Discussing the significance OF the
poll, he said:
To-day you who live in Washington
have no control whatever over your
own local government are not
represented In Congress, you cast no
vote for the presidency, you have no
part in making decisions which vitality
affect you every day of your lives.
But you are very much concerned
about these decisions You do care
about your health and that Of your
children. You do care about the
amount and the kinds of taxes which
are imposed upon you. You do want
adequate police protection and fire
protection.
You do want adequate health and
housing reguiations-in a city whose
public health system is suffering from
q generation Of neglect. You do want
adequate recreational and educational
facilities. You would like to see an
appropriation which would really
meet the needs of the unemployed in
this city.
"All of these necessary services, In
many of which Washington is tagging,
may be secured and conducted ef-
nciently or ineficiently depending
upon the degree Of intelligent control
which you exercise through your vote.
And If you don't take advantage Of an
opportunity to get the vote when it is
offered to you. you have no one but
yourself to blame"
Fine Expression Of Interest.
In another radio address, Arthur
Clarendon Smith, vice president Of
the Campaign Council of the Citizens
Conference, said he had lived in
Washington for IS years and that
yesterdays attendance at the polls
was "the finest expression Of civic
interest that have ever witnessed"
The balloting was heavy In the
morning and increased in volume dur
ing the afternoon as Government
workers, through for the day, went
to the polling places. The demand
for ballots was so great that IL Of
the polling places ran out OF sup
plies before extra allotments could be
rushed to them from the printer.
In the late afternoon, election ON
cials, swamped by the size OF the
vote, issued emergency appeals for
volunteer helpers.

on beats around the polling places to
lend assistance where needed, and

HURT CUP HOPES

BOSTON, Aug. IS G.N.S0.-A
combination of prison walls and
an Australian veteran tennis team
rose today to bar Germany's path

inSurmountable.
Behind prison walls languished

Without Won Cramm the Ger

cautious in talking about the man
who was suddenly showed behind

Cramm was happy and resigned to
his fate, his family we'll settled
and no change made, could be
drawn from them.
The Germans were not cheered
any by the victory of the Australian
Davis cuppers over the japanese

strongly for the Nipponese to come

prove less tough than the men
