Arlington Treasurer
Calls for Abolition Of
Compensation Board
Attacks State Agency
Which Rejected Plea
For Increased Funds
Ey the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, May l7.-John Locke
Green, Republican treasurer of Ar
lington County, in a letter made
public today, criticized the State
Compensation Board as having mo
system based on merits, circum-
stances and conditions, and 1t,
therefore, ought to be abolished"
MIR. Green, in his letter to E. r.
Combs, chairman of the board pro-
tested the refusal of additional
money for extra help. ----'
Mr. Combs said Mr.. Green had
appealed to the Circuit Court and
under the law the board has no
right to alter the allowances fixed
by the court for the remainder of
the year.
Can't Sanction Increases.
"We fixed what we thought was
an adequate budget" Mr.. Combs
said. He appealed and the court
increased some items. Later, hi
wrote for still further increases
which were refused. Under our con-
struction of the law, we have ne
right to change the allowances fixed
by the court"
The Arlington County treasurer
said his letter lis not predicated on
an increase of salary.
1T Is not an appeal from the
court, as you term it," he added
1T is additional money for extra
help. as you might say, which woulc
be applied to the salary. It seems tc
me that you take the position that
II every employe in the office were te
resign, on account of being able tc
receive higher salaries somewhere
else. and when nobody would take
the jobs, by reason that they do not
pay sufficiently, that the office
should close up sine die until Jan.
uary /, 1945.
Difficult to Keep Clerks.
"You know as well as I do tha
can't get a clerk worthwhile fol
$1,000. 1t is hard to keep them al
$1,000"
Mr.. Combs said the figure of $1.30(
referred to was fixed by the court.
Records of the board showed that
the Arlington County treasurer was
allowed salary of $500 and ex-
penses of Office of s37,61l, or a total
Of $44,111, for 1914, as compared
with $500 salary, s37,0l3 expenses
and a total of $43.513 for 1943. The
court increased the expense allow
ance to Sal, ,53l, or total with sal
ary of s48,031.
Mr.. Combs said the board gave
the same consideration to the treas.
urer that it gave to other officials
OF Arlington County, and that none
of these others appealed.

was the speaker at the October
meeting of the local branch of
the Women's National Farm and
Garden Association yesterday

Tolbert.
Seasonable flowers and foliage
brought from garden, green
house and field, were used and
the speaker stated that he pre-
ferred to use plain undecorated
containers of good size making
the arrangements more distinct
i've. Perhaps the outstanding
grouping was of white dahlias
supported by a leafless branch
of scrub oak, combining beauty
and simplicity.
Another was Of magenta and
pinkish lavender gladiolii with
a tall green background. A
branch of Usage orange with red
bebe NUNS made an interesting
and unusual grouping, as did an
other made of foliage only using

His second group were in

mentioned. Mr.. Sylvester gave a

his versatility as an artist. His

Urges Skeptieism

NEW YORK, Nov. II -(P)-
A healthy skepticism toward
the innumerable reports con-
corning Adolf Hitler, his where
abouts and health, is probably
the best attitude for Americans.
Unless an allegedly well in
formed source" has been an act
ual eyewitness of the Feuhrer's
recent movements his report,
however honestly meant, must
be relegated to the realm of
speculation.
l, personally, should not be-
lieve even a German Cabinet
Minister, no matter how con-
vinced he might be of the truth
of his assertions. The Gordon
which Heinrich Himmler, now
the real power in Germany, has
thrown around his Fuehrer is
so impenetrable that the truth
can be kept even from persons
high in the German govern
ment.
There never is and never has
been anything regular about
Adolf Hitler's movements. He is
a man of whims and intuitions
and uncontrolled temperament.

Deliver Bond
In He|itopter
Will Speed $1,000
Bond to Buyer

VAN DYKE - Leaving no
stone unturned in his efforts to
make a success of the Warren
township Sixth War Loan Drive,
Justice James Ryan today was
putting the finishing touches on
plans to have $4,000 War Bond
delivered to its purchaser in a

Asked by Ryan IL he wanted
to buy a War Bond, Officer AL

jovial spirit that he would buy
a $1,000 bond if it were deliv-
cred to him in tank, and
$4,000 bond if it were deliv-
cred to him in a helicopter.
Taking the officer up on his
proposition, Ryan went to work
in an attempt TO have a tank
from the tank arsenal in Van
Dyke deliver the $1,000 bond,
thinking the possibilities not too
good of having a helicopter max
ing the delivery. However, Ry-

Rules State
Race Gambling
Is Illegal
Circuit Court
Says Horse Racing
Unconstitutional

DETROIT, Nov. II - (P) -
Circuit Judge Guy A. Miller to-
day ruled unconstitutional the
statute under which the State
of Michigan permits horse rae
ing at the State Fair Grounds
track in Detroit.
The judge ruled on prelim-
mary motion in suit by
which Edward J. Rohan and his
wife, Josephine seek to enjoin
the Detroit Racing Association
and the State Racing Commits
sion from conducting races at
the tracks and from construct
ing a new, wooden horse-barn
within so feet of their property.
The suit contends that racing
constitutes "a private and public
nuisance" and new barn
would result in the congrega-
ton of the employees of horse
owners; "hangers-on;;" "touts"
and other persons "who make
their living by their ingenuity"
FIRE MENACE
1t states that straw and hay
inside the barn would constitute
a fire menace.
Acting on a motion by the de-
PENDANTS for dismissal of the
complaint, Judge Miller denied
it, and held that the Horse Raj
ing Act of 1888 is unconstitu-
tional. His ruling paved the way
for the issuance of permanent
injunction.
Ben H. Cole, assistant attor-
ney general who represented
the Racing Commission, said he
will appeal to the State Su-
preme Court as soon as the in
junction issues.
In his ruling on the constitu-
tionality of the act, Judge Mill
er pointed to constitutional
prohibition of lottery, and said
although a restricted interpre-
tation would ban the application
of the word lottery" to horse
racing, the sensible construc-
ton of the word is that the peo-
pie of the State of Michigan in
tended to see to it that the Leg
islature should never permit
gambling enterprises in this
state, whose outcome depended
on the operations of chance.
