Frances faith in the tripartite
monetary accord, linking her curren-
cy with the British pound and
American dollar, was reaf11rmed by
the finance minister, who said any
exchange control would solve none
of the nations problems.
Bookkeeping Operation.
Financial experts pointed out that
revaluation of the Bank of Frances
gold was merely an internal book
keeping operation and would have
no effect directly on the francs
value in foreign exchange.
M. Reynaud said the decree laws
were designed to create "a more lib
eral regime for prices, credit and
labor" He declared the new taxes
represented an increase of Is CEN
times (about one-fourth of United
States cent? per day for each
Frenchman and chiefly hit the rich.
After three separate cabinet meet
ings at Elysee Palace, lasting hours
and 20 minutes, Albert Sarraut, min
lister of interior, emerged tonight

Despite M. Sarraut's announce
ment it was later learned omcially
that certain DEGREES concerning the
ministry of commerce would be de-
layed for further consideration by
the cabinet on Monday.
Officials said that one Of the de-
crees approved created q force of
$500 new border guards which would
cut down the number OF foreigners
entering France illegally.
Daladier Addresses Veterans.
The premier, addressing large
delegation of war. veterans assem-
bled with their 20-year-old battle
flags in the courtyard of the war
ministry, said it was now or never
if they wanted democratic France
to regain her former power and
prestige. Radio carried M. Daladier's
address to the Nation.
He said he would give the veter-
ans the strong government they de-
manded, and added the government
not only would ask but would de-
mand the cooperation Of the peo-
pie.
M. Daladier declared bitter rival
rieS among Frenchmen must be
abandoned. Increased production,
he said, was one Of the greatest
needs.
Appealing to "all classes and all
Frenchmen," the premier asked un-
stinting contribution Of work,
money and intelligence,

On This Story

Because its title is too long to
fit into newspaper headlines, the
Bladensburg Road Citizens Associa-
ton may change its name.
Suggestions for new name will
be received tomorrow night when the
group meets In the Church of Christ,
Twenty-eight and Douglas streets,
NE, President John D. Wolfe said
A discussion will be held on the best
method Of selecting new name. Mr..
Wolfe said a desire to change its
name has arisen among the member
ship because of the existence of q
citizens association in Maryland
known as the Bladensburg Citizens
Association.
Newspaper headlines over accounts
Of the Maryland and the District
groups are often confusing because
both names are too long to be carried
in the banners, he said.
What we want" Mr.. Wolfe said,
"is a name that will designate us
as District association and not one
of Maryland"

Militia HOUSING
IN WEST STUDIED
Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox to
Inspect Structures for
Troops.

Selling the opportunity offered by
his attendance at the convention OF
the National Guard Association Of the
United States at San Francisco, Brig.
Gen. Albert L. Cox, commanding the
District National Guard, plans to
gather some first-hand information on
the militia armory situation in other
parts of the United States. When he
left Washington he planned to visit
several towns in the West to look into
the armory question. Planned stops
included Chicago, Kansas City and
some cities in Texas.
In view Of the serious setbacks which
the armory project has received here
during the past year, it is quite
certain that the efforts to obtain
suitable building for the training Of
the local troops will be taken direct to
Congress at the next session. When
they go. the officers charged with the
duty OF training the troops are ex-
pected to have plenty of facts and
figures on what is being done in the
States to house the militia, while the
National Capital goeson year after
year with its fight. ending up at each
with nothing, and with the present
delapidated armories getting worse.
Although the local officers have
made their plea to the District Com
missioners for an inclusion of esti-
mates to cover construction Of an
armory in the District budget, they
are doubtful that the city heads will
provide for such large expenditure,
especially in view of the fact that there
are many other District projects which
are in need of funds.
The armory is on the site which has
been selected as that for the new Free
Public Library. If funds are provided
for this project. then the Guard will
be faced with the problem Of finding
another large building.
Unless Congress Is fully impressed
with the situation, 1t may be necessary
to scatter the various units about the
city in small buildings, and this is held
by the officers as not conducive to the
best running Of military organiza-
ton. This situation is expected to be
brought directly to the attention of
Congress, together with the fact that
the local militia is not being treated as
well as the organizations in the States.

the Stanton Park group at that time.
Two years later, at what time in 1928

became delegate to the Federation.
Messrs. Stull and Gregory are proud
Of their lengthy record of consecutive
service. Il don't suppose the Fedora
ton would know how to function II

tive in civil affairs, Messrs. Stull and
Gregory expect to continue in their
capacity at the Federation as long as
their association sees fit to elect them.
Federation Praised.
Fifteen years is long time to
stay in one place." said Mr.. Stull, but
if we have remained in one place the
fortunes of the Federation have con-
tinued to move forward. As long as

people OF Washington through the
Federation we will continue to remain
In the same place"
Mr.. Stull has been invited to at
tend meeting Of the Metropolis View

BIG WATER WELL
AS NElHBOR KICKS


LEwTSTOwN-The 25, O0O-barrel
gusher (water) near the city limits
of Lewistown has already become
involved in controversy as a land
owner a mile and half distant has
complained that the well has effect
ed the flow Of his wells, altering the
quality OF the water.
The big water well drilled by the
Flathead-Lewistown group was look
ed upon as a possible source Of
water for the city but 1t was found
to be five times as hard as city
water. with a high mineral and sui
phate content, making 1t unfit for
purposes. This left II
suitable for irrigation.
The owners are now contemplat-
ing shutting off the water and con-
tfnuing on down to the next sand,
in the hope Of finding oil as indi-
Gated by the ''doodlebug" which
was used TO spot the location.
There has been rumor that the OPP
orator had the wrong tube in the
divice At the time he found the pool,
which would serve TO explain why II
was q giant water gusher rather
han an oil well.
