ALLEY AUTHORITY GARAGE PLAN HIT Too Many Now Without Tenants in Area, Tax Group Charges. Charges that the Alley Dwelling Authority will erect rental garages in sections Where private garages already on the ground cannot be rented were met yesterday with the assertion that alley improvement will increase the demand for garage space and thusv benefit both public and private owners: | In a statement late yesterday, the Washington Taxpayers' Association declared that while the authority plans to erect a dozen garages for rent in Brown's court, between Sixth and Seventh, A and B streets south- east, “a survey of this particular alley this yeek reveals that about 17 garages @re now for rent.” On the other hand, John Hider, executive officer of the alley author- ity, pointed out that undesirable alley duwellings already have been cleared from the area and that additional im- provements contemplated will not only increase the demand for garages, but undoubtedly will enhance the desira- bility of real estate in the block. Best Use, Says Ihlder. “We are open to suggestions,” Ihl- der said yesterday. “I believe there are some vacant garages in the area, and it is true we have approved the | erection of perhaps 12 additional ga- | rages there. But we are convinced that the garages are the best possible‘ use we can make of this particular| alley area. | ‘I am sure that customers are less fikely to rent garages in alleys clut- tered with ramshackle dwellings. Im- provements in this alley cannot fail to ¥ncrease the demand for garages.” A reporter who visited the area in Question yesterday found at least a| dozen garages for rent, many of brick gonstruction, in good condition, with | rentals ranging from $3 to $5 per automobile a mcuth. These included a newly constructed row of four brick garages, only one of which was occu- pied. Realty Men Urge Delay. Real estate men in the vicinity, who have scores of vacant garages llstedl with them for rent, both in the block | In question and i neighboring blocks, | suggested that it would be better to let the land lie idle than to improve | it at the cost of taxpayers with ga- rages which also might not be rented. i Thider replied that the Alley Author-| ity had considered this possibility but that “idle land in a city causes ex- | pense and leads to abuse. “If the sites of demolished alley | dwellings were allowed to remain idle,” Thlder continued, “it is certain that| they would be used as dumps for re- | fuse, and it would be expensive to| police them continually. We wish to | put the land thus cleared to con- structive use so that the community end the District as a whole can be compensated. “We are building only a few garages n this particular area, and these will rent at prices consistent with those paid in the neighborhood.” “Drug on Market.” W The Taxpayers' Association sald in part: “It is a fact long known to those | experienced in real estate conditions in Washington and to any one with | ordinary powers of observation that private garages have been and are a drug on the market. It is doubtful 4f any lending agency, except the Government, would lend a dollar On them.” The statement said it is unlikely | garages will rent in the vicinity of small homes when garage owners near big apartment areas on Con- necticut avenue e delighted to get | $4 a month” for their garages. | Nevertheless, Ihlder insisted the | garages were the best use yet ad- | vanced for the area in question, while | at the same time affirming the Au- thority was open to constructive suggestions. — POLICEMAN BLAMES INJURIES ON DRIVERj Howard Appears Against Man He Says Pushed Him Off Mov- ing Auto. Despite injuries suffered Friday, when he is alleged to have been pushed from the running board of a taxicab traveling at 25 miles per hour, Po- | liceman L. A. Howard of the fourth precinct appeared in Police Court yes- terday to file charges of driving while | drunk and assaulting an officer @gainst Amma Alderson Lassiter, 47, 11 K street northeast. Lassiter pleaded not guilty anl demanded jury | trials in both cases. In a statement to Police Court | “ prosecutors, Howard said he saw Las- | siter “staggering” toward his cab in front of 620 Fourth street southwest. | The policeman ran to the cab, but it was in motion, and he jumped on“the running board. | After speeding to Fourth and F| streets southwest, Howard charges, | Lassiter made a sharp turn and then straightened up. The policeman held on, so Lassiter pushed him from the | cab, he said. Howard suffered in- juries to both knees, an X-ray reveal- ing the bone had been chipped on the right knee. A motorist finally overtook Lassister end held him until Howard could commandeer another car and make the arrest, the statement said. 120 Miners Reported Entombed. LONDON, October 26 (#).—The Ex- change Telegraph Agency correspon= dent in Tokio reported tonight that 120 miners were buried alive in an ex-| plosion in the Akaike mine, Fukuoka Prefecture. The dispatch said there | was little hope of recovery of the| bodies. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., Does Area Need New “Clearance” Garages? These garages with their “For Rent” signs were cited, among others, by the Washington Taxpayers’ As- sociation yesterday as reasons why the Alley Dwelling Authority should not erect a dozen new rental garages on space recently cleared in Brown's Court, between Sixth and Seventh, A and B streets southeast. ' \—Star Staff Photo. Part of Sam’s Art Show J. Edgar Hoover Receptionist to Paint. This painting, “In the Forest,” is one of 19 pictures which Sam Noisette, colored messenger for J. Edgar Hoover, will exhibit in a one-man art show this week at the Phyllis Rhode Island avenue. BY REX COLLIER. ILLIAM SAMUEL NOI-| SETTE, colored messenger | for J. Edgar Hoover, who | is proud of the fact that G-men, Senators and other visitors to Hoover's office call him “Sam,” is going to have a one-man art show. Few of the notables who have been | greeted by the quiet, polite “recep- | tionist” during his eight years in Hoover’s outer office have realized that | Sam is an artist of no small ability. | They have known him merely as a| faithful employe who attends to duty | and sees a lot but tells nothing. Se-| crets of the G-men are safe in Sam's custody. | Sam has ushered into Hoover's pres- ence high public officials, frantic rela- tives of kidnap victims, prominent citizens and lowly ones, agents to be ordered to the crime front and agents back from the fray with harrowing re- ports. | Stays Overtime, Too, | Sam never leaves his post in | Hoover's reception_room while “the | boss” is on duty. If “the boss” stays | overtime—which is often—Sam stays, | too. JVhen he goes 1o his litMe apart- | ment at 307 R street, however, he loses little time in getting to his | brushes and paints and canvases. For several years, in spare moments | after office hours and on Sundays and | holidays, Sam has been working cn his pictures. Born in Fayetteville, N.C.,34 years ago, and forced to work before Encouraged His Wheatley Y. W. C. A, Ninth and completing school by the death of his father, Sam had no opportunity to go to art school. He liked to draw, however, and he devoted his leisure, what little there was of it, to sketch- ing with pencil and charcoal and finally to painting. Sam shyly showed some of his work | to associates at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who were impressed by his talent. Hoover learned of Sam’s painting and encouraged him. Sam has presented good examples of his paint- ings—mostly landscapes—to Hoover, | Assistant Directors Harold Nathan and Clyde Tolson of the F. B. L, Court- | ney Ryley ‘Cooper the author, and others. 19 Paintings in Show. | Now Sam is going to hold a one- man public art exhibition. It will take place from October 28 to Novem- 2 at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. | Building, 901 Rhode Island avenue. Sam has had invitation cards printed, | and they are being sent to many of the friends he has met during his services as doorman. There will be 19 paintings in the show. An idea of their range may be gleaned from the following titles of some of them: “In the Canyon,” “ ! ‘The Old Lane,” e Hills of Old Virginia,” “A Country Road,” “An Autumn Day,” “At Dawn,” “Peggy, the Cow”; “Man of War,” “The Bos- ton Massacre,” “Elk at the Water's Edge,” “Stormy Weather” and “Rocky Mountain.” Austria Surprises With Dis play Of Modern Military Equipment By the Associated Press. VIENNA, October 26.—The new Austrian government surprised the | nation and Europe’s military observers today by lifting the veil from its up- to-date war machine in a parade which paralyzed traffic and disrupted Vienna's routine business. A ceremony which had been an- nounced as & review to restore the old imperial colors to the regiments of the new republic turned out to be a spec- tacular display of technical equipment. Agile little tanks no higher than a| man’s shoulder maneuvered over the Ringstrasse. New little cannon, mounted on rubber-tired wheels and | drawn by single horses, were given | their first public showing. Hundreds of trucks indicated the reliance the new army places on mo- bility. Overhead 36 planes, some of them three-motored bombers, dipped in salute over Heroes Square. ‘The flag ceremony, long expected and often postponed, united the new army with the traditions of the old Austrian and Hungarian military re- gimes, Many of the old colors had been borne to historic battles against the Italians, French and Turks. Some of the more-modern battle flags bore the initials of the late Emperor Franz Josef. The imperial double eagle re- appeared as an ornament of additional units of the new army. Monarchists were encouraged by the display, which was witnessed by old | Base Ball Pitchers Steal Home When Black Bear Says ‘Woof’ By the Associated Press. AUGUSTA, Me,, October 26.—Over the big woods telephone lines word came to the State house today that a couple of major league base ball pitchers had lost some of their en- thusiasm for hunting—because a black bear “woefed” unexpectedly. On a hunting trip with their wives in the Seeboomook region, Danny Mec- Fayden of the Bostog Braves and Don Brennan of the ti Reds left 1 from a spring 400 yards distant. Both their camp yesterday to get water were unarmed. As they stooped to fill water pails, the bear, growling menacingly, reared on its haunches before the startled hunters. The pails went skyward and Brennan and McFayden went camp- ward. Today, State house officials said, the hunters had probgbly recovered suffi- clently to seek 3 admirals and generals of the Haps- | burg archdukes and foreign diplomats. | Conspicuous among the diplomats | was Franz von Papen, German Min- ister to Austria, who appeared in the uniform of a colonel of the German general staff. - He had a long con- versation with Archduke Eugene, representative of the Hapsburg family. Before the parade regimental offi- cers took an oath to be obedient to the present Austrian government. e SALES TAX IS REPEALED BY JERSEY LEGISLATURE By the Associated Press. TRENTON, N. J., October 26.—New Jersey's sales tax was outlawed today and the public no longer had to- hand over their pennies with their pur- chases to finance relief. Enacted in June with Gov. Hoff- man’s indorsement, the measure be- came a political issue of the recent primary election and its short life ended last night at a special session of the Legislature. In less than four months the 2 per cent levy produced approximately $7,000,000. Gov. Hoffman bowed to popular de- mand, but, signing the repealer in red ink, he warned of “unbalanced budgets and maybe hungry people.” He promised to divert State funds to relief until January, when the 1936 Legislature was expected to devise a new program. $500 LOST TO THIEVES Jimmy thieves yesterday stole &ash and property valued at more than $500 from two offices on an upper floor of the Otis Building, 810 Eight- eenth street, and 1ansackec six other offices, from which they apparently took nothing, according to police. From the office of Ernest C. Reub- sam the burglars obtained surveying instruments valued at $495. In the office of A. A. Cederwald a total of $12 was taken a safe which had been forced ' | president, Branch 4; District of Co- |8:05 am—Drop forging gun parts, | 110:30 am—Catapulting plane from Navy Day (Continued From First Page.)
