A—0 COUNCIL FAVORS ENLARGING SCHOOL Southeast Group Backs Plan for More Space at Eastern High. The improving and enlarging of Eastern High School as called for un- der a plan advanced by A. H. Gregory, president of the Home and School Association at the school, was favored last night by the Southeast Council of Citizens’ Associations. Gregory explained his plan to the | council at a meeting in the Buchanan | School, Thirteenth and D streets southeast. Under the plan, he said, the gymnasium would be transformed into a group of class rooms, and new stairways would be built. The plan also would do away with the soccer courts, thus providing sufficient space to build an addition to the school. The council made plans, at Greg- ory's request, to send three repre- sentatives to abpear with other civic group representatives before the Board of Education to urge adoption of the proposals. Gregory said he would set a meeting date with the board. Chairman William A. Maio of the council appointed the following members on this special committee: Dr. E. E. Richardson, Vernis Absher and Fred Marshall. “Dazzling” automobile lights were criticised in a resolution requesting District officials to enforce existing | regulations. Retention of the street car tracks on Pennsylvania avenue southeast, between Eighth and Seventeenth streets, was urged in another resolu- tion which also asked the present tracks be repaired. Construction of a comfort station and waiting room at Seventeenth street and Pennsyl- vania avenue southeast, an established transfer point. was requested. | Improvement of the center park-| ing area on southeast Pennsylvania | avenue was urged in a resolution au- | thorizing the secretary to call the| matter to the attention of C. Marshall | Finnan, superintendent of the Na-| tional Capital Parks. Members said the trees. hedges. shrubs and grass in this area are in bad shape. | CHILDREN'S ROOMS | PLAN IS INDORSED Columbia }{exghts Group to Con- tact Organizations for Rec- reation Facilities. A plan submitted to the Citizens’ Forum of Columbia Heights by its Education Committee. suggesting that churches, parish houses and similar places in Columbia Heights be con- tacted in an effort to secure recre- ational rooms for children, was ap- proved last night by the forum. ‘The plan of People’s Counsel Wil- . liam A. Roberts for smoke control here, which would authorize the District Commissioners to make their own smoke control regulations, was in- dorsed. | A resolution sponsored by the | Citizens’ Association of Takoma, ask- | ing for a reduction in gas rates, was | approved. Vernon L. Brown, chair- man of the forum’s Public Utilities | Committee, was appointed to attend | the Public Utility Commission hear- | ings on May 15. A resolution sponsored by the | Mount Pleasant Citizens’ Association, asking that a traffic light be placed at the intersection of Park road, | Mount Pleasant street and Seventeenth street, was indorsed. | H. C. Phillips, president, and Oliver | E. Foulke, secretary, presided at the | meeting held in the Powell Junior | High School. CAPT. W. G. CHILD MOVED Former Anacostia Commander to' Take Over Norfolk Station. Capt. Warren G. Child, command- ing officer at the Anacostia Naval Air Station in 1932 and 1933, is to become | commanding officer of the Norrolk' Naval Air Station in June.

PENNSYLVANIA BUDS, ‘ CENE: A bank of the Tidal Ba- sin, tinged roseate with fragile Japanese cherry blossoms. Off- stage can be heard the belch of exhausts, the blare of horns and the rest of the cacophony of automobiles at play. As the curtain rises four young and pretty girls are giggling and tittering as they carry large bunches of the blossoms to their coupe, which bears Pennsylvaria license tags. They put some of the blooms on the back of the seat and hang a large branch on the rear-view mirror. Then all four climb in the coupe just as & park policeman hove into vi Policeman—Hey! First girl (in anxious whisper)— Maybe it's because we're riding four in one seat. (Louder as officer ap- proaches) What is it, officer? Policeman—It's against the law— breaking ofl blossoms. Second girl (aghast)—Why, we wouldn't think of breaking off any of the cherry hlossoms. They are too beautiful. Policeman (sarcastically) — What are those you have there in the car? Second girl (oh, so innocently)— These? Oh, these are some Penn- sylvania blossoms we brought down here to compare with the Japanese kind. You can have them now, if you want them. Policeman (chastened tone) — Oh! Policeman slinks off to keep vigil over the glory of Japan as curtain falls. * X Xk X SPACE TO PLAY.

VEN the Navy's highest ranking | E officer has a hard time keeping up with the alphabetical ab- breviations of Washington's manifold governmental organizations. At a recent press conference with Secretary Swanson the question of funds for the National Advisory Com- mittee on Aeronautics came up— as N. A. C. A. Admiral William H. Standley, chief | "‘“ln OIL GIVES THE of naval operations, who was sitting beside the Secretary, wrinkled his brow and repeated N. A. C. A. to himself, apparently under the im- pression it was cne of the New Deal “alphabetical soup” groups. The admiral finally had to ask the reporter what N. A. C. A. meant. * * kX ‘THE HOUSE IS HUMAN. ORGIVE them, Mr. President. After all the 435 members of the House of Representatives can't remember everything, and be- sides, you've kept them so busy of late?| ‘Then, too, the mistake might have been made in their boyish enthusiasm to do honor to that Democratic pred- ecessor of yours, President Grover Cleveland. Here's what happened, Mr. Presi- dent: The House was considering joint resolution 147, designed to authorize erection of a monument here to Grover Cleveland. It directed that an associa- tion be organized within two years to accoruplish this and clothed the | Fine Arts Commission, subject to ap- | proval of the Joint Committee on the Library, to designate the site and ap- prove the model. Then it adopted this paragraph in the measure, reading: “That for the preparation of the site and the erec- tion of a pedestal upon which to place the said statue, under the direction | of the Director of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital the sum of $10,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby authorized to be appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not other- wise appropriated.” Of course we remember, Mr. Presi- dent, that there is no such person as | | the director of public buildings and public parks of the National Capital. You abolished that position in August, 1933, when you transfererd its work to the National Park Service of the Interior Department. * x x % SURPRISE PACKAGE.
