buttons he totaled &i21. .7ol, he said,

FEDERATION ENDS
SEASON IN TUMUL7
Citizens Group Names Spe'
ciaI Body to Report in
Fall on Merger.

The Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions closed its 1927-Ie2s season last
night with another tumultous debate
ovs the proposed transit merger.
A resolution introduced by George
r. Wales. designer To put the fedora
ton on record as tndoTSing the House
District committees favorable report on
the pending merger legislation, started
the verbal pyrotechnics which resulted
finally In the commitment of the pro-
posal TO special committee for con-
sideration The committee will make
its report at the next federation meet
ing in the Fall
The argument on the resolution lasted
for more than an hour. At one stage OF
the proceedings several delegates made
bitter attack on William NICK. Clay
ton, chairman OF the public utilities
committee, charging him with exceed
ing the instructions given him in rep
resenting the federation before COM
mittees OF Congress during conSidera-
ton Of the merger plan.
Names Committee Of Five.
b. A. Bowles curtailed further debate
by moving the appointment of spe-
cial committee of five members To con-
slider the Wales resolution during the
Summer recess OF the federation. II
was adopted by vote Of 38 10 81.
President James q. Yaden appointed
Bowleg chairman of this committee
The other members are William q.
Henderson, Frank Van SAINT, Fred s.
Walker and David Babp.
William A. Roberts, vice chairman OF
the public utilities committee, charged
that the men named had been associat-
ed with the merger proponents and that
not one representative OF the group who
supported the federation's plan OF
merger had been placed on the COM
mittee. The federation adjourned i'm
fnediately. however, and there was no
discussion on this question.
Babp opened the attack on Clayton
and accused him Of advocating the ex-
clusion Of the Washington Rapid
Transit Co. from the proposed merger
In his testimony before the House Dis
trict committee, although the federation
had voted In favor Of the inclusion OF
the motor bus concern.
Waves Statement.
Clayton insisted that he did so al
an individual and not as representa-
tive Of the federation. George G
Havenner subsequently criticized Clay
ton and waved a statement which hs
said the utilities chairman had submit.
ted TO the Senate District committee
which contained views on the merger
not sponsored by the federation. "Thit
statement contains 10 points and tho
federation merger program listed only
IL points," declared Hayenner, "Whai
