IMPROVEMENTS.
IN SOUTHEAST
Demands Will Be Discussed
At Mass Meeting Set
For Early Future
By A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor


Plans for continuing the fight
to secure many improvements for
their sections of Washington, as
embodied in the 18-point resolu-
ton recently presented to the Dis
trict Commissioners, were COM
pleted by the executive committee
of the Southeast Business Mems
Association, which met at the
office of President Clarence F..
Donohoe yesterday.
The committee also completed
arrangements for a mass meet
ing to be held at the Buchanan
School, at a date to be deter
mined at the next regular meet
ing.
Every resident interested in the
improvement of Washington will
be expected to attend the mass
meeting, when the civic needs of
that section of the District will
be stressed.
Meeting last night at the home
of it's president, Myron R. Walker,
the executive committee of Glover
Park Citizens Association adopted
resolutions requesting the Public
Utilities Commission and Capital
Transit Company to make no
change in the present routing of
Glover Park, Burleith and Trini-
dad bus line at the coming hear
ing on rerouting of transportation
lines in the District September 10.
The unanimous opinion Of the
committee was that the present
bus service starting at Huidekoper
Place and Benton Street and ex-
tending to Trinidad through the
business section, giving service to
more than 1900, was operating
on a most convenient schedule.
The resolution will be presented
to the commission at the Septem-

w. D. Harris.

SURPRISING TO
D. {. HEADS
Hazen Says Commissioners
Follow Law in Asking
Funds for Sewers

Both District Commissioners
Hazen and Sultan today expressed
surprise at the published state
ment of Secretary Ickes, who said
yesterday he was proceeding eau
tiouSly on the Districts $4,000, 900
loan for the sewage disposal plant
because ''he did not intend to be
Stung again."
Inquiry at Secretary IckeS' Of
flee today revealed the fact that
Mr.. IckeS is evidently not satisfied
with the act of Congress which
specifies that 10 per cent of this
money is to be repaid by the Dis
trict government and 80 per cent
out of Federal funds. In addition
he wants evidences of a formal
action by the heads of the District
government that the District Of
Columbia is indebted to the PWA.
1t is also understood that he
was not satisfied with a misun-
derstanding which apparently ex-
listed between him and the Dis
trict Commissioners on the subject
Of repayment of the S1,750,000
granted a year ago for sewer
works.
1t is understood his reference
to being stung" refers to that
misunderstanding. although an
act of Congress has provided for
the repayment of that money.

he and the other Commissioners
are following the law with re-

ANOTHER BATTLE OF THE

That was a wise move by
General johnson, in offering
Gene Tunney a job with the
NRA. "A great defensive fighter
like Gene, should be able to
block a lot of those blows
aimed at the generals head.
Imagine a businessman re.
ceiving a notice saying, eff you

the NRA, meet Gene Tunney
at Madison Square Garden"
Since Tunney is already a
lieutenant of the Marines and
a colonel on a governors staff,
now what they should do is
make him a general in the Sal

proved in Chicago, that "a man
