 { Irving Tucker, of Pembroke avenue, was elected president of the Fairmount Community club at the annual meeting which took place at St Michaeis parish hall last night. MT Tucker succeeds Frank H.

 The club after discussion of the traffic hazards existing at the in- tersection of Thomaston and Hunt ingdon avenues voted to request the commissioner of police to re- store "Patrolman Elmer Ellsbells', to duty at that point.

3 LOCAL OVERS
FACE LOSS Of
BLUE EAGLES
Unfair Practices Under Code
Charged in Complaint;
Probe Opened

Three local cleaning and dyeinQ
firms, charged with violating the
NRA code for their industry, may
shortly have their Blue Eagles re-
moved and be prosecuted by the
Department Of Justice, it was
learned today.
According to members of the in.
dustry here, one Of the firms has
already been reported to the Ma
tional Compliance Board for final
action, under the recommendation
Of Major Raymond j. Walter, MIRA
official in charge Of compliance
IN the District. This particular
cleaner and dyer is said to have
cut prices in violation Of minimum
price regulations.
Two other firms, one charged
will selling below fixed prices,
and the other with remaining
open on Sunday, are now under
investigation by the national
code authority for their industry.
Recommendation that the al
legged violators be brought into
line with NRA regulations came
originally from the cleaners and
dyers code authority for the Dis
trict. Maryland and Virginia, Of
which John Chevalier, of the
Palace Laundry here, is the head.
If prosecuted and proven
guilty, the alleged offenders face
a fine of $500 or each day of

although 1t was reported they

None Of the attorneys involved
in the change would give a rea-

Moved Year Ago
The firm moved into the Ma

ago, about the time of the inaug-
uration of President Roosevelt,
with expectation of a lucrative
practice.
These expectations failed to
materialize, however. Postmaster
General Farley, patronage boss of
the party, refused to recognize
the Democratic Committeeman in
local patronage matters. A month
ago President Roosevelt-Striking
at all party officials engaged in
departmental practice - warned
them that they must either re-
sign their party posts or discon-
tinue their private practice with
Government departments.

And while Mayor Jackson

DROPEXPLA|NED
IN JOBS LIST

Changes In the Civil Service
Commission unemployment list
during the past week, which
caused a drop in the number listed
from 1853 to 1902, were mainly
due to the dropping of SO names
for miscellaneous reasons.
There were hints that these
names were removed in some
measure because the persons listed
had not kept in touch with the
Commission, or had not answered
queries put to them as to their
job status.
One District resident and 16
others were added to the list dur
ing the week. OF those dropped,
apart from the SO mentioned, most
got jobs, but a few were left off
because their eligibility had ex-
pired.

Teas Get Votes, Says Woman
Who Leads Iowa Democrats
Yet, She Says, Some
Folks Think Politics
Isn't Very Nice

Elegant tea parties are often
very effective bait to catch"
votes.
This strategy has been found
particularly effective by Mrs.
Carl Pryor, Of Burlington, Iowa,
an outstanding Democratic leader
in her state.
It's hard to say whether this
bait was instrumental in swing
ing normally Republican Iowa
into the Democratic ranks in the
last election. but 1t certainly has
produced a considerable number
Of Democratic women.
Mrs. Pryor, who is in Washing,
ton visiting Mrs. June Fickel, as,
sistant director of the women's
division of the Democratic ma
tional committee, has found, she
said today, that there are still
some women who think that poll
tics "isn't NICE" But tea parties
very frequently alter that opinion
Said Mrs. Pryor:
"SOme women still are Of the
opinion that politics isn't nice.
And we have found in our part
Of the country that If we give
them beautiful teas, they feel
that politics can be elegant, too"
