District Government
Reorganization Revived.

District Government
Reorganization Revived.
CENATOR KING has indicated
~ that he will revive his propo-
sails for a reorganization Of the
government Of the District of CO.
lumbia when the Seventy-Fifth
Congress convenes. Considerable
interest was shown In references
made to this subject by William A.
Roberts before the Presidents ifs
cal relations study group. Roberts
told of the survey Of the District
government by q committee COM
posed OF Auditor Donovan, Direc-
tor of the Budget Douglas and him.
self and the completion of its re-
port of eight volumes which had
been released. Another volume
containing the personnel and SAL
aries had not been released to the
public and the final volume which
was to embody the recommended
changes in the government had
not been completed as the commit-
tee had been unable to agree.
Roberts is known to have some
very pronounced views regarding
a reorganization which will give
some very definite semblance to a
participation by the citizens. Upon
his retirement from the Office Of
peoples counsel he is expected to
resume his civic activity as q pri-
vate citizen and will push his reor-
ganization plan independently.
AS a part Of these plans Roberts
would set u q permanent commits
sion to annually determine. by
some definite formula, the amount
of the Federal payment toward the
expenses Of the District govern
ment.
The civic organizations have
never been able to get together on
any of the proposals for a so-called
reorganization Of the District gov
eminent. These have. for the most
part, been simply proposals to in.
crease the powers Of the District
Commissioners. The organizations
have raised serious objection to
many Of these increased powers
and there has been no lack Of q
fear among some Congressman that
they would thereby lose some Of
their control over the District.
The Federation Of Citizens As
sociations has had q special COM
mittee on reorganization Of the
District government, but 1t Is not
believed to have been very active.
This is largely due to the lack Of
cooperation Of the constituent Or
CARNATIONS through supplying the
committee with views of the organ
izations.

By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

While in theory, a Presidential campaign blankets 48 States, only a score or less usually feel the full force of the final-pre- election drive for votes. It is so in 1886.
 Firing may continue outside the crucial sector, for one reason or another. Presidential candidates may even make excursions into ter ritogy which they have not counted as their most promising. But all of that often is merely part of the old military game of trying to con- fuse the enemy.
 When it comes down to the real, underground work of getting out the vote, which many believe con- trols elections regardless of the activities of the candidates, the situation is different. Each party's high command sets aside certain states as safe, and puts in it's best lcks in those additional states where the possibilities seem most plaus- ible.

NEW YORK TO COLORADO

This year the disposition of the Democrats is to look on the South and the Far West as the first line of their electoral strength. Since the Maine election, the Republicans have reckoned all of the New Eng land states as theirs. These claims are disputed, in each instance, but the inevitable logic of the situation still indicates that the belt of con- tested states stretching from New York to Colorado will be the focus of the eliminating engagement of the campaign.
 Within the section are the states of New York, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Ne Froeka, Missouri. Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming Idaho and Colorado.
 Together these 20 states have 284 electoral votes, Is more than the 266 needed to elect. If Mir. Roosevelt can carry the South and the Far West, he still will need some of these states to win. If MT. Landon can carry New England, he will need most of these states to win.
 That is the simplest way in which the situation can be stated. Demo- cratic predictions of victory arc based on a hope that at least two or three of the largest of the cruc- ial states, or several of the smaller will go Democratic, while Republi- can claims of an electoral college majority presupposes Republican sweep through virtually the entire disputed area.
 In fact, on the Republican side, National mmit ttee Chairman Hamilston has said as much, in substance. He has predited that Mir Landon will win by carrying every state east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio, and 10 or 12 west of the Mississippi. A glance at the map will show what solid sweep like that would mean.
 The policy of the Democratic managers is to claim everything, but to do it with smile. Meantime, they keep begging away on the New York Colorado front

Still Coughing?

No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with anything less than Creomul- sion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble to aid nature to soothe and heal the infiamed mem- branes as the germ-laden phlegm is loosened and expelled.
 Even if other remedies have failed. don't be discouraged. your druggist is authorized to guarantee Creomulsion and to refund your money if you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.)

 And sometimes some of these lunches turn out to be bonanzas. Hoover took some Democratic states he didn't count on in 1928. and Roosevelt cut more deeply into Re- publican territory than seemed pos- sible in 1882. In these times, it's not so easy to tell.

PARIS, Dec. 26. (UP)-
France and Great Britain
strove to avert the threat
of war in Europe tonight by
tentative suggestions of fin
ancial, economic and perhaps ter
ritorial aid to Adolf Hitler if he will
agre to halt armed Intervention
in the Spanish civil war.
The situation was loaded with
dynamite and the powers proceeded
cautiously. 1t has become an open
secret that Fascist Germany and
Italy are aiding the Spanish rebels,
and that France is afraid of be-
ing forced to come strongly to the
rescue of the leftist government,
which might precipitate war
Britain, eager for peace at almost
any cost, was cooperating with
France. The two nations made no
specific propositions and especially
no offer of territory to Germany
for colonization.

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 26.
(UP)-Pope Plus XI is suf-
fering from severe neuritis
pains in addition to other
ailments which have forced
him to remain in bed, the United

Inflammation of the nerves be-
cause of the long inactivity of his
holiness left leg was blamed for
the increasing pain from which
he suffered
Although Vatican officials con-
tinued to minimize the Importance
of the new complication, it was
apparent they were worried, fear
ing that the Pope might grow
worse.
At $50 a. m. the Pope heard
mass and received holy communion,
after which he slept until DR..
Aminta Milani returned at noon
accompanied by Cardinal Pacelli,
papal secretary of state. The Car

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Dec.
26. { u P = Dictatorships
holding sway throughout the
world will eventually col
lapse of their own weight.
General Plutarco Elias Gales, for

"Dictatorships can be maintain
ed only by force and violence" :"
Gales said, speaking through an in
terpreter, his son, Rodofo, who re-
Gently arrived from Mexico. "They
never can succeed in countries
which have known liberty"
1t was Gales first talk with q
reporter since he reached California
last April after being eXiled from
Mexico for opposing government
backed groups hoping, as he put it,
ito impose a Communistic die
tatorship of the type prevalent in
Russia"
at is not dictators as men--in-
divioual men such as Hitler, Musso-
lini, Stalin-to which I am opposed
Gales said. but the ideals upon
which the system of dictatorship is
based.
when human rights and prerog-
atives are threatened, violent con-
vulSions result.
only when the dictator is cap
able of changing himself into a
statesman can this be avoided.
Peace can come only when those
in power adjust their program for
the good of all rather than arbi-
trarily imposing their own prin-
ciples
When a government refuses to
respect the rights of all, civil war
breaks out as the only apparent
method of recovering lost liberties.
Spain now is the battle-ground
for the ideals of Communism and
Fascism because authorities tried
to silence criticism with stupid per-
secution.
Anarchy resulted, and social dis
cipline was destroyed"
Gales believes both sides in the
Spanish conflict are wrong.
Both Sides" he SAID, advocate
principles which are based on the
idea of dictatorship

and social justice. In my opinion,
the only way to welfare is through
