THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO he Swundhwy Shed D. , JUNE 2, 1929—-P¢FA_§T 1—SECTION 2. COLUMBIA FORUM VOTED ADMITTANCE 10 FEDERATION 'd\pplication for Membership |F Has Been Pending Since |! December 1, 1928. T | FORUM FOUNDED AFTER { ¢ ELECTION FLARE-UP Opposition Argued Against Double | Representation From Single Territory. The Federation of Citizens’ Associ- ations, after two hours of acrimonious debate, last night admitted to member- ship the Citizens' Forum of Columbia Heights. The application for admission has been pending since December 1, 1928, and has been a subject for for- ensic skirmishes at almost all of the meetings since that time. The new association, with boundaries almost identical with those of the Columbia Heights _ Citizens’. Association, was formed after a flare-up over the elec- tion of Clinton Hiatt as president of 2}{1!‘ latter. It now has a membership of 142. . The arguments in favor of admjtting the association were that any group which conformed’ to the requirements for admission as set out in the federa- tion's constitution should.be admitted. Against this those who opposed admis- sion argued that it would be improper to have double fepresentaton from a single territory, that it would under- mine the federation's influence with Congress in case of conflicting recom- mendations from the associations. that larger northwest associations could split up into a sufficient number of small associations to drown out the voice of the eastern section of the city in federa- ton politics, and that it would be un- fair to the old association to admit the new one over its protest. Long Debate on Admittance. The committee on membership, re- porting through A. H. Gregory, Stanton Pa moved to refuse admittance. James G. Yaden. Petwor’s), moved as a substitute that the association be ad- | mitted. Then followed the long debate. | Among those who upheld the commit- tee’s report were Capt. G. L. Shorey, Piney Branch: W. B. Todd. Columbia Heights: Willlam A. Roberts. Conduit road; Capt. B. B. Bierer, Richmond Park: Clayton Emig, Dupont Circle: J. G. Gammell, Lincoln Park: D. H. Cole, ‘Washington Highlands, and Harry N. Stull, Stanton Park. Those who supported the Yaden motion included William McK. Clayton, Brightwood: Mrs. Etta Taggart, Pro- gressive Citizens of Georgetown; B. A. Bowles, Georgetown; Lewis Gelbman, Congress Heights: and Mrs. May D. Lightfoot. William G. Henderson, North Capitol, said he would vote as his conscience dictated. He later voted to, exclude. Yaden Motion Carried. Mr. Yaden's motion finally carried by a vote of 27 to 24. A committee of five was appointed to assist the Trinidad Citizens’ Associa- tion in its fight against benefit assess- ments in its territory for the widening of Benning Road. The association con- tends the improvement is city-wide in scope and should be paid for entirely out of general revenues. Willlam McK. Clayton was made chairman of the committee. Other members appointed ' were: Thomas E. Lodge, American University Park; Mr. stull, Thomas J. Llewelyn, chairman of the highways committee; and E. B. Henderson, Piney Branch, . H ‘The federation approved a resolution | from the highways committee favoring improvement of South Dakota avenue from Riggs road to Twentieth street northeast. and another opposing sell- ing District water to Maryland resi- dents at any discount under the rate paid in the District. ‘The federation voted to send a let- ter of condolence to the family of the Jate Carey Hodgson, a former dele- gate, who was drowned with his son in a canoe accident. A resolution of regret that George Ricker, another for- mer delegate, is leaving the city was| also adopted. I The federation has no further regu- | Jar meetings until the first Saturday | in September. | .

BLOSSOMS T0 GIVE TOUCHING STORY OF WAR'S AFTERMATH Walter Reed Garden, One of Finest in U. S., to Have Ex- hibit at Flower Show. BARES ACHIEVEMENT. OF BRIG. GEN. GLENNAN Collection From All Parts of World Gives Convalescents Contrast to Drab Battlefield. A great physiclan's vision of the therapy of beauty is reaching its fruitition at Walter Reed Hospital. One of the most striking exhibits at the annual flower show of the Ameri- can Horticultural Society at the Wil- lard Hotel Friday and Saturday will consist of blooms gathered by conva- lescent veterans from one of the finest gardens in the United States. In the background of this mass effect of roses and perennials, lies a touching idyl of the World War and its aftermath. Brig. Gen. James D. Glennan came to Walter Reed when the great Army hospital was receiving a constant stream of the human wreckage from French battlefields. It was a dreary place in those days with its hurriedly constructed temporary wards and its barren fields. There was no_escape from the odor of anesthetics, the con- stant procession of olive-drab uniforms and the ever-recurring spectacle of sickness and despair. Medicine and BOARD PLANNING 10 SPEED UP WORK ONDEGREE PERMITS, Confronted With Task of Licensing Collegés by End of School Year. THREE INSTITUTIONS GRANTED LICENSES — Two Failed to Receive Authority to Grant Higher Degrees Requested. Confronted with the task of licensing degree-granting institutions before the coming commencement exercises are held so that degrees conferred at the end of the current school year will b2 issued under the license required by the recently enacted diploma-mill law, the Board of Education proposes to sit at every opportunity this week to pass upon applications for licenses. At the first license-granting meeting of the board held in executive session last Friday, three institutions were granted licenses, although two of them failed to receive nuthm‘ll{ntfl the higher degrees for which they had applied, it was learned yesterday. ‘The Columbus University, operated by the Knights of Columbus, was licensed fo confer the degree of bachelor of laws. The board failed to act at that session upon that school’s application for a license to grant the degree of master of laws. The higher degree was not re- fused, but the board withheld action pending more complete study of the surgery were doing their best in this atmosphere of struggle and pain. Gen. Glennan felt the need of something more—of the mental healing power of nature which works miracles transcend- ing the skill of medical man. Lover of Nature. All his life the veteran soldier had been a lover of nature. During the busy career of an Army surgeon, mov- ing from post to post, he had found scant opportunity to gratify this yearn- ing. At Walter Reed came his oppor- tunity and his vision. He resolved to create here a spot of ideal beauty, & place of cool shadows and showers of falling petals which would be the anti- thesis of .the drab ugliness of battle- fleld and cantonment from which the men had emerged. He pictured a place Into which the noises and worries of workaday life never would intrude, a garden symbolic of peace. Gen. Glennan, according to his asso- clates at Walter Reed, not only was a student of the human body, but of the mind of the soldier. He recognized the value of suggestion and of mental calm in -accomplishing cures, So the garden he projected was intended only secondarfly: as an- ornament for. a mili- tary t. It had a definite therapeutic objeet. “The: atmosphere of beauty would tend to make life more worth living to pain-wracked: bodies.- It would restore despairing mind to the communion of nature, The care of growing things would provide a temporary interest in life to ‘take the minds of the men off their troubles. So he’ began collecting shrubs and flowers from all over the world. There were many ‘*donations from - flower breeders and from persons interested in the welfare of the wounded soldiers. M. Pernet, considered the greatest of mod- ern rose breeders, sent from Paris a complete_collection of his creations in memory of his two sons who had died in the Prench service. Experts of the Department of Agriculture provided the design of the garden. Gen Glennan pondered over 'flower catalogues from many iands. Death €loses Vision. radually his ‘vidlon beghn to take &hspe. But in the midst of its fruition Gen. Glennan died. There is a monu- ment to_his memos great natural rock with a brass plague on it—in the center of the garden where on windy June mornings showers of white rose petals fall upon it. His successor has Parried on the work and this month workmen are building the last section rden. o‘lt!h'ls‘.rww in its greatest flush of with :le:e“ "l);.lchunu,g orange and yellow blan- owers, clove pinks, Ted mullen :\'l:'k.!,fl corn flowers, veronica and digi- talis in the perennial section, rare Alpine blossoms covering natural reck banks, thousundxr of ‘lfluleh lg:neye.l&’;‘w inning to fade in the o i S ‘bors of roses. The rose display is especially notable at this time, particularly the large masses of red, pink and white polyanthus roses growing about & foot high and appear- ing like thick suspended mats of color. These will form a considerable part of the Walter Reed exhibit. There also are dozens of varieties of hybrid per- petual and hybrid tea roses now in full ‘blossom. The garden is in a natural ‘Thollow, and this has been accentuated by the design so that it seems completely shut off from the rest of she hospital estab- lishment, like the garden of a great country estate. It is at its best on moonlit June evenings, when an aura of romance hangs over it and there is an atmosphere of unworldly beauty. This was the jdeal of Gen Glennan’s vision of the therapy of beauty. Succession of Blossoms. The garden is so planned that there will be a constant succession of blos- soms from early Spring until late Fall when the killing frosts nip the last of the chrysanthemums. Expert garden- ers are in charge of the work, but much of the effort is provided volun- tarily by the veterans, doctors ‘and nurses. There are visitors from all parts of the country. X Besides the garden, Gen. Glennan gathered on the Walter Reéd'gtounds a large collection of rare flowering shrubs from all of ‘the " world which have been acclimated and which are labeled so that they constitute one of the best botanical collections in. this part of the country. Constant addi- tlons are being made of raye specimens from the Department of Agriculture. Special efforts have been made by the gardeners to bring flowers into bloom for the horticultural exhibit. Peonies in particular are being nursed along to have them at their finest to enter the competition of the American Peony Soclety, which is holding its an- nual exhibit in conjunction with that of the American Horticultural Soclety. i 1] 1 i Candidate for House.

A license to confer ths degrees of bachelor of arts and that of bachelor of sciences, petition for which appeared in the Y. M. C. A. College's formal application, was not allowed. In the case of the arts and sciences degrees, the Y. M. C.

The application (o{m_ was returned to the school for rewriting. In its considerations Friday Board of Education attempted ‘to act] imediately upon the applicatiops of the institutions whose scheduled conferring of degrees at this month’s commence- ment exercises may be affected by the board's decision. According, to. the board’s interpretation of the law, de- grees may be conferred this year only under the license as provided for in the law, even though the.candidates, for those degrees may have completed practically all of the required work be- fore the law became effective. Hence, if a school is refused a license to grant a degree, its students, who may have un- dertaken to prepare for that .degree three or four years ago, cannot receive a degree from that school, even though only two months of the required work was completed since the law was en- acted. WILL CONSTRUCT NEW ROAD LINK Highway Connecting Massa- chusetts Avenue and Zoo to Be Built Soon. The office of public buildings and public parks is getting ready to com- plete another road link in the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, starting July 1, when additional funds become avallable. The new section lies be- tween Massachusetts avenue and the | Zoological Park. Part of this road was constructed last year and the connection will be completed this com- ing fiscal year, so that it will then be possible to drive from the northern end of the park at the District Line{ near Silver Spring, Md., dowh to Massa- chusetts avenue. 3 ‘This section 1o be built will connect with the existing road in the Zoologi- cal Park, which is under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution, but | eventually, it is felt that the office of public bulldings and public parks will have to construct a separate road through the Zoo. ‘The animals in the Zoo present a problem, as it is feared that their rest will be disturbed by motorists of the future who will travel at night down the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway when that park traffic artery is com- pleted within the next few years. ‘When the constructicn of the road in Rock Creek Park, south of Massachu- etts avenue, is started, when appropri- ations become available, a great amount of excavation will have to be under- taken in order to have a road properly protected from landslides. The new M. Street nnnf, now being constructed, is being so bullt that an adequate unh- derpath in the park can be bullt, as the bridge abutment is being moved farther west. It is planned to have & connection with the park road at the southern end of Florida avenue. ‘While there is a sentiment to have the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway completed by 1932 for the George ‘Washington Bicentennial Exposition to link up the completed Arlington Me- morial Bridge, the rate of progress de- | pends upon the appropriation that Con- gress makes available for the construc- tion of a highway skirting the famous Rock Creek. - 4 the| pavement This family of 6-week-old Cocker rapher yesterday at the home of Herbert A.

She had related that he drove past a prearranged meeting place, but refused to stop his automobile, and that this prompted her to turn her gun on herself. Two bullets entered her body and a third went wild. The man in question was not held. Operation Is Futile. The wounded woman was taken to George Washington University Hospital by. Harry Rector of 727 Gallatin street, who happened to be driving past a few moments after the shooting. An opera- tion was performed by Dr. Daniel L. Borden. Police were told the girl had drawn a small caliber revolver from her purse, wrapping the weapon in a newspaper to veil her intention, and then fired three times in quick succession. The last shot failed to find its mark as the woman faltered and sank to the it. - Relatives Not Located. Police have not been able to locate any relatives of the dead woman, and at first they experienced difficulty in establishing her identity. She gave officers several conflicting names and addresses. Probing further into the girl's story it was learned she had occupied an apart- ment where A. R. Segal, a George ‘Washington University law student, now lives. She left about six months ago, Segal said. He admitted that the gun was his own, however, but said it was taken from his trunk without his knowledge. PROSTRATED BY HEAT.

Munitz, who is at liberty on $5,000 bond awaiting trial in Prince Georges County on a charge of participating in the assault on Dietz, was charged last night with sale and possession of liquor, conspiracy to violate the prohi- bition law and maintaining a nuisance. His bond was set at $3,500. Among the four arrested also was Isaac Deyhu, who was taken by the Prince Georges police in the Ram’s Horn Inn several hours before the shooting last Monday morning.
