America does not want war but

it does come it cannot be won

1t is true the submarine base
makes an excellent yacht basin,
but the millions spent in its con-

The boy is a redhead. about five

the child dropped off to sleep. Re-

Keech Celebrates
New Appointment
Working al Desk
Corporation Counsel,
Appointed Yesterday,
Is Busy Man

The line formed on the right to-
day to get in and see Richmond
Keech, the fox-hunting public utili-
ties commissioner whom the District
Commissioners yesterday named
corporation counsel
Mr. Keech celebrated the appoint
ment yesterday with an all-day
hearing on one-man street cars and
Immediately went into a hearing
this morning on the inadequacies of
transportation in the southeast area.
Caught between telephone calls,
other congratulators in person, an
interview with a natural gas expert,
and the hearing, the new corpora
ton counsel pulled on his cigar,
looked out of his first-f1oor window
onto Pennsylvania avenue and ad-
mitted that about his only hobby
was fox-hunting.
Rides Once a Week.
He said he tries to get out with
the hounds about once a week, on
Saturday afternoon, and occasional
ly on other holidays, but admitted
with some envy that the other boys
in the Potomac Hunt Club ride the
ranges of Montgomery County more
often.
Next to his work and fox hunt
ing, Mr.. Keech probably is most
interested in his little made-over
barn near Travillah, Md, to which
he retires whenever he can on week
ends. His love of Greenbriar is
probably born of the pain and agony
he suffered in helping to make over
the place, when he caught all kinds
of poison ivy, brambles and thorns
on his legal person.
The new corporation counsel,
| who will have third-foor view of
Fourteenth street and parking lot
in rear of the District Building to
replace his hrst-floor view of the
Avenue, has represented the District
as a member of the corporation
counsel's staff before every tribunal
here. That means Juvenile Court
! Police Court, Municipal Court, the
United States District Court, the
Court of Appeals and the United
States Supreme Court.
| While riding to the hounds is his
athletics of the present, he can re-
member when he was an all-high
fullback for Business High School
now Roosevelt High School. He also
played basket ball and baseball.
Ex-OficiaI of Rar Croun
A former official of the District
Bar Association and director of the
Barristers Club, he is also a member
of the American Legion. He lives
with his mother and father at 2746

| counsel before the Utilities Commits
| sion before his appointment to that
body by President Roosevelt in 1884,
is sorry to leave the utilities field,
however. He Is particularly glad of
having participated in a modification
of the sliding scale arrangement
under which courts held the COM
mission could compel the power
utility to change rates without con-
sent of the utility, participation in
the valuation of the gas company
and return of $1,000 900 from the

School Officials Rule
On Non-Residents

The new Calvin Coolidge High
School which opens for the first time
September %, will include among
Its enrollees non resident pupils from
the Takoma Park-Silver Spring
area.
School officials added that non
residents from Virginia will attend
Central or Western High School, but
that outsiders in Woodrow Wilson
High School will be limited to the
Bethesda Chevy Chase area.
New nonresident pupils living in
Maryland who would ordinarily go
to Taft Junior High School, it was
said, will be admitted at Langley
Junior High, and those who would
ordinarily attend Anacostia Junior
Senior High will attend Eliot or
Hine at the junior high school level
and Eastern if senior high students.
Because of crowded conditions no
new residents will be admitted to
Deal Junior High or the seventh
grade at Paul Junior High, it was
said. Those who would ordinarily
go to Deal can be accommodated at
Gordon or Mcfarland Junior Highs
and those who would go to Paul's
seventh grade can be enrolled in
Mcfarland or Powell Junior Highs.
1t was pointed out, however, that
pupils already enrolled in Paul would
be permitted to attend there.
School officials added that nom
resident pupils in the elementary
grades should apply to the supervis-
ing principal responsible for the
schools in the section of the city
nearest their approach to the city.
