! CITIZENS AROUSED BY HIGHWAY DUST Building of New Roads in Arlington County Brings Protests. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP. i Staft Correspondent of The Star. BALLSTON, Va, August 17.—Ham- pered by detour signs and lost in clouds of dust as a result, Arlington County was today entering into what promises to be one of the most hectic existences ever experienced by residents,”local mo- torists and tourists. So bad the dust becomc that Grover E. Payne, president of the Arlington District Council of Citizens Associations, is mak- ing plans for conferences with State and county officials in an effort to have it curbed. The present state of things has been brought about by decisions of State and county authorities to reconstruct two of their most important highways at the same time, the present drought being responsible for the dust. As a result of the widening of the lee Highway from Cherrydale to a point near Halls Hill, trafic has been rerouted over the recently completed Memorial Drive to Garrison road and thence back to the Lee Highway by a roadway running just to ‘the west of Lyon Village. Memorial Drive, while wide, 15 a saxd and gravel road that has been reduced by the dry weather and un-| usual amount of traffic to a state that would make most arid desert trails hang their heads in shame. Ballston has long since been lost in a never-clearing cloud of dust, Motorists have difficulty in gaining a clear vision of the road and housewives have reached a state border- ing on nervous prostration. In No Position to Help. ‘While county engineers have observed this condition, they point out that a greater part of Memorial Drive is a State route, which they could not touch if they were in a position to do so, but that they could probably do nothing anyway, since they have no facllities for allaying the dust on that part of the highway coming under their own supervision. Ballston, however, is not alone in the dust cloud, for parts of Clarendon and Lyon Village, as well as a number of smaller subdivisions lying between, also are lost almost from view. As though this were not enough, the Test of the northern end of the county consists of & number of ever-changing detours as a result of the Wilson Boule- vard widening and the excavating be- ing done by the county and public util- ity concerns as a result. A resident driving home tonight by one route may find himself detoured over another to- morrow night and still another by the mext is the complaint. Want Uniform System. A cry for a uniform system of de- tours was answered today by Engineer ‘Thomas N. De Lashmutt, when he pointed out that the county, because of the insistence from many quarters, is attempting to keep the road open as long as possible. While this is being done, he said, the road will be so rough by next week that those who would ordinarily use it will hastily seek some other route of reaching their homes. Efforts will bz made by civic and trade organizations, it was sald today. to have the State put a coating of oil on Memorial drive and Garrison road. If they fail in this, they will seek thw use of a sprinkler, and if this fails, there is nothing left to do but buy up surplus Army gas masks and pray for rain. s JURY SYSTEM ADOPTED FOR TRIALS IN POLAND + WARSAW (P).—A unified penal code roviding for the introduction of the jury system in criminal cases and a 10-year imprisonment sentence for political _offenses has been' put into effect in Poland. 8 The new code, which will replace the four codes introduced after the partition of Poland by the Russians, the Austrians and the Germans will bring all parts of the country under a single system. Until the passage of the new code the jury system was used only in that part of Poland which was Austrian before the war. Members of the Polish- feminist movement object to a special decree which provides that no woman ean serve on a jury. They argue that the Polish constitution gives equal rights to men and women and says that “public offices are available to any citizens.” SOVIET FLYERS ABANDON ATTEMPT TO REACH U. S. v the Associated Press. MOSCOW, United States of Soviet Republic, August 17.—The attempted flight from Moscow to New York of the Russian military plane “Land of the Soviets” has been abandoned. The crew of four is returning here from the point 170 miles from Irkutsk, Siberia, where the airplane was forced down. Jt was said tonight that another at- tempt. to carry out the flight by way of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska would be started shortly. PLAN FIVE-DAY WEEK. Cleveland Move Is Designed to Relieve Unemployment. D, Ohio, August 17 (P).— Right to Remove Child’s Body Put Before U. S. Court Father Secks Decision When Denied Permission By Philippine Bishop. By the Associated Press. The Supreme Court was asked yes- terday to_decide whether the father of a child buried in_a Roman Catholic cesmetery in the Philippines has the right to remove the body for burial elsewhere notwithstanding & canon of the church prohibiting it. Ramon A. Arnaldo asked the court to review a decision of the Philippine Supreme Court which held, § to 4, that he could not remove the body of his daughter, Hidlegarda, who died when 2 years of age. She had been placed in & vault in the Roman Catholic cemetery at- Capiz, in the province of that name. Armed with a permit from the health authorities, Arnaldo was denied permis- sion to remove -the remains by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Jaro. He]/ appealed to the insular courts which sustained the Bishop, holding that Arnaldo had no constitutional right to custody of the body. EQUITY SUSPENDS | CONTRACT BATILE Temporary. Armistice Goes Into Effect as Peace Is Believed Near. By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., August 17.— The battle of the Actors Equity Associa- tion to enforce closed shop in the mo- tion picture industry in Hollywood was suspended indefinitely tonight. President Frank Gillmore of Equity announced at a closed meeting of mem- bers here tonight that the order of the Equity Council forbidding Equity mem- bers signing regulation contracts of the Motion Picture Producers, Inc., had been withdrawn temporarily. ‘The Equity action will allow all members to return to work in Hollywood studios under the contract which Equity has|| been attempting to outlaw. Gillmore said he had received assur- ances from theatrical union officials in the East that if he would leave Holly- wood temporarily and return to New York, they would co-operate with him at that end. | ‘What Gilimore's- departure woud por- tend in connection with the Hollywood struggles between Equity and the Mo- tion Picture Producers, Inc., remains in doubt. While the meeting was in prog- ress, Equity supporters wolud not ad- mit that departure of their president meant an end of the battle to force the producers to accept 100 per cent Equity casts, or to accept a later Equity offer of 80 per cent Equity membership in casts. The Equity president plunged imme- diately into the reading of a long state- ment when he took the platform at the meeting with the usual formalities. He waxed bitter against persons who sign- ed regular contracts and replied to Ethel Barrymore's recent statement of criticism. Miss Barrymore termed the Equity vote of confidence on the 80 per cent basis, asked for and obtained by Gilmore “a solution that is not a solu- tion.” She sald an agreement once had been reached with the producers and had been allowed to slip away. Gillmore asserted he could not un- derstand her attitude on her statement, stating that she was not present at the meeting during which she said an agree- ment had been reached. | Indications during the meeting were that Miss Barrymore's statement had develpoed strong reactions in some fac- tions of Equity, and while Gillmore did not so state directly, he inferred that Miss Barrymore’s attitude had had bear- m'!m his decision to return to New || York.
