COMMISSION HITS
ACTION Of CITIZENS
Utilities Group Declares
Facts Were Ignored in Adop-
tion of Resolutions.

The Public Utilities Commission, 1t
was disclosed yesterday, has censured
the Citizens Association of Takoms
Park. D. c., for adopting two resolutions
on utilities questions allegedly without
ascertaining the facts.
The disclosure was made in copies of
letters sent to the association. submit
ted to Chairman Norton Of the House
District Committee by Maj. Gen. Ma
son M. Patrick, chairman Of the COM
mission.
One Of the commissions letters to
the association concerned q resolution
relating to commission order provid-
ing for reduction in telephone rates,
which was appealed to the courts. The
commission charged that this resolu-
ton was adopted apparently without an
investigation to ascertain the facts. The
letter read In part:
Our counsel communicated with Mr.
George Sullivan. chairman Of the Pub
lie Utilities Committee, and made sew
eral appointments for him for the pur-
pose Of informing him of the exact
status Of the case. However, Mr.. Sui
Ivan did not see At to keep these ap-

been possible to make known the facts

would not knowingly disseminate mis-
leading information Of such vital i'm
portance to the public, and it is diff

minds Of many uninformed parties
such statements, when once issued. II
would seem to be only fair to ask that
unusual care be taken to ascertain the
facts before such resolutions are acted
upon"

resolution relating to q proposed
amendment to the public utilities act

out Of His Fathers house which they
had turned into . den Of thieves"
Taking former Gov. Smith to task,
as he had done previously at q mass
meeting protesting against recognition
Of Russia, Father Walsh said:
Recognition Of the Soviet Union Is
not . question Of repudiated debts or
oOnfiscated property or Communists on
soap boxes in Union Square, as that
distinguished tribune of the people,
Alfred Z. Smith, vtsualizes."
Mr.. Smith exercises q well-merited
influence In this country and his opin-
ion on domestic policies commands the
confidence Of q very wide constituency
Of Catholics, Protestants and Jews.
But feel obligated to assure you that
his Russian views are not shared by
that great majority Of Americans Of
his own faith who see eye to eye with
him In most other respects"
DR.. Walsh contended only three
courses are open to the American Gov
ernment with respect to Russia. The
first, he said, Is honorable recognition, :"
by which he meant reciprocal relations
after proof Of Moscov's willingness to
desist from the unethical, the illegal
and utterly unacceptable hostility to
non Communist states"
The second course, he said, Is dis
honorable recognition" on Russia's own
terms, with no conditions or reser-
vations except the guarantee Of a sub
stantiaf loan. THE third course" he
closed. would be simply continued nom
recognition as Americas answer to the
continuance, under Soviet auspices and
direction, Of the Third Internationale. i"

RAIL BILL OPPOSED
BY LABOR GROUP
Fears Legislation Would Put
Thousands of Workers
in Bread Lines.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the A8goClateQ Freee.
A statement opposing the railroad
legislation that has been drafted for
transmission to Congress by President
Roosevelt was issued yesterday by the
Railway Labor Executives Association.
I'VE see no justification for drastic
reductions Of essential transportation
service in order that unearned interest
may be paid on idle capital" the state
Of railway workers would be placed in
the bread lines by such action.
If we have reached the end of
railroad competition, we have arrived
at the necessity for immediate, COM
plete and direct public control" 1t
was declared.
Communities shippers and employees
threatened with 1rrcparable losses,
should be able to prevent the passaEe
Of such q law Is now proposed.
But at least the organized railway
employees will do all within their power
to have written into any new law
adequate protection for approximately
1000, 900 workers dependent for liveli-
hood upon the railroads and allied
transportation services.
We shall insist that unemployed
workers be given more tender consid-
eration than unemployed capital. We
shall insist that this intolerable de-
fiation Of labor by cutting down jobs
and wages, deepening the depression
American life, must stop.
Those who assume responsibility for
taking away employment must accept
the obligation to provide employment or
support for the men they force into
idleneSs."

port in Lecture.

Dr.. Edmund A. Walsh. 3. j., Nce
president of Georgetown University and
regent Of the School Of Foreign Service,
in bringing to close last night q
series Of 10 public lectures dealing with
Communism, reviewed arguments in
volved in the question Of the recogni-
ton Of the Soviet Union.
He again criticised former Gov. Alfred
E. Smith Of New York for the latter
advocacy Of recognition Of Russia for
trade reasons Referring to the farm
mortgage revolt, he declared the attack
on a Judge by . mob Of Iowa farmers
served not only as "a warning to the
Government ITSELF" but also to selfish
trade interests who would bring relief
to q hostile Soviet government by bar
tering public welfare for private gain.
Speaks Of Farmer Plight.
Speaking of the plight Of Western
farmers in contrast With efforts Of
money changers" to gain trade with
Russia through recognition, the educa-
tor and priest said:
Let the farmers Of Iowa be cast into
the ditch. let their tender babes and
exhausted wives. find whatever shelter
the open prairies may AFFORD. Let
American workmen be further penal
lied by unfair competition II only those
sacred profits be assured to the money
changers.
May we not devoutly pray that be-
fore 1t be too late public opinion may
scourge these false prophets from the
temple. even as a gentle Christ drove

Sues Town For
Her Homestead

Marshfeld.-The lone occupant
of the historic house built by Cap
tain Peleg Thomas in 1880 on a hill
where he could gaze at his beloved
sea, disclosed a strange bargain be-
tween Mrs. Mary ]. Thomas, Is,
and the town of Marshfeld, where
by she was to have received SIS a
week for the rest of her life in ex-
change for the Thomas homestead.
Mrs. Thomas filed a bill in equity
IN Plymouth Superior Court, seek
ing the return of her property from
the town because of a violation of
an oral agreement made between
herself and a selectman, now dead,
Mrs. Thomas, whose husband was
descended from William Thomas.
a merchant adventurer of 1920.
who settled at Marshfeld in 1851,
made an agreement Feb. 2, 1929,
with the late William L. Sprague.
a selectman of the town, whereby
she decided the Thomas homestead
20 SPrague, representing the town,
in exchange for SIS a week for the
rest of her life, together with the
towns obligation to maintain the
homestead in good repair as a sort
of Colonial museum.
The fortunes of the Thomases
had waned during the latter years
of their almost 800 years of resi-
dence in Marshfleld and Mrs.
Thomas could hit upon no other
than to deed the house away to the
Town.
At the time the bargain was
made Selectman Sprague is alleged
to have expressed great satisfac-
ton inasmuch as the location o.
the homestead affords the finest
view of the sea in the town, a site
chosen on the Thomas acres by q
shipmaster on his retirement. Ths
Thomas acres, 100, still stretch GU.
to their original boundaries, it wa.
stated, just as they were in 1851
The deed given to Sprague wa:
placed in the towns archives, i,
was stated by Town Clerk Ed
mund Baker, but nowhere on ths
town records can a vote of the
town meeting ~ratifying the ora
agreement be found.

Immediate education in the tart
Of drinking was urged by DR..
William Muhlberg of Cincinnati,
former member of the Harvard
University faculty.
DR.. Muhlberg believes that the

be limited to one ounce a day,
which, he says, corresponds to one
quart of light beer, half a pint of
light wine or two ounces of whis-
key or brandy.
He is medical director of the

pany. ,
Discussing the possibility of .
change in the prohibition laws he
urged that Americans interested in
the consumption of alcoholic bev-
erages adopt a plan of drinking
such as is used in the best familie'
in Germany, where drinking TO,
the most part is done with meals
Mr.. Muhlberg believes a prop.
erly controlled distribution of al
coholic beverages may v e result
in better health, provided people
are taught to drink moderately.
He believes, too, that any educa.

such points as when, how ane
what to drink. He added:
