Richie Highway
Building Regulated
By Commissioners
Rule Roadside Stands
Must Be so Feet From
Right Of Way
BY the Associated Press.

DS lNe ASSOClaleu IGeS6.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 23.-Anne
Arundel County commissioners
cracked down against prospective
commercialization of the new
Ritchie Highway yesterday with a
sweeping extension of building regu-
lations to give them wide control
over development of the rights-of-
way.
BY new amendments to the build
ing code. adopted to further public
safety. health and welfare" the
commissioners proclaimed the right
to regulate:
The location, use and structural
design of all roadside stands pro-
posed along a dual highway.
The construction of gasoline, oil or
other filling stations, public garages,
tourist cabins. inns, restaurants or
dance halls on any highway.
Further, the commissioners ruled
that all roadside stands already
constructed would have to be moved
so feet from the dual highway. Any
new ones, which must first be ap-
proved, must be so feet back.
All private garages built hereafter
on private property facing a dual
highway must observe the 50-foot
rule, the commissioners announced,
and oil, gasoline and other tanks
containing inf1ammable fluid must
be 1000 feet from the right of way
of any public highway.
Only by permit from the COM
mission will construction of tourist
camps, dance floors, dog kennels,
stables. chicken houses or barns be
allowed along the dual highway
right-of-way.
Beer gardens and taverns must be
set 200 feet from the right-of way
along a dual highway. And junked,
wrecked or secondhand automo-
biles must not be stored nor kept
for sale closer than 1000 feet to the
dual highway.
The regulations were adopted at
the suggestion of grand jury,
which acted at Judge Ridgeley P.
Melvin's direction. Gov. O'Conor
also has urged new regulations to
prevent the new highway from
becoming a second washington
boulevard" cluttered from Balti-
more to the Nations Capital with
hotdog stands, tourist camps, ken
nels and other commercial estab-
lishments.
Property owners, too, have joined
the move to preserve the new high
ways beauty.

Victim Of Paralysis
Rallies After Iron
Lung Is Secured
Father of Two Children,
Once Near Death, Plans
To Eat Turkey Today

William Cook has more reason
than most people for counting his
blessings today. He's going to live.
Just a week ago last Tuesday the
28-year-old bus driver and father of
two children came to Gallinger Hos
pital suffering from a backache,
headache and fever. His legs grew
shaky and the strength was rapidly
ebbing from his arms.
There wasn't much doubt in the
mind of DR.. Cecil E. Miller as he ex-
amined his patient. Infantile pa
ralysis-in its progressive stages.
The next morning the dreaded di-
sease had spread to Mr.. Cook S
lungs. Breathing came hard. and
the young man knew that he had a
pretty stiff fight on his hands.
Something had to be done-and
done quickly. The sole iron lung
at the hospital was being used by
12-year-old William Taylor in the
next room. DR.. Miller told Mr.. Cook
how his youthful nevtdoor neigh
Dor had spent almost three months
in the life-giving machine. The bus
driver was impressed-even though
the shadows of unconsciousness
hovered near-and he was deter
mined to stay alive until another
lung could be found.
Meanwhile, DR.. Edgar A. Bocock,
the hospitals superintendent, i'm
pressed with the young mans grit,
had taken hand. He, too, knew
it was only a matter of hours now.
After hunting throughout the city,
DR.. Bocock finally found the needed
iron lung through the Navy Depart
ment and rushed it to the hospital.
Mr.. Cook was placed in the ma
chine. The fever dropped down to
normal and the young man i'm
proved to point where DR.. Bocock
feels his chances are excellent"
Today Mr.. Cook, still in the iron
lung, planned to have turkey and
cranberry sauce. 1t was a real day
for Thanksgiving.

Bar Backs Probe
OF Collection Practices

Support of the inquiry which the
District Bar Association has launched
into questionable sales and collection
practices of certain credit and in
stallment houses was expressed in
letter, made public today, from
Harry S. Wender, first vice president
and chairman of the Law and Legis-
latlve Committee of the Federation
OF Citizens Associations, to Seton
Darr, president of the Bar Associa-
ton.
The repossession racket" is a
matter that deserves particular at
tention," Mr.. Wender said, "and is
one which is now under investigation
by a committee of the American
Automobile Association in this CITY,"
Mr.. Wender added: "A vicious
practice of certain finance COM
panies which has recently been
called to my attention has to do
with the 'kiting' of promissory notes
whereby the purchasers original
contract is transferred from one
agency to another, so that it is i'm
possible for him to know where or
when he is to pay the installments
on his Indebtedness. Nevertheless,
his failure to pay an installment
when 1t is due brings about the
immediate 'snatching of his car,
which is not returned to him until
he has paid the necessary ransom
q fy4o
repossession and storage fees, etc. y
Pointing out that the Federation
OF Citizens Associations long has
been interested in stopping such
practices, Mr.. Wender offered the
cooperation Of its Committee on
Law and Legislation to the special
inquiry committee of the Bar Asso-
citation, headed by George D.
Horning.

Agriculture Aides
Hope 10 End Milk
Hearings Tomorrow
Doiries' Attorney Urges
Lower Rate to Farmers
So as to Cut Retail Price

Agriculture Department officials
hoped today that the hearings on
the proposed milk marketing agree
ment and order for the Washington
milkshed would be concluded to-
morrow.
Long debate between farmers and
j. Edward Burroughs, jr., attorney
for the 10 dairies supplying the city
and speech by Representative
Schultz, Democrat, of Indiana so
prolonged the hearings yesterday
that they could not be completed as
scheduled. They resume at $50 m
tomorrow in the Agriculture De-
partment Auditorium.
Mr.. Burroughs devoted the day
to reading brief supporting the
dairies' contention that much
lower minimum price schedule
should be put into effect than the
farmers in the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Producers Association pro-
pose. He urged the lower pay to
the farmers, he said. because the
dairies wished to cut the retail
price of milk in Washington by
cent a quart.
David Montgomery, consumers
counsel OF the A. A. A.. observed
to Mr.. Burroughs that the Sheffield
Farms Dairy in New York City has
reduced the milk price by cents
for two quarts through improvements
in distribution methods without
cutting the farmer price. One of
the chief features of Sheffield op-
Grafton, Mr. Montgomery said, is
the sale of milk in 2-quart bottles.
Mr.. Schultz, member of the
District Committee, condemned the
proposed order. which would make
the Federal Government the over
seer of minimum price scales gov
erning the dairies' milk purchases
from farmers. He said he cared
only for the consumer, who, in his
mind, should get milk at II cents a
quart, retail. He had no interest,
he said, in the producers or the
diaries. He was the author of a
bill in Congress last summer which
would have opened up the Wash
ington market to the producers in
Mr.. Schulte's Middle Western dis
trict.
The dairies for whom Mr.. Bur-
roughs appeared are the Arlington
County, Chestnut Farms Chevy
Chase, Embassy-Fairfa Harveys,
Highland Farms, Holbrook Farms,
Model Farms, Richield, thompson S
and Wakefield.

an hour, in addition to the contract

7O4YeorsNeeded
To Pay for New
State Building
BY the Associated Press

=
BALTIMORE, Nov. 23.-The way
armchair statisticians figured it out
today, Maryland's new State Office
Building won't begin to pay for it
self until along about 2044 AID.
A survey showed the rent-saving
plans involved when II State de-
partments were ordered to quarters
in the structure at Annapolis went
aWry somewhere.
They were paying $4,000 yearly
in rent. Because maintenance of
the Office building will cost about
$4,000 annually, the net saving will
run about $4,000.
If that much were set aside by
the State each year, it would take
about 1O4 years to pay off the
81 ,038 900 cost of the Office build
ing. Nor do the figures include de-
probation on the property.
Members of the Legislature which
approved erection of the building
had figured on savings of $lO0, 900
annually in rents.

AZ Pct. Of Utility Stocks
Behind in Dividends
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A survey showed "A per cent of
the preferred stock of utility hold
ing companies and their operating
subsidiaries held by the public be-
hind in dividends, according to the
public utilities division of the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission.
The arrears amounted to s372,-
487 Ala at the end of 1888, the di-
vision said, on stock held by 595 ,697
investors.
1t recommended that at least 20
utility holding companies with as
sets aggregating s6,5OO,OOOOOO be
recapitalized. The financial recon-
struction of utilities with unsound
capital was zone of the most press
Ing problems" facing it, the division
said.
There are number of operat-
Ing companies and some hold
ing companies which undoubtedly
should be able to clear up their ar
rearages without recapitalization, Z"
the report said. However, there are
some operating companies and, to
a greater extent, holding compan-
les where the arrearages are so
great in relation to earnings avail
able for preferred stock dividends
that recapitalization is inevitable. :"
