T A—4 Exkw PRIVARIES HELD IN5 STATESTODAY Interest Is Centering on Talmadge Race in Geor- gia Tomorrow. B the Associated Press. Voters of five widely separated States balloted in primaries today, while national interest centered on the contest in Georgia tomorrow, where Gov. Eugene Talmadge, bitter critic of the New Deal, is trying to replace Richard B. Russell, jr., in the Benate of the United States. States holding primaries today in- cluded Washington, Arizona, Colorado and Vermont. In South Carolina a second run-off was being held be- tween two Greenville Democrats to choose a successor to the late John J. McSwain for the cotton mill dis- trict in Congress. ‘Wages Active Campaign. Gov. Talmadge, wearing his “jeems britches” and red suspenders, has campaigned up and down Georgia, charging Senator Russell, a former | Governor and son of the State’s chief Justice, with being “a rubber stamp” for the New Deal. The Senator said he was “proud” to have favored legis- lation “which told that gang in Wall Street where to get off.” In Washington seven Republicans and nine Democrats are contesting | 'Law Halts Fair’s Bear Hunt At Cage, Owner to Try Again the seat of the late Marion A. Zion- check. In the fifth district Mrs. Rosalie Dill, divorced wife of former Senator C. C. Dill, sought the Demo- cratic nomination for Congress. Gov. Clarence D. Martin is opposed for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination by John Stevenson, who proposes to have the unemployed “produce” by operating factories, and by State Treasurer Otto Case. Four Republicans, including former Gov. Roland H. Hartley, seek the Repub- lican nomination. In Colorado Gov. Ed C. Johnson and former Gov. William E. Sweet sought Democratic selection for Sen- ator Costigan’'s place in the Senate. Republican candidates for the Sen- ate and for Governor are unopposed. Fight for Greenway Seat. ‘The voluntarily vacated seat in Congress of Mrs. Isabella Greenway, friend and former bridesmaid of the Roosevelts, was being contested in Arizona by ‘several candidates, both Democratic and Republican, Town- sendite and anti-Townsendite. Gov. B. B. Moeur, one-time country doctor, was running against R. C. Stanford, former Superior Court judge, for the | Democratic gubernatorial choice. In Vermont the Republican guber- mnatorial selection was being sought by a banker, a horticulturist, a lawyer and a real estate dealer. Races (Continued From First Page.)

It has been streamlined—"‘cleaned.” Wire bracing and struts are gone. So is the landing gear in flight. Things that “dragged” in the wind have been eliminated. Planes used to whiz and whistle through the air. Now they slice. The races also brought a renewed | prediction that giant, 50-passenger planes in a few years will be flying across the continent throught the substratosphere, “above the weather,” in 9 hours.

With the nine-cylinder, single-row power unit already developed to the limit, this new double-bank engine has expanded power potentialities indefi- nitely, its engineers said. They see no technical reason why multiple cyl- inder combinations of three and four banks are not practicable.

BY W. H. SHIPPEN, Jr. Uncle Sam'’s air fighters have drop- ped no bombs on the “Home on the Range” fair, nor have any young lovers ridden forward to be married on horseback, but the next time the promoter stages a free-for-all hunt for an “old Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia she bear,” he's going to make it hum. Paul E. Rhinehart, director and pro- | motor, explained as much today when | that bear all right. visitors to the fair on his riding acad- emy and farm at Langley, Va., (“just three minutes from Chain Bridge”) kept asking: “How about that bear hunt?” satisfaction among those who attended yesterday’s hunt. Rhinehart had obtained the *she bear” from the proprietor of a filling station at Manassas. An advertise- ment billed the event as a “special feature for special prizes, a bear chase on horseback with Virginia and Mary- land hounds, after an old Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia she bear.” Score of Riders Out. More than a score of riders turned out for the chase, hiring horses from Rhinehart, for the most part. The bear was in a huge crate. The crate was loaded upon a truck and disap- peared in the general direction of Great Falls, while the riders circled the homemade race track. Then they raced after the truck and found the bear, still in his cage, upon the side of & woods road. No one seemed to know what to do next. Participants said that only one dog showed up, an elderly collie. The hunters were not armed except | for one small boy who carried what appeared to be a Civil War musket. “Why didn’t you turn the bear loose?" Rhinehart was asked today. “Well, boys,” he replied, “I'll tell you. The law was there with papers and the law said: “‘If you turn that bear out of that cage we'll put you in it”” So what was I to do. The hounds were coming. ‘There seemed to be some dis- | but the law stopped them on the road before they got here. | " “I've telegraphed the State game | warden at Richmond. I'm just wait- | iag now for a permit, though I doubt if there's a law against bear hunting in Virginia. “I think some of the folks here- abouts must have called the law when | they heard we were going to turn the | bear loose. But we would have caught We have some | fine hunters in these parts. | “I'm not telling where the bear is |now. It's & secret. But we'll turn | him loose yet, and it'll be some hunt!” Another feature advertised for the | week long fair, which opened Sun- | day, was billed as follows: “Among our special features we are | asking Uncle Sam, through our local | representatives, to put on a bomb- | dropping demonstration during ‘Home | on the Range’ fair week and furnish | the audience—a certain part of them | | 8t least—with gas masks that they may know how to protect themselves from an attack from the air.” Marriage on Horseback. The program offered to buy the license, pay the preacher and provide | $10 worth of midway entertainment for any couple who would volunteer to be married on horseback. | In addition, the management told | | those participating or attending the ! “Fairfax County Horse, Dog and Agri- culture Labor Day ir at Home on | the Range” that “by no act will free speech be abridged nor the free ex- | ercise of religion. Whosoever will may | come.” By this afternoon a dozen conces- sion booths had been set up alongside a small merry-go-round and ferris wheel. There was a shed for the dis- play of farm produce and cooking. Rhinehart kept circling the sparsely- inhabited fair grounds, encouraging the exhibitors: “I tell you this is going to be a big fair. By Thursday or Priday, at the latest, I tell you, it will be positively | huge!” Lorton (Continued From Pirst Page.) buildings, however, were erected in 1912, but were designed only for tem- porary use because, at that time, it was planned to replace them in five years.

Even now in Winter it is impossible | dequately to heat the buildings with | steam radiators blistering hot.

The matrons on watch do the suffering. The sanitary facilities are as obso- lete as the buildings. Similar conditions exist in a small, one-story frame building used pri- marily as a hospital. For lack of space in other buildings, two rooms in the hospital are used as cells for the imprisonment of the women who fail to follow the institution's dis- ciplinary code. Such prisoners frequently disturb the peace and quiet that is needed for the recovery of the sick. Their screams and howls ring through the thin partitions that separate them from the patients. The superintendent of the woman's | department also is forced to make her | home in one of the rooms in this hos- | pital building. She occuples a small | front room, which barely holds #ie furniture that is needed for a woman living alone. ‘There is some relief in sight far the women's department, however. ‘Two modern brick dormitories, similar in design to those on the men's reser- vation, are now under construction, | but are not expected to be completed | before Spring. But these two new buildings will not be adequate to | house all the women sentenced in the | District to prison terms. The District | Jail will have to continue to care for | the overflow. Penal officials claim that four new dormitories are vitally necessary to correct the congested conditions. Ap- propriations will be sought for two more dormitories. Like the conditions at the work house and reformatory, the women's department also is handicapped by an inadequate force of matrons. There are now only nine matrons, divided into three 8-hour shifts, to guard and supervise the 100 inmates, some of whom are serving 30-year sentences. In fact, the staff of matrons is so small the officials doubt whether it will be possible to occupy the two new dormitories when they are completed unless funds are provided meantime for & number of additional guards, One of the problems with which the officials have to deal in handling the womau prisoners is keeping them oc- cupied. There are no industrial activ- ities for the women which keep the men active at the reformatory and work house. There is a laundry where some of the inmates work, but special activities had to be created for the others. Many of them are assigned to the sewing room, where various |. types of garments, bed spreads, rag dolls and other articles are made for inmates of other District institutions. For recreation some of the women, with only a hammer, screw driver, saw and nails, have turned out a yaried assortment of miniature dog houses and miniature furniture for children.

BY BLAIR BOLLES. counsel, today expressed its discovery, after a 59-city survey, that milk consumption in the United States falls, for the most part, far below the 3 to, 5 quart per man per week standard established by nutrition experts. Despite the fact only 9 cities of the 59 outrank it, Washington’s average consumption of whole milk and evap- orated milk equivalent was set at 2.89 quarts. Only 8 cities average better than 3 quarts, and only 9 families of 28,968 provided their members with an average of 10 quarts a week or better, Washington is included among the South Atlantic States, which touches bottom among the geographical groups —1.93. Charleston, 8. C., with a large colored population, averaging only half a quart a person s week, is low- est, with 1.23 quarts. The total aver- age is 2.44 quarts, with Boise, Idaho, the highest, 3.31. Children Provided Data. “The data throughout suggest that milk is not occupying a place in the diet of the American family com- mensurate with its nutritional and | health-protecting qualities,” the report on the survey concludes. “The con- sumption of milk by families is disap- pointingly low.” The data were collected through school children, who were handed ques- tionnaires entitled “Milk and Your Daily Life” to be filled out anony- mously by their parents and returned to the investigators. In some in- stances, however, families without children were queried. The questionnaire called for infor- mation on income and milk and dairy | products consumption during some | week in April or May, 1934, A com- plementary questionnaire was sub- | mitted to school principals for infor- mation on the amount of milk sup- plied the pupils at the school. To obtain a representative picture, local authorities were asked to select | one school located in a poor or slum | district, a second in an industrial area | and a third in a middle-class or well- | | to-do section of the city, before the | | questionnaires were distributed. Av- | | erage weekly income of the 19,427 re- | | porting on this point was $24.18. | Income, the office of the consumer’s | counsel found after a year spent in tabulating and studying the answers to | its inquiries, has a direct bearing on consumption, and so has price, al- though “a widespread belief exists | | that the demand for milk characteris- tically is inelastic, and that, conse- | | quently, lowering the price would not result in a proportionate decrease in consumption.” Price Is Debated Here. The price of milk has recently been in the news in Washington in connec- | tion with the proposal to institute | Federal control of the Capital milk market under the agricultural adjusi- | ment act. The argument against an increase sought by producers is that the increase would be followed by les- sened consumption. The average income of the 273 | Washington families which reported | on income was $44.89 a week. The average size of the family was 4.97 | persons. A table illustrating average weekly income associated with specific limits of weekly per capita consump- tion of whole and evaporated milk for the District follows: $16.33 & week, .1 to .4 quarts a week. $19.10 a week, .5 to .9 quarts a week. $36.91 a week, 1 to 1.9 quarts a week. $46.16 & week, 2 to 2.9 quarts a week. $48.72 a week, 3 to 3.9 quarts a week. $52.56 a week, 4 to 4.9 quarts a week. $57.62 a week, 5 to 5.9 quarts a week. | $65 a week, 6 to 6.9 quarts a week. $42.50 a week, 7 to 7.9 quarts a week. $74 a week, 8 to 8.9 quarts a week. | The few 10-quart drinkers were | Hartford, Conn,, $30 a Week; Charles- | ton, W.

Prescribing & uniform accounting system for certain public utility hold- ing companies, the Securities and Exchange Commission sald yesterday the system included provisions “de- signed to eliminate the practice of writing up the value of investments in balance sheets.” Writing up of investments to broaden the base on which earnings are permitted was one of the prac- tices attributed by administration leaders to some holding companies during the bitter congressional battle over the 1935 holding company act. ‘The commission announced that the uniform system, which it said was prepared under the terms of that act, would be effective January 1 for registered holding companies which derive practically all their income from dividends and interest on investments in other companies. “It does not meet the requirements of holding companies which also li- rectly own and operate public utility | or other property,” the announcement added. The commission rules called for| a transcript of each accounting com- pany’'s surplus accounts from its in- ception to next January 1, and in-| structed accounting companies not to | destroy records “except as provided by rules and regulations.” Other provisions included require- to show what represents capital sur- plus, and what is earned surplus; and | a statement that stock dividends from | subsidiaries may not be taken into| Comment on Fine Costs Extra $10 In Speeding Case Victim Explains in Vain He Wasn’t Referring to Court.
