by pleading for cooperation which
could not be secured by threats
of jail.
Mr.. Baldwin explained that
neither he nor the plant board
had any desire to put anyone IN
jail. He did not want to go him
self nor be instrumental in send
ing another. He then asked that
the officials secure the coopera-
ton of the people in permitting
the plant board and its employees
to carry on activities and all idea
of legal proceedings would be
dropped at once.
Representative B. C. Papy and
the mayor asked that the board
take a chance on receiving the CO.
operation of the people of the
city and put the spraying gangs to
work at once. In the meantime
officials will contact all of those
who have been the cause of legal
activities being carried to an is
sue, and believed they would have
the entire cooperation of every
person on the list of "con-
seientious DIRECTORS"
/ Do this, said Mr.. Baldwin, and
about 40 men will be at once put
back to work for the period of
from so days to three months.
The governor saw Mrs. Robert
Spottswood in the audience and
asked her views on the idea of
pleading with the people to per-
nit plant board activities without
interference. She replied that she
would undertake to interest a
group of other friends in the plan,
spread the idea through the
schools and try to secure the CO.
operation of the people.
VIM. R. Porter voiced the
thought that those who were I'M
dertaking the task of changing the
minds of those DIRECTORS who had
maintained a stand against spray
ing activities had a hard task be-
fore them. While some would
possibly agree to allow the board
to spray their trees. he was of the
opinion there were others who
would never consent.
At the conclusion of the meet
ing it was mutually agreed that
plant board spraying activities
would be resumed and the OBJ
jectors would be brought over to
the idea of permitting the opera
tions without objecting, the sew
eral committees devoting them
selves to securing the necessary
cooperation.
H. S. McClanahan, in charge of
the local plant board unit, stated
this afternoon that temporary
spraying operations would begin
tomorrow. Continuation of the
project would depend on 100 per-
cent cooperation of the citizens.

GOVERNOR CLAIMS
BLACK FLY, MENACE

Continued from Page One)
could we'll understand the attitude
| of people who depended on the
fruit for food and from the sale
OF which they found funds to pro-
vide other necessaries of life.
Councilman C. G. Hicks asked a
question of Mr.. Baldwin which
touched on this matter of fruit
being destroyed and compensation
for those who owned the fruit. He
felt that in most instances where
it was proven that the losers de-
pended on the fruit, or its sale.
for sustenance. they should be
remunerated for any losses.
Mr.. Baldwin explained that
there were provisions for these
cases and that no appropriation
had been made covering this phase
of the matter. He said that when
operations first started some per-
sons were remunerated for losses
but the money so used was pro-
vided by the FERA. He would
take up this matter of remunera-
ton on his return to Tallahassee,
ne promised.
Continuing ne explained that
the black fly was discovered in
Key West in 1884, and shortly
after its discovery the campaign
for its eradication was started.
The pest does not enter the fruit.
1t deposits its larva on the I'M
derneath part of leaves and from
this point of incubation the de-
struction starts, the leaves first
disappearing and eventually the
entire tree is destroyed.
OF Great Importance
At this point the governor in
terpOsed by saying that it must
seem strange to the uninitiated
that the governor Of a state should
make a hurried trip by plane be-
cause OF a fly. But the need is
so great and the danger so i'm
minent, that he knew that some
action must be at once taken.
That he did not want to use his
powers as chief executive of the
state in an arbitrary manner, but
felt that if the matter was placed
before the people who objected to
the spraying in the right way,
they would withdraw their objec-
lions and allow the campaign to
be carried out.
S. c. Singleton asked if it
would not be a good plan to wash
the trees after the spray had been
applied and the destructive agents
killed.
The idea was alright but where
was the water coming froma with
which to wash the trees, Doctor
Warren asked. He pointed out
that there are times during a
period OF drouth when water is at
a premium.
VIM. W. Demeritt, superin-
tendent of lighthouses, assured
those interested that he believed
his department, upon his recon-
mendation, would provide a GER
tain amount of water to be used
in this connection.
State Senator Gomez. recog-
nized from the chair, Chairman
Carl Bervaldi of the board of
county commissioners acting as
chairman. gave a detailed outline
of the local proceedings which
had been the result of objections
by Key Westers. He paid high
tribute to the people and advised
that many things may be gained

SEWAGE PLANT
NEAR FINISH

Washington's new sewage dis
posal plant at Blue Plains, D. c.,
near Old Shepherds Landing, is
fast nearing completion. Cover
ing more than 80 acres, the plant
will cost in the neighborhood Of
four million dollars.
Already landscaping has been
begun about the grounds and the
IL sludge tanks which pump the
sewage into their 32-foot depth.
Landscaping, architects figure,
will cost 100000.
A Washington Times photog-
rapher took the first aerial view
of the plant today. The picture
shows the IL tanks in the center,
the power plant with it's tall
smokestack, and the winding por-
ton of the proposed George
Washington Memorial Highway
fronting it on the right.
The plant will be completed,
engineers say, sometime around
the latter part of October.

GREEN FILES
TO RUN FOR
CONGRESS

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE.
Va, Aug. 3.-Pledging his full sup
port to the campaign issues OF
Governor Landon, John Locke
Green, Arlington county attorney
and Republican candidate for
Congress from the Eighth District,
today filed his formal candidacy
with the secretary of the Com
monwealth of Virginia and simui-
taneously announced that ne
would campaign for Landon hand
in-hand with his own campaign.
Having organized the first con-
vention in the country to indorse
Landon for the nomination when
the Young Republican Clubs OF the
Eighth Congressional District met
at Culpeper last November, Mr..
Green said today that he was en-
tirely in accordance with the poll
cies as outlined by the KanSan IN
his acceptance speech and that,
If he was elected to Congress, he
would support these issues that
Governor Landon outlined.
Much Tougher Fight
Preparing for his second fight
against the present incumbent,
Howard w. Smith, who defeated
Green two years ago, the G. 0. P.
candidate said he was confident
that the Democratic Representa-
tive was going to have a much
tougher fight this time. Mr.. Green
ran ahead of his ticket by ap-
proximately 1000 votes two years
ago, and expects to receive many
of the additional votes this year
which will be brought out by the
presidential candidates.
Commenting on his own per
Sonal views as to the issues OF
the present national campaign,
Mr.. Green said:
"AS / see this campaign, the
fundamental issue is whether
we shall continue to have an
orderly process of government
under the Constitution, or
whether we will be ruled by ILL
thOught-Out laws that are not
workable and which sooner or
later would get us into more
difficulties than existed before
their enactment.
81 can't fathOm the SubStanti-
ability of theory of encOurag-
ing tremendous debts and
mounting deficits ON one hand,
and then on the other, purchaS-
ing most of our products from
foreign countries. Ones COM
mon sense leads him to believe
that this program will eventu-
ally destroy our whole CONNER
ciaI structure, and once COM
merce is destroyed and people
become idle, then we can expect
what is now happening in Eu-
rope, and what has happened in
the FaSt as o result of such
theories. / believe Governor
LandOn will correct the system
with his policies, and 1 am in
full accordance with his cam
paign policies"
Mr.. Green began his efforts
early last year to have Virginia
indorse Landon for the COP.
nomination and successfully man
aged the Kansan'S preconvention
campaign in Virginia and per
sonally appeared before the State
Republican convention with a res
olution which resulted in the con-
vention's wholehearted support Of
