HOLLYWOOD, July 17-Under a

HOLLYWOOD, July 17-Under a wood trade papers prints the fol- lowing news item: Jeanette Mac Donald played to capacity audi ences last night at Albert Hall. The American singer, here on a concert tour, was compelled to make a speech to quiet the crowd. Thous- ands of autograph hunters be- seiged her at the stage door dis located traffls.
 That story from England might just as well have been datelined from any one of the American cities where Miss Macdonald has given a concert during the past few years. Her tours have, without exception, been phenomenal tri- umphS. No one who bothers to scan her record can doubt for a moment that she is one of the most popular song-stars in theatrical history.
 Yet Hollywood, for some reason that eludeS me, makes little or no effort to bring Jeanette back where she belongs-on the screen! In stead, it is bringing back a star who has made only four pictures since 1886, the last one of which, made fully five years ago, was a dismal flop A star whose own press agent told me, eight years ago, that she had apparently lost most Of her fans-a star who dis tinguished herself during the war by doing exactly nothing for the entertainment of troops and who today creates hardly a ripple of public excitement when she deigns to rub elbows with the hoi polloi I mean Greta Garbo now set to play the top role in one of David O.

Charter Unit CHARGES
Lee Evades Issue on
Park Planning Setup

The Montgomery County Charter
Committee today charged E. Brooke
Lee, Montgomery County park COM
missioner. with "evading the issue"
in his recent reply to the commit
tees statement that certain func-
tons Of the Maryland National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commits
sion should be transferred to the
county government
"Afraid of Voters"
The charter group declared that
Mr.. Lee not only failed to challenge
the statement but also chose to zig
more" the committees suggestion
that county members of the COM
mission should be appointed by the
county commissioners, and not by
the Governor.
Last week Mr.. Lee asserted the
charter group had not attacked the
record of the commission, but
sought transfer of control to another
agency, preferably themselves. He
said they sought in the coming pri-
mary to attract the votes of Demo-
cratic opponents of the County
Congress and of himself.
Apparently. Mr.. Lee is afraid Of
the voters of Montgomery County" /"
the committee asserted. Under his
leadership, the planning commission
has become political hideout for
one who can't be elected by the peo-
pie. He can only obtain Office
through appointment by the Gov
ernor"
The committee also charged that
the commission has had nearly 20
years to develop a master plan for
the suburban area, but has not yet
completed it.
1T is time the commission's Office
settled down to its real Job Of plan
ming for the county and establish
ing parks" the committee stated,
instead Of being permitted to con-
tinue its efforts to take over many
Of the administrative functions of
the county government. These func-
tions belong to the elected repre-
sentatives of the county voters, not
to State appointed commission"
Park Bonds Cited.
Declaring Mr.. Lee implied in his
answer to the committee that no
park bonds have been issued, the
charter organization said: Several
thousand have been issued and are
still outstanding.
IF more park bonds are to be
issued. let the elected county COM
missioners have the say as to hcw
and when the taxpayers money is to
be spent instead of a State-appoint-
ed bi-county commission, half of
whose members do not even live in

Three Other Children

A 4-year-old colored girl was
burned to death early today as her

stroyed their two-story frame dwell

Arlington S Pension
Plan Called Unfair by
Committee Chairman

Leo c. Lloyd. chairman Of the Ar
lington County Boards Pension
and Retirement Committee today
charged that the present county
government system of providing for
total disability cases among its
employees is most unfair to the
taxpayer, if not illegal"
In the absence of a regular pen
sion and retirement system, he said
the present practice is to keep en-
ployes on the pay roll, although
they are not able to report for
duty.
Replies to Chew.
Crtticizing the recent attack OF
Freeland Chew, another board men,
Der, on the proposed pension plan
"as most untimely and certainly
inconsistent in the light of the
statement he is 100 per cent for
retirement Mr.. Lloyd asserted
there is general county trend to
establish this plan which will pro-
vide employees with a degree of
security in their old age and which
provides yard stick by which
total disability cases could be treated
in fair, business-like manner"
The criticism of Mr.. Chew, he
said, necessarily was based on a
tentative draft of the plan. because
the final bill enacted by the Cen
eral Assembly is not available yet
1T naturally follows" he continued
that there could be no intelligent
Interpretation for the reason that
various amendments were incorpo-
rated in the final act"
Calls Statement in Error.
Mr.. Chew's statement that the full
proposed l0-cent general fund taz
levy increase would be absorbed "is
in error" Mr.. Lloyd said. Careful
accurate calculations reveal that
half the increase will be more thar
sufficient, he continued.
The proposed plan, he said, canno,
guarantee future participation or
the part of the county. According te
the best information, this point is
the same with all municipalities, he
added.
Administrative difficulties refer.
red to by Mr.. Chew, he stated. will
be worked out by the retirement
board which, it is anticipated. will
be made up Of citizens who always
will have in mind the preservation
OF the plan.
Asserting one of Mr.. Chew's a..
legations pointed out that in some
instances retirement benefits anc
pensions would amount to more
than full working income, Mr.. Lloyc
said these examples involved part.
time library employees, with small
annual salaries. "It is not contem.
plated to cover other than full-time
salaried employees" he declared.
Stating that Arlington has to
compete with neighboring communi-
ties to engage competent employees
Mr.. Lloyd concluded that Wash.
ington and Fairfax County "botf
have retirement plans and both art
far more liberal and expensive thar
those proposed for this county,"
