d. c. Appropriation Bill
In Hands of Senate Committee.

4 LII of our organizations are
n watching the Senate sub
committee having charge Of
the slashed D. c. appropriation bill,
with an abiding faith that these
gentlemen will do their utmost to
give the District as square a deal
as is possible under existing cir
cumstances. For years the District
organizations have looked to the
Senate to champion their cause for
needed funds and for financial
equity. Throughout the organiza-
tions there are expressions heard
of admiration for and confidence
in Senator Thomas of Oklahoma,
chairman Of the subcommittee, as a
dependable friend of the District.
There is much regret that the
proposal made last Summer by
the Senator for joint meetings
of the House and Senate sub
committees was not agreed to by
the House Committee. No reason
has ever been given as to why the
plan of Senator Thomas was not
followed. The organizations were
hopeful that through so reasonable
and businesslike a method there
would emerge an appropriation bill
which would efficiently cover the
needs of the District and at the
same time be fair to both the
United States and the voteless and
unrepreSented District.
To ciyic 1aadarc fI,a
House has, in effect, delegated its
portion of the power of exclusive
legislation to a mere handful Of
members and they in turn have
abdicated in favor Of one or two.
The Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations at its last meeting adopted
a series of digni1ed but forceful
resolutions in protest against the
action by the House in slashing
needed District funds and Federal
contribution. The federation also
protested against the neglect by
the rank and file of the House Of
its constitutionally imposed duty
of legislating for the District.
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted and approval of them is
being heard in every quarter.
The way the Senate Subcommit-
tee is going into the study of the
several questions having impor-
tant bearing upon the appropria-
tons for the Districts support for
the next fiscal year is very reas-
suring to the disappointed and dis
heartened civic workers as well as
to the District Commissioners and
their aides.

- the watching of Capitol
Hill the week just closed
has been busy one for organized
civic Washington. The week began
with fllibustering District day in
the House and the annual dinner
of the Society of Natives of the
District in the evening. This
dinner was in celebration of 143d
anniversary of the laying of the
first corner stone of the District,
featuring an address by Repre-
sentative Jennings Randolph OF
West Virginia exhorting the
Natives to be more militant and
assume the lead in the campaign
for national representation for
the District. Recollection Of the
passage by the House of Repre-
sentatives last week of the Dis
trict appropriation bill, slashed
both as to urgent needs and
Federal contribution, and the un-
fruitful District day had put the
Natives in just the proper frame of
mind to respond enthusiastically
to Mr.. Randolph's message.
Other outstanding events of the
week were the annual meeting Of
the Washington Board of Trade
at the Mayflower Hotel on Thurs

CITIZENS EFFORTS
TO IMPROVE AREA|
SEEN SUCCESSFUL
DahIgren Terrace Group,
Formed in 1924, Continues
Notable Record.

Do you remember when Twelfth
street and Rhode Island avenue north
east was way out in the country?"
Well, it was back in those days
is years ago-that the community
now known as Woodbridge or Dahlgren
Terrace was growing up. Today 1t is
a thriving section of the city; its
civic minded residents are the men,
bers of the Dahlgren Terrace Citizens
Association, one of the most active
organizations of its kind in the Dis
trict.
1t was while Woodbridge was still a
long journey from the heart of the
city into the fields that the pioneer
residents of the section decided to or
ganize for their mutual benefit. They
wanted a we'll planned community
one they could take pride in. And
as result of their intelligent work,
the countryside" has now become one
of the most beautiful and attractive
communities in the city.
Organized in 1924.
This marvellous change has been due
largely to concerted spirit of its citi-
zens. Sensing the possibilities of ap-
propriate development which would
place it among the other outstanding
communities of the city, such pioneer
residents as Marshall Pickering, E. ~
Leach, DR.. Lewis Radcliffe, Archy w.
Barnes, j. G. Kingsbury and others
early saw the nee6 of an organization
patterned after other citizens associa-
tlonS, SO that a systematic program
OF development on a community basis
could be prosecuted and the needs
and desires of the community be
properly presented to the various au-
thorities, both in the District and
Federal Government. 1t was also felt
that any program could be more ef-
fectively presented by properly con-
stltuted representatives of group
representing the organized body of
that community.
With these purposes in mind, q
preliminary meeting of some of the
outstanding figures in the young COM
munlty was held at the home of DR..
Lewis Radcliffe, Twelfth and Montana
avenue northeast, on the evening of
December 9, 1924.
Among those present were Leach,
William H. Bailey, j. H. Miller, Pick
erlng, E. E. Spiess, DR.. Radcliffe,
klngsbury, D. L. James and R. F.
Tabb. At a later meeting held at
Pickering's home, an organization was
perfected with the title of THE Dahl
gren Terrace Community Association"
and the following officers elected:
President, Marshall w. Pickering; vice
president, DR.. Lewis Radcliffe; secre-
tary, Miss K. Splitting; treasurer, J. G.

3 DEAD AS FIRE
. RAZES HOME

A mother and her two daughters
were burned to death early today
when flames RACED a two-stL-y
farmhouse on Franconia Road,
two miles south of Alexandria.
Dead are Mrs. Nellie Wise, 40:
Beatrice Wise, 10, and Frances
Wise, IA. Phillip Wise, husband
and father, was severely burned
in trying to rescue his family. The
victims were trapped on the second
floor of the house.
The fire, of undetermined origin,
was discovered by a coon hunter.
He ran to the home and sounded
the alarm, but the flames had cut
off all means of escape.
Mr.. Wise jumped from his bed
room window and, before firemen
arrived, reentered the building to
answer the screams of his wife
and daughters. He was finally
dragged from the building with
his clothing ablaze.
Mr.. Wise is employed as an cleo

Yard,

President No Longer
Immune to Attack

at the professors Of the Brain
Trust. They have condemned
other individuals in the Admins
tration. But extraordinary care
has been taken to avoid a direct
attack upon President Roosevelt.
This apparently has been con-
ceived as good politics. The tire
mendous personal popularity Of
Mr.. Roosevelt would make attack
upon him a boomerang, in the
opinion Of observers.
The reasons for the change OF
attitude upon the part of the Re
publican leaders are problematical.
Probably reports which have been
reaching Washington that the
President was no longer held to be
above reproach by the rank and
file Of citizens have been the de-
termining factor.

Mr.. Guffey and Mr.. Earle, who
are carrying the hope Of the Demo
Gratis for unhorSing Senator David
Reed in Pennsylvania, left the
White House after luncheon and
dinner with the President, talking
Of bright prospects for a 57-million-
dollar project in their native State.
Under the old order Of the cam
paign this would have brought
from Senator Hastings bitter con-
demnation of Mr.. Guffey and Mr..
Earle and likely a charge that they
we're using the White House for
political purposes.
But the statement issued by
Senator Hastings does not content
itself with this angle of the stiua.
ton. It attacks President Roose-
welt personally for his part in the
affair.
Senator Hastings declares in his
statement:
"The instance shows Just
where the President stands in
the dangling of bait for the
voters"
And again the Senator says:
"The White House itself has
now become the cOuntry'S pOliti-
cal sounding board. Never be-
fore has it been subjected to
this sort of politics. NeVerthe-
less, Pennsylvanians who are
aware of Mr.. Roosevelt'S record
of broken promises will not be
taken into camp by this latest
influencing-the-v maneuver."
These statements may not seem
remarkable in themselves, but,
when they are considered in con-
nection with the type of campaign
which the Republicans have been
waging, they constitute a wide de-
parture.
Policy Reversed
Heretofore the candidates and
the party leaders have very care
fully RETAINED from placing upon
President Roosevelt personally the
blame for the policies which they
have been criticizing. They have
spoken bitterly Of the capital
which the Democrats have been

lures in the campaign.

BUSINESS WATTS
ONPRES|DENT'S
REINSURANCE
BY EARL GOODWIN


President Roosevelt's address to
the American Bankers Associa-
ton tonight may change the
course of American business.
If American finance is reas.
sured by the Presidents speech TO-
night, that vast pool of money
and credit which is lying COM
paratively idle may be stirred to
its depths. In turn, the wheels Of
industry will start at higher
speed, commerce will step up, pay
envelopes will increase in number
and weight.
If the President does not sue
coed in reassuring the bankers
that the future is safe in bank
ing way, there may or may not be
better times right around the cor.
ner, but it is safe to say that the
bankers do not intend to turn
that corner in the lead of the
procession.
Test Of Strength
In one sense, the meeting Of
President Roosevelt and the Amer
lean Bankers Association tonight
is q test of strength. People are
wondering who will come off vic
toriouS.
There have been sharp things
said about the Presidents policies
while the bankers have been here
in the city, but it is obvious that
these criticisms have not come
from the Big Boys. The 165 or so
bankers who control the major
part of the peoples deposits and
a large share of their investments
are evidently trying to Steamro1l
the convention into state where
it will not act like an American
Legion meeting when the bonus is
being debated.
What the bankers would like to
have from the President is some
concrete evidence that the dollar
will not be inflated.
He Discourages Speculation
No one outside the closest asso-
ciates of the President knows what
he will tell the bankers; and he
discourages speculation about the
matter.
It has been obvious for several
weeks that the President has
plumbed the business and finan-
cial situation with careful and
appraising eye.
Sixty business leaders have
been in conference with him in the
past few weeks: he has been get
ting reports of business from such
men as his liaison officer, Eugene
Black, governor of the Federal Re
serve Bank of Atlanta.
In addition, the New Deal has
been going toward the right, pull
ing away from the "crack down"
policies of the General Johnson
era in the NRA.
Another incident which cheered
the bankers was the Presidents
Roanoke speech, in which he told
the veterans that relief needs
came first; bonus second.
