LEGISLATION NEEDED
FOR DRAIN PROJECT
Hillcrest Citizens Told by Sanitary
Engineer Way in Which Exten-
sion Could Be Obtained.

The Hillcrest Citizens Association at
a meeting in the East Washington
Heights Baptist Church last night was
advised through communication from
j. B. Gordon, sanitary engineer of
Washington, that the only way the
OXon Run drainage project could be
brought under the jurisdiction of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission, as desired, would be through
legislation passed by the Maryland State
Legislature.
E. G. Lashlee introduced a resolution,
which was adopted, giving the presi-
dent of the association power to APP
point committee to confer with the
District Committee on Unemployment.
1t was suggested by Mr.. Lashlee that
the committee recommend the pick,
shovel and wheelbarrow method of re-
pairing the many unconditional streets
instead of the present method of using
tractors and trucks. This, he explained,
would greatly relieve the unemployment
situation now existing in this city.
Announcement was made by Morris
Hacker, supervisor of city refuse,
through communication, that ashes
would now be collected on Thursdays.

SOVIET SEEKING
STATE WORKERS
Offers Special Privileges to
/ Peasants and Farmers to
Enter Industry.
nv the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, July 1.-The government
moved today to attract more workers to
industry by offering special privileges
and inducements to individual peasants
and collective farmers to enter the Serv-
ice of the state.
A Joint decree, issued by the Central
Executive Committee and the Council
Of Peoples Commissars, provides GER
tain concessions for those who will con-
tract to leave the land and work in the
lumber, fishing, transport and construc-
ton industries and on state farms.
Confronted by the growing shortage
of labor in industry on one hand, and,
on the other. by the increasing mechan-
ization of farms, which reduces the
amount of manpower needed to operate
them, the government Is resorting to
this means as step to further the "518"
phase of the flve-year plan. That
phase calls for the completion of 518
Industrial plants In 1881.
The government offer frees such
workers from various fees now assessed,
including the agricultural tax. The
fare to and from the places Of new oc-
cupation, to supply proper housing, to
give families that leave the farm the
same privileges now enjoyed by the fam
flies of industrial workers and to en-
title the farmer to return to the land
on the same basis on which he left aft
er his contract has been fulfilled.
The present agrarian system of Russia
Is divided into three parts-individual
farmers, the number of whom Is dwin-
ding rapidly: collective farmers, who
produce on a cooperative basis, and
state farmers, who work on government
land on a piece work basis

SUCCESSOR TO HINDENBURG
IS BIG GERMAN PROBLEM
Retirement of Beloved Leader
Next Year Turns Thought
to Candidates.
81 = Year Old President
Wishes to Spend Declining
Years on Country Estate.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July Who will be
President of Germany when the Octo-
generian Field Marshal Paul Won Hin
denburg's Office expires May IL, 1882?
Where Is the man who in force Of
character, integrity and ability can
match the present chief of state, and
can command the universal respect and
confidence which he enjoys?
The question Is beginning to agitate
the public mind. "Our Hindenburg," as
Germans call him affectionately, has
come to be regarded as something like
a permanent institution. But he will
be 81 years old next October, and it
Is reasonable to suppose that retire
ment, from which he came at Kaiser
Wilhelm's bidding II years ago, is now
due him.
Wishes to Retire.
The Presidents personal feelings are
fairly well known. Often enough has
he intimated that he was looking for
ward to the time when he would be free
to spend the last few years Of his life
in the rural quiet of his estate of Neu-
deck in East Prussia.
But such is his devotion to duty that,
should national appeal be made to
AAAAAA w 1Ck1luAAi Alt Ol1ASG 1OL OAlC dV1lCk -
lands sake, there is little doubt that
he would respond to the call and take
up the burden again, unless, of course,
his health should be so greatly impaired
as to make continuance in Office i'm
possible. OF that there is no present
sign. The President attributes his re-
markable health and vigor to hard work
and plain living; especially to having
eaten rye bread ever since his youth.
There are two possibilities. There Is
a considerable movement afoot to ask
Won Hindenburg to accept the presi-
dency for life. Another section of pub
lie opinion, equally averse to a change
In these disturbed times, favors extern
sion Of the presidential term by one or
two years.
Has No Enemies.
OF personal enemies the President
has none. That Is not to say that he
has no political adversaries. Radicals
of the Right and Left have often at
tackled Won Hindenburg. He is get

The candidacy of Reichsbank Presi-
dent Hans Luther, twice chancellor of
the Reich, would, 1t Is believed, secure
a large number of adherents. He Is
81, and although an enrolled member
Of the Peoples party, is generally re-
garded as non-party man. His quail
fications are that he Is very able
administrator and very conscientious.
His predecessor as chief Of the Reichs-
bank. DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, Is also
mentioned as possibility.
DR.. Otto Gessler, another ex-defense
minister, is favorite of the Centrist
group. He Is a Roman Catholic and Is
said to have the confidence Of wide
circles Of the middle parties.

known that in loyalty to Won Hinden-
burg he will not compete with him for
presidential honors.
Well wishers Of Germany are united

The campaign would be fierce and re-
lentless, and would shake the father
