CLAYTON BACKED
ASCOMM|SS|ONER
KenilWorth Citizens Group
Acts After Question of
Candidate Policy.

William NICK. Clayton. former
president of the Federation of Citi-
gens' Associations and now chairman
of its Public Utilities Committee, was
Endorsed as worthy successor" to
Commissioner George E. Allen by the
Kenilworth Citizens Association at
meeting list night
Willard A. Driggers, delegate to the
Northeast Conference of Citizens As
sociations from the Kenilworth group,
described Mr. Clayton's many services
to Washington, especially along public
utility lines.
''Mr. Clayton" he said, although
living in different section of the
District has always gone to bat for
'Kenilworth and has been instrumental
in obtaining adequate facilities for this
section. He has never been too busy
to work for the interests of the COM
mon people of Washington"
Although there was some discussion
as to the advisability of backing any
one candidate when so many good
men were in the field, it was pointed
out that some time in the not too dis
tant future Washington should have
q vote and would then be faced with
the problem of choosing between sew
eral candidates. A firm stand on
candidate for the commissionership
was then voted.
Commend Sultan and Allen.
G. Arthur Fuller, vice president OF
the association, introduced resolu-
ton commencing the many fine serV-
Soes of Col. Dan I. Sultan, recently
retired Engineer Commissioner OF the
District, and of Mr. Allen, who retires
September /. Letters of appreciation
will be sent to these two men.
In conjunction with action taken
by the Northeast Conference. the
association recommended that the
proposed Jefferson Memorial be
placed in East Washington, either on
or adjacent to East Capitol street. 1t
was also recommended that the me-
mortal serve some useful purpose
instead of being merely ornamental.
Establishment of university, hospital,
or library was suggested.
Coincidental with this motion, the
association went on record as approv-
ing the erection of future public
building toward the east to relieve
the congestion in Northwest WASH
ington.
Taxi Liability Approved.
The group voted approval on taxi
cab liability bill now before Congress,
which also limits the number of taxis.
A motion was carried to petition
the next session of Congress to appro-
PIRATE greater funds for the extension
of clinical work among school chill
dren in the District. Charles M.
Maiz, president of the association,
stated that many school children were
attending classes in condition ap-
preaching the danger point and that
the charitable work of private doctors
should be aided by larger and better
stated public clinics.
Other business of the meeting in
eluded opposition to too many one
man street cars on the Kenilworth
. line, reports on street repairs in that
section and a resolution suggesting
that only residents whose property
was contiguous to street improvements
should be assessed for those improve
ments.
The meeting, held at the home of
Mrs. Mabel M. Hubbel, secretary of the
association, was the last until Sep
tember.

PARIS, June 25.-Far-f flung aerial
bombardment Of "1talian-dominated
towns in the Balearic Islands have
been threatened by the Spanish gov
ernment unless Generalissimo Franco
quits bombing civilian centers behind
SPANS battlelines
Despite urgent British and French
admonitions against rash acts, the
Spanish Embassy in Paris insisted to-
day that retaliation would be taken
into consideration unless the insur-
gent chieftain abstains from that
type Of warfare.
The Embassy said that since Gen.
Frances raiders operate largely from
the Spanish Balearic Islands. the re-
prisal raids certainly would be di-
rected against ''Italian-dominate
towns there"
Embassy Refuses to Elaborate.
The Embassy itself did not elab-
crate on or confirm previous impli-
cation that the government might
carry aerial warfare to German or
Italian cities or other non-Spanish
objeoives
Sources close to the French office,
however, said the Barcelona govern
ment had threatened to bomb cities
Of those foreign countries which
share responsibility for insurgent
bombardment Of Spanish civilian
centers.
Barcelona authorities insist that
both italian and German planes and
flyers participated in repeated raids
on Spanish coastal cities and towns.
Appeal in Energetic" Terms.
Informed quarters said the French
appeal to Barcelona was made In
energetic" terms and included a
warning that such raids were sure to
bring "A mass reply which would add
materially to the difficulties of the
Spanish Republic and~have dangerous
repercussions in the whole interna-
tional situation"
Barcelona's envoy to Paris was re-
ported to have pointed out the sweep
ing consequences of possible abandon
ment OF the governments non-retalia-
tion policy with severe reprisals against
insurgent centers and more distant
objectives'
Unoflcially, there was speculation
here as to whether more distant OBJ
jectives" mean merely Italian-domi-
mated towns in the Balearics or could
be taken to apply to Italian and Ger
man cities or warships which the gov
ernment command might suspect Of
cooperating with insurgent bombing
planes.
Barcelona Pledges Inquiry Aid.
Barcelona. for the present, promised
cooperation with a neutral commits
sion to investigate aerial attacks in
Spain. The Embassy said its home
