Newman Consents
To $4,000 Claim

Harry Newman, owner of a 173-
acre estate in Langley, Va, has con-
sented to a $75,900 judgment en-
tered against him in April, 1943,
by the Federal Court for the West
ern District of Missouri.
The judgment had been awarded
trustees of the Kansas City Journal
Post Co., of which Mr.. Newman was
president, after the firm became
bankrupt in April, 1912.
Mr.. Newman had paid $4,000 of
the judgment and had failed to
pay the remainder, resulting in the
filing of a suit in Federal Court
at Alexandria by William B. Bos-
tian, trustee in bankruptcy of the
Kansas City firm.
The suit alleged that Mr.. New
man withdrew $75,900 from the
Kansas City company in October,
1941. The following month, accord
ing to the suit, he formed the
Habosa Co. and purchased his Lang
ley estate, formerly owned by Percy
L. Crosby, cartoonist.
In consenting to the claim, Mr..
Newman permitted the Fairfax
County property to be placed in
trust for the benefit of the judg-
ment. j. Randall Cation, Alexandria
attorney representing Mr.. Bostian,
estimated the value of the estate
at approximately $150,000.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 9.-In a move
to help solve the housing problem
for veterans of World War II. Gov
O'Conor today authorized establish
ment within the Maryland Veterans
Commission of a housing agency
charged with obtaining listing "as
complete as possible" of available
properties.
The Governor announced the de-
cision after conferring in his Balti-
more Office with Joseph A. Cantrel,
chairman of the Veterans Commits
sion, and Richard c. Manning, State
service officer of the commission.
The meeting followed a series of con-
ferences held by the Governor with

The new agency will maintain liai-
son with housing authorities in Bal
timore, the Federal Housing Admin
istration, real estate interests and

D. {. Liquor Leakage
To Other States Can't
Be Halted, West Says

The District is powerless to pre-
vent the flow of liquor from city
retail stores to other States under
existing regulations.
Corporation Counsel Vernon West
has ruled, it was learned yesterday,
that SO long as the sale is consum-
mated here nothing and be done to
prevent the liquor from being taken
across District boundaries into other
States.
Local retailers, however, are not
authorized to deliver liquor across
the District line in violation of ad-
jacent State laws, it was said.
A check last fall by William Mere
dith Of the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board showed more than $500
gallons in case lots were sold to
out of the District consumers in one
month, whereas only 2,455 gallons
went to local consumers.
The amount sold to out -of-town
consumers in less than case lots
cannot be estimated, he indicated
because dealers are required to file
sales slips only on lots of IL bottles
or more. Board Chairman Alan
Payne said, 1--WE know that stores
have been selling only ii bottles to
any single customer so they would
not have to report sales"
No proposed changes in regula-
tions to meet the situation are under
consideration, Mr.. Payne said.
Mr.. West said he felt it would be
impossible to make the dealers re-
sponsible for determining the desti-
nation of the liquor they sell.

New 7ronsIotions Would Help
Opera; Rise Stevens Says
Stor, Here for Concert
Today, Cites Present
Stilted English

Wanted: Accomplished poet
translators to produce English ver-
sions of classical opera libretti, no
second-raters; those willing to be
paid in self-satisfaction preferred. -
Miss Rise Stevens, mezzo-soprano
star of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, radio and films, says the work
neds doing. but she is afraid the
right people for the job are not in
clined to divert their talents from
more lucrative channels. She Of
fered the observation during an in
terview yesterday when asked one of
the standard inquiries for visiting
opra singers-"Wouldn't more people
in this country be attracted to opera
if they could understand the story?"
Mentions Hammerstein.
II think man like Hammerstein
could do it," the attractive star said.
Oscar Hammerstein II. successful
musical comedy librettist, probably
would ask more than anyone in the
opera business could pay, "and
don't blame him." she added.
Miss Stevens point was that vir-
tually all efforts to translate the
operas have been from the literal
approach and have resulted in stilted
versions lacking the style" of the
original language.
Whether or not any large-scale,
effective translating is done, Miss
Stevens will not worry about the
future of opera in the United States.
The Nets boxoffce is excellent these
days.
Television eventually may make
the pageantry of opera available
widely, she suggested.
