| MARINE CORPS HISTORY
IN INTERESTING VOLUME
81 Book by Haskin Says First
u. S. Shot in World War Was
Fired at Cutter.


One of the most interesting chapters
in Frederic j. Haskin's new book,
THE American Government Today"
Is that which tells the story of the
United States Marine Corps, regarded
by many as the most colorful branch
of the military establishment.
The Marines have been on the job
since ITS. and in their famous
march song they boast that they have
fought From the Halls of Montezuma
TO the Shores of Tripoli," that they
watch a pile of coal or a powder
magazine and "if the Army and the
Navy ever gaze on Heavens scenes.
they will find the streets are guarded
by United States Marines" Certain
1t is that their record is a long and
distinguished one.
Incidentally, as Mr.. Haskin points
out. few people know that a Maxine
fired Americas first shot in the World
War when on the morning of April
6, 1917, rifieman put shot across
the bow of a German cutter In the
harbor of Guam.

z QUESTIONED.
IN THEFT RING

Two men were being ques-
toned by police today in an at
tempt to break up the largest
automobile theft ring uncovered
in the East in several years.
Fearing interference by mem
bers of the theft ring, police kept
secret the names and place of de-
tention of the two suspects.
Two more men are named in
warrants which police said proba-
bly, would be served shortly and
another two men are under sus-
picion, with warrants likely to be
issued against them.
Police said they expected to re-
cover 125 automobiles through the
arrests.
More than so automobiles
stolen in washington have been
recovered in Statesville, N. C.
Police revealed the ring had
formed a widespread organiza-
ton to receive the stolen mer-
chandiSe and sell the automo-
biles in Virginia and North Caro-
lima.
A similar automobile theft ring
was broken up several years ago.
This gang used the second-h
markets in New York and Penn
sylvania to dispose of stolen au-
tomobileS.

Making the board members all
civilians would eliminate the pres
ent method of selecting an Army
officer as Engineer Commissioner
The report further recommended
the election of a city council the
members of which must be bona
fide residents of the District for
at least one year. The council
would be empowered to appoint
members of the Board OF Educa-
ton, a power now delegated to
the District Supreme Court, and
also appoint members of the
Public Library Board. Copies OF
the report, which was prelmin-
airy in character, were referred
to member bodies of the fedora
ton for consideration. The report
will not be taken up formally
until all member bodies have
been given opportunity to pass
upon it.
The federation critized the
Public Utilities Commission for
ordering without public hearing a
1O-cent cash fare and $1.25 pass
on the recent authorized rush hour
express bus service from the Ia
koma Park section, and opposed
removal of tracks on the Kennedy
Street car line and approved lay
ing of tracks on New Hampshire
Avenue between Georgia Avenue
and Eleventh Street, to afford
routing of Takoma cars down
Eleventh Street on express service
with limited stops.
The federation rejected legisla-
ton to appropriate 100000 to re.
fund payments made to the Col
lector of Taxes for alleged illegal
assessments for paving roadways
and laying curb. The proposed
legislation, it was claimed, would
be an outright grant of 100000
to a private corporation known as
the Refund Paving Tax Corpora
ton organized under the laws of
Arizona.
The Federation approved a res
olution for Citizens Associations of
Takoma, D. c., for a reduction in
local gas rates equal to those of
adjacent States of Virginia and
Maryland, and asked that funds
be provided for a new Pennsyl-
vania Avenue bridge.
