at Tammany Hall in taking q
stand in the bitter fight that has
been stirred up within the Demo
cratic party which has put for.
ward two candidates for the may
orally nomination in an effort to
beat the Fusion mayor, Fiorello
H. LaGuardia, who plans to run
again.
Backed Copeland
Dooling jeopardized his leader
ship at the wigwam by insisting
on U. S. Senator Royal S. Cope
land as the Democratic candi-
date for mayor. Previously the
New Deal element in the party
had put forth the candidacy Of
Grover A. Whalen, business man
and former police commissioner.
The hats of both Copeland and
Whalen are now in the ring and
a hot primary fight is fore
Swallowed.
The day before last Fridays
meeting of the Tammany execu-
tive committee it looked as
though Dooling's reign at the
Hall was over. But by an
eleventh-hour coup he effected
an alignment and put Copeland
over as the Tammany candidate.
Funeral Thursday
But the strain probably killed
him.
Dooling's funeral will be at 9
a. m. Thursday from the Belle
Harbor summer place. An hour
later a solemn high mass will be
sung at Holy Cross Roman Cath
Ole Church in New York City
where he was a lifelong communi-
cant. He was born not far from
the church at 460 West Forty-third
st. That was the home of his
father, the late Peter j. Dooling,
leader of the district before him,
and that is where the son always
lived.
The death of Dooling was sur
prise and shock to his many
friends in Tammany circles, in
Guiding former Governor Alfred E.
Smith. Dooling was a protege Of
AL Smith.

Change in Sugar
Quota Hit

Clarence r. Biting, Florida SUI
gar manufacturer, yesterday sup
ported Secretary Of Interior Ickes
in opposing any new sugar legis-
lation at this session Of Congress.
Ickes attacked a pending bill to
increase protection for domestic
raw sugar production through al
teration of present quota provi.
Sions. He said it is unfair to Ha-
wall and Puerto Rico.
Billings statement yesterday was
in the form of q letter to Senator
Borah CRD. of Idaho, one of the
leading advocates Of further legis-
lation to protect beet-sugar pro-
ducers.
Borah, in q telegram to Biting,
said the beet sugar growers
frankly want and need the legis-
lation."
Biting declared yesterday beet
sugar producers are deriving vast
profits already, under the present
arrangement. Beet sugar produc-
ton never has filled the beet sugar
quota, he said, adding:
"Thus, there has never been
any restriction on beet sugar
lust benefit payments"

5 STRIKE HALLS
STEEL WORK

Announcement that 200 structu-
raj steel workers in the Archives
Building would be unable to COM
ply with their contract tomorrow
because painters have failed to
complete necessary work prelimi-
nary to the steel work require
ments, was made today by Bryce
Holcomb, business agent OF the
local painters union.
Holcomb added that the strike
by painters on all Federal pro-
jectS let by the Procurement Divi-
sion of the Treasury Department
will be continued, with the posi-
bility that picketS will go back to
their posts tomorrow because Of
a situation that arose today when
the Department of Labor refused
to render an Interpretation on the
Davis-Bacon Act as it applies to
union and non-union labor on
Federal projects in the District.
The effect of the painters strike
was evidenced at the Apex Build.
ing today when metal workers
were forced to quit work because
painters had not completed their
preliminary jobs.
The Stalemate in negotiations
occurred today when the Depart
ment of Labor refused to deal with
the matter unless requested to do
so by officials of the Procurement
Division. The latter have steadily
maintained that there is no strike
situation on Federal projects in
Washington.

commissioners, have both pledged
support of the campaign for an
improvement of whose extreme
narrOwness has been the cause of
a number of accidents and deaths
since its completion, nearly 10
years ago.
Adequate When Built
Perry Boswell said:
"The Grain Highway is a part
Of the State roads system and
cannot be improved by the
county, but the Commissioners
will do everything possible to
have the State roads commits
sion put shoulders along each
side. At the time the highway
was built, its Is feet in width
was entirely adequate to carry
the tourist and Summer-resOrt
traffic. Since then, however, it
has become q main arterial high
way for truck and bus traffic be-
tween New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and the South"
Capt. Vinton D. Cockey, a mem
Der Of the county commission, has
pointed out that the Defense High
way, long noted as a dangerous
road and the scene of an accident
two years ago in which five per-
sons were killed, is five feet wider
than Grain Highway.
Six in One Coffin
At st. Mary's Cemetery yester-
day, Henry and Anna hammers,
father and mother of four of the
dead children and close relatives
of the other three, stood dry-eyed
and silent beside the single grave
to hear Father Joseph Myer of the
st. Mary's Church intone the last
rites over the two flower-decked
collins, one containing the re-
mains Of 7-year-old David Man
ming, who died several hours after
the accident, and the other the
charred remains of the six who
were trapped and cremated in the
flaming car.
Grouped around the double
grave with their parents were the
nine remaining children, all tall
and rangy. With them were Mr..
and Mrs. Rodney Baldwin, parents
Of the dead Francis Baldwin, IA;
the three brothers of Frances
Haker, 10, another victim, and
Mrs. Michael Manning, daughter
Of the elderly Henry hammers and
mother of David Manning, the
youngest victim.
Burned to Death
The children were killed when
their car was struck by a large
trailer van as they we're return
ing from the firemen's carnival
at Glen Burnie late Thursday
night. The impact overturned the
car and exploded the gas tank.
The children were trapped in the
blazing auto and all died. The
truck driver, E. M. King, unin-
jured in the accident, succeeded
in pulling little David Manning
from the wreckage, but he died
in a Washington hospital several
hours later.
The dead are Pauline, 90; Der.
nard, 81; Mildred, 10; Anna May,
10; all members of the hammers
family, and Frances Haker, a
cousin; Francis Baldwin, IA, a

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home

Should lawns be seeded In the
fall?
The best time for seeding lawns
depends on the kind of grass used,
the soil and climate. Probably the
best time in &, Minnesota is from
April to the middle of May, and
again in latebsummer provided the
seed is sown, by the first week OF
September. Fall seeding is better
in that the grass grows well and
the weeds do not. However, a lawn
seeded in late fall is likely to be-
come rough and full of pockets,
owing to weather conditions at
this time. Grass seed planted after
September may not get good
start before cold weather sets in
and may be winter killed.. e.
Longley, horticulturist
How can I make a soft water fill
ter effective in keeping undesirable
tastes and odors out of the water ?
Cistern water will not acquire a
pronounced taste and odor if the
down spouts from the building
carry the water first through a
sand-charcoal filter can be made
into the cistern proper. Such a
sand-charcoal filte rcan be made
by putting coarse gravel in the
bottom of a barrel, covering this
with finer gravel, and that with a
layer of sand. Then put above the
sand a foot or two of cracked char
coal, putting over this some coarse
gravel, and then above this some
finer gravel. This will build up a
bar SO that the rain water from
the spouts will run through the
layer Of charcoal before it enters
try.
the cistern. This tends to sweeten
the rain water and to remove solid
particles which may come off the
shingles.-R. A. Gortner, chief,
