B—4 x . SENATORS SPEAK AT TAKOMA PARK Capper and Frazier Discuss Living Costs Here at Citizens’ Meeting. Senators Capper of Kansas and Prazier of North Dakota spoke at the forty-sixth anniversary of the Ta- koma Park Citizens' Association Friday night on enfranchisement of District residents and the cost of living in the Capital, at the same time referring to legislative matters. Senator Capper favored national representation for District residents and expressed himself strongly for adequate compensation for Federal employes. He referred especially to the cost of commodities. He also pledged himself to support the move- ment for modern school buildings. Senator Capper discussed the in- creasing truffic toll and declared he and Chairman King of the Senate District Committee are prepared to put forth every effort to remedy con- aitions. Frazier Discusses Prices. Senator Frazier, a resident of Ta- koma Park, discussed the “spread” between the price paid to the pro- ducer of foodstuffs and the amount paid by the consumer. He also stressed | the necessity for adequate educational | and recreational facilities. | Mayor Frederick L. Lewton of Ta- koma Park, Md., paid tribute to Sen- ator Frazier for the part he has taken in civic affairs. Mrs. Mary Lamond White, presi- dent of the association, announced she will appear before the Senate Subcommittee on Appropriations in support of an appropriation for an addition to the Paul Junior High | School and a northern high school in the Takoma area. She also will urge the continuance of character educa- tion in the schools. The establish- ment of a recregtional center at Four- teenth and Upshur streets would be provided in a motion by H. R. Smal- ley, which was adopted. The association approved a sug- gestion by Dr. Guy Clinton, chairman of the Fire, Police and Public Safety Committee, and Secretary Walter Irey to request the Federation of Citizens' Associations to join with the Takoma Park Association in a safety- in-traffic plan. The association passed a resolution by L. R. Grabill, urging the improvement of sidewalks in the | Cedar street subway. Anniversary Program Held. Chester C. Waters, chairman of the Public Utilities Committee, pre- i sented a resolution® requesting the Public Utilities Commission to modify a recent order so as to provide for | the retention of the street car tracks | on Kennedy street from Georgia ave- nue to Fourteenth street until such | time as the proposed connections with | other westbound tracks are completed. Dr. William A. Hooker, chairman of the Benjamin F. Gilbert Memorial and Historic Committee, presided over | the anniversary program, and at his| suggestion Mrs. Cora B. Dudley and | Mrs. Azro J. Cory, pioneer residents | of Takoma Park, were elected hon- orary members.

Pierson, com- manding the sixth police precinct, and Miss Flora Brown, librarian of the Takoma Park Branch Library, were also elected to honorary member- ship.

Colden, Congress- man, editor and dignitary, is concerned. He insists there is a vast difference between beirg chairman of a committee named: “Committee For the Disposition of Useless Executive Papers” and one named: “Joint Committee on Preservation of Public Archives.” The first is a joke. The other is distinctly impressive. Now chairman and sole member of the former, the 65-year-old Californian is conducting a one-man campaign to get the House to rebaptize it with the more mouth- filling title, Laughs Not Musical. Every time Mr. Colden takes a walk around the Capitol he hears a mer:y ha-ha from his colleagues bowled over in laughter at the committee’s name. When he sits in the House, his neighbors elaborate on what Colden now feels is a very stale gag. It has become very boring. Colden, a former school teacher, editor and president of the board of a college, became the committee for the disposition of useless executive papers in January. He succeeded Robert Alexis Green of Florida, who took a determined stand and declared he would have no more of it. Colden is willing to have a lot more of it if his colleagues will retag the committee. The committee actually does con- siderable work and can claim the unusual distinction of paying its own way. No other committee can keep books on its income because there is no income Colden, however, every year sells to libraries and research workers thou- sands of dollars’ worth of scientific papers and various pamphlets. The committee was set up during the second administration of Grover Cleveland. Congress decided no gov- THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON, Much in a Name Wants Appropriate His Committee.

Before any department of the Gov- ernment can tear up a document, it has to lay a formal request before Mr. Colden. Thus a crotchety chair- | man with a saving disposition could | cause a rapid accumulation of tons of | pink-ribboned piles of paper. | The documents with which the com- | | mittee deals run from cleaning and | | pressing bills and butcher shop re- | ceipts to records of great historic value. With the aid of his clerk, Abbie B. | Colden, the committee wades through | the pile to set aside the ones for | the furnace and the ones for the files. | | BROWN UNIVERSITY GRADUATES ELECT Harold B.

Fo R Ve ncinnaty Ch i HOME OF THE CHICKERING PIANO WALSH SEES PERIL IN JAPAN'S GOODS Calls Attention of Senate to In_vasion of U. S. Tex- tile Market. Menace of Japan's invasion of the Arerican textile market was called to the attention of the Senate yesterday by . Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts. Senator Walsh has sent a letter to Chairman Robert L. O'Brien of the Tariff Commission, setting forth the rapid inerease in the importations of Japanese cotton cloth, showing how those importations are leaping this | year as compared with last, and dis- | closing how American textile mills are | suffering from the effects of ship-| ments. He put into the record his letter to Chairman O'Brien. In it he reminded Mr O'Brien that the situation was “urgent” and that Senators and Represeyuuves from North and South, | GET EASY TERMS AND LIBERAL TRADE-IN ALLOWANCES D. C. MARCH 17, where cotton cloth is manufactured, are of the same opinion and seek relief. The letter is of particular interest here, for various reasons. One is that Democratic members of the two Houses are stirred as to the need of protection against Japanese importations. An- other is that thus far complaints of members of Congress to Chairman O'Brien on the question of Japanese imports have been given scant back- ing. Recent complaints from the Middle West on Japanese imports in other lines have had little effect. The reports of inroads of Japanese cotton cloth also gain added interest here by reason of the fact the Senate yesterday decided to investigate, under | the Smith resolution, the.recent drop | in cotton prices and because the De- partment of Agriculture has sent Oscar Johnstone, cotton expert, abroad to study cotton production in other countries. CROSS-BILL GRANTED RENO, Nev., March 16 (#)—On a cross - complaint charging extreme cruelty, Mrs. Nannette E. Greacen Van Beuren obtained a divorce here today from Prederick T. Van Beuren, 3d, New York City social registerite. The hear- ing was private. Van Beuren, who did not contest the action, filed the suit last March 7, also charging Mrs. Van Beuren with extreme cruelty. They were married June 29, 1929, in New York City. 1935—PART ONE. JOHNSON TERMED “DEAD MACKEREL" Long, En Route to Baton Rouge, Also Assails Joe Robinson. By the Assoctated Press. ATLANTA, March 16.— Senator Huey P. Long today rapped Gen. Hugh Johnson as a “dead mackerel” and said he planned to campaign in several States during the 1936 elec- tions. An armed bodyguard looked on as the Senator, en route from Washing- ton to Baton Rouge, answered queries. He did not get off the train here. Definitely announcing his plans to seek re-election to the Senate next year, the Louisianan turned on Sen- ator Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic | Senate leader from Arkansas. “I like Joe Robinson so well I want to go back to the Senate so it will give him an excuse to get out,” Long said. He referred to an attack made on him in the Senate this week in which Robinson said if he had to continue to look at Long and hear him speak | three or four times a day, it would be | a godsend to get out of the Senatev‘ His reference to Johnson, former | N. R. A. chieftain, was made When | Long said he had made no plans for | further attacks on Johnson. “He's a dead mackeral whom Wall Street revived in hopes his shadow would blemish something else,” Long sald. Long sald he was uncertain of the “I may go into all of them,” he declared. “In some I'll speak for share-the-wealth candidates, and in others I'll campaign for those whom 1 want re-elected.” JUDGE IS INDICTED Florida Official Is Drunken Driving.
