PETWORTH GROLP ASKS FOR LBRARY Citizens’ Association Wants Branch at Georgia Avenue and Upshur Street. Construction of & branch public library &t Georgia avenue and Upshur street was urged last night by the Pet- worth Citizens' Association, meeting in the Petworth School. The crganiza tion regquested that Congress appro priate $143,000 for the project. Jt was pointed out that the District owns a plot of land at Georgia avenue and Upshur street which wouid be suit~ able as a site for the proposed structure Such a location, it was said, would be near the new Roosevelt High School now under construction, and availabl for the use of students of the school. The need cf @ branch library for the residents of the neighborhood also was emphasized. ‘The assoclation went on record as favoring the turning over of the old Pension Office Building to the District Natlonal Guard for use as an armory @s_soon as possible. Harvey O. Craver was selected as delegate to the Federation of Citizens' Associations to succeed Horace J. Phelps, president, who requested the action. The association voted to hold a spe- clal meeting in celebration of Maryland day, April 8. George W. Potter is chair- man of the committee in charge cof arrangements for the meeting and Dr Walter B. Patterson is vice chzirman. e PROHIBITION ARRESTS INCREASE IN DISTRICT More Cars and Stills Seized and Fewer Cases Left Pending in February. Prohibition enforcement during Feb- ruary resulted in more arrests, increased liquor car seizures, capture of more stills and fewer cases pending in the courts as compared with February, 1931, ‘There was less spirits and beer seized last month. The Prohibition Bureau announced yesterday that the month’s arrests to- taled 6,662, an increase of 29 per cent. ‘The number of automobiles seized, 971, was a gain of 77 per cent, and stills taken, 2,171, an advance of 8 per cent. Comparison of the same periods, how- ever, showed a décrease of 28,013 gal- lons in spirits seized and of 132,122 for beer, Wine seizures increased 12,312 gallons. Five hundred new Federal agents went to work last July. The bureau's announcement said the increases “are reasonably consistent with the increase in the force.” Prohibition Director Woodcock con- tinues to emphasize a policy of aiming at big offenses, particularly manufac- turing and tion. He is keep- ing tab on the application of this policy through an expanded statistics taking system. The bureau here now receives full data regarding individual cases, as ‘well as totals showing the trend of en- forcement activity. Cases ended in Federal courts during February, 1932, exceeded new cases placed on the dockets by 197. This de- creased pending cases 191 from the total for January, but left 21,556 on the dockets. BELL CAB ASSOCIATION SUES FORMER MEMBERS Court Asked to Prevent Two Hack- ers From Using Group's In- signia on Their Cars. The Bell Cab Association, through Leon Brill, president, filed in District Supreme Court today separate suits against Thomas J Vrana, 311 E street northeast, and Charles T. O'Connell, 54 C street, former members of the as- . The court was asked to pre- vent the defendants from using the association insignia on their cabs. ‘Through Attorney Mark F. Fried- lander, the association said the cab- men own their own vehieles, but joined the association and entered into a con- tract to make certain payments for the privilege of using the association name on their cabs. They have failed to kem up the pay- ments, the association alleged, asking that a specific performance of the con- tract be decreed and the cabmen re- quired to remove from their cabs colors indicating their connection with the association.
