Petitions for Mrs. Murray
Circulated in House Race
BY the Assoeiuted Press

Petitions are being circulated in
the Eighth Virginia Congressional
district for the Democratic nomina-
ton of Mrs. Elizabeth Chiffon Muir
ray.
Mrs. Murray waged a bitter but
unsuccessful fight in the 1914 gen.
eral election, running on the In
dependent ticket, against Repre-
sentative Howard w. Smith. That
campaign fomented charges on
both sides of violation of the Cor
rupt Practices Act and resulted in a
congressional investigation of cam
palgn expenditures of the candi-
dates.
A minimum of $50 signatures of
duly qualified voters is necessary for
an individual to qualify as candi-
date in the Democratic primary to
be held August 6. All petitions must
be filed by Gardner L. Boothe, Alex
andria, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Committee for the Eighth
District, not later than May Sat
least 80 days before the primary.
Mrs. Murray would be the fourth
contestant for the seat if she de-
cides 10 attempt the ousting of the
incumbent. The others in the race
are Frank NJ Hurst and Maj. James

Under Present Laws

A building to house chinchillas,
being erected in an area zoned resi-
Dental A, today alarmed citizens
OF the Mohican Hills section of
Montgomery County who prepared
an appeal to the Maryland-Na
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission for more adequate protec-
ton in residential zones.
o. M. Kile, former president of the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton and a resident of the commun-
ity which lies between Macarthur
boulevard and Massachusetts, ave-
nue. extended, asked in a formal
statement released by the associa-
ton:
What is to prevent the erection
IN back yards of big, ugly, window
less mushroom-groWing houses, rows
.of rabbit hutches and accessory
buildings or even the production and
housing of goats?"
Permitted BY Present Law.
The association claimed that such
things were possible under present
zoning regulations unless specifically
prohibited by covenant in deeds to
the properties involved
In the Mohican Hills area, which
dates back to the Victorian area and
in which President Harrison was a
land owner, the association learned
that S. w. Pangborn of Alexandria,
a discharged veteran, is building a
structure go by 80 feet which will
house perhaps as many as 100 pairs
OF chinchillas. They are small
rodents, valued at upward of $1,000
pair, the fur of which is highly
sought after for ladies' coats.
The association concluded after
studying the matter that the build
ing, to be air conditioned probably
will not be Objectionable to the
community, but has expressed grave
fears as to what other accessory
buildings" the Park and Planning
Commission will sanction in resi-
dental zones.
Defects Pointed Out.
They believe that practically any
sort OF building incidental to the
conducting of any agricultural use
on the same lot could be put up on
residential A property, provided it
is to the rear of a residence and
does not occupy more than IS per
cent of such space and is not more
than Is feet high
The association plans a meeting
at which defects in the county
zoning ordinance will be studied
and the Park and Planning Com
mission will be petitioned to guard
residential A property.

Plus XII is continuing his customary
routine of 18 hours of work ano
study each day, despite recent indi-
cations that his health is suffering
under the cares of state and the
burden of business connected with
next weeks conSistories.
From members of the papal house
hold, it was learned the Pope usually
retires at am. and arises at am
He takes a nap during the day.
To get his work done with maxi
mum speed, the Pope drafts docu-
ments on a typewriter-the first
pontiff to use the machine.
A moderately fast typist, he uses q
white lacquered portable of Italian
manufacture. He is so accurate that
he rarely needs an eraser.
Persons close to him say the
clatter of his typewriter can be
heard in his private apartments
most afternoons between 2:30 and
4 pm. and again from shortly after
5 until 7 pm. After supper he
studies documents for a while and
then types again until midnight
when he reads an hour before re-
firing.

day when the Pontiff is not engaged
