CITIZENS POLITICS
S|zzLE IN RACE
FOR PRESIDENCY
Havenner and StengIe Are
Opposed for Federation
Leadership.
PRESENT EXECUTIVE
WANTS THIRD TERM
Candidates Discuss Plans of Cam
paign to Secure Cow
eted Post.

The political pot of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations began to sizzle
today as Dr. George c. Havenner, presi-
dent, announced his intention Of seek
ing third term and Charles I. Stengle
revealed his plans to oppose him.
Stengle already had quietly started
his campaign, awaiting an announce
ment from Dr. Havenner before publicly
making known his intention of running
for the federation's highest office. DR..
Havenner said he would conduct his
campaign by appearing before the vari-
ous citizens associations that invite
him and outlining the achievements OF
the federation during his administra-
tion.2
Plans Are Outlined.
Henry I. Quinn, prominent wash
trlRton lawyer who has been active IN
federation affairs has been named
chairman of Stengle's Campaign Com
mittee. He declared that already
great number Of delegates to the fed
Grafton had expressed desire to sup
port Stengle.
In seeking a third term, DR.. Haven
ner said his reelection would not es-
tablish a precedent, since three OF his
predecessors had been in office for three
years each. These were William NC
Kinley Clayton, who served in 1910,
1911 and 1912; william B. Westlake.
president of the federation in 1919,
1920 and 1921, and Charles A. Baker,
whose terms ran through 1922, 1928 and
1924.
Election November 8.
The two-cornered race for the fedora
ton presidency will continue until
November when the election will be
held. Both DR. Havenner and Stengle
will conduct active campaigns.
DR. Havenner will base his plea for
reelection on the accomplishments of
federation during his two-year regime.
Friends of Stengle say that they believe
he should be elected as a reward for
his work In the federation. which he
has served as chairman Of the Fiscal
Relations Committee and Is now serv-
ing as chairman of the local Suffrage
Committee, Stengle's friends also con-
tend that they believe that two terms
are sufficient for federation president
TO serve.
Stengle is a former member Of Con-
gress, representing Brooklyn, NY, in
the House. Since he left Congress, he
has been active in civic affairs both in
the federation and in the Petworth
Citizens Association which he repre-
sents in the federation.

CAPITAL WOMAN
FATALLY INJURED
Four Other Occupants Of Machine
Escape With Minor
Hurts.

Mrs Lulu ODer Phelps of 1910 1
street was injured fatally last night
near Baltimore, when the automobile
in which she was driving with hei
brother, her husband and her two young
children, was in a head-on collision
with another machine. The husband
Thomas E. Phelps, and the two chill
dren escaped with minor decorations, as
did Mrs. Phelps brother, Leonard Cos
wellin of 1343 L street.
Phelps returned early today and made
plans to take Mrs. Phelps body to her
former home at Eastern Shore, Md
for burial.
The Phelps family was returning to
Washington after a week end trip when
their automobile was in collision on
Baltimore Boulevard near Sulphur
Spring road with a machine driven,
police say, by Percival Stills, colored
postal employe of New York City.
Passing motorists carried the Wash
where Mrs. Phelps died early today.
Her children, Thomas E., jr., years
old. and Eugene w., year younger,
were treated there for slight cuts and
bruises.
Goswellin, who was driving the
Phelps machine, escaped without in
jury. as did Phelps and the operator
of the other car. The latter was or
dered held by Magistrate r. E. Staple
ton for an inquest Friday night in
Baltimore.
The colored man told police the head
lights OF the approaching machine had
blinded him. He said he did not know
the proximity of the other car until
1T was too late to avoid the crash.
Phelps, who is employed by a sand
blast concern here, was uncertain to-
day of his future plans. He expected
to remain at least several weeks with
relatives of his wife at Eastern Shore

GIRL CUT BY GLASS;
ESCORT HELD IN JAIL
Police Say Prisoner Gave Two Yer.
sions Of How Young Woman
Was Injured.

OF two versions which they credit to
her escort, police at least have been able
to assure themselves that Dorothea
Hart. colored, was cut by flying glass.
The l9-year-old Hart girl was treated
at Freedmen's Hospital early today for
several scalp decorations
She was brought there by James
Mobley. IS, colored, first block Of Flor
ida avenue northeast, who, police say,
at first attributed her injuries to an
automobile accident
The car overturned near HyattSyille,
Md, Mobley is quoted as having said,
and two other passengers crawled from
beneath the wreckage and disappeared.
Strangely enough, the wreckage, too,
had disappeared. Or at least that was
what police learned when they asked
Maryland authorities to get details of
the traffic accident.
Questioned further, Mobley is said TO
have admitted that. while the girl had
been cut by flying glass, 1t was flying
water glass which somehow got thrown
at her while Mobley was quarreling with
her.
The upshot is that Mobley is at No. 2
precinct until police can learn not so
much how the Hart girl got hurt as how
badly.

FOR GAS
LINE IS ASKED
Main Is Planned From Wash
ington Plant to Rock
vile.

The Washington Gas Light Co. to-
day applied to the Public Utilities Com
mission to lay a 12-inch main to con-
meet its east plant, at Eleventh and M
streets southeast to the main of the
Columbia Gas d. Electric Co., at Rock
vile. The main will be used to bring
natural gas to the company's east plant
where it will be mixed with the carbu-
retted water gas manufactured by the
local company and thence sent to the
company's customers.
The main for which permission is
asked leaves the company's plant and
travels out of the District by way of
Queens Chapel road northeast. Thence
1t sweeps in a large semi-circle west
ward through Wheaton, Md, 10 Rock
vile. where 1t will tap the Columbia
Co.'S natural gas main. The route was
chosen so as to travel through sparsely
settled territory, rather than to take
it through Washington, where the ex-
pense would be prohibitive.
The Public Utilities Commission for
warded the request to the co-ordinator's
office, where the requisite releases from
the various District department in
terested will be obtained. The gas COM
pany stated its desire to start digging
tomorrow or the day after although it
is not likely that the releases will be
ready by that time.

WARSAW, (By Inprecorr Press
Service)-The deputy Sharski spoke
on behalf of the Communist Seym
traction on the military draft law.
He declared that the Communist
fraction would vote against the
draft and at the same time derland
the reduction of the military service
period to 6 months.
Sharski then exposed the hypo-
critical policy of the Polish socialist
party and of the peasants party
which in fact supported the Polish
imperialist war preparations. He
described the ill-treatment and
bad food in the army, the increas-
ing circulation of revolutionary
soldiers newspapers and the inc, cas-
Iing incidents where soldiers took
the part of the workers against the
Jauthorities.
He was continually interrupted
by shouts and noise from the lour-
geois benches. He asserted the i'm
portanee Of the new law In the pres
cnt moment and declared that the
Polish bourgeoisie was. preparing
for war against the Soviet Union
where the workers enjoyed the seven
hour day whilst in Poland the work
ing day was from 8 in the best case
to II hours.
He then dealt with the interna-
tional anti-Soviet campaign, the
kutlepov affair, the papal Crusade
against Bolshevism," the German
Polish agreement, the open decla-
ration of the Polish government or
gan "Gaziyeta Polska," that at the
utmost only six months remained
for the final preparations. Sherski
then appealed to the working mas

wish to acquaint the comrades
with some Of my experiences in get
ting subs for the Daily Worker
l am touring the New England
states and I wish to say I am very
pleased with this work given to me
by the Party. First of all, it is a
pleasure to see the favorable re-
Spouse by the workers to our re-
volutionary organ the Daily Worker
furthermore, to come in contact with
the various clemens of the working
class, to see the growth of the
revolutionary movement, how the
workers look up to the party to
give them leadership, and they
would gladly follow. Never~before
did I realize the great Importance
and the Significance of this work
I simply feel I can carry the mes
sage Of Communism to the working
class through this work, therefore
don't mind the difficulties in
volved in it.
But it is not always encouraging
when you meet our so-called Ole
timers, who breed pessimism. They
will give you all the arguments
about the shortcomings in our
party, even such as why did they
send out little girl like me and
not a big husky instead, or telling
you about the present unemployment
situation therefore there is no use
Of trying to solicit Daily Worker
subs. These comrades fail to see
the readiness of the workers to sup
port the Daily Worker, their paper.
So you see, courage is really needed,
but as l said before, I don't mind
the troubles when there are prac-
teal results as these-in Lawrence

also three other towns that came
