A—16 %% FRENEN ATTAC DEFENSE HEGHAY Prince Georges Association Urges Improvement to Save Life and Property. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. BRENTWOOD, Md., September 12. —Another county-wide organization, | the Prince Georges County Volunteer | Firemen's Association, last night joined | in demands for immediate improve- ment of the Defense Highway. Meeting for the first time since the tragedy of August 20 when five per- sons lost their lives in a collision be- tween an automobile and bus, the association unanimously adopted a resolution calling on the State Roads | Commission and the Public Works Administration to arrange at once for the financing ot the project. Most Dangerous Road. ‘The association is composed of 22 companies in as many communities. Because their duties take them into all sections of the county, the firemen are familiar with the Defense High- way and its death traps, and regard it as the most dangerous State high-| way in Prince Georges. . They recalled last night that one| company narrowly averted a serious| accident on one of the highway’s| many dangerous curves a few years| &go. In that case a passenger car slipped from the road when the driver | was startled by the sudden appear-| ance of the fire engine around a blind | curve, Must Slow Down. | “Accustomed to driving under all| kinds of hazards” Noble F. Rushe, | former president of the association, | said, “the firemen know they must slow down when they reach the De- fense Highway because of its slippery surface, steep grades, narrow roadbed | and reverse curves. They could render | more efficient service if the road were made wider and straighter.” J. Theodore Crown, vice president of the association, sponsored the reso- | lution adopted last night. It noted | that the press and public has had its attention focused on the dangerous conditions which long have existed on | the Defense Highway through the acci- dent which took five lives. and termed | such conditions a reflection on the| State and a threat to the safety of its citizens. Electric Fans Gain Rapidly. The amazing extent to which elec- trical goods are now being used is strikingly shown in the fact that with- in a 10-year period electric fans had increased from a production of 425,- | 000 to 1,035,000; toasters from 476.- | 000 to 1,281,000; water heaters from | 36,000 to 100,000 and other electrical | goods increased in proportion. | ARMY ORDERS.

DURST. ray has “gone back to the farm” and political circles are wondering if, as in the past, his “retirement” means he will attempt another political comeback. Murray, former Governor of Okla- homa, ex-Congressman and aspirant for the Democratic presidential nomi- nation in 1932, has successfully fol- lowed up his previous farming ven- tures with returns to the arena of | public affairs. | Down on Yashau Creek, near Broken Bow, "Dirt Farmer” Murray has estab- chased recently. The tract is situ- ated near the southern end of the Quachita Government game and forest michi Mountains. Walks.to Town for Mail. Murray’s modest farm house sits on Bow, three miles, for his mail, and, too, he hitch-hikes to Idabel in cars of passers-by. He owns no automo- bile, but recently botight a small mail order spring wagon for use on the arm. Since he moved to the country from his old home at Tishomingo, a stream | of reporters, photographers and other | visitors have haunted the little farm. The lanky Oklahoman says he is get- ting tired of so many visitors as “I have work to do.” He is remodeling an old barn and the old hill country shack that has become his home. A few hogs, chickens, cows, horses and a mule browse about the farm and the smokehouse is full of garden and row | crop seed and implements. Garbed in slouchy farm clothes, his shoe laces dragging, his silver hair tousled, his hands bruised from hard | labor, “Alfalfa Bill” usually can be | found at work on anything to be done | on the farm. Follows Political Trends. Since Murray seldom seeks the | counsel of even his closest friends, no one seems to know anything about his future political plans. Through news- papers and magazines, he is closely following State, national and world trends. Political observers are divided on| their predictions about Murray's| plans. First one hears he may be ex- pected to run for the United States Senate. A more recent rumor is that he may run for the State Legislature | as a Representative or senatorial FOR TRAVELERS TO NEW YORK ) 1200 NEW ROOMS all with m—{:g‘_‘. er, radle, cirenlating OPPOSITE PENN STATION IN BUSINESS IN WASHINGTON OVER 60 YEARS An Advance Sale of Broadloom and Wilto at Very “Special”’ Prices THE Carpets in this Sale come in colors and patterns, sqitable for homes and offices and were bought prior to the advance in wholesale prices . . . and are therefore offered AT LESS THAN PREVAILING ® We handle only high-class goods (no ““Seconds”) —only those that measure up to the usual ‘“‘Hinkel” standard of quality.

Marland’s term as chief executive expires. Murray is credited witl having written most of the Oklahoma Con- stitution. He later was Speaker of the House, then Congressman dur-| ing President Wilson's administra- tion. More than a decade ago he led | an unsuccessful agrarian venture in Bo.dvia and was politically forgotten | for years. Then, in 1930, he made the | greatest political comebac. in OkKla- | homa history, being elected Governor | by an overwhelming majority. ‘ The present Murray enigma may be sensed by these recent statements: “I'm busy building my barn and fixing up my house. I've been bothered too much by reporters.” “Every time I've retired from poli- tics I've gone back to the farm.” | And in regard to national politics: | “These new policies of the Govern- | ¥ L Inside Facts' that mayw you ...

Officially, today is the deadline set by the Roosevelt administration for the submission of projects under the $4,000,000,000 program designed to stimulate recovery, and this resulted in an extra spurt of activity among interested agencies here. The Works Progress Administra- tion and the Public Works Adminis- tration were particularly busy sifting all the various applications and mak- ing them ready to place before the Works Allotment Board, which is slated to act on them by next Tuesday, under the President’s program. Officials construed the deadline as beng at midnight tonight and said that applications were pouring in by every mail from all parts of the Na- tion. This affects not only the 50 or 60 agencies of the Federal Gov- ernment, but also States, counties and municipalities. Authorities of the P. W. A. explained that Secretary Ickes had ordered State directors to get their applications to Washington early, and as a conse- quence an added burden of work is and poor of the rich.” Regarding State politics: “This year’s ad valorem taxes won't be so bad, because the people will still be paying on my taxes.

This last-minute rush will cause hundreds of Government workers to put in extra hours, the authorities declared. For some time, the P. W. A. ‘Washington staff has had extra shifts employed, sorting the applications for every conceivable type of construction dispatched here by the various State directors over the country. Officials close to Secretary Ickes explained that before submission to the Advisory Committee on Allot- ments, all applications must be sub- mitted to and approved by the W. A. For this reason the P. W, A. staff here has been overwhelmed, because of the necessity of immediate Atten- tion to these papers. In the organization of Harry L. Hopkins, W. P. A. administrator, there is a similar story of bee-hive activity as the authorities get the complex engineering details and fiscal arrange- ments for the various projects in shape for final approval. Officials said today they were un- able to make an estimate on the num- ber of applications they expect be- fore midnight or of the total amount involved. D. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1935. TALMADGE SNUBBED BY GOV. COCHRAN By the Associated Press. LINCOLN, Nebr., September 12.— R. L. Cochran, Nebraska's soldier- Governor, yesterday refused to appear on a Constitution day celebration pro- gram with Gov. Eugene D. Talmadge of Georgia at Seward, Nebr, Sep- tember 20. Gov. Cochran, pro-administration Democrat, and Gov. Talmadge, anti- administration Démocrat, were in- vited to the Seward celebration by P. | Stanley Matzke, American Legion post commander at Seward, and pfimary campaign manager last vear for Rob- ert G. Simmons, Republican nominee for the United States Senate. Gov. Cochran called the affair “a political meeting,” and said he favored observance of all constitutions, in- cluding State and national Legion constitutions, which prohibit political activity. He notified State and na- tional Legion commanders of his feel- ings, commenting that he helped, years ago, to draw the State Legion con- stitution. Matzke denied the political charge as “entirely unfounded.” He sald Gov. What's this! “CREAMED” RUBBING OL Inexpensive!
