Return Of McCarran
May Decide Fate Of
Several D. T.. Bills
Property Tox Exemption
And PoIice-Firemen
Pay Measures Pending

The fate of several District bills
still awaiting Senate action as the
present Congress draws toward a
close probably will be decided next
week. when Chairman McCarran of
the District Committee returns from
the West.
Among the more important of
these measures are: To restore prop
erty tax exemption to charitable,
religious, educational and scientific
institutions in Washington, and the
proposed pay increase for policemen
and firemen.
Both these bills have been ap-
proved by the Senate District Com
mittee. The House passed the tax
exemption bill recently with an
amendment, and that measure again
was referred to the District Com
mittee when it reached the Senate.
Since 1t follows the general lines of
the Senate bill, however, it probably
will be reported back to the Senate
and considered in place of the Sem
ate bill.
Any bills not passed by both
Houses and sent to the President by
January 3 will die with the expira-
ton of this Congress, and would
have to be reintroduced and 60
through committees in both Houses
again.
Senator McCarran also is likely to
confer upon his return with Senator
Burton, Republican, of Ohio who,
as chairman of a subcommittee, has
been studying Washington's war
time transportation problems.

Charlie Chaplin AssaiIs
Anti-Soviet Propaganda
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Charlie
Chaplin, veteran screen comic
pleaded last night. eff we want to
win this war, If we want to have the
full cooperation of Russia, let us
stop this anti-Communist propa-
ganda."
The actor addressed a rally on
the ninth anniversary of establish
ment of American-Soviet diplo-
matte relations.
I'VE are understanding now about
the Russian purges-they were
liquidating their Quislings and
Lavals. he said.
True, Russia made a trads pact
with Germany, but not before she
offered her services to the Allies
who gave her a cold shoulder.
They say they (the Russians)
are Goddess people. / say that
any nation that will fight and die
like the Russians are fighting and
dying must have a sense of eternity
in their souls because to die fol-
nothing doesn't make sense.
"Any people who will die for an
ideal--I say that's a religion. The
God of compassion will understand
r~~s.ca he isn't te~Nni-el"

Prison Labor Priority
Proposed in MARYLAND
BY the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 26.-State de-
partments and institutions would be
obligated TO give priority to prison
labor for certain types Of work under
a proposal submitted to the Legis-
lative Council by Chairman Willis
r. Jones OF the State Board Of Cor
rection.
Mr.. Jones also urged the council
to prepare legislation to enlarge the
State Parole Board to three MEM
bers. The States parole system, he
asserted, never had q chance" be-
cause "therc is not enough personnel
to take care Of all the work"
The Correction Board head said
he favored the use of prison labor
IN State institutions which have
had trouble maintaining their STATS
because Of q manpower shortage,
but he added that Employment
Commissioner Harry G. Jones was
opposed to the plan.
Use Of convict labor, he said,
would save the taxpayers money and
prisoners would not "have q free
living while they are In prison"
He presented to the Legislative
Coucil . compulsory work law. He
said many prisoners were already
employed In prison shops, but that
approximately 1900 convicts had
httle q no work 70 do.

Railway Conductors
Challenge Status
Given Trainmen
Union Asks Court
To Void Contract as
Assistunt Conductors

A jurisdictional dispute between
the Order of Railway Conductors
and the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen over who shall represent
assistant conductors on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, flared in District
Court yesterday.
The conductors union, in a COM
plant for an injunction, asked the
court to declare illegal an agreement
between the railroad and the train
mems union regulating the working
conditions and pay of those who act
as assistant conductors" These
assistants also perform the work of
brakemen, which have always been
represented by the Brotherhood of
Trainmen. They are called into serv-
Ice as ticket collectors on trains
when the traffic becomes unusually
heavy.
Secret Agreement CHARGED. q
The conductors union charged that
the railroad and Brotherhood of
Trainmen "conspired and confed-
Grated in an unlawful plan of action
or program designed to embarrass,
discredit, and weaken the Order of
Railway Conductors, and to assist
and strengthen the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and thereby to
influence, coerce, and interfere with
the class and craft of road con-
ductors in their choice of a collective
bargain representative.
In a secret agreement between
them, the railroad and trainmen
decided to carve out Of the road
conductors work a purported new
class or craft of assistant conduc-
tors" the conductors union de-
clared.
In an effort to promote good will
toward the trainmen, the railroad
sought to bring about a settlement
OF all claims that the trainmen had
filed before the National Railway
Adjustment Board, according to the
complaint.
Lower Wages Involved.
During all this period, the con-
ductors charged, the trainmens
union was representing that it had
no intention or desire" to invade
the jurisdiction of the conductors
union, but in reality it was Solicit
Ing authorization cards" to repre-
sent the craft of conductors.
The railroad entered the agree
ment in an effort to save money by
getting assistant conductors" to do
the work of conductors for less
money, it was said.
The court was asked to declare
that agreements between the train
mems union and the railroad are
void because they violate the Rail-
way Labor Act. Other requests were
Tor an order declaring the conduc-
tors union the sole bargaining agent
Tor such employees, and for an in
junction TO prevent the railroad
from making an agreement in the
future with the trainmen's union in
regard to these assistant conduc-
tors"

Many Of the billboards, although

Silver Hill Residents
Are Forced 10 Boil
Drinking Wafer
Wells Contaminated
By Septic Tanks,
Residents Report

Approximately rs residents of
Silver Hill, Nd, are being forced to
boil drinking water because of con-
tamination of their wells by septic
tanks on their property.
In addition, at least one home
owner carries her water supply from
the District while many of the 35
employees at the Telephone Co.
Building in Silver Hill use water
bottled at their Washington homes.
Residents of the area also COM
plain bitterly about the backing up"
Of their septic tanks. According to
Mrs. George Rackey of Branch ave-
| nue., there is particularly bad sew
age situation at the Silver Hill
School. She said she would take
her three children out of the school
unless the septic tank is repaired by
Monday.
Tested by Laboratory.
| Mrs. Jesse Eugene Smith of 100
Cedar drive, who makes about two
trips week to the Rupert Home on
Good Hope road to obtain water,
said she intended to move because
I simply can't drink the water from
my we'll"
Mrs. Smith added that she had
had the water from her well tested
at Washington laboratory and that
she had been told not to drink it.
Several employees at the Telephone
Co. Building explained that the
water obtained from we'll near the
building, dug about year ago, is
rust-colored and tastes awful"
One of the employees, it was said, be-
came sick recently after drinking the
| water.
Soil Is Blamed.
| An appeal by the residents for
construction of water and sewage
lines has been denied by the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion, which claims to be unable to
obtain the necessary pipe.
The water in the area has been
"bad' for the past few years and
has become worse since the con-
struction of new homes in the COM
munity, according to Mrs. William j.
jenkins Of lis Cedar drive.
"The only way I can drink the
water from my WE'LL" Mrs. Jenkins
asserted, 'is by boiling it and using
+! 1t to make tea or coffee.
II think 1t has all been caused"
she went on, "by the fact that the
ground around here Is largely clay
and doesn't obsorb the sewage from
the septic tanks. The sewage then
contaminates our wells"
Deeper Wells Called Solution.
DR.. John M. Byers, county health
officer, said the only possible way to
improve the condition would be for
the residents to dig deeper wells. He
suggested depth of 200 feet instead
Of the present Is or 30-foot depth.
But he admitted that this costs a
lot of money"
THE only thing we can do now"
he said. "is to recommend that the
residents boil their water. Perhaps
q public water supply might be
built after the war to eliminate the
condition"
DR.. Byers said he did not believe
contamination was caused by septic
tanks.
Even If the ground is clay" he
added, that doesn't mean that the
sewage from the septic tanks would
contaminate the wells. If the ground
doesn't absorb the sewage, it simply
would back up and overflow"

and establishing an airport" on
the mile-square section bound
ed by Eight Mile, Nine Mile,

that because of wind direction

some instances the airport will
destroy the value of said prop
critics."
