LURAY'S MAYOR
ITO ASK PWA FOR.
SEWAGE PLANT.
Fears Action by State
Health Department

Mayor A. L. Boliek Of Luray,
Va, fears that unless his town acts
IN the near future on the constuc-
ton of a sewage disposal plant
~the State Health Department will
get after U.S."
He agreed to present at the next
meeting of the city council a pro-
posal to apply for a PWA loan
and grant with which to construct
the plant. Although the council
does not meet until the first week
IN September, he said he would
call a special session If investiga-
tions showed that earlier action
was necessary to get in the PWA
application before the September
30 deadline.
MUST ACT SOON
II would be glad to get some
Ghing on foot before the 30th
comes around" he said. I'VE have
to do something pretty soon, or
the State Health Department will
get after u.s."
Hawksbill Greek carries Luray's
sewage into the south fork of the
Shenandoah River. Above Luray
on the south forks headwaters
lies Staunton, one of the Shenan-
doah Valleys largest centers,
which recently obtained a $109, 900
PWA grant to construct q sewage
disposal plant. Down the valley
from these points, Front Royal has
obtained a PWA grant of $24,750
for construction of a sewage-dis-
posal plant.
HAZEN WANTS CONFERENCE
While Virginia, West Virginia,
and Maryland towns considered
steps to cease dumping sewage
into the upper Potomac tribu-
taEieS, Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen, of the District of Columbia,
said he would discuss with other
Commissioners the possibility of
calling a conference with officials
of nearby communities to discuss
construction Of disposal plants on
the Anacostia River and in Afex-
0ndria.
Representative David J. Lewis.
candidate for the Maryland Demo
cratic senatorial nomination, ex-
pressed the hope every town along
the Potomac would take advan-
tage of the opportunity to obtain
PWA loans and grants to clean
up the river.

added as an afterthought
There you CO." interjected the

about French marriage laws2"
Not yet" replied Tracy happily,
but I'll find out tomorrow and have
my plans all made I intend to be
married at once and take Yvonne back
on the same transport with the other
war brides"
"I1l give odds you won't" said the
sergeant major. They're very strict
about providing transportation for war
brides, and know that the order au-
thorizing it only provides for the
wives of non-commissioned officers"
Wei, I'm a non-commissioned Of
ficer," laughed Tracy. you can't
deny that I'm sergeant in the

prophesied the sergeant major. You'll
be buck private in the hoosegow. If
you get caught down here In Brest
with a forged pass and wearing a fake
insignia, how long do you think your
stripes will last? If you amt back in
camp for roll call. how long will it be
before the old man starts looking for
you? When he gets yuh. he'll toss yuh
in the clink-and God help me, he
may toss me In too"
"Oh, Sarge. maybe it's not so bad
as you think" persisted the younger
man. Maybe neither Of us will lose
our stripes"
Don't kid yourself, son." rejoined
the sergeant major. 1.-THE only differ
ence will be in the speed with which

The firmness Of the old mans con-

There came a quick Jolt and the

snapped, Come on, get going. What

a rattle Of chains and the men In the
truck surged toward the rear.
Tracy was half way to the exit drawn
along by the rush when he felt a hand
upon his arm. It was the Sergeant
Major dragging him back.
The old man pulled him down upon
the bench which served as a seat and
tuggegd at him frantically. Suddenly
Tracy got the idea. He dived beneath
the seat and the Sergeant Major did
likewise For one desperate half min
ute. Tracy held his breath. Nobody
looked back
Tracy heard the clank Of machinery

that the sergeant major at the post
headquarters took care of himself Just
like a good sergeant major always
does. When he typed out that order
he stuck in a paragraph authorizing
regimental sergeant majors to have
passes to visit Brest whenever they
asked for them.
"He told me he had quite an argu-
ment with the adjutant about it, and
the adjutant finally limited them pass

stripers can get down to Brest, pro-
vided we come back at six. I've been

Disbarred Lawyer Loses
kirmish in DAMAGE Suit
ToDAY'S PROGRAM

Edmond c. Fletcher, former men,
ber of the District Bar, today lost
a point in the 100000 damage
suit he filed against officials of the
Court of Claims, the United States
District Court and its Committee on
Grievances, as the result of his dis
barment. The United States Court
of Appeals in reversing a District
Court decision, denied his challenge
of the right of Government counsel
to appear for other Federal officers.
Mr.. Fletcher declared his suit was
brought against the defendants in
their individual capacities and the
subject matter did not concern the
Government. The appeals tribunal
said "the record reveals on it's face
the incorrectness of this conten-
ton"
Mr.. Fletcher's suit named among
others Chief Justice Booth of the
Court of Claims and Justices Will
liams, Whaley, Green and Little
ton, and Chief Justice Wheat and
Justice Adkins of District Court.
