In 1925, at the age Of 38, he was
named director of the Saranac Lab
oratory OF the Control Of Tubercu-
losis, first institution of its kind In
the United States dedicated solely

DR.. Gardner utilized the labora-
tory facilities in his research on
silicosis. lung disease caused by
constant inhalation OF silicate or
quartz dust.
In 1910, rs years after he began
his research, he was awarded the
william S. Knudsen Medal for the

On May II he was with a group

schoolchildren. School cafeterias
operated by almost all senior. voca-
tional and junior high schools, and
two elementary schools, have raised
plate lunch prices an average OF
5 cents over last year and milk 2

The cafeterias, installed at Dis
trict expense, are run by the indi-
vidual schools under the principals
supervision on a nonprofit basis.
Whatever is made above costs is
turned back toward new equip
ment or prices are cut to keep the
intake to minimum consistent
with dietary needs.
The school lunch act requires
that the cafeterias meet Depart
ment of Agriculture diet specifica-
tons in order for them TO benefit
from the Federal grants. Adults
are barred from the benefits.
Monthly accountings Of food served
must be made to the Agriculture
Department before the Government
will reimburse.
It Is the principals reluctance to
change over their cafeterias to meet
the Government requirements which
is largely responsible for their in
difference to the program, some edu-
Gators say. Additional bookkeeping
work and a general dislike for red
tape" also were given as contribut-
ing factors.
d. c. Inertia Delays Action.
In an effort to create interest in
the program, DR.. Corning appointed
a committee of school principals
headed by John Paul Collins of
Eastern High School. Mr.. Collins
told The Star today his group had
had several meetings but that Dis
trict government inertia had held up
positive action.

Once had been given the job of
drawing up necessary contracts for
the schools following approval of
the program nearly month ago
by the Board OF Education. The
contracts were not available until
today despite pleas for haste from
several schools, he added.
At least one Of the four schools
which participated in the program
last year has gone in the red. Hav-
ing the Federal subsidy allowed
them to lower the cost of food and
milk to pupils. With the promise OF
the Government aid again this year
the school kept prices down while
waiting for the contracts to come
through, the pricipal said.

Ball Hopes PIebiscite
Will Give Impetus
To D. {. Franchise

Senator Ball, Republican, of
Minnesota today expressed the hope
that the District suffrage plebiscite
November S would give more "im-
petus' to the current drive to en-
franchise voteless Washingtonians
In a statement to The Star, the
legislator. who Is one of the active
younger Republicans In the Senate
and is not up for reelection, de-
clared
II think the plebiscite for the
District of Columbia on national
representation and local self-gov-
eminent should give some additional
impetus to the move for restoring
the vote to residents of the District.
II certainly hope that national
representation for residents of the
District will be approved by the
Eightieth Congress, and I hope that
plan for local self-government
which will adequately recognize the
Federal Governments stake and
responsibility can be worked out"
The Senator's statement came in
response to a poll by The Star of a
cross section Of Congress.
Other comment:
Senator Chavez, Democrat, of
New Mexico: II am Fundamentally
In favor of local and national
suffrage for the District of Column
bia. 1t seems ridiculous that the
home of democracy should keep
nearly million people disfran-
chised. You can count on my active
support"
Senator Smith, Republican, of
New Jersey: Il heartily approve,
as feel people of the District should
be permitted to express their views
whether Or not they desire local and
national suffrage. Personally I be-
lieve all our people should enjoy
the full right to vote on all ques-
lions local or national which may
affect their welfare"
Representative De Lacey, Demo-
crat, of Washington: Am delighted
to learn of District plebiscite.
Congratulations to Board of Trade,
civic groups, press and labor organi-
cations for taking this demonstra-
tive means of shocking the Nation
and Congress into long overdue
granting of American voting rights
to the Districts voteless Americans
1t is important to involve all groups
regardless of occupation, color. re-
1igion, or politics, as only a large
and favorable vote will be helpful.
Wish I could be there to help cam
paign."
Representative Hand, Republican,
of New Jersey: 1T is humiliating
for Americans to have to play at
elections Awaiting the result of
your plebiscite with interest. OF
course I am, and always have been,
fully committed to votes for the
citizens of the District"

Ballot boxes will not be opened
until the polls are closed and the
last vote cast. This Is the law
nearly everywhere AS each pre-
cinct completes its count, the result
will be telephoned to the general
plebiscite headquarters and made
public.
Later, the ballot boxes will be
sealed and sent to headquarters
for official canvassing. This also
is the general practice.
There was wide interest in the
recent referendum at which citizens
of Alaska voted in favor of state
hood. There will be more in an
expression by the voteless people of
the Capital, say sponsors of the
plebiscite.
They feel that election day will
be the best time to focus the
country's attention on the plight
of District citizens. since citizens
of every State will be exercising
their right OF suffrage and follow
ing the returns closely.

1776. The plebiscite held here In
1888 went overwhelmingly favorable,
but 1t just didn't mean anything.
President Truman Endorsed it,
the District Commissioners Endorsed
it, the Board of Trade Endorsed it,
the Central Labor Union has always
Endorsed it. And the residents of
the District may indorse it. But
even SO, unless Congress Endorses it
and enacts it, it means nothing.
But District residents, undoubt-
edly, will vote overwhelmingly for
self government.
AL local unions and members of
all locals will go to the polls and
register their conviction that the
District of Columbia is part of
the greatest democracy in the world
and it's residents are entitled to the
same privileges of other Americans"
Committees Push Work.
Committees working out details of
the big plebiscite are completing
their work rapidly. Citizens are vol
unteering in large numbers to act
as election officials. But others still
are needed, and these may call the
Board of Trade, District 1886, and
leave their names and addresses.
The polls will be open from 9 am.
to pm. to give citizens ample OPP
portunity to express themselves-to
say whether or not they want the
right to vote for President and for
members of Congress from the Dis
trict and whether they want to
choose those who administer their
city government.
With a few exceptions, the polling
places will be at schools. The
rules Of elections in force in Mary
land, Virginia and other States
will be observed as closely as pos
sible. Sponsors want to make the
voting as fair and as nearly Official
as feasible. They don't want to

At the time of his sentencing Sat
urday, Judge Brown asked Dove II

fully aware of the details OF the case
and the defendant assured the court
that they were.

Judge Brown said he had received
a telephone call from Navy re-
cruiting station about the case. He
said he was informed there was no
such thing as active duty" in the
Naval Reserve and that, in any case
Doves enlistment would be unac-
ceptable. The judge then asked the
defendant for positive proof the de-
PENDANT already was in the Navy,
even though Dove appeared in blue
Navy uniform. Dove produced a
temporary Identification card, a copy
of his orders and a liberty pass
Omcials ut the Naval Air Reserve
Training Unit said Dove had: been

and he did not say he had to appear

Judge Brown did not suspend

was suspended pending good be-
havior.
Commonwealth Attorney Hugh
B. Marsh, who reduced the charge
from murder to assault and battery,
recommended a six months Jail SEN

Brown observed that if he did not
suspend the sentence, Dove would
not be able to serve in the Navy.

Doves enlistment was handled by

operation of the mines.
Lewis Failed to Sway Vote.
In past elections, Mr.. Lewis was
unable to persuade many of his
miners to vote against the Demo-
cratic Party of President Roosevelt.
This despite the fact that his union
members always backed him solidly
on union issues.
The National Coal Association
commenting for the first time on the
new crisis brewing in their mines
declared the strike threat constitutes
"a challenge to the Government
authority"
1T will be interesting to see what
steps the Government takes to pro-
tect the people from a coal shortage
now that the Government occupies
the place of mine manager" the
association declared in a statement.
The association said the Govern
ment sought the role it is now
playing" by Selling the Nation S
strike paralyzed soft coal mines last
May % and by giving Mr.. Lewis a
contract involving "a number of I'M
sound principles" as viewed by the
mine owners.
This is another lesson in ap-
peasement," the statement said.
1T is rather difficult to retrace
the steps once taken without great
danger to the dignity OF the Gov
eminent"
Coal stocks today are much the
same as when Mr.. Lewis miners
struck six months ago-something
over a months supply.
But the potential demand for
coal, with the full winter ahead, is
much greater now than it was last
April and May. At that time the
Government had to place strict dis
tribution controls over soft coal
stores. Presumably such controls
will be even more essential this win
ter If settlement Is not reached. .
