THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. Y, TUESDAY, JULY %, 1933. PEPCO PETITIONS BEING COLLECTED Sufficient Arlington Signa- tures for Service Exten- sion Are Foreseen. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va. July 4—With less than half of the petitions asking the Potomac Electric | Power Co. to extend its service through- out Arlington County in his hands to- day, L. C. McNemar, chairman of the Public Utilities Committee of the Ar- lington County Civic Federation, was | unable to give an estimate as to the| number of persons who have expressed themselves as desiring the service of the Washington concern. McNemar said the number of signa- tures to the petitions so far received indicate that the total will meet the expectations of his committee and clearly indicate to the Potomac Elec- tric Power Co. that it can be assured of sufficient business to justify the ex- tension of its lines throughout the county. Saturday was the last day for cir- eulation of the petitions, and McNemar sald that he expects to have all of them in during this week. When they have been assembled and tabulated they will be turned over to Chairman Ed- mund D. Campbell of the Arlington County Public Utilities Commission for presentation to the Potomac Electric Power Co. Officials of the Washington concern today said they were awaiting the pe- titions from Arlington County and that these would be placed before the board of directors for deflnite action upon their receipt.

Capital Fore- cast by Dr. Wilgus. ‘The possibility of complete economic , absorption of Caribbean countries by | United States capital was forecast by | American studies of George Washington | University, in opening a conference on Hispanic-American affairs. ‘The poverty of the Caribbean states, Dr. Wilgus said, has resulted in their going further and further into debt to American bankers, while the United States’ foreign policy, which had given sanction and encouragement to United States’ interests in Central America, has contributed to the situation. For Greater Prosperity. Referring to increasing control by the United States, Dr. Wilgus said that un- questionably it would bring greater pros- perity to those countries, but whether it would better social conditions among the mass of the people is problematical, he said, because of the fact that “before they are capable of benefiting througn general economic improvement, they must be educated beyond their present social level by their own people.” The conference, presented through the Summer sessions of the George Wash- ington University School of Government, will meet two hours daily for the next six weeks, with professors from nine | American and Latin-American univer- sities, and officers of the Pan-American | Union and cther agencies concerned with Latin America, participating as lecturers. Emphasis will be centralized | on the Caribbean area, with particular | attention to American diplomacy, and to | the history of Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and Northern South America. Cuba Lecture Topic. ‘Tomorrow, the conference will con- tinue with a lecture on “Present-Day Cuba,” given by Herminio Portell Vila, formerly of the faculty of the Uni- versity of Havana; and by the first of three lectures to be given by Dr. Samuel Guy Inman of Columbia University. Dr. Portell Vila is one of Cuba’s out- standing young scholars, and since 1931 has been Guggenheim fellow in Cuban- American history. The first of two works prepared by him as the result of the Guggenheim fellowship, “The History of American Diplomacy in Cuba, 1776-1933,” is soon to be pub- lished. Dr. Inman is executive secretary of the conference on co-operation in Latin America, lecturer at the University of Chile, the University of San Marcos, the | University of Mexico, etc., and the author of a number of books on His- panic America. His lectures will be “The Significance of the Caribbeas {July 5; “Political Life in the Caribbean. | July 7, and “Social Life in the Carib- bean,” July 8. Coal Resources Large.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., July 4—The mayor and Common Council last night voted to recommend to the State Roads Commission that Rhode Island avenue be widened and improved out of the funds provided the State by the Fed- eral Government for public works. The Chamber of Commerce of Hyattsville, at its last meeting, took similar action. It was pointed out at the Council meeting that Rhode Island avenue is an important feeder road to a Federal and State road, the Washington-Bal- timore Boulevard, and as such prop- erly could be improved under a 100 per cent Federal grant. It was also suggested that the State Roads Commission be asked to consider for construction as feeder roads the extension of Columbia avenue through Dewey street under the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks to connect with the Wi -Baltimore Boulevard near the bridge connecting Hyattsville and Bladensburg, the extension of Franklin street to intersect Queen’s Chapel road and the extension to University drive of the Colesville road and Arundel avenue. It was suggested that it might be possible to have storm sewers in the Oakwood road section of the fourth ward constructed, with the Federal Gov- ernment contributing 30 per cent of the cost and the town the other 70 per cent. | All the projects were referred to the Road Committee, which, with Council- |man C. D. Anderson and Corporation Counsel H. Winship Wheatley, jr., will meet Friday night for further study of the situation, preparatory to reporting to the regular meeting of the Council \% eg. 8¢ but the need of yourself and family New Crop for good food at sensible prices continues.
