than Baltimore, he testified, and sell.
ing direct there would eliminate much
OF the hauling and the commission
merchant charges.
Saw No Cause to Complain.
Roberts said he was manager of
the largest stock farm in Southern
Maryland and had visited the site of
the old slaughter house thousands Of
times. He protested there was never
cause for complaint against odors.
Like other witnesses opposed to the
King bill, he complained that the
fish market smells were worse" but
when questioned about the extent Of
the area covered by such market
odors he was less positive.
Asked by Senator Tydlngs if the
erection Of the Gobel plant would be
detrimental to the health, sanitation
or appearance OF the city and if the
odors would be obnoxious, the witness
replied no"
Senator McCarran interposed to say:
II don't think it would affect the ap-
pearance at Benning"
Roberts said ne was in favor OF
beautifying Washington, but not to
the detriment of business.
Asked by Assistant Corporation
Counsel West If he would like to have
slaughter house near his home,
Roberts replied that he would not.
He knew OF no suitable place five
miles over the District line for a
slaughter house where water and cleo
tricity would be available without con-
siderable expenditure.
Another farmer, John Riggles Of
Seabrooke, was called to defend the
Gobel plant. "A modern abattoir is not
smelly place" he said. I'VE have
five smelly sewers in Prince Georges
County which empty into the Ana
costa River above Bladensburg. They
are far worse than any abattoir and
smell much worse than animals could
possibly smell"
He invited the committee to go out
to Bladensburg and smell" for them
selves. He mentioned also molasses
plant as odorous.
Riggles claimed the people in Prince

by the Kalorama Heights Citizens
Association. She is the widow OF the
late pure food expert.
Although her association had taken
| decisive action in favor of the King
bill to protect Washington's park de-
velopments from encroachment Of
nuisance industries, Mrs. Wiley said
she, herself, was neither for nor
| against it."
| She said all things should be taken
into consideration, such as the revenue
needs of the District. unemployment
and essential services like trash dumps
and incinerators.

She recalled there had been an
s'outcry' against the Tourist Camp in
Potomac Park, but that now it was
screened by shrubbery and no one
complains about it. With advanced
improvements, she expressed the
opinion that even slaughter houses

Georges County who expect to make a
living from the Gobel plant want to
see 1t in operation.
Proponents OF the King bill were
called to the stand and Mrs Helen
Fowler, who said she had lived on
Kenilworth avenue near the slaughter
house site for many years, claimed
she had been annoyed excessively" by
the odors from the old plant.
Mrs. Fowler said she wanted to
protest against the kind of testimony
given by the two witnesses from Prince
Georges County who could detect no
offensive odors.. Residents in the
neighborhood, she claimed, were I'M
able to give garden parties because of
the smells from the stock pens.
AS she concluded her testimony, a
woman arose from the rear of the COM
mittee room and shouted: II want to
check and double check everything
Mrs. Fowler has said"
She later gave her name as Mrs.
c. w. Shearon, who lives one-half mile
from the Gobel property.
"A slaughter house is a curse that
ought not to be permitted in any
city" she testified, and then gave a
rapid-f1re account Of nights spent
during former years, of windows closed
against odors and bawling OF live
stock in the pens. THE odors were
simple abominable," she claimed, and
refused to admit anything less under

witness, presented resolution against

Mikelaski Baker, proprietor OF the
Benning Hotel. presented resolution
adopted Tuesday night by the Ben
ming Citizens Association favoring
the establishment OF the Gobel plant.
Last Fall a similar resolution was
approved by the same group.
Questioned by Vernon West, assist
ant corporation counsel, the proprie-
tor admitted the hotel was owned by
the Union Stockyards. which adjoins
the Gobel site. Although only 200
feet distant from the yards, Baker
professed that he had never been
conscious of odors from the animals
when the old slaughter house was in
operation Most of the persons patron
izing the hotel in those days. he said,
were farmers and cattle sellers, and
he said the Benning Citizens Asso-
citation would like to see the slaughter
house reopen Ito give people en-
ployment."
Some years ago, Baker admitted,
there were odors from incarceration,
but these had eventually been elimi-
mated. He claimed "95 per cent of
the people in Benning" wanted the
slaughter house reopened, but later
told the committee that about 20
persons" attended the associations
meeting Tuesday evening.
Questioned on Visits to Site.
At the outset of the session Sena-
tor Tydings of Maryland asked how
many witnesses had visited the Ben
ming site. A number for and against"
raised their hands. He said the sub
committee had visited it and suggested
that others do likewise.
Senator TyGlngs introduced as his
first witness in opposition to the bill
former member of the Maryland
Legislature, Clarence M. Roberts OF
Landover, a lawyer and stock raiser
Roberts left no doubt in any minds
that he and other farmers in Prince
Georges County, whom he represent
ed, were anxious to sell their cattle
and hogs in Washington

house at Kenilworth avenue and Ben
ming road is Objectionable.
The commission commended the I'M
loading of cattle, the keeping of
beasts in stock yards and the whole
slaughter house transaction is "a very
Objectionable nuisance" in the Capital
and serious setback to the develop
ment of the Northeast section, which
the commission has been interested in
improving for many years.
Delano to Head Group.
The Planning Commissions delega-
ton was to be headed by Delano and
include j. G. Nichols of Kansas City,
Mo, real estate developer, who has
had experience with stock yards and
slaughter houses there, and Prof
Henry w. Hubbard of Harvard Uni
versity. landscape architect and city
planner, who also knows of slaughter
houses in the Boston area.
After devoting an hour to express
slons from those favorlng the King
bill, the committee planned to hear
others who wish slaughter house re-
opened in the Benning district, regard
less of virtual city-Wide opposition.
There was no indication whether
Chairman McCarran would demand
an immediate vote at the close of the
hearings or would postpone such &C
ton until later executive session.
Vigorous statements for and against
the proposed slaughter house opera
tons in the Benning district, chief
bone Of contention at the hearing,
were heard from witnesses yesterday
afternoon. AS two livestock growers
from Prince Georges County, Md,
urged rejection of the King measure
and gave the proposed Gobel slaugh-
ter house a clean bill of health, sew
eral feminine witnesses raised their
voices in objection.

Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, secretary Of
the Forest Hills Citizens Association,
briefly expressed the views Of that
group in opposition to a slaughter
house. She was twitted by Senator
Austin OF Vermont about a printed
statement to the effect that Secretary
of the Interior Ickes favored calling
the Gobel plant the "Tydings- NC
Carran memorial" if it Is allowed
to be built on the Benning site. Mrs.

argument in favor of the slaughter
