At right her captain, Charles of sleek-hulled racing craft and motor-driven pleasure boats—prepared to cast off for the open bay yesterday, despite the ill omen of Friday the 13th. The old ship, named Kinkora, has been unloading a cargo of North Caro= lina pine for a local lumber concern. The job was just completed yester- day. Capt. Charles Hopkins, skipper, stood impatiently on the dock and impatiently answered questions. “Humph,” he grunted when asked about sailing on the unluckiest of | | Pridays, “nothing to it. If that saflor would get on down here we'd be un- | der way and stop wasting time. Good | THREE-MASTED schooner— A water-front rarity in this day | Maryland Point by nightfall.

She will keep tramping about until the bay is frozen and then tie up for the coldest months, MAN HIT BY.TRAIN DIES Paul Maguire, 36, of Portage, Pa., died in Emergency Hospital early to- day of injuries suffered a week ago when struck by a Baltimore & Ohio train in the 4200 block of Canal road.

After » two-hour visit to Resettle- ment Administration’s suburben town at Greenbelt, Md., yesterday, Presi~ dent Roosevelt described it as an ex- periment which ought to be copled in sll the communities in the United States. The President said enthusiastically that the development exceeded any- thing he had dreamed of. Accompanied by Resettlement Ad- ministrator Tugwell, the President motored to the Greenbelt project, more commonly known as “Tugwell- town.” He spent nearly an hour mo- toring from one point to another in the reservation and frequently stopped to have objects of interest pointed out,and described to him. While in front of the demonstra= tion houses the President made a brief speech to a gathering of several hundred persons, mostly workmen on the project, in which he said: “I have seen the blueprints of this project and have been greatly inter- ested, but the actual sight itself ex- ceeds anything I dreamed of. This is & real achievement and I wish all the people could see it as it is a splendid thing, particularly for Bal- timore and Washington, Best of all, it will afford & splendid opportunity to the people to get out into the country, The homes being built here are to serve primarily the low-income groups of citizens. It is an experi- ment which ought to be copied by all the communities in the United States.” President Cheered. Just before reaching Greenbelt the President was cheered enthusiastically by & large group of school children lined up on both sides of the road at Riverdale. The children waved small American flags. The President had his car slowed down s0 as to return this greeting. He was cheered also by workmen as he entered the project ares and frequently during his tour of the site. Mr. Roosevelt found that while the project has progressed wonderfully well and gives every evidence of achieving success, it is not yet com- pleted. Considerable work must be done before it will be possible to start moving in families. The Greenbelt houses are built in units and are block. The President was shown the modern school building and commu- | nity hall as well as the fire depart- ment house and the commercial cen- “ ter, and finally visited the lake which | has been formed by damming a small stream running through the property. This lake is more than 25 acres in | area and will have a beach for the use of community and nearby resi- | dents and there will be facilities for picnics, boating and fishing. During his visit to the lake, the President was shown 75 large bass averaging more than two pounds each which were placed in the lake as the first of more than 20,000 fish with which the lake will be stocked by the | Bureau of Fisheries. Shown Completed House. The President was shown one of the completed houses in the dem- onstration unit by Reginald Wads- worth, architect. It was explained that the houses in this Greenbelt proj- | ect are intended for families having incomes of from $1,200 to $2,000 a THE LION TAMERS' ARE GOING INTO A Huddle or Cuddle, It’s All the Same to Jeff. mostly two-story brick and cinder | Prent Roosevelt, shown with Dr. Rexford Tu hat, left center) on a visit yesterday to Greenbelt, homes for low income groups. year and that it is estimated that rentals ranging from $20 to $45 a month per house, including heat, light and water, will provide for main- tenance of the community town, as well as the necessary reimbursement of the Government for interest and taxes. Although Greenbelt is unfinished, particularly in the matter of land- scaping and paved highways, con- siderable pains are being taken in the matter of planning and preparing for the landscaping to follow. This part of the project was explained to the President by Harold Heller, land- scape architect. He said that the nursery of the project contains 12,000 shrubs, trees and plants, which will later be transplanted. DIVORCE SUIT FILED Mrs. Francis M. Chatterbuck Al- leges Long Separation.

BALLOU EFFORTS SCORED BY GLASS Senator Says School Head’s Fight on Non-Resident Pupils Is Ridiculous. The effort of Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, to bar pu- pils from outside Washington whose parents are employed here, drew the fire yesterday of Senator Glass of Vir- ginia, who termed it “ridiculous.” Glass said the school superinendent had appeared before the Senate Ap- | propriations Committee, of which he | 16 years seeking repeal of the law | providing for admission of such chil- dren; that almost every year repeal had been approved by the House, and promptly thrown out in the Senate. $240,000 Ballou Estimate. ‘The Senator said about four years ago, when Dr. Ballou was seeking re- peal, he was asked what it cost an- nually to educate out-of-District chil- dren.
