Maryland's highest court today

put the Belair estate of the late
William Woodward. jr. back on
the market.
The Court Of Appeals affirmed
"a Prince Georges County Circuit
Court decree multiplying the sale
of the 2,226-acre former horse
farm to Webb e. Knapp Inc. a
New York real estate firm, for
$l.lS7. 900.
The Circuit Court decree took
note Of declarations that higher
bids had been offered and called
for the opening of new bids in
Circuit Court within the next
80 days.
The Belair estate and stud
farm is in Prince Georges County
about is miles east of Washing
ton, near Bowie Race Track. II
is expected to be subdivided for
housing developments.
The farm. once the home Of
such famous race horses as
Nashua and Gallant Fox. was
sold last october 10 by the Ham
over National Bank OF New York
and John w. Ludewig, trustees
and executors for the estate.
Mr.. Woodward was killed in

Token by Sneak Thief

Miss Winona Eggleston, sales
clerk at a cleaning establish

sneak thief stole her purse con-
tanning $500 cash and 500 in
jewelry.
Miss Eggleston said a woman
came into the shop. Sylvan
Cleaners. 1906 Underwood street
NV. about S pm. and asked for
some nonexistent clothes. When
she returned from the rear of
the store to say she could not
locate the clothes. Miss Eggles-
ton told police. the woman had

which was on shelf behind the
counter.

of order. He also objected to the
idea of having the fan shut off
when the light goes off, pointing
out that moisture from a shower
would then stay right there.
He also predicted that the
change would "downgrade" the
enforcement of existing controls
on multiple dwellings. He cited
cases of health violations in
SlumS.
Mr.. Gray said he thought
that if the District wanted to
get around the need for a search
warrant in inspecting private
bathrooms it might have to re-
quire special covenants allowing
inspections when granting per-
mits for windowless bathroom
installations.
Commissioners David B. Kar-
rick and Thomas A. Lane both
questioned the desirability OF
any legal complication, however
Gen. Lane questioned whether
windows really assure proper
ventilation, pointing out that
they may be closed in the winter
time. Mr.. Cary replied, however
that windows normally admit a
great deal of air even when
closed. unless they are purposely
sealed.
He asserted:
Ventilation from little fans
lis not satisfactory"

.Bea| Gets Post
With Hospital

A Baltimore man today was
appointed deputy superintendent
and administrative officer of Dis
trict General Hospital.
The new appointee, who will be
deputy to Hospital Supt. Philip
A E. Stebbing, is Charles H. Beal,
associate administrator of Luth-
eran Hospital of Maryland in
Baltimore.
The District Commissioners
switched Paul E. Keen. who NOM
inally has been holding the post.
to new administrative assign
ment in the Health Department.
Details of the assignment were
not disclosed.
Detailed to Other Duties
Mr.. Keen. who had been crit
icized in connection with charges
of poor administration at the
hospital. actually has been de-
tailed to other duties for the
last year.
Daniel L. Finucane. health di-
rector, described Mr.. Beal as
very well qualified" and as
serted:
Il think he'll be an asset to
District General and the District
government"
The management of the CITY,
operated hospital was sharply
criticized in a recent special re-
port prepared for the House Dis
trict Appropriations Subcommit-
tee. Representative Rabaut,
Democrat of Michigan, chairman
of the House subcommittee. told
the Health Department to re-
port by next January on what
had been done to improve the
situation.
$4,000 a Year Job
Mr.. Beal will take over his new
job next Monday. He was APP
pointed to the S10,320 a year
post on probationary basis for

Ordered Cut to 5 Cents

RICHMOND. July 2 (P).-The
State Corporation Commission
ordered tolls on Richmond's
Boulevard Bridge. a U. S. by
pass, cut from 10 cents to a
nickel yesterday.
The ruling came as a result of
a suit entered by Alvin c. Ham
mer Of Richmond to determine
If just and reasonable tolls were
being charged.
Still pending in court is a case
entered by Mr.. Hammer chal-
longing the legality OF all tolls
charged by the bridge. which

the Board OF commissioners.
He expressed these views in a
letter to the Fiscal Affairs Sub
committee of the House District
Committee before it acted ia
vorably today on a bill to 1ex-
empt from real estate taxes the
new $1,290,000 national head
quarters of B'nai Birth at the
southeast corner of Seventeenth
street and Rhode Island avenue
NV.
Only yesterday, a Senate Dis
trict subcommittee headed by
Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada. reported favorably on an
identical bill after receiving the
same warning from Mr.. Nc
Laughlin. The Commissioners
views were restated at public
hearings today to the correspond
ing HOUSE subcommittee, headed
by Representative Smith, Demo-
CIdJ VI NIBlIlld.
Estimated S25,7S2 Loss
Henry E. Wixon. Assistant
Corporation Counsel. said the
conservative estimate of the tax
assessor is that the revenue lost
to the District from the B'nai
Birth exemption bill would be
$25. 1922 a year.
Frank Goldman. honorary
president of the national organi-
Ization. stressed the religious,
educational and charitable ac-
'tivities of the non-proflt group.
In justifying his organizations
claim for an exemption. Mr..
Goldman said the difficulty
arises in the District tax code
general exemption statute. which
provides property tax forgive
ness for churches. schools. Ii
braries. art galleries and build
Ings belonging to charitable in
stitutions used for public charity
principally in the District.
"B'nai Birth charities, how
ever. are not confined to the
District" Mr.. Goldman said
and no one, I am sure, would
suggest or contend that its works
of charity be so limited"
Cites Exemptions
Mr.. Mclaughlin, in DISCUSSING
the general issue involved, told
the House and Senate groups
THE Committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia is we'll aware
that over so per cent of the total
land area Of the District Of CO.
Ilumbia, with an assessed value
of approximately Sis billion. is
now exempt from taxation.

view that the cumulative effect
of the granting of special ex-
emptions from real property
taxation, when added to the vast
amount Of property now exempt
from such taxation. is an ex-
tremely serious matter.

William H. Cary, new chief of
the Bureau of Food and Public
Health Engineering. said the
change might permit bad health
conditions.
Authority Doubtful
Corporation Counsel Chester
H. Gray voiced doubt that health
inspectors would have adequate
authority to check on compliance
with the proposed fan regula-
ton. He said a Supreme Court
ruling made it appear the in
spector would have to get a
search warrant.
Health Director Daniel l.
Finucane and Mr.. Cary said they
hadn't been informed of the pro-
poSal until late yesterday and
asked time to study it. The
Commissioners accordingly de-
ferred action.
Mr.. 0wathmey said he felt
that the present regulation had
outlived its usefulness. He said
one OF the reasons the easing of
the requirements is being pro-
posed is that in many new houses
builders now want to include
powder rooms in odd corners.
He said he thought there was
small likelihood that homeowners
would not take adequate care of
ventilating fans.
Objects to Switch

bia. most of whom derive no
benefit from the activities of the
favored organization. Yet. it is
the individual taxpayer who
must bear the burden of meeting
the deficit created by the enact
ment of special exemption meas
ures."
Cites Record of Opposition
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the Com
miSsioners have consistently
over the past several years" OPP
posed such special tax exemption
legislation. Congress held ex-
tensive public hearings prior to
adopting the present law in 1912,
he emphasized.
THE act of December "a, 1912,
was, and is, model exemption
STATUTE" Mr.. Mclaughlin said
Special legislation which, with
out regard to the act ;. eXempts
other property from taxation in
the District Of Columbia. de-
stroys the effectiveness Of that
act
Moreover. such special legis-
lation is discriminatory in that
it confers upon single organi-
cation a favored status over
other organizations which are
unable to comply with the
standards laid down by Congress;

ute"
Long Record Of Service
Mr.. Goldman said it was ar
unusual appearance for Bna
Birth to make before congress
sional committees.
Our customary posture. he
said, lis that of the giver. rather
