HAT I 0UST ID
BY CITIZENS

J. Clinton. Hiatt. for many years
prominent In LOCAL civic circles, was
BUSTED last night as president OF the
Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton.
Hiatt was requested to resign, and
when he refused the association,
which was meeting at the Wilson
Normal School, adopted a resolution
declaring his office vacant.
The removal OF Hiatt followed the
report OF special committee
headed ny A. M. Edwards in regard
to eligibility members and officers
of the association.
Seven members who had been
elected to office at the April meeting
on HATS recommendation were de-.
clared ineligible for membership be-
cause they did not own property in
Columbia Heights.
Edwards committee charged that
they were fellow.employes of Hiatt
in the House document room. Mrs.
w. I. Swanton, wife of former
member of the Citizens Advisory
Council, made an impassioned speech
in defense OF Hiatt, placing the
blqme for the Irregularities upon
the membership committee.
