A telephone call to Walter Reed
Hospital brought the information
that 1t. Col N. G. Lynch was pre-
pared to remove the coin and that
the hospital would request plane
be flown down to Langley Field to
pick the child up. That was not
necessary, Langley Field replied,
Brig. Gen. Ivan Farnam had di-
rected the child be flown to Wash
ington in his CAS-.
The plane landed at Andrews
Field with the warrant officer, his
wife and child. An ambulance was
waiting. The ride to Walter Reed
in the ambulance took little long
er than the air trip.
At the hospital they gave Sharon
a whiff of ether and removed the
nickel Gen. Farnam's plane was
standing by to take her back but
the doctors said she had better re-
main at the hospital overnight. She
will be flown back today.
Mr.. Holmes took the nickel.

Four-year- -old Sharon Holmes got
a 200-mile airplane ride for a nickel
yesterday and it was worth it many
times over.
Sharon confided to her mother at
7:30 am. yesterday that she had
swallowed the nickel and "Its righ,
here, Mommy," she said, pointing
to her throat.
Mrs. Arthur r. Holmes, wife oi
a warrant officer at Langley Field
Va, was shocked. of course. She
had thought her daughter was feel

shots when she complained of feel

Mr.. Holmes jumped up, too. when
he heard about the nickel ano
rushed the youngster out of theil

coin lodged at the junction of the
windpipe and the esophagus. 1t was

Fiscal Survey Advocated.
His six-point program follows:
81: A thorough study of District
of Columbia fiscal affairs. The sew
eral departments of our municipal
government must be supported ade-
quately and revenue must be found
for these imperative purposes. De-
partmental budgets should be eX-
amined carefully and If larger ap-
preparations are the answer. then
additional sources of revenue must
be discovered. AS last resort, some
increase in local taxation may be
considered, but in conjunction with
more equitable Federal Govern
ment payment, accepted by the
Congress as a definite obligation.
The per capita Federal payment
today is IS per cent less than it was
in 1920, our Municipal Finance
Committee recently informed the
House Subcommittee on Appropri-
ations, while per capital general
operating costs have increased so
per cent in the same period.
The time has come to face the
Districts fiscal problems frankly
and do something about them in a
spirit of effective teamwork between
the community, the District gov
ernment, and Congress.
2. The Board of Trade will give
special attention to proposals for
altering the District of Columbia
form of Government. Such plans
should recognize all factors involved
in the extraordinary growth of
Washington and the increasing
complexity of its economic and So
cial structure.
Cooperation Mapped.
3. The Board of Trade will con-
tinue to foster closer cooperation
between all elements in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area-espe-
cially the civic and business organi-
cations in neighboring Virginia and
Maryland. Their leadership and
constructive ideas are essential to
adequate community planning.
4. Our statistical and research
activities must be expanded and
improved, in continuation of the
excellent work begun by the Post

The work of the committee was
stressed by Mr.. McGarraghy in a
six-point program made public after

Also outstanding among his rec
concentrations for board action dur
ing the coming year was his pro-
poSal that District government
agencies and revenues should be
enlarged to meet the needs of the
rapidly growing city.
First he wants the Federal pay
ment towards local costs increased,
but If this fails he recommends
that new local taxation should be
considered, with a sales tax, If
necessary to meet the needs.
Mr.. McGarraghy, as new president,
took the gavel at the meeting of the
board of directors, succeeding B. M.
McKelway, retiring president. Mr.

Strunk, sergeant-at-arms.
\ Five District Natives.
Five of these are natives of Wash
ington, Mr.. McGarraghy, Mr.. Reilly,
Mr.. Siddons, Mr.. Fleming, and Mr..
!, Owen.
In his statement of policies, Mr.
McGarraghy pointed out that Wash

pected to approach a population of
100000 by 1850, while the District
itself probably would maintain its
wartime growth well in excess OF
900 ,00O."

Teachers Stage Revolt
AT Hazardous State
OF Dunbar Stadium

Colored physical education teach
ers have rebelled against what they
term hazardous" faulty sodding
and lack of locker equipment at the
Dunbar High School stadium and
pool. They refuse" to let their
teams play games there till condi-
tions are remedied, their president,
Charles L. Pinderhughes, told The
Star yesterday.
Mr.. Pinderhughes said a group
of teachers who also serve as
coaches had sent letter to Board
Of Education and school officials
last week. protesting that swimming
meets and baseball games scheduled
at Dunbar from this week on should
be cancelled. The next scheduled
event is swimming meet on Fri
day, Mr.. Pinderhughes said.
Promptly DR.. Garnet C. Wilkin-
son. assistant superintendent in
charge of colored schools, called a
meeting of four colored high school
principals at $50 am. tomorrow to
discuss the letter.
Some improvements.
Mr.. Pinderhughes said he under
stood some work is being done to
reSod dangerous" surfaces at the
Dunbar Stadium and to provide
equipment for the "outmoded pool"
However, If these conditions are not
cleared UP soon, Mr.. Pinderhughes
told The Star he could not answer
for the consequences.
Out-of-town teams have refused
to play at Dunbar, the only school
offering recreational facilities for
colored teams other than limited
space at Banneker Junior High
School, Mr.. Pinderhughes said. He
added that he does not believe
school officials can force physical
education teachers to supervise
games against their will, since
teachers are paid "only for class
room work"
The games are voluntary on the
part OF the teachers. Teachers ir
other cities get paid extra TO,

Virginia Apples
Feared Harmed
BY Heavy Frost
Loss Expected to Run
Into Millions; Cold
Snap to End Today

Winds which might have
saved Virginia's apple crop from
being blighted by heavy frosts
early today were dying down late
last night, the Weather Bureau
said, and heavy-to-killing frosts
threatened to wipe out several
millions of dollars worth of
spring crops at their most vul-
nerable stage of development.
Temperatures as low as % and
30 degrees were predicted in the
Shenandoah Valley area, centering
around Winchester in the early
morning hours. Winds of Is miles
per hour, which prevailed until 10
o'clock last night, would have saved
the crop by preventing frost, but the
forecaster said the winds were fast
becoming calm and added that the
situation looks bad"
Crops to Be Hit Hard.
The cold snap which is expected
to end this afternoon in any event
is the direct result of a mass of cold
air which moved down from the
Hudson Bay area of Canada in the
past few days.
"The crops are going to be hit
the Weather forecaster said, "but
to what extent, I cannot say"
Farmers pointed out that the fruit
is just beginning to form on the
trees now and Is at the most vulner-
able stage of development. A severe
frost might wipe out the entire apple
crop and blight the spirit of the
famed Winchester Apple Blossom
festival, scheduled for Thursday and
Friday.
Washington will not be affected
by the cold front. as the forecaster
predicted somewhat warmer wealth
er here for today and tomorrow.
Most of Fruit Unprotected.
Most of the Virginia apple CROP
is unprotected, A. B. Groves, plant
| pathologist of the Winchester Re-
search Laboratory, said last night
pointing out that few growers use
smudge-pots or other articifial
| heating methods.
THE wind has died down up here
almost entirely" Mr.. Groves told
a reporter at 1920 pm. There is
not much we can do but wait"
Mr.. Groves said 25 per cent of the
Northern Virginia apple crop al.
ready has been ruined by spring
frost. He said the critical point j.
