Authorization was given for the appointment of an executivé commit- tee of five members which immediate- 1y will devise ways and means for putting into effect ruggestions made at the meeting for dressing the capi- tal in its best garb for the armament arley. Piihe most favorably considered of there sugmgestions were: That for the purposes of an fm- mediate clean-up _campaign the city be divided into districts, each sub- division to be specially looked after by an individual organization, That sanitation propaganda be car- rled to the homes through the public schools. 1t Is expected the executive dom- mittee to be named will adopt these roposals. Y At the sugmestion of Bdward F. Colladay, a campaign slogan, “What Are You Doing to Make Washington Beautiful?” was adopted. Several general resolutions offered by Col. Sherrill also were adopted. These recite that it is the sense of the organization that responsibility for a clean and attractive city rests primarily with the individual eltizen; that the public schools should fnau- gurate a continulng coursé in Basic sanitation principles, and that - the cause of civic cleanliness should be promoted through the churches.

Secretary Hoover in announcing yesterday that the Department of Commerce was prepared 1o serve as a focal point for efforts of state and municipal governments to assure the movement of food, fuel and other pri- mary commodities, in event of the strike, indicated that motor truck and water traneportation would be used to supplement any portion of the rail- roads left in operation. Traffic ex- { perts have computed that, through the proper use of motor equipment, the average American city can draw sub- sistence from contiguous territory within a radius of fiftty miles. Under this_plan, it was said, a community would not feel the effects of a natiog,- al strike before severnl weeks hid passed, inetead of In a few days, as would have been the case ten years ago. g‘ewrls to the department indicate that large industries generally jave been busy for some time assemt:iing reserve stocks of fuel and raw mate- rial. This preparation would permit the department's relief work, it was pointed out, to be centered In behalf of those industries which had been unable to take similar precaution, and would limit the danger of industrial shutdowns STRIEE PLANS UNCHANGED.
