OBJECTS TO ARTICLE
ON MARINES

BY B. r. Reynolds Ex-Sergeant U. S. M. C.
The writer of the article, Marines
Fail to Land With Park Drill Plan,"
in the Feb. issue Of The Times,
must be person who has never
been in any branch of the service.
He evidently never has had the ira
ditions of the Marine Corps ex-
planned to him.
The word, THE Marines Fail to
Land" are direct reflection and IN
suit to any good Marine, and con-
trary to the traditions of that great
organization which has stood for
more than 100 years without blem-
ish or reflection as to character

qua, the West Indies, China, Mon
tezuma, Tripoli and many others.
The Marines have never failed to
land whatever they started after
For two years group of pa
triotic ex-Marines who believe in a
prepared peace" have been trying
to organize a Marine Corps Reserve
in indianapolis. The shelter house
is only one obstacle which has had
to be overcome. I think the writer
of the article in question, as good
citizen of the best city in America,
should direct his efforts and influ-
ence toward the success and compile
ton of such a worthy idea instead
of filling space with the sarcastic,
inane implications of which he
knows nothing.
I have shown this article to sew

they agree that it is true example
of imbecilic idiocy written merely to
produce laugh. The monumental
traditions of the United States Ma
rine Corps are such that they are
not laughing matter. Why not
give some space and use some per-
sonal influence to put this organi-
cation over the top? 1t surely
would make good copy. Get behind

THAT was just a lucky break.
u What hoodlums are more likely
to do is to become preoccupied with
an exaggerated sense of justice,
completely out of perspective, and
thus lead themselves into trap.
Witness the eminent Foggy Dean
After he and Willie Mason had shot
their way out of the Peoples Motor
Coach Co. Office with their loot
back in 1888, they Communicated a
taxicab.
They took over the operation OF
the cab personally, but took the
cabby along. After they had salts
fed themselves they we're not i'm
mediately followed, they turned the
cab back to the owner.
Both Masor and Dean then broke
down at the injustice they might
have done the cabby-cheating him
out of his cab fare. And they made
him take a considerable sum OF
money as fare.
And the cabby was pretty instru-
mental in sending them to prison
for the murder of Sergt. Lestez
Jones, shot by those two sentiment
talists in their escape.

D. G. WILL SEEK VIADUCT

The Districts legal department
today was girding itself for a
legal battle with Catholic Univer-
sity so that construction of a
viaduct over the railroad tracks on
Michigan Avenue Northeast might
proceed unmoleSted.
Through Attorney William c..
Sullivan, the university, joined by
the Order of Minor Conventuals
and Robert A. Ralph, owner of a
gasoline filling station, filed suit
in United States District Court
two weeks ago, seeking an injunc-
ton to force tearing down of the
half completed viaduct and resto-
ration of Michigan Avenue to its
former condition. The District
has until next Wednesday to an
SWer the suit.
Involved in the issue are two
old dedicationS of land by the
The Washington times., 1936-10-22

Catholic University to the Dis
trict. Both dedications involve
property in the viaduct construc-
ton project, one dating back to
1893 and the other in 1880. The
university now claims that the
1893 dedication was void because
it did not give the land to the Dis
trict in "fee simple" as required
by law. The 1880 dedication is
attacked by the university because
of the construction of document
under seal of the university trus-
tees, which it is claimed does not
legally effect a transfer of the
land.
The viaduct project is being con-
structed out of Federal grade
crossing elimination funds. The
project is estimated to cost $685.
600, part of which sum was used
to condemn land for the straight
ening of Michigan Avenue.

CONGRESS DUE
MUCH WORK
NEXT YEAR
BY EARL GOODWIN

The next Congress will have
more thinking to do than uSua
because a score of laws come tt
an end in 1897; and some of them
have to be attended to almost right
away after Congress convenes
January 6 These laws range
from the Scent letter postage all
the way up to such heavy subjects
as the gold content of the dollar
: and the hard-boiled neutrality act
by which the United States keeps
hands off the warning nations OF
Europe and the rest Of the world
and allows no shipments Of arms
and ammunitions.
It's Ticklish Subject
One ticklish subject is the PreSi-
dents power to alter the gold con,
tent Of the dollar to any point be.
tween so and so per cent Of its
former value and other pur.
poses" President Roosevelt has
not definitely said he would ask
for extension Of this power.
If Governor Landon is elected,
and takes office January 20, the
new Inauguration Day, he will
have but 10 days in which to COM
municate his views to Congress, as
the present status expires Janu-
airy 80.
The huge lending power of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton expires February l. Present
indications are that the corpora
ton itself would not ask for
further loaning authority. The
: RFC probably will be continued,
in any event, as an agency to be
used in emergencies.
Another important financial de-
tail for Congress is the deadline
of March 3, on which day the Fed
eral Reserve Board loses its pres
ent authority to issue notes on
the security of Government bonds.
CCC Broke" March 81
The CCC camps will be out of
funds March 81. April marks
the date when the Federal HouS-
ing Administration must quit
lending money for moderniZation
purposes. Loans for electric ap-
pliances through the Electric
Home and Farm Authority end
February /.
The present strong Neutrality
Act ends May /. Signs under this
Administration point to its reten-
ton, extension and strengthening.
The act prevents shipment Of
weapons and certain ammunition
and munitions to warning coun.
tries.
Incidentally, the act relates
only to wars between countries
and not to civil wars, as in Spain,
but the State Department has
taken the position that public
policy prohibited American contri.
button to that slaughter and no
arms have been shipped there-at
least, none has been reported.
The reciprocal trade agreement
policy, which has been a subject
of debate in this campaign, comes
to an end in June next year. The
State Department, which has ne
gotiated IA agreements under this
new policy, is anxious it shall be
extended.
July / marks the end Of the
Scent postage on letters unless
Congress extends it; also several
Federal taxes die that day unless
revived in advance. They include
the Federal tax on gasoline,
amusements, radios, automobiles,
refrigerators, etc.

King Faces Greatest
Crisis Since 1914

>lesley, deputy undersecretary Of
state for foreign affairs, for a
long "fill-in" on the Locarno dis,
cuSSionS here.
Although salient items from
every edition of the London news
papers are clipped and put before
him, Edward thus receives the "in-
side story" of the crisis before the
reporters can dig it out of tight
Tipped ministers.
Heralded as breaker of kingly
precedentS, Edward is expected by
some Americans to make dra-
matte gesture for peace. But it
must be remembered that Edward
is a constitutional monarch, re-
sponsible in practice to parliament
and to the cabinet.
Hence by tradition he can give
advice only when called upon to
do so; but when a vital decision
in the present crisis is made,
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin,
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden,
or Chancellor of the Exchequer
Neville Chamberlain will report to
the palace for the royal viewpoint,
which they respect even as they
did in the case of King George.

1t is not the lack of affection
on the part of the present owner
of Nellie that makes it necessary
to find another home for her, but
because the owner is thinking en-
tirely of Nellie'S welfare.
Nellie is dog, part hound. She
is only nine months old and, be-
ing an outdoor dog and very play
full, she finds her present city liV-
ing quarters rather confining.
And when everybody in the fam
lily goes to work, Nellie gets terri
bly, lonesome. For these reasons,
Mrs. Louis Dunn, of 223 Eighth
st. N. E., has decided to give her
pet away. Mrs. Dunn describes
Nellie as very friendly, fond of
children and attractively marked
in black, tan and white. The dog
is medium in size.
Mrs. Dunn wants to place her
pet in the suburbs. If you are in
terested in having the dog, notify
Mrs. Dunn.

also are in need of homes today.

The three-million-dollar slash by
Congress in the Federal lump sum

1887 District appropriation bill
was protested by Brightwood Citi-
ZenS Association last night. The
resolution, introduced by John
Clagett Proctor, urged the Senate
to return to the bill all items rec

missioners and Budget Bureau.
Following a charge by William
NICK. Clayton that it appeared to
be the general practice of the

crowd busses to the danger point,
the association petitioned the Pub
lie Utilities Commission to place
a limit of five standees in each
bus.
The association favored the

CUNNINGHAM
TO QUIT POST

Reports that Frank E. Cunning
ham, clerk of the District Supreme
Court, is about to retire because Of
i'll health, were circulated today.
Mr.. Cunningham. who was pro-
NOTED to the clerkship of the court
on January /, 1926, has been in
the service of the court since May
/, 1903, when he took the oath Of
office as assistant clerk OIL the
same day that Justice Harry M.
Clabaugh was sworn in as Chief
Justice of the District Supreme
Court.
Last summer the veteran clerk
suffered a slight stroke and since
that time has been frequently
absent from his office. Several
months ago he and Mrs. Cum
ningham departed for Florida
vacation hoping that the change
would bring about a recovery.
This hope has not been entirely
realized, it is said, and through
Mrs. Cunningham. the clerk has
allowed it to become known that
he wishes to retire.
None of the District Supreme
Court justices nor attaches Of
Mr.. Cunningham's office. would
comment on the report today.
Mr.. Cunningham's adminiStra-
ton of the office he holds has
been unusually progressive and
has won the frequent praise Of
judges and lawyers. He was
originally in the office of Sena-

RELIEF BUDGET
MESSAGE NEAR
International News Service

President Roosevelt today began
preparing his recommendations to
Congress for 1885 relief, following
a White House conference last
night which lasted until after
midnight.
After Mr.. Roosevelt made it
clear yesterday that his relief pro-
gram will be calculated to fulfill
needs for the entire year. he called
WPA Administrato Hopkins. Cor
rington Gill, statistical expert
and Budget Director Bell into the
night parley.
It was strongly indicated the
President would not accede to the
demand of the United States Con-
ference of Mayors for 1900 mil
lion dollar relief appropriation
and that his request to Congress
probably would be limited to about
half that amount.
