The sale of houses for less

His proposal was offered as 9
substitute for a blanket / pei
cent tax on all real estate
transfers.
Opposition Stirred
The latter measure was vig-
orously opposed by real estate
agents who maintained such q
tax would drive prospective
home owners elsewhere.
Several councilmen, however
said they felt some sort of
real estate tax must be adopted
in order to broaden the county'S
sources Of revenues.
Such a levy, declared Council
President william F. Hickey,
would be "of general benefit
to the county"

Channel Study
DeIayScored
As Disgrace
Cruise Line Head
FuiIs in Effort
To Obtain Report
BY CHARLES PIERCE
Star staff Writer

A shipping company official
tried to dredge out yesterday
what has happened to a long
overdue report on the feasibility
of deepening and widening the
Potomac River ship channel
from Chesapeake Bay to
Alexandria.
However, John E. Smith, jr.
president of Caribbean Cruise
Lines, found the going so murky
that he finally declared the
delay by the Army Corps oi
Engineers in providing the
report is "a disgrace"
Col. John U. Allen, District
engineer, had been scheduled
to speak to the meeting of the
River and Harbor Committee
of the Washington metropolitan
Board of Trade.
But shortly before the meet.
ling Col. Allen had to seeH
medical attention for a tootf
infection.
Harry Schwartz, chief of thu
Potomac River branch of thu
District Engineers Offices ar.
rived to pinch-hit for the ailinr
colonel.
Where is the navigation
report?" Mr.. Smith asked Mr.
Schwarz.
II don't know" replied Mr.
Schwarz. He explained that hi
office is conducting a study o
water supply and other prob
lens. However, he said, tn
navigation study is being han
died separately.
At the suggestion of MI
Smith the committee agreed
to recommend that the direc'
tors of the Board Of Trade re
quest the District Engineer
office to provide the report OF
deepening of the channel.
p An official in the Distric
;. Engineers office said the mali
! factor in DELAYING the repor
was the recent decision Of tn
S Federal Aviation Agency +

a However, Mr.. Smith ques
e toned whether this was tn
real explanation for the della
in the channel report. He sal
> the channel is already dee
i enough for use by barges.
S He added that if the channe
is deepened from its preSen
, depth of about "a feet to 80 o
33 feet and widened from 20
; to 800 feet that 80 per cent o
the worlds shipping could sal

Mr.. Sabin said these piers ar
a menace to boating. The com

STARS IN MUSIC MAN
Horse Puts Personality Into Act
By ANNE CHRISTMAS
Star staff Writer

At an hour when most horses
are tucked in their stalls for
the nights, one horse-about-
town climbs into his personal
limousine and heads gaily for
the bright lights.
He is Boss Man. lone equine
star of the musical comedy,
THE Music Man." who has
travelled 10000 miles a year
with the show since its opening
in August, 1858.
The show is currently play
ing a summer stand at the Ma
tional Theater.
Boss Mans role is to bring
in Forrest Tucker, the human
star, on o Wells-Fafgo wagon
accompanied by gay singing by
the rest of the cast.
The chestnut horse, a pure
bred Morgan with registration
papers to prove it, is born
trouper as he surveys the wild
scene of Maryland with a prac-
ticed eye, turns his head to-
ward the audience, and yawnS
in a manner befitting his long
experience in show biz.
His Personal Touch
The yawn is not called for
in the script; Boss Man delivers
it almost every night as an ad
lib.
AS the only non-member Of
Equity-the actors union-on
the bill, Boss Mans position is
unique. But it doesn't stop
there; he also is the only act
ing horse in the country who
rates an understudy.
This understudy-who, like
many another ambitious actor.
laments the stars blooming
health, is a yearling filly
acquired from a Texas range
last year by Boss Mans ham
dler, Lee Kitchell Of Monrovia,
Calf.
The understudy's name is
Lucy Anna, and although she
is only a year old, she already
is busy learning the fundamen-
tails of equine Stardom.
Boss Man, by virtue of few
friendly nips when she mis-
behaves, gives her private act
ing lessons and Mr.. Kitchell
provides the more formal train
ing.
So far, because of Boss Mans
dedication to his role, Lucy
Anna hasn't been called on to
haul Actor Tucker onto the
stage.
Puts on Own Show
AS for Boss Man, he has taken
up the schedule Of an actor
without q qualm. He snoozes
peacefully in his stall at Pc
-lgasus Stables in Chevy Chase,
Md, which is his Washington
abode, until afternoon when Mr..
Kitchell or one Of the cast
arrives to exercise him.
Because of his unusually quiet
disposition. he is the perfect
mount for the least experienced
rider. But when q real horse
man is in the saddle, Boss
mans fine Morgan blood
prompts him to put on an in
teresting show of flared noStrilS
and prancing feet.
After a leisurely dinner, he
relaxes until Mr.. Kitchell ap-
pears at $3.50 pm. with his pri-
vate car, a green and white
horse trailer attached to a
truck. He arrives on E street in
front of the theater at $50,
where (through arrangements
probably not available for mere
humanS) his vehicle is parked
until he is finished.
Boss Man waits in the wings,
amid a scurrying cast and
moving props. until 10 pm.
when his cue comes. He is on
stage about eight minutes, and
audiences everywhere gave him
a big hand.
About 10:30, another show
over, Boss Man saunters back
into his trailer and returns to
country life Of Chevy Chase.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. e. EDGAR

ACCOUNT: In 1912, when
he was running for re-
election as New York State
Senator, Franklin D. Roose-
velt asked Louis M. Howe to
be his campaign manager.
Howe, slated to become one
of the shrewdest of political
tacticians, was of invaluable
assistance. He was also de-
voted to F. D. r. But in
money matters he was in.
credibly naive.
One day Roosevelt received
notice from the bank that
his campaign account was
overdrawn. He could not un-
derstand this, as the check
book showed a sizable bal
ance. A closer examination
revealed, however, that Howe
had been adding to the bal
ance the amount of each
check issued, instead of sub
tracing it.
LOGICAL: While in his
late fifties George Bernard
Shaw became infatuated with
a much younger actress. After
a few months she told him
they would have to stop see
ing each other, as she was
going to be married-to a
man her own age.
G. B. S. would not hear
of it.

REPORTER
Richard ArIen Handsome at so

We sat to dinner at the
Lambs. The corned beef was
lain in long tongues across
the Steaming cabbage. Rich
ard Arlen put English mus
tard on his. A man lurched
in from the bar. Dick" he
said happily, I'm calling my
wife in California. Come in
and say hello" Arlen nodded
and flashed his billion dol
lar smile. I'm a minute" he
said.
The man went away. I
broke the boiled potato with
q fork and put a square of
butter on it. We had been
talking about the long, long
career of Richard Arlen. He
has been in pictures Al years,
and that runs all the way
from Barriscale to Brando.
There is, at age so, some
gray in the hair, but the
hair is all his. There are some
laugh lines around the eyes,
and some lines that didn't
come from mirth. The voice
is still throaty and the teeth
are big and square, as they
always we're. Men aren't good
judges of men, but Dick Ar
len, in my estimation, is
about as handsome as a male
can be without becoming
pretty.
HIS REAL NAME is Rich
ard Mattimore and his father
was an attorney in st. Paul.
The Mattimores were County
Sligo Catholics and there
were five children. Richard
was the only one who served
as an altar boy at st. Luke's
and played hockey from the
school.
His love was sports and
he played football, baseball,
hockey, and he rowed. At
16, he enlisted in the Royal
Canadian Flying Corps and
flew old orange crates in
leather helmet, goggles and
silk scarf. He had looks and
nerve and, when he "a m e
home, Dick got a job in the
sports department of the Du-
luth ws-Tribune.
In time, Arlen got to Hol-
lywood Just to see what Or
anges on trees look like. He
got a job developing film in
Joe Alters laboratory, run
ming 35-millimeter strips
through the wrong tanks. AL
Ter looked at some of the
film and said: You're in the
wrong end of this business.
I'll get you a job as an as
sistant cameraman.
He did. The picture was
"Qucksand," a silent. 1t
starred Richard Dix. An &C
tor forgot to show up, so the
director offered Arlen $3.50
a week for playing the part
of q sergeant and $25 for
helping with the box camera,
That's the way he started.

Is he so. IS, 10? Many a
healthy man or woman 1
know would resent being
classified as aged although
they are in their mid and
late sixties. They are alert
and vigorous and don't
believe in the chronological
classification. I believe that
they are right. Even if we
moved the dividing line ahead
to rs. some young" oldsters
would kick up their heels if
put into this classification.
ALL THIS points up the
fact that when we doctors
make our estimates of a pa
tient, they should rest upon
the patients physiological age
and not upon his calendar
age. This is especially true
when considering surgery. We
don't ask to look at the pa
tents birth certificate; in
stead we take a good look at
the condition of his arteries
and various organs. Many
70-pluS patients Withstand
surgery better than those so
or under.
I could not help overhear-
ing the conversation of q
middle-aged married couple
and their friend as I sat near
them the other day. They
were discussing the impor-
tanee of sleep. All agreed
that husbands and wives
should face the need for it
realistically. The wife said:
II believe in the comfort of
twin beds" The husband
said: How about separate
roomS?" And the bachelor
quipped: Why not separate
houseS?'
A point sometimes over
looked is that the tremor
of the PATENT who suffers
from paralysis agitans is
sometimes aggravated by
emotional factors. In such
circumstances I have advised
that the patient take a few
tablets daily of mepr obamate.
Taken in conjunction with
such drugs as HyoScine COR
others it often brings COM
fort.
I'M GLAD that AA (Alco-
holics Anonymous) aren't
called zz. This organization
deserves to be at the head
of the list. Begun as recently
as Is years ago by a business
man problem drinker, this
organization has grown to
huge proportions: There are
5000 local groups. in $3.50
communities, in more than
80 countries.
Other than a central
world-service office, there are
no officers in this dedicated
organization. Meetings, dates,
finances, and programs are
arranged by a steering COM
mittee on the local level.
What is most important is
that the ,AA is greatly re-
spected by the medical pro-
fession as a strong right arm
in the fight against alcohol
ism. And what is also i'm
portant, the individual who
applies for help in overcom-
ing the heavy load of chronic
alcoholism remains anony-
nous. He gets the helping
hand without being forced
into the spotlight.

There's tremendous COM
petition in the marriage in

known as the Wedding
Chapel of the Stars for years.
We've married a flock of the
Hollywood stars and I have
in mind such people as Betty
Hutton and Ruth Roman

church bells and the photo

Of the services.
