DOLEFORDISTRICTS GED 1S PROPLSED -/Dickstein. Bill Would Provide Pay for Elderly, Helpless Residents of Capital. Representative Dickstein of New York yesterday introduced in the House a il providing for payment to aged and helpless people in the District who have reached the age of 70 years and who have no children or persons to provide t.o:. ;.gem a dole by the Public Welfare In .explaining this measure, Repre- sentative Dickstein said: “The only ce that we have for persons of that d is the poor house and it is about time that this great country of ours would give a little thought and con- sideration to the protection of old age, | and instead of sending them to a poor house homes should be made by making allowances to them go that they may care for themselves and live for the balance of the time that God has given them with some independence. “Although the money is supplied them by the Government which they have always striven to protect and honor during their capability, either in industry, war or peace, nevertheless it is something that would not make them look as a beggar or have to wait to be taken in a wagon to some decrepid poor house. “The Owgress of the United States which controls the destiny of the Dis- trict of Columbia should make a little headway in the passage of this bill, as I am sure people do not take advantage of old age refuge unless necessary, In this way the District of Columbia, in- stead of having to build poor houses, ‘would lessen this burden and at the same time secure citizens from the fate of the pauper’s grave and pauper's e. “Let the Congress set a good example for the States of the Union to adopt similar proposals, which is a step in the right direction to protect old age in its greatest time of need.” SPECIAL NOTICES.

Critics cf the new Power Commission claimed enough votes today to request President Hoover to return the nomi- nations of three of its members, as Sen- ator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader of the Senate, joined the recall movement. . Robinson said the -dismissal of | Charles A. Russell and William V. King, the commission's employes, which resulted in the demands for reconsid- eration of the nominations of Chair- man Smith and Commissioners Draper and Garsaud, was “an act of gross in- Justice.” He declared no cne in the Senate had Democrat, Montana, that the employes were disi for “performing their duties.” Administration leaders admitted the vote to request the President to return the nominations would be close. Leading opposition to the recall, Sena- tor Goff told the Senate the appointees ! cannot be removed except by the Presi- | dent or_congressional impeachment.

NEW YORK, January 7.—President Hoover refuses to believe that America is riding to the poorhouse in the 3,500,000 automobiles she purchased last year. Speaking by telephone from Wash- ington last night, he addressed the Na- tional Automobile Chamber of Com- merce, as follows: “I am informed that if I were speak- ing to every person whose livelihood is directly or indirectly dependent upon the industry I should be speaking to 1 person in every 10 of the people of our country.. Therefore the prosperity of the industry is the anxious thought of the Nation, and everybody wishes yeu well in your plans to expand the manufacture and use of your product. Despondency Not Justified. “The despéndency of some people over the future is not borne out by the statistical evidence of prospects in re- spect to the automobile industry.” I am informed by the Department of Com- merce that, despite the depression, you have manufactured and sold during the year 1930 over 3,500,000 new automo- biles You have also disposed of large inventories of a year ago. Hundreds of miles of new roads are being constructed every day in the world, and these in | creasing ‘miles must be equipped with more automobiles. Altogether the future for the industry does not warrant any despondency. “No one needs to recall the utility and importance of the automobile in our national life. I have often won- dered, however, if part of its popularity was not due to the exhilarating sense of power that we all inhale through the mastery over time and space we gain from it. It brings a sense of freedom .that makes our spirit rise even though it sometimes invites for some people the depressing ministrations of a motor cycle policeman. “I wish you success in your meeting and in the organization plan which you put forward for the new year. Every automobile and truck which you make and sell adds to employment in a hun- dred different trades. Yours is indeed a great and vital industry, the success of which is important to every one of us. I sincerely wish you a prosperous new year.” Julius H. Barnes, chairman of the board of the United States Chamber of Commerce, made an address in which he said that business and gov- ernment. together must restore economic security and allay public anxlety, Mutually Dependent. “Business and government become in- terlaced and mutually dependent as| never before,” he said, “and must un- derstand and appraise the delicacy of i the fabric and the potency of the forces which may sustain or rend it. “Public welfare requires that both forces of leadership shall devotedly seek today to set in motion all the in- fluences which tend to renew and ex- pand the operation of employing indus- try, and today the chief need toward that end runs to such measures as will allay individual anxiety and uncertainty as to assured employment and as to the attitude of government toward the investment of effort and capital in industry.” Features of Exhibits.

(HOOVER OPTIMISTIC |GITIZEN BODY JOINS| OVER AUTO QUTPUTIN BILLBOARD WAR| Removal of Unsightly Signs Asked by Devonshire Downs Association. A resolution indorsing the campais of the American Civic Association for the removal of unsightly signboards from roadways leading into Washing- ton was adopted last night by the Dev- onshire Downs Citizens’ Association. Action was taken on motion of J. B. Dickman, jr. Complaint also was registered by the Committee on Streets against the flow of water issulng from the Bureau of Standards, wh.ch is allowed to run unguided' down Van Ness street and onto Connecticut avenue. This creates an unsightly and hazardous condi- tion, it was said, as the water on cold days forms into sheets of ice and makes automobile and pedestrian travel dan- gerous at this point. More Guards at Jail Demanded. Additional guards for the District Jail were urged in a resolution adopted by the association. In a communica- tion received by the association, it was stated that the guards are now com- pelled to work seven days a week for $1,500 a year, with no provision or com- pensation for much overtime necessi- ted when serious situations arise or when executions are in order. The guards also have to furnish their uni- Dr. J. W. Aldrich, chairman of the Committee on Streets nd Alleys, who presented the resolu- tion, urged employment of four addi- tional guards to permit a six-day week tor all guards. New School Considered. J. W. McGarry, representative of the Cathedral Heights-Cleveland Park Citi- zens' Association, exhibited a blue print showing the location of a new school and playgrounds proposed at Thirty~ seventh and Tilden streets. A joint committee from Richmond Park, Cathe- cral Heights and Devonshire Downs is endeavoring to have provision made for an assembly hall and gymnasium in connection with the proposed school, which, it was said, is to be of eight rooms. Mrs. M. Z. Baughman of the Schools Committee was _instructed to co-operate with the joint committee and report at the next meeting for the action of the association. Harry N. Stull, delegate to the Fed- eration of Citizens' Associations from the Stanton Park Association, ad- dressed the meeting briefly, outlining the advantages of membership in civic organizations and condemning the fea- tures of the old Borland law with re- spect to assessment for street resur- facing. Speaks for Community Chest. Joseph D. Kaufman, representative of the Community Chest, made a pica for support of the forthcoming drive of the Chest. He said there was high hope for success because reports from all sections of the country indicate that Chest drives are averaging 9 per cent oversubscriptions, ‘The association’s requests for change of bus stop and erection of shelter at Connecticut avenue and Van Ness street and changing the car stop on Connecticut avenue for southbound cars from the south to the north side of Van Ness street, were denied. It was voted to urge the removal of the bus stop from alongside the car stop in front of the Bureau of Standards. President A. J. Barrett appointed Z. A. Jones. P. H. Willis, Maj. H. T. Jones, Mr. Mack and Mrs. Baughman as a committee to consider changing the name of the association and to report at the next mecting. John S. Grant, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Hughes, H. W, Leese and R. Albert were elected to membership. DEMOCRATS ASSAIL HOOVER ON MERGER President Said to Have Embar- rassed I. C.

Delano, states that a good many of his associates regard the pro- ting with suspicion. Accor cerity of the advertising .roug'nnd they suspect that the purpose of the meeéting | is to lead them -into a trap, or to arrive ata compromise on some subjects which cannot be compromised. The peopie who have a large financial interest in outdoor advertising are naturally keen- ly alive to gaining all they can. The people on the other side are mostly peo- ple who have given their services, as they believe; for the public good.’ The which have been made against the atrocities of the billboards through restrictive legislation have been, in almost every instance, fought by the billboard companies or asso- clations. Mr. Delano declares that the out- door advertising people have made themselves a nuisance. “‘Not so many years ago,’ he said, ‘they were advertising with signs of prodigious size on the Palisades of the Hudson; within a very few years one of the great tomobile companies placed an illuminated sign on the top of a tower very close to the gilded dome of the a‘piw in Boston. They had the audacity and the indecency to try to compete with the ‘Sacred Cod,’ which has long adorned the top of that dome. It made the people in Boston, even those who never given the sub- ject of outdoor advertising any thought, mad: clear through.’ Within a few years the District of Columbia Com- missioners caused to be taken down, under protest, a big illuminated sign on Pennsylvania avenue which filled the foreground of the Avenue view of the national Capitol. Certainly the people of Washington and of the coun- try would be justly indignant if a billboard were permitted to compete with the towers and pinnacles of the very beautiful National Cathedral which crowns the eminence of Massa- chusetts avenue. From every point of view the policy of the outdoor ld\'e‘- tising people has been unintelligent, inconsiderate and, to use a shorter and uglier phrase, hoggish.’ “At the present time the Amerigan Civic Association is co-operating with The Evening Star in a campaigh to ‘clean up’_the mxhny entrances to Washingtofi before 1932.” SPONSORS ISSUE STATEMENT. Declare Billboard Conference Follows | Four-Year Study. In connection with the conference to- | morrow on “roadside business and rural beauty,” which will convene under the chairmanship of former Senator George Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania, a statement was issued today by the two sponsors- of the meeting. “Realizing some four years ago that they had much in common by virtue of the nature of their occupations, the National Association of Real Estate Boards and the Outdoor Advertising As- sociation of America appointed laision committees to evolve, if possible, a com- mon policy,” the statement said. “The conference will be the clumina- tion of four years of patient planning and study and has been called for the purpose of formulating policies for the promotion of harmony between com- merce and beauty in rural areas and the drafting of model Ilegislation for recommendation to the several States.” KIWANIS TO INSTALL ‘The Washington Kiwanis Club will install its recently elected officers at a luncheon in the Washington Hotel to- morrow afternocn at 12:30 o'clock.
