' ) NON-PARTISAN VOTE PLEA TO BE MADE Washington’s Plight to Be Decribed Tonight in Two Radio Addresses. The non-partisan character of the campaign to Americanize residents of Washington, will be emphasized tonight when Congress will be urged in two radio talks over WRC between 8:30 and 9 to approve the constitutional amend- | ment proposed by the citizens' joint| committee on national representation, | which would give inhabitants of the| District the right, enjoyed by other | Americans to vote for President and Vice President and presidential elec- tors. The speakers will be Edward F. Col- laday, Republican national committee- man for the District, former president | of the Federation of Citizens' Associ- ations and former president of the Board of Trade: and John F. Costello, | Democratic national committeeman for the District, who is a native of Wash- | ington, a member of the local bar and former recorder of deeds. Fourth Program in Series. This will be the fourth and last pro- | gram in a series of radio talks on na- tional representation for the District. | arranged by the citizens joint committee with the National Broadcasting Co. They are addressed to the Seventy-| first Congress and especially to the new | members of the House and Senate. It is not expected that the subject will be taken up at the present special | session. The present campaign is for the purpose of keeping the subject con- | stantly before Congress and the people and is preliminary to intensive drive next Winter when Congress wiil meet in regular session. Voteless Plight Explained. Since the convening of the Seventy- first Congress in special session, six men and women. members of the citizens’ joint committee on national Tepresenta- tion and representatives of organized public opinion in the District, have ex- plained the voteless plight of Washing- tonians and the remedy, urging that the p sed amendment to the Constitu- tion be submitted to the States for rati- fication by Congress. The National Broadcasting Co.,; through its vice president, Frank M. Russell, has offered the facllities of | ‘~the companv to the ecitizens’ committee ~to renew the drive next Fall. .

He will maintain’ his headquarters at 1027 Connecticut avenue. After the White House revealed that Z it had recelved the resignation, Mr. = Childress issued a statement in which - he expressed regret that he is leaving the commission before the constructive . matters pending before it are settled. Expresses His Regret. ~ “On yesterday I tendered my resigna- & tion to the President as a member of ~ the Public Utilities Commission, to take effect at the convenience of the Presi- dent,” said the statement, “but with the suggestion that by May 31 I would be able to clear up the matters of im- portance in this office which require personal attention. ’ “I have found the work on this com- - mission during the past two years mast = interesting and congenial, and I feel ~ that there is yet much to be done of a constructive nature in connection with the matters which have come up since my appointment by President Coolidge, and I dislike to leave before all such ~ matters are settled. On the other = hand, I do not feel that I can afford to my personal interests by continuing further in the public serv- ice, so 1 have decided to resign and accept the offer which has just been made me by Mr. Joseph E. Sheedy, ex- ecutive vice president of thé United ~States Lines, Inc., to become that com- fnm“ general agent and representative | > Washington covering the territory ¢f Maryland, District of Columbia and Virgina, “My decision to enter the transporta- tion business was reached after I con- cluded that the newly created United States Liner wil be an important factor in the re-establishment of this indus- try in the United States, placing it on @ plane commensurate with iis im- portance to the Nation. “With additional tonnage planned and ‘with the efficient and experienced super- vision of the new management of the United States Lines, 1 am confident that the American merchant marine, backed by the American people, i on | the threshold of a new era and that| such a connection will prove most in- teresting as well as permanent.” Named by Coolidge. Appointed by President Ooolidge in ~January, 1927, as one of the two civilian members of the new and independent -¢ommission, Mr. Childress has ceen an outstanding figure in .he epochel events in public utility affairs the last two years. As chairman, Mr. Childress directed the commission when it readjusted tele- phone, electricity and motor bus rates and successfuily delayed an attempt to raise sireet car fares. The commission’s moet notable achievement during his regime, however, was the approval of a lan for merging the transportation flnn of the Distriet—an improvement persistently sought for more than 20 years. Politically Mr. Childress is & Demo- erat. and his success in getting an ap- intment to the new commission after ts creation was due largely to the in- fluence of the Tennessee delegaticn in Congress, whose support he solicited. Quite unlike other candidates for the post, he frankly admitted he applied to | the White House for the position, and | then went out and mustered political support. ‘Wanted Something to Do. t the time of his appointment Mr. Childress said he fought the position | because of a desire “to get someining to do.” His duties with the Emerson Pump & Valve Co. in Alexandria, Va., which he owned. he sald, did not keej him busy enough. “I found mysell playing golf three and four days & week,” he saild. “That is not good for n.

Has Varied Interests, but Regards Family as Most Important of All. BY MARGARET HART. | A white-haired lady with deep sea | blue eyes and dimpled cheeks, Mrs. Ray | Lyman Wilbur, wife of the Secretary of | the Interior, brings to the cabinet cir- | cle the evangel of modern motherhood. | Surrounded in her hotel apartment | with pictures of her children and grand- children, this college classmate of Mi Herbert Hoover has varied inter but she regards the rearing of the c ing generation as the greatest of the | fine arts and the most important busi- | ness in life. Like Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Wilbur has a cosmopolitan point of social experience. She has lived in France and Germany, although she has not been abroad since 1911. 8he is a constant reader, and is | versed in horticulture. | Young People “Worth While.” “Do you find much difference between | the young people of today and those | of a generaticn past?” Mrs. Wilbur was asked. “The young people today are differ- | ent in a way.” she replied. “Every one | realizes- that. But I find them very worth while and perfectly capable of rising to any emergency, which they usually handle most successfully. They think a great deal for themselves, and they give more thought to world prob- | lems than they did a generation ago. “That is as it should be, becaus feel that until recent years, general speaking, the world was blind to inte national problems. | “In California, where for many years Mr. Wilbur has been president of the | Laland University, young people are taking & keen interest in the problems | of the Pacific. Much interest has been | shown by them in the Institute of Pa- cific Relations, founded to promote friendly understanding among the coun- tries bordering the Pacific.” | Mrs. Wilbur was asked if she thought 1t wise to educate a girl with the idea it self-support. 5 i bclle\??ozvery girl should be trained to do something worth while,” was the reply. “As life comes to her she ghould be ready to meet it. She should have training which will enable her to sup- port herself if life so develops. I think any woman whose mind has been well developed and well trained is capable Parents’ Aid Needed. Mrs. Wilbur is an emphatic believer in personal parental supervision in the | upbringing of children. In her opinion governesses and nurses are all right to | perform the minor duties, but the molding of character and minds should be controlled entirely by the mother and father. ou can employ some one to give | physical care to children,” Mrs. Wuburi said, “but the mental and spiritual side should be governed by the parents. The | molding of their children’s characters | should be left entirely to them. | “In view of the fac. that the problems | of taday are greater then they were a| generation ago the responsibilities of the adults as the trainers of future generations are also greater. I cannot understand how any parent can turn over. such an important matter as the | fil:xmm' of a child’s mind fo any one | else.” Mrs. Wilbur is not only deeply ln-! terested in educstion and the welfare of young people, but she aiso | astute student of international affairs, intelligent person to give thought to these. 8he has taken sn active interest in the development of the Institute of Pacific Reiations, of which Secretary dent at the most recent election.

PUBLISHERS Printers’ Move Is “Without Justification,” A. N. P, A. Members Hold. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, April 27.—Members of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association, who were here this week for the annual meetings of that organi- zation and the Associated Press. left for their homes last night, after the final session vesterday. The five-day week plan urged by cer- tain printing trades unions was con- demned by the American New Publishers” Assoclation delegates, termed it “without economic justifica- tion.” The publishers were asked to refer all demands for the five-day week to the next year's convention. 8. E. Thomason, paper committee chairman, announced that he would not accept reappointment or serve on any committee of the association dealing with news print. An expected attack on Mr. Thomason and the paper committee at the con- vention did not materialize, and instead the pubiishers adopted a resolution ap- proving the commitee’s activities and giving it a vote of confidence. Mr. Thomason had been criticized be- cause of his connection with the Chi- cago Journal, a publication in which the International Paper Co. holds an in- terest. A resolution condemning the Interna- | tional Co. for. buying newspaper inter- ests was tabled by the convention with- out & vote Thursday.

Motor Cycle Policeman D. F. Gam-i more of the second precinct picked up the machine at Eighth and P streeis about 2:30 this morning and followed a zigzag course east on P street to Fourth street. The chase continued at a 70: mile-an-hour clip, the rum car blowini a siren all the time and throwing out | smoke from the exhaust. Gallimore said the smoke was too much for him by the time they had reached Stanton Park northeast and he abandoned the chase. At this point Motor Cycle Policemen R. V. Sinclair and A. E. Brown of the Traffic Bureau took up the pursuit. The policemen followed behind the smoke | wit] down Massachusetts avenue past Unlon Station to New Jersey avenus, where the liquor car swerved to the right ana raced up New Jersey avenue to P street, where they were forced to give up the chase because of the biinding smoke screen. The chase taken up by Policeman C. P. Cunningham of the twelfth precinct was of short duration when the police- man started in pursuit of a machine he sald was heavily laden, at Eastern and Rhode Island avenues northeast, which he followed only one block. Cunningham said the rum car threw « smoke screen so effectively he could not see his hand in front of him and it was too dangerous to attempt to run through at the Tate of speed the car was travel- ing. A letter thanking Representative Holaday was sent to the Representative today by Sergt. Milton D. Smith, presi- dent of the Policemen's Assoclation. The letter expresses the apprecia- tion of the aseociation to Mr. Holaday and the other members of Congress %ho sought to justify in the debate yester- day the killing of Flem!ng. The Jetter follows: “May I express by appreciation to vou and through you to the honorablé mem- bers of the Congress who have so hon- orably defended the officer who in carrying out the mandate of the Con gress was unfortunate in killing the flee- Ing felon just a few days ago. “It has been seldom in the last few years that anl;: member of Congress has stood up on the floor and spoken a good | word for the policemen of this city, and it comes as a fresh Summer breeze to read where there are still members of the Congress who speak the truth and talk from their heerts, rather than for ‘home censumption.’ I know as we!l as every other officer that has come in contact with the Congress that many members must talk along certain lines to please the ‘folks back home,’ but your speéch and others like yours will do more toward helping maintain law and order than a hundred like others I have read. The policemen of Wash- ington want to enforce the law prop- erly and do not engage in so-called reckless shooting. and I don't care what the papers say, the average Washing- ton policeman many times refrains from shooting even at the risk of his life. MOSCOW CUTS VOTERS. MOSCOW (#)—More than 57000 Muscovites were deprived of the right to vote by action of the Moscow Muni- | eipal Council this year. This was 6,000 more than in the previous year. Heading the list of disfranchised were 19,422 private traders and their 19.070 dependents. More than 13,000 other persons whose income was not |derived from manual labor were next | and then came 8,600 who were accused of exploiting labor for personal gain.

By the Associated Press. flood control program has progressed to of the lower Mississippi River Valley being subjected to a devastating flood this year desplte the steadily rising waters farther north. Members of Congress from the States lald waste in 1927 by flood concur in this view. On the upper half of the river a more difficult problem is presented, but the engineers expect an early recession from the present flood level without great additional damage. ‘The levees on the main stream in the lower valley have been rebuilt or strengthened during the first year of the new eontrol program, the engineers said, so that it will take higher flood levels than those of 1927 to open crevasses in the protective walls. Fleodway Work Not Started. Work has not yet been started on the because of legal proceedings necessary for the Government to acquire land needed for the projects, but the crevasses left by the 1927 flood have been repaired and none of the levees where breaks occurred is belleved in danger, At Knowlton's Landing, Ark, the levee has been threatened by the strong | rise, but it was not broken and is now | reported out of danger. At Mound's | Landing levee, in Mississlppi. where the | waters poured through two years ago to | inundate the City of Greenville, com- | plete repairs have been made and the levee is said to be in better condition than at that time.

The situation in Iliinois and Ken- tucky, where the flood is now raging. is viewed as extremely serious by Repre- sentative Rainey of Illinois, and Repre- | sentative Gregory of Kentucky. Mr. | Rainey believes that. while the upper | Mississippl River levees on the Tilinois side of the river bank are giving way, | those on the Illinois River will hold. The Army engineers are blamed by | Mr. Qregory for present conditions in | Western Kentucky, where he contends | that strengthening of levees on the | Mississippi bank “had raised the flood i plane two feet on the Kentucky side.” Revresentative Driver of Arkansas has found the only bad situation in his State at Laconia Circle, where a locally- | built levee has broken. He believes the | others will hold uniess heavy rains and storms raise the water to extremely high levels.

Both replied in the nega- ive, and Robinson then asked them why they had abandoned the principles they advocated last year.
