Citizens Face Injunction Suit
On Church Donation Plans
L. J. Goldman Fights
Proposed Gift of
$500 Surplus.

An Injunction suit was threatened
last night against donation by the
Congress Heights Citizens Association
of $500 to four churches in the Con-
gress Heights area.
Several members made bitter protest
against the donations and Louis ].
Gelbman warned he would seek an in
junction If "one penny of the trust
fund" was transferred. He said he
would demand a restraining order
against the association and DR.. E. E.
Richardson, president.
Declared Lacking Legal Right.
In a lengthy discussion the group
opposed to the donation declared that
a small majority of members who vot-
ed for the donations at the last meet
ing did not have the legal right to
give the associations funds to other
organizations.
DR.. Richardson, however. instructed
the treasurer to see that four checks
of s125 each were made out and pre-
sented to the Methodist, Baptist, Cath
olic and Episcopal churches of Con-
gress Heights today.
The association at its last meeting
voted, Z to 6, in favor Of the dona-
ton. The money has been in the
treasury for years and is the remain
der of nearly $1,000 from proceeds Of
a carnival.
The money originally was raised to
build swimming pool, but the project
was dropped after it was estimated
the pool would cost between $4,000
and $4,000. After the plans for the
pool were abandoned money was fur
nished by the group to maintain life
guard and matron at the Camp
Simms swimming pool, which at that
time was available to residents OF
Congress Heights. Upon the closing
of the pool, the association decided
to invest the remaining sum Of $500
and use the interest derived from it
for current expenses.
Churches May Reject Donation.
According to reports, some Of the
churches will reject the donation, and
in that case the amounts will be divid-
ed among churches accepting. If all
four reject the money will be returned
to the association.
The group went on record as favor
ing the installation of bus line from
Congress Heights directly to Eastern
High School. It was stated that two
transfers, one at Fourteenth and U
streets southeast and the other at
Seventeenth and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast, are necessary in order
to reach the school from Congress
Heights. Members reported that in

Nearby Buildings.

Seeking to justify the choice Of the
location south of the White House
on Constitution avenue, between Six
teenth and Seventeenth streets, for
the 2nd Division Memorial, in the
face of protests that have arisen from
several quarters, the Fine Arts Com

sidered when the lst Division Monu-
ment was placed south of the State

Moore, fine arts chairman.
This was planned as the dominant
memorial and for II years it has been
the only one in Washington; other
divisions have gone elsewhere, if any
where. Two other sites for smaller
monuments were then tentatively ar
ranged for. One such has been au-
thorized by Congress and is now oc-
cupied by the I'd Division. one of
the heavy fighting divisions. The To-
cation balances the site of the Millet-
Butt Fountain at the north. The
other and last site would bear the
same relation to Constitution avenue
as does the I'd Division Monument.

Also that the vistas south of the Sher-

letter explaining the Fine Arts Com
missions policy with reference to the
development Of the Ellipse area, and
] read it with much interest.
II have perfect confidence in the
commissions Judgment and have never
had any doubt that it would do what
ever was necessary to safeguard the
appearance of the public reserva-
tions."
DR.. Moore addressed a letter in
similar vein to Lorimer Rich. member
of group of architects in the Pro-
curement Division of the Treasury
Department, who had protested
against erection of the Second Divi-
sion Memorial south Of the White
House, and to another protesting group
