CITIZENS SELECT MAGATHAN AGAIN Takoma, D. C., Re-elects Him to Fourth Term as President. Wallace O. Magathan was re-elected president of the Citizens’ Association of Takoma, D. C., for the fourth term last night at the annual meeting held in the Takoma Park branch of the Washington Public Library, Fifth and Cedar streets. Other officers elected were: First vice president, W. H. Youngman; sec- ond vice president, L. A. Jones; sec- retary, W. H. Parsons; corresponding secretary, W. M. Hurst; treasurer, N. | E. McIndoo; delegates to the Federa- | tion of Citizens' Associations, George E. Sullivan and Magathan, both re- elected. Crime Probers Lauded. The association commended “the courageous and thorough manner in | which the House Subcommittee on | Crime Prevention in the District con- ducted its recent investigation.” The | resolution also expressed the hope “that the committee will embody in | its report a clear and unanswerable expose of the fallacy and absurdity of the contention that law enforcement would be aided by legalizing gam- bling.” George E. Sullivan presented a resolution which was adopted, urging early steps to provide municipal hos- pital facilities for persons of moderate means at rates within their income. The association commended Commis- | sioner Allen for his efforts in this | connection, but did not commit itself to any particular expenditure for the purpose. | | | A resolution dealing with gas rates was adopted and will be presented to the Public Utilities Commission at the gas rate hearing scheduled for April 15. A thorough investigation was re- quested of the interlocking arrange- ments with other companies. The re- | port also asked that the rates in the | District be reduced 20 per cent, as recently ordered in Virginia. : “School Addition Asked. | President Magathan reported that the association has asked construction -CHUECH FEDERATION ASSOCIATES HONOR THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO Youths Sentenced to Death for Murder Copyright, A.

Teams representing George Wash- ington University and Princeton Uni- versity argued the effectiveness of an arms embargo as a means of war pre- vention, in a no-decision debate in Corcoran Hall last night. Speaking for the local university, Dix Price and Theodore Pierson con- tended prevention of the international shipment of arms and munitions would be ineffective. The Princeton debaters, G. A. Craig and T. L. Highsaw. maintained an embargo on arms and materials for the manufacture of munitions to be entirely practicable and the only way to put an end to the profits of the munitions makers.

As the long unsettled recreations question in the District moved to a conclusion with & conference sched- uled for tomorrow at the District Building, the Progressive Citizens of Georgetown last night gave its sup- port to the report of the Advisory Council of Fifty, made March 12. The citizens’ association favored a nine-member board, selected by the Commisioners, the Board of Educa- tion and the superintendent of the National Capital Parks Office, to di- rect the centralizing of the city’s rec- reational facilities. They did not ap- prove of the Recreations Committee recently set up under Frederic A. Del- ano. Neither did they wish the three present recreational units to be reor- ganized under the National Capital Parks. General agreement was expressed with the point of view of Commissioner Hazen and People’s Counsel Willlam A. Roberts that the recreation ques- tion should be left in the hands of the District. George W. Offutt, chairman of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, gave his views on the overcrowded condition of the District’s statute books. Offutt indicted the unenforcea- bility of some of our present laws, urg- ing they be abolished, and enforceable onces substituted. The Law and Legislation Commit- tee of the association made a prelimi- nary report on the federation's new plan for broader powers for the Com- missioners and more self-rule for citi- zens, but no action will be taken by the association until further study has been given to the situation.
