LEXINGTON, Va, Oct. Is.-Rep.
resentative Robertson, Democrat. OF
Virginia, said here today that he
planned to fight the Army's plan te
close the Front Royal Remount De.
pot
Mr.. Robertson, who is at his home
here until after the election, said
the famous Virginia horse breeding
station has been invaluable" to
horsemen in the East. He added
that if the Army must close any OF
Its three remount depots, one of the
two located in the Middle West
should be declared surplus instead
OF the Virginia establishment.
The Virginia depot has done
much in breeding better horses fol-
farmers in the East" Mr.. Robert
sond said. "It seems unfair that the
only station of its kind in the East
be closed"
Mr.. Robertson said he was assured
last week by 1t. Gen. Brehon Somer-
veil, commanding general of the
Army Service Forces, that Army
mounts, including JEFF, Gen. Per-
shing's horse, now at the Front ROYAL
station, will be retained there, and
that final disposition of the prop
erty. which will be declared surplus
before December l, will not be made
until after the war.
The remount station reservation
consists of 4,lf3 acres, with facilities
to accommodate $500 horses and

Park Staying Brings
Plea From Ministers
10 Clean Up Capital
One Urges Government
To Give Preference to
Girls of Church Homes

One Washington minister yester-
day asked Government offlcials to
show a preference to girls from
church homes" in recruiting young
war workers, and called on the
church ito clean UP Washington.
Another minister preached his
Sunday morning sermon on the
topic, "The Washington Tragedy
discussing the murder of 18-year -old
Dorothy Berrum. He said, TT Is
tragic that girl at II years of age
has to give up the relative security
of her home to seek a living in an
overcrowded city where one is easily
lost in the crowd and where the
normal restraints of the average
home town are practically un-
known"
DR.. J. Warren Hastings, speaking
at National City Christian Church
in Thomas Circle, declared, THE
church has the answer, and to q
large degree, the responsibility to
clean up Washington. If the church
speaks out vigorously and is given
the full cooperation Of our Govern
ment. the present problems will be
faced and can be solved.
Cover ment representatives
should cooperate in every way with
the church. In bringing girls to
Washington a preference should be
shown for girls from church homes.
I realize that in all cases this will
be impossible. However, everything
else considered, the girl from a
Church home is a better risk than
the girl with a nonchurch home.
The first phase Of our problem has
to do with the Goddess homes from
which many Of the girls come"
DR.. Edward Hughes Pruden, pas
tor of the First Baptist Church, and
president of the D. C. Convention of
Baptist Churches, in his sermon,
"The Washington Tragedy" said, TT
is tragic that a girl of II has pre-
sumably absorbed so little of the
protective ideals and customs in
which she was reared. 1t Is tragic
that this is not an isolated case.
Other moral tragedies are occurring
all around us every day.
Washington presents a wider va
riety Of temptations than most
places provide, and We should be all
the more on guard against them"
DR.. Pruden warned his listeners, in
cluded in which were many teen-age
girls. I'VE need to remember that
we are required to live with our
memories, and while others may be
ignorant of our folly, We can forfe:s
our own self-respect."

he would round up an audience of
prospectors and read Shakespeare
to them.
He went back to Seattle and
studied law. He had played around
with the idea of making a career
in the theater, but considered the
prospects too uncertain. He came
to Washington in 1922 to represent
some Alaska Indians in a land
claim case. During the six months
he was busy with the litigation, he
passed a civil service examination
and was offered a legal job in the
Justice Department. So he Just
