FREEZONE MACKEY EXPLAINS 0L PLANTPOSTIN Arlington County Candidate for Congress Tells Why He Is Opposed to Permit. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va, June 11.—Capt. Crandal Mackey, one of Arlington County’s two candidates for the Demo- cratic nomination for the House of Rep- resentatives from the eighth congres- sional district of Virginia, is violently opposed to the location of the Sun Ofl Co. on the proposed site at Rosslyn, between the Lee Highway and the Po- tomac River. Among the reasons he cites why the plant should be barred is that the loca- tion is not appropriate; that it would cause a fire hazard; that the proposed wharves would obstruct the flow of wa- ter in flood times, and that it would interfere with contemplated construc- tion of the George Washington Memo- rial Park by the Federal Government. Mr. Mackey's Statement. Details of his opposition are contained }1.:} the following statement issued by m: “I am opposed to the Sun Ofl Co. locating at the place proposed because there are locations in the County of Arlington and down the river that are appropriate for such an industry and that will not interfere with the rights of homeowners and the public. I have a selfish objection to the proposed loca- tion because it will store five million gallons of gasoline near my home and near the road to my home. Thirty-five other famililes in my neighborhood will be exposed to the hazard of fire and explosion. Such explosion would spread a blanket of flame from the Key Bridge to the Chain Bridge, destroying all the vegetation and nmgnificent trees it has taken & century to grow. “Imagine 5,000,000 gallons of gaso- line on fire at one time, throwing its clouds of fire over the Potomac River to the whole river front of Georgetown and enveloping the buildings of George- town University and residences on the Canal and Conduit roads. We who have lived a lifetime beside the Po- tomac in the neighborhood where it is proposed to put the tanks of the Sun Oil Co. would live in constant anxiety, nervousness, depression and terror of such explosions. Gasoline mixed with air is an explosive more powerful than dynamite and no human power can combat it when on fire. Fire engines are helpless and water only spreads the flames. “Many courts have enjoined the lo- cation of tanks of gasoline in sparsely settled areas where the capacity of the tanks were less than a hundred thousand gallons. Courts have declared that no human precautions could prevent explosions, because the human element of care and neglect enter in the equation, as well as oversight, in- difference and forgetfulness. The dan- ger of lightning, short circuits from electric wires, on boats and trucks, and along the conduits have caused fires from gasoline, and overhead cables and wires along highways where the pipes conveying gasoline are located have caused disastrous explosions. Where such explosions have occurred on hills sloping toward rivers or near ravines or stream running to nearby rivers the whole surface of rivers has been cov- ered with flames to the danger and loss of shipping and loss of life of pleasure seekers on the river. “The proposed wharves extending out in the river would certainly obstruct the flow of water in times of flood and cause pack ice to accumulate in the Winter to break up in the Spring to the danger of the Georgetown water front and the shippping waiting there. No benefit could come to any one except the stock- holders of the Sun Oil Co., and that & doubtful benefit. Such a company, as shown by experience, pays little taxes to Arlington County, as the income that the oil company receives is from sales without the State at the place of deliv- ery, not taxable as income in Virginia. To use the Potomac west of the Key Bridge for commercial purposes is not wise or useful. Commercial uses west of Key Bridge would destroy the beauty of the river that is now a playground for ca- noeists, a great water-covered park ex- tending to the Chain Bridge without at present a commercial enterprise on either shore. Others Would Have Right. “If the Sun Oil Co. can enter upon this playground with its wharves and tank ships and storage tanks, others will have the same right and soon the sur- face of the water will be covered with oil and gasoline and its use as a resort for pleasure destroyed. The purpose of the Crampton bill is to make a beauti- ful parkway along the Potomac on both sides from the Key Bridge to the Great Falls. Certainly any commercial enter- prise, to say nothing of objectionable enterprises, would profane the whole area for private profit. “If the park layout is constructed, the value of land on both sides of the river in the park area will be enor- mously benefited. If the Sun Oll lay- out is permitted. the value of land on both sides of the river will be dam- aged, if not destroyed. For my part, I want no private interests to get a foot- hold on either shore of the Potomac between the Key Bridge and Chain Bridge or at Great Falls. I am for the Government development of a power plant at Great Falls and the exclusion of the power trust in that and_every other area. The people of the District of Columbia and Virginia are paying 10 times as much for electricity as the people of Hamilton, Ontario, where electricity is furnished for 1 cent per kilowatt hour under government owner- ship, and a private company is meeting the government rate at a profit—1 cent per hour after 60 kilowatts. At Bt. Prances, Canada, on the American bor- der, electricity is being furnished for 1!5 cents per kilowatt hour on the Ca- nadian side and by the power trust for 12 cents per kilowatt hour on the Min- nesota side. God help the beauty of the Potomac and the people if any private industry of ofl or electricity can keep them chained to the earth.

Edison told interviewers here yesterday that he would urge President Hoover to seek election for a second term. ‘The aged inventor was busily engaged in packing in preparation for starting | to his home at West Orange, N. J. today, but he paused to talk with his visitors. He said, “The United States Govern- ment is the most inefficient big bus- iness organization in operation today,” but he added he did not blame the President. The vast size of the bus- iness, he said, was responsible. Asked concerning the soundness of big business mergers, he replied: “Mergers are sound up to the point where the vast size of the business tends to mismanagement. The Gov- ermment is the worst-managed business in the United States. Turning to the recent big drop in crude rubber prices, the inventor, who | is seeking & synthetic substitute for | rubber, said “they are selling crude rub- ber beiow the cost of production. This | is a poor thing for everybody. Labor in the rubber countries gets only 30 cents a day. Asked if he favored high wages for labor, Mr. Edison, who works 14 hours a day and enjoys it, said: “Certainly, why not give the laborer a good wage as long as the business he works for is making money. “Henry Ford's idea in that particular case is right. I agree with him there.” ‘The inventor sald there are more than 700 varieties of plants growing around P:rt Myer and he had tested all of them. About 10 per cent of the lot con- tained rubber, but golden rod is still the best. It is growing fine and making more rubber every day, he added. SHRINE POTENTATE PRAISES D. C. TEAM Tells Toronto Delegates Ceremony | at Almas Temple Was Inspiration. Special Dispatch to The Star. TORONTO, Ontario, June 11.—Almas Temple, A. A. O. N. M. 8. was con- spicuous yesterday before the Shrine of North America, when Imperial Poten- tate Leo V. Youngworth, in addressing the delegates in his annual address, referred to his special visitation to Almas Temple on April 3. He sald: It was my privilege to pay an official visit to Almas Temple, where I enjoyed one of the most unique cere- monial sessions of the year. Through the efforts of Potentate James C. Hoyle, a degree team, composed of past grand masters of the District of Colum- bia, conferred the work. It was beauti- fully done, a real inspiration. I was ad- vised that there were 21 past grand masters of the District of Columbia present. As I witnessed the wonderful work of these great Masons I was im- pressed with the desirability of the Shrine keeping in closer touch with Masonic bodies, and I belleve that the efforts of Almas Temple are worthy of emulation and I suggest that all tem- ples pursue a like activity and thereby secure the close co-operation of our Masonic brethren in the work of the Shrine. I cannot commend this cere- monial too highly. James C. Hoyle, illustrious potentate of Almas, is bring- ing Masonry and the Shrine into closer relationship and harmony and the Im- perial Council is indebted to him for his vision and sane leadership.’ g S Restaurant Stolen.

POLICEMEN BEATEN IN ASSAULT SERIES One Prisoner of Five Unruly Captives Is Sent to Hos- pital After Clash. following & wholesale series of assaults upon officers yesterday and last night by five prisoners. Pvt. Emlous Barnett of the eighth precinct was cut and bruised and then fired upon while placing & man under arrest in Temperance alley. The sus- pect, Allen Weldon, colored, 23 years old of 1107 R street, was overpowered in a heated struggle with Barnett and is under police guard at Freedmen’s Hospital, where he is being attended for severe lacerations of the scalp. He will be charged with assault. | Barnett was passing the Thirteenth street _entrance to Temperance alley, | near U, when he saw Weldon coming | out with a sult case. Ordered to halt, the man dropped the bag and ran. The | policeman caught him, but Weldon | broke away and ran into a house. As the policeman crashed through the door- way Weldon stunned him with a flat iron. Barnett staggered to his feet and grabbed a hammer, closing in on his | opponent. He prevented Weldon from | reaching for a pistol and blackjack and Dbeat the colored man. | Pvt. Merlin E. Swanson of the third | precinct was still in Emergency Hos- | pital today as a result of stab wounds inflicted yesterday by Mrs. Mary De- penbrock, who afterward was taken to Gallinger Hospital for mental observa- tion. Detective F. A. Truscott of the vice squad was punched in the nose last night by Mrs. Mary Peretti, 45, when the squad raided her home, 515 Third street, in search of liquor. Sixty quarts of alleged wine were seized, and the woman was arrested on charges of {l- legal possession and the sale of six drinks. In earlier raids Fred Myers, 50, of 203 H street and Pete Montine of 617 K street were charged with sale and pos- session of liquor. Mrs. Helen, Heindrich, 38 years old, of 1461 Harvard street was ked on two charges of assault, disorderly conduct | and destruction of private property. She had slapped her step-daughter, Miss Helen Heindrich, and then attacked Po- liceman M. P. Donohue when he went to arrest her. Mrs. Heindrich obtained her release on $1,000 bond. The attack on the stepdaughter fol- lowed closely the filing of a petition by Frank Heindrich, the husband, to annul his marriage. The two were married November 29. The husband told the District Supreme Court yester- day in the petition that he did not learn until last month that Mrs. Hein- drich obtained a divorce from & former husband in_ Virginia last July 6, which prohibited her from remarrying within six_months. Detectives C, H. Warder and J. J. Tolson of the eleventh precinct were treated at the Naval Air Station dis- pensary for minor injuries received when they arrested Elmer Neal, colored, of 2602 Bowen road southeast.

HITS AMERICAN COLLEGES | MEXICO CITY, June 11 (#).—Horacio Nunez, president 'of the National Con- | federation of Students, charged in an interview with EI Universal Grafico yesterday that American schools in Northern Mexico were violating Mexi- | can laws by making Protestant religious instruction_ obligatory. He mentioned Palmore College in Chihuahua and Roberts College in Saltillo, and added that American schools in various parts of Mexico— | including Mexico City—gave instruction along lines derogatory to Mexico. Mexican laws prohibit the teaching | of any form of religion in public or| private schools. | | maker DRY LEAGUE ASKS PAYBILL PASSACE City Will Suffer if Measure Is Not Enacted, Shoemaker States. From the office of the Anti-Saloon League of the District of Columbia, Supt. Albert E. Shoemaker has issued an appeal for passage of the fire and police pay bill, declaring that increased pay for the city's protectors would go & long way toward .mproving law en- forcement. » He declared that the public would regard Chairman Simmcns of the House subcommittee on appropriations as a “dutlful public servant,” if he would wait until the next session to remedy any wrongs in the bill and permit 1t to pass now without further delay. If the bill fails now, Shoe- belleved, Washington would suffer. Simmons has blocked passage of the bill “I believe the Anti-Saloon League of the District of Columbia, while it has taken no formal action on the matter,” sald the statement, made public today, “naturally joins’ with all good citizens in favoring prompt en- actment of legislation granting ade- quate pay to the policemen &nd fire- men of the District. The league is interested in law enforcement and satisfactory pay for the public’s pro- tectors will go a long way toward im- proving the morale of both policemen and firemen, with resulting improve- | ment in Jaw enforcement. With this in mind, I hope Repre- sentative Robert G. Simmons of Ne- braska will withdraw his opposition to the long-pending bill increasing the pay of District policemen and firemen, in order that it may be enacted before Congress adjourns. “The public will regard Mr, Simmons as a dutiful public servant, if now, having called attention to discrepancies in existing laws, he allows the pay bill to be enacted. There will be time enough at the next session ¢f Congress to remedy any wrongs in existing law and I am sure the various committees of Congress and the business and cit- izen associations of the city +ill co- operate at that time in perfecting such legislation. The defenders of the lives and prop- erty of the people should be fairly com- pensated, we all agree, and that is why the citizens of Washington favor this increased pay bill. And aside from its other benefits, increased pay scales will attract to the ranks of the two departments & better class of men. “The time for adjustment of Con- gress is nearing and if this bill falls of enactment, the Nation's Capital will suffer. There has been a marked in- crease in morale in the police and fire departments ever since. Congress began consideration of this bill. The men and officers have realized that Congress is as interested in perfecting the govern- ment of our city as are its citizens. And the work of these two depart- ments has improved as a result in the last few months. “If this bill now falls, there is cer- tain to be a letdown in the efficiency | and morale of both departments and I trust Mr. Simmons will not assume that responsibility.” Vacation News Suppressed.
