In a letter to Aubrey Williams

Alliance demanded that q mini

Reiterating, also, a previous pro-
posal for a general raise n WPA

wrote Mr.. Williams:
We are loath to believe the
sponsor of this wage clause, Con.
gresS which passed it and the
Administration which raised no
objection when it was introduced,
could have been lacking in good
faith. 1t is therefore our convic.
ton that an oversight has occurred

upon the question of workers paid

which the comptroller general had
jurisdiction to render an opinion.

ARLINGTON. Va. Oct. 5.-Con
tinuing its fight against row
houses here, the Arlington County
Civic Federation last night adopted
tive resolutions for consideration
ny the County Board before the
row-houSe controversy is settled.
One supported oppose d
amendment to the zoning ordl-
nance that would outlaw all fu-
ture rowhouse development, an
other indirectly criticised county
officials for not appealing recent
adverse roW-houSe court decisions
PRAISE AND CRITICISM
Members of the County Board
who backed the proposal of F.
Freeland Chew to outlaw roW-type
homes at yesterdays board meet
ing were praised for supporting the
federation's stand.
In line with a previous resolu-
ton condemning the failure OF
county officials to appeal adverse
court decisions that permitted
several groups of row houses in
Arlington. the civic group called
upon the board to instruct Com
monwealthS Attorney Lawrence
w. Douglas and County Manager
Frank C. Hanrahan to advise the
board of any pending court action
. that might jeopardize county
laws.
OTHER RESOLUTIONS
Other resolutions asked that the
October IA meeting of the county
board be held at night to give
citizens a better opportunity to-
present their views on the pro-
posal to permit three-in-a-roW
houses, asked that action on the
three-in-a-row proposal be post
poned until November IA, and

Shake Down
And Racket Charged

G.N.s0 wPA is a politicians
racket" in some sections Of the
nation, Senator Wheeler CD.
Montana, charged here today in
a blistering attack upon the Ad
ministration. He said:
"The workers on WPA are be-
coming dissatisfied because they
see so many politicians being ap-
pointed to white collar jobs and
see WPA used as a political
racket. While it may be an as
set to a political organization to
control WPA, it won't be long
before 1t is a liability"
Wheeler said Western farmers
were in an ugly mood" because
of the low price of wheat and
other farm products. He added
In some parts of Montana it
takes a bushel of wheat to buy
two loaves Of bread"

AS a matter Of fact, King George
and Queen Elizabeth danced it
last night, with all the knee
slapping and shouted "Oi's" which
have made the dance famous.
COME UNHERALDED
The royal participation in the
routine fashioned by songsmiths
and dance masters from the swing
ing gait. and cries Of London's
cockneyS took place at the annual
'Gillies' Ball" at Balmoral Castle.
Unheralded and unannounced,
the King and Queen slipped into
the ballroom at 10 O'Clock during
the height of the festivities.
Eschewing all formality, the
monarchs joined the happy throng
of Balmoral estate workers and
for a few moments transformed
themselves into cockneyS, strut
ting, stamping, slapping and cry
ing "oi" with all the rest.
OLD SCOTCH DANCES
The King and Queen then linked
arms with their men and women
tenants and performed the more
sedate but equally popular ''Palais
Glide" in which the dancers grace
fully dip and sway for a few bars
of music, ending each movement
with an. energetic double stamp.
Old Scotch dances, Of which the
Queen is extremely fond, also were
on the program.
The sovereigns stayed until mid
night.
