Condemnation Case
In Prince Georges
Hailed by Judge
Conditions Arising After
TrioI Began Cited os Par
Boord Suit Is Stopped

b. staff Correspondent OF The Star
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. June
IA case involving condemnation
suit filed by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission was halted suddenly during
the second day of trial in the Prince
Georges County Circuit Court be
cause of certain conditions that have
arisen" since the trial began.
What the conditions" necessitat-
ing the interruption were could not
be learned from official sources after
Judge Joseph C. Mattingly on Tues
day resorted to the custom of order
ing juror picked at random, with
drawn from the jury box to halt the
case which then was ordered con-
tinued. The case started Monday.
The suit sought to obtain through
condemnation over 100 acres of
property along the Eastern Branch
If the Anacostia River near Bladens-
burg, which the commission has
included in its park development
plan for the county's metropolitan
area.
The land is owned by Edward L.
Mahoney of Lanham and his wife,
Frances, and Richard MacSherry
of Easton and his wife, Grace, all of
whom are named defendants in the
suit.
In halting the case Judge Mat
tingly declared that due to the as
sent of counsel and certain condi-
tions that have arisen since the in
ception of the trial of this case, it
has been thought the part of wisdom
after consultation of counsel with
the court that this case proceed no
further at the present time"
In the proceedings it was con-
tended that T. Howard Duckett a
member, had attempted to purchase
the land for the commission at 500
per acre. but that Mr.. Mahoney had
refused to sell. 1t was claimed the
offer was liberal" and all the COM
mission is willing to pay.

Archbishop Cur|ey
Charges Government
Goodies Communists
'Eosier to Be American
At Poles Than in D. c.
He Tells College Group
By the Associated Press.

EMMITSBURG, Md, June 12.-
The Most Rev. Michael J. Curley,
Archbishop of Baltimore and WASH
ington, accused the Government
yesterday of profound stupidity in
"coddling" Communists and anti
Americans.
The Catholic leader declared at
Mount St. Mary's College COM
mencement exercises that anti
American factions within the Gov
ernment itself were responsible for
many unhealthy conditions" in the
country. He said that woman
that Government offcial' whom he
failed to identify was responsible
for much of the "coddling"
tits easier to be an American at
the North or South Pole" Arch
bishop Curley asserted, than to be
one in Washington"
Blames Reds for Strikes.
He said Communists were directly
responsible for many of the labor
tie-ups and traced the Governments
attitude, in part, to the "Vassar and
other college" groups who come to
Washington and leave their mark" ="
The Communistic attitude of
many students, he said, was due to
the inculcation OF such doctrines
by their professors which he COM
pared with anti-religious training
in Russia.
Archbishop Curley made his re-
marks at the close of the colleges S
l33d commencement exercises. He
presided and awarded diplomas to
43 graduates and Baltimore nuns
who received degrees in extension
school work.

John E. Haltigan, senior attorney
for the Veterans Administration at

adhere to the "homespun virtues
of honesty, sacrifice, loyalty and
industry in the struggle for exist
ence in an unstable world"
The Very Rev. Daniel j. McHugh
of Washington spoke at the exer-
cises.
The Carroll Medal for general

At the service club, the men will
be able to meet their relatives and
friends, write letters home, check
their parcels and chat with the

To provide for the service club, to
take care of the myriad of details

the District Defense Council needs
funds from the U. S. o. Without
those funds, its willing volunteers

Prince Georges
Projects Voted
100000
improvement Unit
Given Permission
To Hire Engineer

The Advisory Committee for the
100000 improvement program in
the Prince Georges County Metro
politan Area will spend between
100000 and S500,000 this year on
various projects, it was decided last
night at meeting Of the commit
tee and the county commissioners
in the County Service Building in
Hyattsville.
At the same time the commission
ers, who must approve all expendi-
lures by the committee, authorized
the committee to appropriate $4,000
to be paid out of the bond issue for
hiring an engineer for 60 to 80 days,
and to set up headquarters in the
County Service Building.
According to William A. Carson,
only part of the bond issue will be
f1oated this year, in order to reduce
interest charges. The rest will be
f1oated in 1912 and allocated for
other projects. No projects have
been decided on as yet, however.
Guidance Needed.
As for the hiring of an engineer
1t was felt that the committee would
need a full time man to guide them
in estimating costs and requirements
for the projects to be recommended.
Earlier it was thought that the pro-
posed county engineer authorized at
the recent session of the Legisla-
ture might devote part of his time
to the committee. However, at last
nights meeting it was agreed that
this arrangement would be unsatis-
factory because the engineer would
not be able to devote sufficient time
to either job.
In addition to providing a salary
for the committees engineer, the
$1,000 appropriation will also pay
the salary of an assistant to E. Muir
ray Cover, secretary of the commit
tee, who receives no compensation
for his duties 1t was decided to set
up headquarters in the reception
room Of the Office of States Attor-
ney H. Winship Wheatley, jr. who
offered the facilities of his County
Service Building Office.
The County Commissioners also
met with a committee of the
eounty's Real Estate Board and r. L.
Watkins, representing the Mary
1and-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to discuss the
appointment of county engineer,
particularly his functions and juris-
diction.
Overlapping Duties Feared.
One suggestion was that the Park
and Planning Commission appoint
an engineer to assure observance OF
building code and deal with build
ing inspection in Prince Georges
County only. At the same time the
county engineer would be limited
IN jurisdiction to the county's rura.
area above.
Another proposal was that the
engineers function should be coun-
ty-wide in scope, but that a sepa-
rate building code be set up for the
countys Metropolitan Area. Pro-
ponents of this plan feel that one
official would be held accountable
for all functions, thus avoiding dual
responsibility and overlapping OF
duties. In addition it was felt that
under the other suggestion the
growth of the Metropolitan Area
might ultimately shrink the duties
of the county engineer to a mini
mum.
Representing the Real Estate
Board were Mr.. Watkins, Frank H
Cowell, jr.; A. H Seidenspinner ano
j. H. Rimmer. All members of the
Board of County Commissioners
were present.
