This does not mean only those

PARKING BAN HIT
AS BUSINESS LOSS
West End Citizens Association
Fights Proposed Plan
as Unfair"

Declaring business men Of Wash
ingtons West End section will lose
thousands of dollars from drive-in
trade if the proposed Winter parking
ban is put into effect, the West End
Citizens Association has circulated a
petition already signed by more than
100 business men denouncing this
plan.
The petition, circulated under the
direction Of Almon C. Barber, secre-
tary of the association, charges the
ban is unfair and unnecessary"
Thus far it has been presented to
business men only, but hundreds OF
signatures will be obtained from resi-
dents Of the section without garage
facilities. if necessary, Mr.. Barber de-
clared The petition is scheduled for
presentation to the District Commits
sioners today.
Much of the West End merchants
trade comes from shopping motorists
who make purchases between Z and
9:30 am" MIR. Barber asserted
THE proposed ban would prohibit
cars from parking on designated
streets from 2 to am, thereby caus-
ing a loss of thousands of dollars in
trade to the merchants"
Use of the parking ban during
snowfall emergencies only, and not
when the streets are clear, is sug-
ested In the petition.
There are sufficient garages for but
one-fifth Of the machines owned by
West End residents" Mr.. Barber con.
tends.

BILLS ON MERIT
Smell Says House Minority
Will So Act if He Has
His Way.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Republican House minority in
the new Congress will consider each
measure that comes before it for con-
sideration on its merits" if Repre-
sentative Smell of New York, the mi
nority leader, has his way.
Smell, who has returned to Wash
ington, said today it was not his pur-
pose to attack all the New Deal meas
ures merely because they were sub
mitted by a Democratic administra-
tion.
Ever since the Roosevelt admin
istration came into power" said Smell,
Il have followed the plan of consider
ing all its proposals individually and
on their merits and that is the plan
l propose to continue to follow"
Approves Bonus to Needy.
So far as soldiers bonus legislation
is concerned. the Republican leader
said he believed that if the plan re-
Gently suggested by Senator Harrison
OF Mississippi. looking to the payment
of World War veterans in need, were
adopted the much-veXed question
could be easily settled. He said he did
not know. however. whether the vet
erans generally would be satisfied with
such a plan.
If l am not mistaken" said Smell
the statements coming from the ad-
ministration sources and the President
in the last few weeks indicate it is
the purpose of the administration to
encourage private initiative in bust
1yr-o,
position"
Denies Party Is Dead.
Smell said it was ridiculous to talk
about the Republican party being
dead. Any party. he said, which cast
46 per cent of the total vote in the
recent elections was anything but
dead. especially when the large ex-
penditures of Government money in
all the States are taken into consid-
Grafton.
Smell said he didn't know what all
the clamor was about for a reorgani-
zation of the Republican party.
Il cont believe we could have found
better man to be chairman of the
Republican National Committee than
Henry P. Fletcher" he said. Il think
he did as we'll as any man could have
done in the last campaign"
Smell said his own majority had beer
larger than in many years.
Il carried my district by 5000 more
votes than I did in 1892" he said.
Smell said he expected to be re-
elected Republican leader. He made
this statement in reply to a question
about the efforts of some Republicans
to unhorse him, particularly w. Kings
land Macy of New York, who recently
demanded a new House leader. Macy
was formerly Republican State chair
man of New York. position from
which he was ousted last September

MERIT TOPREVA|L
IN OFFICER CHOICE
Doctors to Play Major Role
in Choice of Fowler
Successor.

An Advisory Committee Of local
medical authorities will play a major
part in selection of the new head of
the District Health Department, Com
missioner George E. Allen declared
today. So far as he is concerned, he
added, politics will not sway the
decision"
The committee named by the Com
missioners to recommend candidates
for the position will hold its first
meeting with Commissioner Allen this
afternoon. He said the plan was for
this body as the representatives of i'm
portant medical organizations to sub
nit the names of from one to three
qualified and available candidates. The
Commissioners would make the actual
appointment, as required by law.
Advice to Get Attention.
"You may be sure of one thing, and
that is that the Commissioners will
give the greatest consideration to the
recommendations of this committee" :"
said Allen. If qualified and available
men are suggested, as we confidently
anticipate. it is practically assured that
one of those recommended viii be
named.
II cannot definitely commit myself
to this, in advance, since the respon-
sibility rests with the Board of Com
missioners.
1.-The point is, however, that had we
not intended to give the greatest
weight to the advice of this committee,
we would not have asked these repre-
sentative physicians to give us their
advice
DIR. Fowler Retires Tomorrow.
There has been no question raised
as to whether the Commissioners would
appoint a health officer recommended
by the committee, but Allen made the
statement further to emphasize his
declaration that patronage and politics
would not dictate the selection of the
successor to DR.. William c. Fowler
who has been retired, effective to-
morrow.
The Advisory Committee consists OF
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, DR.
C. Willard Camalier of the District
Dental Society, DR.. William E. Hough
representing the District Medical So
ciety; DR.. Earl B. Mckinley, George

PAN-AMERICAN MASS
ATTRACTS THRONG
Diplomats of Western Nations
Join Capacity Crowd in
Thanksgiving Rites.

With diplomats from the other
Western nations and representatives
of this Government present, the an
nual pan-American Thanksgiving
mass was celebrated yesterday morn
ing at St. Patrick's Church.
The ceremony took place in COL
orful setting, the church, crowded
to capacity. being decorated with
flags of the participating nations.
The apostolic delegate, Most Rev.
Amleto Cicognani, presided at the
mass and Right Rev Emmett Michael
Walsh, Bishop of Charleston, S. c.,
pontificated.
The sermon was preached by Very
Rev Edward G. Fitzgerald, who dwelt
on the significance of the annual
Thanksgiving proclamation issued by
the President, calling it a heartening
demonstration of "the articulate voice
of Nation expressing faith in a
Divine Providence" in an era when
there is a trend away from religion
elsewhere.
Touching briefly on the troubles
experienced in some nations, the
speaker said that the fact that peace
had once reigned. led to the hope
that it would be restored.
THE church never has concerned
herself with the form of government
men may choose for themselves,
he continued. What she is con-
cerned with is the foundation stones.
When these are justice and charity
they shall endure until the end of
time"
The United States has been par
ticularly fortunate, Father Fitzgerald
continued, for these have been the
principles of its Government.
For these things we are thankful -
he said.
After mass Msgr. Cornelius F.
Thomas, pastor of st. Patrick's, was
host at luncheon.
