POLLARD SEEKING AID OF ASSEMBLY Governor-Elect Confers With Members on Qualifications of Appointees. Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., November 25.— Gov.-elect John Garland Pollard, now under siege from the usual group of post-election officeseekers and their iriends, u¥s that he is hopeful that members of the General Assembly will confer with him and discuss the quali- fications of various prospective ap- pointees of the governor before they make definite commitments. Dr. Pollard said that he is primarily interested in the qualifications of men rather than in eulogy of them, and that he is depending heavily upon advice from members of the Assembly. He said that members of the Assem- bly who are not committed to any par- ticular candidates are, of course, in much better position to discuss impar- tially the qualifications of prospactive State officers. Dr. Pollard is maintaining heldT.x:r- ters the John Marshall Hotel, here, and has invited many members of the Assembly and others to his recent con- ferences upon his appointments and upon the legislative program that will grow out of his campaign platform. The governor-elect thus far apparent- ly has made no definite decision upon any appointment or reappointment de- spite the flood of rumors that have greatly disturbed individuals and fac- tions in the Democratic party. Friends of a number of office holders have been thrown into a panic during the st week, judging by the com- munications which have been flooding the Pollard headquarters, but there is no indication whatsoever that Dr. Pol- lard has decided upon any appoint- mel}lu or any particular appointment policy. He has been in conference with rep- resentatives of practically every rty faction, but, so far as can be deter- mined, he has told no one anything and 1is adhering strictly to a policy of rn- ing as much as possible before making up his mind. Meanwhile the political horizon has cleared considerably throughout Vir- nia and more harmony prevails with- in the victorious party and’throughout the State as a whole than for many years. Friends of the governor-elect have made it plain that Dr. Pollard, in con- ferring with members of the Assembly, has been in search of advice and in no way has sought to influence them pne way or another so far as their choice of men or measures is concerned. insist that there is not and Tiat ng siate-of appointments fgured at no appo! nts figured a all in the Pollard elm?flgnl of '.\3d - mary and general election, Community Chest Drive On.

DE MOLL 222 ATTE B $1.0 BRINGS PROTEST Include Clarendon and Ballston Approach. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staff Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., November 25.— Fallure of the State to make an allo- cation for the construction of any part of the straight-to-ihe-bridge boulevard | route during the coming year has re- sulted in the calling of a meeting to- night of the assoclation sponsoring that highway, it was announced today by Arthur Orr, president of the Straight- to~the-Bridge Association. The meeting will be held in the rooms of the Ar- lington County Chamber of Commerce. ‘The reason for the immediate calling of the meeting, Orr said, is that Gov. a Com- mission, are both scheduled to meet to- morrow with Federal and county offi- cf for a conference on Arl n Memorial Bridge approaches and other proposed developments for the metro- litan area of Washington and the jghway association wishes to be in a position to present its case at this meet- ing, which will be held at the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club. No Fault to Find. The Straight-to-the-Bridge Associa- tion has absolutely no fault to find with the Highway Commission in making an allocation of $100,000 for the grading and construction of culverts for the Lee Boulevard, Orr said, but is deeply concerned over its failure to make any provision for a connection with the Memorial Bridge for the thickly settled communities of Clarendon and Ballston. ‘While the Highway Commission has already adopted into the State system the straight-to-the-bridge route, ex- tending from Porters Woods through Clarendon and Ballston to Mulhall road, it was pointed out, Shirley has an- nounced that no definite route has ever been selected and that none will be until the allocation for construction is made. The distance taken over by the State is 2.3 miles, and while the asso- clation would like to see this entire length of road constructed by the time the new bridge is ready for opening. their immediate efforts will be directed toward the reallocaton of sufficent funds to construct at least enough to reach Clarendon, a distance of between a half and three-quarters of a mile, ‘Would Cut Out Route. Under existing conditions the citizens of the more thickly populated section of the county will be deprived of any direct route to the new br&le, since the Lee Boulevard follows a southwesterly direction, which is away from Claren- don and Ballston. The public. hearings on the tentative allocations for Culpeper District, of which Arlington connti{ is a t, will be held in Charlottesville o ember 16, and the association hopes to have made sufficient progress by that time to_be able to persuade the State to sider the original single alloca- tion and provide enough more for the small amount or road immediately needed. ..

CHEVY CHASE GARDENS, Md., No- vember 25.—The meeting of the Chevy Chase Gardens Citizens' Association at the Somerset School on Friday night was featured by the unanimous indorse- ment of the move to preserve as resi- dential the territory along Wisconsin avenue between the District of Columbia line and Bradley Lane and to oppos: any attempt to alter the present zoned status of this area for other than detached residences. It was pointed out that Wisconsin avenue was the only remaining gateway to the National Capital that was not lined with commercial buildings and ment houses and that the asso- clation at its previous meeting having voted to join with the 12 other organized bodies in the area to work for the beau- tification of this historical gateway h a street widening, paving and tree planting program, should make known to the zoning authorities its posi- H. H. Clark of the committee on street and park develogment reported that his committee had been assured by Judge H, J. Hunt that the county com- missioner, Dr. Benjamin C. Perry, would have Langdrum lane and Hunt avenue top-dressed with crushed stone, olled and rolled and that the work would be- in by December 1 at the latest. A resolution was adopted directing that a letter be transmitted to the county com- missioner confirming this under- standing. 5 The president, Charles H. Squire, in- formed the association that since its last meeting the installation of mail boxes at certain street intersections officials and the co-operation of Rep- resentative hfinfle N. Zihiman sought. One mail box was promptly installed at the intersection of Lang- drum lane and Stratford road, and another had been promised at the in- tersection of Wisconsin avenue and Langdrum lane. Frederick A. Genau, reporting for the committee on public welfare, recom- mended that the propositicn made to the residents by the Montgomery County Refuse Co. of Bethesda to fur- nish homes with ash, trash and garbage collection service at a cost of $3.00 per month per home be disapproved on the grounds that the charge was exces- sive. He stated that his committee had received an offer from a contractor now serving the Silver Spring area, to furnish this service at a cost of not exceeding $1.50 monthly per home. The recommendations of the committee were unanimously approved and the execu- tive committee directed to work out details for providing the community with a satisfactory system. i The extenslon of Straiford road “to Drummond avenue, thus providing a highway which would avold the use of Wisconsin avenue by children attend- ing Somerset School from areas north of Chevy Chase Gardens was urged on the county authorities and the man- ner in which this may be accomplished was left to the consideration of the street committee. The association at its previous meeting had gone on record urging the county commissioner, Dr. Perry, to continue the construction of the sidewalk south of Davidson drive along Wisconsin avenue opposite Chevy Chase Gardens, and thus eliminate the danger to children’s lives by reason of their having to use the highway for a sidewalk at the present. ‘The association elected the following to membership: A. L. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pease, Rose L. Royce, Ma- bel V. Royce, Arthur W Hummel, Otto Ruppert, jr.; H. P. Doane, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. McLean, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Sny- der, Mr. and Mrs. Kent G.

By #/Staft Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., November 25.— The date for the adjourned meeting of the Organized Woman Voters of Arling- ton County, which was requested be- cause of the failure of the organization to finish all of the business before it at the regular quarterly meeting last week, was today set by the executive committee for December 5. Due to the fact that the regular meeting was held in the Cherrydale Firemen's Hall, the adjourned meeting will be held at the same place, starting at 1:30 o'clock. ‘That this is to prove even more ex- citing than the regular meeting was indicated today by & group of the mem- bers who are not satisfied with the resolution _calling upon Hugh Reid, member of the House of Delegates, to “introduce an ‘incorporation enabling act’ as =oon as he can conveniently do #0 without causing embarrassment to other important legislation.” Some Left Meeting. This regolution was passed after a number of the members had left the meeting—so many of them, in fact, that it was necessary to count those present to determine whether thete was a quorum. The resolution, which was intro- duced by Mrs. Florence Cannon, has been rather fully discussed by many of the members since the meeting and is certain to be brought up again at the adjourned meeting, it was said today. lngluded in the unfinished business of the first meeting is the reading of two papers, one for and the other against incorporation. Many of the members believe, it is understood, that these papers should have been read before the assoclation was called upon to pass uj the matter of the intro- duction of an “incorporation” enabling measure. This question is one that has long been discussed in the county and that is again recelving prominent mention because of the coming general as- sembly, which meets every two years. An enabling act, it was pointed out, does not necessarily call for incorpora- tion but permits the county, under the provisions of the new constitution, to hold a referendum vote for the purpose of selecting any form of government which the citizens may desire. No other form, however, could prevent further annexation by the city of Alex- andria, advocates declare. EDUCATION LEADERS.

BUS DRIVER IS HELD IN PAINTER’S DEATH Collision of Vehicles in 'Alexan- dria Results in Fatality to One. Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 25.— James O. Thomas, bus driver of 505 Queen street, has been placed under $1,000 bond in connection with the death of Arthur M. Purvis, 38, a painter, who died at 2:15 o'clock yesterday merning from injuries received Saturday after- noon in a collision between a light truck in which he was a passenger and an A. B. & W. bus. Thomas is charged with violating the traffic law, colliding and causing the death of Purvis. Dr. | T. Marshall Jones, city coroner, will hold an inquest after the funeral, it was stated today. The deceased was seated on the side of the truck nearest the bus, accord- ing to accounts of the accident, and was the only one injured. J. Fred Birrell, State Representative from this city, who was also in the truck, received slight injuries. French Grove, the truck driver, was not hurt. A desperate effort was made at the Alexandria Hos~ pital Saturday night to save Purvis’ life. The accident, which occurred at the intersection of Prince and Henry streets, was attributed by Thomas, in a state- ment to police, to have been caused by the failure of the bus brakes to hold, due to the wet condition of the street and wet brake linings. The truck was struck amidship and careened into a telephone pole, breaking it off at the ground. Purvis is survived by his widow, Mrs, Helen Purvis, 213 West Windsor ave- nue, Potomac. Interment will be in Arlington Cemetery. The date of the funeral has not been set.
