CAMPAIGN ON ROAD! SIGNS 15 INDORSED Montgomery Civie Federatlon Supports Star’s Drive on Billboards. ‘The civic campaign for the removal of billboards and the beautification in other ways of the highways leading into the National Capital was “heartily indorsed” last night by the Montgomery County Civic Federation, which urged that the Montgomery members of the Maryland General Assembly sponsor legislation to secure the elimination of existing objectionable signs. The Federation also recommended stricter regulations or stricter enforce- ment of existing regulations regardng the location, maintenance and design of filling stations and refreshment stands; the planting and car: of frees and shrubs along arterial highways and otiver streets; landscaping of grounds of county build ngs, including schoo's; re- moval of trash from vacant lots and from along the roads, and the dumping of trash and the cleaning of streets in the business districts. Resolution Is Quoted. The action was in the nature of ap- val of a report of the Committee on ternal County Improvement. The resolution incorpora‘ted in the report stated “That the Montgomery County Civic Federation heartily indorses the campaign of The Washington Star for the total elimination of billboards on all approaches to the National Capital, and since it is apparent that addi Jegislation will be necessary to compel the early removal of these._billboards, not only in the Washington-Maryland metropolitan district, but in the whole ©of Montgomery County, therefore be it Resolved, first, That the members of the Legislature from Montgomery Sort %o sccure the mecess "“15.1;" fation o secure the ni ation therefor in the lfllm of the Maryland Legislature; and, Type of Bill Sought. “Second, That the Law and Legal Action Committee of the Montgomery County Civic Menuon be instructed to assist and advise in the preparation of the necessary bill, with the object that the legislation when enacted will not_only wcomrmh the desired pur- pose but also will stand the test of the ’l'he committee stat d as its opinion that the present zoning ordinance “admirably protects the metropolitan district of Montgomery County against the erection of additional lllnbol.rds and that without additional legislation the present signboards would eventually disappear, sinc> under existing statutes they can not be repaired without the eonunt of the district council.” report further ass'rts, however, tl-t “in ‘order to hasten the removal | of these eyesores, not only in the metropolitan district, but throughout the county, the committee beli-ves ad- ditional legislation will bs necessary.” NSy s CATSUP MANUFACTURER AND TURFMAN, 68, DIES By the Associated Press.

Gen. Smedley D. Butler, who has been reprimanded for remarks he made about Premier Mussolini. BY LIEUT. ARTHUR J. BURKS, U. S. M. C,, Resigned. Pormer Aide to Gen. Butler. There are some Sfficers in the Marine Corps who have served with Butler for years on end—simply because whenever he is transferred and gets settled he arranges for them to be transferred to his command. They are not his “pets” for he doesn’t have pets. They are not pam- pered or given special frlvilenx, even though they are personal friends of the “old man.” But this is what does happen to them: They get the hardest jobs, the least rest and the smallest thanks of anybody in his command. Cannot Explain Loyalty. 1 once asked a captain why he was so loyal to Butler, and he said: “Well, I don’t know. I'd give him my shirt and he would nct only not thank me, but probably would demand that I give him my other one: but I stick because—I don't know.” ‘The answer is a good as anv. ‘There's the story of the train cap- tured frcm the American forces in Nic- aragua in 1912. The revolutionist took i | the train with such ridiculous east that the Nicaraguan newspapers said the Americans had ' been routed by a 12- year-old girl. The incident distinctly lowered the Americans in Nicaraguan eyes. Butler Got Train Back. Butler g)t the train back by sheer bluff by the simple expedient of going after it, with enough rifles turned against him to have blown him off the map. Not a shot was fired. Butler carried two little cloth bags in his hands and warned the revolutionists who barred his way with bayonets or machetes that dynamite was dangerous and cnuld blow their whole outfit off the ma) Which was perfecny true. but the bags were filled wth sand' Another thing Butler aoex which has caused criticism that he tries to be sensational: He is always moving a hill or performing herculean labors with | his Marines for the benefit of visiting officers who mav have a lot to say at some future date as to whether the Marines shall be increased or decreased in numbers or their pay lowered or raised and who will see exactly what the Marines can do and will realize their importance, Butler believes that visiting officials who remember his outfit ll l hlrd working, efficient, busy, sutfit will feel that, after all, lhe ‘Jnlte States .may have some use for them in future, and recommend that the 50 organization be either bettered or at the very least left as is. Fights For His Men. When he fights for the Leathernecks, to get something for them he feels they need or to keep them from being used as a foot ball in military politics, he fights with everything he has and until reaches a limit beyond which a single word may cause him to be court- martialed. Many officers don’t make the mistakes Butler does. Few are guilty of his verbal indiscretions. But no so many peoglle have heard of them, tions, and he won't stop until some- body bigger stops him—then he keeps Chevy your inspection. two air- low... .

Teilhard de Chardin to Sail Soon for China on Expedition. Preparatory to undertaking an elab-’ orate expedition into Asia, Rev. Father Teilhard de Chardin, palecntologist, stopped off in Washingion yesterday to visit Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic S-ciety, and to_confer with local scientists. Father de Chardin will sail from San Francisco this week for Peiping, where seven caterplllar cars will leave about March 10 to make their way westward to Kashgar, at th> foct of the Pamir, in Chin°se Turkestan. There the “China unit” will meet the main body of the French explorers, led by Georges-Marie Haardt, which will have pi from Beirut, Syria. In threading its way over inaccessible trails from Beirut to Peiping. the ex- pedition will travel some 12,000 miles, spanning the width of the giant conti- nent, and the vehicles must crcss moun- tains, marshes, rivers, swamps, lofty plateaus and gre-t deserts. The major object of the “Chinese unit” traveling from Peiping to Kash- gar is to furnish auxiliary transporta- tion for the main expedition party after the crossing of the Pamir region. Father de Chardin, however, als) expects to make the trip a reconnaissance for sub- sequent exploration.
