VOICED BY CITIZENS
Manor Park Declares Sec
ton Is consistently Over
looked by Authorities.

Declaring that school needs OF
Manor Park section have been con-
sistently overlooked" by public school
authorities, H. S. Bryant, chairman OF
the schools Committee of the Manor
park Citizens Association, advised the
group to appeal directly to Congress
for funds to complete the community
school program.
Bryant told members of the aSSocia-
ton meeting last night in the WHITTIER
School that the budget as submitted py
the Board of Education provides only
10 rooms and gymnasium as an adol-
ton to the Paul Junior High Scnool,
while 10 more rooms and another gym
nasium are called for.
Ernest Pullman, W. H. Seaquist and
John D. Smoot, the last named formerly
president of the group, agreed with
Bryant and pointed out that the aSso-
citation was successful last year in OBJ
tanning funds for an addition to the
whittier School, bids for which are to
be opened at the District Building
today
Pullman said $4,000 would be saved
BY completing the Paul School Build
ing at the present time. and added that
he thought the group would nave
nothing to lose and everything TO
gain" in asking Congress for the addi-
tional sum.
The Legislative Committee of the as
ISOLATION was directed to attend today's
Senate District Committee hearing on
the modification of the Borland law.
The group favors repeal OF the measure.

If you could look into your mouth with micro.

Before the gargle you would see millions and

DISTRICT TRASH
To Be BARRED

be a dumping ground for trash
and rubbish from the District of
Columbia, if an ordinance now

chester, county health officer,
and commonwealth's attorney w.
C. Cloth is adopted by the Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors at its
meeting on August 20.
The use Of large areas Of land
at the south end of the Highway
Bridge for dumping trash, most
of which comes from the District
Of Columbia, has been scored by
practically every civic organiza.
tion in the county on the grounds
that 1t is a waste Of land and a
menace to the public health.
Under the ordinance loads Of
trash from the District will not
be permitted to pass eSSn
through the boundaries of the
county. This will mean that the
new dump opened just across the
county line in the city Of Alex
andria will not be permitted to
receive trash from the District,
as all roads leading there pass
through Arlington county.

HooUer; Roosevelt Compete In Efforts
To SoIue Unemployment Problem

ITO work out his program, but
this geographic restriction is also
an advantage in that it permits
q greater concentration of ef-
fort. There is the additional con-
sideratiOn that the State has
greater freedom Of action in wei
fare legislation than the Federal
Government.
Both the President and the
Governor have hostile legislatures
to contend with. Unemployment
relief in the present emergency,
however, cuts across party lines
to such an extent that 1t is
probable both Mr.. Hoover and
Mr.. Roosevelt will be able to OBJ
tain legislative approval for any
program within reason.
Neither Wants Dole
Neither MIR. Hoover nor MIR.
Roosevelt favOrs an unempIOy.
ment dole as that system has
been applied abroad. Roosevelt,
however, is friendly to the idea
of State unemployment insurance,
q proposal which so far has re-
ceived q chilly reception in Ad.
ministrati0n circles here. Since
Roosevelt has been Governor,
and with his approval, New York
has adopted an old age pension
system.
Details of Governor Roosevelt's
program will be known within a
few days. President Hoover has
taken the first step in his pro-
gram by appointing another COM
mission headed by Walter S. Gif-
ford, president of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany.

Police said today that the two
dead bandits had been in trouble
before and went about heavily
armed. They were captured by
State troopers at EsopuS. N. Y,
after they entered q dance hall

place last October. At the time

President Hoover planned to

task of directing this years pro-
gram for aiding the jobless, and
Fred S. Croxton, acting chairman
of the Presidents emergency COM
mittee on unemployment for the
past few months. Croxton will
act as Gifford's assistant.

Until Monday morning, the
three men will give their atten-
ton to o Set-up designed to care
for the 100000 men and women

Clifford has appealed publicly to

without a Parallel
It is believed to be a situation
without parallel in American his
tory in which the two leading
presidential candidates have un-
dertaken to solve the same press
ing ecohorcic problem simultane-

Restrictions imposed by their
respective offices tend to equalize
the conditions of competition.
President Hoover has the entire
nation in which to work out his
program. He has an opportunity
to popularize himself with the
voters of 48 States if his plan
succeeds. BY the same token
he has the same territory from
which to harvest resentment and

yesterday afternoon with a hold
up in East 1874 Street, in which
