P. 0. OFFICIALS
SEEK VA. MAN

Post office inspectors were to-
day seeking Marvin L. Whitehead,
SO, contract postal station opera
tor of Arlington, Va, whose &C
counts are said to be short about
$500.
The branch station at Arlington,
located in a bakery on Columbia
Pike, had been operated by White
head, a lifelong resident of Airing
ton county, since its establishment
there July /, when the central
post office for the county was es-
tablished at Clarendon.
Business conducted by White
head consisted of selling stamps
and issuing money orders, with
sales amounting to $500 or $4OO
daily, according to Inspector H. r.
Nichol, of the Post Office Depart
ment. For his work he was paid
$500 annually.
A routine check of the station
a week ago made by the Depart
ment revealed a shortage in postal
funds of between $1O0 and 5000
which was promptly made good by
Whitehead, according to authori.
ties.
A detailed check, which was
made the following day, revealed
that additional funds had been
taken and that some of the money
order business had not been &C,
counted for, the authorities added.
Shortly before the second short.
age was discovered, Whitehead is
said to have left the county in an
automobile belonging to an Arling.
ton woman. The woman later re.
ceived a letter from Whitehead
stating that the automobile had
been left in Baltimore. The office
was closed temporarily to make q
check of accounts.

Soon after the District Commits
sioners denied a building permit to
Adolf Gobel Company? Inc, for
replacing and undermining its
abattoir at Benning Road and
Kenilworth Ave. N. E., three citi-
zens' organizations and the Central
Labor Union last night adopted
resolutions urging the enlarged

The citizens groups, which voted
in favor of issuance of the permit,
are: Kenilworth, Lincoln Park and
Benning, all located in the vicinity
of the proposed plant.
C. P. Pierson, representing the
Gobel Company, spoke at the meet
ings of the Kenilworth and Lincoln
Park groups, citing the opposition
from civic groups in more distant
sections of the city.
Although not deciding the main
issue of whether the permit ulti-
mately would be issued, the Com
missioners yesterday instructed

publicity it has gained during
the past several years by reason
of the numerous crimes its field

names carries an ominouS sound
to many.
The general public, particularly
those unfamiliar with the Wash

F.BI. to be surrounded with
grim, gray walls, and to carry an
aura of mystery usually associ-

dark halls in complete silence,
sccwling suspiciously, as they
would in "Sleuth" perhaps.
The casual visitor from the
hinterlands, consequently, is sur
prised to find Director j. Edgar
Hoover's unit housed in-the ultra
modern Justice Department,
accommodated just as comforta-
bly, as the staid Agriculture or
Commerce Departments.
Light-Hearted Group
Still more surprising is the
cheerful and light-hearted atti-
tude of the F.B.I. personnel who
despite the fact that almost all
of their work is centered even
tually in the subjects of crime,
detection and human misery in
general, nevertheless maintain
one of the most ambitious pro,
grams of social recreation of any
Government office.
Since Mr.. Hoover first came to
the fore as director of the bureau,
it has stood forth prominently in
sponsoring "out of office" activity,
supporting championship baseball

CITIZENS ROW
AT BUS ROUTE
HEARING

Frequent clashes between vari-
Gus neighborhood representatives
marked the Public Utilities Com
missions public inquiry today
into the Capital Transit Com
pany petition to abandon the
Takoma street car service via
Fourteenth Street Northwest.
In lieu of the car service, the
company proposed extensive bus
transportation to the communi-
ties involved. While several OBJ
jectionS already had been voiced
against abandonment of the car
service, other kicks" were made
against the company's bus route
proposals with each neighbor-
hood representative striving to
obtain the maximum of service
for his particular locality
Backs Rush Service
W. H. Parsons, spokesman for
the Chillum Heights, Takoma
ID. c.. and Manor Park Citizens
Associations, urged that the pres
ent rush service routes be main
tanned during rush hours and that
two routeS-one serving the west
and the other the east portions
of the communities in Takoma-
be established during non-rush
hours.
This suggestion did not meet
with the approval of L. D. Mer-
rill, general manager of the COM
pany, which is advocating sim
gle route for the bus service cou-
pied with shuttle service be-
tween the Takoma street car ter
minal and Fourteenth Street and
Colorado Ave. N. W., over the
route now used by the street cars.
During Parsons testimony, H.
L. Thornton, real estate dealer,
questioned if the view expressed
by the witness was the true Senti,
ment of the community He
pointed out that while Parsons
views we're adopted from senti,
ment voted at meeting attended
by some 80 members of the asso,
citation, there were 1000 residents
in the community.
Roberts In Row
William A. Roberts. former Peo
pies Counsel, on hand to advocate
that when the buses get to the
downtown area at Vermont Ave
nue. Northwest, they be routed
over Ninth Street, invoked another
clash in furthering his views.
Roberts represents Ninth Street
Associated, group of business
men on the thoroughfare. Me met
with opposition from George A
Corbin, representative of Manor
Park Citizens Association, while
questioning a witness. Corbin tolc
Roberts that his organization was
definitely opposed to your Ninth
Street plan"
The witness Roberts questioned
was Bruce E. Anderson, a Takomt
resident, who presented peti
tion signed by 300 fellow-resident
who work in the Potomac Parl
area. He told the commission
that the service now afforded botl
by street car and bus from Tia
koma to Potomac Park was tn
poorest any neighborhood had t,
put up with. He urged an i'm
provement.
Roberts then asked whethe
routing the buses down Nintl
Street, then westward along Cor
stitution Avenue to service al
Government buildings would help
Anderson said it would, but sue
gested that routing buses west
ward from Logan Circle and thel
down in the Potomac Park are
would be more direct and woult
avoid downtown congestion.

Anne sat back in the upholstered
seat sat straight, chin firm above the
silver fox, only her eyes showing the
anguish of the moment. If they were
not to be married, what was to be-
come Of her?
She couldn't live on at home, Aunt
Charlotte would make that impoS-
sible. Where could she 60 to live?
Terror of the unknown before her, she
began to tremble. She mustn't break
down before him. Men hated women
who cried. She wouldn't let him see
her in tears, again.
I'D like to 60 home now, please"
she said softly.
Rob didn't answer. He started the
motor, backed away, then with a
savage meshing Of gears sent the car
hurting down the steep hills to the
great grey house which spelled q
monument to all his hopes.
II won't come in" he said as he
helped Anne to alight.

falter.

frankly. This has about knocked me
for q goal. I'll telephone"

went down the driveway and disap-
peared around the turn without wav-
ing. She mustn't cry. Sharlee would
be watching from behind the curtains.

her I want to see her, also"
Realization of their impending
troubles made her own OF less i'm
portance for the moment. She must
put off the luxury Of tears until she
had forewarned them of the change.
Yvonne was waiting for her, q vel-
vet lounging robe and slippers
warmed, a hearth fire cracking.

says she has made the scones you like.

behind Luke's sudden desire to change
his will. you see, dear, I'm not his

"Rob!" she cried, don't, don't look
like that"
"It's been a shock" he muttered,
II don't know what to say"
She must be understanding. must
not crowd him with the questions, with
the demands for reinsurance Of his
love, which came rushing to her lips.
She must E. . perhaps if she thought
Of something else. He was lighting
q cigaret. She heard the click Of the
lighter as it snapped back in place.
She would think Of the house.
She looked towards it. A carpen-

viciously. then crumpled the stem
under tense fingers What break" J"
he repeated.
But Rob, don't care as long as
I have you. The other doesn't matter.
Remember how you've always said
you wished I was poor so you could
really care for me?"
"Care for you." he gave short
laugh, ION three hundred q month,
after what you've been used to? Good
heavens, Anne, have you any idea what
it costs to run home?'
But I'll have my allowance and I
can cook, Rob. Maggie's been teach
ing me for years. And Mrs. Harvey
has taught me all about housekeeping,
mother insisted should know so I
could manage servants properly"
She talked in feverish haste and
hated herself for doing 80. Was she
trying to force Rob into marrying
her? He didn't seem to want her. But
he must, she couldn't lose this last hold

played In it.

you wouldn't jeopardize your posi-

to find employment and I'm sure. as

really no need to! It's just too bad for
the girl who doesn't know she can
keep her dates and keep comfortable.
For painful periods, do this:
Watch the calendar. At the first sign
of approaching pain, take a Midol
tablet and drink a glass of water,
and you may escape pain entirely.
If not, then second tablet should
check it within few minutes. Midol
is on drug counters everywhere.
