PARK SITES BILL
ACTION IS URGED
Members of House Commit
tee See Peril in Failing
to Buy Land.

That the House District committee
should press for action as soon as
possible in the House the bill author
IZing the purchase of the Piney
Branch. Klingle Valley and Patterson
tracts for parkway purposes was in
sisted upon by five or six members
of the House District committee at
the meeting today.
Representative Zihlman of Mary
land stated that the recommendation
of $6O0,O00 by the Budget Bureau to
he included in the District of Column
bia appropriation bill now being
framed is a serious reduction from
the $4,000 authorized in the act
wtrich created hte National Capital Park
Commission and that it really covers
4 two-year period.
Wants Liberal Policy.
Representative Underhill of Massa-
chusetts said he believed this $500. 600
was for other purposes in parkway
development than the acquiring OF
large tracts of additional land. He
urged that Congress should not be
parsimonious in authorizing the ac-
quisition of desirable tracts for park
way purposes around the National
Capital. He pointed out that the city
of Boston had spent more than $780,
100000 for its parks. and that they
had proved one of the greatest bless
jngs to the city.
Representative Blanton spoke in
opposition particularly to the pur-
chase of eight acres at Tiger bridge
on Sixteenth street, which, he said,
was in an inSanitary condition, and
he objected to it being purchased to
provide a better outlook for large
apartment developments in that sec
ton.
Called Important Link.
Representative Stalker of New York
nointed out that this was an impor-
tant connecting link in the parkway
system, and if it is in an insanitary
condition. that was all the more rea-
son why it should be beautifed.
Representatives. Gibson of Vermont,
" no is fathering this legislation, ex-
plained that he had been waiting be-
fore pressing this measure to see if
adequate appropriation would be car
ried in the regular District supply
bill.
Representative Gibson warned his
colleagues that the National Capital
Is far behind other great cities OF the
country in making adequate appro-
priation for the development of it's
park system.

DIR. Memminger. I'VE are regarded
as people of a soft and lazy disposi-

no teeth in it."
He said Atlanta ministers have
lapsed into a weakened attitude
and are missing a great opportunity
to become a strong influence in the

out firmly and demand strict enforce
ement of the prohibition law"
He asserted that whisky was being

RESTORES CLOSE
 SATURDAY NIGHTS?
Answer to Question Still Await
 ing Solution

The question as 10 whether or not the merchants have voted to close their stores on Saturday nights dur ing July and August and whether or not they want to close them the en- tire year at ?. m. Saturday, and 10 remain open until o'clock Friday evening, still seeks a solution.
 Although Chairman George H, Dyson declared the motion of 13 to 12 for Saturday closing during the two summer months, carried by ma jorty there are those who feel the majority was too small, others con- tend that several men had already left the room, others say the blow ing Of the noon whistles confused the motion and they were not sure what the question was. Be 1t what and Secretary Ralph l., Gould of the Chamber of Commerce is being bombarded with phone calls asking What was voted and why" or words 10 that effect.
 Then there are others who feel that if the vote Of 13 10 9 was car ried hy the majority, then the previ- ous motion for all the year around closing Saturday nights, which was carried by vote of 16 to II, should have been decided the same way.
 But Secretary Gold says 1t is nec- essary that somebody should know what is what and iC so why. so he has resorted in desperation to a referendum and Monday ques- tionnaire will go out to every mer- chant asking him cast his vote on the questionnaire or at least indI- cate his desire. Then it Is likely another will be held. In the mean time the situation Is "as was"
