By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. COLMAR MANOR, Md., April 8.— Enumerating “blind pigs, bootlegging, hi-jacking and gambling places” as fac- tors detrimental to any community, Rev, O. E. Sproull, president of the newly formed Colmar Manor Improvement Association, called upon the citizens of that town to support “every reasonable, practical and sincere plan for civic bet- terment,” in an address before a special meeting in the Wilson Avenue Baptist Church Saturday night, at which the organization arrangements of the new group were completed. “As a_ community Colmar Manor is making little, if any, progress in civic improvement,” Rev. Mr. Sproull de- clared. “But we are now launching a movement that will make itself felt along all lines of civic control.” Citing unhealthy refuse disposal and lack of recreational facilities as other matters requiring. immediate attention, Rev. Mr. Sproull urged the members of the organization to support “only such men as will co-operate with the Im- provement Assoclation for the better- ment of Colmar Manor” in the next town elections. A constitution, drawn by a committee appointed for that purpose the week previous, was adopted with few changes at the meeting. It provided that the organization be called “The Colmar Manor Improvement Association,” and set forth its object as “the promotion of the interests of the residents of Colmar Manor.” Dues were set at $1 a year. ‘The chief difficulty was encountered in agreeing on the date of meeting, the first Saturday in each month finally being adopted, after balloting among the 100 members present had disclased a tie, and Rev. Mr. Sproull cast the de- ciding vote. The next meeting will also be held in the Wilson Avenue Baptist of the Washington-Lee High School of the Villa Maria Academy of West Falls Kenneth Elliott of the Jefferson High School of East Falls Church. | Church. PRESIDENT TOLD OF INEQUALITIES Annual and Sick Leave P rob- lems in Government Are Presented. President Hoover today was asked by Dr. W. F. Willoughby, director of the Institute of Government Research, and Luther M. Steward, president of the Federation of Federal Employes, to bring about better co-ordination of the administrative agencies having to do with the operations of the Federal Gov- ernment, The President’s attention es- pecially was called to the inequalities and the unfairness resulting from the different interpretations placed upon the question of annual and sick leave for employes of the Government. President Hoover was advised that in some -of the departments the 30-day. annual leaves and 30-day sick leaves are discretionary on the part of the heads of those departments. Also the President was told that some Federal employes receive only 15 days’ annual leave and others no sick leave. It was suggested to the President that a plan be worked out whereby personnel matters of the_ Government might be more centrally controlled. It was suggested that the President see to it that the personnel matters be standardized, not only as a matter of equality, but in the interest of effi- ciency .
