Two Couples Wed
Despite New Law
In Alexandria
Contagious Disease
Act Goes Into
Effect in City
BIZ. staff Correspondent of The Star.

b. staff Correspondent of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA,, Va, Aug. 11.-De-
spite new law requiring physicians
certificates certifying marriage Ii
cense applicants freedom from con-
tagious diseases, two couples were
married here shortly after noon
today.
The new law became effective to-
day and requires that applicants
certify their freedom from contagious
diseases in a communicable stage be-
fore obtaining licenses.
The first marriage of a Pennsyl-
vania couple was routine insofar as
procedure in Alexandria was con-
cerned. The couple did not present
the court clerks office with health
certificate but were issued a license
and were married few doors away
at the office of Herman Friedlander,
civil marriage officer.
A second couple, from New York
City, obtained a license shortly
thereafter.
Elliott F. Hoffman, clerk of the
court, stated that he has not been
requested by the city health officer
to notify applicants for marriage
licenses Of the new ordinance. DR..
w. Lewis Shafer. health officer is
out of town and will not return
until Monday
City officials expressed the belief
that responsibility for meeting the
provisions of the ordinance lies with
applicants rather than with the
court clerk or marrying officials.
Mr.. Hoffman said his Office would
continue to issue licenses in the
usual manner and that, according
to an act of the Legislature passed
more than 20 years ago, the ap-
pllCants for licenses are required to
take oath that both parties are free
OF any contagious venereal disease:
that neither is an habitual criminal,
idiot, lmbecile. hereditary epileptic
or insane person. The affidavit re-
ferred to is printed on each license
application and is permanently filed
with the document.
City Attorney ArmiStead Boothe
declared that all couples married
here on or after today are subject
to the requirements of the ordinance
despite the fact the court clerk has
not been requested to notify ap-
pAcants OF its provisions.
In a recent letter to city officials
the State attorney general declared
the legality Of the ordinance
"doubtful' unless the citys charter
gave the council police powers to
regulate marriages. Proponents of
the ordlance, however, believe that
the city has this power.

the north end of the jetty. He
asked me to step into the water and
see if it was deep.

jetty into the water and waded out
a little. Ny husband stood on the
Jetty ready to Jump. Suddenly

operated here

dences as Thurmont, Nd. The IL

HEMET, Calf, Aug. 11.-That
eerie wall in the dead of the night
it's been keeping residents for miles
around awake since August 8
turns out to be nothing but prod
uct of the machine age.
The piercing whistle-moan came
from high-speed fans in blowers of
orchard-dusting devices operated
only at night, when the air is
calmest, on two walnut ranches
many miles apart.
Men who drove for miles through
the San Jacinto Valley and even into
neighboring mountains, hunting the
weird sounds source, were foiled by
the fact the blowers, almost silent
close at hand, are heard loudest
miles away.

Congress Act on

Is Undecided on
Just What Move
Should Be Token

Something should be done" about
the voteless residents of the District
OF Columbia, Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt says in her question-and-
answer column this month in the
Democratic Digest.
Asked by Washington woman II
she felt the citizens of the District
Should enjoy the right of franchise
as do the citizens of the States"
Mrs. Roosevelt replied:
Il find it very hard to decide
whether our ancestors who set up
the District of Columbia and decreed
that its residents, because they were
to be workers in the Federal Gov
ernment, should not vote. were really
wrong in their conception or not
Il know that, as conditions are to-
day, the result is bad. but whether
the needed change is restriction Of
the District to d smaller area which
would cover only Government build
ings and which would make the
voters residents of either Virginia
or Maryland, or the granting of the
vote to residents in the District I
do not know. That something should
be done is fairly obvious, but I think
Congress should hold an open hear
ing and bring every side before the
public
Mrs. Roosevelt warned in another
reply against creation of "a family
bureaucracy in government"
She said she thought "a good
case" might be made against en-
ploying more than one member of
family in State, local or Federal
governments when the salary re-
ceived by one employe provides an
adequate standard of living.
But she said she did not think
married women should be singled
out, any more than men, young
people or any specific group, in linn.
ltlng such employment.
