\ 'q‘ ' '. ADOPT PRINCIPLES INCEMETERY FIGHT Bradley Hills Citizens Draft Plan to Be Used to Test Applications. BY HOWARD M. BAGGETT, Staff Correspondent of The Star. BRADLEY HILLS, Md., April 26.—A set of principles, which in the opinion of the organization should be used to test any application for a permit to operate a cemetery in the suburban area of Montgomery County west of Rock Creek, was adopted unanimously by the Bradley Hills Community League, meeting at the Congressional Country Club here last night. The principles were presented by a special committee, headed by W. R. Tuckerman, chairman. They will be referred to the county commissioners and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, with the request that no permit for a cem- etery be granted where the applicant cannot show that the conditions have been met. Oppose Cemetery Site. Prior to the adoption of the set of principles, the league unanimously adopted s resolution strongly opposing the proposal of a cemetery on prop- erty at the junction of River road and Bradley Boulevard. This resolution op- poses the petition of Fulton R. Gor- don, now before the Circuit Court, in an action to compel the county to al- low the cemetery. The members of the league were urged by President Charles H. Merryman to personally at- tend the court hearing on this matter, date for which has not yet been set, and to write letters of protest. The resolution opposed the cemetery by Mr. Gordon on the grounds that Bradley Hills was originally estab- lished as a residential district, that there have recently been important ad- ditions of high-grade residential con- struction and country club improve- ments in the area, and that the ground at the intersection of the two roads is not _suitable for cemetery pu as it Sight Is Restored VWithout Treatment To Eyes of Patient By the Associated Press.

CONVENTION UNITS WILL MERGE WORK Hotel Men to Close Bureau and Aid Activities of Greater Capital Committee. At & meeting of the Washington Hotel Men's Association yesterday, it was voted that that organization would discontinue the operation of its Con- vention Bureau and merge it with the convention activities of the Greater National Capital Committee of the ‘Washington Board of Trade. The Con- vention Bureau operated by the Wash- ington Hotel Men's Association has been in existence for about 10 years. It was originally started by a group represent- ing various organizations in the city, together with the hotel men and was finally taken over in its entirety by the Hotel Men's Association.

Principles Set Forth. The set of principles by which ceme- tery applications should be measured as proposed by the league's action That the location should be mnear enough to Washington to be commer- cially practicable; should be reasonably close to & main highway, but not con- spicuously visible therefrom; that the ground be suitable in contour and other physical features; that there be assur- ance of development of plans worked out by competent experts and also as- surance of experienced management, and that the project be properly financed with trust agreements to as- sure proper development and mainte- pance. ‘The report also states that there is a meed for a modern cemetery established on high standards in the area to care for growing needs and to put an end to frequent attempts to establish ceme- teries at undesirable locations. The committee is to continue its in- vestigations of possible suitable loca- tions for cemetery sites. Members of the committee preparing their report in addition to Mr. Tuckerman were Maj. Edward A. Keys, Col. A. B. Barber and B. R. Parker. After a long discussion which was ‘participated in by a large number of those present including Albert G. Hahn, the league adopted a fesolution stating that whereas it is understood that the county commissioners on appeal from the decision of the Park and Planning C&mml&sm‘ha‘ve unmuve\:; fgnslder!fl gran 8 Joxtion of the rezon- ing petition g!

It was stated that the county com- missioners would hold a rehearing on this matter this afternoon, and a com- mittee headed by Maj. Keys, Mr. Tuck- erman and Col. Barber were named to appear in opposition. The resolution stated that most of the property owners who indorsed the 1 petition are opposed to the of the rezon- ing as now under consideration by the county.

It was also suggested by Maj Lee, it was reported, that the Potomac road might be shoul- dered with macadam for less money | than concrete. Maj.

After a surprise call at the White advocated to President Hoover a plan of combining farming and industry un- der which factory workers could save | $500 a year by raising part of their own foodstuffs. ‘The automobile manufacturer, sur- | rounded by newspaper men in the White | House lobby, said he had been working for three months to smooth out details of such a plan. He added, however, he was not yet ready to announce its de- tails in full. Ford intimated that the idea he had been experimenting with on his Dear- born Farm, with Ford factory hands, was to have men working in the plants spend part of their time in small scale | scientific farming. Surprised by Reporters. He indicated his idea would involve large factories distributing their work- | ers over farm lands, or providing land within reach, on which, during a com- paratively small part of the year, they could raise much of the foodstufls needed for their family tables. Ford appeared surprised and some- what startled when suddenly surround- ed by a score of newspaper men &s he | left the President’s office. | Asked what had brought him to the Capital, he replied, smilingly, that he ing over some flower gardens.” He said that Mrs. Ford, a garden | enthusiast, was with him and that they intended to drive from Washington to Richmond, possibly stopping en route.

I mean by that old-style, large-size bills that might have been hidden for some time.” Replying to inquiries whether he had talked over any phases of the economic situation with the Chief Executive, Ford sald he had voiced views already fa- miliar to the President, “If the people who quit business to go Into gambling several years ago would quit that and go back to work at pro- ducing something they could sell all they produce,” he said. Regarding prohibition, Mr. Ford said, “I know nothing about it. My idea is it is in the Constitution and out of my life. For my part, I think we should leave prohibition just as it is.” Mr. Ford sald he knew nothing about the so-called economic features of pro- hibition or the so-called revenue-raising possibilities, ORANA AND FLNS | T0 BE DISLUSSED Pen Women Will Announce Prizes in Two Fields Here Tonight.

He reported in the absence of the treasurer, Robert V. Fleming. The Chest was congratulated upon its accomplishments by the guest of honor, Dr. Luther H. Reichelderfer, chairman of the Board of Commissioners. Vast waves of helplessness and dis- tress “threaten to engulf the resources of our social agencies,” Elwood Street, Chest director, reported. Time for Optimist. “I am not a rosy optimist,” Mr. Street added, “but I think it does take some sort of an optimist really to stay in social work at a time like this. I do think we have to have faith in Wash- | ington, in America and in humanity, and I think that faith will be justified. “I do think that sooner than many believe we shall recover from the pres- ent depression. It is a consoling thought that history generally repeats itself, and that just as ‘'we have had crises in the past, so also have we had recoveries from these crises. And even now some things indicate that a turn is coming, and that just as the depres- sion began before anybody realized it, f0 also the affairs of our Nation may be on the upgrade before all but a few realize that, too. “Whatever comes, we who are serving the people of Washington through the Community Chest and its member or- ganizations realize that we have a long, hard pull ahead of us. We know that even though economic condttions do improve, the need for help will continue for a long, long time for great numbers of people who were not in need before this depression.” Mr. Street urged that attention be given to the demands the Chest will face next year. Plans Must Be Laid. “For the year 1933 to meet the need which we know will exist,” he said, “we must begin laying plans in the very near future. We must so organize as to reach every person able to give any sum whatever in the District of Colum- bia. We must make up in number of subscribers and in the high average amount of their gifts the larger gifts which some will be unable to make, We have a need which is undeniable, and must use all the means in our power to | finance that need adequately.” | John Poole, Chest president, “pre- | sented” a miniature chest to Newbold | Noyes, a team chairman of the special gifts unit, for outstanding work, re- | gardless of the absence from the city of Mr. Noyes.
