SECTIONREQUESTS EXPRESS SERVICE Fast Street Car or Bus Sys- tem Urged by North Washington Groups. Express transportation service from North Washington to downtown areas was asked by citizens’ associations of this area at a meeting last night at | the home of Lyster H. Dewey, presi- dent Petworth Citizens’ Association. In a resolution adopted by delegates, each agreed that the proposed plan would be submitted to their respective citizens’ groups for ratification before the action would become binding. Meanwhile, it was decided to appear before People’s Counsel William A. Roberts and the Public Utilities Com- mission and submit three plans dis- cussed, in order to determine the one most feasible. Plans Outlined. The proposals incorporated in the measure provide that North Washing- ton be furnished with either one or a combination of the following plans for express service: By the use of Eleventh and Ninth streets for express street service of the Georgia avenue line. By express bus service on Georgia avenue line. By the establishment of the Georgia avenue line as an express line, with stops only at Butternut street, Bright- wood car barn, Kennedy street, Up- shur street, New Hampshire avenue, the This Changing World Offensive Best Defense Believes Emperor Haile Selassie. i BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. | FFENSIVE is the best defen- | sive. This much has his maj- | esty, Haile Selassie I, Em- | peror of Ethiopia, king of kings and direct descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, learned from his contacts with the civilized West. * ok k% Haile Selassie is not afraid of the saber rattling of Mussolini. If it is a question of choosing between two strong men, it is difficult to say who is the strongest and the most de- termined. Selassie has a slight advantage over Mussolini. He can wage a war with- out fear of being entangled somewhere else the moment the cannon starts speaking instead of the diplomats. Furthermore he hopes history will re- peat itself. In 1896 Emperor Menelik, Selassie’s predecessor, gave the Ital- | ians the licking of their life. Selassie | hopes to repeat the feat. | that sooner or later, despite the treaty | of friendship and amity which was | signed with Italy in 1928, he will be | | attacked by the Italians.

Busses Would Feed Lines. This latter proposal gained the general approval of all representatives present. Washington Y. Boyd, chair- man of the Public Utilities Committee of the Petworth body, submitted the plan. and it was explained that by this method passengers living between the express street car stops would | board a local bus and ride to the first express stop, at which point they could transfer to the street cars. As to the use of Eleventh and Ninth streets for express-car service, va- rious suggestions were made as to possible connections with the Georgia avenue line. The preliminary meet- ing of the group was held Tuesday & week ago, and delegates had subse- quently made a personal inspection of the terminus of both Eleventh and Ninth streets, with a view of con- necting these streets to Georgia ave- nue by way of New Hampshire or Kansas avenues or a proposed cut near the Banneker Recreation Center.

There are now public demonstrations in Athens and in other principal cities against the republic. Newspapers considered close to the government are openly advocating the return to monarchy.
