Responding to an invitation to afl- iate with the Interfederation Confer- ence, W. F. Mulligan, spokesman for one of the two organizations which had been asked to join, last night frankly discussed before a dinner meeting of | the conference in the Gordon Hotel conditions which he claimed are handi- capping all efforts at county-wide civic work in Prince Georges. These handicaps, as enumerated by Mr. Mulligan, include apathy, jealousy between different, communities and op- position to all suggestions coming from outside somces, The conditions set forth by Mr. Mul- ligan led to several methods of im- provement being proposed, including the organizing of a representative ecivic body within the limits of the metropoli- tan area and the fusion of the various factions in united opposition to some objectionable proposal. Progressive Moves Cited. The incentive given the civic federa- tion movement in Montgomery County by the fight against the proposed belt- line railroad and in Arlington county by the proposed abattolr was cited in this connection, “Prince Georges County needs the conference more than the conference needs Prince Georges,” he told the meeting. The organization and functions of the Prince Georges Counly Community Council, which Mr. Mulligan represent- ed, w explained by him. The council meets but twice a year, and it was the consensus of opinion that this was not often enough to effectively handle cur- rent civic problems. Mr. Mulligan him- self suggested the council should meet laws might be altered so as to provide for the additional meetings. It was finally decided to have Mr. Mulligan report to the conference at a later meeting the final decision of the organization he represented as to affli- ation with the conference. W. B. Armstrong, secretary of the conference, reported that the Prince Georges County Federation of Citizens’ Associations, which had also been in- vited to send a representative to last night's meeting, had failed to acknowl- cdge the invitation. 2. G. Campbell, Arlington County delegate to the conference, was instruct- ed to learn the sentiment of the Alex- andria and Fairfax County Chambers of Commerce in regard to sending dele- gates to the conference. Co-ordination Sought. The recently appointed publicity com- mittee of the conference, which is ar- ranging & non-commercial advertising campaign depicting Washington as the | ideal residential city, was last night ad. vised to inaugurate its efforts by learn- | ing what the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade and other similar or- ganizations are doing along the same line, with & view to co-ordinating the work and secure as wide a measure of success as possible. Having gone on record in favor of the Cramton bili for park development, the conference, in a letter to Representa- tive R. N. Elliot, chairman of the com- mittee on public buildings and grounds, expressed the opinion that “the bill is one of the most important steps ever se- | riously proposed in the development of the National Capita! and one which should receive the prompt and favorable action of Congres | The attention of the conference hav- | Harr WEL FOL , here’s some that hop back and forth across the Atlantic, but this time with a new flavor.
