CITIZENS SUPPORT UNITED PORT PLAN Georgetown Group Indorses D. C.-Alexandria Area Proposal. The Georgetown Citizens’ Associa- tion. looking forward to the advan- |tages their community would gain by the proposed establishment of a port authority for Georgetown, Washington and Alexandria, last night appointed a committee to watch the progress of legislation which would effect this and to aid in the advantageous passage of such legislation. The committee inclfdes Frank P. | Leetch of the Executive Committee, | who is also chairman of the Rivers and | Harbors Committee of the Board of | Trade; Frank H. Kerr, chairman of the | Committee on Commercial Interests, and John H. Small, former Representa- tive from North Carolina, chairman of the association's Legislative Committee. It was explained that the water front of Georgetown, controlled by ce- ment, structural and other firms, is the only privately owned water front in the District of Columbia. Davison's Leaving Regretted. The group instructed its secretary, John Paul Jones, to dispatch a letter to Maj. D. A. Davison, who is leaving the service of the District of Columbia, expressing the association’s regret at having to lose his services, due to Army regulations, and its appreciation of his four years of work in the interests of the District. The action was taken following & motion in accordnace with a letter sent by the president, B. A. Bowles, in which he expressed faith in the Army offi- cer’s good will and efforts for the Dis- trict, and regret at the reports of recent speech he made at Ottawa, Canada, which said he had decried the citizens’ associations of the District as a “nuisance.” Maj. Davison, in a letter at the meeting, said he had been isquoted and that he had unfortu- nately used the word “nuisance.” Street Repairs Urged. Action toward the repair of a deep ridge in the street car tracks along Wisconsin avenue, especially between | Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth streets, | was referred to the Public Improve- | ments Committee, of which Isaac B. Nordlinger is chairman. The members and officers of the group said that the ridge had been responsible for numer- | ous automobile accidents in the block. A communication from the District Commissioners was read, in which they | said they would shorten or “round out™ the northwest corner of Wisconsin avenue and Volta place, now & sharp and dangerous intersection. | The group, by unanimous agreement, | commended ' the work of Isaac B. | Nordlinger in the Community Chest |and other civic enterprises, following a motion by John Hadley Doyle.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2 1932 Bird With Peg Leg Succumbs at Zoo; Came From Africa By the Associated Press. DETROIT, March 2—Death has claimed another zoological oddity—King Joseph the First, said to have been the only Af- rican secretary bird with an arti- ficial leg. It looked like the end for King Joe when he broke his leg two years ago while at his favorite diversion of tormenting the ante- lopes in the Detroit Zoo. But Theodore Schroder, keeper of the zoo, fashioned a wooden leg which Joe soon learned to ma- nipulate. For greater strength and less weight, Joe traded in the wooden leg for an aluminum limb last year, and that served him until his death. Secretary bird gets its name from a crest of feathers resem- bling pens. Owns Flag Worn by John L. Fire Chief John L.
