Dog Owners Cooperation
In Anti-Rabies Drive Urged

The number of dogs inoculated in
the anti-rabies campaign in the
District is not as large as was ex-
pected, and DR.. Reid NJ Ashworth.
chief veterinarian of the Health
Department fears that In the last
minute rush, some of the dogs will
not be treated and their owners
will become subject to fines.
The number of dogs inoculated
up to and including Wednesday was
9052. One day was lost on account
of rain. Last year about $4,000
dogs were treated with anti-rabies
serum. Including this afternoons
session of the IL clinics, there are
only seven days left In the campaign.
If il rains on any of these days,
the clinic will not be held because
they are all in the open. The
clinics are open on Monday, We'd
nesday and Friday from 4 to 6 pm.
The reduction in the number OF
cases of rabies reported in the past
three years attests to the value OF
having immunized against rabies
DR.. Ashworth said I'VE plan to
continue the campaign and are ex-
pecting that We will inoculate the
same number of dogs this year
that we did last year. The CO.
operation of dog owners is essential,

What better setting could there
be-" Mr.. Labrot asked, lin which
to exhibit to the thousands who
would be attracted here. the things
nature has provided to make Mary
land great in material wealth.
To provide access to open areas
within the park, Mr.. Labrot has
suggested building a road to con-
meet with Richie highway, which
would be the main artery to the
area. Existing paths through the
woods might be converted into bride
paths.
Robert Moses, New York park en-
gineer, is recommended by Mr..
Labrot for the task of planning the
new development, which he would
have supervised by flve-nember
board appointed by Gov. Lane.
AS chairman of the Park Board,
Mr.. Labrot would like to have the
Governor appoint the president OF

Colasanto testified that he ordered
the arrest because no city license
was obtained. Mr.. Fowler said the
Alexandria case paralieled one
originating in Lockport, N. Y. in
which the Supreme Court ruled a
local ordinance was unconstitu-
tional.
Granting the motion, Judge Dun
can commented:
1T looks to me like the Supreme
Court already has decided this
issue"
Mr.. Cronin, who won election as
an antiorganization candidate, said
he tried to tell police the sound
truck ordinance is unconstitutional.
Police Chief Denies Politics.
Mr.. Hart. who had been cam
paigning with Mr.. Cronin in Alex
andria and Arlington from the bus
without interruption all morning,
saw in the arrest an attempt to
quash his only means of reaching
the people"
Police Chief Edgar Sims said
there was nothing political about
the arrest. He declared it was strict
ly routine for police to check up on
sound truck operators to see if they
have permits, and in cases where
they found no permits to enforce
the law.
The candidate said he could not
afford newspaper advertisements or
expensive radio broadcasts.
1T just shows what one must
go through to fight the Byrd-Tuck
machine in order to stimulate inter-
est in government" Mr.. Hart as
serted.
Mr.. Cronin said the sound bus
had been used throughout the State
without interference. He added that
the privilege of using it had never
been abused.
I'VE have used it everywhere

Move for Rent-Free Residence
For Vice President Revived

As a retaliatory move, Mrs. Hen
derson revealed publicly for the first
time that Mrs. Wholean was an
adopted child. She drew up a new
will, renouncing her guardianship,
disinheriting Mrs. Wholean and
naming as one of the principal heirs
her secretary and confidential adj
wiser, Jesse S. Shima, a young Jap
anese law student. Only after a
long court fight was Mrs. Wholean
restored as an heir after Mrs. Hen
dersons death.
Patterned on Elkins Bill.
That explosion seems to have
chilled any attempts to house the
Vice President officially until yester-
days revival. Representative Gear
hart fashioned the new proposal
along the lines of that introduced in
April, 1921, by Senator Elkins of
West Virginia. That try never got
out of committee.
Mr.. Gearhart pointed out that
many Vice Presidents have not been
wealthy enough to live. in the style
to- which Washington is accustomed
7 He recalled that John N. Garner
lived in "a couple of rooms" in the
Washington Hotel, that Charles
Curtis made the Willard Hotel his
headquarters.
Others, like Henry Wallace who
dwelt in a Wardman Park Hotel
suite. had the means to operate as
he wished. Then there was Levi P.
Morton. Grover Clevelands second
Vice President, who erected a man
sion for himself at Scott Circle.

By Nelson NJ Shepard

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission faced further
delay today in completing the first
draft of its master plan for develop
ment of the Washington Metropoli-
tan Area.
The commission previously had
hoped the July session, ending to-
day, would find the first phase of
the voluminous report ready.
Changes necessitated from time to
time, however, have slowed up pro-
cedure.
The commission spent the entire
morning reviewing maps and ma
terial for the plan and discussing
various chapters. These are still in
the process of being edited.
Covers Whole d. c. Area.
Harland Bartholomew of ST.
Louis. engaged by the commission
as chief consultant in drawing up
the plan. is in constant touch with
the Federal group.
Plans for the entire area within
a 20-mile radius of washington are
being co-ordinated with those of
appropriate planning agencies in
Maryland and Virginia.
The master plan for Washington,
for which Congress failed to supply
funds for printing. will include pro-
visions for future Government
buildings. highways, schools and
utilities.
Maryland Park Purchases.
Initial steps for the acquisition
of four more small stream valleys
in nearby Maryland suitable for
park development were disclosed
today by Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant Ill,
commission chairman.
Gen. Grant identified the streams
as follows: Oxon Run and Paint
Branch an extension of the Ana
costa River, both in Prince Georges
County, and Little Falls Branch and
Willett Run. in the general neigh
borhood of Cabin John. Montgomery
County.
The Federal group discussed
ways of amending the basic agree
ment under which Capper-C Cram
ton Act lands have been acquired
since 1880. Meeting with them
yesterday afternoon were j. Bond
Smith and Warren Buckler, legal
representatives of the Maryland
NCPPC.
New Agreement Discussed.
A new agreement under which
the Maryland Commission can Der
row Federal funds and the amounts
required for each of the park de-
velopments was discussed.
Gen. Grant also revealed the
commission was authorized to pay
the undisclosed appraised price"
for 47,716 square feet abutting Nit
chell Park on S street west of
Twenty-third street NV. Held by
the Alien Property Custodian, the
land is part of plot formerly owned
by the German Embassy.
The, District Recreation Board has
been operating it under permit
from the Alien Property Custodian.
The planning commission also ap-
proved a request of the Recreation
Board to change the Park View
Playground and the Blow School
Playground from white to Negro
use. The former is located near
Soldiers Home: the latter, on Ben
ming road extended.

neSseS
With almost positive information
that two off duty policemen were
involved in the shooting. homicide
squad members sought to identify

ChestFederation
Fund Goal Set
AT $4,000,
Budget Committees
Figure Adopted As
Minimum Needed

The Washington area goal for tho
1949 Community Chest Federation
fund campaign this fall is s4,509, ITO.
The figure recommended by the
federation Budget Committee was
adopted by the Executive Commit
tee yesterday at a meeting in the
American Security & Trust Co.
Building. 730 Fifteenth street NV.
Col. Chauncey G. Parker, director
Of administration of the World
Bank, who is the general campaign
chairman. stressed that the amount
represents the least that would meet
the minimum needs of the six par
ticipating Chests and the hospital
ization fund.
The Chests are those of Alexan-
dria, Arlington, Fairfax, Prince
Georges and Montgomery Counties
and the United Community Services
of Washington.
Largest Peacetime Fund.
The goal, nearly $l.200000 more
than was raised in last falls CAM
paign, is the largest to be sought
here except during wartime. Col.
Parker pointed out, nevertheless, it
is 100000 less than the total
amount asked by the Chest agencies
and the disqualification fund.
Principally responsible for the In
crease is the $850,000 to be made
available from campaign funds next
year to IA Washington area hospitals
for treating INDECENT patients.
The solvency of our hospitals Is
dependent upon the community re-
Spouse to this goal" Col. Parker
said. Our health, welfare and
recreation agencies will be able
to carry out a minimum program
of services only. Both can be ac-
complished only If the goal is fully
subscribed"
Outlining suggestions on how the
goal can be achieved. Col. Parker
said it could be raised through
several means, including:
| An average increase of 10 per
cent over the individual and busi-
ness pledges of last year, to meet
increased costs of agencies services
and proportionate additional
amount to meet the disqualification
fund need.
Days Pay Proposed.
Increased participation Of busi-
ness and business employees.
Contributions of minimum of a
days tak-home pay by employees
of business and Government who
last year gave under IS. There
were 158,250 contributions under IS
last year.
Pledges rather than cash con-
tributions, with installment pay
ments over q years period.
Payroll deduction of pledges fok
business Arm employees whenevef
requested assSsasssS ss7<ss~ esss
Greater attention by business and
Government executives in the or
ganization ! OF i solicitation effort
within their Offices.
Greater labor union member par
ticipation in all phases of campaign
organization.
Lee D. Butler. president of the
Washington Chest, whose functions
are being taken over by the new
United Community Services, told
the meeting: I'VE must realize the
only hope. we'll have to raise this
amount is for every board of every
hospital and every agency, and
every self-respecting citizen in
Washington to really get out and
work in this campaign
Budget Committee members have
pointed out the goal will allow
for no expansion OF services by the
various agencies but is necessary, II
they are to go back to approximate
l947 levels, in view of high prices
and budget cuts for this years
