But then the young woman he hopes to marry began to intimate that she thought a short name, like her own, was much better than a long one like Balenovich, so Balenovich decided it was time for action.

Gobel Builds “At Own Risk.” Meanwhile, D. Edward Clarke, at- torney for the Gobel firm, said yes terday he does not know when build- ing operations will be resumed on the controversial Benning site. Dis- trict officials served warning on the Gobel firm that it would have to build “at its own risk” and addi- tional legislation now is pending to enable the District to force pay- ment from the slaughter house for excessive sewage. Opponents of the ill-fated King- Norton bills had contended through= out the hearings that the only op- position to a slaughter house Benning came from the Government and from sources far removed, notably in the Northwest section.
