agreements reached Saturday in the
spectacular interview between Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler and Austria's Chancel-
lor Kurt Won Schuschnigg at Hitler's

schuschnigg discussed his interview
with Hitler for many hours with Mix

and other ministers. but late today had
failed to gain their approval.
Informed sources said Schuschnigg
reminded Hitler Saturday that any
thing agreed between them would be
subject to Miklas' acceptance. The
President was said to be withholding
this because he objected to Hitler's
suggestion that Nationalist or Nazi
be made Austria's minister of the
interior in full charge of police.
The r-Schuschnigg understand
ing was reported to include references
to ending German Nazi propaganda
in Austria, to Austria permitting Nazi
meetings as freely as monarchist
meetings and to Austrian cabinet
changes favoring Nazis or at least
Nationalists

CHILD VANDALISM
CURBS |NDORSED
Chevy Chase Citizens Group
Asks More Fairgrounds
and Scout Activities.

Members of the Chevy Chase Citi-
Eens' Association went on record last
night as "decrying" vandalism in that
section and Endorsed a program de-
signed to minimize the willful destruc-
ton Of property by children.
The meeting was called as result
OF the destruction of valuable prop
erty in the home of Mr.. and Mrs
William Frank Thyson, but that case
was not mentioned by name.
The program indorsed by the asso-
citation called for the establishment of
more troops of Boy Scouts and Girl
Scouts, closer cooperation between
parents and police and school authori-
ties. more playground and recreation
facilities and some form of local Hal
loween celebration.
Mothers Letter Read.
Donald N. Carpenter, vice presi-
dent OF the group. opened the dis
cusslon by reading letter from an
unidentified mother of one of the
children who entered the Thyson
home. The letter, after stating that
published statements of damage done
in the Thyson home were 10 times
the actual amount, asserted that
causes Of child vandalism often lie
outside the best of homes, mentioning
particularly unduly exciting radio
broadcasts, movies and newspaper
articles. The writer also expressed
the belief that too much freedom for
children is a dangerous commodity,
although stressing the value Of teach
ing them self-reliance.
Among the speakers who discussed
problems raised by child vandalism
were Capt. Dudley N Carpenter,
U. S. N. Medical Corps, retired; Capt.
Lloyd E. Kelly of the eighth precinct,
Miss Margaret R. Pepper, principal
of the E. V. Brown School, and Lynn
c. Drake, chief Scout executive of
the District.
Parent Failure Charged.
These speakers emphasized that
child vandalism is almost always a
result of neglect in the home. a failure
on the part of parents to educate
lol tllc tdSh VI rearing
children and a disinclination to stress
spiritual values, discipline and sense
OF responsibility. The need for
wider range of supervised recreation
for children and the deSirability of
keeping check on the uses to which
spending money is put also were
discussed.
Suffrage for the District was in
dorsed in principle, and the organ
tzation adopted a resolution calling
for a house-to-house canvass to get
out the vote in the forthcoming refer
endum on that subject.
Introduced by Edwin S. Hege, former
president of the group, the motion was
embodied in about 5000 leaflets to be
distributed in the association area ex-
planning the issues involved in the
referendum and urging the necessity
Of participation.
Failure to vote. it was pointed out,
would be an indication to Congress
that the civic barometer is very low"
For those residents who have no way
OF getting to the polls, the resolution
also indicated to whom they might
call for transportation.
