Legion Auxiliary
To Have
Million Members

One million women will be mem
bers of the American Legion AuXil-
iary in 1947,. Mrs. K. N. Corbet,
membership chairman of Ridge-Igo
Unit, predicted yesterday as the
organization continued enrolment
of members for the year ahead.
The prediction was based on the
Auxiliary's rapid growth during the
past year and the greatly increased
number of women now eligible to
membership. In 1916 the Auxiliary
reached a national enrolment of
100000 gain of approximately
1000 over the previous year.
Already the largest organization
of it's kind by far, the American
Legion Auxiliary is now in a period
of great expansion" said Mrs. Cor
bet. 1--WE expect the enrolment of
one million women for 1947 and we
will have need for every one of
them to carry out the Auxiliary's
part of the Legions activities for
the veterans and the nation.
The record growth of the Auxil-
larry in the past year has made it
into two-war organization. A
majority of the new members are
women of World War II families,
the wives, mothers, sisters and
daughters Of young veterans, as we'll
as women who themselves were in
the armed forces during the recent
war. They are bringing the vigor
and vision of youth into our organi-
zation.
Like the national organization,
our local Unit has made great
strides in the past year. We have
grown from As members to an en-
rollment of 60, and we expect even
greater growth during 1947 We
have an active year ahead, full of
interesting and important work
which we are inviting all eligible
women in the city to share with
U.s."

ignorant American know that the
border was closed?
But as Mr.. Scharff turned to go
back to his car the guard opened
his eyes wide enough to see the hat
and the loud shirt and the boots
the American was wearing. "Tom
Meek" the guard said, impressed.
"Well!"
! tlat same moment, Mr.. Scharff
he is a resourceful man-thumbed
thrcu,ta his papers hurriedly, pulled
out his Texas passport and with a
flourish handed it to the guard.
The guard saw a lone brown Sc
at the top Of the page and then a
paragraph which read:
ITO all whom this bull shall como
greeting"
He read further:
| "I, the undersigned, Consul
Fexanic Majesty of Free and So1
ereign Texas, do hereby request al
Sheriffs, Rangers and Peace Off
GERS (tick inspectors includeO and
all others it may concern, to permit
Alvin F. Scharff, a citizen of Free
and Sovereign Texas, safely and
freely to pass and in case of need
to give him all lawful aid and pro-
tection.'
He read on:
"Given under my hand and the
Seal of the Texanic Consulate at
the City of Nogales, State of Ari-
zona, this Second day of March,
1896, and of the Independence of
Texas, the one Hundredth. Signed
R. H. Bibolet, Consul of Texas"
Passport Handed Back
Soberly the guard handed the
passport back to Mr.. Scharff.
''Ah, yes, Texas he said. ''The
gendarme will be interested"
Whereupon he escorted Mr.. and
Mrs Scharff to the town where the
gendarme lived, ACROSS the border
into Hungary, which after all, was
Mr.. Scharff's destination. But the
gendarme, apparently not having
seen the latest Tom Meek, was
asleep.
"Wait for the gendarme and see
him tomorrow" the guard said. ''It
would be better not to wake him."
But already in Hungary, Mr.
Scharff and his wife did not wait
to see anybody. They took off fol
Budapest. The gendarme did no
get to see the Texas passport.
That ends the story. The Western
clothes?

Scharff explained, "but I gave the

Lorton Inmate Stabbed
To Death in Argument
Over Taste Of Coffee

An inmate scheduled to be re-
leased from Lorton Reformatory in
two months was stabbed to death
by another prisoner in an argument
over the taste of coffee shortly after
last midnight.
The victim was William o. New
man. 81, colored, 400 block of K
street NV, described as a model
prisoner, who was to be discharged
March IA. He had been serving
since September 30, 1910, on a two
to-seven-year sentence for grand
larceny.
Held for action of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation was Henry
White, 26, colored, who was SEN
fenced in June, 1912, to serve from
6 months to IS years for robbery.
Taken to Hospital.
Resident Supt. Edward J. Welch
reconstructed this story from state
ments given by White and other
prisoners:
Newman, White and others were
grouped in the reformatory boiler
room drinking coffee which White
had brought in. One OF the pris-
oners said the coffee was salty and
Newman agreed, leading to an argu-
ment. White said he believed the
others were accusing him of put
ting something in the coffee.
About 1890 Newman went into
the washroom, followed shortly by
White. Five minutes later New
man ran out with bloodstains on
his shirt and ran into the Office
of A. j. Donohue, captain of the
guard. The resident physician was
called and Newman was taken to
the hospital where he died a few
minutes later.
Inflicted With File.
Mr.. Welch said Newman died
from stab wound in the heart in
flicted by an 8-inch rat-tail file.
The superintendent said White told
him he found the file on a work.
bench.
Both White and Newman had
worked in the boiler room since No.
vember II, 1912, but had worked
on the same shift only since last
May Is.
White told Mr.. Welch he believed
the boiler room gang" had it in for
him and wanted him removed from
duty there. The accusation was not
true, the superintendent said.

.CounseIman Pleads
Guilty 10 Violation Of
Meat Ceilings in '43

Ralph P. Counselman, A, former
slaughterhouse operator in the 40C
block of Eleventh street S.W., to-
day pleaded guilty before Justice
David A. Pine in District Court to
43 counts contained in a 1943 in
dictment accusing him of violating
ceiling prices in the sale of veal
The price ceiling violations
amounted to nearly $4,000 in the
sale of approximately $4,000 pounds
Of veal, it is alleged.
Justice Pine referred the case tc
the probation officer for investiga-
tion and set bond at 81 1000, pend
ing sentence. Justice Pine expressed
the view there were unusual cir
cumstances in the ceiling violations
Counselman's attorneys, Michae
F. Keogh and J. Robert Carey, said
their client was admitting sales at
prices the Government alleged. The
attorneys, however, questioned the
validity of the regulation estab-
fishing ceiling prices, and informed
the court that the question of valid
ity still is to be decided by the
United States Emergency Court OF
Appeals in another case.
Still pending against Counselman
is another indictment containing
five counts, accusing him of false
grading of veal. This indictment
was not before the court today.
The Government was represented
by Bernard Margolius, resigned as
sistant United States attorney, who
returned to court to prosecute the
case, and by Assistant Enforcement
Attorney j. Grahame Walker of the

past to use of this particular piece
of park land and have recommended
that a 15-acre tract at the north
east corner of Fort Dupont Park

required, more play space would be
available, and, no streets would
have to be crossed by students.
