)OMMUNITY CHEST has
been the big community
idea during the past
week and very properly
so. Other civic jobs will simply
have to take a back seat until the
Chest campaign goes completely
lover the top" AS this is written
the reports of the campaigns prog
ress are most encouraging. To in
crease ones subscription over last
year seems to be the order of the
day. 1t has just been learned that
any who neglected, through
oversight or otherwise, to increase
their subscription, may do so by
getting in touch with the worker
who signed you up or by sending
in word to headquarters. Every
body owes it to himself and her
self to 60 just as strong as possible
in giving to the Chest. During the
World War the appeal used to be
to Give until 1t hurts" and those
who did got real satisfaction from
the hurt.
The Budget Bureau hearing on
the District budget is expected to
be concluded early next week and
Commissioner Hazen is reported to
have sought the privilege of pre-
senting an argument in support OF
the Commissioners recommended
ton that the share of the Federal
Government be put at $8,317,500
as was requested last year. The
community stands firm back of the
Commissioners on this proposal
which all the civic forces know is
really a modest share for the all
powerful and controlling partner
in the National Capital enterprise.
Commissioner HaZen Is said to
have been nursing black eye re-
Gently and there are heard express
sionS Of hope that when he emerges
from the sacred presence of the
Budget Director he will not have
another for the District.
There is every reason for the
Budget Bureau to recommend
a substantial increase in the
lump sum regardless of the ac-
ton of Congress at past ses-
sions. Gentleman of the House
District Subcommittee will profess
their inability TO increase the
amount which was named in the
Presidents budget" With a single
voice and single prayer all civic
leaders are hoping that Hazen will
be endowed with the power of elo-
Quence. logic and facts to get the
right Federal amount named in the
sacred" budget.
The Stars Safety Campaign con-
tinues to round up and pledge the
drivers of motor vehicles. The dis
cussion Of safety measures con-
tinues unabated. A feature of the
safety movement is some striking
posters. These would he helpful if

FILED COURT BRIEF
OPPOSES WIDER ROAD
Manor Park Contends Only Small
Commercial Group Would De.
rive Benefits.

The proposed widening of Blair road
would benefit only a small group of
commercial property owners and would
merely be burden to the rest of
the community. the Manor Park
Citizens Association contended in
answer filed in District Supreme Court
to the Commissioners condemnation
petition.
Condemnation proceedings have
been initiated to take over sufficient
land to permit Blair road to be
widened from a point south of Peabody
street to Underwood street.
The citizens argued against the con-
demnation on the ground that an at
tempt is made to justify it on the
ground of public advantage, whereas it
will prove an unreasonable burden to
the community as whole.

A 25th Anniversary
Not Celebrated.

ON THE 5th of March, 1910, the
Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations of the District of Columbia
was organized, but no celebration
marked its twenty-flfth birthday
on the corresponding day of March,
1885. 1t is understood that a COM
mittee was appointed to arrange for
the celebration, but just what be-
came of the committee and the
cause of its disappearance remains
mystery.
There is some sentiment among
the delegates TO celebrate the
twenty-sixth anniversary and each
succeeding one. March used to
be too busy time every four years
with the Inauguration of the Presi-
dent and the closing of Congress
every two years on the day i'm
mediately preceding Just before
adjournment of the old short ses-
SionS was always bad time for a
celebration by any who were in
terested in District legislation. for
1t was always at that time when
most District matters were acted
upon. The way is clear now with
both the Inauguration and Congress
adjournment out of the way.
The Federation has gone social on
several occasions and staged some
very helpful gatherings when the
civic leaders, public officials and
members Of the Senate and House
had an opportunity to become
better acquainted. Some of these
interspersed with the serious much
of the lighter vein of good point
contributed to the success of the
gathering.
When the federation gets its
new calendar system, of the Mont
gomery County brand. into opera
ton, some of the delegates state
there will be no chance of COM
mittee or the job assigned to it
getting lost. One delegate suggests
that the missing Twenty-fifth An
niversary Committee be referred to
Maj. Browns new missing per-
sons" service.

Roberts explained that the mem
orandum of certain civic activities
was prepared and transmitted in
recognition of the intimate re-
lationship which exists between
his Office and the various civic
bodies. He states that, while the
law provides that he shall repre-
sent the people only in utility
matters, it has become customary
to expect him to be informed and
to give advice on all civic ques-
tions and to request him to appear
before District and Federal Of
ficers as advocate Of these organi-
cations.
Former President Yaden Of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
in thanking Roberts for his report,
among other things thanked him
for appearing, at his request, before
committees of Congress for the
federation.

New Government Buildings
On Capitol Hill.

SOMETIMES a neighborhood as
- sociation is criticized for med
ding with a matter outside its
own territory. But there is not
expected to be any objection raised
to the suggestion of the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association that
future Federal buildings in the
City of Washington be erected on
Capitol Hill. preferably along East
Capitol street. The arguments ad-
vanced by the association in sup
port of this proposal are regarded
as sound from housing and trans
portation points of view.
Mount Peasants meeting was a
record-breaker in offering Chevy
Chase a fine new hospital, if it
wants it and is willing to hustle for
it, and to the eastern section new
buildings required in the expand
ing Government establishment. In
return for this far-seeing benefcence
it is understood that the Southeast
Business Mems Association will
gladly give Mount Pleasant the
garbage transfer station which they
had previously offered to Dupont
Circle.

the city in general and Southeast
Washington in particular can be
seen in his plan to inaugurate a
"one-man" membership drive during
which he hopes to raise the member
ship of the Southeast Citizens Asso-
citation to at least 1000.
Has Responsible Post.
As executive secretary of the unit,
Davy has a huge job. This position
was Just recently created by the as
sociation and the duties of the ex-
ecutive secretary are that he shall
act as co-ordinator between all
special and regular committees and
the officers of the association; gather
available information on pending and
future business of the association and
present it at the meetings; follow
up on all business before committees
and give help and information where
ever possible; work jointly with the
secretary and serve in his absence;
promote publicity, attend meetings
of other bodies when so ordered ard
vote for the association if SO ordered.
A strong rooter for the citizens
association plan, Davy says that many
citizens now are making the same
mistake he made for a number of
years-wanting to join citizens unit
but not knowing how and not taking
the trouble to find out. He believes
every District resident should be
member of SONG civic unit.

GET RESURFAClNG

The Kenilworth Citizens Association
was successful last week in having
been granted the long sought re-
surfacing of Kenilworth avenue. The
District Commissioners awarded con-
tract to the Union Paving Co. for the
paving of the avenue. 1t will cost
S46,690. Kenilworth avenue will be
paved from Benning road to Deane

The cost will be met out Of the
Districts allotment Of the Federal
road aid money.

Montgomery County Federation
Under New Leadership.

T United in the term of its pres
idents to not more than two
consecutive terms, W. I. Cleveland,
president of the Kensington Cham
ber of Commerce. succeeds Robert
E. Bondy. who has just completed
two years service. Bondy was a
former holder of The Evening Star
Cup for the most important civic
work and Cleveland has just been
awarded the cup for the past year.
1t appears that as the cup goes so
goes the presidential election.
The new president has been sur
rounded by an able staff, and there
are indications of this efficiently
organized and operated body show
ing even greater accomplishments
than at any time in its history. A
certain influential background Of
thoroughness and persistence Of
intelligent effort which has marked
the federation from its beginning
is a big help In maintaining the
momentum and, in fact, increasing
the speed.
The District of Columbia Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations is just
now making an intensive study OF
some of the methods which have
played an important part in the
successful operation of the Mont
gomery County body. Former Pres
ident Stephen James, during whose
term of Office the calendar and,
digest systems we're developed, re-
Gently appeared before the District
Executive Committee and explained
the system.
The intimate acquaintance which
has grown up between the civic
leaders throughout the metropolis
tan area opens up many helpful
possibilities through interchange Of
ideas.

News Letter" Resumes Work.
MOST informative of all local
civic publications, 1T he
News Letter" Of the Voteless D. c.
League of Women Voters is back
on the job after its Summer vaca-
ton. It is only a mimeograph
monthly of legal size page, but it
is filled with information pre-
sented in a most interesting way.
Like a much-advertised commodity
"it is good to the last drop
The November issue gives a
calendar of events for the month,
a list Of new members and then
follows a salutory under the head
ing The Year Opens" The open
ing paragraph tells that, Never
before, perhaps, have the affairs
of the world. the Nation and the
District seemed as imminent and
pressing as they do now and the
opportunities and satisfaction of
work in the League of Women
Voters greater. During this month
of November study groups are
forming and laying out their
courses of work, department chair
men are lining up speakers out of
the wealth of ability centered in
Washington, and old hands are
working on laws to be launched
or launched again-upon the un-
believably difficult journey to
passage for the alienation of the
ills of the District" The letter
follows with an enticing civic bill
of fare and an invitation to the
members to choose one or more
which suits your time or inclina-
tion."
The Department of Government
and Education is beginning a
study of the administration and
financing of the public school sys-
tenn of the District, to find out
"just who does what, when and
how" The department expects to
learn a great deal through this
study and to enjoy itself some
what after the manner of the small
child Gin finding out what makes
the clock wheels 60 round" The
department expects the schools to
20 right on ticking and not be
wrecked like the clock.
If the information developed in
this study of the schools is re-
ported as graphically as the tax
study by the league last year it will
be a civic document of decided
value. And speaking of District
finance and taxation, the depart
ment of Government and its Opera
ton was responsible for that fine
report with its graphic charts. 1t Is
proposed to bring the report up to
date and republish in the Spring.
This department has as its OUT
standing job the getting of ma
tional representation for the Dis
trict or as the National League of
Women Voters calls it, Federal
suffrage for the District Of Colum-
bia." Until that glad day when
the Washingtonian becomes truly
an American citizen the District
League will continue to be the
"voteless" D. C. League OF Women
Voters, a name they will be glad
to change without any qualms OF
conscience.
A very striking thing about this
local body is that the reports
show the number dropped for nom
payment of dues is nil.

ises to be very interesting to old

the public fancy.
This is but the forerunner of an
early and one of the biggest Christmas
shopping seasons Washington has
seen in several years. Edward D.

Yesterday. In cooperation with the
Washington Post Office a committee
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, under Craftsmanship Of
John J. Hasley. is now formulating
plans for the annual Shop Early Mail
Early campaign.
These campaigns in the past have
been largely instrumental in avoiding
st-minute rushes in the downtown
stores and in expediting the nail dur

have in the past few years been de-
livered before Christmas. Postmaster

Theatre Chains
For Soviet Film
Unloading Cities

INTERNATIONAL ART CINEMA,
4 INC, will establish motion pic
ture theatres in nine large Eastern
and Middle-Western cities, accord
ing to an announcement Just re-
ceived from Mr.. M. Radin Of the
Cameo Theatre. The purpose of
this new chain is to make regular
showings of the latest Soviet films
available TO workers in other cities,
where the regular commercial ex-
hibitors refuse to book pictures from
the Soviet Union.
Houses in Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Buffalo will be opened in
the next ten days. The plan also
calls for theatres in Washington,
Pittsburgh, Boston, Cleveland, De-
troit and Chicago. Twenty Soviet
feature films will be shown at alI
Of these houses within the next
year. "Chapayev," the newest So
Wet film to be brought to the
United States, and one that has
been hailed by Esenstein, Pudovkin,
Dovjenko and other eminent Soviet
directors, will be the opening at
traction at all Of these theatres.

addresses and opening dates will be
announced in future issues Of the

society stands the capitalist state
with all its forces of oppression and
terror In fact as the position of
the capitalists grows more insecure,
they rely more and more upon the
capitalist state organized along
open terrorist lines to keep the
workers in servitude.
1t is because the capitalist state
must be destroyed before the work.
ers can establish the dictatorship of
the proletariat, that revolutionary
actions under the leadership of the
Communist Party-the conscious
vanguard of the working class-are
necessary. Capitalism, as Lenin
pointed out, will always seek a way
out at the expense of the working
class. Under Communist leader
ship the working class and its allies
fight to block the efforts of the
capitalists to find a way out at their
expense. From the starting point
of struggles around these everyday
needs and demands, the Commu-
mist Party rallies the masses for the
revolutionary struggle for Soviet
power-for the destruction Of the
capitalist state and the setting UP
of the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat.
