. Washington News SWIMIMING POOL SITES APPROVED BY PARKS BOARD Locations Will Be in Ana- costia and East Poto- mac Parks. MELLON ART GALLERY PLOT TO BE INSPECTED Building Will Be Placed on Con- stitution Avenue Between 12th and 14th Streets. Locations for two new swimming pools to be built with P. W. A. money were approved today by the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion. They will be placed at the field house in Anacostia Park and at the fleld house in East Potomac Park. Both pools will be for white bathers. Meanwhile, members of the com- mission planned this afternoon to visit the site of the proposed $10,000,000 art gallery to be given the city by Andrew Mellon. The building is to be located on Constitution avenue be- tween Twelfth and Fourteenth streets opposite the Labor Department-Inter- state Commerce Commission Building. Official action on the site is ex- pected to be taken tomorrow, accord- ing to Thomas S. Settle, commission secretary. The commission has no official plans for the gallery before it, but wants to acquaint itself with all developments. Museum Wings Studied. Settle made it clear the Mellon Art Gallery must be distinguished from the proposed National Art Gal- lery under the Smithsonian Institu- tion. Plans are being studied for con- struction of wings on the new Na- tional Museum, Tenth street and Constitution avenue, to house the Na- tional Art Gallery. ‘The old Public Buildings Commis- sion, the functions of which were taken over, under President Roose- velt's reorganization of the Govern- ment, by the National Park Service, favored the Fourteenth street and Constitution avenue site for the Mellon art gallery, Settle disclosed today. Sanction of the site by the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion is forecast by observers. In connection with the swimming pools, the sentiment of the commis- sion was that a new pool for colored bathers should be constructed without delay as part of the Works Progress Administration program here, said Thomas E. Settle. Miss Sibyl Baker, director of Dis- trict playgrounds, proposed construc- tion of a number of swimming pools under the Works Progress Administra- tion. Under the law, Settle explained, his commission must give final ap- proval on these and further study will be necessary. Under President Roosevelt's orders, bids must be out by next Tuesday for all Public Works Administration pro- Jects, and for this reason the commis- sion felt the need for immediate ac- tion. On the Works Progress Admin- istration ‘program, however, there is no deadline. Final approval for the new Public Works Administration swimming pools in Anacostia Park and East Potomac Park indicates these will be in opera- tion by next Summer, to replace the municipal swimming pools on the | Washington Monument Grounds, re- | cently eliminated by the flood con- | trol program. The park authorities propose to construct these new pools by private contract and will call for bids in the next few days. Inspection Trip Today. The afternoon session was to be de- voted to a fleld inspection trip, - cluding the site of the Bureau of En- graving and Printing annex, particu- larly with reference to the heigh. of the new structure; the 2d Division Memoria! project; the projected sites for new swimming pools; the low-cost housing projects, one under sponsor- ship of Government employes and tne other for colored persons north of Benning road near Anacostia Park; ‘Theodore Roosevelt Island and the work of Civilian Conservation Corps at Fort Hunt, Va. Co-odination of recreation develop- ment by the National Capital Parks, the Playground Department of the District government and the Board of Education was the subject of a part of this morning's deliberation by the commission. Consideration was given o the best locations in which to spend Public Works Administration and ‘Works Progress Administration funds. Participating in this discussion were C. Marshall Finnan, superintendent of the National Capital Parks; Lewis R. Barrett, newly appointed co-ordi- nator of recreation; John Nolen, jr., the commission’s director of plan- ning, and T. C. Jeffers, the commis- sion’s landscape architect.

W.LAWSTUDENT HURT IN CAR CRASH |Recovering From Brain Con- cussion—DOther Traffic Victims Reported. Knocked unconscious last night | from the force of impact in a col- lison between two automobiles at Third and East Capitol streets, Harry Nail, jr., 23, a George Washington University law student, living at the Alban Towers, was recovering today in Casualty Hospital from brain con- cussion. He also is suffering from painful cuts on the elbow. Another victim was Nathaniel Ross, | 30, colored, 3000 block of Georgia avenue, who suffered a half-inch cut, dangerously near his eyeball, when struck early today by a taxicab at Fourth street and Maryland avenue southwest. His head was bloody from scalp cuts and both legs skinned when he was taken to Casualty Hospital. Two stitches were required to close the gash just above his right eye. The ankle bone of William Lewis, 75, colored, 500 block of Second street, was snapped yesterday when hit by an automobile at Fourth and H streics. He was treated at Sibley Hos- pital. Automobiles Collide. In the East Capitol street accident, | Nail was driving west on that thor- | oughfare and the operator of the other | automobile, Clarence R. Selba, 31, of No. 9 Sixth street norcheast, was driv- ing south on Third street. Nine others were :njured in a total of 24 accidents in ihe 24-hour period, ending at 8 am. today. Their in- juries consisted principally of bruises, however, and all except a colored girl returned to their homes after receiv- ing first aid. Occupants of an auto- | mobile and a truck driver escaped in- | jury today in a collision at Seventh | and E streets northeast. A lamp post was knocked over at the intersection by the automobile, police said. At an inquest vesterday, a coroner’s jury declared accidental the death Wednesday of Yvonne Gallagher, 5, of 2022 Higdon road northeast, who was crushed beneath the wheel of a large truck at Thirtieth street and | Bladensburg road northeast. The verdict exonerated Henry Al- len Davis, 23, of Lexington, N. C., driver of the truck. Jury Asks Traffic Light. In giving its verdict the jury ad- dressed a letter to the District Com- missioners recommending that traffic lights be placed at the intersection to safeguard pedestrians crossing there. The letter read: “We as members of the coroner’s jury sitting in the death of Yvonne V. Gallagher, female, late of 2022 Higdon road northeast, wish to recom- mend that traffic lights be installed at the intersection of Thirtieth street and Bladensburg road northeast in addition to the police officer sta- tioned there during school periods in order that the officer may give his undivided attention to school children who are required to use this inter- section. We further recognize while Bladensburg road is only 60 feet wide, it is necessary for pedestrians to traverse 93 feet in crossing at this point. The letter was signed by the six jurors. Policeman Charles J. Weber of No. 12 precinct, who was directing traffic at the intersection when the child was killed, wept at the inquest as he began to relate details of the acci- dent. He then proceeded with his testimony after being calmed by Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald. BLIND MAN IS ROBBED Two Take $10 From Bedridden, Elderly Resident. An elderly man, biind and bed- ridden, was robbed of $10 last night by two men who entered his room at 1303 Ninth street and threat to “blow my brains out if I made outery.” The victim, George Flood, told the pair took the money vest pocket while he lay helpless, afraid to make an out because of their threat.

CHEVY CHASE BUS TERMINAL PLANS BITTERLY FOUGHT Citizens Opposing Structure at Circle Map Le‘gal Battle. FEARS ARE EXPRESSED FOR PROPERTY VALUES Transit Company Contends Build- ing on Maryland Side Would Furnish Needed Shelter. Aroused by reports that the Capital Transit Co. proposes to erect a tempo- rary terminal on the Maryland side of Chevy Chase Circle at Connecticut avenue, citizens of that area today voiced vigorous opposition to such a move. They declared they would fight such a proposal with every legal and other resource at their com- mand. Miss Beatrice A. Clephane, 6000 Connecticut avenue, president of the Citizens’ Committee of Section 2 of Chevy Chase, Md., the legally author- ized governing body of that area, said the transit firm already has asked permission to erect a temporary struc- ture in the triangle in Connecticut avenue, north of Chevy Chase Circle. At the October meeting of the com- mittee the request was turned down unanimously, she said. Any further move in this direction will be op- posed, she added. The Citizens' Committee of Section 2, Chevy Chase, Md., was created by special act of the Maryland Legis- lature. Miss Clephane says the body takes the position it is necessary for the Capital Transit Co. to secure the committee’s permission before erect- ing any such structure within its jurisdiction. Urges Lake Location. The bus terminal for the Connec- ticut avenue line properly belongs at Chevy Chase Lake, Miss Clephane sald. This location would be a great convenience to residents in that sec- tion, for now only a few busses run out Connecticut avenue north of Chevy Chase Circle. For most people it is now necessary to change at Chevy Chase Circle if they desire to travel farther north, she declared. The proposed chelter would serve bus drivers eating their lunches and the general public waiting for a change of busses at that point, Miss Clephane has been informed, and there has even been a suggestion that a conces- sion stand, selling refreshments, would be incorporated in the shelter. ‘The Capital Transit Co. feels that with Winter coming on some sort of shelter should be furnished the public at Chevy Chase Circle, Miss Clephane has been told. Arthur W. Defenderfer, secretary of the Citizens' Committee of Section 2, said: “If they erect such a structure they will do it over our dead bodies. As yet the Capital Transit Co. has not replied to the letter notifying it of the official action of the committee in turning down its request.” Defenderfer, who lives at 7 East Kirk street, Chevy Chase, Md., said that he is very much opposed, per- sonally, to the company’s plan, fore- seeing that it is “only the entering wedge into other things to follow.” The present bus service is “entirely | usatisfactory” now to residents living north of the circle, he added. The transit company should have been able to break up its terminal points instead of grouping the busses at Chevy Chase Circle, he declared. He said he has heard complaints the bus service north of Chevy Chase Circle is “very in- ferior” to the former street car service. He said a mass meeting protest may be held to demand improvement. Diffenderfer advocated putting the bus terminal at Chevy Chase Lake, where the old street car barn used to be. Sydney R. Prince, general counsel of the Southern Railway, of No. 5 Chevy Chase circle, Chevy Chase, Md., told The Star today that he would most certainly oppose any move to erect a structure in his neighborhood to serve as & walting station or bus terminal. Fears Effect on Values. As matters now stand, a “very dan- gerous situation exists for traffic” at Chevy Chase Circle, Prince said, and a very fine residential section has been “destroyed.” All property in that section has been zoned and is of high grade residential character, but the erection of a temporary structure would depress values, he believes. John H. Hanna, president of the transit company, has promised H. P. Caemmerer, executive secretary of the Fine Arts Commission, that he will send his architect with sketches for any structures so they may be passed upon by the commission. The transit company has secured permission from the Maryland Nation- al Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion and the Board of County Com- misisoners of Montgomery County, Md., the latter sitting as a District council, on Monday night, to erect a bus terminal at the junction of Wis- consin and Western avenues. The transit firm has promised “a very at- tractive shelter,” Hagner said. The Wisconsin avenue terminal will be located on the norlheast corner, east Fredericksburg’s Dog Mart Draws Big Crowd §: 3 e ! g: At top, left (No. 1): Walter Boxley is assisting the auctioneer at Fredericksburg’s dog mart yesterday by holding up a pet to be sold and ringing a 100-year-old bell.

SHIPPEN, JR,, Staff Correspondent of The Star. FREDERICKSBURG, Va., October 18.—“He woan suck eggs, either. . . . “And furthermore he woan kill chickens. “Mister, there's a hound dawg that woan even look at a sheep!” The salesman at yesterday's "dogl mart” here was only an amateur, but | he had a persuasive tongue. Squatting | on his heels, he opened his pocket | knife and cast about among the Autumn leaves for something to whittle. “Are you a night hunter, mister? Yeah. Well, that's what I took you to be. Old Buck there is a night hunter, too. He woan even wind a rabbit after sundown You say you're a ‘coon hunter! Well, mister, you're lookin’ at the finest ’coon dawg that ever come out of Fauquier County.” Hound Bays in Reply. ‘While the salesman talked, old Buck lifted up his grizzled head and vented a throaty bellow. There were dogs all about him, hundreds of them, of every size and description, and the general air of excitement seemed to annoy the old-timer. “Listen to that mouth on him,” the salesman went on. “Talk to ‘em, Buck, old boy!" Buck bayed, again and again, and his deep bass mingled with the high, thin yapping of poodles and terriers, the whining of puppies and the shouts of excited children racing from exhibit | to exhibit under the trees. The mart was a free show open to all comers. It marked the revival of a legendary custom dating back to 1698. At that time, according to historians, the whites and the Indians laid aside their animosities long enough to meet on neutral ground and trade dogs. ‘Was Long Abandoned. ‘The mart was abandoned in 1776 because the whites either were afraid to trust the Indians or the Indians were afraid to trust the whites. The dog mart was started again in 1927 as an annual event which has grown in popularity each Fall. Yesterday approximately 300 dogs in half a hundred classes were entered to show, trade or sell. Aristocratic pointers and setters shared attention with the leanest hounds which ever chased rabbits into the pots of col- ored farm tenants. ‘The dog mart last year drew an attendance of 2,500, and that record was bettered yesterday. The entire city and surrounding communities turned out in holiday mood. Trad- ing and awarding of ribbons began in the morning and was followed in the afternoon by a dog auction. This did not affect old Buck, how- ever, whose owner said in no uncertain terms that no canine flesh of his would ever go under the auctioneer’s hammer. Only Good Man Could Buy. “If that hound-dawg ain’t worth $15, he ain’t worth nothin’. I want & good man and a coon hunter to have him. I wouldn't part with that dawg, except my old woman's too poorly to look after him, and I'm afraid an automobile will hit him now that the highway runs by my place. But I don’t want to part with by an assistant high above the crowd. The dogs whined and shivered with fright, but they found good homes if the enthusiasm of the bidders could be taken as an indication. Old Buck Goes Home. ‘The mart was scheduled this year as on of the attractions of the Autumn travelogue of Virginia planned by the State Chamber of Commerce. After it was all over Old Buck went home with his master, who let him climb into the front seat of a dilapi- dated automobile and got in himself. As he started the car, Old Buck's mas- ter said: “I didn’t want to sell him no how.” NEW CIVIL SERVICE POSITIONS OPENED Examinations to Fill Vacancies in Agriculture and Labor Departments.

In denying a motion to dismiss the suit brought by Hugo Herfurth, jr., National Press Club, for a return of approximately $1,000,000 to the bank, Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat of Dis- trict Supreme Court, did not rule on whether the actica was a proper one, it was disclosed, but merely reserved final decision pending United States Supreme Court action in another case.

Summer school deans and directors representing 40 colleges opened a two- | day convention at the Shoreham Hotel | today with an address by Dr. Cloyd | Heck Marvin, president of George Washington University. Dr. Marvin assured the delegates | their posts are no less important than | that of the college president and that | a competent Summer school dean or director is one of the most valuable assets any college or university can | have. Following Dr. Marvin's address, the educators discussed in executive ses- sion ways and means of improving registration at Summer schools and | other professional problems. Luncheon was held for the dele- gates and their wives after the morn- ing session.

NEUTRALITY TOPIC AT SESSION Council for Prevention of War Discusses Recom- mendations. Discussions over whether to favor a policy of mandatory neutrality for the United States or approve a policy which would have this country help the League of Nations in suppressing war between other nations, marked a closed session today of the National Council for the Prevention of War, meeting at the Lee House. The discussions were opened on submission of & report on ‘“embargo legislation” for the exercise of so- called sanctions, prepared by a special committee, headed by Richard Wood, | executive secretary of the American Friends Service Committee. A vote on the report may be held at the final | session this afternoon. Recommendations Made. ‘The committee’s report makes rec- ommendations for the enactment of legislation providing the following, be- fore present law expires: 1. “Embargo, as to the parties to an armed conflict, of arms and muni- tions of war, of loans and credits and of such secondary munitions as min- erals, oil and cotton; also provision for embargo on imports from such bel- ligerents. 2. “Provision that, during periods of armed conflict, shipments of goods not otherwise prohibited shall be made at the shipper’s risk, and that the United States citizens traveling abroad shall do so at their own risk.” ‘The recommendations are preceded by the statement that the committee is “convinced that the present neu- trality legislation, by permitting loans to belligerents and trade in such ma- terials as minerals, oil and cotton and by permitting the transit of supplies to belligerents through neutral coun- tries does not adequately safeguard the United States against the perils of involvement in war or in contro- versy with nations engaged in impos- ing sanctions under the League cove- nant.” Defense Plan Up. Nevin Sayre, director of Fellowship and Reconciliation for Neutrality, led the discussion against adoption of the committee’s report, it was said by a council spokesman. Another question to be considered at the afternoon session is whether to support a proposal for the reorganiza- tion of the Army and Navy into one department of defense to conform with the principles of the Paris pact. The question was discussed before the council yesterday by former Repre- sentative Jeannette Rankin of Mon- tana. The council sessionsewill close late today following the election of several board members. MALTA EXPORTS BANNED VALLETTA, Malta, October 18 (#). —Exportation of scrap metal from Malta and neighboring islands for any forelgn destination was prohibited officially today. . In Chicago yesterday, Stude, reply- ing to a statement by Wallace that the boost was uncalled for, told the Associated Press there had been no general increase, but that it would be justified. “The facts are,” he said, “that if the price of bread was in keeping with the increasing cost produced by New Deal efforts, including the processing tax, it would be 1 cent higher. “Usual Barrage” Set Up. “The consumer, growing more and more resentful of the increase in cost of living, is learning what the cause is and where to lodge the protest, and in an effort to keep further con- sumer attacks off of his doorstep, the Secretary has set up the usual bar- rage about ‘the price of bread.’ “The fact is that bakers have leaned over backwards to help the New Deal and now the backs of many of them are breaking and we see by the papers that as a matter of self-preservation they have adjusted prices in some | markets which were obviously out of ! line.” Wallace countered to this with the statement that there had been no change in the wheat processing tax for more than two years. He said the A. A. A. and the bakers had clashed previously concerning proe cessing taxes and bread prices, adding: “The processing tax on wheat today is 30 cents a bushel, about Iz cent & loaf. or the same as it has been for the last two years and three months. Rise Previously Protested. “Two years ago, in July, 1933, when the processing tax first went into effect, a good many bakers attempted to increase the price of bread several cents a loaf. We protested in a public letter to one of the bakers that their contemplated increases were out of line with their increased costs. “The actual increase in July over June, 1933, finally averaged six-tenths of a cent for the country as a whole.” This increase was the one Wallace said the bakers had *“excused” on | grounds of the processing tax. | The inquiry on the price advance is being directed by Donald Montgomery, consumers’ counsel of the A. A. A, who said he expected to be able to make a statement on the matter to- mMOrrow. This survey is taking up prices in the 51 principal cities used by the | Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics in determining living costs. —t {VERDICT IS ASKED . IN ANESTHETIC SUIT j Attorney for Dr. Edmund Horgan Says Mrs. Ethel Palmer Has Proved No Negligence. Justice Peyton Gordon of District Supreme Court was considering today a motion for a directed verdict in favor of Dr. Edmund Horgan, 1726 I street, who is being sued by Mrs. Ethel Palmer, 3711 Baker street, Mount Rainier, Md., for $100,000 dam- ages ‘as a result of administration of a spinal anesthetic in August, 1931. Mrs. Palmer was brought into court on a rolling bed when trial of the case began yesterday. She testified she cannot walk and attributed her condition to the anesthetic edmin- istered by Dr. Horgan preparatory to an operation. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's evidence today, Charles S. Baker, at- torney for Dr. Horgan, asked for a directed verdict, arguing there had been no proof of negligence and that no connection had been shown be- tween Mrs. Palmer’s condition and the spinal injection.
