INDEPENDENT IN
D.A.R.RETIRES

Mrs. Charles White Nash, Of New
York, independent candidate for
president general Of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, for
mally withdrew from the race "by
request" today in the interest of
harmony, thus leaving the field
clear for Mrs. Alfred J. Brosseau,
OF Greenwich, Conn.,, the admins
tration's coalition" candidate.
Mrs. Nash's announcement, made
during the morning session after
several reports Of committees had
been read, livened things up con-
siderably and there was an immedi-
ate hum of voices throughout the
filled auditorium. She was greeted
by an ovation when she resumed
her seat.
Right on top of Mrs. Nash's
| withdrawal, Mrs. Brosseau made
public the completed ticket for her
cabinet.
Mrs. Nash's Statement
Mrs. Nash said:
1T is as the nominee of New
York State Daughters Of the Ameri-
can Revolution for the office Of
president general that I come be-
fore this congress asking your in
diligence at this time
Upon reaching Washington last
Thursday as, believe, the only
regularly announced candidate for
the highest office in our society, I
heard rumors, which later were
confirmed as facts, that another
candidate was being brought for
ward. She is woman who by
ability and experience is ably fitted
to fill the office sought. We had
been friends and co-workers on the
national board of management for
the past three years.
"At this time when absolute har-
mony and cooperation are neces-
sary for accomplishment of the
great work ahead there should
be no disharmony nor antagonisms
occasioned by political divisions.
Office seeking at that cost is small
indeed.
$50 it is that with the consent
Of those who sponsored me as the
official representative of their State
and mine that 1 withdraw my name
as a candidate for the office of
president general and release those
who have believed sufficiently in

CHIEFS
CAN'T AGREE

Further conferences between the
Traffic Director, Chief Of Police
and the Traffic Council of the Dis
trict win be necessary before any
changes can be made In the regu.
lations, the District Commissioners
announced today.
Several suggestions, all Of which
differed materially, were made by
Eldridge, Hesse and George w.
Offutt, tr., representing the coun-
Gil, at a lengthy hearing in Com
missioner Jennings office.
Eldridge and Hesse were both
ordered to continue the conferences
which were to have been held dur
ing the past week.
It took the members Of the coun.
ell but a few minutes to make
known to the city heads their
ideas Of what should be done to
reduce the large number of arrests
In the District for traffic law vio-
lations.
It was plainly indicated that
Eldridge and Hesse failed to come
to any kind Of an understanding
during the week since they were
asked by the Commissioners to pro-
duce some kind Of a traffic plan.
Eldridge had prepared several pages
of report upon which he and Hesse
could not agree, 1t was understood.

Failure of the District Commits

Immediate jurisdiction should be
given to the, juvenile court In all
cases Of delinquency involving
youths under II years Of age, and
the judge Of the Juvenile court
should have some form Of proba-

D. c. ASKS VOICE
IN CONGRESS

Studiously non-committal recep-
ton of appeals for representation Of
the District of Columbia in the Ma
tional Congress featured the open
ing of hearings today before the
House Judiciary Committee on the
Dyer resolution to grant Congress
the power to give the District one
or two Senators and as many mem.
bers of the lower House as the
census would authorize.
Although there was a fairly full
attendance Of members of the COM
mittee, only two or three Of them
questioned the two proponents Of
the bill who spoke, and the Ques-
tons indicated neither favor nos
opposition for the measure.
e. c. Brandenburg, former presi-
dent of the Board of trade, and
Paul e. Lesh, attorney, spoke ON
behalf Of the Joint Citizens Com
mittee, which is sponsoring the
measure. Theodore w. Noyes,
chairman of the committee, ex-
planned some Of Mr.. Brandenburg
figures, Mr.. Lesh was speaking
when the committee adjourned un-
til 10 a. m. tomorrow.
Both of the speakers recited the
history of the foundation Of the
District, and stressed the amount
of taxes paid by District citizens
and the Districts contributions in
men and money in war time, as
compared with States which have
representatives in Congress.
I'VE do not want to take the Dis
trict from the nation" Mr.. Lesh
said, "but we want to make the
District a part of the nation"
G. w. Ayers. an opponent of the
measure, asked time for himself
and three or four others to speak
against the resolution. He was as
sured by Chairman Graham that
he would be heard.
