Washington Park Community Club Notes

1t is all over but the shouting and they will be crowned champs, but a win for the Vallone men means a 2 out of 3 game play of some time in the next week. On 8 court like we have anything can happen and tricks been done before, even the American Brass suffered defeat at the hands of the Chemical Co. with some of the best player around per- forming with the copper boys, so here's a warning to Red Gladney and his Eillies.
 Red Vallone has a badly sprained ankle and the Community club will be a gloomy bunch of kids because they have figured quite a bit on Red.
 The probable lineups will be: R. Hillies w. F. c. S. Larusso, Lacilla. |. Platt, K. Kelley

North Carolina watermelons, re-
garded by some epicures as the
best grown, have made their ap-
pearance on the Washington mar
ket.
Sixteen hundred of the luscious
melons were slowed in the matches

For six years 11-year-old Lor-

piano.
It is her ambition to some day
sit at a piano and enthrall a large
audience with the music of her

Her mother, Mrs. Ralph w. Ben

Lorraine, for the last three
years, has won the annual con-
tests in piano for her age group
staged by the Federation of Music
Clubs. She won the last contest
with an average Of 99.S, the high
est ever made N piano by a Dis
trict resident.
A feature Of winning the con-

HOME OWNERS
FIGHT FOR
SEWER
F fashionable D. c. Area
Fears Disease, Say
Residents

Outraged residents Of the $500
block of Thirty-first st. N. W.,
one of the city's fashionable dis
tricts, today were contemplating
what action, if any, they might
take as taxpayers to make District
engineers construct an under
ground storm sewer and pave the
alley in the rear of their houses
in order to stop the washing OF
sediment, slime, and ashes onto
their property.
Continued refusal by the Dis
trict sanitation and engineering
offices to sanction any improve
ment in existing conditions follow
ing numerous consultations on the
matter, in addition to signed
petition by residents of the block,
will have to be met by appeal to
the local health authorities, &C
cording to Theodore D. Gatchel,
spokesman for the group and
principal of Emerson Institute
Preparatory School.
Pointing out that his home and
those of his neighbors are built
on sloping ground, Gatchel told
Of the effects of rains and wash
outs which have caused "cesspools"
of muck and slime in sufficient
degree to destroy vegetable gar
dent planted by him and his
neighbors. Recently three persons
were taken i'll with dysentary, be-
lieVed to be caused by noxiouS
odors escaping from piled-up debris
and ashes spread over the alley
way.
AS one means OF solving the
problem, Gatchel said Director OF
Sanitation John B. Gordon Sug-
gested an open sewer to run on
the property of home owners de-
signed to carry rain washings
from the alley to- the main storm
sewer on Thirty-First Street. Such
a plan, Gatchel said would en-
croach on his property and that
of his neighborS and would not do
away with disease germs.
District engineering employees
yesterday dumped a quantity OF
ashes and dirt in the alley to fill
up large poor OF stagnant water.

Ideal Future City
Is ShOW11 Here
In Miniature

In this day and age Of numer-
GUS traffic accidents and countless
parking tickets, it is hard to i'm
agine a city where pedestrians
may walk with the utmost safety
and the motoriSt always can ind
a parking space.
But such picture was unfolded
yesterday to a score or more Dis
trict officials picture of a city
of the future which held Commits
sioner Melvin C. Hazen, Traffic
Director William V. Van Duzer,
Director of Highways Herbert c.
Whitehurst, Police Chief Ernest
w. Brown and other officials,
spellbound..
Designed by DR.. Miller NC
Clintock, of Harvard University
and created in miniature by Nor
man Bel Geddes, noted designer
and artist, the model city was
pictured on a screen for the Off
Gals in the District Building board
room by the Shell Oil Company.
The city featured express and local
highways, parking spaces occupy
ing the entire first floor of build
ings, pedestrian sidewalks elevated
to the second floor and sunk be-
meath the level of the highways
all giving the motorists the
privilege Of speeding unimpeded
and the pedestrian a chance to
saunter about without fear Of
death by accident.

ESQ D. {. AGED
FACING SLASH
IN PENSIONS
Those Receiving More
Than $50 Monthly to
Get Reduction

Two hundred and fifty of the
$500 old age pensioners on Dis
trict rolls were sent notices today
that their monthly allowance will
be slashed beginning August /.
Welfare Board officials said an
inadequate appropriation was the
cause of the cut. They were noti-
fled their allowances will be cut to
$50. Half of this money is paid
by the Federal Government and
half by the District government.
Relief Director M. Alice Hill de-
clared the current appropriation
of 1896, 900, which is matched by
an equal sum of Federal Govern
ment money, will care only for
the 1900 cases on the rolls. She
said that applications were on file
for 1000 other old-age pensions.
Welfare Director Elwood Street
said no cuts were contemplated
in relief for the needy blind or aid
for dependent children.
Recently, because of a slash in
the current general relief appro-
priation, which this year stands at
$1,411 500, the Welfare Board was
forced to make a 80 per cent cut
in general relief budgets.
Street said the average budget
of the old-age pension cases was
$25 a month, and that many drew
less than $50 a month.

CLEANERS WIN
NLRB BALLOT

Local No. 1877 Of the Laundry
Workers, Dry Cleaners and Dyers
Union today was acting as the COL
lective bargaining agent for nine
local plants in their field, follow
ing the first National Labor Re-
lations Board election ever held in
Washington.
Employees of two dry cleaning
firms voted against the union.
The election grew out Of a long
strike against the II establish
ments. Both employers and en-
ployes agreed to settle the matter
bfore the NLRB, after they had
reached a stalemate in discus
sions of union recognition, higher
wages and shorter hours.
Union heads announced, follow
ing the results of the NLRB cleo
ton, that they would seek an S18
minimum wage, a 40-hour week,
time-and-a-half for overtime and
complete recognition Of the union.

HOPES CALLED
DIM FOR VOTE
THIS SESSION
Both War, Commerce
Departments in Row
Over Construction

A departmental dispute between
the War Department and the Com.
merce Department is responsible
for the delay in the introduction
of the bill which is to give Wash.
nigton a municipal airport at
Camp Springs, Md, The Washing.
ton Times learned exclusively to-
day.
Added to the disapproval Of the
Navy Department, and the aSSer.
ton from House members that the
financing Of the project solely by
the Federal Government is not &C
ceptable, there is an entire lack Of
aggressiveness to push the matter
at this session of Congress.
Senator william H. King, chair.
man of the airport commission
that selected the Camp Springs
site, today said he would not in
troduce the bill until it had the
unanimous approval of the COM
mission.
Army Claims Job
The Army is represented on the
commission by Maj. Gen. Oscar
Westover, chief of the Air Corps.
The War Department believes it
should have control of construc-
ton Of the airport because it has
a corps of engineers which can
carry on the job. The Commerce
Department, which regulates all
commercial air traffic, claims the
job because Of its experience in
promoting safety.
Further complications were pro-
vided when, at a meeting of the
House Naval Affairs Committee
today a letter was read from Ad.
miral William D. Leahy, chief Of
naval operations and acting secre-
tary of the Navy, protesting the
Camp Springs site.
The letter calls attention to the
fact that the Navy has set up
radio receiving stations at Chelten-
ham, Md, in order to be out Of the
way of interference. Planes and
ing nearby would interfere with
reception, the letter claims.
Representative Carl Vinson CD
of Georgia, chairman Of the COM
mittee, to whom the letter was
addressed, Immediately referred
the airport controversy to the sub
committee on aeronautics headed
by Representative John J. Delaney
CD of New York.
In his instructions to the sub
committee, Chairman VinSon re-
quested report las soon as pos
sible," pointing out that the Navy
was spending a million dollars for
the Cheltenham station, which is
only three miles from the site Of
the proposed airport.
In addition, although there Is .
constant discussion Of the airport
situation by commission members.
some have indicated that they see
little hope of any legislation pass
ing at this session.
