Forgery Indictment
Attacked by Faulkner

Whiting C. Faulkner, former Mar
tlnsburg CIV. Va postmaster, who
was indicted on perjury charges in
connection with his testimony be-
fore the House Milk Investigating
Committee, yesterday filed de-
murrer in District Court claiming
the indictment is invalid.
Through Attorneys Robert E.
Lynch and William j. Hughes,
Jr, Mr.. Faulkner claimed the in
dlctment is worthless because it
fails to show his testimony during
the investigation of the local milk
situation was material to the in
quiry.
He told the court the indictment
was drawn on the theory his testi-
mony impeached the testimony of
Bruce Derrick, secretary of the
MarylandVirginia Milk Producers
Association. Faulkner is alleged to
have claimed he could influence the
Milk Subcommittee vote.
The plaintiff contended the in
dictment fails to state with GER
tainty that his testimony was un-
true, and that it is vague, indefinite
and uncertain with respect to the
date on which Faulkner is alleged
to have told Mr.. Derrick he would
influence the committees vote for
$1,000
Arguments on the demurrer are
expected to be heard in District
Court soon.

President vetoes
Bill 10 Install More
Parking Meters
Health Department
And Gasoline Refund
Measures Signed

Permanent installation of more
parking meters in the District was
postponed at least until the next
session of Congress as President
Roosevelt at Hyde Park yesterday
vetoed an authorization bill for this
purpose.
At the same time, the President
signed two other District bills, the
principal one of which will enable
the Health Department to employ
up-to-date procedures in the treat
ment of communicable disease.
The other amends the Gasoline
Tax Act to allow a 60 instead of a
30 day period within which certain
purchasers may file for refund.
In disappearing the parking meter
bill. the President said he had no
objection to the purpose of the bill,
but that the provisions relative to
the procurement of and payment for
the instruments were sufficiently
vague and ambiguous to render the
measure imperative if approved"
No Objection to Idea.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had no OBJ
lection to future legislation provided
that all money collected in the
meters went into the gasoline tax.
motor vehicle fees and highway fund
and that they were bought and in
stalled with money from this fund.
Since the parking meter measure
had the hearty support of the Com
mlssloners, it was thought likely
that efforts would be made to draw
up an acceptable measure for sub
mission at the next session. The 31O
meters now in operation in the CITY
were installed on an experimental
basis. They carry the Endorsement
not only of District officials. but also
OF a number of large civic organiza-
tions
Disease Control Act.
The Disease Control Act. Health
Officer George C. Rutland ex-
planned, is an enabling act to allow
the Commissioners to make up-to-
date regulations for the control of
communicable disease. Previously
the Department had been bound by
an old act calling for many specific
practices which are now outmoded
Periods of quarantine, for instance.
under the old act were in some cases
too long and in others too short to
conform with modern medical prac-
tice.
The amendment to the Gasoline
Tax Act was based on the feeling
OF the collector of taxes that a 30
day period was too short to allow
filing for refund by taxpayer. A
purchaser on credit, for example.
might not receive his bill until 30
days after the purchase, by which
time his right to apply for refund
would have expired. Persons af-
fected by the act, it was said, are
purchasers for motorboat or other
similar use who claim refund on
the road tax.
