BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-One hum
dred families of airplane workers
will move next week into a new
hidden village" of 300 low-rent
homes erected, seven a working day,
by laborers using hammers and
levels.
It's a village of permanent homes,
renting for $50 to $35 month, that
mushroomed under the shadow OF
bombers roaring off on test flights.
One technique of airplane manufac-
ture was used in the construction.
Few Knew Village Existed.
The village was built by the Glenn
L. Martin Co., through subsid-
iary, for some of its workers. It
grew so quickly, on peninsula ne2
Middle River behind the closely
guarded airplane factory, that few
persons knew it existed until Mar
tin announced it today. Ground
was broken May %.
Two days ago the Farm Security
Administration opened trailer
camp at another area to care for
some of the huge influx of defense
workers here.
A new type of prefabrication.
called encased insulation, was used
for the five-room homes. Only IL

of thin layers of composition board

Second Village Planned.
This material came cut to size
Workmen needed little more than
hammers and levels to build the
houses. The wood trim was cut
at the villages own sawmin, using
jigs and patterns similar to those
for making airplanes.
Mr.. Martin said all 300 homes
would be occupied by September 80,
and another 300-home village is
being started at a different location.
to be occupied by December. The
houses are grouped about tree-lined
courts. and the village will have
bathing, boating and other facilities.
Water supply, necessary for oper-
alton of the expanded Glenn L.
Martin Co. aircraft plant at Middle
River, Md, was provided this week
by contraction at a pace that far
exceeded all estimates, Howard O.
Hunter, commissioner of work prof.
ects, announced yesterday in WASH
ington.
Three contractors had estimated
that the work would require 48 to
81 workdays, Mr.. Hunter said. The
job, involving installation of nearly
miles OF l6-inch main, was done
by w. P. A. crews as a special ma
tional defense project In only IS
workdays.

2 scientist who conducted them. None
of the gasoline wastage he studied
was Of the kind that would make
smoke, he said, and repairs dealt
with were spark plug requirements,
coil replacements and carburetor
adjustments-not costly jobs deal
ing with cylinders, pistons, ETC., such
as often are needed to end smoke
1t is Mr.. Bruce's opinion, shared
by other experts referred to, that
probably majority of heavily
smoking cars do consume large
amount of oil or gasoline-enough
so that even expensive repairs would
pay for themselves in few thou
sand miles Of driving.
Smoke Is of three kinds, the ex-
! perts say. Gasoline smoke is black.
Oil smoke is yellow, according to
the District vehicle inspectors Cor
blue, according to the Bureau of
Standards. Water condensation
smoke is white.
This last, which appears as a
plume of steam, probably results in
no loss of petroleum at all, 1t is
stated. Officials of the inspection
system say there is no worry about
being rejected for this, because the
watery form of smoke never registers
on the smoke meter.
AS one last element of scientific
mystery, the meters designer, 1t.
Mcmillan, says such mist does reg
lister.
We turn now to the field of legal
mystery. What gives park police the
power to order smoky cars to in
spection stations?
According to park officials, police
have been acting under authority
of section So of the traffic regula-
tions. This section says:
ANY police officer may at any
| time - order the removal from
the roadway, even though it may
display an approved inspection cer-
tificate, of any vehicle which is
found to be diversified or in an
unsafe mechanical condition"
Just how a smoky exhaust makes
an auto diversified" or unsafe" Is
not quite clear.
But don't get any rebellious ideas
brother. The traffic code provides
fine up to $500 and Imprisonment up
to 10 days If you own or operate
a motor vehicle which emits from
the exhaust or muffler thereof any
prolonged, dense or offensive guam

Prince Georges Plans
To Seek Federal Aid
For County Hospital
Medical Society to
Sponsor Request for
Necessary Money

The Prince Georges County Medi-
cal Society is preparing to sponsor
an application for Federal funds
under the Lanham Act for the pro-
posed $400, 900 new county hospital,
DR.. Leslie French, chairman of the
Hospital Committee, said yesterday.
The Hospital Committee has met
with the Board of County Commits
sioners on the problem but no
definite program has been COM
pleted, DR.. French said. However,
1t was decided to seek Federal aid
for the project, which was author
ized by the last Legislature.
How much the application would
ask has not been determined, but
conference is planned soon with
Representative SasScer of the fifth
Maryland district, and Senators
Tydings and Radcliffe, to discuss
this phase of the problem, it was
explained.
Mrs. j. Enos Ray of Chillum, 9
member of the State Department
of Public Welfare, and former chair
man Of the county welfare board
is under consideration to head a
countrywide committee to confer
with Maryland representatives in
Congress, which will be named by
the county medical society, it wa.
learned.
Meanwhile, representatives of AZ
civic and professional organizations
will meet tomorrow night in the
Bladensburg High School to discuss
construction of the hospital.
|. o. K. Fike, director of Doctors
Hospital, will speak. The county
commissioners are expected to at.
tend.
A $400, 900 bond issue for construc-
tion of hospital was authorized by
the State Legislature last spring
The county commissioners were
empowered, but not required, to
select site and decide when to be-
gin the financing. No action has
been taken to date.
Mrs. Nelson G. Tayman, president
of the Prince Georges County Hos
pital Guild, has designated October

World Facing Its Worst
Economic Upset, Young
Democrats Are Told
Special Dispatch to The Star.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Aug.
9-Unity among all political groups
during the present emergency was
urged by Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Virginia, speaking to-
night at the banquet concluding
the annual convention of Young
Democratic Clubs of the 9Th dis
trict of Virginia.
There should not be any politics
in national defense" Mr.. Smith de-
clared.
An economic upheaval. the worst
the world has ever known, will fol-
low the present war, the speaker
predicted.
Fenwick Is KeynOter.
ITO say the President is trying
to get the country into war IS
ridiculous" Mr.. Smith asserted. He
denied draft legislation before Con-
eress is being showed over' on the
people, and declared provision for
an extension of selectees' service
was included in the original draft
bill. Z
In the keynote address OF the
afternoon session, Delegate Charles
r. Fenwick of Arlington County
urged united backing for defense.

lions for defense, we can talk about
democracy-but, until this country
becomes so imbued with that inde-

rale,' we can never. prepare for any
eventuality."
Edwin Lynch of Fairfax, district
vice chairman, acted as temporary
chairman. Miss Walser Connor OF
Manassas was elected permanent
district secretary. Delegate Maurice
D. Rosenberg of Alexandria was
parliamentarian for the convention.
Matt Anderson of Goochland was
elected permanent chairman.

A spirited fight developed around
an effort to strike the names of
Senator Wheeler and Charles A.
Lindbergh from a resolution con-
demning abuse of the right of free

Mr.. Fenwick and James c. King
of Fairfax led the fight to retain
the names in the resolution. which
was finally adopted by q large
margin.

lowed studies made of school needs
in Arlington County due to the in
flux of population brought about by
the national defense program. He
added an increase in school facili-
ties has been made necessary to
cope with overcrowded condition
now existing in county classrooms.
1t has been estimated that school
facilities must be provided for more
than 1,500 additional pupils in Ar
lington, this figure being based on
the average of .65 children per fam
lily.
Locations Not Disclosed.
School department officials would
not reveal in which section of the
county it was contemplated to erect
the proposed new Junior high school
and the two primary schools.

Yet this conclusion only makes the
smoke meter the central figure Of
mystery in tale of mystery.
According to its designer, 1t. C.
w. Mcmillan, the smoke meter was
not created to measure petroleum
wastage, and does not measure it.
1t. Mcmillan. now in Washington
with the War Department, designed
the crucial instrument about two
years ago in Detroit, where he was
an automotive development engi-
neer. He merely wanted to make a
device that would measure density
of smoke, considered a nuisance.
He produced the smoke meter,
which passes exhaust gases through
l12-inch l glass tube. On one side
of the tube is small light. on the
opposite side is a photo electric cell.
