For neatly 5 years now l
have been reading the Detroit

buy a. these stores.

IS only right that some Of this

We should trade more with

Finch Has High Hopes
For Referendum on
New City Charter

Wilbur s. Finch, civic leader, hopes
the House District Subcommittee on
Home Rule and Reorganization of
the city government will submit a
new city charter to the people for
o referendum here.
Mr.. Finch, former president Of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tion and president Of the Central
Suffrage Conference, also told
an American Veterans Committee
group yesterday he has high hopes
that some form of District reorgan-
ization and self-government may be
enacted by the next session of Con-
gress.
Leaders Of the local affairs COM
mittee Of the Washington Area
Council, AVG, before whom Mr..
Finch spoke in the YWCA, dis
cussed preliminary plans to support
home rule legislation when 1t comes
before Congress for action. Maynard
De Witt, local affairs committee
chairman, presided.
Sees No Conflict I'm Bills.
Mr.. Finch said he saw mo con-
hict" between different proposals
for home rule and reorganization
Of the District government, now
pending in the Senate and House
He explained the McCarran bill for
a Federal city charter commission of
II residents Of Washington still was
pending on the Senate calendar
after being approved by the Senate
District Committee. -:
On the House side Of the Capitol,
he said, Representative Auchin-
Gloss, Republican, Of New Jersey,
had just completed hearings by
the House District Subcommittee on
Home Rule and Reorganization, of
which he is chairman.
Halls Auchincloss Job.
Mr.. Auchincloss has done q re-
mendous job-a magnificent job"
declared Mr.. Finch. The subcom-
mittee staff now Is drafting a. bill
for a city charter to be introduced
in Congress next January. Mr.. Finch
explained. While Mr.. Auchincloss
recently had expressed some doubt
about referendum" on the charter,
Mr.. Finch said he feels a referen-
dunn would help the committee get
congressional approval.
Two different plebiscites IN Wash
ington had shown strong public
sentiment here for home rule, MIR.
Finch said. But these were ''un-
official" votes in Washington, he
pointed out. An Official" referen-
dunn ordered by Congress would be
helpful, the speaker thought, in
disclosing statistics about the actual
voting population here.

Grass Controlled
By Use OF 2-4-D

HONOLULU.-(AP). - Growth
OF grass in suger can fields can be
controlled through the use of
PAD. the chemical weed killer.
although sugar cane is grass
and the chemical does not injure
grass under most systems of ap-
plication, says DR.. H. F. Gle
ments. plant psychologist of the
University of Hawaii.
Clements experiments show
that APPLICATION of the chemical
before the grass sprouts can be
made to prevent growth of grass
where IL is not wanted. Several
methods of application have been
used, some of which developed
injuries to the cane plants as well
as controlling the grass.
The chemical has been spread
between cane rows, broadcast
over fields and spread by air.

agree with me there. It seems
pretty plain that all these acci-
dents-this Larson Luck as we've
been calling it-have been aimed
at just one thing: to keep our
outfit from fulfilling its big con-
tract. Whoever is behind it is out
to wreck us. Now that it has
reached the point of murder
there's no denying Norway was
killed because he knew too much
the Larsons aren't going to ask
you to stay on and risk your lives.
But / am. I'm asking you to
fight this thing and lick It. We've
only got week to 60 before all
these logs are fioated down to the
Inlet. Now think it over men,"
The speech was short and
forceful. There was no display
of sudden emotion or swearing
of loyalty. Hardin didn't expect
any. He knew these men were
slow sober thinkers who mulled
things over for hours before
reaching decision. But this time
he was positive what the decision
would be.
The men drifted off and he
turned to Doug, SCOT any ideas?"
Yes, several. I'd like to ex-
anime the ground near where we
found Norway; there might be
something" .
''It's probably pretty well
tramped over by now"
Eyes, but I figure this might
have been tossed into the bushes"
Then you know what you're
looking for?"
Doug nodded. Dynamite fuses"
Hardin whistled softly. "I'll, be
damned! Have you anything to
"Quite a bit. It didn't make
sense at first but now the pieces
are beginning to fall into place.
Let's get going"
AS they walked into the tree
shaded trail Doug told Hardin
what he had learned at Indian
Joe's. He told him about the sew
cred telephone wire and the other
small bits of information that to-
gether added up to a monstrous
plot to gain control of the Larson
Lumber Company.
''The thing is" he reflected,
"that we can't prove any of it.
He's got to give himself away
and that means that we've got to
give him the opportunity. He'll
trap himself"
