RANDOLPH URGES
VOTEFOR DISTRICT
West Virginian Makes Plea
Before National U. Law
! Students.

National representation for the Dis
trict was urged last night by Repre-
sentative Jennings Randolph, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, an active
member OF the House District Com
u1ittee.
within the next IS years." Ran
dolph told National University law
students, II believe Washington will
have q population Of 100000 people
"The governmental affairs Of the
city should be taken out Of the hands
of congressional committees and en-
trusted to elected representatives Of
the people Of the city.
IT believe the District should have
o representative or representatives IN
Congress. I don't know how long it
will take, but I do believe the day is
not far distant when this city will
have national representation"
Cites Danger of Communism.
Urging the students to take an ac-
tive interest in governmental affairs,
Randolph said there is growing dan
ger from communism in this country.
In one city in my district" he
said, there is an organization of
100 children who salute the red flag
every morning and pledge allegiance
to the Soviet government. When
communism reaches our little children,
whose minds are still in the formative
stage, it constitutes a menace to our
institutions that can not be over
looked"
He also said Red propaganda is
being spread through the West vir-
ginia mining districts by agitators
from Pittsburgh.
I'm this country today" he de-
clared, there is certainly a need for
all of us to live up to our obligations
as citizens and combat those who
would destroy us. False tongues and
lying persons are abroad in the land
We need a closer study and a deeper
understanding Of our national insti-
tutions and a determination to dc
our duty as American citizens"
Randolph also said sentiment for
the Townsend plan is growing in his
district. I'm the town of Thomas
w. Va" he declared, there is a
Townsend club with 367 paid ur
members and it is getting an average
Of 10 more each day. They wrote
me recently that they were going to
campaign against me in the next
election because I have not supported
the plan. So maybe some of us Con-
gressmen will be back, and maybe
we won't"

Razon discussed the aims of his newly

I'm advocating continuation Of the

protecting Philippine agriculture and
industry. We realize that our main
market Is the United States.
AT the same time, We advocate the
Use Of Filipino-produced products in
preference to American-made or for
eign-nade goods. However, there are
only very few homemade products
which compete with importations from
the United States. It goes without
saying that we prefer to use American

ALEXANDRIA, req. "a DlCCel
controversy between members OF
the Young Democratic Club OF
Alexandria is expected to develop
at tonight'S meeting Of the club
as two proposed legislative bills
are discussed by the club mem
berS.
Introduced in the general as
Sembly by Delegate Maurice RoSen
berg, Of Alexandria, one of the
two bills would make the city at
torney and city collectors office
elective instead Of appointive. pro
vided it was approved by the peo-
pie in a referendum.
The second bill would fill va.
cancies in the civil and police
court judgeship by popular vote
instead of appointment from the
corporation court judge. The lat,
ter bill would not be put to the
people in a referendum.
viii Oppose It
Asserting that the impression
had circulated throughout Alex
andria that the Young Democratic
Club was sponsoring the bills,
certain members of the club de-
clared they would tonight intro
duce a resolution opposing the
bill.
This resolution will be supported
by figures from Arlington and
Fairfax counties, Virginia, and
Montgomery and Prince Georges
counties, Maryland, to show that
the collections made annually in
Alexandria by an appointed col
lector are better than those made
by most elected ones.
This fact, opponents of the bill
declare, is due to the independence
Of an appointed officer, while in
many cases those elected are obi.
gated to some particular political
faction.
Backed by G. Oh.
An even further possible split
within the ranks Of the party may
be threatened in airing charges
that the Republican party of Alex.
andria is attempting to influence
the Democratic delegate.
Such charges, if brought out to.
night, will be supported by the
fact that the Young Republican
Club Of Alexandria has already in
dorsed the proposed bills intro

ROCKVILLE, Feb. GA seven.
point legislative program drafted
by the Montgomery County Liquor
Control Board will be presented to
the Board Of County CommiS-
sionerS for consideration at a
meeting in the courthouse here
today.
This legislative program, de-
signed to make several drastic
changes in the present county
sliquor control laws, advocates
chiefly, a reduction Of the State
liquor tax from $1.10 to so cents
per gallon.
Cannot Compete
Unless the local dispensarieS
are able to obtain a reduction OF
this amount they will be unable
to compete with washington beer
and LIQUOR merchants, Ralph 8.
Fowler, chairman Of the liquor
board, declared today.
Although Virginia sales do not
affect local sales to any great ex-
tent, the Virginia dispenSaf1es
are able to undersen both wash
ington and Maryland liquor mer-
chants, Mr.. Fowler added.
other changes advocated by the
LIQUOR board are: A changing OF
the ION sale" hours for beer from
6 q. m. until midnight, as at pres
ent. to from 8 q. m. until a. m,
except on Saturday night, when
the midnight closing hour would
be observed.
Amendment Of the liquor law
to permit brewers ard distributors
TO sell directly to retailers, elimi-
mating the bookkeeping necessary
under the present Setup where
sales 60 through the diSpensaries.
Ruling On Wine
Amendment to permit the hold
erS Of wine licenses to sell wine
with an alcoholic content up to 81
per cent, instead Of the II per
cent to which they are now
limited.
Amendment to provide exemp-
ton Of the receipts of the dis
penSarieS from the State gross
receipts tax.
Amendment to permit licensed
retailers to change the type Of
their licenses without the ad-
vertiSementS and hearings re-
quired under the present setup.
And last, legislation providing
that all gross receipts Of the dis
penSarieS might be deposited to
the credit Of the board and prof
its forwarded to the county treas
. urer each month after all bills
and operating expenses have been
paid.
Present System
- Under the present system,
gross receipts must be turned
over to the county treasurer, who
then in turn pays all of the
bills and expenses of the liquor
dispensing system.
II approved in its entirety.
liquor officials will request the
county commissioners to include
these proposed changes in a
legislative program to be drafted
by the commissioner within a
short while, for presentation to a
special session of the State legiS-
lature for enactment during
March.

BLADENSBURG
GETS READY
FOR FLOOD

BLADENSBURG, Nd, Feb. 6.
The sunny skies and relatively
high temperatures Of the past
two days have caused consider
able apprehension among the
residents Of Bladensburg that
their annual spring floods are to
come early this year. Fear grew
today with the announcement
of the Weather Bureau that be-
cause Of the heavy accumulation
Of ice in the wooded areas along
the tributaries Of the Potomac
and AnacoStia Rivers, any sud-
den thaw now is likely to cause
one Of the biggest floods in the
history Of Washington.
Since ordinary high water in
the Potomac usually means the
inundation Of a large part Of
BladenSburg. citizens there be-
lieve that a major flood Of the
Potomac will submerge the whole
Of the town. Many citizens have
moved their more valuable
furniture and personal belong
ings into the upper stories Of
their homes and have laid away
food and fuel enough to with
stand a three-day siege.
The Weather Bureau yesterday
appeaSed their fears temporarily
by saying there was no sudden
thaw impending for the rest Of
this week at least. Although
temperatures may rise consider
ably above the melting point,
subsequent freezing at night will
prevent any large accumulation
of water in the rivers.

Senator H. B. Mosely, of Ebony,
said he is going to introduce
measure to provide that there be
no appointment of judges in the
case of vacancies until the next
meeting Of the assembly from the
time Of the vacancy. Work Of the
court which has no judge would
be split up among other judges in
the same circuit. This bill, If
passed, would be a blow at the

'POLICE,PLAN
REJECTED
BY a Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. 6.-Eftorts Of
the Virginia Bar Association to be-
come the policeman" of the
States lawyers are running into
opposition in the Senate.
A bill before the Senate now
would give that body the right to
discipline attorneys; would force
all lawyers to become members Of
the association, and would give
the association quasi-legal author
ity.
When the bill came up yester.
day Senator John Warwick Rust,
Of Fairfax, moved that a referen-
dunn be held among the lawyers in
Virginia to find out how they
felt toward making the association
their governing body.
Referendum Defeated
This was voted down, 1917,
after q spirited debate. Senator
Lloyd M. Robinette. Of Jonesville,
Lee county, took Senator Rust's
part and stressed the "democ-
racy" Of such q referendum. It
was pointed out by opponents of
the referendum that only one
such vote has been held in Vir-
ginia's history and that was on
repeal Of the liquor laws. This
vote led to the special session of
1888 and repeal Of the prohibition
acts.
Senator Rust and his allies
have proponents of the bill in a
vulnerable position. The bill is
q revenue measure in that it ap-
propriateS State funds to carry
out various sections Of the act
and thereby requires at least 81
votes Of the Senate to carry.
Only 36 Voted

RICHMOND, Feb. 6.-Advertis-

vertising has allegedly led to the
bill which the house advanced to
third leading, today were rallying
their forces in an effort tr de-
feat the measure that would pro-
hibit them from practically every
form Of advertising.
According to opponents of the
measure, even word-of-mouth ad.
vertising would be banned by the
proposed legislation. This view
was the theme of Delegate C. L.
Spangler, Of Meadows of Dan,
who said:
"T represent 1900 people;
many Of them have sent to
Richmond, in answer to ads,
and gotten teeth which they
tried out for 80 days and then
paid $40 for them. These teeth
were guaranteed in the adver.
tisements. This bill will sup
press the liberty of these den.

do and what they will charge
for doing it."
Delegate Y. M. Hodges, Of
South Hill, answered Mr.. Span
gler and said:
This bill is designed to keep
the public from being fleeced

1t was charged by proponents
Of the measure, on the authority
Of Richmond hospital authorities,
that so per cent Of the hospital
cases were the result Of defective
