WATERFROMPARK
HELDFL0OD CAUSE
Engineers Told Timber Cut
Over in George Washing
ton Reservation.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

STRASBURG, Va, October 27.-
Flood damage to the lower Shenan-
doah Valley is caused largely from a
swifter flow from the George Wash.
ington National Park, according to in
formation furnished Lieut.. w. j. Mat
teson, acting district engineer, and his
aides during a hearing today on the
subject of flood control in the Potomac
River Basin.
Blame was placed on the park by
d. w. Thomas. general manager Of the
Chesapeake g. western Railroad and
representative of the city of Harrison
burg and its hydroelectric plant.
Thomas asserted that large amounts
of timber were removed from the park
area just before the Federal Govern
ment took it over. This left many
barren places, which cause swift
flow OF water and an equally quick
rise in the Shenandoah River.
In support of this he asserted that
during the floods of last March the
river, near Elkton, rose 26 feet in
hours and receded almost as suddenly.
This rapid rise, he declared, was re-
sponsible for most of the damage done
in this area
Records here show this years food
TO have been the highest and the
most destructive in the history of this
famous valley. Whereas in 1924 the
flood reached a height of only Is feet,
the maximum during this years
freShet exceeded 80 feet in some
places. He listed damages to the cleo
trio plant at approximately $4,000
this year.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad
suffered damages totaling s42, ,686 dur.
ing the last flood.
Representatives at the meeting sug-
gested as a method OF control that
dams or levees be constructed in the
George Washington National Park
area in an attempt to stem the flow
Of the water, later letting it gradually
flow into the stream. Engineers, with
out making a thorough survey, we're
somewhat doubtful as to whether any,
thing could be done.
This is the first of several hearings
which have been held at which the
Government was charged both with
responsibility for food protection and
owning the land which caused the
flood.

financial secretary, and Max T. Pines,
treasurer.
Continuance of the Office Of peoples
counsel ''in order that the welfare OF
the general public may be properly

ton adopted by the group. Praising
the work of william A. Roberts, who
recently submitted his resignation
from the position, the resolution asked
further that this agency be expanded
and strengthened.
Oppose Firemen Eight Hour Shift.
Citing extra expense, the associa-
ton opposed the proposal Of an eight
hour day for firemen ''at this time"
Congressional legislation denying the
use of District public schools to out-of-
town students was asked in another
resolution. II such law is not pro-
vided, then the Federal Governments
contribution toward expenses Of the
Capital should be increased to meet
the added expense of accommodating
outside" pupils. the group contended.
Oppose Gas Tax Diversion.
Opposition to diversion Of gasoline
tax funds was expressed. The associa-
ton also opposed adoption Of the pro-
posed automobile weight tax.

asked quarterly fire drills in all public
buildings. improved street car and bus
service. ban on parking on the north
side Of p street between Fourteenth
street and Logan Circle, and elemina-
tion Of gas fumes in busses. The group

VATICAN ACTION LATER SEEN.

VATICAN CITY, October 27.-The
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin's manner Of
attack against President Roosevelt, it
was reported authoritatively today, is
thoroughly disapproved in the Vatican.
1t would be difficult, however, one
prelate said, for any action to be taken
at this time against the radio priest
who. speaking before a Cleveland,
Ohio, audience last night termed Mr..
Roosevelt the scab President and
said he was the greatest employer Of
scab labor in ali history"
The prelate pointed out that any
open action by the Vatican at this
moment, on the eve of the American
presidential election, might be con-
strued as meddling in politics.
Other prelates said there was no
doubt Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli. who
is in the United States, was receiving
a vast amount Of information on
Father Coughlin even though the
papal secretary OF state is not on a
political mission.
When he returns to Vatican City.
they said, he cannot but inform the
Pope of the situation in America and
predicted there would be much greater
possibility then that the Vatican may
clamp down on Father Coughlin after
the elections are out OF the way.

CASBARIAN EXPLAINS

~ stan Correspondent OF The Star
COLLEGE PARK, Md, October
27.-Harvey Casbarian, University Of
Maryland comptroller. declared there
was no connection between let
ters received by faculty members
from the Democratic State Central
Committee and others sent from the
office of the collector Ct internal reve-
nue..
The former correspondence, also
received by university civil service en-
ployes, asked for contributions to the
campaign fund because Of benefits
the university had gained under the
Roosevelt administration. The COL
lector's letters, concu1ently sent to
some professors, asked for a statement
OF the recipients incomes.
Because both epistles were received
at the same time, suspicion had been
aroused, since M. Hampton Magruder,
the revenue collector, Is . strong
Democratic leader.
Casbarian explained that q list Of
faculty incomes had been sent to the
collectors office several weeks ago,
but only initials were given. To avoid
confusion, he said, the office was COM
pelled to write individual letters to
faculty members for financial state
ments.
Magruder denied that he had writ
ten any campaign letters bearing his
ofiicial signature Of revenue collector.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, october 27.-Los
Angeles police installed another block
ade against 'bums" today this time
at the city limits instead of the State
border.
Determined to make this an un-
pleasant resort for INDECENT transients,
Police Chief James E. Davis said un-
desirables who run the blockade will
spend a Winter at hard labor in prison
camps. He recommended six-months
sentences.
Davis foreign legion" putting re-
verse English on the open-door policy

aroused the ire of neighboring State
authorities.
I'VE don't intend to extend police
jurisdiction to border stations this
Winter" the chief said. That was an
emergency measure, but we certainly
intend to ring the city limits with
guard which will keep these men out
or they will land in work camps.
There will be no more soft, lazy
Winters for these lazy wanderers. In
the past the city has supported too
many of them in jails. giving them
good food and warm lodging at tax
payers expense"
As the initial steps in erecting bar
rier to unemployed wanderers, Los
Angeles police were dispatched today
to Cotton and Victorville, on main
routes to Los Angeles.
They were sent to check up on the
influx of migratory vagrants into the
State-an already alarming influx,
said Davis.
Orders for the blockade were issued
yesterday after Davis conferred with
his officers and heard reports from
railroad officials who promised their
cooperation.
II would like for all housewives ap-
preached by beggars for food to notify
us" Davis said. "A check has shown
that a very large percentage of these
food beggars are not like the hoboes
of old.
THE modern beggar for food is
merely stool pigeon looking over the
lay of the land preparatory to future
burglary"

Later, Woodring wrote the A. B. C.
Board:
You are informed that despite any

Hospital, the position Of the War De-
partment with respect to objecting to
the granting by the authorities of the

ises located in the vicinity of Walter
Reed General Hospital is as follows:
The War Department will not
object to the issuance of such a
license for premises which are as far
distant from the hospital, residences
and other facilities of Walter Reed
General Hospital as the minimum
distance required by the governing au-
thoritieS of the District of Columbia
in the case of other hospitals, resi-
dences and similar facilities located
with the District of Columbia.
Asks Objections Be Disregarded.
II have been told informally that
officials of Walter Reed General Hos
pital, operating under a misunder-
standing as to the War Departments
made objections before your board
inconsistent with this latter. / re-
quest that you disregard objections
made by any official of Walter Reed
General Hospital or any other official
or agency of the War Department or
the Army inconsistent with the policy
of the War Department as stated in
this letter"
A. B. C. Board officials explained
there is nothing in the District liquor
law or regulations which sets up any
special considerations for hospitals
and that license could be granted
to a place next door to a hospital
provided the general requirements
were met. Likewise the law does not
establish or set up any dry zones
around military reservations. although
the policy" has been to refuse such
applications where officials of such
institutions have protested.
Offutt said that hereafter Walter
Reed officials would continue to be
notified of applications for nearby
liquor operations and that it would be
up to them to deal with their supe-
riors as to the Federal attitude.

PITTSBURGH, October 27.-Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins out
lined a program for proper economic
and social balance" at q community
forum last night.
In an address prepared for deliv-
cry, Miss Perkins said balance can be
obtained through the principles of a
national living wage, continuity Of
income, stability of employment. rea-
sonable profit and guidance for the
conservation and maximum utilization
of natural resources. She continued:
Fair and continued profits are Of
vital importance in industry. but good
and steady wages for workers and fair
prices for the produce of farmers are
also necessary to sound prosper
ity."
Secretary Perkins set forth the prog
ress she said had been made in labor
legislation and discussed activities OF
the United States Department of Labor
in the last three years. She said:
There has been more labor legisla-
ton in the States in the past three
years than at any other similar period
in the history of the United States.
Seven States have enacted minimum
wage laws since 1888; four have set up
labor departments and enacted factory
legislation, and three others have en-
acted workmen,s compensation laws.
Strikes have been few and amen
able to settlement in the last three
years. This has been SO because the
Government has not used the arm OF
force, direction and regimentation, but
instead has used the ancient art OF
conciliation and mediation. Strikes
have been settled, not beaten"
