PARK BOND ISSUE T0BE UP TONIGHT ‘Montgomery Federation to Centinue Meeting Recessed Tuesday Morning. By a Staff Correspondent of The St BETHESDA, Md, March 13.—Ap- proval of the general terms of proposed legislation to amend the organic law of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission is carried in | one of five reports of the Montgomery County Civic Federation's Committee on Public Finance and Budget which the federation will be asked to adopt at a meeting tonight in the Bethesda Elementary School. Recessed Meeting. Tonight's meeting is to be a con- tinuation of the session which recessed at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, when it became apparent that all necessary business to come before the federation could not be considered at that time. ‘Three of the remaining four reports of the Finance Committee already have been made public. The fourth report indorses the' proposal to grant county taxpayers the alternative of paying their taxes in annual or semi-annual install- ments. The only fault the committee finds with the proposed park legislation is the provision which would p°rmit re- tirement of bonds by a sinking fund. The resolution it will offer the fed- eration for adoptiori recommends that the bill be amended to eliminate the authority to crea sinking fund and m‘% the issuance of bonds in serial form only. ‘The posed bill would enable Mont- gomery County to take advantage of a Federal loan under the Cramton act, which authorizes a Federal loan to Maryland authorities of $3,000,000 and an outright gift of $1,500,000 for the acquisition of land in the stream valleys of Montgomery and Prince rges Countles. Bonds for Montgomery. Montgomery County's share of the funds would be $2.700,000 and Prince Georges' $1,800,000. The proposed legislation calls for the issuance of $1,200,000 in bonds by the Planning Commission for acquisition of land in Montgomery County. Regarding the sinking fund provision of the pr law, the report sets out: “The e: g law {)rovidzs that bonds of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission shall be re- tired by means of a sinl fund. The proposed legislation provides for their retirement serially by a sinking fund, but eliminates all the safeguards that the existing law throws around the sinking fund. Among these safeguards the specification of the character of securities in which the funds may be invested, the specification of the deposit and withdrawal procedure and the pro- visions for Xennldu for misuse of the sinking fund. ‘The elimination of these safeguards is serious and emphasize the well known evils and abuses possible under a sink- ing fund system. This committee rec- ommends that the authority to retire the bonds by means of a sinking fund be eliminated from the legis- lation and that the serial retirement system only be authorized. The serial retirement system now is used as to all bonds issued by the county com- missioners.” To Get School Beport. ‘The three other reports, which al- ready have been made public, call for indorsement of three bills now before the Maryland Legislature, The meas- ures are for the creation of a perma- nent board of assessment, the creation of a county disbursing committee and for the issuance of $2,144,000 school and road bonds. A report of the Committee on Schools also is to be presented at the federation | meeting tonight by the committee chair- man, Robert E. Bondy. $15,000 GARAGE FIRE DUE TO WATER LACK Blaze at Suitland Spreads as En- gines Travel Two Miles to Get Supply. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. SUITLAND, Md, March 12.—With the almost total lack of water prevent- ing firemen from rendering much serv- ice, fire last night destroyed the place of businest of the Padgett Motor & Tractor Co., at Suitland road and Marl- boro pike, causing damage estimated by firemen at approximately $15,000. Pire companies arriving on the scene from nearby localities found the blaze confined to the office of the building, but when no water could be obtained from fire plugs in the vicinity, only the comparatively small booster tanks car- ried by the apparatus were available for use. Each time these tanks, carrying about 150 gallons of water, were emptied the engines had to be driven 2 miles to be refilled and th: fire rapidly got out of control. i Suitland is on the District Heights water system. District Heights recently made a plea to the Washington Sub- urban Sanitary Commission to extend the sanitary district to District Heights. Pire companies responding to the alarm were Capitol Heights, Greater Capitol Heights, Seat Pleasant, Boule- vard Heights and Marlboro. | point THE EV. NEW POLICE SUITS PROVIDED BY BILL Measure at Annapolis Also Would Fix Penalty for Imitation. BY GEORGE PORTER. Staff Correspondent of The Star ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 12. — A brand new set of standards for the uniforms of the Maryland State police terday by representatives of Montgom- ery and Prince Georges Counties. The others seek to prevent corrupt influencing cf agents, inccrporate the town of Cheverly and give the Prince Georges County Volunfeér Firemen's Association $15,000 annually instead of Protracted Debate on Bonus. ‘Tte five bills affecting the two coun- ties were calendered for third reading in the Hcusj, but the protracted de- bate on the tate bonus proposal pre- vented the lower branch from reaching mfi file before adjournment until noon ay. The State police uniform bill, an ad- ministration measure, was presented by Senator Robert G. Hilten of Montgom- ery County. Three styles of uniforms, for dress, service and summer wear, were described in the bill. A cap of seal brown elastique, eight- French chauffeur style, with black braid, black visor and chin strap, would top all three types of uniform. The cap wculd bear a g>ld-plated shield in the form of the State coat of arms. A dress coat of the same material as the cap, with four-buttones patch potkets, with flaps, was prescribed in the bill. It would be an eight-button, single-breasted style, with standing col- lar. Breeches of olive drab elastic and a Sam Browne belt, with black, high- laced shoes, complete the outfit. Uniform for Service. A four-button, single-breasted coat, with roll collar, similar to the dress coat, is prescribed for service wear, with breeches the same as tife dress uniform. A cork helmet and shirt of olive drab serge. worn without coat, would feature the Summer mode for the road officers. Buttons of guilt, bearing the Mary- land coat of arms, and gold-plated Maryland shields for collar ornaments were among the other details cited. A fine of $25 to $100 would be im- posed on any conviction of imitating or using the standard uniform. The bill is in accordance with a recommen- dation of E. Austin Baughman, com- missioner of motor vehicles, under whose department the officers work. The bill to prevent the corrupt in- fluencing of agents, servants and em- ployes by offers of graft, bribes, etc. was sponsored by Delegate Marvin Far- rington of Montgomery County. makes such an offense punishable by fines ranging from $10 to $500, and de- clares that “every contract of sale or purchase made in violation of the pro- visions of this bill shall be voidable by the principal of the agent” involved. Delegate Farrington, who imtroduced the measure of his own volition, said it is in accordance with anti-graft laws in many other States. The only Mary- land statute of this nature is limited to the nursery business, he was advised by the legislative reference bureau. accordance with an agreement reached at a conference Tucsday night the entire Prince Georges County dele- gation jointly introduced the bill rais- ing the annual allotment of the vol- unteer firemen’s association from $5,000 to $15,000. The bill merely cl the figures in the present law, m dreds the manner of the disbursement of the funds to the association. ‘The Prince delegation also 8] d the bill to incorporate the towns of Cheverly and South Cheverly, a referendum, emergency measure. It authorizes a mayor and four coun- cilmen to serve without pay, upon elec- tion, to two-year terms. These town officials would be empowered to levy a tax upon the incorporated area of not more than 25 cents per $100 for street improvements, lighting, drainage and police protection. Referendum Provided. ‘The bill specifies that the referendum on incorporation bz held within 60 days sfter its passage, and if the majority vote in favor of incorporation, the mayor and councilmen shall be chosen at a regulgr town election on the first Mon- day of May. Citizens of the community designated in the bill to conduct the referendum are Fred W. Gast, Pred W. Nickel, Carl ‘W. Riddick and Bert H. Wise, judges of election; Caroline R. Borden and Wil- liam R. Gaither, clerks. A delegation from Berwyn Heights yesterday asked the Prince Georges delegates to dissolve the charter of their town. They claimed it was adopted by 8 small majority in 1924 and 2& resi- dents no longer want to live under it. The town has no bond issue or other outstanding debt, according to Kent R. Mullikin, delegation chairman. Sensing that the town commissioners and perhaps other residents of Berwyn Heights might oppose the abolition of the charter, Mr. Mullikin instructed the citizens to prepare written evidence of the sentiment of the community for the guidance of the legislators, . CABIN JOHN BILL EXPECTED TODAY By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 12.—Having set their house in order, members of the Cabin John Park Volunteer Fire Department today expected to have the bill to create a special fire taxing area to be served by their company, passed without further delay by the General Assembly. The bill was introduced early in the session, but has been withheld from passage pending settlement of a fac- tional dispute within the company. Official notification that the depart- ment was now functioning as & whole ‘was given the Montgomery County dele- gates vesterday by David 8. Tuohey, president. Mr. Tuohey also advised the legislators that the department had affiliated with the State Firemen’s Association, and would be backed by that organization in its le’isllflve requests.

Special Dispatch to The Btar. ANNAPOLIS, March 12.—A bill giv- ing United States Senator Millard E. dings of Havre de Grace the right to build islands in the Susquehan: River and the Chesapeake Bay, near his hcme, was introduced in the Mary- land Senate yesterday afternoon. The Senator would receive this right and be given a clear title to any islands he might build, tke title to continue to his helrs, successors or assigns, by a channel through marshes of Har- Chesapeake Bay immediately south and west of the Havre de Grace City Park.” This marshy fill, it is understood, has stopped the flow of the tide and is caus- ing stagnation in parts of the Susque- hanna. “It is thought,” the resoluticn con- tinues, “that the expense of dredging a channel through might be paid for by allowing a person or persons doing the said work to hold title to the is'ands formed by such dredging.” ‘The bill reads that the General As- redge the Gaanme at his the ghannel at his own expense and further states that the “said Mil- lard E.

About 1,500 members and guests of n Board of Trade last nig) itnessed demonstrations of ex- plorations into the realm of physics, staged at the Willard Hotel by two re- earch specialists in this fleld. * The capacity attendance at the show heard a beam of light broadcast a song, heard also the explosions of atoms, saw a large electric light bulb lighted by the striking of a match, heard light become audible and saw liquid air bofl. The scientists, L. A. Hawkins, execu- tive engineer, and Ellis Manning, physicist, of the research laboratory of the General Electric Co., explained the natural phenomena behind each of the demonstrations, Scientists Were Guests. ‘The demonstrations featured the March meeting of the trade body. Spe- clal guests were a number of Pederal and District officials, scientists from the Bureau of Standards, the National Academy of Sciences, National Geo- graphic Soclety and a number of phy- sicians and X-ray experts. The demonstrators last night at- tempted vainly to ring a bell made of lead and having a rubber clapper. They then immersed the bell in a container of liqud of highly compre: alr, froze the leaden bell and then with easy motion made it ring out audibly. This demonstration was followed by one showing how light could be “frozen” and “preserved” and later brought into existence by this same liquid air. Mr. Hawkins explained this process, one of the effects of a cathode-ray tube is to cause some substances to become brightly fluorescent, or to give off light after the raying has been ped. Dif- ferent colors of light are produced by different substances, and different col- ors are also produced at different tem- peratures, Became Visible in Dark. The sclentists produced a strip of such fluorescent screen material which had been subjected to a cathode-ray bombardment at the Schenectady labo- ratory and which had been brought to Washington emersed in a vacuum bottle of liquid air. When this screen was removed from the bottle it could not at first be seen in the hall, which had been darkened. But as the material warmed up toward room temperature, it showed a variety of changing colors. As a side light show, the scientists employed liquid air as the propeliing force in an improvised pop-gun. Some of the liquid air, at a temperature hun- of degrees b:low zero, was poured into a tall metal container and a cork, with ribbon streamers attached, was quickly munded into the mouth of the bottle. & moment the liquid air con- tainer, getting the effect of the warm room temperature, caused the frozen air to boll, building up a gas pressure that fired the cork far out into the audience. N In treating the audience to the sound of the explosions of atoms, the scien- tists held small metal pleces containing uranium and radium compounds before an apparatus containing a thin alumi- num window. As the uranium and radium compounds threw off “electrons” and so-called alpha particles, or helium fons, into space, the air within the aluminum chamber was made electrical- ly conducting and the resulting “explo- slons” were broadcast by a loud speaker. “Electric Eye” Shown. A mysterious - looking contraption, known as a photo-electric tube or “elec- tric eye,” was the business part of the demonstration of the transformation of light into sound. ‘The light of a burning match was flashed before this “eye,” and it was heard as a sound audible throughout the room, through the loud speaker. At the side of the room was & porta- ble phonograph. A popular song record was set going, but no sound was audi- ble. Instead, the record was connected with a lamp that sent out an eerie- looking light beam of low intensity. When this light beam was directed across the room to strike the ‘“electric eye” apparatus it transformed the light rays into energy that produced the song, In natural form, from the loud speaker, Then came the climax of the show, the lighting of a large electric bulb by the striking of a match nearby. Match Lights Bulb, For this demonstration the scientists employed a tube which contains mer- cury vapor at low’pressufes, one that can be used with low voltages, which can control large amounts of power. Mr. Manning lighted a common match in front of the photo-electric tube and a 1,000-watt incandescent lamp standing nearby burst into bril- liant light momentarily at the same time that the bulb of the photo-electric tube showed a pale blue light. The in- candescent bulb then was moved to a position directly in front of the “electric eye,” and when the process was re- i)!a'.ed the incandescent bulb continued lighted until the scientist stepped be- tween the two instruments to shut off the light from the incandescent bulb which was operating itself through the other tube. ‘Mr. Manning, however, sald that this E:l:nomenon Wwas not re- garded as any is for a claim to “per- petual motion.” BAY SPAN REPORT STIRS UP DEBATE Divergent Views Expressed by Members on Assembly Com- mittee’s Findings.

ANNAPOLIS, March 12.—Divergent views on the report of the General Assembly’s jolnt subcommittee on the advisability of building a bridge across the Chesapeake Bay to link the East- ern and Western Shores were voiced by ‘members of the Legislature yester- day following the submission of the report to the Finance Committee of the Senate and Ways and Means Commit- tee of the House.

By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 12—Un- moved by nearly an hour of pleading by Delegate Andrew P. Szamski of Bal- timore City, author of the measure, the House of Delegates yesterday killed the State soldiers’ bonus bill, which would have required a $9,000,000 bond issue, when it voted down a motion to sub- stitute the bill for the unfavorable re- port of the Ways and Means Com- mittee. The motion was defeated, 46 to 64, and the House then adopted the unfa- vorable report by an oral vote. A verbal tilt between Delegate Charles C. Marbury of Prince Georges County and Mr. Szamski and the seating of J. Enos Ray, chalrman of the Democratic State Central Committee and former speaker of the House, on the rostrum interrupted the protracted debate. Questions Author. Delegate Marl asked the author of the bill if he joined the Army with the idea of getting a bonus. . “No, but others told me I would,” Mr, Szamski replied, and then wanted to know if Mr. Marbury was an officer or served in the Quartermaster “Corpse.” Answering that he was an enlisted man in the 110th Field Artillery, Mr. Mar- bury drew applause from the crowded alleries by declaring, “Not all of us gld any idea of getting anything out of the service but our dollar-a-day pay for defending our country.” drew from Mr. Szamski an admission that he was a conscript. Shortly thereafter Speaker Francis A. Michel noticed Mr. Ray seated with the Prince Georges delegation and invited him to share the rostrum. Prolonged cheers greeted the gray-haired political veteran as he mounted the steps and was handed the gavel. A near-riotous stage was reached in the debate a few minul later with a threat to seat Delegate Szamski, when he assalled Delegate James J. Lindsay, Baltimore County, chalrman of the Ways and Means Committ: “There is no doubt that the chief howls against the bonus ccme from the gentlemen who rolled up millions while the poor conscripted men were shivering and wallowing in the mud of the camps and trenches,” Delegate Szamski de- clared. “It is true that in 1922 Maryland the bonus bill to redeem itself, t today-it is a different story, as the floor leader (Delegate Lindsay) seems to rule that this bill is a raid on the State, treasury,” he said in seeking substitu- tion of the bill for the unfavorable re- port. “Well, the people have a right to raid the treasury or do anything that is their will in the matter of paymg their debt to the men and women who fcught to make the State part or a nation free from the heel of a trampling invader.. Calls It Just Obligation. “Purther, the State of Maryland can- not sit in the halls of justice with its sister States until it has paid its just obligation to these veterans. I want to impress upon you that this is not a matter of charity, but one of obligation. It is an honest debt, owned by the State to its veterans—an obligation ;lll‘e‘%h“ other States already have ful- Delegate Lindsay attacked the meas- ure as unsound, and was interrupted several times by Delegate Szamski, and at one time was ordered seated when he demanded the floor aiter Lindsay had moved the previous question, calling for a vote. ‘The vote polled for substitution of the bill for the unfavorable report was re- garded as a surprise, and had the Bal- timore City Delegate polled the entire strength of the city delegation behind his motion it would have carried.
