Ambassador to Germany, will be
given a preliminary hearing Decem-
Der II in the Justice Court at Ash
land, Va, on a charge of hit-and
run driving.
Mr.. Dodd, who was returning here
last night, posted bond of $4,000,
which was furnished by T. Justin
Moore, Richmond attorney and
friend of the Dodd family. The
former Ambassador is charged with
failing to stop after his car struck
and injured Gloria Grimes. 4-year-
old colored child, near here Monday
When taken before Trial Justice
Robert T. Winston last night Mr..
Dodd said the mishap was entirely
an accident" Justice Winston re-
minded him that a hit-and-run
charge in Virginia involves felony.
Travelling About As.
Il didn't stop, first" Mr.. Dodd
said, because I wasn't sure I had
hit him, (the colored girl was dressed
in boys clothing) and second, as
an ex-Ambassador, I didn't want
to make sensation
Mr.. Dodd was talkative and ap-
peared highly nervous while making
his bond. While awaiting the ar
rival of Mr.. Moore to sign his bond,
he told newspapermen TT was a
great thing to arrest a man who
has served his country four years
as Ambassador to Germany"
The former Ambassador was
driven here from his home at Round
Hill in his own car by State Trooper
E. P. Landers. Behind them rode
State Trooper Carlisle Johnstone,
who swore out and served the war
rant.
Mr.. Dodd said the girl ran directly
into the path of his automobile as
he was travelling about As miles an
hour. and that he applied the brakes
and swerved the car.
Thought Child Escaped.
1T was not my fault" he said
THE youngster ran into the path of
my automobile about 80 feet ahead
I put on the brakes, turned the car,
and drove on because I thought the
child had escaped"
Hospital attaches said the childs
condition was critical, last night, and
that she was suffering from a cere-
bral conclusion, a fracture of the
skull and decorations.
Mr.. Dodd served as Ambassador to
Germany from 1888 to 1887.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Jesse Jones of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
has placed the resources of his or
ganization at the disposal of groups
seeking to convert the South's soft
pine timber into paper.
Mr.. Jones said yesterday the r. F..
c. already had aided in establish
ment of paper mills in Texas and
Mississippi and that there had been
some inquiry from other sources in
the South.
He said he thought it would be "a
wonderful thing" if paper industry
could be built up in the South, be-
cause it would give the States an
opportunity to utilize millions Of
acres of second-groWth timber hav.
ing little value as lumber.
Then, too," he said, 1T would
give newspaper publishers a supply
of newsprint close to home"
At present a large percentage Of
the newsprint used in the United
States comes from Canada, although
there are a few mills in New Eng.
land and the Pacific Northwest.

20 Brightwood Pupils Broadcast
Typical Council Meeting
Social Responsibility Discussed
In Little Red School Program

No stern "schoolmarm" stands
ready to use the birch on a pupil
who might dare to suggest how
things should be done around the
schoolhouse of today.
Discussion of classroom and play
ground problems is encouraged by
the modern teacher, because edu-
Gators realize the subsequent value
to the community of permitting
youngsters to exercise their reason

Council System Explained.
Social Responsibility in a Democ-
racy" was the theme of the broad
cast, and after the "inquiring par
ent," played by Mary Crowley Ford
heard the council system explained
by Miss Elizabeth Remey, princi-
pal of the Edmonds School, the
pupils from third through sixth
grade classes demonstrated that
they were ready to assume the re-
sponsibility.
First topic to come up for con-
sideration was Christmas decora-
tions for the school.

hang wreaths at the assembly

A chubby girl declared that her

One boy suggested that policemen

snow problem. even though there

the next comment.
After discussing the dangers OF
snowballs and coasting on streets
which had not been roped off the
council heard that the first grade
had organized a safety club. A
girl with long curls said II think
that is very good idea, and I am

Sewage Link Move
Renewed by Board
In Pollution Fight
Cost of Connections
With D. G. Is Issue
In Maryland PIun

T. Howard Duckett, chairman OF
the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, today offered to renew
negotiation with officials of the
District on the cost of connecting
its lines with those of the District
to rid the Anacostia Valley of pol
luton.
Mr.. Duckett explained in letter
| to the District Commissioners that
the commission could build and
maintain its own plant for an aggre-
gate cost of $4,000 over a 17-year
period. while the cost of connecting
with District lines over the same
period would be $1,l7l 900. a diff
ference OF 1892 900, or $1,000 year.
The difference in the annual cost
| appears to be largely represented
by the carrying charges for the
capital cost of the increased facili-
ties from 1945 to 1880" Mr.. Duckett
wrote, "and if this were eliminated
it would bring the respective costs
fairly close together. If the con-
struction of the trunk line from
Benning road to Poplar Point could
be deferred until 1945 we would then
be on an even basis.
On Constructing Own Works.
"All of this indicates that unless
the District of Columbia can see its
way clear to reduce its costs to us
we had better construct our own
works and operate them indepen-
IDENTIFY. Whether or not this plan
is in the interest of the metropolitan
area as a whole only time can tell.
Mr. Duckett said the conditions
laid down by the District last month
would impose burden on us
present and future, which is beyond
our ability to carry, and is out OF
proportion to the costs of the inde-
pendent operation of our own plant
and system"
The District proposal, Mr. Duckett
said, requires the commission to
duplicate an existing 60-inch sewer
from the Benning pumping station
to Poplar Point pumping station by
the construction of a 48-inch cast
iron line costing approximately
100000.
Poplar Point Proposal.
Another District proposal, Mr.
! bucket said, was that the commits
sion pay the entire carrying cost of
the additions necessary at the Dis
trict's Poplar Point station for five
years, because the District would
have to erect the additions five years
earlier than at present anticipated,
in 1850.
The estimated cost of handling,
pumping and treating our sewage is
entirely satisfactory, and well within
the estimated cost of the operation
of plant of our own,' Mr.. Duckett
pointed out.
I'VE are entirely in accord that we
should contribute toward the cost
required by the increase capacity of
the facilities below the Poplar Point
station.
Based on the figures you gave us,
we estimate the annual carrying
charges at approximately $4,000, or
a total cost to us of $240,000 for the
fve-year period. We recognize the
equity of our carrying some part of
this cost, but the addition of this
sum for this period on the basis of
the present number of properties
served, would mean charge of ap-
proXimately S. per house for this
item alone"

police and fire departments and
school teachers, who also have their
own merit system, would be brought
under the proposed new municipal
civil service.
The Commissioners revealed today
that school authorities had raised
objection to being brought within
the proposed District civil service
system, indicating they preferred
the present arrangement.
It was reported that request had
been made that the employees of the
free Public Library of the District
and those of the District Employ
ment Compensation Commission be
included in the plan
The Federal Commission also has
objected to a provision of the pro-
posed bill which would "blanket-in''

pointed after competitive tests.

that payments for examinations
