ASKFIRE CO. PROBE ATSILVER SPRING Citizens’ Body to Appoint In- vestigating Committee—E. Brooke Lee Heads Group. " BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staft Correspondent of The Star. "SLIGO, Md.,, October 5.—Its opera- tion and management having been un- der fire for some time, the Silver Spring Volunteer Fire Department is to have probing finger of investigators stuck into its activities in accordance with & resolution adopted last night by the Bilver Spring Citizens' Assoclation, which held a meeting in the county building here. ‘The make-up of the personnel of the investigating committee is not yet known, but will be appointed by E. Brooke Lee, county Democratic_leader, who last night was elected to the presidency of the citizens’ y. Pirst indications that the department was not furnishing the kind of pro- toction desired were given at the last session of the Maryland Legislature when a bill was introduced by Speaker Lee which would have put it within the hands of the county authorities to control the situation by providing authority for the establishment of a paid fire department. Last Year's Fight Cited. At that time there was a split in the firemen's organization, and a delega- tion of Lee opponents went to Senator Jones of Kensington, at the State Cap- itol, and that official successfully ban- ished the measure in the Senate. Beat- en in that method of attack, the county officials and organization then gave consideration to a plan of withholding special tax funds from the volunteer fire department until there was a clean-up. It was said that the organization mend- ed its ways, and provided for improved fire protection, and this course was stopped for the time being. Then came an- election in the fire- men's_body which was hotly contested, with the result that the “organization” men were deposed, and a new anti slate took charge. Everything seemed to be going along smoothly, until last night gave the first indications that trouble was brewing, with the presentation of the resolution. Loafing Issue Was Discussed. It was alleged early in the year that the firehouse was being allowed to be ‘used as a loafing place for certain un- desirables and that the equipment was not kept up and did not mponni promptly to calls. One instance was cited where the company received a call, and the apparatus could not be started until a tow truck had bezn ob- tained, with much loss of valuable time. Since that time, however, new and modern apparatus has been purchased. Back of the whole affair is consider- able political feeling, which dates back to the time early in the year when a group of the fire association members appeared at the State Capitol and suc- cessfully beat the administration bill which would have given the county leaders the upper hand of the present association, and helped to widen the breach between the State Senator and the ization Democrats in the use. In addition to electing Maj. Lee pres- ident last night, the association named Alan Neuman first vice president, W. E. Perry second vice president, and -re- elected Ward W. Caddi n_ secretary for his third term. The following dele- tes to the Montgomery County Civic eration were named: Joseph C. Cissel, W. W. Caddington and Phil.D. Poston. The alternates were selected as follows: Dave Mears, Louis A. Yost, Jr., and John J. Geary. ‘The association also adopted a reso- lution recommending the erection -of lights on Woodside Parkway, east of the National Guard Armory. . ROCKVILLE.

Flyers in Unbroken Line. The effect of starting the planes off at one-minute intervals on the short hop from the Ford airport to the Cana- dian port of entry, about 15 miles dis- tant, was to put a-continuous string of planes into the air, the first plane off reaching the first landing place before the last plane had made the tours tn- itial take-off. All manner of planes were assembled at the airport for the circuit. The ships ranged from mammoth tri-mo- tored transports to small open biplanes, with liberal sprinklings of Casine mono- planes and biplanes in between. The entries were a virtual cross section of American aviation achievement. ‘Three days of preliminary tests to determine the right of certain ships to participate in the tour came to an end esterday, with take.off and landing its under the supervision of tour of- ficlals. - Among the prominent pilots in the tour are Dale Jackson and Forest O'Brine, holders of the refueling en- durance record; George W.
