Ordinance Planned
To Combat Dangers
To Health in Fairfax

DR.. Fred Heath, Fairfax County
health officer, has been authorized
by the Board of Supervisors to
prepare a proposed ordinance re-
gulating public health nuisances.
At the boards meeting yester-
day, DR.. Heath said he had found
the county has no legal grounds
for regulating bad drainage condi-
tions, careless storing of garbage
and other health hazards.
Another request of DR.. Heath'S
was deferred, at least for the
present. Arthur I. Shaffer, Mount
Vernon District supervisor, sue
cessfully urged postponement of a
proposal that the county authorize
water suppliers to f1uoridate water
coming into the area.
Cities Approval Elsewhere.
DR.. Heath said the District
Commissioners, the Arlington
County Board and the City of
Alexandria already have approved
fuoridation as method of pre-
venting tooth decay.
Mr.. Shaffer and Lee District
Supervisor E. c. Sheads said they
wanted more time to study the
process. Other board members
agree to postpone action.
The board asked DR.. Heath and
Miss r. Mary Beacham. head Of
the county welfare department, to
prepare statistics on the proper
ton of the work performed by
their departments in the city OF
Falls Church. Mr.. Shaffer said
he does not believe the city is
paying an adequate proportion OF
the cost of these services.
May Ask Conference.
G. Wallace Carper of ProVi-
dence district, the board chair
man, said that. if the statistics
bear out Mr.. Shaffer's contention
the supervisors will ask the city
council for a conference.
Information was presented tt
the board on a proposed freeze or
natural gas consumption in the
Washington area. Mr.. Carpe1
said the issue is apparently a dis.
pute between two gas companies
and other board members agreed
No action was taken.
The Virginia Gas Transmission
Corp, a subsidiary of the vast Co.
Ilumbia Gas System, Inc, has Pc
titioned the State Corporation
Commission to forbid the Rosslyr
Gas Co. to install gas furnaces ir
homes, convert oil or coal furnace:
to gas, or increase industrial anc
commercial gas consumption.

posed restrictions.

Mr.. Corbett only once and the

denied he had kicked Mr.. Corbett,
as the prosecution had contended.
Mr.. Thomas first went on trial
on the more serious charge of
second-degree murder, but Judge
David A. Pine. who presided at
the trial, knocked out that charge
on a motion by Defense Attorney
James c. Toomey on the ground
no malice had been shown.
Besides contending his client
had struck in self defense. Mr..
Toomey argued that Mr.. Corbett
had not died as a result of the
blow.

lived in the 1900 block Of Four
teenth street NV, reported for
work at the Westminster Press,

ture.

New G-Mun In Star Games Again
AshenfeIter, Beaten Last Year
By Barry, Hoping for Revenge

The FBI now has another
"Flying G-Man." Horace Ashen-
felter, who today starts work as
a brand new Federal agent in
Boston. AS far as his Govern
ment assignments allow, the sor-
mer Penn State distance star
plans another busy track season
starting with The Evening Star
Games January 13 at the Armory.
The newest Flying G-Man"
Erred Wilt was the originaD has
entered the 2-mlie race in The
Star meet, the same event in
which he was a party to <the most
thrilling of last years finishes.
Ashenfelter doesn't recall it as
much of a thrill. however, as he
led all the way until Ireland's
John Joe Barry came from be-
hind to win in the last yard or so.
Barry will be back for this years
2-mile so something special is
expected in the way of a race
when these two hook up again.
They pad pretty nice series
around the country's tracks last
year, The Irishman had the In
dian sign on Ashenfelter for
awhile. beating him five times in
indoor meets. Later Ashenfelter
took over and beat Barry three
times in outdoor meets and now
with the indoor season starting
again has hopes he can continue
his streak on the boards.
Talks of Track Ambitions.
Passing through Washington en-
route to his new assignment,
Ashenfelter talked freely but mod
estly of his track ambitions. If
his Government work will let him,
he wants at least two more full
seasons leading up to the 1852
Olympics. He is long way from
making up his mind about which
event he'll specialize on for the
Olympics and between now and
then will try all distances from
5000 meters to 10000, not exclud-
ing the steeplechaSe.
He seems to have a little yearn-
ing for the spectacular steeple-
chase run although he hasn't
done much with the hurdles and
water jumps so far. About the
first time he tried it was in last
summers National AAU cham
pionship meet at College Park,
where he finished back in the
pack some place. That was the
same meet in which he won the
National 10000 crown.
He seemed to like the steeple-
chase, however. and might con-
centrate a bit more on It this
summer. The indoor board meets
come first, though, and this new
Oman sees busy season of COM

Royals Spurt Despite
Loss Of High Scorer,
Win Seven Straight
BY the Associated Press

The Rochester Royals have par
layed a seven-game winning
streak into a 21a-game lead over
Minneapolis in the Western Divi-
sion of the National Basketball
Association. And. as usually is the
case in such spurts, they've done
it the hard way, playing without
Bob Davies. captain and high
scorer.
Davies has missed Rochester's
last four games. He suffered a
compound fracture of the middle
finger in game against Fort
Wayne last Wednesday. Doctors
said he'd be out three weeks.
But this, apparently, hasn't hurt
the Royals. If anything, it's made
them play harder.
Take last night. Rochester en-
tertained a hot New York Knick-
erbocker Club. The Royals blew an
early lead, but rallied to win in
overtime. 91-88.
Red Holtzman's set shot tied
the score for Rochester at 81-all
and sent the game into overtime.
Then Bobby Wanzer. Davies I'M
derstudy. dropped in five straight
foul shots in the extra period to
give the Royals their 10Th victory
against 10 losses. Arnie Risen,
with 2S points. topped the Roch-
ester marksmen.
Minneapolis dropped an 1910
decision to Fort Wayne as George
Mikan scored only 13 points. Fort
Wayne. in swapping a four game
losing streak, defeated Minneap-
oils for the third time this season.

petition against such as Barry.
Wilt, Curtis Stone. Browning Ross
and John Twomey.
Ross is due here for the Emile.
which is another reason that
event shapes up as great race.
Makes No Predictions.
Ashenfelter lis making no pre-
dictions about how he'll do
against the rather stiff competi-
ton he'll meet in The Star Games
and other meets on the indoor
circuit, but he believes he might
have just a little edge on condi-
tion right now. He just has fin
ished the FBI training course at
Quantico. and everybody who
comes out of that course is in top
physical trim.
He weighs about $50 pounds.
and at the end of an arduous IL
or 15-week indoor season he
doesn't expect to be trimmed
down any lighter than about las
pounds. He is all bone and mus
Gle at the end of such a tough
grind. and now right before the
start he isn't much more than
that.
AShenfelter had a couple of
chores to take care of on his
quick trip to Washington. He, of
course, had to check in at FB1
headquarters and he stepped
across the street to file an entry
in The Stars 2-mile race. While
here he also filed a request for
three free tickets to The Star
Games. 'My parents and my wife
come to all the meets to watch
me run. and if I had to buy them
tickets every time it would keep
me broke" he said.
