brother and the other relatives for
the first time in a Baltimore get

laughter.
Two days before Miss Rosenheim

10-day-old baby as solace for the
death of her own baby, and then

This strange story, unfolded at

Rosenheim stumbled onto her twin

was a great secret in her life, Miss
Rosenheim went to Baltimore in

Her mother" had said that Mr..
Gum was born on the same day

Father Rescues Five
'0f6Chi|dren and Wife
In Fire, Dies Of Burns

A 51-year-old father who made
repeated trips into his flaming
Maryland home to rescue his wife
and five of his six children, died
yesterday of burns suffered in the
fire which also took the life of his
youngest son.
He was Sylvester Hester, colored,
who died in Gallinger Hospital
a few hours after the heroic rescue
work at his one-story frame home
in Glen Arden, set abaZe by a
bolt of lightning. Mr.. Hester's body
was 80 per cent covered with burns
when he was admitted to the
hospital.
Although the father managed to
rescue five children and his wife,
he apparently was unable to reach
e-months-old Cephus, whose body
was found in crib by firemen after
they had extinguished the blaze.
Mrs. Hester, AZ, and a 2-year- -old
daughter, Elizabeth, we're injured in
the fire which started about 4:30
am. but was out of control by the
time flremen arrived.
Fire companies from West Lam
ham, Seat Pleasant, Landover Hills
and Bladensburg were forced to
fight the blaze with water from
wells and booster tanks on their en-
gines because the Glen Arden COM
munity has no water system. The
town is about 6 miles east of Seat

Plant Employing 500
Closed in Martinsburq

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Aug. 2.
at the Berkeley Woolen
Co. plant here have been suspended
indefinitely because of lack of Or
ders, company officials announced.
The plant employs about 500 per-
sons and is subsidiary Of the Vir.
ginia Woolen co. in Winchester,
Va.
Company officials said plant shut
downs are not limited to this area.
They said the woolen industry
throughout the country is finding it
difficult to continue operations.
They added that a large number Of
plants already have been closed.
officials traced the lack Of orders
partly to the high percentage OF
rejects" or seconds" which they
said have been turned out by the
plant. A company official blamed
this on a combination of inferior
material and workmanship.
A company statement said:
1--WE are treating this as perma-
nent closedown but undoubtedly
there will be sufficient amount Of
orders coming through eventually
to bring about a reopening"
The Virginia plant is curtailing
operations slightly but officials said
a complete stoppage there is not
contemplated.
A new subsidiary plant at Mid
dleway, w. Va, will be known as
Varel Mills, Inc, ana will employ
about rs persons, officials said. 1t

1880 Ukrainian DPS
Arrive Next Month
On Maryland Farms

Fifteen hundred displaced Ukrain-
ian farmers will arrive in Baltimore
next month to work on Maryland
farms, the Baltimore Sun said to-
day.
The immigrants, some with
families, will leave Bremen about
the last week in August, according
to a dispatch from William j. Per-
Kinson, Sun staff correspondent,
from Frankfurt, Germany.
The displaced persons will be the
first Ukrainians ii leave Germany
under the provisions OF the new
displaced persons law.
According to Roman Smook, di-
rector of European relief operations,
the United Ukrainian-American Re-
lief Commission is anxious to create
a good impression and is carefully
culling the Maryland-bound dis
placed persons from 10000 Ukrain-
ians in 48 camps in the American
zone of Germany.
Will Have One-Year Contracts.
The displaced persons will have
labor contracts for, one year. The
contracts call for lodging and shell
ter and some pay. The pay scale
is not set, and varies, MIR. Smook
stated.
The UkrainianS are more anxious
to find a place to start life over
again than they are in getting good
pay he pointed out.
The passage to America will be
paid by the International Refugee
Organization, and the fare from
Baltimore to the farms will be paid
by the employer and charged against
the workers wages.
The arrangements to send the
displaced persons to Maryland were
worked out between Gov. Lane and
DR.. Waiter Calm of Philadelphia,
executive director of the relief COM
mission. Farm leaders in Maryland
also took part in this planning, Mr..
Smook says.
To Set Pattern.
He emphasized that his first ship
ment is an experiment which will
set the pattern for immigration to
other States of about 10000 other
UkranianS.
He praised Gov. Lane and the farm
leaders for their cooperation.
Maryland is the first State to
offer such a generous program right
off the hat" he said. "It took the
initiative without waiting, like some
other states, to see what will hap
pen"

looked like my twin, too, except his
eyes are blue and mine are brown" ="
And to top it of, Miss Rosen-
helm said she now has the privilege
of changing her name without the
inconvenience of marriage. She is
trying to accustom herself to the
surname of Gum, which she will
use exclusively once she navigates
the red tape involved in changing
insurance policies, other documents
and Government personnel papers.
Miss Rosenheims story-book life
began in Memphis, Tenn, where
her mother allowed her sister-in-
law. Mrs. Lulu Rosenheim, to take
the infant for early rearing.
I'VE all lived in the same town
and there was no thought but what
eventually I would be turned back
to my real mother" Miss Rosen-
helm said she has learned.
Convinced Husband Child Was His.
She believed Mrs. Rosenheim con-
vinced her husband, travelling
man, that the child was his own.
Her foster parents moved from
Memphis, living first in Louisville,
then in Indianapolis, South Bend
and Chicago. Her aunt was careful
to keep their whereabouts a secret
from her mother, she said.
Her foster father died when she
was IA, but her aunt continued to
rear her as her own. They once
returned to Memphis to live, but by
then her real family had moved to
Baltimore. In 1886 Miss Rosenheim
came to Washington. She now lives
at 1887 Rhode Island avenue NV.
Yesterday she revealed her dis
covery to her aged foster mother,
now an invalid. Instead of the
shock reaction she feared, Miss
Rosenheim said her aunt took the
news calmly and seemed to have
a burden lifted from her mind"
In addition to her true mother,
Mrs. Catherine Wildberger, who re-
married after her husbands death,
Miss Rosenheim's new family con-
sists of the twin brother, sisters,
Is nieces and nephews and great
nieces and nephews. Two other sis

Rain Fails to Curb Enthusiasm
OfExhibitors at DairyGoo Show

A drenchiAg rain and crowded

the enthusiasm of exhibitors at the
first dairy goat show staged in an
indoor ring at the Dunn Loring

More than SIS goats of the four

Some independent leaders were

accepted this deal and have been
working ever since to sell this deal
to the Citizens Committee for
School Improvement and the Better
Government League.
when this deal was starting out,
I was asked to support Potter. I
did my best to make it clear that

At the same time two Virginia bus
lines ended the sale of three tickets

Court Hears Transit Suit.
A three judge court today began
a hearing on Capital Transit's suit
to end the joint fare with the Vir-
ginia companies. Initial step by
the transit company was to be a
request for an order temporarily
staying the ICC's order for the joint
fare on three days notice to the
commission.
Subsequent steps outlined in the
companys petition would be an in
junction suspending the ICC order
for the joint fares and ultimately a
ruling holding the order void. The
company has attacked the joint fare
as confiscatory and on other
grounds.
Under the joint fare in effect
until today bus riders between
Washington and the Pentagon and
other Government installations in
Virginia, who used Capital Transit
facilities for part of their trip, paid
a fare of 1873 cents. Capital Tran
sits share was 5.83 cents.
Under the fare in effect today.
Capital Transit's share is 7 cents
of the 16 cents per ride.
Three Judges Named.
The three judge court to hear
Capital Transit's suit is composed
of Justices Alexander Holtzof and
Edward A. Tamm of District Court
and Justice Wilbur x. Miller Of
the United States Court of Appeals.
Last Monday Justice Holtzoff, sit
ting alone, heard an earlier petit
tion by the transit company. That
suit had asked declaratory judg-
ment deciding whether the COM
pany should obey the ICC joint fare
ruling or a District Public Utilities
Commissions order to charge a
straight l0-cent fare and not par
ticipate in a joint fare.
The company also asked tenn
porary injunction against the ICC
order, Justice Holtzof denied this
but offered to issue such an order
against the PUG, which would have
protected Capital Transit from PEN
alties for failure to observe the
PUC's instructions. The PUG said
it would not invoke the penalties
and Capital Transit thereupon de-
clined to ask for an order against
the District regulatory agency.
A three-judge court is provided
for cases in which petitioners ask
that ICC orders be suspended or set
aside.
