crat, Of Georgia. gathered support yes

gress.
Representative Fish, Republican, of
New York, however, called the plan
sheer socialism" He said he was
against it no matter how many Repre-
sentatives failed to find dwellings.
Deem said he had to ride from one
end of the city to the other and event.
ually pay a 81 taxi fare to find a
house which he rented for s125 a
month. And, he added. this house
had a four poster bed built in 100.
1T sleeps just about like the one
down in a boarding house in my
country that Aaron Burr once slept
in" he said. II know, I've been in
both"
Deem said the Government should
eventually clear out those slumS be-
hind the Capitol" and convert them
into houses and apartments for Rep
resentatives at reasonable rates.
The Representatives, he thinks,
should live in a subdivision apart from
the Senators.
Representative Maverick, Democrat,
of Texas, said the plan could be in
cluded in housing legislation he ex-
poets to introduce.
Representative Guyer, Republican,
of Kansas, said. If something isn't
done to correct the housing shortage
here. I'm for Deems idea"
Representative Burdick, Republican,
Of North Dakota, who bought nearby
farm last year when he couldn't find

ASSEMBLY FACES

Northern Virginia Delegation
Opposes Scrapping OF
Highway Districts.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,


RICHMOND. Va, January 11.-Fol-
lowing the announcement of House
committee assignments tomorrow ana
after a week end of conferences with
their constituents at home, members
Of the Northern Virginia delegation In
the Virginia General Assembly are ex-
pected to settle down this week to the
eeal work of the session.
IN the proposed elimination of the
eight highway construction districts,
with a diversion of large amount Of
road builhink funds to the Southwest
ern section of the State, the entire
slate of officials representing the
Northern section of the State see the
most serious menace yet proposed for
the present session.
Delegate John c. Mackall of Fairfax
County said all of the Northern Vir-
ginia Senators and Delegates are COM
bining for a fight against the plan
which is included in "a 10-year road
building program submitted by legis-
lative commission and approved by the
Governor.
North Roads Vital.
Carrying as they do large amount
of traffic from the District of Columbia
and Maryland, the Northern Virginia
roads are held to be the most i'm
portant in the State from a safety
standpoint and it is contended al
funds possible should be used for i'm
mediate widening and improvement.
Included among these roads is Co.
lumbia pike. which makes a direct
connection between Washington, An
nandale and Fairfax. Every effort is
being made by both Arlington and
Fairfax County representatives to have
this adopted as project by the State
Highway Commission.
Delegate William D. Medley o.
Arlington County is making a study
of the question of having the Schoo
Board in his county appointed by the
County Board, instead Of by specia
committee appointed by the judge o.
the Circuit Court
Groups Favor Change.
While not committed to this change
Medley is investigating it at the re-
quest of several civic groups in the
county. 1t is the present belief thai
such a change could be made only
upon a vote of the people, but there
appears to be no constitutional diff
Guilty, since the County of Henrico i:
operating under such a system, as are
several cities, including Alexandria.
Another proposed piece of Arlington
County legislation, which is expected
to be decided upon, is a reassessment
of real estate during the present year
Fairfax County, along with number
of other localities who have learned
of the plan, are expected to ask inclu-
sion in such a bill if it is introduced
Senator T. Russell Gather of Win
chester, following precedent set by
West Virginia which has resulted ir
considerable controversy there, has in
troduced and will fight during the week
for the passage of a bill making II
unlawful to plant or keep alive red
cedar trees within three miles of an
apple orchard The purpose of the
measure Is to combat cedar rust.
Senator John w. Rust of Fairfax
has already introduced several bills OF
a minor nature. Other Northern Vir-
ginia delegates have refrained up to
this time from the introduction OF any
legislation. although plenty is expected
before the end of the session.

Sponsorship Of the affair was
prompted by a demand for some show
of appreciation to Archbishop Curley
for his devotion to the retreat move
ment and especially to the one estab-
lished in the Maryland diocese several
years ago. The retreat is located on
the Severn River at ManreSa. The
Manresap movement is upheld by the
archbishop as one Of the highest
Catholic activities.
President Walter D. Beller has
named the various committees for the
affair and headquarters have been es-
tablished at the Mayflower Hotel where
weekly meetings have been held to
