Representative Bloom, another New York Democrat, wrote Senator Borah, | suggesting that the American pubiic should not be called upon to play Santa Claus to Sinclair, and that if the money was to be returned to Sinclair, it should be paid back by the men who obtaincd it and used it. tor Borah responded: “Mr. Bloom, I have net solicited any money from you in regard to this mat- | ter. and if your sense of propriety is such that you think you ought not to contribute “anything, T shall not find fault, with your failure to do so.” $500 PLEDGED TO FUND.

The movement originating in the Bethesda Chamber of Commerce several months ago to change the name of Bethesda to Chevy Chase is meeting with such stiff opposition that sup- porters of the change have virtually dropped all efforts to accomplish their objective. For the present at least, it was learned yesterday from chamber officials, no further consideration will be given the matter. Opposition developed in all com- | munities of the largely populat | Wachimgton suburban section in Mont- | gomery County, known as Bethesda. The final blow was delivered this week { when the Woman's Club of Bethesda went on record as unanimously op- posed to changing the name to Chevy Chase or to any other name. The | Newcomb Club of Bethesda. another | organization of women, took similar | action several weeks ago. | | _ Opinion also is sharply divided in the | Chamber of Commerce, and, while action !has been taken on the matter, It is evident that should it come to a vote the chamber would take the same posi- | tion as the two women's organizations The suggestion that the name b= changed was made by several members of the chamber several months ago when the body was making its plans for an advertising campaign in Wash- ington newspapers, telling of advan- tages of this residential section. It was contended that Chevy Chase was so well known that great benefits would be derived from the use of that name It also was pointed out that the two sections are virtually one community. have the same problems, and confusion would be saved if the territory were grouped under one name. The move was originated by real {estate men and property owners. who are pledged to support Senator | Borah 1or the Presidency.

JAPANESE SHIP AGROUND OFF COAST OF CAROLINA By the Assariated Press SOUTHPORT, N. C, March 17.—~The Japanesz freighter Tofuku Maru, botnd, for Wilmington, N. C., with a cargo of nitrate of soda from Chile, went aground this afternoon on the out bar of the Cape Fear River, a few miles from here. Tughoats from Wilmington were rushed to the distressed vessel, and reported to Coast Guard headquarters that the freighter was lying easily and was in no immediate danger. ‘The Tofuku Maru, 6ne of the largest vessels to make the port of Wilmingion, was reported in the marine register at 4.259 tons. Her crew was estimated at between 75 and 100. The vessel is re- ported to draw about 25 feet of water. Hasty preparation was made for aff effort early tomorrow to float the huge freighter. The craft was steaming around the bar to turn up the Cape Fear River for Wilmington when she missed her course slightly and dragged the bottom. Ths impact turned the vessel slightly on its side. but it was not believed that the Maru was greatly damaged. Question: Can rickets be prevented?
