Meter Arrests Fail
To Bring Contempt
for Police
Alexandra Judge
Dismisses Parking
Defendants, However

BY a Staff Correspondent Of The Star
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Jan. g.
Theats to hold Alexandra policemen
in contempt of court if they con-
tinued to enforce the parking meter
ordinance on the north side of King
street after Saturday failed to ma
terialize today when Judge James
R. Duncan of the Police Court dis
missed overtime parking charges
against five motorists who we're
ticketed on that side of the street.
Judge Duncan warned Corpl. Wes-
ley Shoots Saturday that he would
hold police in contempt of court
If they arrested motorists in that
locality because of alleged defects
in the parking meters there Corpl.
Shoots and Pvt. Claude Macdonald
brought in five more cases this
morning and court was delayed more
than a half-hour while Judge Dun
can and members of the City Council
conferred.
1oOuo I'LL CO NCChS dSO OuuSt Dull-
can issued a statement declaring he
would cease convicting persons
charged with violating the parking
meter ordinance on the north side
of King street because the devices
failed to register properly when
coins were deposited.
He declared he has received nu-
merous complaints from motorists
concerning the meters, which are a
different make from those installed
on the south side of the street.
Following Judge Duncan's an
nouncement three weeks ago, police
said they would continue enforcing
the ordinance as long as it was law
and City Manager Carl Budwesky
instructed the police to continue ar
rests irrespective of the locations of
the meters. Charges against about
20 motorists had been dismissed be-
fore today.
In dismissing the five charges to-
day, Judge Duncan made no COM
ment from the bench. Meanwhile,
police said they will continue to
enforce the ordinance.

Henri Bergson, 1923
Nobel Prize Winner,
Dies al Age of81
Famed French Philosopher
III for Many Years;
Resigned College Post
3, the Associated Press.

e, the Associated Press.
VICHY, France, Jan. 6.-The
death of Henri Bergson, famous
French philosopher, author and
Nobel prize winner, was announced
here yesterday.
He died Saturday in German-oc-
cupied Paris of pulmonary congeS-
ton. He was 81 years old.
M. Bergson had been in almost
complete obscurity for many years
because of i'll health, but only last
month he figured in the public eye
anew as the first Jew offered ex-
emption from a law forbidding Jews
from holding educational posts In
France.
Great Intellectual Figure.
He refused the offer and resigned
as honorary professor of the College
de France where, during an lmpor-
tant part of his active career, he
had been professor Of philosophy
from 1900 to 1921.
M. Bergson was one of the great
intellectual figures of his time and
his philosophy brought new hope
to those who saw humanity dragged
down by material things.
The thin, frail little philosopher
who battled the monster OF ma
terialism in a crowded Paris class
room, tried to refute the thesis that
mind is the key to all the universe.
He brought intuition back into fash
ion and put it in charge Of all that
man has most cherished since the
dawn of time-the belief in God
and an after-life.
M. BergSon was no attic philosopher
Gifted with a strong personality and
the power to put his theories into
melodiouS prose, he made his phi
losophy a popular topic Of the first
decade of the goth century.
Won Many Prizes.
Born in Paris, of Anglo-JeWlSh
parents. on October 18. 1859, he re-
ceived his primary and university
education in the French capital. In
his classes he won nearly every
prize offered, and at % he became
a professor of philosophy.
BY 1907, M. Bergson already had
taken his place among the worlds
intellectual leaders. Three books,
The Immediate Data of Conscious
ness" Matter and Memory" and
Creative Evolution" had much to
do with assuring his fame.
The philosophers prominence
reached its greatest heights in 1914.
In that year he was elected to the
French Academy. In that year also
certain of his works were placed on
the Index Expurgatorious by the
Pope
In 1928, long after his retirement,
M. Bergson was awarded the Nobel
Prize for Literature.

must produce for national defense

which will be to unity and stabilize

New Orleans Starts
Carnival Leading
To Mardi Gras
Twelfth Night Boil
Launches Season;
Climox February Is
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6.-With
the New Year and Sugar Bowl
celebrations still ringing in its ears,
New Orleans, town that loves a
parade, stepped out gaily today into
a seven-week carnival season cul-
minating at Mardi Gras.
Tonight comes the ball of the
Twelfth Night Revelers, the social
event that traditionally opens the
carnival season II nights after
Christmas.
Thereafter one ball will follow
another, although most of the city
will leave the formal fun-making
to the debutantes and their escorts
until the Mardi Gras week end.
Climax on February 25.
Mardi Gras, the Fat Tuesday"
before Ash Wednesday and its fare
well to the world, the flesh and the
devil, falls this year on February 25.
From tonight until then the
debutantes will have an exhausting
whirl. The balls. given by old and
exclusive carnival organizations of
men, who thus dominate social life
by selecting the queens and courts Of
their gatherings, soon will be nightly
affairs.
The Queen of the Twelfth Night
Revelers, by tradition, will be the
lucky girl who finds a gold bean
tonight hidden in one of many little
white cake boxes. Other fortunate
ones will draw silver beans and thus
become maids in the court of the
Lord of MiSrule and his queen.
Larger Balls Later.
AS at all the balls, there will be
an elaborate tableau before the
dancing, in which the women parti-
cipate after call outs" from the
masked and coStumed members OF
the carnival organization.
Five days or so before Mardi Gras,
the balls will get bigger and brighter,
the nightly street parades will begin,
visitors will throng in, and the
"city that care forgot" will rush
toward a grand, slap-happy carnival
climax, which will be followed by
Lent.

Merchants Will HeIp
Fight Horse Racing
Revival, Pastor Says
Joint Opposition Warned
Of if Reynolds Bill
Is Pushed in Congress

Any attempt to return horse rae
ing to the District will be met with
the joint opposition of the churches
and the city's merchants, DR.. Will
liam S. Abernethy, pastor of CAL
vary Baptist Church, declared yes
terday.
From the pulpit, DR.. Abernethy
assailed the proposal of Senator
Reynolds, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima to legalize horse racing here.
Speaking of Mr.. Reynolds as the
probable new chairman of the SEN
ate District Committee, DR.. Aber-
nethy said:
I'VE are told that by having a
racetrack in Washington we would
keep money from going to Mary
land. The idea is that by so doing
We would create new tax revenues,
and with the money do a lot of
fine things for the District.
Senator Reynolds wants to pro-
vide municipal stadium. an audi
torium and to enlarge the police
force. An auditorium is greatly
needed. The stadium idea Is fine,
If we had one we might even have
the Olympic games here. I also
approve of enlarging the police
force if that is necessary.
But the idea of keeping money
here by legalizing horse racing is
fallacious Gambling of any sort is
the most prolific source of crime. If
you have race track you will have
gamblers, and if you have gamblers
you will have crime. Then you will
have to spend a lot more money
controlling the criminals-a vicious
circle.
ALSO, a racetrack would take
money from the merchants. In
every city that has one, the mer-
chants are opposed to it. They will
join with the church people in op-
posing a race track here"
DR. Abernethy's remarks were an
incidental part of his sermon, en-
titled THE Secret Springs"

The man on the street expressed
interest and pleasure in the new
Ambassadors arrival. but the news
papers merely printed brief factual

So severe was the storm in which
Admiral Leahy arrived that at least
II persons were reported killed by
