RED RIDER FIGHT ENLIVENS MEETING Two Resignations, Abrupt Adiournment Mark Takoma, |D. C., Citizens’ Session. | As the result of a lengthy discus- I*on of the “red rider” at one of the njost tense meetings held in the his- " tory of the Citizens’ Association of Takoma, D. C., last night, two promi- nent members of the association re- signed membership on committees and the meeting abruptly adjourned. The exciting moments came when Willilam M. Green, chairman of the School Committee, presented a reso- lution reaffirming the action of the sssociation last March, favoring re- peal of the so-called “red rider.” President Wallace C. Magathan zuled that the resolution was out of order, as the association had already { on the subject at a special $enng of the association. Jesse C. Suter, a member of the Executive iv:mmitm of the association, quickly ppealed from the decision of the air, stating that the reslution was gular, that action was timely and E:;e was no reason for ruling the lution out of order. The chair overridden by a standing vote of 1 to 7, although many present did ot vote. Debate Extended. George E. Sullivan, chairman of the Laws and Legislation Committee, hen took the floor and reviewed the istory of the “red rider” and his rt in the activities not only from he standpoint of a delegate to the Federation of Citizens' Association, ut as representative and chairman f that organization having the mat- r in charge. He said that he con- idered it a direct slap in the face and after discussing the matter at some length, moved that the resolution /be referred to the Executive Commit- tee of the association, with power to lact. Adoption of the resolution, he isaid, would bring the association into bad repute, which brought a denial /from Suter. Time was called on both |Sullivan and Suter, but extensions |were granted to continue the debate. | At this point in the meeting Magathan called First Vice President R. H. Fiedleir to the chair and step- ping to the floor Magathan made a |direct appeal to decide the issue once |and for all. After serving five years | as president, he said, he did not want |anything to happen that would hurt | the association. He explained that | he did not want to act arbitrarily in | the matter and pleaded for harmony. |'When he returned to the chair D. |Stewart Patterson moved that the | resolution be tabled. The motion wor 17 to 7. | ‘When the vote was announced, | Green took the floor and resigned as chairman of the School Committee, | immediately followed by Suter pre- | senting his resignation as a member | of the Executive Committee. He de- | plored the tabling of the resolution. Resolution’s Provisions. Main provisions of the resolution ‘Were: “1, That we reaffirm our action of March 9, 1936, favoring the repeal of | the so-called ‘red rider’ attached to the District appropriation act for the fiscal year 1935. “As & general proposition, we are opposed to legislation on appropria- tion bills and regard the said red rider as an especially obnoxious ex- | ample of such irregular legislative procedure. This association has no sympathy with communism and is opposed to any attempted indoctrin- ation of the pupils of our schools with that or any other un-American doc- trines. Any persons in the school system guilty of such reprehensible conduct should be singled out and suitably pumished rather than the slurring as unpatriotic and disloyal | our fine body of teachers and school officials. “2, That we express it as our belief that if the pupils of our schools are to receive a well-roundéd education | 'which, among other things, will equip | them for an understanding of the fallacies and pitfalls and dangers of communism and other foreign ‘isms,’ | they must get unbiased instruction regarding such subjects in our schools | rather than from propagandists or | “crack-pot’ advocates of such theories. “3. That this association disclaims sny sympathy with or approval of the attitude and activities of the Federation of Citizens' Associations and its Special Committee on Com- | munism in the schools upon this subject. “4. That our delegates to the Fed- eration of Citizens' Associations be and they are hereby instructed to support in that body any proposals for the repeal of the said red rider and the discharge of the said Special Committee on Communism in the Bchools.” After the meeting adjourned Presi- | | Stabs Husband NEW YEAR PARTY ENDS IN TRAGEDY.

PERMIT REVOCATION CHANGES OPPOSED { Forest Hills Citizens’ Association Sees Increased Speed Resulting. Opposition to proposed changes in the revocation of driving permits of persons convicted of speeding was expressed last night by the Forest Hills Citizens' Association, meeting in the Ben Murch School. Col. L. C. Crawford introduced the measure and declared changes now considered by many civic groups would have the effect of increasing the speed limit. Richard M. Ham of the Ameri- | can Automobile Association, who is also a member, declared there is great need for the proposed changes and asked members to approve the Ameri- can Automobile Association's plan, which calls for the revocation of driv- ing permits of persons exceeding | specified maximum limits. The as- sociation opposed his resolution to refer back to committee. Eme Births Reported. John and Frances Mason. boy. Cauthen and Betty Hendrix, boy. Prederick and Eunice Smith. boy.
