CITIZENS ANSWER
PATR|CK'S CHARGES

man Acted Without OBJ
tanning Facts.

Charges by Maj Gen. Mason M. Pat
rick, chairman OF the Public Utilities
Commission, that the Takoma Citizens
Association had adopted resolutions
concerning utilities questions without
ascertaining the true facts, resulted
last night in the association going on
record unanimously in support of the
committee chairman who drafted the
resolutions.
The action, a direct denial of Pat
ricks charges, was vote of confidence
in George E. Sullivan, chairman of the
associations Public Utilities Committee.
Conferred With Counsel.
In connection with Patrick's criti-
cism, it was brought out that the day
before the commission chairman made
the charges in writing to the associa-
ton, Sullivan had a conference with
the commissions counsel. In his letter
Patrick said Sullivan had made sew
eral appointments with the counsel, but
never kept them. This the association
characterized as utterly without basis
in fact"
One Of the resolutions at issue
charged the Utilities Commission de-
faulted in the case providing for 10
per cent cut in telephone rates.
The association report stated the
charge that the necessary answer OF the
commission required by law to put the
case at issue and thereby enabling a
court hearing was filed with the court
within eight days after the suit was
brought" is absolutely unqualified and
untrue. No answer to the bill of COM
plant In the matter of the appeal has
ever been filed. The commission filed
a reply merely to the rule to show cause
as to the temporary injunction, follow
ing which the injunction was granted.
The case has been. in abeyance ever
since, awaiting the commissions answer
to the bill of complaint filed by the
telephone company" The report then

District Committee at the hearing on
April 8.
Facts Are Set Forth.
In connection with the charge in an
other letter from Gen. Patrick, which
relates to limiting court review to judi
cial questions and making future valua-
tion and rate-making cases before the
Public Utilities Commission effective
within a reasonable time, that the
trainers of the resolution should have
ascertained the facts, the report set
forth in detail all the facts and condi-
tions as they existed at that time. In
adopting the report, it was
set forth that the association knows Of
no reason for changing any part Of its
original resolution as Sdopted at the
April meeting of the organization.
The association adopted q resolution
favoring extension of the Washington

ECONOMIC TRADE TRUCE IS GIVEN
 MORE IMPETUS
United States Proposition Pledges 8 Governments to Carry it Out-58 Others Expected to Fol= low
BY FREDERICK KUH (Copyright 1888 by United Press


 London, May 11.-UP)-The
 economic trade truce proposed by the United States visualizes uni versal action on an economic arm- istice at the world economic con- ferences, pledges the eight govern , ments represented on the confer
 ence's organizing committee to an immediate truce, and urges the 5S other nations whick will take part in the conference to take similar action, the United Press learned to-day in obtaining the first auth oritative summary of the docu- ment.
 The meeting of the organizing committee of the world economic conference called to approve the truce, was postponed until Friday.
 The announcement said it was due to the failure of two or three governments to send their Lon- don ambassadors instructions re- garding their attitude toward the truce. It was believed that the deliberations of the German cabi-
 net, which was meeting at II a. m. to discuss its terms, was one
 of the causes for delay. London morning papers pub- lished incomplete and inaccurate
 versions of the truce. The United
 Press is able to summarize it's text authoritatively. The first
 paragraph announces:
 "The nations. recognizing that measures of all kinds which would misdirect or paralyze world trade should not be intensified from the outset of the conference, urge an economic truce, the terms of such agreement to be laid down at the world economic conference"
 The second paragraph declares that the governments represented on the organizing committee agree among themselves and agree ur- gently to recommend to other gov ernments, that each should imme- diately undertake to abstain for from fresh aggravations to exist ing difficulties that tend to par alyze international trade.
 The true authorizes any govern ment to withdraw after July 31, upon giving one months notice to the world economic conference. This paragraph contains a signi- ficant safe guarding clause that will permit any government to make exceptions from the truce's terms eff the world price level is too greatly disturbed"
 Next follows a technical pro- vision which allows nations now engaged in negotiating commercial treaties to proceed with them, but applies moral pressure on the gov- ernments against putting the treaties into effect. This pro- vision was believed to be the chief matter of interest to the German cabinet.
 The final paragraph recommends all other governments to enter the truce on the same terms as the na- tons represented on the~organizing committee.

A large audience of Waterbury Jews. in protest against the treat ment of their countrymen in Ger many and denouncing Hitler, att tended the mass meeting at the Hebrew Institute last night spon- sored by the United Jewish com mittee and representing 26 organ izations of the city.
 Practically everyone present signed d petition to the department of state urging the government 10 take strong action against the nazi movement and requesting that the quota be extended so that Jewish refugees from Germany may be admitted to this country and also calling upon England to allow a greater number of Jews into the country.
 Jewish religious institutions, Zionist organizations. professional young men and women and repre- sentatives of many other walks of life made up the large audience which united in protest against the mistreatment of their fellow Jews by the Hitler regime.
 Miss Caroline Greenfield, rep- resentative of the American Jew ish congress and widely known lecturer and dramatic artist, urged a boycott of all things German, which resulted in her listeners ap- plauding Justify. She related the many famous Jewish characters driven out of Germany by the nazis and described the reports she re- ceived from official authorities, of the brutal beatings of Jews in Ger many at the hands of the Nazis.
 Charles Rosengarten, chairman of the committee responsible for the mass meeting, stated there Is q greater need at present for protest than at the last meeting held in Wilby auditorium last month.
 Unable to be present due to ill., ness, Rabbi Isadore Breslau re- layed his thoughts by telegram asking all Jews and non-Jews of the city to raise in protest against return to medievalism and bar barism. Rabbi Moses D. Shein- kopf stated that in the past Hitler attacked merely men, but now seeks to wipe out the essence of the God idea, and will be defeated and that Israel will be made even stronger than ever.

Rabbi William P. Greenfield stated that because ideals of civil ization are stronger than any indi- vidual or group, Hitler will destroy himself as the very attempt to de- stroy the ideals of civilization by the burning of books, will do this.
 Attorney Perry Graicerstein be- lieved that the Germans are af- fected to the same degree as the Jews and representatives of the German people are hoping that the rest of the world will assist them in ridding themselves of Hitler.
 Lazarus Kuperman was of the opinion that hte Jewish people establishing a real homeland in should direct their efforts toward Palestine, more so than at any other time.
 David Stein reported in Yiddish on the Continental congress in Washington when $500 workers, farmers and socialists requested the government to allow more Jews in the country during the present emergency.

I (OHltCu ITCSo oedh Asuncion, Paraguay. May H. | (UP)-Paraguay's formal declara- | tion of war against Bolivia was de-
 signed to cut off the movement of
 food supplies and munitions into | the territory of her inland rival, | thereby bringing a speedy term
 ination to the unofficial war that has ragged in the Gran Chaco since
 last June, the United Press learn- ed in official quarters today. Paraguayan officials hoped that
 Argentina and Chile would cut off their commercial relations with Bolivia under terms of the league
 of nations covenant and The Hague convention which require sanctions against belligerant nations. Bolivia, an inland country. uses chilean ports for imports and ex-
 ports. Vast quantities of war ma
 terials have moved through Chill can territory. The chief source
 of food for her troops in the Grand
 Chaco has been from the Argen- tine-a source Paraguay hoped to cut off.
 Forty thousand Paraguayan troops faced 60,000 Bolovians along a battle front stretching for 300
 miles across the pear-shaped Gran Chaco, from southeast to north west.
 Neutral military observers an- ticipated bloody combate unless
 peace terms were arranged quickly. The long rainy season, which for
 part of the year makes the Gran Chaco a boggy, malarial swamp. was drawing to close. The declaration of war was re-

 Any road taken by the United States will be attended by hazards. The present situation has no prece- dent in the annals of this country's diplomacy. It is the first admitted direct warfare between American republics since the Pan-American movement was organized half a century ago.
