THE FEVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 24, 1928.° NS INRFT | OVER RESDENT olumbia Heights Faction| Plans Separate Organi- zation. A revolt within the Columbia Heights Citizens’ Association against the lead- crship of J. Clinton Hiatt, president, has led to steps being taken by a dis- satisfled element to organize a rival and independent association. October 8, it was learned today, has been set as the tentative date for, an organization meeting in the Wilson Nor- mal School, provided a constitution can be drawn up by that time and permis- sion is given for the use of the schoo! bout 75 men and women who re- ntly severed relations with the mother ssociation are leaders in the revolt, hich €hey declared was aimed at the ulldozing” tactics of a clique headed President Hiatt. The revolt brings to a head a controversy which has dis- ropted harmony within the ranks of the Columbia Heights Association since last May. Recruits Expected. Many -new recruits are. expected to join the ranks of the ‘“rebels” before the meeting October 8, it was claimed. Although no official name has been s>lected for the new association, Charles S. Easterling is temporary chairman and Harry C. Phillips temporary sec- retary. From the attitude of Mr. Hiatt, it would seem that the policy of the Co- lumbia Heights Citizens' Association is to permit the disgruntled element to “depart in peace.” Hiatt refused ab- solutely to discuss the situation today. He indicated, however, that he would have plenty to say later about condi- tions within the association. The rift between the two factions within the association started last May following the report of the membership chairman in which it was charged that the names of several members had been submitted improperly at the April meet- ing. An investigation was demanded. According to Phillips, the investiga- tion revealed that Hiatt has “knowing- ly” recommended several persons in- eligible for membership because of their non-residence in the section covered by the association and that some of these new members had voted in the election. Expulsion Voted. ‘The association thereupon voted to expel these members and requested the resignation of Hiatt as president. When Hiatt refused to resign the chair was declared vacant. Hiatt, in the meanwhile, got busy and lined up a strong support. At the July meeting the association voted to expung from the record its action of the previous month, which had “tech- nically” removed Hiatt. As a result the president was renamed and continues to be in power. Resentful at being “steam-rollered,” the rebel faction decided to sever re- lations and quit the association in a body. Mr. Easterling said he expects &t least 200 members in the new asso- ciation by the time it is in operation. D. C.

There is 4 businesslike atmosphere | to Mr. Hoover's semi-weekly press con- ferences, that reflects the increasing intensity of the campaign. He seldom speaks for direct quolstlont but answers questions put him by the | | newspaper men with an unhesitating decision and often with an attention to | detail that makes his position on points at issue altogether clear. ‘Sometimes his replies are almost | abrupt, always they are decisive. His promptness in meeting the questi | with which he is plied recalls Roos velt's famous ‘“snap judgment. called, but which often proved to be the result of long thought on the subjecl.! under discussion. 3 “No, I have nothing further to say | on that this time.” Hoover replies de nitely, or, “Yes, that will be given con- sideration.” “Easy Friendliness” Noted. . But, with all oft his businesslike air, somehoy or other there is an easy friendliness to the conferences, brought about largely perhaps by the informality given them by the nominee. By circumstance, the press confer- ences were begun in the typewriter- encircled room at Hoover headquarters, which is the newspaper men's special province. Warned that first day that cleaning was still in progress in his own rather impressive quarters, Mr. Hoover turned aside to the small, un- curtained ground-floor reception room, now converted into a press room. “Let’s go right in here,” he said, and “right in here” the conferences have been held until Friday, when -the correspondents were invited upstairs. Some 40 or 50 Washington and out- of-town writers, usually all men, but occasionally with a few women, crowd the conference room. Somectimes Mr. Hoover's coming is heralded, but more often without any preliminary warning he is suddenly in the center of the group, taking his place on a straight typist's chair, behind which some one’s hea)? of newspapers lie on a plain maple desk. “Well, what's on your mind today; there’s nothing much on mine,” is his usual greeting, with an expectant glance around at the men shuffling into HOOVER SWIFT IN DISPOSING OF HIS CAMPAIGN PROBLEMS and Decisive Replies to Queries at Press Confel_—ences Dem- onstrate Intensity of National Contest. If he has a statement on any definite point, he launches straight into it, sitting forward on his chair, his big hands folded, one on the other in a rather quaint, old-fashioned gesture, on the edge of the before him. He speaks in a low Ve but his sentences follow one another with clarity and precision in a steady, unhesitating flow, | while pencils scratch busily in the hushed room around him. Then he looks for further questions, or turns to smile at side remarks passed by th: members of the group whom he has come to know. When he realizes the questioning is over he snaps back into more business-like air. “Well, any more? Then I gudss that's all for today,” is his almost unvarying conclusion. He rises quickly, his chair scraping on the stone floor, and the men make way for his blue-coated figure, as he heads toward the door. As suddenly as he came, he is gone. Typewriters and_telephones are noisily at worg again. The interview is ended. . Finds Son Dead in Bed. Robert Howell Gross, 32 years old, was found dead in bed in his home at 3233 M street early last evening by his father, Joseph H. Gross.
