Action Explained.
He said he was then ineormec
that ORA Administrator Chester
BoWles had indicated that the mat.
ter should be cleared up locally. HI
said he took the appeal back te
the Fairfax Ration Board, which
then held special meeting anc
voted to allot the county the 2,4O(
extra gallons.
The letter from the board left
me in something of a daze," Mr.
Loughborough said. There was
the record of the boards action and
with it statement that the board
was sorry Chat nothing further
could be done for me. The letter
didn't say what my next move
should be, or why couldn't get
the oil"
Mr.. Loughborough said he does
not have enough oil to last until
March IA when No. coupons be-
come valid. He said he would sug-
eest that the courthouse and other
county buildings be clojed when the
present oil, supply. ra,ns out until
the beginning Of the fifth period.
Nf;s%aL~ r~s-~o<.l
Mr.. Loughborough said the
county was given 2O,679 gallons of
oil for the 1923 period, but was
given only 1880 gallons for this
winter. Later, however, he said
this was increased by l,4OO gallons
when the board corrected a mis-
take in its computations. He said
the county has No. 5 coupons worth
1850 gallons of oil, enough to last
about midway through the April
term of court.
Ralph E. Hendricks, OPA field
officer attached to the Roanoke dis
trict, said he planned to be in
Roanoke tomorrow and would in
form district officials of the Fair
lax County case. He said that while
he has no jurisdiction in the matter
the extra oil coupons probably were
not issued because the county had
not taken the proper appeal. -
Mr.. Hendricks said that after be-
ing turned down by the Atlanta
regional office, the appeal then
should have been taken through
regular channels to National OPA
headquarters here.

Hearings on Morals
In Norfolk County
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, March A.
Winding up its on-the-scene inves-
tigation of Norfolk County moral
conditions and law enforcement,
House of Delegates committee re-
turned to Richmond tonight at the
end of its fourth day of hearings
which brought these developments:
A plea by County Treasurer John
G. Wallace II that the committee
persuade or force" Judge A. B.
Carney to retire from the bench of
the County Circuit Court because
the jurist has been i'll and told Mr.
Wallace two months ago that his
court duties were killing him"
Testimony by Mr.. Wallace that
Judge Carney and the late Judge
C. w. Coleman made an arrange
ment in 1910 whereby Judge Cole
man would resign as Circuit Court
judge and Judge Carney would pay
him 500 month as long as Judge
Coleman should live.
Fruitless efforts by the commit
tee to ascertain what became of
TOO bottles of liquor seized in a raid
on a county establishment.
Testimony that county police
officer had an interest in two clubs
previously listed in testimony
among a score of places described
by an ABC investigator as either
houses of prostitution, gambling
dens or bootleg liquor establish
ments. e.
Further testimony that another
omcer who participated in a raid
on one of these establishments re-
turned to the police station where
the first officer had been on duty
and found all the tires on his au-
tomobile and his two coats had
been slashed.
Most of the testimony at the
hearings here has been unfavorable
to the county's law enforcement
agencies. which operate under su-
pervision of the county Circuit
Court. The court is vested with
authority to hire and discharge
police officers.
Mr.. Wallace expressed hope that
Judge Carney's recent illness would
temper" the committees judg-
ment and that the committee S
recommendations to the House
would show that Judge Carney had
been ill.
