tics" Edward F. Colladay, mem.
Der of the Republican National
Committee for the District, today
threatened to appeal the matter
to the national committee at the
convention in Cleveland next
month.
Declaring that the meeting last
week Smacked Of "Star chamber

"Unless these errors are cor.

Thursday, they will be presented
to the Republican National Com

ton at Cleveland for correction
there. These Tammany-like tao
tics will not be endured"
ERRORS" CITED
The errors he reIerred to are
the action Of the State committee
in refusing to seat a delegate,
Francis Wells, and the throwing
out of two ballots Of the Colladay
group.
The vote stood 81 to 10 against
the Colladay ticket, and he con-
tends that If Mr.. Wells had been
seated and these two ballots per-
he would have won by %
to 81.
Mr.. Colladay also defended the
election Of a Stenographer in his
office as a delegate to the State
convention. saying:
"I know Of no reason why
women who work for their living
should not participate actively
in the Republican party in the
District Of Columbia as well as

ABANDONED

Selves, Waiting
Light Test

Commissioner Melvin C. HAGEN
made a complete about-face today
on his own proposal for 'regula-
ton to ban footing of automobile
horns for any reason whatsoever
between II p. m. and z a. m.
The District Commissioners def
nitely rejected the proposed regu-
lation unanimously.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer's proposal for q regulation
to establish pedestrian control
and prohibit jay-walking was
shelved by the Commissioners un-
til pedestrian lights to be in
stalled on F Street at Twelfth
and Thirteenth Streets North
west are tested.
July l Was Deadline
Suggested by an anti-noise
campaign committee, Mr.. Hazen
sponsored the proposed horn
footing ban after Director Van
DuZer had prepared a regulation.
Commissioner Hazen had stated
he hoped to have the ban effec-
tive on, July !.
Commissioner George E. Allen
was the first to oppose the horn
footing and he was followed by
Engineer Commissioner Dan I. Sui
tan. At the conclusion of the
meeting Of the city heads today
Commissioner Hazen himself an
nounced his own opposition to
the proposal and stated the city
heads had decided the present
regulation against unnecessary
noise at all times was ample and
should be enforced more strictly.
Test Lights First
Director Van Duzer proposed
the pedestrian control regulation
to the Commissioners Saturday
after it had been recommended
by the Traffic Advisory Council.
The regulation provides that a
pedestrian must cross at inter
sections at a cross walk In the
downtown section, and prohibits
crossing in the middle Of the
block.
No penalty was provided in
Van Duzer's regulation which
would make the general penalty
of a maximum fine of $500 or
a jail term of 10 days, effective
for violations.

Ken Murray
Says:

DR.. Donald Laird, Of Colgate
University, expressed . belief
that, due to isolation, the
DiOnne QuintupletS are very
apt to become manhaters, and
suggested that they be allowed
to play with disinfected little
boys. In q few years, can't
you just hear them saying.
"Quick Mama, the Fit! Here
comes q bOy!"
OF course, to me the quints
are the ones who really should
be disinfected -. After all,
they've certainly proved they're
very contagious.
The amusing part is, how are
you going to get a little boy to
submit to the process every time
he goes calling, when you can't
even get most Of them to wash
behind the ears.
Naturally, DIR. Laird may
know what he's talking about,
but it really seems too late to
take all those precautions with
the famous little ladies
There's q case where five out OF
five already have IL.

tanned, but because it extended to
every section of the country and
broke down long-established lines Of
partisan sympathy.
To get back to the original ques-
ton, can the Republicans come
back? Their party heads say they
will. Among non-partisan common
tators opinion is that the party has
a good chance to come back-but
that considerable reorganization
must take place, a new and aggress-
i've program must be adopted, and
new faces insult replace some ia
miliar ones in party councils. One
leading Republican, Representative
Fish of New York, has already de-
manded that present party heads
resign.
What will happen remains to be
seen. The hard fact is that no ma
jor party ever was at so low a state
as the COP is at present-the DEM
ocrats in their hungriest days al
ways had large representation in
Congress, governorships, state leg
islatures, municipal councils, etc.
But politics is surprising game
and the unprecedented can always
occur. One guess as to what will
happen to the two-party system In
the next four years is as good as an
other.

Thanksgiving is recognized as one
of the most characteristic and ap-
propriate of all OUR American Ma
tional Holidays.
Why?
Probably because the American
people, through the period of their
nations existence, have had more
to be thankful for than the people
of any other land.
Not in the material sense alone!
The pioneers who celebrated our
first Thanksgiving Day expressed
gratitude not only for bountiful
harvests, but also for the freedom
with which Divine Providence had
rewarded their courage and labors.
That spirit endures. Every Presi-
Dental proclamation of a Day of
National Thanksgiving has sounded
the same note of reverence.
Thus, through the years. Thanks
giving Day has become not only a
national expression of gratitude, but
a re-dedication to the spirit which
lived in its strong and valiant
founders.
The seeds of freedom sown by
them have borne a harvest more
bountiful than their own crops.
Our reasons for national gratitude
have grown-not diminished.
They gave thanks for fruitful
harvests; we for a bountiful supply
not only of the necessities of life,
but of comforts far beyond their
modest aspirations.
They gave thanks for liberty to
worship as they chose. We give
thanks not only for freedom Of re-
ligion, but for freedom of speech
and Of action and Of opportunity as
well.
Many nations cannot do this to-
day. The iron hand of Dictator
ship or the red blight of Commun-
ism; the terrors of war, from with
out or within-all have robbed
them of the security and the Hber-
ties which our fathers established
as an American birthright.
Our duty is not limited to appre-
citation, however grateful, Of these
blessings. It involves their preserva-
ti0n aS well

SOCIAL SECURITY

First actual steps in the national
social security act were taken this
week when employers and employees
made their application for the
numbers" Employers filled out the
blanks listing the number OF hired
hands and early this week the hands
received the blanks for listing their
personal histories. Locally, all went
smoothly and in spite of a little mis-
understanding regarding status OF
certain kinds of help everyone SEEM
ed anxious to cooperate.
While the politicians made much
of the fact that deductions were to
be made from the employees pay
checks each week, probably q vast
majority of employers will pay the
one percent assessment, and let his
employees consider that they have
had raise to that amount. The
employees, in turn, can-and should
figure that their old age endoW-
ment has been presented to them
by their employers.
To our notion the security act,
ragged as it admittedly is in its
present form, Is one Of the biggest
national achievements in recent
years. We think that most, II not
all of the present inconsistencies In
the bill will eventually be worked
out and the act will be fair to
every worker. Safeguarding the
collections, not provided for in the
present set-up, will undoubtedly be
taken care of. Inclusion OF small
employers, another angle which
worries small town businessmen, Is
another angle to be corrected. We
think it will be.
AS matter of fact, the results OF
the passage of the act will not be-
come apparent for years yet, but
eventually it will largely replace the
ever increasing demands for pen
sions, the dole, many INDECENT in
situations and will work for the
general good of the country at
large. It should have been put IN
to effect years and years ago.
