said.
The department action in dis
continuing mass inoculations was
approved by the county commission
ers, who sat as an eX-offcio County
Board of Health, and by the County
Medical Society.
Leading scientific opinion does
not favor anything like universal
vaccination against so-called tick
fever" DR.. Englar stated. Persons
heavily exposed to ticks in areas
where cases of spotted fever have
been reported should, of course, have
the protection"
Private physicians of the county
will administer immunization free
to persons unable to pay for the
service, DR.. Englar said.
Only one case of spotted fever has
been definitely diagnosed in the
county this year, DR.. Englar said.

Miss Nowicki 10 Ask
|CourtReinstatementof Of
$4,000 WiIeyVerdic

Attorneys for. Miss Camille No.
wickl, former Capitol Hill secretary
today planned to ask Justice Jen-
nings Bailey of District Court to
reinstate jury verdict for S22, 1000
in behalf of their client against
Harvey w. Wiley, jr., in a breach of
promise suit.
Justice Bailey yesterday refused
to receive the jury's verdict and de-
clared mistrial, because the Jury
had included $4,000 for aggravated
damages. In addition, the Jury
announced verdict for $40 900 COM
pensatory damages and $4,000 puni-
tive damages.
Regarding the $4,000 for "aggra-
waited damages" Justice Bailey in
formed the jurors they could con-
slider only two kinds of damages,
compensatory and punitive. This,
he pointed out, precluded any finding
.of aggravated damages"
Justice Bailey then told the fury
ito go back and reconsider its verdict.
Immediately after the jury had filed
out of the courtroom, however. At
torney Arthur j. Hilland, represent
ing Mr.. Wiley, asked for a mistrial
on the ground the jury did not un-
derstand the. issues. The jury was
ordered back, and Justice Bailey de-
clared the mistrial.
On the jury foremans note re-
garding the extra $4,000 a notation
was made: "Aggravation caused,
seduction-$2,000."
Justice Bailey. in his final instruc-
tions to the jury before it began
celebrating, pointed out the ques-
ton of seduction could be considered
in arriving at a verdict. Such dam
ages, however. could be compen-
satory and punitive only, he had
explained.
In her suit, Miss Nowicki, who
lives at 174l Lanier place NV,
sought $l50,000 damages from Mr..
Wiley, who lives at 2345 Ashmead
place NV. Miss Nowicki accused
Mr.. Wiley OF being the father of a
son born to her in August, 1916.
Mr.. Wiley vigorously denied on
the stand that he had ever promised
to marry Miss Nowicki. He admit
ted, however, he had been intimate
with her.
Miss Nowicki Is represented by
Attorneys Lester Wood and Joseph
Janousek.

Smith and Gary Face
Contests in Primary:
Sin House Unopposed

Lack OF opposition has assured
five Virginia Representatives of re-
nomination by the Democratic
Party.
Only two incumbents, Representa-
tive Smith, in the 9th district, and
Representative Gary, in the Sd, are
confronted with party contests in
the August 3 primary.

district House nomination was as
sured a few hours before the quail
Tying deadline last midnight, when

mary, and therefore automatically
nominated, are Representative

A. B. & W. Bus Official
Quizzed on Expenses
Al Fare Rise Hearinq

Hearings were resumed before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
today on proposed fare increases for
the Alexandria, Bancroft & Wash
ington Transit Co.
Lester R. oCnley of the Arlington
Public Utilities Commission asked
the company to give monthly &C
counting of bus drivers for this year,
compared with last year. He said
1t was well-known practice for a
carrier to hire drivers and raise ex-
penses when fare increase is being
sought, and then to fire them after
the increase is granted.
A. B. g. w. Attorney Harrison
Kahn said Mr.. Conley had no foun-
dation to make such ridiculous
and absurd" statements.
Mr.. Conley replied he was not
making any charges, but merely
wanted to have the facts available
so they can speak for themselves.
The company agreed on request of
Hearing Officer Henry Lawton to
Introduce bus driver employment
records. Mr.. Lawton denied a re-
quest by Mr.. Conley, however, for an
analysis of hours and wages of the
drivers.
Mr.. Conley asked B. C. May
secretary treasurer and general
manager of the company, how the
companys prsident, R. L. May
earned his s2o,OOO-a-year salary.
The reply was that the president
directs the company's policies,
makes all major decisions and sub
ordinates are responsible to him.
Mr.. Conley asked the general man.
ager If it were true that the presi-
dent spends most of his time in
Florida. The witness, who is the
presidents son, said his father spent
some time there, but not most of it.
Mr.. Conley also brought out on
cross-examination that Mrs. r. L.
May was paid an annual salary of
$4,000 as an officer of the COM
pany.
B. c. May said this was in effect
retirement salary and declared
that his mother had worked night
and day for the company for many
years. Mr. Conley said he knew
that was true.
The company seeks to raise its
present 10-cent rate for rides be-
teen the District and nearby Vir-
ginia points to the equivalent OF
l212 cents. at two tokens for Is
cents. This would not affect fares
between the District and nearby
Virginia Government installations
which are included under another
proceeding before the ICC. Straight
cash fares on the present l0-cent
rides would become 15-cents.
In addition, the company proposes
to abolish the sale of tokens on its
present 15-cent cash fare routes
and to increase the fare to AMMAN
ia le from On IN CS ceptS

ing were Maurice w. Fox and G..

Washington, Alexadnria and Ar

schedule. Falls Church Supervisor
c. B. Runyon was absent.
Six Weeks to Approval.
County Manager r. M. Lo' III
borough outlined the pro ,dure
which would require "at st" six
weeks before daylight me can
officially become effec' We in the
county. He said it first would be
necessary to receive the Governor S
approval, and then an ordinance
effecting daylight time would have
to be prepared and advertised for
public hearing for two weeks in a
weekly newspaper. The board then
would have to wait Is days after
the second date of publication be-
fore holding public hearing. After
that the board would have to adopt
the ordinance and then re-advertise
it for two successive weeks in a
weekly publication before it becomes
effective.
In the meantime, Mr.. Lough-
borough said, county employees
would come to work an hour earlier
and leave an hour earlier on STAN
dard time. which for all practical
purposes, puts them on daylight
time.
Favor State Sales Tax.
All five supervisors at the meeting
yesterday expressed support of a
Virginia sales tax during an in
formal discussion. Mr.. Runyon,
who was not present. earlier had
expressed his support of a sales
tax measure.
Chairman G. Wallace Carper said
he would like to see a sales levy
adopted and the personal property
tax abolished. He said he could
not understand why Robert J. Nc
Candlish. the county's representa-
tive in the House of Delegates had
voted against a sales tax measure
at the recent General Assembly
session. Mr.. Carper said he would
like to see special legislative ses-
sion next year adopt a sales tax.
Commemorative Attorney Hugh
Marsh agreed to serve as chairman
of committee to solicit funds in
Fairfax County for the Arlington
Hospital fund campaign. He asked
the supervisors to work with him
in selecting subcommittee heads to
canvass different areas in the

Lions Are Ready
For Festival Opening
Here Tomorrow Nioht

A bunch Of mighty tired Lions
are starting out of bed early
this morning to put the finishing
,uches in those last-minute pre-
5arations for the Big Event, be-
cause tomorrow night the big
Lions Club annaul Festival will
get underway with a full head
of steam and a full week of en-
tertainment and activity for all.
Actually there is little that
remains to be done, rides are
ready to roll and the exhibition
tent on the high school ground
is already in place. The music
is ready to commence for the
big free street dance which will
raise the curtain on the pro-
gram of events. the boxers are
in their cells flexing their mus
cles for the two Fight Nights,
amateurs are practicing for their
appearance before the footlights
on Talent, fiddlers and "gittar"
players are tunlng up and the
Festival Queens are starting to
look their very prettiest for the
Coronation Ball.
Apparently the Lions of the
Roanoke Rapids Lions Club have
nothing more to do but stand
around and rake in the shekels,
however Lions Huston Fuller,
who is heading the publicity
committee for the annual Festival,
said there are a lot more head
aches in store than just in get
ting the Festival going. He added
that he hopes the part about
the shekels is correct, calling
attention to the charity work
that was done by the Lions
Club during the past year.
Figures of expenditures by the
local club show that $2,723 was
