Two Women Rob
Motorisf Of $50

Two colored women. one brand
ishing a razor, robbed William
Bickerdyke. Mount Rainier, Md. of
$50 when he stopped his automobile
at Rhode Island avenue and Eighth
street NV. early today.
Mr.. Bickerdyke told police the
women escaped In a taXicab wait
ing nearby.
Another robbery was reported by
Representative Joe Hepdricks of
Florida, who told officers a set of
silverware, valued at approximately
$40, was stolen from his quarters
in the House Of1ce Building.
The attempted robbery of a clerk
at a coal yard in the 300 block of
p street NV. was interrupted late
yesterday by an unidentified Gus
toner. Miss Clara Denegri, 16 K
street NV. told police two colored
men, one armed with a revolver,
entered the back door of the office
and demanded money. but fled when
q customer came in the front door.
Meanwhile, Thomas Crawford,
Capital Transit bus driver, identi-
fed one of the IA colored men ar
rested in pickup squad raids yes
terday as one of the three bandits
who robbed him Saturday night.
Inspector Bernard w. Thompson,
chief Of detectives, said 10 men,
still being held after the raids, will
be placed in a lineup at head
quarters tomorrow night. Fifty re-
cent holdup victims have been asked
to appear at the lineup, he said.

ance next month.
Many Of the Geneva students
homes are at nearby Aliquippa and
Ambridge, valley steel towns where
G. TO. unions are heavily supported,
and at Beaver Falls, where G. I. O.
and A. F. L. unions have clashed in
plants, before the Labor Board and
in the courts over bargaining rights.
DR.. Pearce said yesterday in an
nouncing the "postponement"::
If Miss Perkins were not particu-
larly identified with a labor move
ment we would have been very glad
to have had her. She is a very bril-
liant woman and identified with
social work outside Of her duties as
Labor Secretary"
In a letter to Maxine Rhodes,
chairman of arrangements for the
famous women night, Miss Perkins
said she would be willing to omit
entirely or postpone the visit here,
and that certainly the college ought
to take no part in any labor con-
troversy."
The Labor Secretary's letter, pub
lished yesterday in the campus news
paper, added:
1T may interest you to know that
one Of my specialties is relieving
tension due to the fact that labor
problems have arisen In an indus
trial cOmmunitv T hold rrettv mod.

I have an opportunity to discuss
them I ind that I generally allay
suspicion and even modify Ill will

A substitute speaker has not been
chosen. Among those who have ap-
peared at the famous womens night
were the late Amelia Earhart and
Mrs. Martin johnson, the explorer.

Der Of aliens deported is on the in
crease; the Nations immigration
quotas have never been filed"
The New Yorker asserted that
Secretary Perkins and the Labor
Department could boast Of q fine
record in connection with alien de-
portations. He said deportations
have averaged more than 5000 an
nually In the last five years.
The Dies Committee criticized
Secretary Perkins for not deporting
Harry Bridges, West Coast G. I. o.
maritime leader, and others it char
acterized as aliens.
Representative Dickstein said he
was mot in sympathy with Bridges
and as far as I'm concerned, he can
leave the country now," but ex-
pressed the opinion the Labor De-
partment was right in suspending
the Bridges proceedings until the
Supreme Court decides q case in
volving similar issues.
He went on to say that after study
ing the work Of the Dies Commit
tee, he had not found sufficient evi-
dence to justify its conclusions.

Ezra B. Whitman To
Take Office Monday
As Roads Chairman
Road Planning Held Most
Important; Changed Con-
ditiOns Noted

Ezra B. Whitman, engineer and
former chairman of the Public Serv-
ice Commission, takes office Monday
as chairman of the State Roads
Commission.
While Mr.. Whitman's associates
on the Roads Commission have not
been announced as yet by Governor
O9Conor, the new set-up providing
for representation both from the
Eastern Shore and from Western
MARYLAND, assures that every section
Of the State will receive impartial
consideration in the expenditure of
the greatly increased sums that will
be available for the maintenance,
Improvement and extension of the
States roads during the coming four
wears. Particularly will this assur-
ance be welcomed on the Eastern
Shore, which has not had represen-
tation on the Roads body in recent
years. and where road building and
maintenance is alleged to have suf-
fered greatly as result.
Road building has come to be in
finitely more than laying a concrete
base and topping it off with one or
other approved surfacing. Intelli-
gent road building today must plan
intelligently for the future, must
provide for the needs of ten and
twenty years from now, and there
fore must be planned with an eye
to future traffic and population
trends. The unsatisfactory condition
of the present Baltimore Washing
ton Boulevard is cited as a striking
example of failure to anticipate
future needs. Many thousands Of
dollars were spent on it within recent
years, only to result in an unsatis-
factory situation that apparently
cannot be remedied now. The only
way out, it is alleged, is for the
State to build another dual-lane
highway between these two most i'm
portant cities.
In the matter of roadside beauti-
fication, too, road planning takes on
"a entirely different complexion.
Wider right-of-ways must be secured,
at much greater cost, of course.
Landscaping of roads has come to
be most important. The matter of
drainage, and erosion, already is CIV
ing roads authorities much concern
along the new dual highways of the
state.

Democratic Spokesman
Cites Reasons For
Spending Money

Interviews from James D. King,
president of the county Farm Bureau,
have appeared in the daily papers
lately in which President King at
tacks spending county bond issue
funds in particular and the Democrat
ic county commissioners in general.
Tuesday Mr.. King went to Annapo-
lies and appealed to Governor O'Conor
to veto the pending bond issue bill and
also the bill repeating the referendum
en- county bond issues as enacted by
the 1887 session of the Maryland Gen.
eral Assembly. We think a great deal
Of Mr.. Kings agitation is unjustified
by the facts.
Only one $4,000 bond issue, which
is intended to improve the Poolesville-
Whites Ferry road, was authorized
by the 1889 session of the Legislature
against the upper or agricultural dis
tricts of the county and consequently
that would appear to be the only item
that the Farm Bureau would be inter-
ested in.
Generally speaking, the argument
in favor of the bond issue is that num-
erous other main highways through
out the agricultural section of the
county were built with the proceeds of
county bond issues and the road from
Poolesville to Whites Ferry is en-
titled to the same kind of treatment
If this section of road is to await
gasoline tax funds for its construction
it cannot be built before next year,
even if the county commissioner are
willing to vote substantial par Of
next years gas tax collections to
build this Poo!esville Whites eFrry
highway. @
