authoritative statement to that affect.

CITIZENS OPPOSE
LOCALIZED RACING
Proposal Brings General At
tack on Gambling at
Stanton Park Meeting.

Introducing of a bill to legalize
horse racing in the District resulted
In q general attack on gambling last
night by members of the Stanton
Park Citizens Association. The group
voted II to against the racing bill,
which was sponsored by William c.
Murphy.
President Harry N. Stull declared
rambling was better behind closed
doors, if it must exist, adding that at
least children were not subjected to
its temptations in that form.
Pray don't wish horse racing on
the District and the city's children" +"
begged Miss Gertrude Young. retired
principal of Peabody School, in which
the association met.
Continued operation of the num-
bers' game was deplored by A. H.
Gregory, who also opposed the racing
bill.
Murphy, pointing out the additional
revenue the District would receive If
horse racing were permitted, declared
his purpose in advocating favorable
legislation was not to increase, but
to control betting that already exists.
An increase in the appropriation
for the Districts police department
was advocated in another resolution
introduced by Murphy. 1t was passed
unanimously, with the recommended
ton that copies be sent the House and
Senate committees and the District
Commissioners.
President Stull appointed Murphy
and C. E. Chadwick a committee of
two to draft a report on the Jacobs
fiscal relations report.
Mrs Luther H Brown. who retired
as secretary after 10 years in that
capacity. was honored by the aSsocia-
ton with gift. William J. Bartle took
over the position.

Summers conversations.
The foreign Office kept watchful
eye on the Moroccan situation, how
ever. despite the Hitler assurance,
and England through close co-opera-
ton could prevent Nazi coups.
In the background of the changed
situation, Parliament met for its first
session of 1887 to add to the easing
of tension by passage of bill pro-
hibiting French volunteers from join
ing either side in Spain's little world
war;.
The economic negotiations to break
down German isolation and gain for
eign markets and raw materials for
the Reich, coupled with the exchange
of mutual guarantees to isolate the
Spanish civil war and keep hands of
Morocco, were considered a possible
prelude to vast political settlement
France Strengthens Position.
Passage of her own strict neutrality
legislation would place France in a
better position to insist on Hitler S
stopping German volunteer enlist
mentS.
A NaZi promise to that effect and
an agreement to participate in con-
trolled disarmament would be an in
tegral part, it was said, of the settle
ment.
Fuehrer Hitler must also agree, Off
cials indicated, to renounce all terri
tOrial claims in Europe and return to
world economic collaboration.
In consideration of those German
concessions, which it was believed
would eliminate most of Europe's most
pressing problems, France would offer,
it was understood, the three things
Germany most definitely needs-for-
eign markets, raw materials and some
of the colonies she lost at the end of
the World War.
Much of the German support for
the Spanish Fascists, 1t is believed.

The former German possessions of
Togoland and the Cameroons, in

minerals.
