 I was surprised also to see that Roger Connor, Independent Democratic candidate for mayor two years ago, was given no place on the Switchel ballot. MT. Con- nor made the running under diffi- culties. That he did not win was no fault of his. I had little use for the group whose leader he was. But he did make the fight openly and frankly whereas some of the nominees on the Switchel ticket secretly contributed money to his cause at the same time they were protesting to the heavens that they were regular Democrats. Mir. Connor had the courage of his convictions wrong as they were. His secret supporters who have been honored @ by being given spots on the Switchel ticket did not even have the courage of their lack of convictions. But maybe here again am wasting my sym pathy. Maybe MT. Connor did not care for a nomination as a Switchelite. If he did and did not get it he may hug this grim satis- faction to his heart. His licking is over. Theirs Is to come.

bassador Myron T. Herrick, he got some rest and food-he had eaten only a sandwich and g half on his hight-and listened to the roar of an intending stream of Parisians outside demanding to see him. Time and again he came out onto the bal- cony to be cheered. And then be- gan the round of receptions and honors in France, England and Bel gium, long list of tributes and decorations, and word from home of great honors awaiting him there.
 To show his gratitude to the over enthusiastic Paris crowd Lindbergh flew for them, and even insisted on stunting in an unfamiliar plane. Herrick called him the new ambas- sador, and indeed, it did appear that he had done more for the friendship between America and the countries of western Europe than any diplo- mats up to that time.
 Finally, in June, he went home on a warship which President Coolidge sent for him, and here, again, horl- orS were conferred on him until he surely couldn't remember them all.
 That great flight was only the be- ginning of Lindbergh's career. In the years that have elapsed, since 1927, he has done much for avia- tion-inapped air routes on land and sea, acted as technical advisor to the government and to 8 trans-contt-
 aenal air line, made goodwill trips and kept up untiring activity for aviation.

Powers in Line
Meanwhile, disclosure of the
health hazards under which a
large number of Washington resi-
dents are living brought other Fed
eral and District powers behind
the move to make available the
facilities which are commonplace
in any modern community.
Representative Millard F. Cald-
we'll CD Of Florida described as
"a crying need" the fact that
dwellers in Washington Highlands
are so handicapped. Lack of run
ming water, sewers and toilets, he
declared, constitutes "a condition
which should be remedied."
To this end, Representative
Caldwell promised his cooperation,
but advised that the citizens of
the area blighted by the lack of
modern sanitary facilities should
clay a barrage" on District Off.
Gals rather than on Congress for
correction of these evils. In ex-
PLANTATION, Caldwell pointed out
that it is not likely that the
Appropriations subcommittee will

Action Promised
If the subcommittee does indorSe
the move to clean up the santa
tion problem of Washington High
lands, House action along this line
will find a champion in Repre-
sentative James P. Richards CD
of South Carolina. The solon said
he would do "all in my power" to
bring about extension of the
sewers and water lines.
At the same time, a recital of
the Southeast residents plight was
receiving hearing at the District
Building. Voiced by the Rev.
George j. Cannon, of the Wash
ington Highlands Baptist Church,
the plea that his parishioners and
neighbors be afforded the ordi-
nary, everyday conVeniences COM
mon throughout the rest of the
city was received "sympatheti-
cally" by District Commissioner
Melvin C. Hazen.
