CLAVTON FAVERS | SWANTON IN RAGE Veteran Civic Leader Comes Out for Columbia Heights Man for Federation Job. William McK. Clayton, veteran civic leader, today joined the stirring cam- paign for the presidency of the Federa- tion of Citizens’ Associations by an- nouncing his support of Walter I. Swan- ton of the Columbia Heights Citizens’ Assoclation, ‘one of the three candi- dates for eléction which will be held tomorrow night in the boardroom of the District Building. . As chairman of the public utilities committee of the federation, Clayton is recognized as one of the organization’s astute politicans, and his eleventh hour move to throw the election to Swanton 1s viewed with utmost significance by this candidate’s adherants. ' However, the supporters of Dr. George C. Hav- enner of the Anacostia Citizens’ Asso- clation, another candidate, are claim- ing enough pledged votes to elevate him to the federation’s highest office. Havenner is now the federation’s vice president. Hege Strength Unknown. Edwin S. Hege of the Chevy Chase Citizens’ Association, the third candi- date, is not making any claims, and his strength, therefore, is the unknown quantity of the campaign. Some of Hege's supporters nevertheless, are crediting him with 31 pledged votes and predict his election as a compromise when the delegates reach a deadlock over Swanton and Havenner. Clayton said his decision to vote for Swanton ,and to work for his election was motivated by a desire to get the maximum of assistance for the ac- tivities of the public utilities commit- tee, and to bring about a cohesion of g\e factional differences in the federa- jon. “If an organization is to develop ef- fectiveness in determining its policies and executing them,” Clayton declared, “it must depend to & great extent on tts president, who should forego faction- alism, forced expression of both jority and minority opinions and keep voting fair or stand revealed as unfit for his high office. ‘“The federation is unfortunate in that during the last four years this ideal of presidential service has been thrown into the discard. The power of the chair has been used to promote rather than compose factional differ- ences and to defeat, rather than be guided by, the expressed will of ma- Jorities of delegates, Musi Reverse Situation. “This situation must be reversed if the federation is to regain its former en- viable position as a force for public good in the District. ‘The opportunity to do this is at tomorrow night's election. Personal politics must be stamped out. An even-minded, personal and consci= entious officer, who will preside over the deliberations of an earnest, patriotic body for the city's welfare, must be elected. “Such a man is W. I.
