Sorensen, of course, knew all about eeps from the
manufacturing standpoint. He had been making
them at Ford. But now he began playing around with

its proper technical classification. He used it as

Cold Weather Cuts
Districts Kerosene

The city's already low supplies OF
kerosene will be further drained
today and tomorrow because of the
cold and stormy weather, j. Thomas
Kennedy, superintendent of
weights, measures and markets for
the District, warned today.
Mr.. Kennedy said check by his
office revealed the most serious
shortage in the area north of L
street between Fourth and Sixth
streets NV, where only of 19
stores checked had kerosene sup
plies.
Elsewhere Mr.. Kennedy's inspec-
tors found that out of IL stores
in Georgetown had some" supplies
and that SO per cent of the South
east dealers had the fuel on hand.
The Kenilworth area in Northeast
had the best record, with out of
II stores reporting fuel on hand.
Although large barge of kero-
sene reached the city two days ago,
Mr.. Kennedy said that it did not
relieve the shortage for some 10000
kerosene using families because it
was diverted to industrial and COM
mercial use.

Ten Houses Destroyed
By Blaze in Alexandra

Fire today destroyed 10 old frame
houses from 321 to 341 South Patrick

cupants got out safely, firemen said.
Three fire companies apparently

it was severely damaged by water.

Police Investigating
Fire in Chevy Chase

Montgomery County police are in
vestigating a fire which virtually
destroyed former real estate Office
yesterday at Oak lane and Leland
street, Chevy Chase, after the owner
of the property said nearby resi-
dents had demanded that he get
rid of it or burn it down"
The blaze also dealt a heavy blow
to plans of the Bethesda Chevy
Chase Cooperative Nursery School
to use the three-room one-story
frame structure as a nursery for
pre-school age children.
NJ. P. McDermott, 203 Elm street,
Chevy Chase, who purchased the
building from the Shannon & Luchs
Real Estate Co. about a year ago,
said that when residents in the vi
cinity of the Office learned of plans
to convert it into nursery a few
weeks ago. he began to receive an
onymous telephone calls ordering
him to tear it down."
"Firemen couldn't find out how the
fire started" Mr.. McDermott said,
land believe the only way it could
have caught fire was from some one
setting match to it."
Vigorous opposition by residents
of the area to the proposal to estab-
lish a nursery in the building was
voiced at recent hearing before the
Montgomery County Board of Zon-
ing Appeals. They maintained that
it would depreciate property values.
Of1cials of the nursery school,
now housed in the Bethesda Chevy
Chase Recreation Center, said they
have an enrolment of IA children
and that facilities at the center are
inadequate.

Gen. Grant Reiterates
Planners Opposition
To Potomac Dams

Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, chair
man of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, reiterated
today that the group is prepared to
make a determined fight against
the proposed Potomac River dam
project.
He was directed by the Planning
Commission last month to oppose
the entire scheme before hearings
of the Army, River and Harbors
Board when they are held. Today,
in view of publicity given to more
detailed plans, Gen. Grant said the
commission would oppose,the scheme
whenever and wherever necessary"
A resolution previously forwarded
by the Planning Commission to the
Army board specifically condemn
ing the proposed dams at Great
Falls was made public.
Human Values Cited.
1t said in part: "TIe wise course
from the national standpoint seems
to be that these irreplaceable hui
man values that the National Cap
ital has inherited in the gorge Of the
Potomac River should not be sacri-
feed unless and until their contin-
ued preservation puts real and
actual and economic burden on the
people of the United States sufficient
to make them prefer that sacrifice" +"
The Planning Commission has
been in touch with the Army engi-
neers' plans for the drainage water
control and hydro-electric develop
ment of the Potomac River basin
for the last 18 months. It's opposi-
tion to this whole plan stems back
to 1928 when Potomac River dams
were proposed and the commission
was given authority under the Cap
per-Cramton Act to buy and pre-
serve park lands in this area.
Value of Dam Questioned.
1t had engaged the services of
Frederick Olmsted, planning con-
sultant. to make study of the pro-
posed Great Falls dams. This re-
port, with the conclusions set forth
in the resolution made public today,
vsas adopted by the Planning Com
mission last month.
The planning group questions the
economic value to the Washington
area of the proposed 20-year pro-
gram costing approximately $685.
100000, asserting 1t is primarily in
the interests of utility companies in
the Baltimore and Philadelphia area.
Whatever may be done with the
development of power at Great Falls
would involve a great sacrifice of
values which are not measurable in
dollars, the resolution declared.
The Planning Commission will
hold its monthly meeting next week
and it is probable that some other
phases of the dam program may
come up at the session. No date
has been set for the Army engi-
neers' hearing. Nearly a score of
civic organizations have sided with
the commission in opposing the
project.

Hearing on MargoId
Deferred Indefinitely
By Senate Committee

The Senate Judiciary Committed
hearing on the nomination OF
Municipal Court Judge Nathan r
Margold to be an associate justice
of District Court, originally sched-
uled for next Friday, has been post
poned indefinitely, a committee
spokesman said today.
Postponement was granted by
Chairman McCarran at the request
of Senator Chandler, Democrat, of
Kentucky, member of the COM
mittee. The Kentuckian said he
wanted to be the first witness in
Judge Margolds behalf, and that he
could not appear Friday because of
conflicting engagements.
A committee spokesman said no
new date for the hearings has been
set, and that under the committees S
rules the date would have to be
published in the Congressional
Record seven days in advance of the
scheduled session.
'Disparaging Publicity" Charged.
Meanwhile, Emmett L. Sheehan,
Washington attorney, wrote Chair
man McCarran charging that Judge
Margold was the victim of unfair
and disparaging publicity to which
because of his official position, he
has been unable to reply. He re-
ferred particularly to the District
Bar Associations secret ballot in
which a 4-to-1 majority voted in
opposition to the judges confrma-
ton. Mr.. Sheehan asked an oppor-
tunity to. appear before the COM
mittee to testify for Judge Margold,
The attorney said that before the
poll was taken the Bar Association s
Judicial Selection Committee of
seven members had met and decided
what three persons would be in
dorsed." This action, he said, could
give no assurance that their selec-
tions would reflect the sentiment
of the Bar Association.
1T is only natural" he continued,
"that members of the bar should be
interested in advocating the ap-
pointment of some one in whom
they were interested. and it seems
to me that when Judge Margold
was nominated by the President
group felt constrained to knock
down the nominee in order to give
their candidate a chance-or at
least to try to kock him out of the
running.
Recommendation Not Controlling.
at seems to me that while the
recommendation of the Bar Asso-
citation under any condition should
be given respectful consideration,
it does not necessarily follow that
the recommendations should be
controlling, nor that there are not
candidates equally or better quail
fed, particularly when those recon-
mended are chosen by secret bal
lot of a committee of seven"
A Judiciary Committee spokes-
man said today that number of
Washington attorneys had asked to
testify at the Margold hearings,
some for and others against the
judge. He refused to say how the
two groups compared numerically.

Temporary Gates
Constructed al Jail
To Prevent Escapes

A set of temporary wire gates
has been erected at the District Jail
to forestall any further escapes,
Public Welfare Director Ray L.
Huff announced today.
1t also was learned that United
States marshals, who have charge
of transporting prisoners to and
from the jail, now are carrying
sawed-off shotguns, previously used
only when prisoners were considered
desperate.
The shotguns are the property OF
the deputies, the marshaps Office
said, and are not issued by the
Government.
Construction of the gates, made
by prisoners, which eliminated
lengthy delay over appropriations
and priorities, was handled by
prisoners from Lorton Reformatory.
working with materials already on
hand at the jail, Mr.. Huff said. The
gates are 10 feet high.
The Public Welfare Board has
approved report of its Penal Com
mittee asking the Commissioners for
funds to construct permanent gates
at the institution. Mr.. HUFF said
request for priorities will be filed as
soon as the Commissioners approve
the request for $4,000 for heavy
| steel gates.
Another situation which the board
hopes to correct is the 10-foot tenn
porary wire fence which surrounds
the exercise yard used by approx
imately $50 inmates. 1t has been
pointed out that the fence is not
escape-proof.
The escape, which precipitated
construction of the gates, occurred
January 81, when three men being
returned by marshals from District
Court to the Jail knocked one of the
officers down and broke away. One
of the fugitives, Elmer Norton, ID,
still is at large.

less than 5 feet from the gateless
doorway of the jail when they
Ileaped on Edmund j. Barry, one OF
the two deputies standing guard on
either side of the prisoner line. He
was knocked down and the men
leaped over him and ran away, &C
cording to officials. Another dep
uty, who was armed, did not use
