ASKS Street WORK
Citizens Association Lists
Repairs Called Necessary
in Section.

Responding to the request made by
H c. whitehurst. commissioner OF
highways for the District Of Columbia,
to list all minor street improvements
needed in its area, the Chillum Heights
Citizens Association met last night at
the Keene School to draw up a letter
listing street repairs wanted in that
section
What that area needs most. the group
agreed, Is the installation OF a sewer
system. Members discussed the growth
OF the community In recent years ano
were Of the opinion that now is the
time when sewers are needed more in
that area than at any other time in
its history. 1t was shown how much
greater the expense would be II install
lation Of sewers was delayed until other
Improvements had been made and the
community had increased in population.
One member cited instances during
heavy rains where 1t was actually pos
sible to float boat in the streets.
Another important improvement
needed in that section, the group de-
cided, is the proper grading and paving
of Concord avenue between New Hamp-
shire and Kansas avenues. 1t was
pointed out that the soil taken from
Concord avenue in this work could be
used to advantage in filling in the holes
around the new Joseph r. Keene
School Building which will soon be
ready for use. Concord avenue, mem
bers said. is now used by too much
traffic for it to remain in its present
state.
Other work the association asked for
in the letter includes the resurfacing Of
a cinder sidewalk on the north side
Of Kennedy street from Second street
northwest to First street northeast; the
opening 70 North Capitol street from
Rock Creek Church road to Concord
avenue In order to relieve trafic on
Blair road. and the installation Of a
sidewalk on the east side Of North
Capitol street from Kennedy to Con-
cord streets so that the danger of
children walking In the street at this
point would be eliminated.
The body also directed its secretary
to send a letter to the commander OF
the sixth precinct asking for police
protection Of children going to and
from the Keene School. 1t was said
that neighborhood were too young to
handle traffic, especially as cars that
far out in the District usually travel
at higher rate Of speed than In the
downtown section.
Members did not voice their opinion
on liquor control, but decided to wait
until the next meeting, at which time
that the schoolboy patrols stationed in
this question would be studied.

100 Pan.American Delegates
Engage in Preliminary
p Conversations. sH
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MONTEV1DEO, Uruguay, December
2.-One hundred delegates, including
10 foreign ministers, representing the
republics Of North, Central and South
America. engaged in conversations to-
day preparatory to the opening tomor-
row Of the Pan-American Conference.
A banquet last night at the hotel
occupied by Secretary Of State Hull and
the United States delegation gave in
dications Of a closer understanding be-
tween the two North American repub-
lies Of Mexico and the United States.
Foreign Secretary Puig Casauranc
and the members of the Mexican dele
CATION were the guests. The appar-
emily social function served to allav
rumors Of q purported spanish-Amer-
lean bloc which was said in certain
quarters to include Mexico. Cuba and
Haiti.
Chaco War Problem.
1t was freely admitted that the most
din1cult problems which the conference
would face were those Of the Chaco
War between Bolivia and Paraguay
and the monetary and debt situation.
An increasing pressure was seen
among the delegates to be crystalhzing
on behalf of peace in the Chaco, but
whether the ticklish subject would
ever reach the floor Of the conference
hall was conjectural.
Two points started the Chaco sub
ject rolling among the delegates; one
was DR.. Puig Casauranc's proposal that
Bolivia and Paraguay declare a truce
for the period of the conference, and
the other was Hulls informal sugges-
ton that all delegations work on be-
half Of settlement.
Both the Mexican and United States
secretaries of state feel that the best
approach to the Chaco subject is by
pursuasion of the various foreign min
listers outside the conference chambers
on the subject. thus preventing long
ands probably fruitless wrangle in
plenary sessions.
Nations Represented.
The nations whose foreign ministers
are personally in attendance are the
United States, Mexico, Chile. Argen-
tina. Brazil. Paraguay. Nicaragua,
Guatemala. Panama and Uruguay.
Secretry Hull took up the problems
Of economic depression, peace, and red
tape in a series of informal visits with
foreign ministers yesterday.
He called on them unannounced and
in gray street clothes, urging them to
dispense with formalities and to act,
like one large family. with one mind.
thought and purpose. He recon-
mended that formalities be dispensed
with so that work cut out for the
parley could be dispatched
Mr. Hull urged the foreign ministers
TO disregard minor matters in order to
take up problems Of raising the prices
Of domestic commodities and exports.

President Distrusts Poll.
ticians Even in Inner
Circle.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TT Is an open secret at the White
House that the President has grown
distrustful of>the politicians even
i in his own inner circle.
Certain unmentionable instances
have aroused his suspicious recently.
Doubt has been raised in his mind as
to how far he can count on some OF
his own followers Also, as to how
much disinterested devotion can be
expected from some of his ofacials.
1t is not entirely the money policy.
The break in the cloistered circle on
that point is only a minor part Of it.
Far more important is the evidence that
some of his associates have personal
ambitions of their own. Also, that
they intend to lock out for their own
welfare-not his.
VIII Depend on Friends

scribed more politely by saying Mr..
Roosevelt is determined from here on
