CHANGE IS URGED
IN ORGANIC LAW
Edgar C. Snyder Addresses
18th Street Highlands
Citizens.

Demand for a change in the organic
law of the District of Columbia to
broaden the powers of the District
Commissioners and to give Washing
ton citizens voice in the levying of
local taxes and expenditures for mu-
nicipal needs was made by Edgar c.
Snyder, United States marshal for the
District, at a meeting of the Six
tenth Street Highlands Citizens As
ISOLATION last night in the new Bright
wood School.
1.-THE Commissioners do not have
the power they should have, in order
to function properly in governing the
District" Mr.. Snyder said. TOO
many minor matters are being re-
ferred to Congress"
The Commissioners, Snyder said,
should have power to send the District
budget estimates direct to Congress,
without Intervention of the Budget
Bureau.
Insists on Right.
THE taxpayers of the District" the
marshal said, should have the right
to say how our taxes shall be COL
lected and spent. We have no voice
or power except through our citizens
associations, and then are subject to
being overruled in our wishes by
Congress. We have no voice before
Congress unless they choose to hold
public hearings on local matters, and
then we can do no more than make
recommendations which the members
of Congress may or may not follow.
Opposition to divorcig the District
budget from the Budget Bureau was
voiced by Vernon Cleaver. who termed
the Budget Bureau safety valve
which prevents excessive expenditures.
On motion of DR.. Lewis j. Battle the
whole matter of changes in the Dis
trict organic laws was referred to the
associations Executive Committee, be-
fore which Marshal Snyder was in
vited to appear to submit his recon-
mendations, which will be reported in
the form of a motion at the next
meeting of the association.

been suggested by Jesse Pawling. Both
matters were referred to the Commit
tee on Streets and Alleys for report
at the May meeting.
School Addition Urged.
A request that the association in
dorse the proposal to use Civil Works
Administration funds for the con-
struction of a seven-room addition to
the Roosevelt High School was re-
ferred to the Executive Committee,

with power to act prior to the May
meeting.
1t was pointed out that the new
high school already is overcrowded
and. although designed for only $500
pupils. now is housing 1,750, only a
few months after completion of the
building. There has been a serious
loss of special activities and the con-
gestion undoubtedly will be even more
serious next Fall, according to a re-
port to the association from the
Parent Teachers Association.
The association was notified that It
will be granted a public hearing by
the Public Utilities Commission in the
near future on its campaign for re-
moval Of the street railway loop at

something which Is SO intangible as
the proposal outlined by Mr.. Nc
Queary. Mr.. Remon declared that
the associations time has been taken
up for the past three meetings with
Mr.. McQueary's proposals and that
they should have gone through the
regular channels. Mr.. Remon de-
veloped that the committee, to which
the matter had been submitted, had
never had a meeting.
Mr.. McQueary asserted that Mr..
Taylor and himself were in agreement
and that Capt. Cook could bring in a
minority report, if he wished. Mr..
Taylor, who was presiding, conceded
that the committee had never met.
The motion to table the so-called re-
port was made and the association,
on a viva voce vote agreed to that.
Mr.. McQueary was still on his feet,
with some blueprints in his hand,
when the inquiry was made il there
was any new business to come before
the association and upon being in
formed by Mr.. Taylor that there was
not, the association Immediately
voted to adjourn. MIR. McQueary
served notice that he would move at
future meeting to take the matter
from the table
New Members Admitted.
Seven new members were admitted.
Prior to its traffic tangle, the asso-
citation voted to indorse in principle
measure introduced in the House
by Representative Kelly, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, and in the Senate
by Senator Davis, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, to grant monetary re-
lief to the Districts blind. Tie group
took this action. after 1t had listened
to a plea by Mrs. May B. Collins
Worries. chairman of the committee for
the Prevention of Blindness, Of the
Washington Council of Social Agencies.
Mrs Worries said there are between
500 and 600 blind in the District and
that between $50 and 800 of these
need financial help. Some Is States
have passed remedial legislation, she
explained, giving about $500 annually
and deaf person The higher type
blind, she said, are behind the meas
ure. She urged that members write
the sponsors of the measure, indi-
eating their interest.
Mr.. Taylor. reading the treasu-er's
report. showed that the association
had 1885 on hand the end of
March. He said that 100 postal cards.
giving notice of the meetings, are
sent out. but only Is or 90 rav any
attention to them. The notices he
dubbed "a waste Of money"

PARK|NGPROPOSAL
D|SRUPTS SESSION
Cathedral Citizens Meeting
Breaks Up in DissenSion
Over Issue.

Striking a snag on the question of
adequate parking in the downton
section for Government employees and
others, the Cathedral HeightS-Cleve-
land Park Citizens Association, meet
ing in st. Adams Parish Hall, MaSsa-
chusetts and Wisconsin avenues, broke
Up in diSSension, last night.
The association voted to table a
so-called report from its Traffic Com
mittee, asked if there was any new
business and then summarily ad-
journed. The impasse arose when
D. E. McQueary, new member Of
the association, who is also head of
an organization devoted to adequate
parking facilities for Government en-
ployeS, brought forward what he
called a committee report. At the
last meeting, the associations preSi-
dent, Francis P. Sullivan, who was
cut of town last night, appointed to
consider Mr.. McQueary's previously
offered resolution a new Committee
on Streets and Traffic, comprising
Capt. M. G. Cook, chairman; Ben
jamin F. Taylor, association secre-
tary. and Mr.. McQueary. Inquiry
summoned meeting of the group,
but Mr.. McQueary declared that Mr.
Taylor shared his views. Mr.. Taylor
presided.
Report Is Presented.
Mr.. McQueary then proceeded to
read so-called report, which he
asked the association to indorSe. This
document would place the association
on record as favoring adequate park
ing facilities, both public and private,
to keep automobiles off the streets as
an aid to the traffic problem. Faced
with the objection Of number of the
members of the aSSOciation-although
only about dozen attended-Mr. Nc
Queary insisted that Congress may
adjourn before the next meeting of
the association. He declared that the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission four years ago decided
the question that parking facilities
should be constructed under Govern
ment buildings, being built in the
Triangle. This, however, was not
done. He insisted that the only way
to handle the traffic situation is to
take parked automobiles off the streets
He said that there will be some $4,000
cars of Government workers in the
Triangle area and that only 10 per
cent of these can be parked with pres
ent facilities.
Remon Voices Opposition.
John A Remon, general manager
OF the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co., pointed out that no esti-
mate of cost has been made regarding
the proposed parking facilities, nor
has any practical suggestions been
made. The best minds of the city"
he declared, are now engaged in
studying the traffic problem here and

TRANSIENT BUREAU
PROBLEMS HEARD
Lack of Character Building Fa.
cilities for Boys Cited
by Worker.

Lack of character building facili-
ties and the consequent promotion of
a rowing spirit in boys, which even
tually makes them public burdens,
was outlined in an address last night
before the speakers division of the
Publicity Committee of the Com
munity Chest at Friendship House by
Miss Elizabeth Beatty of the Wash
ington Transient Bureau.
She explained that most of the
transients with whom her bureau
dealt had little or no experience with
boys clubs or organizations of any
kind. Miss Beatty said that while
Washington is caring for many
tranSientS, in other States boys from
this city also are being cared for as
transients. Miss Beatty asked for
more facilities for character building
among boys.
Frank j. Moulton indorsed Miss
Beatty's plan, and Miss Lydia Burk-
lin, chief resident at Friendship
House, gave a short resume of the
work of that settlement.

Cites Two Forces
The speaker emphasized the fact
that there were two forces influ-
eneing America today, as in the
past. One is the influence of the
settlers who landed at jamestown
demanding materialistic gains; the
other is the influence of those
who landed at Plymouth Rock. de-
manding freedom of ideals. To-
day we are beset by high pressure
statesmen who offer us question
able products, questionable reli-
gion and questionable political
standards and ideals.
We are concerned in our public
schools with creating a type of
American who will be unaffected
by doctrines and propaganda
which attack American ideals
stated the speaker. I'VE must de-
velop citizens with open minds and
ideals who see clearly to meet the
problems which confront them,'
stated Hepner in conclusion. They
must have responsibility, judgment,
decision and initiative and the
success of our education will be
measured by conditions we create
in communities of the state and
nation through the passing on to
children the capacity to carry on
our American ideals and institu-
tons

With "Vitalized Educational
Program as his topic, Walter r.
Hepner. chief of the division of Sec
ondary education, state department
of education. spoke before a large
group of county teachers at an in
stitute held last night in the Will
son school.
Hepner emphasized the new me-
thodS which must be used; the in
tegration of subjects rather than
the isolation of each into separate
compartments of knowledge; the
need for developing critical atti-
tude on the part of students by
giving them various viewpoints in
controversial subjects, the need for
quickening curiosity in the child SO
that he is eager to learn more, ra-
ther than receiving education apa-
thetically.
He further emphasized the i'm
portance of adapting education tC
the individuals level Of intellizence
and the Importance of giving the
child experiences which develop his
innate capacities High schools, h
declared are no longer for a select
ed group, but rather schools must
take in all students curing the per-
iod Of their dependency.

short program of music was given
