Stanton Park Citizens Ask
More Money to Care
for Needs Here.
An increase in the 1936 District
appropriation bill to properly care
lor health needs here was urged last
night by the Stanton Park Citizens'
Association meeting in the Peabody
School.
Merton S. 'Chipley, who introduced
the resolution adopted, declared there
should have been an increase to per
mit the health department to func
tion properly, rather than a slash in
appropriations. The reduction was
made with "no explanation,” he pointed
out. He deplored the proposed cut in
salary of the superintendent of Gal
linger Hospital. Conditions there war
rant an increased appropriation, he
added.
House Action Discussed.
Association members as a whole
commented briefly on the House
action in slashing the proposed 1936
Federal appropriation toward District
expenses. The resolution asking for
restoration of the appropriation to
combat health conditions in the Dis
trict was ordered sent to Senator El
mer Thomas.
The association irdorsed a plea by
Capt. Richard Mansfield of No. 9
precinct for an increase in policemen
and police squad cars for northeast
Washington.
Capt. Mansfield said his precinct
now had but 72 officers, and asked
that the number be raised to 100.
He declared there are 28 schools in
the northeast section, adding these
could not be properly patrolled to
safeguard school children with the
present inadequate force. He praised
the work of the school boy patrol, but
said they could not take full respon
sibility on their shoulders. J. F.
Wondrack introduced the resolution
Indorsing Mansfield's plea.
Planting of Trees.
Wondrack also asked that trees be
planted in empty treeboxes. In front
of his home at 224 C street north
east, there now is no tree, he told the
association, declaring he would gladly
pay for the tree if the District would
plant it. providing there now are no
available funds for this work.
A. H. Gregory, chairman of the
Schools Committee, asked that the
proper officials be petitioned to im
prove street conditions brought on by
the Winter snow, ice and rain.
Mrs. Elfie A. Shea of 219 Third
street northeast was accepted as a
new member.
Harry N. Stull, president, and Mrs.
Luther H. Brown, secretary, presided
at the meeting.

JURY TAMPERING
RUMOR TO BE AIRED
Grand Jury to Probe Alleged Ac
tion in Liquor Con
spiracy Case.
By the Associated Press.
HARRISONBURG, Va., March 10.—
A Federal grand jury will be asked
here next Monday to investigate
rumored attempts to influence the
verdict of the jury in the Franklin
County liquor conspiracy case tried at
Roanoke last year.
Frank S. Tavenner, jr., assistant dis
trict attorney, said at his home at
Woodstock yesterday that writs of
habeas corpus ad testificandum have
been issued directing the removal of
"practically all” of the persons con
victed in the conspiracy case from the
Atlanta Penitentiary and Camp Lee
to testify before the grand jury here.
"It is also expected that subpoenas
will be served on a number of other
witnesses,” Mr. Tavenner said.
Indictments were returned against
33 persons and a corporation for con
spiracy to violate the internal revenue
laws through illicit liquor activities by
a gTand jury here a year ago.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, March 10.—Mayor
T. Semmes Walmsley, one of the bit
terest foes the late Senator Huey P.
Long ever had, decided yesterday to
square his differences with the Long
political machine by resigning as
mayor provided the State admlnistra
tion restores local self-government to
New Orleans.
The mayor’s offer was made In a
formal statement he addressed to the
Commission Council, but In it he made
no announcement of his future plans
in the event he steps aside.
The statement was issued Just after
the mayor returned from Washington,
where he went for conferences which
he said had to do with Federal works
projects.
Long sought through bitter cam
paigns to get Walmsley out of office
