OIL PLANT POSITION
Arlington County Candidate
for Congress Tells Why He
Is Opposed to Permit.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.
CLARENDON, Va„ June 11.--Capt.
Crandal Mackey, one of Arlington
County’s two candidates for the Demo
cratic nomination for the House of Rep
resentatives from the eighth congres
sional district of Virginia, Is violently
opposed to the location of the Sun Oil
Co. on the proposed site at Rosslyn,
between the Lee Highway and the Po
tomac River.
Among the reasons he dtps why the
plant should be barred is that the loca
tion is not appropriate; that it would
cause a fire hazard; that the proposed
wharves would obstruct the flow of wa
ter In flood times, and that it would
interfere with contemplated construc
tion of the George Washington Memo
rial Park by the Federal Government.
Mr. Mackey's Statement.
Details of his opposition are contained
In the following statement Issued by
him:
“I am opposed to the Sun Oil Co.
locating at the place proposed because
there are locations in the County of
Arlington and down the river that are
appropriate for such an industry and
that will not interfere with the rights
of homeowners and the public. I have
a selfish objection to the proposed loca
tion because it will store five million
gallons of gasoline near my home and
near the road to my home. Thirty-five
other familiies in my neighborhood will
be exposed to the hazard of fire and
explosion. Such explosion would spread
a blanket of flame from the Key Bridge
to the Chain Bridge, destroying all the
vegetation and magnificent trees It has
taken a century to grow.
"Imagine 5,000.000 gallons of gaso
line on lire at one time, throwing its
clouds of Are over the Potomac River
to the whole river front of Georgetown
and enveloping the buildings of George
town University and residences on the
Canal and Conduit roads. We who
have lived a lifetime beside the Po
tomac in the neighborhood where it
is proposed to put the tanks of the
Sun Oil Co. would live in constant
anxiety, nervousness, depression and
terror’ of such explosions. Gasoline
mixed with air is an explosive more
powerful than dynamite and no human
power can combat it when on fire.
Fire engines are helpless and water only
spreads the flames.
"Many courts have enjoined the lo
cation of tanks of gasoline in sparsely
settled areas where the capacity of
the tanks were less than a hundred
thousand gallons. Courts have declared
that no human precautions could
prevent explosions, because the human
element of care and neglect enter in
the equation, as well as oversight, in
difference and forgetfulness. The dan
ger of lightning, short circuits from
electric wires, on boats and trucks, and
along the conduits have caused fires
from gasoline, and overhead cables and
wires along highways where the pipes
conveving gasoline are located have
caused disastrous explosions. Where
such explosions have occurred on hills
sloping toward rivers or near ravines
or stream running to nearby rivers the
whole surface of rivers has been cov
ered with flames to the danger and loss
of shipping and loss of life of pleasure
seekers on the river.
“The proposed wharves extending out
in the river would certainly obstruct the
flow of water in times of flood and cause
pack ice to accumulate in the Winter to
break up in the Spring to the danger of
the Georgetown water front and the
shippping waiting there. No benefit
could come to any one except the stock
holders of the Sun Oil Co., and that a
doubtful benefit. Such a company, as
shown by experience, pays little taxes to
Arlington County, as the income that
the oil company receives is from sales
without the State at the place of deliv
ery, not taxable as income in Virginia. To
use the Potomac west of the Key Bridge
for commercial purposes is not wise or
useful. Commercial uses west of Key
Bridge would destroy the beauty of the
river that is now a playground for ca
noeists, a great w f ater-covered park ex
tending to the Chain Bridge without at
present a commercial enterprise on
either shore.
Others Would Have Right.
“If the Sun Oil Co. can enter upon
this playground with its wharves and
tank ships and storage tanks, others will
have the same right and soon the sur
face of the water will be covered with
oil and gasoline and its use as a resort
for pleasure destroyed. The purpose of
the Crampton bill is to make a beauti
ful parkway along the Potomac on both
sides from the Key Bridge to the Great
Falls. Certainly any commercial enter
prise, to say nothing of objectionable
enterprises, would profane the whole
area for private profit.
“If the park layout is constructed,
the value of land on both sides of the
river in the park area will be enor
mously benefited. If the Sun Oil lay
out is permitted, the value of land on
both sides of the river will be dam
aged, if not destroyed. For my part, I
want no private interests to get a foot
hold on either shore of the Potomac
between the Key Bridge and Chain
Bridge or at Great Falls. I am for the
Government development of a power
plant at Great Falls and the exclusion
of the power trust in that and every
other area. The people of the District
of Columbia and Virginia are paying 10
times as much for electricity as the
people of Hamilton, Ontario, where
electricity is furnished for 1 cent per
kilowatt hour under government owner
ship. and a private company is meeting
the government rate at a profit—l cent
per hour after 60 kilowatts. At St.
Frances, Canada, on the American bor
der, electricity is being furnished for
IV2 cents per kilowatt hour on the Ca
nadian side and by the power trust for
12 cents per kilowatt hour on the Min
nesota side. God help the beauty of the
Potomac and the people if any private
industry of oil or electricity can keep
them chained to the earth.”

Sailors Who “Yarn”
Given a Setback
By “Official” Story
Sailors, who have a reputation
for spinning tall yarns about the
sea, will have to look to their
laurels, for the Navy Department
has officially given sactlon to a
story about the commander of
the International Ice Patrol see
ing “a white whale swimming
In company with a black one."
Quoting a report from the lea
patrol skipper, the department
gave this version of the affair:
"At first it was taken for a growl
er. However, It made two short
dives, while traversing the dis
tance to the ship, and then
sounded close aboard and disap
peared In company with its dark
companion. Neither whale was
seen again ”
EDISON ASKS LOR
HOOVER’S RETURN
Edison Holds President With
out Blame in Most “Ineffi
cient” Government.
, By the Associated Freu.
t PORT MYERS. Fla., June 11.—
: Thomas A. Edison told interviewers
1 here yesterday that he would urge
; President Hoover to seek election for
! a second term.
The aged Inventor was busily engaged
| in packing in preparation for starting
1 to his home at West Orange, N. J.,
‘ today, but he paused to talk with his
visitors.
He said, "The United States Govern
-1 ment 1« the most Inefficient big bus
iness organization in operation today,"
' but he added he did not blame the
1 President. The vast slse of the bus
iness. he said, was responsible.
Asked concerning the soundness of
big business mergers, he replied:
“Mergers are sound up to the point
where the vast size of the business
tends to mismanagement. The Gov
-1 ernment is the worst-managed business
in the United States.”
Turning to the recent big drop In
crude rubber prices, the inventor, who
is seeking a synthetic substitute for
rubber, said "they are selling crude rub
ber below the cost of production. This
is a poor thing for everybody. Labor
In the rubber countries gets only 30
cents a day.
Asked If he favored high wages for
labor. Mr. Edison, who worka 14 hours
a day and enjoys It, said:
"Certainly, why not give the laborer
a good wage as long as the business he
works for is making money.
“Henry Ford’s idea in that particular
case Is right. I agree with him there.”
The inventor said there are more than
700 varieties of plants growing around
Fort Myer and he had tested all of
them.
About 10 per cent of the lot con
tained rubber, but golden rod is still
the best. It Is growing fine and making
more rubber every day, he added.

POLICEMEN BEATEN
IN ASSAULT SERIES
One Prisoner of Five Unruly
Captives Is Sent to Hos
pital After Clash.
A prisoner and a policeman were
being given hospital treatment today
following a wholesale aeries of assaults
upon officers yesterday and last night
by five prisoners.
Pvt. Emlous Barnett of the eighth
, precinct was cut and bruised and then
fired upon while placing a man under
arrest In Temperance alley. The sus
pect, Allen Weldon, colored, 23 years
old of 1107 R street, was overpowered
In a heated struggle with Barnett and
is under police guard at Freedmen's
Hospital, where he is being attended
for severe lacerations of the scalp. He
will be charged with assault.
Barnett was passing the Thirteenth
street entrance to Temperance alley,
near U. when he saw Weldon coming
out with a suit case. Ordered to halt,
the man dropped the bag and ran. The
policeman caught him, but Weldon
broke away and ran Into a house. As
the policeman crashed through the door
way Weldon stunned him with a flat
Iron.
Barnett staggered to hls feet and
grabbed a hammer, closing in on his
opponent. He prevented Weldon from
reaching for a pistol and blackjack and
beat the colored man.
Pvt. Merlin E. Swanson of the third
precinct was still In Emergency Hos
pital today as a result of stab wounds
inflicted yesterday by Mrs. Mary De
penbrock, who afterward was taken to
Gallinger Hospital for mental observa
tlon. _ .

squad was punched In the nose last
night by Mrs. Mary Peretti. 45. when

Mrs. Helen Heindrich, 38 years old. of
1461 Harvard street was booked on two
charges of assault, disorderly conduct :
and destruction of private property. She

Helen Heindrich, and then attacked Po
liceman M. P. Donohue when he went
to arrest her. Mrs. Heindrich obtained
her release on SI,OOO bond.
The attack on the stepdaughter fol
lowed closely the filing of a petition
by Frank Heindrich, the husband,
to annul his marriage. The two were
married November 29. The husband
told the District Supreme Court yester
day in the petition that he did not
learn until last month that Mrs. Hetn
drlch obtained a divorce from a former

From the office of the Anti-Saloon
league of the District of Columbia.
Bupt. Albert E. Shoemaker has Issued
an appeal for passage of the fire and
police pay bill, declaring that increased
pay for the city’s protectors would go
a long way toward .mprovlng law en
forcement.
He declared that the public would
regard Chairman Simmon* of the
I House subcommittee on appropriations
i as a “dutiful public servant,” ir he
would wait until the next session to
remedy any wrongs in the bill and
permit it to pass now without further
delay. If the bill fails now, Shoe
maker believed. Washington would
suffer. Simmons has blocked passage
of the bill.
"I believe the Anti-Saloon league
of the District of Columbia, while it
' has taken no formal action on the
matter,” said the statement, made
! public today, “naturally joins with all
good citizens in favoring prompt en
actment of legislation granting ade
quate pay to the policemen and fire
men of the District. The league Is
interested in law enforcement and
satisfactory pay for the public’s pro
tectors will go a long way toward im
proving the morale of both policemen
and firemen, with resulting Improve
ment in law enforcement.
With this In mind. I hope Repre
sentative Robert G. Simmons of Ne
braska will withdraw his opposition to
the long-pending bill increasing the pay
of District policemen and firemen, in
order that it may be enacted before
Congress adjourns.
“The public will regard Mr. Simmons
as a dutiful public servant, If now,
having called attention to discrepancies
in existing laws, he allows the pay bill
to be enacted. There will be time
enough at the next session of Congress
to remedy any wrongs In existing law
and I am sure the various committees
of Congress and the business and cit
izen associations of the city ’ ill co
operate at that time in perfecting such
legislation.
The defenders of the lives and prop
erty of the people should be fairly com
pensated, we all agree, and that Is
why the citizens of Washington favor
this increased pay bill. And aside from
its other benefits, Increased pay scales
will attract to the ranks of the two
departments a better class of men.
I “The time for adjustment of Con
gress is nearing and if this bill fails
of enactment, the Nation's Capital will
suffer. There has been a marked in
crease in morale in the police and fire
departments ever since Congress began
consideration of this bill. The men and
officers have realized that Congress is
as interested in perfecting the govern
ment of our city as are its citizens.
And the work of these two depart
ments has improved as a result in the
last few months.
“If this bill now falls, there Is cer
tain to be a letdown In the efficiency
' and morale of both departments and I
! trust Mr. Simmons will not assume that
j responsibility.”
