Leading civic bodies in the District are co-operating in arranging for the Independence day celebration, which is to be held In the stadium of Central High Community Center on the eve- ning of July 4, at 8 o'clock. Contribu- tions to the fund for that purpose have been voted by the Board of Trade and by the Chamber of Commerce. A committee, headed by A. J. Driscoll and_including Charles P. Light, Ben T. Webster and Conway W. Cooke, has been appointed by President Sam- uel J. Prescott of the Board of Trade to act in connection with the execu- tive committee for the celebration, of which Unitefl States Marshal Edgar C. Snyder is chairman. Patriotic groups and organizations, both local and national, have been in- vited to take part In the celebration, in commemoration of great events in na- tional history. Through Brig. Gen. George Richards, who was chairman of the committee on arrangements for the official celebration of George Washington's birthday, invitations have been extended to the 71 partici- pating organizations. The Sons of the Revolution have already responded and FMS made a contribution to the July 4 und. Fireworks a Main Feature. Fireworks will be one of the main tures of the evening, and red signal lights will illumine the big stadium during the program, which will open th a half-hour concert by the United tates Marine Band, and will include a brief patriotic message to the people of the District, delivered by Mr. E. C. Snyder, chairman of the Community Center Council of the city. Historical tableaux, under direction of Marie Moore Forrest, will form a pictorial and dramatic feature of the exercises, beginning with the “March of .Yesterday” and concluding with the “March of Today,” in which sev- eral hundred citizens of the District will take prominent parts. Commissioner Rudolph is expected to administer the oath of citizenship to young men and women of the Dis- trict who have recently arrived at their majority, and all aliens who have just become naturalized citizens will be invited to take part in thi ceremony also. The Americanization School, under direction of Miss Maude Aiton, which usually arranges its own 4th of July program, will join this year in the city-wide celebration in the stadium. U. S.

Attempt of Kwangtung Troops to Land at Canton Fails. CANTON, June 11 ().—Fighting day and night, armies of rival mill- tary leaders continued their battle for possession of Canton today with new fury es telling blows were reflected in increased casualties. A force of Kwangtung troops in the attacking Cantonese army was shot into the river last night when an attempt was made to make a surprise landing, which was discovered by the defend: ing forces. Heavy casualties resulted and at dawn many bodles were seen in the river. Adaltional foreign gunboats arrived today, making a total of 10 in port. The forelgn warcraft is being used to- dny to administer medical assistance to wounded residents of the river front. Eighteen members of the Chinese chamber of commerce here today walted on British consular authori- ties, presumably regarding the pres- ent situation, but the result of the call was not made known. The defending Yunnanese troops as- sert their willingness to hand over the government to the Kwangtung wing of the attacking force. The Yun- nanese leaders agree the Kwang- tungites are competent to handle government affairs and the defend- ing forces would be willing to sup- port_them. Public_opinion favors the retention of the Yunnanese forces in charge of the government at Canton. The Associated Press correspondent was approached with a request today to interview Gen. Yang Hsi-Min of the attacking forces stationed at Shaho, six miles outside the city. —_— POLICE FIRE ON STRIKERS. By the Associated Press. SYDNEY, N. S., June 11 (#)—Po- lice today fired upon a mob of strikers attempting to ente rthe powerhouse at New Waterford, operated as an auxiliary of the British Empire Steel Corporation. Four of the attackers were sald to have been wounded. All wires to the powerhouse later were cut and it was impossible to con- firm reports that further disturbances had taken place there between strikers and gyards.

It is not reason- able, and I intend to do evervthing possible tc have something dope this Summer, and I will give my whole- heared support to the action when it comes up for consideration in the next Congress.” To See Wood. Mr. Updyke said that he was going to have a conference today with Representative Wood of Indiana, and with him work out some solution of the matter. Representative Wood is the righthand man of Representa- tive Madden, and Mr. Updyke thought that he and Representative Wood might send a telegram to Mr. Madden outlining the situatfon, acquainting him with the sentiment here and with the sentiment of those congressmen who have been reached, which seems to be in favor of opening the tempo- rary beaches this Summer. Some objections to the establish- ing of a bathing beach for colored persons at Jones Point have been voiced by members of the colored citizens' asociations because of the distance of the proposed beach from the center of the city and fear that the water there could not be suf- ficiently purified, according to George H. Richardson, president of the Fed- eration of Civic Associations and a members of the Citizens' Advisory Council. Mr. Richardson said it was his un- derstanding that the decision of the Advisory Council was that the col- ored people should decide for them- selves if and where a separate bath- ing beach should be established for their use. Mr. Richardson said the matter probably would be decided by the Federation of Clvic Assoclations at its next meeting, on June 26. It is not probable that a special meeting will be called before that time, he sald. A survey of the wishes of the colored people should be taken, he declared, before any action is taken regarding a beach.

Arthur Burt Co., 1343 F Street HINGTON ment of a bathing beach for the col- ored population here unless the ma- Jority of the contributions came from members of his race. While Mr. Richardson was, to a large degree, giving his own views on the subject, a letter which takes @ declded stand against the Jones Polnt location for colored bathers was sent to the White House today by the Civic Centers of Affillated Associa- tlons, comprising a number of col- ored organizations in the city. The letter, signed by W. D. Nixon, presi- dent, and H. E. Barnett, secretary, Tolloivs: “The Civic Center of Affiliated Asso- clations of the District of Columbia, composed of 23 organizations, are deej ly concerned about the proposed ac- tion to defeat the intent of Congress in regard to both white and colored citizens using the Tidal Beach for bathing purposes. “Congress intended either the estab- lishment of both beaches on the Tidal Basin or the complete elimination of all bathing in the Basin. “Congress has specified that both beaches be demolished. With apparent eargerness and seemingly undue haste Col. Sherrill removed one, but for some reason falled to remove the ather. “If, Mr. President, it is lawful to re- establish one section of the Tidal Basin for bathing purposes, it is equally law- ful to re-establish the other section.

The following letter from Col. Sher- rill to Representative Thomas L. Blan- ton of Texas was made public today: “My dear Mr. Blanton: - “Recelpt is acknowledged of your letter of June 9, inclosing telegrams from five of your fellow members of the District committee. “I am glad to know the attitude of these members of Congress as to the continuance of the bathing beach for the white people and the authorization of bathing facilities for the colored people. “It would be very helpful to me it you could secure favorable reaction from Representative Madden, chair- man of the appropriations committee of the House, on this matter, for he was most emphatic in saying to me that Congress had clearly expressed itself to be opposed to any bathing whatsoever in the Tidal Basin this Summer in view of the elimination of the colored bathing beach. “I have no doubt whatever of the legality of authorizing bathing this Summer in the Tidal Basin and at Jones Point, but I do feel that while such action would be undoubtedly legal, yet it would be directly contrary to the implied wishes of Congress, and, therefore, such leaders as the chair- men of the appropriations committees of the Senate and House should, it seems to me, take the responsilglity for the re-establishment of these bath- ing facilities under this office. “Personally I am in_entire accord ; Hotel Inn Phone Main 8108-8100. 604-610 9th St. N.W., ¥ '50% more: R I Glacier NATIONAL PARK Open June 15 to Sept. 15 Give your youngsters this trip this Summer.

These two sites would then take care of the bulk of the bathers,and with the provision of bathing pools in the next year or two at the present Sixteenth Street Reservoir site for white people and the construction of a similar large bathing pool by this office in the vicin- ity of Howard University for the col- ored people, would, I think, solve the whole question for a number of years to dom ours very truly, “C. 0.
