Fasteners are afraid their in

middle westerners are afraid their
population will go to the west when
more land comes under cultivation"
he said.
Hill, who came to Prosser to visit
his wife, who has been i'll, while
congress recessed due to the death
of Joseph w. ByrnS, speaker OF the
house, and the Republican conven-
ton, predicted the Roza unit and
the Coulee dam will be finished.
He maintained 100000 will en-
able the continuance of construction
work on the Roza and then the next
congressional delegation can prob
ably get another appropriation.

LAW
1SATTACKED

ANNAPOLIS, May 2.-Consti-
nationality Of the Maryland pre-
primary registration law was at
tackled in the Maryland Court of
Appeals today.
The law which permits pre-
primary registration in the %
counties, but not in Baltimore
city, is being attacked by Mrs.
Dorothy F. Buckley of Baltimore.
following refusal of the Balti-
more City Court to force pre-
primary registration.
Augustus C. BinSwanger, can
didate for the Republican nomi-
nation for Congress from the
Second district, appeared on be-
half of Mrs. Buckley to argue the
case yesterday, contending that
such a registration ban was I'M
fair to the congressional districts,
tending to swell the voters lists
in the county sections, and con-
stituted a violation Of the cleo
tive franchise law Of the State.

STAGGER PLAN
ASKED AGAIN

Staggered working hours for all
Government employees again
doomed today following a recon-
mendation made yesterday to the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission by William A.
Van Duzer, traffic director, and
Representative Randolph Carpen-
ter CD of Kansas.
Despite adoption Of the Stagger
system by many Government de-
partmentS, there are still some
10000 Federal workers remaining
on the standard 9 a. m. to 4:30
p. m. schedule, according to Van
Duzer and Carpenter.
Objective of the recommends
ton, it was explained, is the
establishment Of q systematic
stagger system throughout the
entire Government service to re-
lieve traffic congestion.
Establishment Of the system, it
is believed, would rest with the
District Commissioners or might
follow an executive order by the
White House.

TEST TRIED

A six.week experiment has beer
inaugurated in the. AnacoStia Jun
ior-S Senior High School, whereby
pupils will do their studying at
school under the supervision OF
the teachers, instead of at home
according to an announcement
made today by Principal Chester
N. Holmes. He said:
1--WE have extended our pc
RODS to S. minutes instead Of
the usual 43. Half Of that Pc
riOd will be spent in recitation
or teaching; the other half will
be used for study. There will
be no change in subjects"
Asked whether the experiment
would extend to the next semester
Mr.. Holmes stated de did not
know, adding:
II am sure, even II we found
IL satisfactory, we could get 1t
through without the approval Of
the Board of Education. This
is an experiment Only-and I
say that because, frankly, / don't
know how it will turn out"
Mr.. Holmes stated the matter
was discussed by the Anacostis
PIT. A. a month ago and the plan
was adopted with the consent OF
Superintendent Of Schools Frank
w. Ballou and Assistant Superin'
tendent DR.. Stephen E. Kramer.

CHAIN BRIDGE
OPENING WAITS

Rejection of some Of the special
materials ordered for the repair
Of ancient Chain Bridge, which
has been closed because Of damage
in the early spring flood, has
caused a further postponement in
plans for reopening the span.
Clifford r. Whyte, District
bridge engineer, said the materials
were due here this week, but be-
cause of the rejection of some Of
the special parts, the materials
will not arrive until the week Of
May IL.
District officials estimate the
repair work can be done within
two weeks. After the work is done,
Director of Highways Herbert c.
Whitehurst will make an inSpec-
ton to determine whether the
span should be opened to heavy
truck traffic.
