1.-Two Inferfederation
Delegates Hit Dual
Duties Of Hanrahan
Post os Secretary Of
Board Said to Permit
Expenditure ConceoIment

Questioning the propriety Of Ar
lington County Manager Frank c.
Hanrahan's position as secretary of
the county board, two delegates
from the county Civic Federation
last night told the Interfederation
Conference that occupancy of the
position permitted the official to OBJ
scure the disposition of funds ap-
propriated in the annual county
budget.
Addressing the meeting in the
Board of Trade rooms in The Star
Building, Julian D. Simpson stated
that both the county board and Mr..
Hanrahan had refused to comply
with the federation's request for a
detailed record of budget expendi-
lures. He said that Mr.. Hanrahan
submitted the report as manager
and received it himself as secretary
of the board.
Held Unwilling to Comply.
Mrs. Florence Cannon, president
Of the county federation, told the
conference that Mr.. Hanrahan had
shown no inclination to comply with
the request by the federation to
submit his report in the form of the
original budget. so that the public
fcould appreciate just what changes
were made in particular budget
items.
Mr.. Simpson termed the last re-
port submitted two or three illegi-
BILE loose leaf Sheets"
Mrs. Cannon also accused the
County Board of blocking the fed
| eration's move for a full-time CEN
trail registrar for potential voters
moving into the county She said
the board had refused to grant funds
! to pay the salary of the clerk who,
she said, would have to be hired to
assist the registrar.
Single Fare Asked.
William M. Green moved that
member units of the conference pc
tition the Public Utilities Commits
sion to force the Capital Transit Co.
to inaugurate single fare to Gov
ernment buildings in Arlington and
to. equivalent zones in Prince
Georges and Montgomery Counties.
His resolution was unanimously &C
cepted by the group for transmits
sion to the member units.
Fred w. Cast, delegate from the
Prince Georges County Civic Fed
Grafton, reported that pressure from
| his group had prevented the State
legislature from passing a bill that
would have permitted dog racing in
the State He also stated that sim
| liar pressure on Gov. O'Conor had
resulted in his veto of bill legaliz-
ing pin ball machines.
The Arlington County Civic Fed
Grafton passed a resolution, to be
forwarded to the county board, urg-
ing that body to take up options on
sites for several Fairgrounds to be
purchased and equi'Ioed as funds
become available, according to the
report of E. L. Bennet.

Is certain that a size of apple tree
may be had that will fit the space
limitations OF almost any yard.
Apple trees are as ornamental as
any shrub. Their flowers together
with the fruit make them doubly
desirable. Being dwarf there is not
the difficulty in spraying and prun-
Ing that is so common to the stand
ard-sized tree. OF course, fruit
from a dwarf tree is no different
from that of standard tree. Sew
eral nurseries carry the dwarf fruit
trees in number of varieties, so
there is the possibility of having
the favorite variety for home con-
sumption.
Dwarf trees are as easily grown
as any other tree, although they
do repay a little extra care in feed
ing and pruning with choice fruit.
The planting is different to the
extent that we should see that the
graft (the union between the top
and the root stock) is at the sur
face of the ground. If covered with
soil there is the danger that roots
will form above the root stock and
when that occurs the root stock
gradually dies and the new roots
take over. The new roots, being
more vigorous, soon give the tree
the stature of a standard sized one.
However, the only care needed to
avoid this is to see that the graft
is not covered with soil.
Some horticulturists recommend
that the dwarf trees be staked be-
cause of the possibility that the
point of the graft may be weak and
that dwarf tree heavily loaded

BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

Washington, March 0.--Some Ro. publicAns in Congress are in favor of Q truce to permit the reciprocal trade net to stand until Nfter the war.
 The present act expires June 30, Naturally the administration wants it extended. Repudiatlon Of the pole icy now, of all times would work serious damage to our international relations. It would handicap our of- ficialB severely in all diplomatic negotiations that must be carried on in connection with tho war.
 Those considerations appeal to some Republicans although the par- ty has been almost unanimously against the trade agreements Ret. When the measure was first passed, only two Republicans h tho house voted for tl, and only five Republl- can Senators. On renewals, Republi. cans cast c unanimous vote against 1t ct once in the House and once in the Senate.
 Senator McNary, the Republican leader of tho Senate, has his own objections to the reciprocal trade policy, as 1t has been carried out by tho present administration. But iio doubts f this is tho proper time to make q fight for itS repeal or serious modification. Ho b guggest- Ing to his fellow senators that the act bo extended until afttr the war. Senator McNary would make it clear that the Republicans have not abandoned their objectionB to the act but arc only withholding them until Q more appropriate time.

RepudiatiOn of Policy Would Work Serious Damage

orly for the House Ways and Means committee, but MT. Hope'B personal attitudJy is significant because he comes from the heart Of tho farm belt where tho opposition to the ro. clprocRl program is strongest Ho nlSo has had Q good deNl to do with shaping Republican party exproS- Bions on Agricultural policy.
 House Republicans aro moro lg. gressivG in their opposition to tho trade agreements net than tho Re. publicans In tho senate. NeVorthe. less Rs Rep, Hope says, it k . poor time to raise the Issue and no harm can Do done by continuing the aot during the war. Also there ls some suggestion In the house Of providing, aS has beOn done with some Of tho war Legislation, that congress could terminate the act ct any tlmo by concurrent resolution l--that b by majority action fo both houses withs out tho signature Of the president.
 And such action by congr0BS should Do accepted not as indicating change of heart on tho part of tho Republicans but rather aB their contribution to national unity ana Co tho strengthening of tho govoIns ment in its War.tlmo dealings with foreign governments,
 Republicans might not be willing to admit it, but I have . strong gllS" plcion that som0 Of tho more far' sighted among them arc thinking thnt # tho Republicans como Into power in tho i04a elections, they just might want to keep tho reciprocal tradO act. Az Q matter of Belf.lnter' OBt, It iB 0 most useful weapon for the government In breaking down trade restrictions against us by other nations.
 Republicans might keep it As tho Democrats kept th0 HRwley.Smoot tariff. Tho Democrats denounce tho HlWley- Shoot act aB 0 ln0nBtfoSlty but they have never seriously tried Co get rid Of it. Tn fact, tho admin iBtratlon finds this high tariff n useful reservoir from which to trade concessions under tho reciprocal power.
 Republicans are steadily broad.
