meeting last night at the Kenilworth
Church. Oficials of the body were

discussion, numerous members describ-
ing crowded conditions on cars serving
the section. John S. Driggers pointed

The headway during rush hours
should be reduced from 20 minutes to
10 minutes, he said.
Extra Car Proposed.
Others suggested that an extra car
be operated from Kenilworth at 8
a m, and that in the evening q car
for Kenilworth passengers only be run
to the KenilWorth section.

SELLING Of LIQUOR
BY DRINK OPPOSED
Forest Hills Citizens Asso.
citation Moves Against
Public Consumption.

Vigorous opposition to sale Of in
toxicating liquor by the drink in the
section Of Chevy Chase and Forest
Hills under its jurisdiction was voted
by the Forest Hills Citizens Associa-
ton at It's meeting last night in the
Ben w. Murch School. No reference
was made, either in the resolution
which was carried or in the discus
sion on it, to sale of package liquor in
the community for consumption away
from the place of business.
The action of the Forest Hills As
sociation. following as it does the
prior similar action OF the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association, places an
organized citiZenry ban on drink sales
on Connecticut avenue from Chevy
Chase Circle south to Tilden street,
the southerly boundary Of the Forest
Hills Association. The North Cleve-
land Park Citizens Association is
expected to act on the question later.
Control Board Praised.
Discussion of the liquor control
question brought repeated compliment
tary references to the personnel OF
the District of Columbia Liquor Con-
troll Board. One speaker described
the membership as "a group that Is
willing to put on the brass knuckles
and wade in there on any question II
it has to-" The discussion, partici-
pated in by several members, was
marked by pointed observations OF
Edwin S. Hege, visiting member OF
the Chevy Chase Citizens Association,
who warned that wisdom must mark
the administration Of liquor control If
the abuses which brought about pro-
hibition are to be forestalled. Already,
he said. somebody along the line
handling liquor is guilty of something
little short of robbery" in the setting
of the prices which consumers have
to pay for whisky.
The Forest Hills group voted against
"the principle of old-age pension" L..
A. Carruthers, chairman Of the as
sociation's Fiscal Relations Commit
tee. argued that the old-age pension
system proposed for the District and
already in force in Is States places a
premium of indigence and a penalty
on savings" He said further that the
proposed laws sought the elimination
of the poor house and asserted that
he, personally, was 'in favor Of keep
ing the poor houses and calling them
poor houses"
Carruthers Given Thanks.

ing had voted its thanks to Mr.. Car

position.

An increased gasoline tax for the
District OF Columbia, as proposed by
Representative Howard Smith OF Vir-
ginia, was opposed by the Manor Park
Citizens Association at a meeting last
night in the Whittier School, at Fifth
and Sheridan streets. It was felt that
the tax would be an imposition on
District residents and the thousands
Of tourists who visit the Capital annu-
ally. Chairman Norton and a major
ity Of the House District Committee
have previously opposed the bill.
The erection Of a stop sign on the
northeast corner OF Eighth and Pea
body streets was urged. due to a re-
cent accident at that intersection.
recommendation for stop signs at
Fourth and Rittenhouse and Third
and Quackenbos streets was referred
to the Streets and Highways Com
mittee.
On the motion OF J. B. Smoot. q
complaint was registered against the
closing Of three blocks on Fifth street
for shedding. 1t was pointed out that
the citizens did not wish to keep the
children from enjoying this sport. but
questioned the advisabinty OF closing
an arterial highway for coasting
A discussion was held as to how the
Manor Park Recreation Center shall
be supervised, but was referred to q
committee for further study.
A. J. Driscoll, chairman Of the Fed

bership Drive Committee, spoke briefly
and urged support in the drive for
members. Commissioner Melvin C.
Hazen has been chosen as honorary
chairman for the campaign
H. N. Stull. chairman OF the School,
Committee Of the Federation OF Citi
zens' Associations, expressed his views
on the school situation and urged a
systematzed survey of educational
needs.
