man of the Traffic Committee Of the
Board of Trade, has called luncheon
meeting of that unit, to be held at
the Harrington Hotel. at 1890 pm.
Thursday. The committees annual
report is now being compiled.
The cherry blossom crowds this year
so far have equaled or surpassed the
crowds for the same time last year.
according to Curtis Hodges, director
of the Greater National Capital Com
mittee, who bases his opinion on the
great number of people who have
been accommodated by the Housing
Bureau in the committee offices dur
ing the last few weeks. Since the
first blossoms came earlier than many
people had expected. he estimates that
a large number of people will be in
Washington during the next few days
to see the double blossoms.

more than 1900 rooms in private
homes listed, will be open during the
remainder of the month from am.
until midnight. or even later, If neces-

A National Historic Canal
Or Four-lane Scenic Highway?
THE District Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs and the local chap
ter of the Izaak Walton League
have passed resolutions urging the
acquisition and restoration by the
Federal Government of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal from Cum
berland. Nd, to its terminus in
the City of Washington. The res
olution recites that the canal was
first fostered by George Washing
ton. its proposed route being ex-
plored and mapped by him as early
as l784. 1t is a historic monument
closely woven with the early life
and DEVELOPMENT of the District
and the Potomac River Valley. 1t is
proposed to rescue the canal from
its present state of decay and re-
a m 10
for pleasure craft in connection with
the recreational facilities planned
for a part of this region.
The proponents claim that so VAL
liable and historic a relic of the
early 18th century should be pre-
served as national historic monu-
ment. A petition is addressed by
these organizations to the President
and the Secretary Of the Interior to
acquire the canal from the canal
company through the use of Fed
eral emergency funds.
In some quarters 1t has been sug-
gested for number Of years that
the canal right of way be acquired
and a four-lane scenic boulevard
constructed. Frederic A. Delano,
chairman of the National Park
and Planning Commission, has re-
Gently stated that the Park and
Planning Commission proposes the
preservation of the canal as a
recreational waterway and that he
knows of no plans for the con-
struction of a boulevard in place
Of the canal. 1t is understood that
the Federation Of Women's Clubs
proposes to push this movement
by arousing interest and obtaining
definite action by other organiza-
tions.

Solicited for Campaign Funds.
A National Historic Canal
Or q Four lane Scenic Highway?

a PROBLEM which has long
confronted the voteless and
unrepresented people Of the Dis
trict is the proper attitude as to
contributing to political campaign
funds. Recently prominent
Washington business man received
through the mail an earnest plea
for contribution to the Liberty
League. Instead Of the very easy
way of handling the problem by
sending his check, he replied, in
part, as follows: Il heartily be-
lieve in the organization Of the
Liberty League and its objects. but.
being neither a Democrat nor a
Republican. but a disfranchised,
. voteless citizen of the District. and
having no voice in the affairs Of
the Government, I think it is
rather presumptious on the part
Of the Liberty League or of its
representative to appeal to me for
membership in its organization.
Il would be very glad to join
with you in issuing clarion call
to all Liberty League lovers, but
for the reasons above-stated can.
not see my way clear to join the
league for the reason that neither
the Liberty League nor any other
political organization or non
partisan organization have sin.

the citizens of the District of Co

A reply from the organization
stated that there might be some
merit In the position taken.
Truck Highways Problem
, Of Increasing Urgency.
THE District has long been con-
fronted with the problem Of
routing the heavy trucking through
the city. Some time back the
Stanton Park Citizens Association
sought and obtained the support of
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations in urging that through
freight trucks be taken of Of Mary
land avenue northeast and sent
over another route. 1t was shown
that residents along the avenue
were kept awake with these heavy
vehicles, that the houses were
Jared, plastering cracked and
other damage done. Relief was
granted through another routing.
More recently the Citizens AS
sociation of Takoma, D. c., entered
a vigorous protest with the Dis
trict authorities against the heavy
trucks being driven at high speed
over upper Blair road. 1t was
pointed out that Blair road is a
winding, residential street not
adapted to such traffic; that such
trafiic Is a source of danger and
annoyance to the residents of the
section.
The latest action on this subject
comes from the Brightwood Citi-
zens' Association, which, for the
same reasons as stated by these
other associations, urges the es-
tabhshment Of special thorough

Missing Wdou May Be Murder Victim
Police Refuse Positively to Link Weymouth Woman
 to Finding of Limbs of WOnan's Body in Boston

Boston, Oct 9-CUP)-Strange dis appearance of a beautiful blonde model and discovery of blood. smeared rooms in her South Shore bungalow that indicate "a murder has been committed" loomed today as vital clues calculated by inveS- tigators to break wide open" mys- tery that has engaged them since a woman'S hacked-of legs were found in Boston harbor Monday.
 Missing from her cottage for the past three weeks is Mrs. Grace AS- quith, 41-year-old Weymouth widow
 Though police declined to iden. tify her positively as the harbor vic- tim, they admitted she is "the best possibility"
 Authorities agreed that Mrs. As quith's description fits almost ex-, actly the hypothetical likeness of the harbor victim and that other details are strangely parallel.
 But" observed Captain John Me- Carthy, head of the Boston police
