HOOVER PAMPHLET
AGAIN ASSAILED
Ohio Democratic Women Protest
Likening President to Wash
ington as Propaganda.

The General Federation of Women'S
Clubs drew further criticism yesterday
for its issuance of the now famous
pamphlet depicting President Hoover as
another George Washington, when the
newly organized Federated Democratic
Women of Ohio, in session at Column
bus, adopted a resolution publicly pro-
testing against it as "distasteful propa-
ganda'
Recently the Maryland State Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs condemned the
pamphlet, which is the work OF the
Federation's Bicentennial Committee, OF
which Mrs John F. Sippel, national
president, is chairman. Before then
various leaders in the federation We're
critical of the pamphlet but Mrs. Sippel
refused to withdraw It.
The Ohio women, in the resolution
adopted yesterday, said the parallel
so clearly lends itself to partisan in
depreciation 1t is certain 10 be dis
tasteful to large numbers OF loyal club
women. This protest Is issued as
warning to women who belong to sup
posedly non-partisan organizations not
to permit themselves to become propa-
gandists.'
Mrs Sippel had explained that the
Bicentennial pamphlet was not issued
for political purposes although she adj
mitted reluctantly at the time that the
nature of the booklet was such as to
lend itself to that Interpretation. Com
narison was made between Hooyer's
and Washington's public utterances. she
said. SO as to impress new citizens with
the fact that American traditions are
being upheld. The pamphlet contained

PLAN OF REMOVING
PARKWAY DELAYED
Further Study Decided Upon After
Residents Petition Opposing
Proposal.

The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission yesterday decided that
further study should be given the pro-
posed removal or reduction in size of
the strip of parkway south of the Taft
Bridge, in the 1900 black Of Connecti-
cut avenue This action followed the
filing of protests of residents in that
area and their friends, who presented a
petition to the commission, urging that
the parkway be maintained intact and
not removed as a traffic menace, as
ordered by Federal and District officials.
The commission is of the belief that
as it stands the parkway strip is a
traffic hazard but thinks closer study
should be given the problem.
Capt E. N. Chisolm, IT,, the commits
sion's engineer, today explained its at
titude, as follows:
The commission is not yet satisfied
that either the adopted plan (for re-
moval of the parkway strip entirely or
any other plan suggested which has
been before the commission, would be
satisfactory enough to justify being put
into effect The commission believes
that modification should be made and
that 1t should be further studied be-
fore any decisive action is taken.'
The commission spent d good share
OF the morning in examining prospec-
tive land purchases for park and play
ground development. In accordance
with its practice, however, no informa-
ton was divulged on this subject,

Winston and Newell at EIks
Hall Wednesday

Approximately $50 members Of the
Independent Grocers Alliance from
North Dakota and eastern Montana
attended a banquet given by the
Winston and Newell company at the
Elks hall Wednesday evening.
The banquet was one of q series
given for grocer members In the COM
pany territory which embraces six

j. G. Oberg, manager Of the local
branch Of Winston and Newell, pre-
sided at the dinner which was held

chandising program Of the associa-
ton was discussed at length by rep
lesentatives of the main office at
Minneapolis.
Special music was provided with
vocal numbers being sung by Henry
~Iaalverson and George Humphreys as
well as a number Of feature songs by
q musical team from Dickinson.
Senator James p. Cain, Stark coun-
ty, was the guest speaker of the we
ming. He elaborated on the potential
tiles Of group buying and pointed out
that independent merchants through
cooperation. could compete with any
organization in the world, however
large. The greatest single asset OF
the independent merchant, said Sem
ator Cain, is his personality. It is an
asset which is denied the chain store
and he must be prepared to capital
izc 1t by selling himself to the con-
sumner.
Following the banquet, r. G. Harri-
son, vice president Of Winston and
Newell, presided at a conference
where the policies Of the alliance were
discussed. Plans for the promulga-
ton OF the annual spring merchan-
