SOON SIT-D0WN
SEEK RELIEF

Cut the "red tape" and "quit
stalling' were the demands of so
persons seeking relief here last
night as they inaugurated a sit
down strike for bigger and faster
relief checks.
Under the leadership Of David
Dixon, who gave only washington
as his address, the group, most of
whom claim to have never been on
relief before, entered their official
demand for food and relief checks
first, then the routine investiga-
ton. They said:
eve want relief. Let them
give us something to eat and q
relief check and then investigate
our cases. The investigating
takes about two weeks. We can
starve in that time. We intend
to sit right here until we get
an order for some food. We pro-
test the red tape necessary to
cut before any action is OBJ
tanned. We also protest the pres
ent relief measure offered in
Congress which would cut the
amount to be used for relief
purposes"
Starting their "sit-down" at the
Federal Emergency Relief offices,
1923 U st. N. w., the group had
dwindled to half today.

By A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Called in special session at the
Thomson School last night to
study the tax situation, the execu-
tive committee o fthe Mid-City
Citizens Association voted unani-
nous Endorsement to the action
of the directors of the Board of
Trade. and to opposition by the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
lions to an additional relief ap-
preparation of $1,O00,00o for the
next fiscal year.
The committee based its atti-
tude on the seasonal letdown in
relief demands during the spring
and summer, and declared the
$1,400,000 approved by the House
in framing the next District sup
ply bill should be ample.
Action also was taken on nine
tax measures introduced by Rep
reSentative Ross Collins. The en-
tire report will be submitted at
the monthly meeting of the as
ISOLATION Monday night at the

DAYLIGHT TIME

The Washington Board Of Trade
is In favor of daylight saving in
the District of Columbia, provided
it is ordered by Congressional &C
ton.
In a letter to Representative
Mary T. Norton, chairman Of the
House District Committee, Edgar
Morris, president of the Board OF
Trade, gave that body's view on
Bill H. r. 6546, which was intro
duced in the House yesterday by
Representative Leon Sacks of
Pennsylvania. The letter said in
part:
"This organization has off
cially adopted a resolution rec
Ommending daylight saving time
through Congressional action.
The basis Of this position is an
Investigation which was made by
our Committee on Industrial
Interests. The sentiment among
business men of the city and
other employers Of large num-
bers Of people. such as the pub
lie utilities, are definitely preju-
diced towards favorable enact
ment of this bill.
"The business men Of Wash
ingtOn, however, are not in ia
vOr of daylight saving time un-

otherwise it would be impossible

'ASTAR IS BORN
 TOPS STATE BILL
Premiere Shown Today of Warner Brothers Story
 of Hollywood

Today marks the premiere of "A Star Is Born" at Warner Brothers State theater where it will play for five days and should witness capa- city houses at every performance.
 Tn many ways "A Star Is Born is one of the most exciting motion pictures in years. Perhaps it is the unfinching honestly of its story, the first wholly satisfactory use of color or the high merit of its actors Probably it is the combination oi these virtues which make the pho toplay one that will be remembered along with '"The Big Parade" ''The Merry Widow" David Copperfield' and "Mutii1y On the Bounty" when ever the great motion pictures are discussed.
 Here is the story of Hollywood laid bare. Here is the aching story that is never told, that is hastily passed over in almost rationa effort to make the screen world . port of dreams, a rainbow land o1 opportunity. And here, with bitter effect, the photoplay comes to life in the ironic triumph of Janet Gay nor, a falling star, in the leading role.
 After ten years of stardom, ant Q year in oblivion, Janet Gaynol scores 8 new triumph in the role of Esther Blodgett, moviestruck girl from 8 mid-western town, whc reads the fan magazines with g furious passion, and dreams that one day she too, will be worshippet like Joan Crawford, Loretta Young or Claudette Colbert. She finally reaches Hollywood where, aftel months of Encouragement, she i' befriended by Norman Maine at dinner party where she is working as second maid.
 Maine, is the ranking hero of tht American screen, whose career i. being tarnished with his reckless behavior.
 The actor, so soon to hit the skids Arranges a screen test for the gir
