C, MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1930. T0 FORMAN CHARGE Cites Manager-Plan Backers to Refute Claim of In- experience. By a Btaft Corresvondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va, October 27— Taking exception to the statement yes- terday of Robert H. Forman, executive secrétary of the Voters’ Service Club, to the effect that the county manager lan of government is “being sponsored Ey & number of individuals who have had no experience in government,” the al committee of the Civic Federa- tion in charge of the campaign today declared this to be untrue. “Prominent among the sponsors of the plan,” a statement from the com- mittee says, “is Walter U. Varney. chairman of the Bar Association Com- mittee which studied the plan and who was for many years town counsel for the town of Potomac prior to its an- nexation by Alexandria.” Cites Others. Harry A. Pellows of East Falls Church, formerly méyor of the town of Falls Church; Judge Harry R. Thomas, who has served for years as judge of the Police Court and who was a member of the Bar Association Committee which recommended the plan; Reid, delegate from Arlington Count; to the General Assembly and father of the act which provides for the electicn now bein on the question of the nge, “who,” the statement declares, “we are reliably informed, of adopting the county manager vlan.” and State Senator Frank L. Ball, who is reported as favoring the plan. ‘Certainly,” declares the committee, ‘the individuals just enumerated do not it into Mr. Forman's category of those who have had no experience in government.” Question of Cost. As to the question of an increase in the cost of operating the local govern- ment the committee says that “it is the hope of the advocates of the new form of government that the board will :mpay 3 hllhach’:l I‘n‘lln as coun- y manager an possible _that they will have to pay from $5,000 to $7,500 to get the right type of official. At the most it will increase the county’s salary bill by $3,000, which is an in- significant sum out of the annual bud- get of $700,000. A good county man- ager will save the taxpayers his salary many times over.

He was brought to the hospital | by Richard Latimer of Silver Hill, Md,, | and Catherine Dove of Forestville, Md., according to Sheriff Early.

DRUE ENTERPRSE RESLTS I SUIT Trio Name A. E. Sixsmith, William A. Roberts and Union Drug Co. Arthur E. Sixsmith, an employe in the office of Secretary of the Treasury | Mellon; William A. Roberts, assistant corporation counsel for public utilities, and the Union Drug Co., which is op- | erating a drug concession gt Union | Station, were sued today by Joseph and | Pauline Shore, 5031 Conduit roa Warren B. Nichols, 5900 Dal place. The plaintiffs seek to compel the defendants to carry out an alleged oral agreement by which they were to be partners with Sixsmith in the ven- ture. They assert that Sixsmith is conducting the business in his own in- terest and contrary to the interests of Roberts and the plaintiffs. ‘The plaintiffs, through Attorneys T. S. Settle and Francis L. Neubeck, tell the court they concelved the idea of obtaining permission to run a drug and novelty store at Union Station and engaged Sixsmith to assist them in ob- taining the concession. From the Fall of 1929 until last June, it is stated, ne- gotiations were in progress and a de- cision reached by the Washington Ter- minal Co. to grant the concession if a company was incorporated. Sixsmith employed Roberts to secure a charter from the State of Delaware and held & meeting, at which Roberts, Sixsmith and a third person, who later refused to serve, were named as directors. The plaintiffs assert they had no notice of the proposed meeting and question the validity of the proceedings through which Sixsmith was named as president of the concern. Roberts was named secretary-treasur The court is told that under the oral agreement Joseph Shore was to have 30 per cent of the profits; Pauline Shore, 10 per cent; cent, and Sixsmith, 30 per cent. They say they have asked Sixsmith to issue the stock according to this agreement, but he has not done so. The appoint- ment of a receiver is asked and the proper assignment of the stock of the company requested. SENTENCED l-'OR ASSAULT Charged with assaulting & policeman and drunkenness, James Kirby, 22 years old, 300 block of Third street, was sen- tenced to serve 35 days in jail or pay $35 fine in Police Court today. Kirby, according to police, partici- pated in a fight after a dance in the 1300- block of G street Saturday night. Policeman S. Preston Smith of the first precinct attempted to arrest him and was kicked by Kirby. Smith also de- clared that Kirby knocked his cap from his head. The man was locked up at the pre- cinet until his trial today. Nichols, 30 per | CIVIC BODY REPLIES DENY CIRCULATION OF FALSE STORIES Reason for Tube Company's! Merger With Steel Firm Is Explained. By the Associated Press. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohlo, October 37.— The charges of plaintiffs’ counsel that directors and officers of Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. circulated “ghost stories” about the company’s future prospects to justify the merger with Bethlehem Steel Corporation = were answered today by Defense Attorney Frederick H. Wood. He said that no attempt ever had been made to magnify the effect of the position in which the Youngstown com- pany found itself by reason of change in the art of making pipe. : “No one ever sought to say that Youngstown was irredeemably bound for the rocks,” the attorney asserted. “Of course the Youngstown company has the resources and the ability to extricate itself from that position. “But the ckoice,” Wood said, “‘was whether the company should meet the | expense of $30,000,000 for modernizing its pipe and sheet mills by a bond issue, by issning new stock or by merging with a company that would bear two- thirds of the cost. He said that while Youngstown’s position in respect of the cha: con- ditions was not magnified, neither was it minimized, and that the company decided the most advantageous way out was to merge. The question of & merger with some other concern which could offer it a diversity of products had been before the board for seven years, Wood said. ‘The Bethlehem attorney resumed his argument for the defense this morning jafter a week end adjournment. At least the remainder of this week is to be spent in arguments with which Judge David Jenkins will take under advisement the application of the in- terests of Cyrus 8. Baton, Cleveland financier, for an injunction against the merger. ‘Wood pictured Eaton as a man with interests widely diversified and one who is seeking power through a steel combination in the Midwest. He asked the court to consider whether Eaton or the Youngstown directors, whose histories Wood reviewed, had the good of the stockholders most at heart. o DR. CLAUDE 8.
