WASHINGTON GROVE, Md,
July 6.-The rolling Montgomery
County farm land, which reminds
them of Southern Sweden, has be-
come the haven of a Swedish baron,
his American-born wife and her
two children, all of whom are shar-

Unlike gentlemen farmers, Baron
Carl Leuhusen and his family join
their five farm hands in the many
tasks of operating a 230-acre dairy
farm-even down to threshing bar
ley.
That Is precisely what the four
LeuhuSens were engaged in when
interviewed on their place, Nara
Lee Farm, near Gaithersburg. The
baron, Baroness Edna Leuhusen
and Margie Lithander II. and Maud
Lithander, Is, toiled at the thresh-
ing barn. oblivious to chaff that
filled the air like a dust storm.
Farm Work Fun For Them.
1t is not that the Leuhusens are
having difficulties finding farm
hands-they have had the assist
ance Of six Washington high school
boys who are part of a group of Is
youths working on farms in this
vicinity. It's just that the family
likes the work.
Baron Leuhusen, a Swedish cav
airy officer until he left his home
land more than five years ago, was
brought up on a farm. Margie and
Maud also have spent most of their
life on farms in Sweden. The

Washington Is Host
To Heaviest Influx
OF Servicemen
Fourth Of July Week End
Brings Men From Camps
Outside of Area

The largest influx of servicemen
into the District since the outbreak
of war occurred over the Independ-
ence Day week end, reports by ho-
tells, Recreation Services and the
Board of Trade indicated today.
Hugo Wolter, executive director of
Recreation Services, said all lodging
facilities for servicemen in the Dis
trict were filled to overflowing. At
Service Club No. l, the demand for
beds was so great that 20 service
men were forced to spend Saturday
night on chairs. BY noon Saturday
every bed in the club was reserved,
and by midnight all Of the more
than 900 beds for servicemen in
the District were filled and hun
dreds of men were turned away.
According to Russell Schneider of
the Board of Trade, the Hotel Tran
sient Clearing House did the. largest
volume of work in giving telephone
information on transient housing
since it opened January 5. Some
500 requests were received Saturday
and 1913 were accommodated in 10
cal hotels and tourists homes. Of
the 1923 approximately one-quarter
were servicemen.
Four of the leading hotels were
filled to 80 per cent of capacity, the
largest Saturday since the war be-
gan.
Servicemen who spent the week
end in the District were not pri-
marily from the nearest camps,
where leaves had been cancelled,
according to Mr. Schneider. One
explanation he gave for the influx
OF servicemen was that pay day i'm
mediately preceded the week end.

Drunks Pleading Guilty Tried
In Corridor to Speed Cases

Another As prisoners, who pleaded
not guilty to intoxication charges,
were sent to the second-foor court
room of Judge Newman, where wit
nesses and arresting officers were
called to testify.
Judge Newman, before court
opened, said the procedure would
save several hours, as all prisoners
normally are taken to the second
floor, then returned to the base
ment cell blocks after trial. Mon
day is usually the heaviest day of
the week for intoxication arrests,
and the judge assigned to try these
cases usually spends an entire day
on them alone, Judge Newman ex-
planned.
The procedure has been tried only
once before, police court officials
said.
Evening star., 1942-07-06

Defendants charged with being
drunk and pleading guilty were tried
in the corridor of the Police Court
cell block today by Judge Hobart
Newman in an unusual court
procedure designed to speed up the
Monday list of intoxication cases.
At the outset, Judge Newman was
trying an average of eight men every
5 minutes. Approximately $50
prisoners were tried in this manner.
A clerks desk was brought out
into the corridor and used by Judge
Newman as the bench. At his side
was the clerk of the court, who
worked from the same desk.
The defendants were brought
directly from the large cell block
nearby, and filed by the desk to be
heard. They then were led to cell
at the other end of the corridor to
await commitment.

b|ackout Bill
Unanimous Consent
Expected to Bring
Measure Up in House

The revised blackout bill giving
the Commissioners broad authority
for wartime protection of the Dis
trict probably will be called up in
the House by unanimous consent
as soon as the House District Com
mittee has it ready. Committee
members said arrangements have
been made with House leadership.
Chairman Randolph conferred
with the War Department and has
been assured that there is no OBJ
lection to passage of the legislation,
Mr.. Randolph has called a spe-
cial meeting of the full District
committee for tomorrow morning.
At a session of the committee
today, Corporation Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech emphasized that
the bill was introduced in April.
''We are in state of war, and if
we do not get ready for the re-
sponsibility of protecting District
citizens, the blame will fall on the
District Committee, the Commits
sioners and the War Department, :"
he said,
Sees Need For Quick Action.
Chairman Randolph added: This
committee realizes that the legisla-
ton is imperatively needed and
should be passed as quickly as
possible
Two changes in phraseology Of
the bill were approved by the Dis
trict Committee today. Instead of
using the word adopt" to bring
civilian organizations in the de-
fense setup, the new bill authorizes
the commissioners to utilize" such
civilian volunteers.
The second change permits the
District Commissioners to take over
property temporarily" instead of
permanently. 1t was emphasized
that this action was "only for the
duration of the war;
Four Important Provisions.
Mr.. Keech explained that there
are four important provisions in the
bill beyond the present blackout
law.
!. At present those who volunteer
for protection of the city are not
cloaked with immunity to which
they are entitled as Government
representatives. The present bill
provides asuch protection. 1t also
gives the Commissioners authority
to use its Police and Fire Depart
ment physicians to treat those in
jured in line of duty and authorizes
the use of 100000 to care for those
hurt on duty.
2. The law now in force refers
only to night AFRAID alerts. The
new bill covers the 24-hour period.
8. The new bill authorizes the
Commissioners to take over any and
all property temporarily for protec-
ton of the people. but provides just
compensation and recourse to the
courts.
4. The District now has no right
to borrow money for the purposes
covered by the bill. The new
measure gives them specific right
to borrow 81 100000
Mr.. Keech said that of the sum
&475 900 is to be used to protect
the Capitals water system, and en-
phasized that this duty should be
Federal obligation.
