. LAWMAKERS URGED! T0 ATTACK FAIRLY Congressional Immunity Bars Retaliation by Persons Hit, Citizens Say. Contending that from time to time members of Congress publicly have as- sailed officials of the District govern- ment and private citizens, often basing their accusations and assassinations cf character upon mere hearsay evidence, the Georgetown Citizens' Association, meeting at the Potomac Savings Bank, | Wisconsin avenue and M street, .last night went on record deploring such ac- tion on the part of members of Con- and called upon them to exercise g:’:splm of fairness and justice, in | speech and debate, that reasonably ‘might be expected of those in ; he ex- alted positions of representatives of a !free people. In adopting the resolution, the asso- elation pointed out that oftentimes the ns assailed by Congress are gravely ured in the eyes of their fellow cit- ijzens and are prevented by the im- munity of congressional members from presenting an adequate defense of their * good names. Favors Board Appointment. A resolution favoring the present | method of selecting the members of the Board of Education, voiced by A. K. Parris, was unanimously adopted. In presenting the resolution favoring the continued selection of the board mem- bers by the justices of the Supreme Court, Mr. Parris denouncad a resolu- tion adopted by the South Washington Citizens' Association which favored ihe bills of Senator Capper and Represent- ative Zihlman, providing for the elec- tion of the members ?‘( 1“19 Board of Education by popular choice. ‘Mr. Parris extolled the past efforts of the members of the Board of Education and concluded by saying that he felt the rgetown ~Citizens’ Association was entirely satisfled with its conduct. As & result of the resolution, it was determined to send coples of the motion to Senator Capper, Representative Zihl- man, the District Commissioners, the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, and the Southwest Citizens’ Association. ) ‘Vandalism is Assailed. It was also moved that vandalism and wanton destruction of shrubbery in Montrose Park be curbed by urging par- ents in Georgetown to caution their children against this damage to one of the section’s most beautiful spots. A motion condemning all night park- ing on ground that it is an imposi- tion on property holders, was referred to the traffic committee for further action. e Maj. Gen. W. M. Black, U. S. A, re- tired, one-time chief of Army Engi- neers, read a prepared brief on traction and parking conditions in general. At the next meeting of the associa- tion, the fourth Monday in November, officers for the Fall terms wil be elected. R iy e AMUSEMENTS NATIONAL—"Seven-Year Love.” Numerous flashes of genuine and | netrating wit _distinguish “Seven- | ear Love,” a new comedy by John D. Haggart, which opened at the National last night. ‘These constitute the saving grace of a rather awkward production, with little action or coherency. But the purple patches of cleverness deserve full recog- * wition in any estimate of this comedy ronstructed around a threadbare theme. #One might wish that they were distrib- uted better.
