The blacksmith very orten was

said that working in iron gave him
Drawn and muscle 1t was probably
this that prompted the poet, Long
fellow, to write the poem, familiar
to every school boy:
'Under the spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands:
The smith, mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands.
And the muscles of his brawny arms,
Are Strong as iron bands"
The sparks would fly in every di-
rection, bouncing against the black
smiths leather apron while he
pumped the bellows with one hand,
piled fresh Goals on the fire and
hammered on the red hot steel to
fashion it into the shape desired In
this process of making wagon axle,
or sharpening a pillow share.
Perhaps the sound made by the
blacksmith and his helper, alternat-
ing a light and heavy stroke, can
yet be heard in fancy if you were

ton was scheduled for arraign-
ment here today on a murder
charge in his 4-year-old daugh-

When Franklin D. Roosevelt was
elected President, DR.. Boone was
transferred to the hospital ship
Relief and reverted to his per-
manent rank of commander.
He received the Bronze Star for
helping plan the occupation of
Japan and for improving the
medical organization of the Sd
Fleet.
His appointment on September
l. 1949, as chief of planning and
joint action programs in the De-
fense Departments Medical Serv-
ices Division foreshadowed a bit
ter note in his career.
Appeared Before House.
On March 8, 1850, he appeared
before the House Armed Services
Committee to say that he was to
be relieved of his Defense Depart
ment post because defense leaders
thought he was unco-operative.
But he said he was unable to get
any information as to when and
how he had failed to cooperate.
Admiral Boone admittedly was a
critic of cutbacks in Defense De-
partment hospital facilities. He
told the committee that DR.. Rich
ard L. Melting, director of Defense
Department Medical Service, had
demanded his removal. Most Of
the hospitals ordered closed have
been reopened since the Korean
conflict.
Admiral Boone was transferred
and named inspector of the Navy
Medical Corps. In this role, he
recently made an inspection trip
to the Korean front, where he
visited all types of hospitals
ashore and af1oat.
The Admiral and his wife, the
former Helen E. Koch of Potts
vile, Pa, live at 1000 Cathedral
avenue NV. His daughter, Mrs.
Milton F. Heller. jr., and two
granddaughters, live in San Ma
teo, Calf.

The study, made Jointly by the
National Park Service and the
Bureau of Public Roads, takes the
parkway from Great Falls, where
it would tie In with the George

From there. the parkway would
follow the banks of the canal to
Rushville. also known as Violet's
Lock, near Seneca, where there
would be another recreation area.
The canal already has been re-

The long-dormant C&O Canal
parkway project from Great Falls
to Cumberland, Md. was revived
last summer, when Congress voted
to allow the National Park Service
to accept land to augment the

Charge Is Dropped
Against Mrs. Chavez

A charge of being drunk in
public filed against Mrs. Imelda
Chavez, wife Of the Democratic
Senator from New Mexico, was
withdrawn today.
Paul George Varoutsos, as
sistant Commonwealth's attorney,
nolle pressed the charge in Ar
lington County Court. He said
he made no objection when Frank
Ball, jr.. attorney for Mrs. Chavez,
moved to reopen the case. But
Mr.. Varoutsos refused to give any
reason.
MIR. Ball said, he was not paid
to represent Mrs. Chavez but Of
fered his services after he learned
"a substantial injustice has been
DONE"
The charge against Mrs. Chavez
grew out Of an automobile accident
November %. She forfeited 1925
collateral last week.
Her son, Dennis, jr., SO, was ar
ra1gned in County Court yester-
day. but his trial was postponed
to December 13 after a new
charge of drunken driving was
placed against him in the sams
accident. He previously had been
charged with reckless driving and
being drunk in public. Mr.. Var
outsos said those two charges
would be dropped at the time of
the trial.
Mr.. Varoutsos said yesterday
that he had been told Mrs. Chavez
does not drink and that the police
man who brought the charge might
have been misled because she
speaks with a Latin American ac-
cent and may have been stunned
by the accident.

Scarcity Keeps

InDistrictArea
Pork Is Only Meat
Showing Declines
To Any Extent

Scarcity of eggs in this area
kept retail prices unchanged or
sent them slightly higher in
Washington stores today, despite
a dip of from 2 to 6 cents dozen
in some other sections of the East.
Large grade A eggs sold at
about 80 cents a dozen in one
large retail chain group here,
about 2 cents above last weeks
listing. Dealers explained, how
ever, that there has been no gen.
eral increase since last week when
some egg prices rose as much as
10 cents a dozen.
Agriculture Department experts
said the egg supply should be
more plentiful in December.
Pork Shows Decline.
Pork was the only meat product
that showed any appreciable
change in retail prices here this
week. One chain organization re-
ported drops between 6 and 10
cents on some center chops and
whole loin roasts but noted that
those reductions did not reflect
any such trend in the pork mar
ket generally.
Recent storms and low tenn
peratures had only slight effect
on food supplies and prices, even
in New York and other severely
hit areas, Agriculture Department
market analysts said.
Perishables Move Slowly.
Trading in perishable foods
slowed almost to a stop in many
marketing centers as housewives
apparently stayed home and fed
their families from stocks on their
Shelves" they said. This kept the
pressure off stores which were
unable to get their usual supplies.
Many stores at midweek were still
selling produce. for example,
which they had stocked for the
heavy Saturday shopping that
didn't develop"
Foods expected to be plentiful
IN December, according to Agri-
culture Department experts, In
clude hens, broilers. fryers, tur-
keys, pork, fresh and frozen fish,
cheese, cabbage, carrots, onions,
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, ap-
pies. cranberries, oranges, grape

Marines to Hail Greatest Hero,
Admiral Boone, Navy Doctor
Physician to Three
Presidents Served
At BeIIeuu Wood

The Marine Corps this after
noon will honor a man it consid-
ers one of its greatest heroes, even
though he is a naval officer.
The man is Rear Admiral Joel
T. Boone, the most decorated doc
tor in naval history and physician
to three Presidents. He retires to-
morrow after 36 years in the Navy.
During World War I, Admiral
Boone served as a doctor with the
9Th Marines in France. He was a
small. slender man of % with
penetrating, deep-set eyes and
hair as black as the coal mined
around his home town of st. Clair,
Pa.
Aid Station Shelled.
1t was in June of 1918 and his
outfit was fighting at Belleau
Wood that the Marines first no.
ticed his courage. He was treating
wounded in a regimental aid sta
ton. Suddenly shell whistled in
and blew up the station.
Heavy timbers and stone fell
and killed 10 men. But the young
doctor kept working. The next day
the same thing happened in a
newly established aid station.
Again he stayed at his post.
He was awarded the Distin-
guished Service Cross.
A month later, the 9Th Marines
were fighting near Vierzy. A num-
ber of Marines lay wounded in an
open field. Enemy fire poured onto
the field, which was covered by a
heavy mist of gas.
Disregard for Safety.
with absolute disregard for
personal safety, ever conscious
and mindful Of the suffering
fallen, he left the shelter of q
ravine. went forward into the open
field, where there was no protec-
ton, and despite the extreme
enemy fire of all calibres, through
a heavy mist of gas. applied dress
ings and f1rst-aid to the wounded
Marines.
That was the way his citation
read when he received the Con-
gressional Medal of Honor.
These are two of the reasons
that the Marine Corps comman-
dant, Gen. Clifton B. Gates, will
be Admiral Boone's host at a
farewell ceremony and parade at
3 pm. tomorrow at the Marine
Barracks, Eighth and I streets Sc
Other Citations.
| Among the other citations Ad-
miral Boone received while serving
with the Marines were the Silver
Star with five Oak Leaf Clusters,
the Purple Heart with two Oak
Leaf Clusters, plus special cita-
tions from Gen. John j. Pershing
Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, U. s
M. c., and others.
Admiral Boone is 81 now, and
MS hair and muStache are gray,
but he lacks none of the energy
that has marked his career since
he joined the Navy after being
graduated from Hahnemann Med
ical College. Philadelphia, in 1913
After his return from France in
1919, he became director of naval
affairs for the American Red
Cross. Then, in 1922, he became
medical officer aboard the presi-
dental yacht Mayhower. In this
position he was physician to Presi-
dents Harding and Coolidge. And
when the position OF physician tc
the White House was established
he became the personal physician

of the length of the canal but
points out that a second roadway
might be necessary within a short
time. A dual highway is proposed
