Another accident in Virginia sent three persons to Emergency Hos- pital. The collision occurred on South Glebe road between Sixth and Seventh streets in Arlington County. Milton Devers, 31, of 4203 Six- teenth street N.W.; Raymond Clay, colored, 26, of 500 Randolph street, Arlington, and Beatrice Johnson, colored, 23, of 907 Twenty-second street N.W., are the injured.

Philip Finelli and John Cam- panaro of 401 G street N.E., who suffered minor injuries in an auto- mobile accident, escaped further hurts when a machine in which they were being rushed to a hos- pital with five other motorists caught fire near Allentown, Pa. No one was injured in the fire. Transferred to another car, the seven persons were taken to a hos- pital where six were discharged after first-aid treatment.

Navy Calls for Bids , On Three Submarines ‘The Navy Department today called for bids on three submarines of 1500 tons standard displacement. Bids will be received on individual submarines or for the group, and will be opened June 5. Bids also were called for May 15 on the machinery for these sub- marines and three others. The 1941 building program calls for six sub- marines to be constructed. Money for the construction work has been authorized but not appropriated by Congress. However, funds are in- cluded in the Navy bill now before Congress and is expected to be ngton News 6,000 See Air Show | Starring Burneft, Daredevil Stunter Flies 11-Year-Old Plane In Langley Day Meet At Hybla Valley Marked by the daredevil aero- batics of Vincent “Squeek” Burnett, | flying an 1ll-year-old biplane that looked its age but didn't act it, the eighth annual Langley Day air meet, held yesterday at Alexan- dria Airport, Hybla Valley, Va., kept more than 6,000 spectators gaping skyward throughout a four-hour aerial program staged under almost ideal weather conditions. Sponsored by the Washington Air Derby Association, the event was termed by contestants and specta- tors “the best” program” of the | eight-year series. A brisk wind which at times gusted to 16 miles per hour was the only drawback. The breeze, however, failed to | hamper Mr. Burnett's routine and the veteran stunt pilot, an instruc- tor in the Civil Aeronautics Au- ‘thnmy training class at the Uni- | versity of Maryland, had the crowd |in the palm of his hand after a | series of dives, loops within 100 feet | of the ground, slow, inverted and | segmental rolls and other skillful | maneuvers. “Square Loop” Is Climax. One of these—the “square loop”— was the climax of Pilot Burnett's demonstration. He is the only fiyer in the country who performs the feat, C. A. A. officials witnessing the maneuver declared. In the past vear Mr. Burnett captured three trephies in competition with the Nation's best aerobatic flyers—the President'’s Trophy at Havana, Cuba, in 1939; the Freddie Lund Aerobatic Trophy at the Miami air | races that same year and the City | Hill Trophy at Havana this season. | Seventeen pilots, representing five States, including three women, par- ticipated in two closed course events on the racing program, both flown over a two-lap, 10-mile course. The winner of the first race—for air- planes with a rating of 80 horse- power or less—was Lt. Robert San- ders, Navy Reserve pilot, of 7822 Sixteenth street N.-W., flying an all- metal low-wing Ercoupe. Perry Boswell, 23, of Hyattsville, Md., finished second and Miss Helen Frigo of Arlington, Va., was third. Miss Frigo, only woman to win a trophy in the day’s competition, flew a blue Cub coupe. Mr. Bos- well's ship' was an- all-metal Lus- comb. A new champion was crowned in! the second race, for planes of 100 horsepower or more. He is George Arents, 24, of Rye, N.. Y., who took top honors with a 450-horsepower PBeechcraft cabin plane, fastest ship ron the program. He won with ease over Pilot G. W. Gully of Farrell, Pa, flying a 145-horsepower Mono- coupe. The Arents plane was the only entry in the meet housing an engine of more than 200 horsepower and the winner raced through pre- liminary heats almost without op- position. Trophies Awarded. Last year’s winner—Russell Hay of Pittsburgh, Pa.—was eliminated in a trial dash by Mr. Gully. Pilot Hay, in a 165-horsepower Cessna cabin plane, was last in the three- plane race. Trophies were awarded all contestants who placed in both races. The program also included two parachute jumps made by Ray Morders, 23, of the Washington Par- achute Club, from a height of 2,000 feet. After a straight jump on his first descent the white-clad youth changed chutes, climbed aboard his plane and leaped again in a de- layed jump, demonstrating a new type “human umbrella.” Demonstration airplanes were ex- hibited in flight and on the ground by the country’s principal manufac- turers of planes of the private owner and sports types. Amateur photog- raphers were numerous and staged a field day walking about snapping pictures of hew model planes, pilots and officials. Fred A. Smith, vice president of the Washington Board of Trade, made a brief speech over the public address system to open the meet for- mally at 1 pm. He was followed on the air by Noble C. Shilt, president of the Derby Association, who ex- plained the organization of the W. available July 1, the beginning of the next fiscal. year. The new submarines will cost ap- proximately $6,000,000 each. Build- ing time is estimated to require from 27 to 32 months, » The Fo WASHINGTON, D.

Cobra’s Venom Used To Treat Victims of Cerebral Palsy Excellent Results Obtained, Doctor Tells Pan-American Group Extracts from the venom of cobras are proving of value in treating some of the most pitiable of human ings—victims of cerebral palsy—Dr. Thomas Wheeldon, of Richmond, Va,, told the Pan-American Medical Association meeting at the Pan- American Union last night. Victims of cerebral palsy are born helpless because of some lesion of the brain which prevents voluntary control of the muscles, including those of speech and facial expres- sion. Hitherto the cases generally have been considered helpless. Ail their lives they must be carried around like new-born infants. But, Dr. Wheeldon said, the mal- ady turns out to be a combination of different syndromes. There is the inability to exert any nervous control over muscles, due to a dee fect in the motor area of the brain. There are involuntary and constant movements of various muscles, the so-called “overflow phenomenon” or use of one muscle when that of an- other is intended, and the inability to maintain equilibrium. Seven Cases in 100,000 There are about seven cases of cerebral palsy, Dr. Wheeldon said, in each 100,000 live births. In the States of Virginia and North Caro- lina there are about 700 cases. The condition has been neglected in the past, he said, partly through the conviction of physicians that there was little to be done for it, partly through the belief that the victims would live only a short time at most, and that most of them were con- genital idiots. Actually, he said, none of these beliefs is true. Many of the victims survive into adult life and are of normal intelligence. A considerable group of them are mistaken for idiots because of their facial ex- pressions and drooling at the mouth. Nothing can be done, he pointed out, to remedy the basic cause of the disease, the congenital brain lesion. The only approach is through an attempt to educate the muscles—a process similar in some respects to that used in the treat- ment of victims of infantile paraly- sis. In order to do this it is neces- sary to obtain relaxation of the nerves controlling these muscles. Proves of Value. For this purpose, Dr. Wheeldon said, the snake venom is proving of exceptional value. It has been pos- sible, by means of it, to clear up the inco-ordination of movement, over- flow phenomenon and involuntary movements and to concentrate on the basic condition. Altogether, he said, several hun- dred cases have been treated, but the results for the whole group are not yet sufficiently clear to be re- ported. Excellent results have been obtained in 11 cases where treat- ment has been completed. Closer personal associations be- tween the medical professions of the United States and Latin America were urged by Dr. Manuel Martinez Baez of Mexico City. While the most cordial relations exist between the organized medical groups, he said, there has been little consulta- tion and discussion by individual physicians on research problems in which they are interested. A fostering of personal com- munication, he said, would go far toward a better international under- standing. Contest Committee. Other officials included: Judges, Capt. Corley P.

C. Committee Fails to Agree On Job Tax Bill Another Attempt at Accord Will Be Made Thursday By JAMES E. CHINN. ‘The House District Committee struggled for more than an hour behind closed doors today with the revised McGehee bill to liberalize the local unemployment compensa- tion law without reaching a decision as to its fate. A special meeting of the full com- mittee was called for 10 a.m. Thurs- day, at which another effort will be made to reach an agreement on the form the legislation shall take before being reportzd to the House. Chairman Randolph said action on the bill Thursday would enable it to be placed on the House calen- dar in time for consideration next Monday, the first District day of the month, The discussion today, it was said, centered around benefits that would be paid the jobless and the length of the benefit period. Representative Eberharter, Democrat, of Pennsyl- vania, who is fighting certain pro- visions of the compromise plan for revising the present law, served no- tice he would insist that the mini- mum benefit be fixed at $6 a week and the maximum $20 a week and that the period over which benefits are paid be extended from 18 to 20 weeks. Two Minor Bills Approved. Chief participants in the debate, it was learned, were Representatives McGehee, Democrat, of Mississippi, sponsor of the bill; Dirksen, Repub- lican, of Illinois and Eberharter, who introduced a measure he claims is more liberal than the revised Mc- Gehee plan, Before the committee went into executive session, it approved two minor bills on its calendar and dis- cussed a measure designed to stop “price cutting™ among liquor deal- ers. Aside from discussing the un- employment compensation bill in the executive meeting, the commit- tee ordered favorable reports on two other measures, one tightening reg- ulation over fire, casualty, marine and title insurance companies. The other would give the Alcoholic Bev- erage Control Board control over liquor prices. One of the two bills favorably re- ported at the public meeting would allow residents of the Virgin Islands adjudged to be of insane mind to be admitted to St, Elizabeth's Hos- Ptak ““The other Would extend the power of the Board of Education over degree-conferring institutions operating in the District to cover junior colleges. Although the committee in the public meeting decided to delay action on the liquor price-fixing bill, it did a somersault in the ex- ecutive session by approving it. Memorandum From Shafer. ‘The discussion of the bill to con- trol liquor prices was inspired by a memorandum to committee mem- bers from Representative Shafer, Republican, of Michigan, who is re- covering at his home in Three Rivers from a serious automobile ac- cident. Representative Eberharter said “cut-throat” competition within the liquor trade had been a serious “evil” for the last year, but he.did not believe action on the bill at this particular time is urgent. For the third successive week, John Russell Young, new District Commissioner, attended the meet- ing and occupied a seat at the com- mittee table. Chairman Randolph commented he had established a precedent for a Commissioner by at- tending three meetings in succes- sion. Father Presents Son Before Supreme Court James A. Brearley, chief clerk of the Patent Office, moved the admis- sion of his son to practice Jefore the Supreme Court shortly after the court convened today. The son, J. Meigs Brearley, an attorney in the Patent Office, re- ceived a degree in engineering and his law degree from George Wash- ington University.

New Civil Procedure Rules Are Applied New Trial Is Allowed On Separable Question In Will Contest The Federal rules for civic pro- cedure, made effective .in District | Court September 16, 1938, apply to probate proceedings, the United States Court of Appeals held today. The appellate court also laid down rules a new trial may be granted | to all or any of the parties on all |or part of the separable questions in a contest. The case arose in a legal battle *we the will of Miss Fanny “Eeker, who died in 1936, Teaving a $7.000 estate. Persons attacking the valid- ity of the will contended she was not of sound mind and memory, and that the will was obtained by | fraud and coercion. In its opinion, Written by Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner, the Court of Appeals recalled that Dis- trict Court ordered a jury trial, which found the woman well men- tally, but held that execution of the will was procured by “undue influ- ence.” The trial court, on a de- fense motion, signed an order set- ting aside the verdict in part and awarding a new trial on the single issue of undue influence. Those attacking the will then carried their fight to the Court of Appeals, con- tending that the lower court» erres in granting a new trial and in al- lowing the single issue of undue influence to go before a jury. The appellate court said today: “It is the settled law -in. this juris- diction that the action of the trial court in granting or refusing a new trial is not reviewable unless there is shown a'clear abuse of discre- tion,” but' said ‘there is no such showing in this case. Further, it held the trial court “entirely cor- rect in limiting the scope of the new trial.” The finding of District Court was affirmed and the case will now go back there before a jury on the single issue of undue in- fluence.

Finally, they discovered the boys’ plight and called the harbor police, who were unable to reach the island because the water was too shallow for their boat. Mr. Empey said that the boys were carried ashore about 1 o'clock this morning, when the tide receded, by men who waded out to them, Early Morning Blaze ¢ Routs Several From Their Beds In}erior of Building On Georgia Avenue Wrecked by Fire A fire early this morning wrecked the interior of a two-story building at 3413 Georgia avenue and routed several persons from their beds. The blaze was discovered about 3:15 am. by Charles T. Widmayer of 3415 Georgia avenue. Mr. Wid- mayer was awakened by the odor of smoke and aroused his wife and three sons. They fied to the street. He hailed a taxicab and told the driver to turn in an alarm.
