In this connection, he pointed to the fact that the sult was fled under an act of Congress of 1912 which permit- ted the Government to bring sult to settle title to lands lying within_ the District of Columbia, hence the filing of & suit of this kind, he believes, amounts to an assertion that the Vir- ginia lands for which they are seek- | ing title are actually in the District of Columbia and that they are claiming political jurisdiction. Representative Howard W. Smith of the eighth district last night declared | that Reid had very clearly stated the situation in the statement made by him | | yesterday. Two matters of Vital interest to the National Capital Park and Planning | Commission were to have been placed | before the General Assembly at this | session, one being a bill for a $25,000 | State appropriation for the George Washington Memorial Parkway, as in- cluded in the pudget by Gov. Pollard and the other was the proposed amen of political jurisdiction | that the question of political jurisdic- | ment of the Ball park and_ planning act to make it conform to the desires of the Pederal planning body. Both are to be withheid. ——— BENEFIT TO BE HELD Interpretative dancing and classical musical seléctions will feature the pro- gram of a benefit recital to be given by the Zonta Club of Washington to- night at 8:30 o'clock in the Wardman Park Theater, The proceeds will be utilized by the educational fund of the club.
