Virginia Faces Racial
Marriage Law Test
BY the Associofed Press

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 1.-THE
State found itself with a new
racial case on it's hands today
this one, attacking the tradi-
tional laws against interracial
marriage.
The case was accepted for re-
view by the State Supreme Court,
which has never ruled on the
constitutionality of statutes ban
ming marriage between whites
and members of other races.
The new attack on the States
racial laws comes at a time when
the Commonwealth is busily try
ing to find a method to get
around the Supreme Court de-
ciSion of May II outlawing seq
regation in the public schools.
The case was brought by Ham
Say Main, a Chinese seaman
whose marriage to an American
white girl was annuled by the
Portsmouth Circuit Court in Feb
ruary, 1858.
The court declared the mar
riage void because of a Virginia
law which says whites shall
marry only whites or Indians.
Such a prohibition, contended
Ham violates the 14th amend
ment to the United States Con-
Stitution-the one providing for
equal protection under the law.

Pumper Is Moved
From Firehouse
After Floor Cracks

Fairlington'S one-engine fire
house cannot be used because of
a defective floor, Arlington off,
cials said yesterday.
The firehouse, built by the
Federal Government as part of
the sprawling apartment project,

inches thick. Two large cracks
have appeared in the reinforced
concrete and officials feared that
the heavy fire engine housed
there might fall through to the
dormitory below.
Carlisle Johnston, director of
public safety, said the county
plans to have an engineering sur
vey Of the brick structure to
determine steps necessary to cor
rect the floor weakness.
He said the 4-ton pumper sta
toned in the darlington house

Why You Give
A New Home Didn't Answer
Bills ProbIem-It Took More
Such on Active Boy
Must Have Help Of
Red Feather Agency

Bill was seven years old
when his family moved out of
a slum apartment" over a
junkshop in Southwest Wash
ington to a bright new brick
housing project.
1t changed him-for the
worse.
From a boy with a good
school attendance record. Bill
became a chronic truant. He
got into trouble with the
police on a charge of breaking
into a school.
He became harder and hard
er to control. When his father
went looking for him in a
nearby woods, he would find
Bill standing in a path and
watching him. If the father
ran after him, Bill would stand
still-until the father ran into
a pit the boy had dug in the
path and covered with tree
limbs.
The thing that changed
Bill was leaving the influence
of your Community Chest dol
lars.
Chest Helped Him.
In his old neighborhood-
with it's rats, it's crowding,
and all the other ills Bill had
had the Barney Neighborhood
House.
Like his brothers and sis
tiers, Bill practically grew up
there. He started at 3. Later
he went there after school.
He liked the craft shop and
painting and the carpentry
shop and the game room. He
would bring home things he
had made out of clay. or
painted. The house found
ways for him to earn the 81
a year "dues" by putting his
talents to work.
There is nothing like that
near his new home in the far
Southeast. Bill doesn't think
he's having any fun anymore,
so he goes looking for it often
during school hours. He
played hockey II times in the
last month of school last
spring. He runs away from
home to go back to Barney.
The school he doesn't like
in the daytime he broke into
one night. He stole some milk
and cookies, although there
were plenty at home.
$500 a Month.
The family of 10 lives on
5000 a month from the Dis
trict Public Assistance De-
partment. The father drove
a cab until a heart ailment
made that impossible. He's
now-at 50-taking up a new
trade. Matchmaking. He'll be
graduated from Matchmaking
school in February.
Until then the family strug-
giles along. But they have
enough SO that Bill doesn't
have to break into schools to
get milk.
The energy and imagination
that used to go into clay mod
cling or carpentry now goes

District Man
Refuses 10 Talk
Al Beard Trial
Murray OFF PIeuds
Fifth Amendment;
Erickson Testifies
By Jock Jonas
S,cr Stoff Correspondent

BALTIMORE. Oct. murray
H. OF maintained his reputation
for silence yesterday afternoon
when he appeared as witness
in the income tax evasion trial
of Washington gambler Sam
Beard.
OF, of 1886 Sixteenth street
NV, Washington. pleaded the
Fifth Amendment and refused
to answer questions about any
dealings he may have had with
Beard.
Some Of the questions put to
him by United States Attorney
George Cochran Doub paral-
leled those OF refused to an
swer during a 1852 appearance
before the Senate District Crime
Investigating subcommittee.
Refuses to Talk.
OFF would not tell the jury
whether he operated the State
Wide News Distributing Co., a
race wire service at 370l Bla-
denSburg road, Colmar Manor.
Md. That address has been
linked to Beard by other wit
neSSeS.
He also would not say whether
he knew Beard, or how long he
has been in Washington. If he
answered, he said, it might
tend to incriminate me-" The
only questions to which he re-
piled concerned his name and
address.
Erickson Testifies.
His refusal to testify eclipsed
the appearance of Frank Erick-
son. one-time New York gam
bling czar, who testified about
$3.50, 900 worth of his checks that
wound up in Boards hands.
Erickson said the checks -

was done by gamblers when
betting got too high on a par
ticular horse.
The Government has listed
the checks as part of Boards
income for 1914. Erickson said
he did not believe Beard got
any Of the money, since it rep
resented gambling losses.
One Washington witness in
the $1.6 million tax evasion trial
has failed to appear. Chief Fed
eral Judge William C. Coleman
yesterday issued a bench war
rant and ordered deputy United
States marshals to bring him in
