Woman, 37, Plunges To Her Death From Tth-Floor Apariment Mrs. Martin Gordon’s Body Discovered by A Resident; Had Been Il Mrs. Martin C. Gordon, 37, died this morning in a plunge from a window in the seventh floor of the Breadmoor Apartments at 3601 Con- necticut avenue N.W. Her body landed on the roof of a garage in the basement of the build- ing, almost directly below the bath- room window of her apartment, out of which she had plunged. Mrs. Gordon, whose husband is a real estate broker here, had been in poor health for some time and had been under the care of a nurse. She was alone in the apartment this morning with the nurse, Miss Marie Maloney, of 1411 Oak street N.W. Mrs. Gordon went into the bath- room shortly after 10 o’clock, and Miss Maloney was in another room of the apartment. About 10:15 a resident of the apartment saw the body on the ga- rage roof and notified the switch- board. About the same time Miss Maloney discovered that Mrs. Gor- don had disappeared from the apartment. Police found the bath- room window open. Members of the family said they believed Mrs. Gordon had fallen while opening the window. ‘While police were in the apart- ment questioning members of the family a short time after the trag- edy had been discovered, a de- livery boy brought a box of candy addressed to Mrs. Gordop—sent to her earlier in the moming: by her husband. She was pronounced dead on the scene by Dr. Elizabeth Chickering, the house physician. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, with their son, Harold, 18, a student at George- town University, had lived at the apartment for several years.

CHICAGO, March 16.—The wheat market today tried to shake off the spell of bearishness enveloping peace talk which has kept European cables buzzing since the end of the Russo- Finnish war, After an early decline of about a cent, which carried May wheat down to $1.00%, lowest since March 5, the market rallied sharply to % cent above previous levéls and then steadied at about even with Friday’s finish, Most of the support came from resting orders, but there was some buying inspired by unfavorable winter wheat crop reports. Short covering also was in evidence. Tem- peratures rose in the Southwest, with & high of 75 recorded in some Kan- sas localities, but there was no more precipitation and little was pre- dicted for the coming week. The long-range forecast suggested colder weather was a possibility for Monday and again at the end of the week, with the mean temperature about 30 in southern portions of the Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma ter- ritory. Some snow was predicted for the upper Mississippi Valley. was associated with un- certainty as to disposition of loan, wheat, with notes maturing in about six weeks. Consuming interests, including millers and bakers, were said to be keeping out of the mar- ket as much as possible because of this. Corn, oats and rye also declined but then steadied. Shipments of Argentine corn this week were esti- mated at only 1,039,000 bushels, a sharp decline from the previous week, but offerings from South Africa have been more plentiful recently following good rains. U. 8. No. 2 yellow corn was offered for March shipment from Baltimore to Great Britain at around 64 cents, 1. 0. b., compared with 32% for new Argentine for May-June shipment. However, U. S. exporters have ma- terial advantage in freight rates because of the shorter haul. Lard sagged sharply due to recent weakness of hogs and expanding storage stocks, which are the larg- est on record. ‘ . 2 Shqwn reading “A Winter's w s @ is Miss Martha-Wills Schoenfeld, Washington University.

Meefing on Soil Erosion Held at College Park By the Associated Press. Efforts to prevent and control soil erosion on Maryland farmlands were | described at a meeting at the Uni- versity of Maryland of county agents, soil - conservation specialists and boards of directors from five State. districts. Dr. H. C. Byrd, president of the University of Maryland, told the ap- proximately 60 delegates at the meeting that mere than one-fifth of the farmland in the State, compris- ing about 1,700,000 acres, had been included in organized soil conserva- tion districts. The number of farms included is approximately 9,000, Dr. Byrd said. Dr. T. B. Symons, dean of the uni- versity’s college of agriculture and chairman of the meeting, said it was the first time in Maryland history that authorized representatives of such a great number of farmers had attempted through organization to combat soil erosion. The necessity for drainage in each of the State's counties as a part of the program was pointed out by Ray W. Carpenter, agricultural engineer for the university. ‘The directors were urged by Dr. F.

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 16—A compromise in the controversy over inspection of dairy boilers used for sterilization purposes appeared in prospect as a result of a conference Thursday in Baltimore with mem- bers of the Maryland Board of { Boiler Rules. Installation of unadjustable safety valves set to release at 15 pounds pressure will exempt dairy boilers from inspection required under an act passed at the last session of the Legislature, it was indicated to a group from Montgomery County in- cluding O. W. Anderson, county agricultural agent; James D. King,{ president of the Farm Bureau; Cecil Cole, of the Maryland-Virginta Milk Producers’ Association, and Donald Bowie, jr., attorney. The committee was advised that the board would give consideration to a reclassification of dairy boilers who decided not to install the unad- justable valves, which would have the effect of reducing the inspection fee from $12 to $3.50. The valve installation costs about $3. About 300 dairymen.in the county are affected.

Gen. Maurice Gustav Gamelin, commander of the Allied armies in France, was mentioned frequently as a possible choice for Defense Minister, Gen.

RICHMOND, Va., March 16— Gov. Price last night said “I still stand on my original statement, figures and all,” when asked for comment on new charges by Dele- gate E. Blackburn Moore of Berry= ville that he had increased by ex- ecutive order the State pay roll approximately $2,000,000. “Col. Hodges has answered Mr. Moore very fully and effectively,” the Governor added. In a statement from Winchester last night, Delegate Moore said he had noted that an aide of Gov. Price had denied that the Governor, in a statement Monday, had des- cribed as “false,” figures on salaries and new positions supplied by de- partment heads to the House of Delegates. Mr. Moore said that “if the figures were not false they must be correct and since they are correct, Gov. Price, by executive order, in- In his statement last Monday, Gov. Price denied that he had in- creased salaries $2,000,000 in 1939. The reply of Controller Leroy Hodges mentioned by Gov. Price was in the form of a letter last Wednesday sent by Mr. Hodges to Mr. Moore, who had dispatched a telegram to the controller asking if information furnished the House were “false.” Col. Hodges said .in his letter that “The limitations of the figures furnished by the controller’s office pursuant to House resolution No. 6 were explained to you the morning you visited this office to discuss the Pprovisions of your resolution. I was therefore very much surprised at the interpretation you placed on them in your speeches before the House of Delegates. 4 “The principal factor which you apparently have overlooked, and which created most of the mis- understanding that has arisen re- garding State salaries, is that my reply to House resolution No. 6 dealt with persons and not with positions. For this reason we did not add the figures listed, and the tabulation of our report which was prepared by the auditor of public accounts at the request of the clerk of the House of Delegates is absolutely m ing- less and grossly misleading. s Massing of Allied Army In East Hit by Reds By the Associated Press.

Memorial Boulevard Rezoning Case Set By Federal Court Alexandria Officials Notified of Hearing In Richmond Friday By a Btaff Correspondent of The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 16— City officials have been notified a hearing on the Federal suit to pre- vent the Alexandria City Council from rezoning the Potomac River Clay Works’ property on Mount Vernon boulevard has been set for Friday in the United States Court at Richmond. ‘The rezoning is being contested on the claim that any reclassifica- tion of property along the boulevard would be in violation of an sgree- ment entered into between the City of Alexandria and the National Cap- ital Park and Planning Commis- sion when construction of the high- way was begun in 1929. Members of the council yoted two weeks ago to rezone the’ property, but an ordinance must e drafted and submitted for approval at a later meeting before the action be- comes effective. Shortly after the council ap- proved the rezoning petition, the park body obtained a temporary re- straining order preventing the coun- cil from proceeding with formal re- zoning of the property before a ! hearing. The order was issued by Judge Robert N. Pollard of :the: United States Court for the Easterni District of, Virginia, who will condugt Fri: ady’s ring'in Richmon&.' Property involved in the dispute already is being used by the clay works for industrial purposes, as the plant was located on ‘the site before the highway was built and has remained there under & “non- conforming” classification. However, under the zoning law the plant could not be rebuilt in the event it is destroyed by fire, storm or any other “act of God” and it is to protect the plant in such an event that the industrial zoning classification of the site is sought by the owners.
