The lackadaisical reaction of the

Klan Plane Flies
Over Hyattsville
Drops Ku Klux Literature
Denying RumOr of Parade
In Negro Section.

HTATTSNILLE. Md. Marcn 12.-
about noon today. when many
churChgoers and others were on the
street. an airplane flooded the
town with ku KluX Klan literature.
This aerial distribution of a small
pamphlet. telling of the nature Of
the klan. is thouCht to be a dem
Onstration against the withdrawal
Of the KIan's permit to parade.
This permit was recently granted
by the city authorities, but later
withdrawn because Of the public
sentiment against such demon
stratiOn.
The opposition was chiefly based
upon the fact that masked men"
were to parade the streets of
Hyattsville. In view OF this oppc-
sition the klan offered to cancel its
parade, saying that the parade
would not be held on March II as
planned, but some time in the near
future. The rumor that the klan
would parade in the negro settle
ment of Hyattsville was emphatic
ally denied in the pamphlets
dropped.
The airplane approached Hyatts-
willie from the direction of Wash
ington and left flying northward.
Soon after it's arrival the town was
flooded with Ku Klux klan litera-
ture The propaganda was dropped
for the most pert about the center
OF the business district near johnson
and Maryland avenues. The air
plane flew so low. according to wit
nesses. that it was barely ten feet
above the buildings.

ADMIRAL BENSON
URGES FAIR DEAL
IN WORLD TRADE
Declares U. S. Must Meet
Conditions in Spirit .
OF Compromise.

Americas best hope for main
tanning world peace lies in conduct
ing it's commercial relations with
competitive nations on a fair and
just basis" Admiral william S. Ben
son declared yesterday in an ad-
dress to the Georgetown Univer
sity Union.
The United States must utilize
international contact for world
peace Admiral Benson insisted,
"by trying to so conduct its rela-
tions and business as to give the
other fellow a fair chance" there
by helping to do away with the
old order OF commercial rivalry.
which he declared to be the real
cause of most wars.
Moral Ideas Improving.
But there. is point beyond
which national dignity and self-re-
spect cannot CO." he warned, al
though he indicated that this coun-
try must expect to meet world trade
conditions in spirit OF comprc-
mise.
Admiral Benson expressed tke
opinion that the day is comm z
when commercial rivalry as 4 cause
of war will be a thing of the past
seeing hope for this in the fact
that the moral ideas of the world
are improving"
Discussing the future OF the
American merchant marine, Admi
raj Benson stressed its importance
to the nation as secondary line
Of naval defense and as the chief
agency through which the surplus
goods Of America can be sold.
We have touched the low-water
mark OF depression. he pointed out.
and from now on it is to be hoped
that trade conditions will be
brighter.
Mafntains Trade Routes.
Under the future development of
the merchant marine. Admiral Ben
son predicted. the United States not
only expects to hold it's own In
world trade. but to do little bet
ter" and for this reason the gov
eminent is maintaining additional
trade routes at tremendous expense
so as to meet the needs of private
owners. American trade must look
for future expansion. he declared
in the Far East. South and Central
America, and South Africa.

CIyItan Club Protests.
Use Of branch libraries of the
District by both white and cOlOred
children was denounced at spe-
cial meeting of the board of gov
ernOrs of the Civitan club. it was
announced yesterday.
The action Of the Board Of Edu-
cation was described by the Civitan
governors as vicious and detri-
mental to the interests Of both
white and cOlored and. in the opin-
ion Of the club. any attempt to put
this order into effect would be pro-
NOCative of violent dissepsiOns and
disorder.
Resolutions Adopted.
4 resolution was adopted which
called attention to the fact that
Congress has provided for schools
in a manner that permits the ad-
mission of white children only to
schools established for them. and
for cOlored children only to schools
esta blished for them. This resOlu-
ti0n also states that the Board Of
Education by its action has indi-
Gated its intention of eventually re-
moving all racial barriers with a
view to having mixed schools in the
District at some future time.
The resolution reads in part: The
board OF directors of the Civitan
club of Washington hereby ex-
presses its most intense indignation
over. and most severely denOunCes.

tiOn as now constituted. and goes

posed to any attempt. however the
