Virginia Police
To Keep Check
On La1 Drivers

A record Of warnings given careless
motorists on Virginia highways Is
planned by the State police, with a
view of landing second offenders in
court.
A. J. Lucas, Virginia State police
examiner for Arlington and Fairfax
Counties and Alexandria, said the
State Commission OF Motor Vehicles
is considering issuing tickets to motor
lists that police halt on the road to
warn Of violations. The "old-fash-
ioned" ticket, or summons to court,
will continue in use.
The procedure, Mr.. Lucas said, will
be for each officer to keep four records
of the warning ticket issued-one each
for himself. his sergeant, lieutenant
and superintendent of police. In event
of second similar offense in another
section Of the State the usual summons
wiz De issued after check has been
made at Richmond to discover If there
are any previous warnings.

ORDNANCE TO BAN
TRA|[ERS DRAF TED
Eastern and Western Areas
Of Montgomery County
Would Be Affected.
BY star Correspondent of The s,sr.

BY Star Correspondent of The S.ar,
ROCKVILLE, Md, June AT the
request of Commissioner Paul NJ.
Coughlan OF Silver Spring, F. Barnard
Welsh, counsel to the County Board
today was preparing an ordinance to
ban trailers from the Eastern and
Western suburban districts.
The ordinance will be patterned
after one now in effect in Takoma
Park requiring water and sewer con-
nections for all trailers remaining in
a camp more than "a hours. The
ordinance would not apply to other
sections of the county, in many parts
OF which neither water nor sewer con-
nections are available.
This move was the result of an ef-
fort to force removal of trailers from
a camp operated by Edwin L. Rice at
8720 Second avenue, Silver Spring,
following receipt of complaints from
neighbors. Investigation by States
Attorney James H. Pugh revealed that
the only ordinance under which
charges against Mr.. Rice could be
filed was one prohibiting a business
enterprise in residential area, ,n
Mr.. Rice was arrested on dat
charge yesterday and released on s1o0
bond for trial in Rockville Police
Court June IA. He declared he would
carry the case to the United States
Supreme Court if necessary to estab-
lish the right of a citizen to live in a
trailer if he preferred.
He said his defense would be that
he is not conducting a business, but
leasing ground for residential purposes.
Many OF the trailer occupants on his
property have been there since last
October and have children attending
Montgomery County schools, he said.

Virginia Marks
Ride of Its OlUn
Paul Revere
y the Associated Press.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. June A.
1t was 158 years ago last night that
Jack Jouett made his 40-mile ride
over rugged countryside to warn
Thomas Jefferson and members of the
Virginia General Assembly here that
the British were coming.
This midnight jaunt, obscured by
the lack of Longfellow, Is mentioned
in but few history books and is all but
unknown outside Of Virginia. Mr..
Jouett lies in an unmarked grave.
A captain in the Continental Army,
Mr.. Jouett chanced to be in the Cuckoo
Tavern vicinity on the night of June
3, 1881, when the British calvary under
Col. Banastre Tarlton arrived there
on a surprise move to Charlottesville
for the purpose of capturing Gov.
Jefferson and the Assembly. The State
government was transferred to this
city wher Richmond fell.
Mr.. Jouett set out about 10 o'clock
and rode furiously to Monticello, ar
irving there about dawn, about three
hours ahead of Col. Tarlton, and Gov
Jefferson had ample time to fee.
The anniversary of the ride, held by
some to have been of more conse-
quence than that of Paul Revere, will
be observed today by Daughters of the
American Revolution at the Farming
ton Country Club.

RAIL RELIEF BILL

R. F. c. Head Is Reported
Aiming at Compromise
Lending Plan.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Administration leaders are attempt
ing to revive the r. F. G. railroad
lending bill.
Chairman jesse Jones of the Re-
construction Finance Corp. was re-
ported by informed Senators today
to be negotiating with representatives
of the rail brotherhoods on a COM
promise which might win their sup
port.
The brotherhoods have opposed the
bill because of the railroads demand
that employees take is per cent pay
cut.
Chairman Wagner of the Senate
Banking Committee, where the bill
has lain dormant since its recall from
the Senate calendar two weeks ago,
said there was "some hope" Of passing
a modified version.
The measure, introduced by Sem
ator Wagner, would permit the r. r.
C. to advance funds to the railroads
to buy equipment and to re-employ
maintenance workers and others laid
of in recent months.
Mr.. Jones was reported to be urging
the rail brotherhoods to accept the
legislation, with some amendments
designed to prevent loans to. roads
which cut wages. on the grounds they
would benefit through increased en-
ployment. Previously union off1cials
said they thought any amendment
dealing with wage reductions would
be ineffective.
A spokesman for the railroads, who
declined to be quoted by NAME said
the carriers would stand pat on their
application for wage cuts.

GOVERN I'M ENT LOSES
$2O,OOO,0OO SUIT
Fails in Effort to Recover
Sum From Bethlehem as
'Extortionate' Profit.

by the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, June 4.-The
Government lost yesterday in its ef-
forts to recover from the Bethlehem
Steel Corp. $20,0o0,o00 which Federal
attorneys charged was "extortionate"
profit on a huge contract for building
World War ships.
In his decision Federal Judge Oliver
B. Dickinson criticized the company
for squeezing the Government" and
denounced bonus features of a "cost
plus 10 per cent" agreement.
The execution Of bonus for doing
what 1t was the contractual duty of
the employe (Bethlehem) to do and
what it was otherwise paid for doing,
partakes of the nature OF a racket, -
the court said
However, the Judge ordered the
Government to pay Bethlehem an ad-
ditional $5,000.000, saying he was
powerless to do otherwise under the
$120 100000 contract. It called for a
SO per cent bonus on the saving If the
actual cost of ship were below the
estimate. The Government asked the
company's profits be limited to 10 per
cent Of the cost.

world outdoor record at 1000 yards.
He is almost as good at the half as he
is at the mile. But. to repeat, 500

Glenn faces one of the best fields in

is Jimmy Herbert. the New York U.
