GOV.BYRD INVITED IN BRIDGE PROJECT State Head Needed in Discus- sion of Arlington Memorial Bridge Approach. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent vi The Star. CLARENDON, Va., September 28.— Expressing the opinion that the *“hodor of Virginia is at stake,” the executive committee of the Arlington County Chamber of Commerce, at a special meeting yesterday, appointed a commit- tee to proceed immediately to Richmond to invite Gov. Harry F. Byrd to attend the quarterly membership meeting of the trade organization and to discuss Virginia’s plans for a suitable approach g0 the Arlington Memorial Bridge. So vital is this matter, it was said by P. P. Woodbridge, executive secre- tary of the trade body, that the special committee, consisting of Keith A. Brum- back, president of the Chamber of Com- mercs; Harry K. Green, commissioner of revenue for Arlington County, and Guy M. Church, president of the Vir- ginia Real Estate Board, were instructed to change the date of the membership meeting if it is necessary to do so in order to assure the presence of the governor. The date had previously been set for October 16. Definite Action Necessary. Members of the committee feel, Wood- bridge said, that there is so much un- certainly regarding rights-of-way and other questions concerning the Lee Boulevard and straight-to-the-bridge Toutes that some definite action should be taken immediately. Unless work is started next Spring, it was sald, Vir- ginia will not have a highway connec- tion with the bridge when it is ready for opening by the Federal Government. ‘While no direct reference was made it at vesterday’s meeting, it is known that there is considerable uncertainty as to whether the proposed route of the Lee Boulevard through the Fort Myer reservation can be used. This is due to two facts which have apparently been overlooked until recently. One is that the Virginia laws do not permit the State to construct roads over land to which it does not have title and the other is that the Federal Government cannot give away property. Since a long stretch of this road would be through the reservation, it is believed that special legislation either by the State or Federal Government, or both, | jng may be necessary before this section can be built. Dinner Is Discussed. Details for the quarterly meeting and @nner, which will be held in the Wash- fmgton-Lee High School, call for a num- ber of short talks by chairmen of com- mittees on the particular work to which they have becn assigned. Principal among these will be the report of the five-year program committee, of which Henry C. Morris is chairman. The main_subject to be discussed, however, is the bridge and its relation- ship with the State and county. 1t was revealedyat yesterday’s meeting that the board of directors of the chamber have gone on record as ex- pressing confidence in the “integrity and good judgment” of the Zoning Commission with regard to its action om the Sun Oil Co.’s application for permission to construct an oil storage plant on the Lee Highway in Rosslyn. Since this action was taken before the commission rendered a final decision, however, it does not definitely commit She chamber to the opposition. o GARMENT WORKERS STRIKE IN BALTIMORE Twelve Hundred Walk Out in De- mand for Higher Pay and Shorter Hours. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, September 28. — Twelve hundred workers in Baltimore garment_factories went on strike yes- terday. The walkout affected about 60 establishments. Chief among the strik- ers’ demands are a 10 per cent in- crease in wages and a 44-hour week. Picketing will start next week, the strikers promised, if a settlement is not_effected by that time. The strikers included pressers, pants, coat and vest makers and_tailors. The strike began when 200 pressers, employed in various shops, left their machines and_ were joined by 1,000 pants, vest and coat makers and tail- ors. Philip Rudich, who is in charge of the strike for the Amalgamated, said that if the strike is not called off by Mondhy their ranks will be augmented by over 800 spongers and cutters. He charged the manufacturers were taking advantage of the workers by cutting prices and making up the cur- tailed profit by wage cuts. ‘e want better working conditions,” he said. “We want to establish a living, not a starvation wage. Pressers’ salaries, Rudich said, vary between $13 minimum and $35 maxi- mum weekly, and he pointed out the latter figure can be achieved only by unusually long hours.

Keeler of the Harvard Medical School. “In man,” Dr. Keeler says, “there are known to be more than 40 different kinds of eye defects (including several varietles of cataracts) which run in families. “In some of these families we are able ;0 trace definitely from whom each blind individual received his defect.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 28.— Praising the present administration in Virginia, John Garland Pollard, Demo- cratic gubernatorial nominee, in his ad- dress at Elks' Hall last night urged members of the Democratic party to stand behind the ticket in the general election on November 5. Pollard pointed out that approximate- 1y $2,000,000 had been saved in Virginia in the past year by means of the splen- did program put through by Gov. Byrd. He also praised the administration for the road construction program and promised that it would be continued if he wins the election. For Good Roads. Discussing the problem of reducing the tax on gasoline and automobile license tags, as urged by his opponent, Pollard said that the State needs more good roads at this time than it does a reduction in taxes and that he favored the reduction of road taxes only when the proper time comes. The half-cent reduction per gallon on the gas tax, as urged by the coalition candidate, would mean the loss of $1,- 000,000 of the road fund, he said, and the public would realize no benefit from the reduction, as the dealer would not pass the saving.on to the consumer. Pollard declared that over $40,000,000 was brought to the State last year by the tourist trade as a result of Vir- ginia’s good roads. Favors Education. The Democratic nominee declared that he stood for public education, and that in the past eight years there has been a wonderful increase in students in the State. He also asserted that he stood for the care of Virginia's destitute children. C. C. Carlin, jr., chairman of the city Democratic committee, presided over the meeting, which was attended by nearly 500 people, while Gardner L. Boothe introduced the speaker. Rev. Dr. Willlam Jackson Morton, rector of Christ Episcopal Church, offered the invocation. Musical selections were ren- selections were sung by Fred Pettit and Talbot Haslett.

THEATER DELAYED AT CHERRYDALE Zoning Commission Tables Building Project When Own- er Objects to Setbacks. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va., September 28.—The desire of County Directing Engineer C. L. Kin- nier and Zoning Engineer Allen J. Sa- ville for a 10-foot setback at either end of the proposed theater building of J. C. Boss in Cherrydale met with strong opposition by the latter at the meeting last night of the Zoning Commission. ‘The new theater building, which would cost approximately $35,000 to build, is to be located across the car tracks from the Cherrydale Volunteer Fire Department, which is located on the Lee Highway. Kinnier told the commission that he and Saville had visited the site and found that the bullding was to take up the entire space of several lots lying be- tween Myers street and Donaldson ave- nue. Since these streets are now but 30 feet in width it was their opinion that the theater should be shortened 10 feet at either end in order to allow for fu- ture widening of the streets. Effort at Compromise. After an effort to effect a compromise of & 5-foot setback, Boss made an ap- peal to the commission to consider what the sacrifice of the land that would be the setback would cost him. “I am a poor man,” Boss said in his appeal, “and such action on your part would rob me of ground that would be worth between $2,000 and $3,000. If I had known that there was any possibility of such action, I would have thought for a long time before pur- chasing the property.” Boss declared that he had erected 17 theaters before this one, and that this was the first time he had ever run into any difficulties. The land on which he proposes to erect the building is purely commercial, he said, claiming that he did not even know that the matter would have to come before the Zoning Commission at the time he made the purchase. Project Is Tabled. ‘When Boss refused to accept the con- ditions under which the commission was willing to grant the permit, the mat- ter was tabled for further consideration. The commission granted a permit to Eugene Arrington to erect a $7,000 fill- ing station and storage room on the Lee Highway at the intersection of Spring Drive, in Lee Heights. Arring- ton had the written approval of the owner of the subdivision for the station. WOMEN'S WILLS PUT ESTATES IN TRUSTS! Prominent Cumberland Residents Create Funds for Relatives in Testaments.
