The memberships of the constit-

Citizens Associations show wide
variation in their numerical
strength. Just now the Chevy Chase
body, with about 1850 members,
claims to be in the lead. Rhode

for years boasted memberships ap-
proximating or exceeding 1000.
Some of the smaller organizations.
it is believed, do not exceed by
great deal the minimum of so

to the federation.
Should the question Of changing
the basis of representation receive
serious consideration by the fed

the several District-wi bodies,
such as the Association Of Oldest
Inhabitants, Society of Natives of
the District, Federation of Wom-

Medical Society, Engineers, Phar-

Teacher Associations, would not be
included in such plan of graduated
representation. but be kept on an
equality basis. There are some
delegates in the federation who
think that these general bodies
should be permitted only one dele

Southeast Takes No Vacation
In Fight for Improvements.

CARING for the lawns and fiow-

keep cool may occupy the off-duty
hours of some Of the civic workers
during the Summer, but not so
with the folks out Southeast. Last
Summer, when civic activities were
almost nil, 1t was the Southeast

citation which got on the job and
grabbed the civic spotlight. It is at
it again with q threat to tell the
President of the United States its
story of the neglect of that section
in the passing out of city i'm

Commissioner Sultan, Director of
Highways Whitehurst and Supt. of
Street Cleaning Costigan. Costi-
gan has under his supervision the
much discussed garbage transfer
station, located next to the Penn
sylvania Railroad freight yards.
There are many worthy projects
in the list making up the southeast
program, all Of which are to be
pushed with the vigor for which
the civic-minded of the section
have become famous. The first of
these is the replacement of the
Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge over
the Anacostia River. In this they
have the united support of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
and the Washington Board of
Trade. Another item Is one with
which the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission is strug-
Cling, and that is to provide ade-
quate and convenient recreation
centers with swimming pools. Or

in supporting that kind Of lay
out for the southeast and is hope
full that a way may be found for
the construction of such pools with
public funds, as was done in the
case of the pools and recreation
centers of Takoma and Banneker.
The project which Southeast
considers third in importance, or
probably as Of equal Importance.
Is the removal from that section
of the garbage transfer station.

1t is one thing to say it should

in charge Of the handling Of the
city garbage state that they re-
quire a comparatively central To-
cation on the railroad where the
garbage can be transferred from
the trucks to the gondola cars
to be moved to the reduction plant
at Cherry Hill, Va. Suggestion
has been made that the trans
portation be by barge on the river
instead of by rail and that the
load be transferred at BuzZard
Point. This, the authorities point
out, might be feasible. except
when the river is frozen and navi-
cation closed.
In their impatience over this
problem some of the Southeast
folks have facetiously suggested
the location of the transfer sta
ton at Dupont Circle or at Ia

tary engineering, j. B. Gordon, has
been making a serious study of

His Career Lacks 'SFanfare,''
 But Craig Reaches Army Top

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-An officer Hhcss scng service has been un- marked by the spectacular, tops off his carer by taking over the high ct command in the American Army.
 General Malin Craig, semi-bald, GO years old, who has been chosen as Army Chief of Staff, looks and aqts like a ccnservatiyely dressed and agfabla executive of any great cor at.on-and that is just about what he is now to the army of the United States.
 His main record has been made not as a combat officer out in the important but less colorful task oI administering the complex affairs Of marching men.
 Executive Jobs His Lot
 The distinguished service medal he has 6 right to 1ear-but almost never does-was for exceptionally merito.ious service rather than the gallantry in action. Executive jobs he was Chief of Staff of the First Army corps in France and later Of the army of occupation in Germany have been his principal lot.
 Since his West Point days, Craig has been a good average soldier, do- ing his job, friends say, and reach- ing out for no medals. Old comrades in arms describe him as having an exceptionally good sense of humor and an unusual ability to get things done without too many orders.
 As a youngster in West Point, Craig was not an exceptional stu dent. A friend of 40 years recalls, but he was first cadet captain in his senior year, the highest military ranking then available to any ca det. The designation was made, not by fellow classmsn who liked the stcut young Craig and effectionate- ly called him by nickname ap- pscximating "tubbyr but by the su- pesintendsnt of the acadsIny. on rec ommendaticn of the commandant. The captaincy meant that Craig was regarded as the outstanding all- around soldier in his class
