ADAMS LIKELY
T0MAKERA
FORMAY0R

TAKOMA PARK, Md, April 6.
Persistent rumors that the Young
Mems Democratic Club Of Takoma
Park. Md, will support a present
Republican member Of the town
council in his candidacy for mayor
during the town elections next
month, are credited for the un.
usual lack Of bitter political pre-
election rivalry between the two
political factions, it was learned
here today.
With the town elections less
than a month away, when a
mayor and three members of the
town council will be selected,
neither the. Republican nor the
Democratic party, usually at
swords points during an election
campaign in an attempt to gain
administrative control, has ad-
vanced candidates for the offices.
The present Republican mayor,
Frederick L. Lewton. who has not
as yet issued any statement to
the effect, is reliably rumored out
of the race, having served two
terms and not desiring third.
May Support Adams
Town Councilman John Adams,
rumored as a potential candidate
for mayor, and who is believed to
be the candidate who will receive
the support of the Young Mems
Democratic Club, is not one Of
the three members Of the council
whose terms expire June 80, this
year.
With control of town affairs
taken from their hands during the
1882 elections, members of the
Young Mems Democratic Club
have waged al unsuccessful but
( bitter fight since that time against
their Republican opponents in an
effort to gain control of the May
or's seat or a majority on the five
man town council.
The councilmen whose terms eX
pire this year are Peter Remsen
Royal G. Serburne and Capt
Harold w. circuit, member of the
council from that part of the town
lying within Prince Georges
county.
circuit May Run Again
While RemSen and Sherburne
veteran members of the town
council are expected to decline to
serve for another term, it is ri
mored that Captain circuit, nov
completing his first term, will
seek reelection. He also will re
ceive the support Of the Demo
cratic Club. it is said.
While Adams has not as yet de
clared openly his intentions Of
seeking the Mayors seat, it is be
lieved If he does it will be the
first time in many years that 9
candidate for mayor has entered
an election unoppoSed.
No candidates have been Sug
gested by either party to fill the
positions on the town council tc
be vacated by Councilmen RemSer
and Sherburne.

WARNS
INQUIRY FOES

A yelled warning to Admins
tration leaders not to suppress
the WPA investigation because Of
possible political repercuSsions
was given today by Senator Lewis
Cd of Illinois.
Senator Lewis, chairman Of the
committee slated to conduct the
probe, cloaked his admonition in
a statement defending colleagues
against persistent reports they are
trying to postpone and minimize
the inquiry to eliminate politics
from relief money. He said:
81 cannot believe it will be
the intent or object of any one
on the Administration side Of
the Senate to prevent an hon
est hearing of the charges made
against the WPA, and risk the
accusation of suppreSSing facts
about an important government
tai agency, merely because it
may be assumed that such
facts might be politically hurt
full to someone"
Senate rumor has it that Ma
jority Leader Robinson CD of
Arkansas, is maneuvering to hold
the inquiry in allegiance and
transfer it to the Senate Appro-
priations Committee after the
Senate has considered President
Roosevelt'S request for an addi-
tional $1,000, OO0, 900 for the works
relief program.

ARMY RECRUITING
ORDERED RESUMED
War Department Expects Addi.
tional 1000 to Be Oh.
tanned by March.

BY the Associated Press.
A general resumption of recruiting
to bring the Army's enlisted strength
to the l47,000 maximum prescribed by
President Roosevelt has been ordered
by the War Department.
Oficial expectations were that the
additional 1000 would be obtained by
early March
Thereafter. it will be necessary to
recruit new men at the rate of ap-
proximately 1000 a month as replace
ments for normal enlistment expira-
tions in order to maintain the Army
at an average strength of 147,000.
That number was set by President
Roosevelt in his annual budget mes
sage to Congress, but 1t was increased
10 100000 in the War Department ap-
preparation bill as passed by the House.
Should the latter figure be finally ap-
proved, recruiting would be adjusted
upward accordingly.
General recruiting was halted last
November when the quota for which
funds were then available was filled.
The 9th Corps Area, with headquar-
tiers at San Francisco, was said to re-
quire the largest number of new
doughboys.
Generally, the Army does not ac-
cept recruits for stations outside the
corps area in which they enlist.
