THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, DECEMBER 1, 1929—PART ONE. JOINT PLANNING BODY T0 BE SOUGHT Senator Ball to Introduce Bill for Arlington, Fairfax and Alexandria. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va., November 30.—The crea- tion of a joint planning and zoning body for Arlington and Fairfax Coun- ties and the city of Alexandria, thereby providing the authoritive body for Northern Virginia that has long been |1 sought by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, is embodied in a bill that will be introduced at the next General Assembly of Virginia by State Senator Frank L. Ball. Senator Ball's proposed legislation | has been prepared with the assistance of and has received the approval of Maj. Carey H. Brown of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, who has expressed the opinion that it is one of the most important moves ever started in the section of Virginia adjacent to the National Capital. Co-operation Desired. In his statemeint concerning the bill Senator Ball says that “it is unthink- able that the three sections of Arling- ton and Fairfax Counties and the city of Alexandria will be under separate political jurisdiction in the next 50 years. Whatever may be our differ- ences now, all thinking men must real- ize that the destiny of this entire sec- tion is the same and that eventually there will be a great Virginia city along the south side of the Potomac, which will include the present city of Alexan- dria, all of Arlington County and a portion of the county of Fairfax.” The commission, as proposed in the bill, would consist of six men, two from Alexandria and two each from Arling- ton and Fairfax Counties, one of whom | from each jurisdiction would be & mem- ber of the governing body and the other to be appointed from unofficial life. | It is also suggested that it might be | well to have a State official as a mem- ber of the commission to have a vote | wherever State interests as contrasted from local interests are involved. A portion of Senator Ball's siatement | in announcing his intenticn to intro-i duce the bill follows | “The portion of Fairfax County to be | taken in originally will include the Po- | tomac River frontage from Great Falls to the Arlington County line and from the south line of Alexandria to and in- cinding Fort Hunt and Mount Vernon end extending back from the river for a depth of from 3 to 5 miles, with the right of Fairfax County as a whole to be taken into the plan if the board of | supervisors shall pass a resolution to that effect. “The fiist duty of the commission ‘will be to prepare a master plan for the physical development of th» district, in- cluding the layout of streets, highways, perks, piaygrounds, aviation fields and such other necessary projects as are essential to the orderly development of a city. The plan may be adopted by units, but when onc» ~dopted it shall be adhered to by all of the present gov-| ernmental bodies furctioning within the | area and no further s shall be ad- mitted to record without according In order to guard azainst | le injustice being done eith-r | I iedictions affected provision will be made that the plan | cannot be adopted except by a vote of | 2 clear majority of the entire member- ship of the commission, which m=iorif vote shall inciude at le: y ber from each of the said units within the & missi of the administration of zoning within the entire area, recognizing. of courss, zoning already done by either of the units included and l'nerlr;nner 'r.e local | zoning commissions shall cease to exit. | A ;:per zoning appeals board will be | created to act for th> entire area. | “Complete co-operation with the Fed- | eral authorities is provided S:r ::1 r]!! matters pertaining to the main arteries | of traffic and (hesestabu.shmeni of park- | ing areas. Cost of Administration. “The cost of administration of the| ‘There would be an immediate saving to all three jurisdictions, as the affairs coming under the commission could be handled more economically by one cen- | tral body than by three separate bod\zs‘ as at nt. “Such a commission could employ a | competent citv planner and promulgate for the Virginia side of the river a plan more beautiful and more in keeping with the modern needs of the people than that of the City of Washington or of any city in the East. The cost would be little compared with the cost of dis- orderly development which must be the result” of three jurisdictions working separately and the result in future | economies would be enormous. “Through the courtesy of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, ard especially of Maj. Carey Brown. to whom I appealed for help last Spring. | the services of Mr. Alfred Bettmen have | been placed at my command. Mr. Bett- | men is probably the leading expert on | the preparation of municipal legislation | in America. He has prepared a bill carrying out the above !deas which is | ready to be introduced as soon as the | Legislature convenes. Conferences will | be held between now and January with the official and semi-official bodies wi the area affected in order that | all may be completely informed and the | desires of all complied with as far as| possibly can be done without weakening the legislation.” | MODEL—22 $117.25 $16 ALL COMPLET! earth spins on its axis, e crt MODEL-31 AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS TO JOIN ATTACK ON APACHE MARAUDERS Mexican Army Officer and Arizona Police Chief to Lead Spring Expedition. By the Associated Press. DOUGLAS, Ariz, November 30.— Volunteers from many parts of Mexico and the United States have offered their services to a punitive expedition which has for its object the extermina- tion of a band of 15 Apache braves and their women. Th= depredations in Mexico and United States border towns by these marauders have long been a thorn in the side of both governments. About 600 have volunteered. They will be led in the latter part of March by Col. Hermenegildo Carrillo, of the Mexican federal army, and Leslie Gat- 1iff, chief of the Douglas, Ariz., police nto the mountain fastness 168 miles from Douglas, where the Indians have gone into Winter encampment. The band has been hunted for sev- | eral years. In 1926 it ambushed tht“ wife of Prancisco Fimbres. killed her. | mutilated the body and kidnaped her | 8-year-old son. Fimbres pledged the remainder of | his life to avenge the slaying and has dogged the renegrades’ trail ever since. Several times he has led small scouting expeditions into the mountains and located the band, byt by the time he returned wjth reinforcements the Apaches had moved on, A few weeks ago he returned from the mountains and reported the Indians had gone into camp in a can- yon. They will be unable to leave the camp until Spring suns melt the snow. The Fimbres boy is believed to be with them. Col. Carrillo, with 200 cavalrymen from the Sonora Barracks, will estab- lish a base at Baclrac, at the foot of the Sierra Maures and from that point will keep in communication by telephone with Douglas and Agua Prieta. The Indian band is believed to be the last of the tribe of the notorious Genonimo. CARNEGIE'S WORLD TRIP ENDS AT APIA U. S. Sends Ship From P:-.go-? Pago to Pick Up Stranded Scientific Party. By the Associated Press. PAGO-PAGO, Samoa, November 30. —The Carnegie, a non-magnetic yacht which in scientific research work rounded the earth several times and dared the North and South Polar re- gions socking data on magnetism and | atmospheric electricity, lies in the har- bor at Apia today a charred wreck. Her commander, Capt. J. P. Ault, is dead. several members of the crew arc| in the hospital and Tony Kelar, cabin | boy, is missing. An explosion occurred | late yesterday while gasoline was being | taken aboard. | Flames swept the wooden vessel al- most instantly and the Carnegie was' destroyed. Five other vessels were re- ported to have caught fire, burning tc the water's edge. Captain Ault is reported to have been blown from his quarterdeck into the water. He was taken into a rescuing boat, but died soon afterward. Eric Strenstrom of the crew was burncd severely and Karl Albin Sturk, Otto Ericsen and John Lindstrom less badly injured. * 2I'h! United States naval station dis- patched the Ontario to Apia, 60 miles away, to bring here Capt. Ault's body th the crew and scientists who had sailed the Carnegic on her voyage of scientific discovery. The commander of the Ontario was instructed to give ail aid possible. The Carnegie, built in 1909 for the Carnegie Institution of Washington, contained no iron or steel in her con- struetion. For more than 20 years she sailed the cceans, her personnel adding to the world’s knowledge of geogranhy and science. Among recent contribu- tions of her scientists was the finding of ths great submarine mountain rang=s off the South American coast last February and the definite proof rat the North Pcle wobbles as the uise that ended the Carnegie's s begun from Washington in The vessel carried a group stinguished scientists cquipped with apparatus to make the deep sea yield its secretz.

By the Associated Press. WOOSTER, Ohio, November 30.— Elias Arnold, 63, and his son, Arthur, 17, of Orrville, Ohio, who have been in prison for several months on their con- viction of kidnaping 4-year-old Melvin Horst from near his Orrville home, were counting the hours tonight wait- ing for the opening of their second trial here Monday. o The Horst boy, kidnaped December 7, 1928, has never been found. The Arnolds were convicted here last Spring after a bitter trial, in which the chief evidonce came from an 8-year-old boy, Charles Junior Hanah, | who said he saw Elias Arnold coax Melvin with an orange into the Arnold home and later saw one of the Arnolds take the boy out another door to a waiting automobile. According to the prosecution, the Arnolds stole Melvin to get revenge on his uncle, Roy Horst, marshal of Orr- ville, who had arrested the Arnolds several times on bootlegging charges. On the strength of errors in the trial and new evidence, attorneys for the Arnolds won them a new trial by order of the appellate court. e Pelee in Fresh Eruption.

By the Associated Press. | ATLANTA, November 30.—Ths South- ern Bell Telephone Co. plans to npendi $35,000,000 in the Southeast next year, President Ben S. Read announced to- | day. | He said he expected that amount will be required by the company next year for additions and replacements to meet the anticipated demand for service in the Stat:s of Alabama, Flor- ida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mis sissippi, North Carolina, South Caro- lina and Tennessee. Details of the expenditure to be mad: in each of the States have not been compieted, he said, “but the com- pany expects to meet every demand for service and to continue the ex pansion necessary to provide for the future telephone needs of the South- eastern States.” The plans of the company are based on an estimated net gain of 50,000 new telephones during 1930, which, the compeny said, is about the same num- || ber expected to be added this year. Major items in_the budget consist of $6,141,000 for exchange lines, $6,314,000 for long-distance additions and replace- ments, $5318.000 for central office equipment, $3,911,000 for buildings, $1.225,000 for the routine work of installing and removing tele- phones, $276,000 for right of way and $790.000 for miscellaneous projects. ‘The total of more than $11,000,000 for exchange lines and central office equipment is provided to care for anticipated demand for local exchange service for communities in which the company operat-s, and the $6,000,000 to be expended for long-distance service is an indication, the company said, of general business and industrial growth and expansion throughout the nine States.

By the Associated Press. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., November 30.— The scientific quest to learn whether man and gorillas_have a_common ancestor is simplified by facts published today in a gorilla study at Harvard University. The publication explodes former be- liefs that there are 15 different species of gorillas, and finds there is only 1. Although the Harvard work does not touch upon the ancestry question, it removes a lot of confusion from the re search pathway of those who compare apes and man. It shows precisely the family char- acteristics of the existing gorilla, and the measurements are of the same kind employed by anthropologists and paleontologists who study both pre- historic man and prehistoric apes. The gorilla studies were made by Dr. Harold J. Coolidge, jr.. assistant curator of mammals at the Museum of Com- parative Zoology. They are based on measurements of skulls and other bones of many of the 800 gorilla skeletons scattered through museums all over the Occidental world. X-rays were used to make some of the measurements. Many individual differences are described, and Dr. Cool- idge concludes that the ape family is divided into two subspecies. | One which lives in the forests of the | African west coast he calls the gormn\ gorilla gorilla, and the other, living in | the volcanic Kivu Mountains of Eastern | Congo is the gorilla gorilla beringei For short they are named the coast and mountain gorillas.
