After the overthrow OF the Car

Count de Castellane lived in hiding

between those two countries in 1920
Continuing his journey by way of
England, he went to France and
took up his residence on the French

In the park adjoining the De Cas-

In the late afternoon of June 18,
1910, the president of the Court of

Driving through dense fog on un-

Wind Pulls Veteran
To His Death Against
Train al Brentwood

John A. johnson, 40, Of Colmar
Manor, maintenance engineer at
Greenbelt and major in the 9th
Battalion, Maryland State Guard,
was killed yesterday when he was
sucked" into the side of a north
bound Baltimore e. Ohio express
train at Brentwood.
The accident occurred about 5
pm. and Mr.. Johnson died an hour
later at Eugene Leland Memorial
Hospital in Riverdale.
Prince Georges County police said
Mr.. johnson was on his way to
see a paperhanger in Brentwood.
They said the engineer of the train,
C. w. McDaniels, Alexandria, told
them he saw Mr.. johnson standing
about five feet from the tracks and
that the latter apparently was
sucked" into the side of the loco
motive as 1t roared past him. There
was a strong wind blowing at the
time.
Other northbound traffic on the
CTackS was delayed Tor about 40
minutes until police had completed
their investigation.
A native of Prince Georges Coun-
ty, Mr.. johnson was a veteran OF
the World War, in which he was
wounded and later received the Pur-
pie Heart.
He was prominent in American
Legion affairs, having been vice
commander of the 40 & 8 Of the

Senate Group Split
On Baruch's Power
AS War 'DemobiIizer

BY the Associated Press.
A move to create an overall war
rehabilitation board with Bernard
Mr.. Baruch as administrator is under
consideration by the Senate's special
Postwar Committee, but members
are divided on the scope of the pro-
posed agency's authority.
Chairman George. Democrat. of
Georgia, said yesterday there appears
to be unanimous belief among men,
bers that Congress should enact
speedily legislation fixing a few
major policies for reconversion OF
industry to civilian pursuits after
the war ends.
Almost everyone on the commit
tee, he said, wants Mr.. Baruch, the
administrator trouble shooter, to
head a new agency which would
provide the machinery for industrial
rehabilitation, but some want 1t to
operate only in an advisory capacity
and others as the direct authority
with powers even wider than those
originally given the War Production
Board
Loans to Contractors.
Mr.. Baruch now heads a war anc
postwar readjustment unit under
War Mobilization Chief James F
Byrnes. He is charged with the de.
velopment of unified plans by thu
various Government agencies.
Senator George said that commit.
tee hearings thus far had indicated
the need for enunciation by Con.
gress Of general principles concern.

ernment-owned war plants, the allo.
cation OF existing materials to civil.
ian industries and the rapid can.

collation. and adjustment Of war
contracts.
He expressed belief that Congress
must make provision for temporary
loans to war contractors to aid In
reyamping their plants for civilian
manufacture. He added that some
safeguards ought to be written into
such . policy declaration to assure
small business an equal chance with
larger operators in obtaining ma
terials and machinery at reasonable
prices.
An idea Of the gigantic reconver-
sion task ahead has been given the
committee in closed sessions at
which 1t heard Mr.. Byrnes, Under
secretary of War Robert Patterson,
Chairman Emory S. Land of the
Maritime Commission and others.
Mr.. Patterson told the committee
the War Department alone has more
than 100000 contracts that will
be subject to cancellation when the
war ends. The committee was in
formed that more than 5000 con-
tracts Of various kinds already have
been Cancelled because Of changes
In ordnance demands.
In addition, the committee men,
bers heard that the Government
now has an investment approx
mating $4,000, 900 600 in war plants,
a great many of which will not be
needed further when hostilities
cease.
Senator George said this invest
ment poses one of the chief prob
lens for Congress in laying down
general demobilization policies. He
said, however, that the Army and
Navy must determine largely what
plants they want to keep in opera
ton during peacetime.
Declaring there is need for early
action, Senator George said he
would confer with Mr.. Baruch early
next week and would ask the COM
mittee at meeting Tuesday to fix
Ia date for holding public hearings
on the whole problem.

Citizens 10 Appeal
To Congress 10 Halt
War: Housing Project


ton Council, embracing IL citizen
groups, will appeal directly to Con-
gress for assistance to halt the
building of 40 temporary houses at
Alabama avenue and Naylor road
Sc. on property the community
feels should be used for a new
school, President William ]. Smith
said last night.
Mr.. Smith said appeals to David
Lynn, chairman, and John Russell
Young and John Ihlder of the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority,
had been in vain, adding:
This is an instance of why the
people of Washington need repre-
sentation in Congress. There is a
crying need for large addition to
Stanton School, and we ultimately
will need a junior high school, but
the residents OF the community are
ignored completely and have alb
solutely no voice in affairs of vital
concern to the community"
1000 Empty Dwellings,
Mr.. Smith charged that there was
no need for building more temporary
dwellings while approximately 1000
are lying empty around the CITY,"
On the other side in the contro-
versy, Mr.. Ihlder pointed out that
no complaint against the proposed
use Of the land for war housing was
made until after the Housing Au-
thority bought the land and let con-
struction contracts. He further con-
tended that the Board of Education
Is not in a position to build a school
on the site at this time, because 1t
has no money with which to buy
the land.
He added that the authority is
ready to sell the site to the school
board at any time the board wishes
and that the authority will agree to
remove the 40 houses as soon as the
war is over.
Earmarked for Removal.
The structures are of a tempo
rary nature and like other NCHA
temporary housing are earmarked
for removal within a year after the
war, regardless Of what action the
school board may take, Mr.. Ihlder
maintained.
The Board of Education has ap-
proved resolution asking the Com
missioners to include funds for the
purchase OF the ground on which
the 40 new units will be built, it
was learned yesterday. But Col.
Joseph D. Arthur, jr, Assistant En-
gineer Commissioner, said the COM
mittee that investigated the mat
ter for the Commissioners recon-
mended that no funds be requested
In the deficiency bill now before
Congress, on the ground that if a
new school were needed after the
war the ground still would be avail
able. Meanwhile, the land could be
used for housing purposes.
Mr.. Smith said it was fallacy
to believe that the ground eventually
would be repurchased by the city for
school. He declared he had been
lin civic work too long to know that
once a thing is undone 1t takes an
eternity to undo it."
MI 0ill1lH Sdlu representatives OF
southeast citizen groups would 60

temporary dwellings be delayed until

case.
