" DR MARVIN URGES LOGAL VOTE FIEAT Educator Addresses Oldest Inhabitants Group’s 4th Celebration. Charging that ‘“new ways twisted old faiths from their founda- tions and disturbed the sanctions of the holiest laws” in modern life, Dr. Cloyd H. Marvin, president of George Washington ~ University, yesterday sounded an Independence day call to “righteous citizenship” with a de- mand for votes for the District of Columbia. Too much emphasis is being placed on the “economic” phase of life to- day, Dr. Marvin told the Association of Oldest Inhabitants in their tradi- tional Independence day at Old Union Engine House. A re- turn to the “spiritual” values of ear- lier days and the ©heritance left us by our fath said the have speaker, involved “the recognition of | responsibilities incurred through the tnheritanc “I know that it is not righteous eitizenship,” he declared, “when as individuals do not insist upon our full right of suffrage within this Dis- trict. I know it is not righteous citi- venship when any one of us seeks to | evade the payment of legitimate taxes. I know that it is not righteous citizen- ship when masters of corporations chartered to do public work give that service only of those that they should serve. I know that it is not righteous citizen- ghip for industry to oppress worker and stand apart and say that unfair contracts were made and that there is nothing to arbitrate. that it is not for the worker I know in his strength to break law, confiscate property and lose | his understanding of the very rights he seeks. I know that it is not righteous citizenship that permits im- proper relations to be established with other nations. Righteous citizenship means cal g out our legal obliga- tions, for they are the rules of the game, and. more than that, it means living our lives with one another upon the plan of the golden rule. “Righteous citizenship.” he declared. the knowing of right and the lic life, is the recogni- t and wrong in the re- lations of the individual life to the life of the state. * * * Public office 15 a public t but now that gov- ernment and business are immediate partners there is no private office which does not involve its public duties and responsibilities — except here in the District of Columbia, where we have no such thing as citizenship.” Declaring “there never was a time in the history of this Nation when the need of intelligent and patriotic service was so keenly felt,” Dr. Marvin said modern changes had resulted in & ‘“contrast of conditions, a s ence of social ideals and a sh social relations involving the entire fabric of our society.” “The sudden widel the enrichment of knowled with new works, new wa, he said, | “have twisted old faiths from their foundations and disturbed the sanc- | tions of the holiest laws.

The invocation was by Rev. Walter E. Price, pastor of Northminsterr Pres- byterian Church. John B. Dickman of the associa- tion, who recently was honored by election as president of Columbia Typographical Union, read “The Dec- laration of Independence.” There was group singing, and refreshments were served by the Entertainment Com- mittee, headed by Elra C. Palmer.

A request from the present Police Boys' Club for support was referred to the Executive Committee of the association with the sugges- tion that if funds becom available | later a contribution be made.

Kirkwood's 67, scored over the neighboring Burnside course, being used only for the qualifying play, was four under par and cut three strokes off the course record set yesterday by Sarazen, Pat Mahon of Ireland and Ernest E. Whitcombe of England. Henry Cotton, leading home-bred hope to gain the title won last year by Alf Padgham, trailed the three Americans by one stroke, with 73-72, 145, Cruickshank Qualifies. Willie Padgham, who has been off | his game for some time, safely made | the qualifying grade by adding a 74 at Carnoustie to his first-round 78 for 152. He did little to better his stand- ing as a “long shot” in the strong| international fleld. “"Wee Bobby” Cruickshank of Rich- mond, Va., shot Carnoustie in 73 de- spite a rising wind and was safely in the qualifying fold with 150. Johnny Revolta equaled Burnside's par 71 for a total of 147. Birdies at the sixth and eighth, where he drop- ped long putts, left him two under par at the turn, but errors at the twelfth, fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth cost him a chance to get closer to the leaders. Denny Shute scrambled around Burnside in 75 strokes for a total of 146 A stroke behind Shute, at came burly Charley Lacey, pro from Great Neck, N.

Bobby Locke, 19-year-old South African, tourned Carncusite in 73 strokes for 144 Henry Picard, playing under the day’'s wind, posted a 175 at Burnside, for 148. Two holes, the fifteenth and : seventeenth, ruined his round, when he took an 8 and a 6, respectively. Patrick Mahor, the big, able Irish- man who was in a triple tie for third place yesterday on the strength of 70 at Burnside, went three over on Carnoustie with a 74 for 144.

Watches Court Fight. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt returned to Washington today after a week's ab- sence, during which time he attended the wedding of his son Franklin to Miss Ethel du Pont and then visited his mother’s Hyde Park home. ‘The President looked rested and re- freshed as a result of his brief vaca- tion. He faced a busy day and indi- cated he would look with interest on the opening of the fight on the Senate floor on the Supreme Court enlarge- ment proposal. The President left Hyde Park on & special train shortly before midnight last night. His traveling companions were his son James, who is one of his secretaries, and Secretary of the Treas- ury Morgenthau, who has a 1,000-acre farm in the neighborhood of the President’s home. Two Conferences. Before going to his desk in the executive office this morning, Presi- dent Roosevelt held two conferences in his study on the second floor. One of these was with Senator Wheeler of Montana, leader of the Senate group opposing the President’s Supreme Court enlargement proposal. The other was with Senator Bone of Washing- ton, who is lined up with the pro- court group in the Senate. Among others the President con- ferred with during the day were Louis Johnson, newly appointed Assistant | Secretary of War, who took this occa- sion to informally thank the President for his appointment; Benedict Crowell, Assistant Secretary of War during the World War, who is a member of the American Battle Monuments Com- mission; Representatives Cochran of Missouri, Dies and Patmah of Texas and Adolph Miller, who discussed with the President a proposed memorial for the late Franklin K. Lane, who w Secretary of Interior during the Wil son administration. Will See All-Star Game. One of the first things the Presi- dent gave his attention to upon his return was to work out the details for his personal participation in the Boy Scout Jamboree being held here. As announced from the White House, the President tomorrow afternoon will | make a brief stop at the camp of the | Scouts from Dutchess County, N. Y., the President's home county This will come after he motors to| Griffith Stadium to attend the all- star base ball game, on which occasion he will have as a personal guard 12 or 16 selected Eagle Scouts. On Thursday the President will re- | view the Scouts as they stand at at- tention on either side of Constitution avenue. Accompanied by Mrs. Roose- velt, the President will drive to the | Capitol, where his car will be placed at the head of a caravan, including members of his cabinet and the dele- gation from the Senate and House of Representatives, which will then drive | slowly along Constitution avenue. - | At the request of the President, ar- rangements were made several days 2go to make it possible for all of the Visiting Boy Scouts to see the interior of the White House. ..

JAPANESE REPORT RED FORCE BEATEN Day-Long Battle Is Said to Have Been Fought on Manchu Border. ¥ the Associated Pres HSINKING, Manchukuo, July 6.— The Japanese Army declared today it had defeated a sizeable detachment of Russian troops in a day-long bat- tle on the disputed Eastern frontier of Manchukuo and Siberia. The Japanese-inspired government of Manchukuo immediately made strong representations to Moscow over the renewed outbreak of hostilities. Soviet troops, the army charged, launched two attacks against com- binedl Japanese-Manchukuoan border guards Monday morning near the little frontier town of Chienshan. An army communique declared the Rus- sians opened fire and wounded one Japanese soldier before the assaults were repulsed. Throughout the day, the army as- serted, the Soviet troops brought up heavy artillery and in the evening started a bombardment of the Man- chukuoan side of the border with heavy cannon. At the same time, the army spokes- man said, an attack in force was| made by a detachment of 150 Soviet The Japanese and Manchukuocan troops were said to have advanced to meet the assault, driving back the alleged invaders with a vigorous | counter attack. Two Soviet soldiers were reported to have been killed in the engage- The latest outbreak of open warfare was considered here to be serious, coming as it does so soon after the serious break between Russia and Japan caused by last week's battle of the Amur River. Only the most delicate diplomatic negotiations at that time kept Rus- sia and Japan from an open break fter Japan had invoked the mutual | assistance pact with Manchukuo, the tate she carved out of Manchuria, | and seconded the young state's strong | protests to Russia. ”Cllp];(f_l;_ (Continued From First Page) to Montreal probably Thursday and then on to Port Washington, N.

A huge burst of cheering almost drowned out the noise of the engines as the Clipper circled over Foynes Is- land. Then she reduced her speed and made a graceful, smooth landing | where the River Shannon flows. Tne huge flying boat settled down within 50 yaras of her moorings, and as she taxied the short distance down | the river her welcomers shouted: “Bravo! Bravo! Welcome to Ire- land” Capt. Gray was smiling happily as | he came ashore to receive the warmn greetings of President Eamon de Valera of the Irish Free State, Sean Lemass, minister of commerce and in- dustry, and officials of the British air ministry and imperial airways. “It was a pleasant, enjoyable trip,” Capt. Gray said. “We had a following wind and at no time experienced any difficulty. Probably the worst part was as we approached Ireland, when we encountered rain clouds, and I must confess it was a bit murky as we neared land. Still this is a great mo- ment.” “A Nice Little Joy Ride.” The crowd good-naturedly heckled when a customs officer boarded the clipper to inspect luggage. His formal report said “no contraband.” ‘The clipper crew, wearing sou'west- ers over their uniforms, stood talking to De Valera in a driving rain. Al- though they long had been sleepless, they presented a smart appearance. All had shaved before landing. “We always do that” Gray ex-| plained. “It's just as easy as on a| train.” Gray, speaking through a micro- phone, told his quayside audience the flight “was a rather small hop com- | pared with the Pacific runs we have been making for two years—so 12 1SHED 1959 Fresh CORN 7.

It also was the longest expanse of unbroken clouds that I've ever seen.” Throng Greets Calendonia. Despite the earlier-than-scheduled arrival of the British Calendonia at Newfoundland, the throng of specta- tors had swollen to thousands and cheered lustily when the silvery hull of the flying boat slipped into the calm blue waters of Botwood Harbor. A brilliant sun broke through the overnight haze as the Caledonia roared in from the seas and wheeled over Botwood, outpost in a pioneering that in a few months might bring time-table shuttling of the North At- lantic.

Spectators cheered loudly as the crew clambered into a cutter and started for shore. Engineer Frank Murphy immedi- ately started inspection of the plane in preparation for the last legs of its flight—to Montreal and Port Washing- ton, N. Y. If the plane is in good order it will fly to Montreal Thursday morn- ing. After final tests have been made and a non-passenger mail service has been flown successfully, the first trans-At- lantic passenger line on regular sched- ules will be established.
