CHEST IS BLESSING, DECLARES LEONARD Jewish Speaker Tells Benefit| In.Wiping Out Group Lines " In Service for All. Cerlainty &nd continuity of servicé makes the Community Chest much more than a mere charity, Oscar Leo- natd, executive director of the Jewish Wditare _Feleration, told the congres gation Talmud Torah B'nal Israel last night m Leonard declared the Chest had &x:p\-e'd a hiessing to the people of ashington, particularly the Jews. He chamacterized it as a civic movement which helps men, women and children in ways more significant than the mere giving of food and shelter, important as’ they are. “For our own people,” the speaker gald, “it means & great deal to be in this' fine partnership. In civic and philanthropic work it is best to wipe out group lines. In doing a job together we fome to know- one another better and to respect one another. The Com- munity Chest makes for better under- standing not only of the problems of Jew and non-Jew, but of the personal- ities of these groups. Thus respect is deteloped, and with it closer co-oper- atfon. Favored by Jewish Sages. “The Jewish sages have always fa- yored the Chest sages. We must, there- fore, do all we can toward better sup- ort of the Community Chest, which ast vear allotted more than $150,000 to our Jewish social service work. “Let us all do better than we ever did belore because the need is so much gréater. We must remember that the mdn who lost money in business is not as;mdly off as the man who lost & job, for ‘the man who loses a job nothing left in the way of resources.” Contributions by persons _thousands of miles away yesterday enabled the fuhd of the special gifts committee of the Chest to soar to $604.035.93. Seventy-four pledgn were reported for & total of $74,565.93. Newbold Noves, chairman, announced a ;total of 468 donations had been re- celved. He explained approximately that many additional persons and com- des had been assigned to the unit. @ urged the solicitors to insist on sub- sciiptions from them in order that the . goal of $1,000,000 set for the commit- ted might be reached by noon Monday. Mr. Noyes revealed Arthur Bliss Lane, Ambassa Mexico, had increased his~donation ~from $600 last year to $1;000, while-Irwin Laughlin, Ambassa- dor to Spain, had advanced his gift| from $1,000 to $1,500.

CRISP TO DISCUSS | HOUSE RULES ON AIR Forum Speaker for Revision So, Committee May Not Strangle Legislation Desired by Majority. | FETNTITT Y | The need for revision of the House | rules—which, it is charged, give to0 much power to the Rules Committee and permit strangling of legisiation ap- proved by a majority of the members— will be cutlined tonight by Representa- | tive Charles R. Crisp of Georgia in the National Radio Forum, arranged by | The Washington Star and broadcast | over a Nationwide network of the Co- | lJumbia Broadcasting Co. His address | will be heard locally over station | WMAL. Representative Crisp, a leader in the fight to amend the rules, has been a member of the House for 16 years. Prior to his election to that body, while the | late Champ Clark was Speaker of the | House, he acted as parliamentarian. | While there have been many attempts to liberalize the House rules, ane of the strongest occurred in 1910, wWhen an effort was made to overthrow the power of the Speaker, when “Uncle Joe” Can- non, termed the “Czar,” held that of- fice. The rules were amended, with the result that much of the control was taken from the Speaker and placed in the hands of the Rules Committee. The | present complaint is that the commit- | tee has become too autocratic. Representative Crisp will go on the air at 9:30 pm. : WOMEN TO HOLD FORUM WEEKLY DURING YEAR District of Columbia Branch of Na- tional Party Arranges Program of 1931 Activities.

O, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1931, PREMIER OF FILM Official, Diplomatic, Society and Press Circles at Show- ing of “Cimarron.” sputtering of kleig lights official and diplomatic Washington last night thronged into Keith's Theater to wit- ness the premiere showing of “Cimar- ron,” the R-K-O screen talking version of Edna Ferber's novel of the bullding of the Bouthwest. Besides Vice President Curtis and his sister, Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, who headed the official list of guests, the audience included Secretary of War Hurley, the Speaker of the House and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Ambassador Tellez of Mexico and the Ambassadors of Brazil and Argentina. There also were the diplomatic representatives from nearly half of the nations represented in Washington, 45 Senators, half the members of the House, representatives. of the judiclary and ranking Army and Navy officers. McClintic Makes Talk. Representative James T. McClintic of Oklahoma spoke briefly and presented Floyd Gibbons, the staccato-speaking newspaper correspondent of World War and, more recently, radio fame, who presided as master of ceremonies. Mr. Gibbons introduced Richard Dix, player of Yancey in Edna Ferber's noval “Cimarron,” and Miss Estelle Taylor, wife of Jack Dempsey, a featured mem- ber of the cast. Both Dix and Miss Taylor addressed the audience for a few minutes. Wesley Ruggles, director of the picture, also was presented. “Cimarron” in motion picture form is a faithful picturization of Miss Fer- ber's work. The little editing which ‘was noted in the picture version, though unimportant with respect to the whole work, makes even more acceptable for the theater, it seemed last night, the faithfully written history of the de- velopment of the west. Deals With Oklahoma. ‘The story deals with the building of Oklahoma from the land rush of 1883 and the fubsequent staking of the fa- mous “Cherokee Strip” in 1893. It por- trays the history of the territory until it became a State, concluding with a presentation of Oklahoma as it is today. Through the history is woven the ro- mance of “Yancey,” the adventurous rover-husband of the woman who car- ried on alone to become, in the novel, that State’s first woman member of Congress. Following the official pre-premier, a second showing was given for the Na- tional Press Club. Getting away to a late start by virtue of delay occasioned in the opening of the first presentation, the Press Club showing was not con- cluded until nearly 2:30 o'clock this morning.

By the Associated Press PARIS, January 24.—President Dou- mergue today telegraphed to Aristide Briand at Geneva offering him the pre- miership of France. Political experts had expected this de- velopment since the fall of the Steeg cabinet on Thursday, but there was a general belief that Briand would de- ciine the task of forming a new cab- | inet if he were asked to do so. He has refused the past three times in the past 18 months, in the belief that he is more valuable to the nation as foreign minister, continuing his task of building & permanent peace for Europe.

Mr. Crowell and six other Wa | partment officials were indicted in 1922 as a result of the Graham war fraud | inquiry in the House and were charged with fraud upon the Government in connection with contracts for construc- | tion of Army cantonments. | The cases never came to trial. Asso- | ciate Justice Hoehling of the District | Supreme Court threw them out after the indictment was demurred to with a denunciation from the bench directed at the Government.

TREES. OFFERED 10 SCREEN SIGNS Maryland Forestry Office to Co-operate With Civie Organizations. Star’s Billboard Signs Removed ‘That The Evening and Sunday Star may do its full share in cleaning up unsightliness caused by billboards on the approaches to Washington, it has removed, or s causing the removal, of all of its 66 small signs along the highways in the District of Co- lumbia, Maryland and Virginia. Fifty-two signs already are down and 14 remaining will be re- | | moved within the next few days. An offer to furnish trees, for demon- | stration planting along the highways of Maryland, which might serve as screens | for billboards and unsightly dumps, has been made to civic groups by the State Department of Forestry at Baltimore. These trees will be furnished garden clubs and other organizations at the | College Park nursery, on the Washing- | ton-Baltimore boulcvard. The _types available include white and green ash, | tulip poplar, honey locust, Oriental plane, sweet gum and cyprus. Many of the garden clubs in Mary- land are planning to do extensive road- side planting this Winter and Spring in connection ‘with campaigns in their communities to get the permission of abutting property owners for zoning stretches of roadside. This is the only practical method, State Forester F. W. Besley believes, of screening billboards and other forms of roadside nuisances which cannot be removed. Approximately five miles of State highways were planted with trees in this manner last year. Members of the garden clubs and various civic organizations are also ar- ranging, in various communities, to clean up all the illegal advertising signs that are plastered indiscriminately aver barns Ifls other structures. To accom- plish this it is necessary to obtain per- mission for their removal from the owner of the property on which they are located. In most cases these signs have long since ceased to pay rentals and many were put up without per- mission of property owners. Hogs Are Fed on Wheat.
