- ..10,"‘\ CITIZENS PROTES - PARK BOND ISSUE Columbia Heights Body As- .. sails Congress for Lack of Foresight. Blame for the present inadequacy ot park and playground facilities in the District of Columbia was laid to Congress by members of the Co- lumbia Heights Citizens' Association at a meeting in Wilson Normal Echool, Eleventh and Harvard streets, last night, when opposition was voted to a proposed $10,000,000 bond issue for the purchase of playground spaces here. Miss A. G. Woodward, chairman of the recreation and amusement com- mittee, offered resolutions favoring the issue, declaring that children of the community were forced to use streets for their games, but the re- ports of Charles T. Clayton, chair- man of the committee on laws and Jegislation, held an adverse view and it was voted to substitute his recom- mendation that no bond issue be #avored until fiscal relations between the Federal and District governments 4s established. Congress Is Scored. Mrs. Lucy Swanton, in placing re- @ponsibility for lack of playgrounds here, declared that for 20 years citi- gens have been pleading for addi- tional space, urging immediate pur- “chase of available sites and designat- ing the locations, while no one in Congress would heed the request. Now it is planned to saddle a huge interest bill onto taxpavers, she said, to care for congressional lack of goresight. W. 1. Swanton, former member of the Citizens' Advisory Council, fa- ,vored a “pay-as-you-go” policy, as- erting that there would be no end the infliction of bond issues on LDistrict resld:nts should Congress ent to this one. .c;:-er: was no opposition to the wection of Miss Woodward's report yecommending enlarged playground facilities, but Mr. Clayton was emphatic in declaring that suitable icommittees be instructed to present a united front in appearing before | Congress with a demand for the fix- 4ng of definite fiscal relations be- tween the District and Federal 'Government. 3 Harley P. Wilson of the Washing- fon Rapid Transit Co. talked on transportation organization and oper- wmtion, outlining his plan for a merger of transportation facilities of the eity, and stated that if his plan was not acceptable, he wanted none to feel hesitancy in expressing adverse views, but suggested constructive criticism. He touched on the con- gressional appropriation for the Dis- trict's upkeep, declaring that it is typical of Americans to have what they want and be willing te pay for it, and to visualize 126,000,000 Ameri- cans being satisfied with the merger $9,000.000 which Congress appropri- ates for the upkeep of their Capital is unimaginable. Zoning to Be Ctudied. Chairman J. Harry Jones of the ‘committee on real estate conditions, urged all property owners of the community to attend a meeting Thursday, November 10, in the Wil- son Normal School, when the sub- Ject to be discussed will be restric- tive covenants and building lines and zoning. President Alton B. Carty announced that the mnext general meeting of all committees would be held next Wednesday, when the eve- ning would be given over to the discussion of traffic problems, in- cluding title regulation and com- automobile liability insur- ance. Resolutions were adopted urg- ing the beautification of school build- ings and grounds. W. W.

As individuals the world over have learned to live in peaceful communi- ties, so the nations must learn to live, and this is to be accomplished by community spirit and organization, of which the League of Nations, Locarno and other recent international treaties are but the first steps, Rev. Dr. Frederick Lynch declared today at the morning session of the eleventh annual convocation of the School of Religion of Howard University. held h;n the Rankin Chapel of the univer- sity. Community life means peace and individualism brings about war, and the province of the church is to foster the one and discourage the other, Dr. Lynch continued. History has been the development of the art of living together. From remote times, indi- viduals have approached the mastery of the art and now nations should work for the same end, using meth- ods, if not exactly analagous, at least based on the same fundamental ideas, Dr. Lynch explained. Evangelism was discussed later in the morning in an open forum con- ducted by Rev. Charles L. Goodell. Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, and Dr. Albert J.

By the Associated Press CHICAGO, November 2.—Reappor- tionment acts of 1901 and 1893, fixing the senatorial districts of the State, were declared unconstitutional yester. day by Judge Michael Feinberg of Cir- cuit Court. He held they abused rep- resentation. Judge Feinberg's opinion was ex- pressed in a decision to a demurrer filed by Robert M. Sweitzer, county clerk, to & mandamus sought by John B. Fergus, who claimed Sweitzer should call the April, 1928, primary under the reapportionment act of 1882, The decision declared that both the 1893 and 3901 redistricting statutes were discriminatory and arbitrarily in favor of certain counties and opposed to_others. . The effect of the Feinberg opinion, it upheld by the Supreme Court, said Lloyd M. Brown, attorney for Fergus, would be: To vacate all seats in the State Sen- ate, as their election would have been illegal. To restore counties, In the case of the 1901 reapportion- “home rule” to all Don’t Neglect Your Skin skin, pimples and other face blem- all the face creams and skin lotions won’t help you. | You must expeld | the poisons from the intestines—the bowels must move regularly.

Similarly the act of 1893 was at- tacked because two counties, Kane and Adams, were not given proper representation. The former was join- ed with Dupage and the latter with Brown. ““The inexcusable failure of the sev- eral Legislatures in the last 26 years to do their plain constitutional duty to apportion the State has brought into question by this proceeding the validity of the two apportionment acts in question,” Judge Feinberg commented. “The county is the most important political division of the State, and its autonomy Is ‘expressly protected by the Constitution,” he asserted. The Fergus group brought their ac- tion to determine if Chicago and Cook County are being discriminated against. They claim that the city and county have 50 per cent of the State's population and 37.25 per cent of its legislative representation, A doctor speak only one lan. guage, and yet be fa s miliar with many e —— ‘When you buy CANNED SOUPS Remember to buy a bottle of LEA & PERRINS’ SAUCE i [ “Gulf No- Motor Fuel” withstands higher compression— Stops carbon knocks “THE STERRETT OPERATING SERVICE” Caravan of Modern General Motors Six-cylinder Fast-duty Trucks is back in Washington after a 2,000-mile tour of the State of Virginia. “Gulf No-Nox Motor Fuel and Supreme Motor Oils Were Used” Throughout the Entire Trip “Gulf Refining Company”’ TRANSPORTATION EN EERS o TRUCKS FOR EVERY PURSE AND PURPOSE General Motors Truck CARAVAN Having Completed a 2,000-mile Tour of Virginia NOW IN WASHINGTON WATCH FOR THESE MODERN 6-CYL.
