AUTOMOBILE CLUB
GIVES WARNING OF
THUMBINC PESTS

The hitch-hiking pest is in again!
Thumb-jerkers are abroad in the land,
inviting themselves free rides at the
expense of the country's heaviest tax
payers. So many complaints have
reached the Keystone Automobile
Club lately about this highway pest
that the Club feels it necessary to re-
peat its warning against acceding to
the opportunities of the ride grabbers.
So long AS some motorists give
hitch-hikers a lift, so long will this
form of parasite continue to thrive,
Club officials declare. Motorists, it
is asserted, have it well within their
own power to squelch the pest. Unani-
nous refusal of drivers to pick up the
ride moochers would soon put an end
to the practice.
"There is no reason why man who
buys an automobile and pays heavy
tax to operate it should feel under
any obligation to give transportation
to any ride beggar who makes the re-
quest with a jerk of the thumb" said
Matthews P. Hanley, Manager of the
Eastern Shore Division Of the Club.

TAWES CLAIMS SHORE
FOR MAYOR JACKSON

The whole Eastern Shore favor the
election of Mayor Jackson as Cover

in speech at the Princess Anne Vol
unteer Fire Department carnival.
Tawes, who since his announcement
as candidate last October has not
spoken for any of the six men seek
ing the Democratic Gubernatorial
nomination, announced that he would
support the Mayor for the rest of
the campaign. Mayor Jackson was
sitting with him on the platform when
he made his announcement.
Tawes said he had made careful in
quiries throughout the State, "in an

"The reasons behind this suggestion
are all to be found in an interesting

continues. "This booklet is entitled

available, without charge, wherever
Sunoco products are sold.
"Walt Disney has drawn a number
of original illustrations for this book

Mouse, Donald Duck and other Dis
ney characters. Then in simple, nom
technical language, the booklet gives
the why's and wherefores' of motor
knocks and explains how motors can
be kept knockless and powerful for
probably as many miles as you will
want to drive them.

ly free at all Sunoco Service Stations

"I have found an overwhelming SEN
timent for Mayor Jackson's nomina-
tion in every section of the State. The
whole Eastern Shore, with the pos
sible exception of Wicomico county,
is for Mr.. Jackson"
Mr.. Tawes added that Wicomico
county would be for the Mayor if Will
liam S. Gordy, Jr., State Comptroller
and a resident of Salisbury, were not
also a candidate for the nomination.

most 300 people when he arrived in
Princess Anne shortly before z o'clock

his appreciation of Mr.. Tawes' sup

NOT ENOUGH JOBS,
DR.. RAINEY ASSERTS
Ex-Bucknell President Discusses
Problems of 100000
Youths.

The problems Of 100000 young
people who are out Of school and un-
employed were discussed last night by
DR.. Homer P. Rainey, director of the
American Youth Commission, as the
third In a series of Carroll lectures
sponsored by the Boys Guidance As
sociation at the Willard Hotel.
There are mot enough jobs In the
United States to 60 around" the for
mer president of Bucknell University
declared. He described the results
Of his interviews with rs 900 boys be-
tween the ages of 16 and rs and said
the main difIiculty Of these youths
was finding Jobs and keeping them
after they got them.
He suggested a plan of taking care
OF the youths through an educational,
part-time Job program. Gradually
through this vocational guidance the
boys would go from an all-study, no
work program to an all-work program.
Proposing that youth be allowed to
enter the services which are now
undermanned. he said some method
should be found to extend the health
program. 1t is unwise, he said, to
allow group like the American Medi-
cal Association to limit the number
OF people going into medical service
or the American Federation Of Labor
10 limit apprenticeships
One OF the most serious consequences
OF the joblessness Of youth, he said,
was the reduction Of the number of
young people getting married and the
resultant decline In the birth rate,

D, c. INCOME TAX
EXEMPTIONS HIT
Mid.City Citizens Demand
U. S, Officials Be Made
to Pay Levy.

The bill to exempt members Of
Congress and other high Government
officials from payment of District in
come tax met with vigorous" opposi-
ton last night as the Midcity Citizens
Association scored the measure as
unjust discrimination" in taxation
principle. An original draft of the
disapproving resolution offered by As
sociation Secretary M. E. Salisbury was
discarded for substitute of more
forceful wording" which was deemed
necessary by Nathan Lubar. member
of the group.
Mr.. Lubar's proposal pointed ont
as an example that Congressman are
exempted from the tax in their own
respective States as we'll and signitied
that the citizens should register firm
objection to the enactment OF any
other form of taxation that does not
place every person who derives in
come in the District on the same
footage" in taxation.
Senator King and Representative
Palmisano will receive copies Of the
resolution.
Recreation Bill Changes Urged.
Three amendments to the Senate
bill creating a recreation board were
proposed in resolution which ap-
proved, however. the principle Of uni
f1cation of recreational activities. Be-
lieving that the measure as it now
stands would not accomplish CO.
ordination satisfactorily to all of the
now existing agencies and to the ma
jority of District residents" the Mid
city voted that citizen representation
on the board be increased from one to
five members, at least two Of whom be
women and all of whom be residents OF
the District for at least five years; that
the bill contain guarantees and safe
guards" which will insure no en-
croachment upon the control Of school
property nor interfere with school pro-
grams" and that where qualifications
are equal' appointments of co-ordi-
nator and his staff be made from ap-
plicants resident in the District for q
period OF nVe years.
Change in the automobile registra-
ton deadline from January l to April
l was advocated by the group, which
felt that the switch would stimulate
business, increase automotive tax rev.
enue and benefit motorists" since the
period Of Christmas and first-of- the
year expenses would not conflict.
Ban on Marihuana Favored.
Legislation to forbid under penalty
the manufacture, sale or gift of mari
huana in the District of Columbia was
voted. George A. Warren emphasized
that the medical profession regards
the habit-forming drug as of little
or no value in practice" hence It's
traf1ic should be "scotched at the be-
ginning"
The proposed amendment to the
Alcohol Beverage Control Act extend-
ing from 400 to 600 feet the residen-
tial boundary limit surrounding Ii
oensed liquor places was disapproved
unanimously.
Commendation was accorded the
Capital Transit Co. in removing the
abandoned street car tracks on Ninth
street between G street ana New York

the company would be prompt to
continue such work In all parts Of the

PARAGRAPH1Cs

The application for an NYA project to con-
struct 100 sheds in Ashe county for the con-
vience and safetysof the children while waiting
for school buses, strikes us as being one of the
most useful and humanitarian public works
activities ever presented to the federal govern
ment for approval. Building roads, school
buildings, community clubhouses, municipal
edifices and so on are worthwhile projects and
contribute something of permanent value to the
community, but these little proposed sheds
strike us as being home by the side of the
road, refuge to the future citizenship of Ashe
county from storms, rain hail, sleet, snow, ice,
cold winds, as place of safety from rapidly
passing traffic, as a good place for the little
"tots" to pause and "catch their breaths" on cold
and hot days. Little Sheds we are for you be-
cause you are for our little children"

His face grew pale and drawn.
