OATH TO COUNCIL
MAY Be ABOLISHED
Attack Stirs Doubt on Right
to Give Official Aspect to
Citizens Advisory Body.

The administered ton Of an informal
oath of office to members OF the Citi-
zens' Advisory Council, one OF the fac
tors which has given it a quasi official
status. may be stopped by the District
commissioners! as result or the
yelled attack on this body by Wash
ington's major trade organizations ana
the District Bar Association.
The question raised by the trade or
carnations as to the authority Of the
commissioners to delegate semi-of-
ficiaI mowers and responsibilities on
one group, it was indicated today at
the District Building, has made a deep
impression on the city heads, and IS
giving them considerable concern
The Commissioners themselves are
not quite certain. it seems, whether
they have legal authority to admin
lister an oath to semi-ohicial body
such as the council. which the trace
orga niZations point ont Is representa-
tive of hut a portion Of the citizenry
Of the District"
Legal View to Re Sought.
But they propose to definitely de-
termine this point before mapping out
a. course of action on the formal pro-
test made against the council, and
CORPORATION Counsel William w.
Bride is expected 10 he called upon
for a legal opinion within few days.
The Commissioners, however. do not
intend TO take any definite action on
the petition of the trade organiZa-
tionS until the Advisory Council is
given an opportunity to express its
views. James G. Yaden. chairma n
of the council. announced that no
plans have been made as yet to ap-
pear before the Commissioners TO an
swer the trade bodies. At an informal
nesting Of five members last night.
he said. the consensus was that the
council should not become involved
in the controversy at this time.
The Commissioners. on the other
hand, expect the council to make
some reply to the attack. Engineer
Commissioner William B. Iadue said
he wanted 10 confer with the council
before taking any step, and il the
members did not come to the District
Building seeking conference he like
ly would send for them.
Fear Results of Dispute.
No attempt was made by the Com
missioners TO conceal their concern
over lnt SDnL Indt has OCCuEfcu pC-
tween the trade organizations and the
council, and fear was expressed that
it probably would have serious effect
on the Districts legislative program
for the Forthcoming session of Con-
gress. In fact, Proctor l.. Dougherty,
chairman of the Board of Commission
ers. summarized this feeling in the fol-
lowing statement:
"All OF the Orga nizations have got
to get together or else the District
will be up against it on Capitol Hill. :"
While members of the council de-
clined TO discuss any phase of the at
tack of the trade rganizations, sew
eral of them pointed out that If Il
conference is held with the Commits
sioners. one of the first questions they
will ask is when and by what form
the six organizations named in the
petition submitted to the Commission
ers authorized their respective presi
dents to sign the documents.
