Likely During Voting Washington, Oct. 2 () A hands-off policy in the elections for the Haitian congress October 14 was announced today by the state de- partment. o The department's pronouncement | was in the form of a statement, al- | ready fssued in Haiti by the office of the American high commissioner. It asserted American activities in Haiti are covered by the treaty of 1915 and subsequent agreements, none of which provides for Ameri- | can assistanca in elections. Text of Statement It said: “The various pglitical factions in Haiti having urgdd the holding of congressional elections, Presiden Eugene Roy, who was chosen by these factions as a neutral president for this purpose, has decided to hold congressional elections on October 14 next. These elections will be held to elect/15 senators and 36 deputies. “The United States government's activities in Haiti are covered by the treaty of 1915 and subsequent proto- cols for agreement. None of these provides for the United States lend- ing assistance at any elections. “Consequently, the United States will exercise no supervision over the elections and will pot instruct its of- ficials in ‘Haiti to assume responsi- bility in any way in the holding of said elections. “The, matter is entirely a Haitian affair and the United States govern- ment and all the United States offi- clals in Haiti have been instructed {to maintain a strictly neutral atti- tude and not to indicate by word or deed a preference for any individual. Military Not Involved | “The garde of Haiti, Haitian po- lice force commanded in part by American officers, will not partici- pate in the elections in any way unless called upon by the election officials to preserve order in the vi- cinity of the voting booths. “On election day all members of the United States fgrces on duty in Haiti (Cape Haitien And Port Au Prince) will be maintained in bar- racks. Any disorders will be handled in the usual manner by the garde of Haiti as a Haitian police force.” STOL Constable Un discovered last night which and left there.

The board of adjustment voted last night to grant the appeal of George Preston, owner of the weld- ing cpmpany, from the refusal of the building inspector to issue a cer- tificate of occupancy. The board ruled that the law was ‘in favor of Preston, although the surrounding property owners had a grievance against the noise of the apparatus and the discomfort caused them by the flashing glare of arc welding machines. Attorney John F. Downes, representing Preston, pointed out that the board of adjustment was not concerned with the alleged nui- sance and the remonstrants had other means of relief.
