Poor Farm Sale
Receipts Unusual

Fairmont-Martin county COM
missioners were all smiles last
week as they checked total of
$500 receipts from the auction
sale at the county farm, about
$500 more than they expected. 1t
was one of the best sales in the
county this season, with two cows
bringing a top of Sill each. Other
livestock and machinery likewise
brought high prices. A manure
spreader bought four years ago
for $50, brought 500 at the auc-
ton.
The farm made the best show
ing in recent year during the year
just closed, but it has never been
operated at a profit even in the
pre-depression year. The annual
LOSS over a period of years has
averaged close to $4,000. The
county will continue to care for
the IL persons who were housed
at the farm.

D. c. POLICE TAKE
FREED CONVICT
Man Released in Maryland
Brought Here to Face
Robbery Charge.

For the first time in almost five
years the gates of the Maryland
Penitentiary swung open today for
Hyman Kronick, "a, allowing him to
pass outside and into the custody of
Washington police, who want him for
robbery.
Kronick, who has three aliases, will
be brought here in connection with q
series of Is housebreakings in 1882, for
which Inspector Bernard w. Thomp-
son said he is under indictment.
With time off for good behavior,
Kronick finished a five-year term in
the Maryland prison, which he served
after being convicted of a string OF
10 housebreakings in Baltimore.
AS he left, he was met by Detective
Sergts. Thomas j. Sullivan and Robert
Bryant, who were to escort him to the
Capital
When he arrives here Kronick,
known to Washington police as Ken
meth Hundred and said by Baltimore
authorities to have used the names
James Rawlings and Kenneth Meyers,
also will be questioned about a num-
ber of additional housebreakings and
mail-box robberies.
Police say Kronick also is wanted
by Georgia and Kentucky authorities
for escapes from their penal or reform
institutions. He allegedly escaped in
1880 from the Kentucky Reformatory,
at Frankfort, where he was serving
burglary sentence, and later from
prison camp at Hinesville, Ga,
where he also was sentenced for
burglary

NEW PARKING BAN
FOR SNOW SEASON
STUDIED BY HAzEN
Commissioner Points to
Need as Latest Fall
ThaWs Out.
CITY HAS AUTHORITY
TO ACT, HE BELIEVES
Prohibition on Flow" Side of
Arterial Highways Possible if
Present Rule Is Invalid.

A new snow-remoVal parking ban
plan was under consideration today
as the District faced a gradual thaw
Of the remnants of its 5-inch snow
fall.
Prohibition Of parking "a hours q
day on the flow" side of SO or more
arterial highways will be considered
should the District lose its appeal on
the snow-removal parking ban, ac-
cording to Commissioner Melvin C.
HaZen.
This is the latest development in the
long series of efforts by the Commits
sloners to keep the main traffic arteries
free OF parked cars during Winter
months. when snowstorms may serve
to handicap snow removal and in
crease congestion as cars become snow
bound.
Hazen insisted again today he be-
heves the District has the authority
to ban parking Of automobiles, whether
such regulations are tied to snow
removal work or not.
we plan to prosecute this appea]
from the ruling of Judge Edward M
Curran,' Hazen said. Should We lose
that appeal, however, 1 will advocate
general parking ban on cars on the
main arterial highways, at least on the
flow side. I believe that can be done
, under out existing statutes, but if legal
opinion indicates the need of addi-
tlonal legislation, I propose that we
go to Congress for the necessary au-
thority"
To Ask for Seal Opinion.
Hazen said no move would be made
In that direction until the appeal was
decided and then he would ask Corpo-
ration Counsel Elwood H. Seal for an
opinion as to whether additional leg
lslatlon was needed.
The forecast for this afternoon was

MEMORIAL PLANS
BEFORE ARTSBODY
To Be Discussed SATURDAY..
Group to Oppose Project
> in Congress.

! The Fine Arts Commission expects
to devote most of its meeting Satur-
| day to a discussion of plans for the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial, to be
erected at the south side of the Tidal
Basin in West Potomac Park, it was
| indicated today. A joint meeting with
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission will be held during
the day.
Meanwhile, as plans for the Satur-
day sessions were being completed,
the newly formed League for Progress
in Architecture served notice the me-
mortal project will be opposed in Con-
gress. Asserting that several hun
dred protests from all over the coun-
try against the memorial are in hand,
the league contended that traffic tie
ups will result from the road arrange
ments of the memorial at Highway
Bridge, and that the japanese cherry
trees will be jeopardized
At the same time, a defense of the
selection of the site and the work of
the Memorial Commission set up by
Congress was made in a statement
by H. P. Caemmerer, executive Sec
retary of the Fine Arts Commission.
Congress already has authorized So
100000 for erection of the memorial,
but the money has not yet been ap-
propriated
Called Housing Study" Group.
The League for Progress in Architec-
ture, which consists of about 80 men,
including architects in the Resettle-
ment Administration and other Gov
eminent offices; private architects,
statisticians and others, is primarily
"a housing study group" according to
its secretary, Richard Churchill, Re-
settlement landscape architect.
League spokesmen characterized the
design OF John Russell Pope, archi-
tect for the memorial, as completely
inappropriate" and completely with
out imagination or vitality" and con-
tended that an open competition should
be held, instead of choosing Pope to
execute the design.
In statement, the league asserted /:
'The proposed design could equally
serve, by a simple change in the in
scription, as memorial to Theodore
Roosevelt, Edgar Allan Poe or the
Supreme Court"
The National Park Service has been
designated as the agent of the Memoir
lal Commission to build the memorial.
Drillers OF the United States Engineer
Once have been at work determining
the character of the foundations of
the site.
Caemmerer emphasized that the To-
cation selected is the fourth great
cardinal point in the Central Com
position of the Plan of Washington,
south OF the axis of the White House.
Caemmerer's Comment.
The Thomas Jefferson Memorial
commission appointed John Russell
Pope of New York City, an architect
OF national reputation, to design the
| memorial and he has designed a
memorial that resembles the PAN
theon, Of which Jefferson was an
ardent admirer," Caemmerer said.
The memorial differs from the PAN
theon in that it is an open colonnade.
In design it conforms to the design
