:
Chilli Con Carne for Six
One pound ground round steak
