Gypsy SMITH TO
HOLD MEETINGS
in BALTIMORE

Gipsy Smith the World Renowned
Evangelist, of Cambridge, England, is
now conducting his third Campaign in
Baltimore, Maryland. He first came
to the Monumental City in 1908 when
a most successful meeting was held IN
the Lyric. Last year he came to Bal
timore under the auspices of a joint
committee of clergymen and laymen.
More than one hundred thousand peo-
ple attended the services within two
weeks and over eleven thousand de-
cision cards were signed.
The Campaign this year is being
held again in the massive Fifth Regl-
ment Armory, under the auspices OF
the Baltimore Evangelistic Associa-
ton. Accompanying Gypsy Smith this
year is his young bride who was Miss
Mary Alice Shaw of Hollywood, Cali
fornia, until their recent marriage.
Rev. DR.. Kingman A. Handy, for
merly of Pocomoke City, a Baptist
Clergyman is Chairman of the Cam
paign Committee this year. The song
leader is Mr.. Samuel Gressitt, well
known in Baltimore music circles.
Rev. Raymond w. Cooke, Executive
Secretary of the Associated Big Broth
ers and Big Sisters of Maryland, Inc,
is again Secretary of the local COM
mittee and handles the announce
ments.
Mr. Irving H. Merger, candidate for
Congress, is Chairman of the Finance
Committee and J. Marshall Stewart,
President of the Pimlico Merchants
Association, is chairman of the Com
mittee on Ushers and Entertainment
Monday meetings are being held
each week day except Saturday in the
Mt. Vernon Place Methodist Church
A feature of these noon meetings is
that a Baltimore Clergyman divides
the time with Gypsy Smith. These
meetings last for only forty minutes.
A great young peoples rally will be
held on Saturday night, October 9Th,
when Gypsy Smith will speak especial
ly to them. On Sundays two meet
ing services begin promptly at seven
one at seven-thirty. All of the even
ling services begin promptly at seven
thirty. Saturday nights is usually the
rest night for the Gypsy and he is
making an exception this week for
the young peoples services. Conse-
quently he will use Monday and Satur-
day nights of the second wek for his
rest. On Thursday night, October the
18th he will tell the dramatic story
of "Three and one-half years with the
Boys in France" On Friday night,
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-10-07

October 18th, he will tell his life story
known as "From Gypsy Tent to Pull
pit"
Although Gypsy Smith is 78 years
of age he has the vigor and enthus-
iasm of a man not much more than
half that old. His singing voice is as
clear and strong as it was thirty
years ago. Special amplification at
the Armory makes it possible for
every person in the vast auditorium
to hear distinctly. Requests for spec
ial reservations for groups of twenty
five or more should be addressed to
the Baltimore Evangelistical Asso-
citation, 416 Garrett Building, Balti-
more. 4

When Mr.. Davis was informed his
namesake may be a female, he turned
the issue aside with question, After
all. who will know the difference?"
It will be several days, Mr.. Davis
believes, before his namesake comes
up for air. DR.. William M. Mann,
director Of the Zoo. says Mama Pen

HEARING IS SOUGHT
ON GAS FIRMS BID
$1,225,000 Offer Is Third
for the HyattsviI|e and
Alexandria Units.

The Washington Gaslight Co. today
asked the Public Utilities Commits
sion to hold a public hearing on its
petition to acquire the Hyattsville
and Alexandria Gas Cos. at a pur-
chase price of approximately $1,225,-
600.
Richmond B. Keech. vice chairman
OF the commission, announced the
firms request will be considered by
the commission either at its meeting
today or on Thursday.
The petition has been pending be-
fore the commission since January
1t is the third bid by the local firm
to buy the Alexandria and Hyatts-
vile companies The Washington
Gaslight Co. made its first attempt to
purchase the plants in September.
1886, at price of sl,375 900, but the
Public Utilities Commission refused
to sanction the purchase at this price.
The second petition set forth a
purchase price of sl.275 900, but this
was withdrawn before the commits
sion took action on the case.
At the time the third petition was
filed in January, the Washington g.
Suburban Co.'S, the common law trust
which controls all three of the operat-
ing concerns. asked the Securities and
Exchange Commission to sanction the
purchase of the Alexandria and Hy-
attsville firms by the Washington
Gaslight Co.
This move was described as the
first step in plan to comply with
the death sentence clause of the
Public Utilities Holding Act.

NEW z0N|NG BILL
PROVISION HIT AS
HEARINGS START
Non- Conforming Use Clause
Would Work Hardships,
Senate Is Told.
ELIMINATION POWER
RESTRICTION is URGED
Exemption of Businesses Begun
Prior to 1920 Is Proposal
Suggested by Frazer.

Opposition to a proposal to en-
inmate non conforming uses developed
today as Senate subcommittee began
hearings on the new zoning bill
The provision with reference to non-
conforming uses is virtually without
precedent. such power having been
granted zoning authorities in only one
State, Louisiana. 1t was upheld in
the State courts there.
Under the existing coming law, the
Zoning Commission has no authority
10 eliminate a non-conforming use
when it rezones particular district.
Sees Business Bust.
George B. Fraser. representing the
Chevy Chase Citizens Association.
said he thought the provision might
work a hardship on commercial es-
Establishments in areas that might be
rezoned as residential. AS an alterna-
tive, he proposed that nom conforming
uses existing prior to 1920, enactment
Of the present zoing laws, be exempted
from the provision in the proposed
new bill
The proposal also was opposed by
Miss Elizabeth Gross, who said it
might adversely affect numerous busi-
nesses established in the past. A
number of other witnesses were pres
ent to testify in opposition to the
provision.
Adjustment Board.
Another important section of the
new bill provides for the creation of
a board of zoning adjustment, to be
composed of one member from the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, one appointee from the
Soning Commission and three other
members, bona flde residents of WASH
ington, to be designated by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
This board, according to Assistant
Corporation Counsel Vernon E. West,
would have authority to issue permits
not in strict compliance with the zon-
ing regulations in cases where an un-
usual hardship would be worked by
a denial of the permit The Board of
Adjustments. however would have
authority to act only pursuant to gen.
.eral regulations of the zoning Com
mission.
Another section of the bill estab-
fishes zoning advisory council. Such
council already is in existence, but
lacks the legal sanction provided in
the new bill
Senator Overton, Democrat. of
Louisiana, is chairman of the subcom-
mittee holding the hearings.

BOXING BILL GAINS
SUPPORT |NHOUSE
WIthroW and Harrington
Indorse Intercollegiate
Measure for D. C.

Two House members-Represent
tives Withrow. Progressive, of Wiscon-
sin. and Harrington. Democrat, of
1owa-joined athletic directors of
various colleges and universities today
in support of bill to divorce amateur
intercollegiate boxing in the District
from control of the District Boxing
Commission.
The hearing on the bill. sponsored
by Representative Randolph. Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, was held be-
fore the Judiciary Subcommittee of
the House District Committee.
Mr.. WithroW told the subcommittee
it was never the intent of Congress
to place amatur boxing under control
Of the commission. The purpose of
the boxing legislation" he declared.
was to allow the people of the Dis
trict to attend professional boxing
bouts without going into the basement
OF an old brewery outside the city,
where ventilation was bad"
Bad Precedent, He Says.
He also said that the placing of
amateur boxing under control of the
commission established a bad prece-
dent, which, he declared. is liable to
extend to intercollegiate baseball and
football
Mr.. Harrington, former athletic
director at the University of Portland,
in Portland. Oreg.. testified there is no
reason to place intercollegiate boxing
under the dictatorship of commits
sion. Colleges all over the country"
he declared. have shown they are
capable of handling the situation"
AL. Dutch) Bergman, athletic di-
rector at Catholic University, led sup
porters of the bill. He read excerpts of
letters from g. number of college ath-
letic directors opposing outside inter-
ference with intercollegiate sports and
pointed out that intercollegiate boxing
in every State of the Union is now free
Of State control.
DR.. Moran Testifies.
DR.. Robert E. Moran. physical ex-
aminer at Catholic University, also tes-
titled in favor of the bill
Opposition was led by Maj Ernest
w. Brown, superintendent of police,
who also IS chairman of the District
Boxing Commission. He said the COM
mission feels the best interests of box
ing in the District will be served if it
retains supervision over intercollegiate
matches:
Maj. Browns views were shared by
the Board of District Commissioners
