times thinks" that there should be
law to prevent attorneys and other

governmental connection has ended.
His views were expressed in
brief talk this morning to members
of the department staff when Mat
thew F. Mcclure was sworn in as
Special Assistant Attorney General.
Mr.. Murphy, in presenting Mr.. Nc
Cures commission, urged all of his
aids to forget" any political aspira-
tions and repeated that he himself
cherished none.
Mr.. MCGUIRE is taking over a new
position in which he will act as
liaison officer between the Attorney
General and Congress and other
agencies of the Government and will
handle also confidential, legal and
administrative matters. The new
special assistant previously had been
serving as assistant to the Attorney
General. In the latter position he
is succeeded by Edward G. Kemp,
who took oath yesterday.

Griffenhagen Plan
Wins Support Of
HiqhIands Association
Election Of Proposed
Counci! Demanded
BY Citizens

The Griffenhagen report was in
dorsed in principle last night, with
the provision that the proposed city
council be elected by bona f1de resi-
dents of the District, at the monthly
meeting of Washington Highlands
Citizens Association. Voting on the
recommendation of the Legislative
Committee the group stressed that
voice in its own civic management
is absolutely vital to the interests
of local citizens. -
The committee listed prii1cipal oh.
lection to an appointed council on
the grounds that all citizens Of the
Nation are entitled to self govern
ment as a basic democratic right
1t was contended that previous gov
ernment setups in the District have
been contradiction to that prin-
ciple and that it should be estab-
lished as soon as possible.
"The Griffenhagen report is an
excellent opportunity for the author
tiles to vest the elective right in
citizens of Washington" declared
John G. Juergens. member of the
committee. Local civic groups
should press to the fullest extent
of their resources for the adoption
of the report as major step towarj
the realization of complete enfran-
chisement including national repre-
sentation in Congress, Mr.. Juergens
added.
School Board Change Opposed.
1t was also specified that all geo.
graphical sections of the city be
represented on the council.
In connection with the Griffen-
hagen report decision the Highlands
association raised objections to any
proposed changes in the School
Board holding that the board should
be an entirely autonomous body
"answerable to ITSELF Emphasizing
that members of the board be repre-
sentative of the four divisions of
Washington rather than confined
to one or two as has been the prac-
tice in recent years the association
felt that "the will of the citizens in

TWO INJURED IN

Struck while lying on the pave ment of North Riverside street, op- posite Chase Park house, Harry Hastings, 51, of Chase Park ave- nue, was at Waterbury hospital to- day with fractured shoulder and lacerated face, his condition fairly good"

St. Patrick;s Day!
Irish Hearts Thrill to Memories of Ireland's Patron Saint, the History of the Shamrock-P. J. Flaherty Pens Annual Greeting to Readers of
 The Democrat.

marks the coming of St. Patrick to a land of pagans and idolaters. Exiled to this land as slave he found no sign of civilization there. He found the islands surface an area of dense forests and untrod- den quagmires infested with pois- onous reptiles and ravenous beasts of prey. To reclaim this land from those aspects of danger and deso- lation was the first task assigned him by his Creator. Once this task was accomplished his next step was, to under the guidance of Gods own hand, to erect seats of learning SO that his great work could be passed on to the hands of his successors.
 Mindful of the fact that a sym bol of his workings should be given to all future ages, he plant ed the shamrock and bade 1t flourish through all ages to the close of mans stay on this earth.
 The year 460 brought to a close St. Patrick's earthly missions cast ing a cloud of gloom and sorrow throughout the land, but his un- tiring labors of GA years gave to Ireland the graces and bless ings that preserved her as @ peo- pie for seven centuries.
 The Shamrock There's cherished little en-
 blem that only grows in Ireland You'll find it in abundance there
 in every lighted trail In green clad vale and hillside;
 in mountain tops and mireland Beside each hawthorn hedgerow and in each flowery dale. Now they call 1t Fires shamrock
 and holds it still a token That will flow through memory's streamways within the Irish
 mind, .r- The past with all its trailings, its virtue has not broken, But leaves it still to picture the scenes we left behind. Twas planted there by saintly hands to keep anew the teach ingS
 Of one who blessed that Christian land many centuries ago It found a glow to Symbolize the virtues of his teachings And from the source of Gods own work those blessings did bestow. Yes, the shamrock brings to many from their homes across the ocean
 The scenes of happy childhood where they loved to sport and play.
 And blends the heart to those loved scenes with deepest fond devotion
 To blight the bangs of exile on this St. Patrick's Day. In scanning now the shamrock there's a vision spread before me
 Of the winding roads in Fire where the milky hawthorns blow Where the silly air was broken by the music of the song birds Ere the shades of eve hung OCT me many many years ago. I can see that flower bound cot- tage with the woodbine creeping round 1t
 And the boreen circling near it where the banshees used to play. I can trace the spot in memory where in early dawn I found it Fires little shamrock that blessed st.. Patrick's Day.

St. Patrick's Day in Ireland is not only a national holiday as its celebration moulds link in that chain of Catholic virtue long irn- bedded in the Irish heart, but re- wives the spirit dominant in a God-fearing race.
 AS years mark their tread in the unerring wheel of time so will St. Patrick's Day bring to light again the Cody teachings of one who planted the seeds of Catholic ity and Christianity in that little isle many centuries ago.
 At the dawn of early morn tra- ditional traits will be exempli- fled by the Irish soul in the wor-

 Shamrock
 The story of the shamrock needs no reiteration at this date as most readers of comments on St. Patrick's Day will agree with me that its workings in centuries past are an open display of the fruits of Gods own teachings.
 In tracing its history back to the closing years of the fourth century we may also assign it's claim to be effectual in the forma- tion of many channels leading to the light of Christianity in most civilized lands of this world to- day.
 If the pen of the poet and the historian spells the truth, Ireland is the only land that can bear the shamrock and, perhaps, we may say, within the sphere of justice, its workings and accomplishments were never given due conSidera- ton.
 At times I am disregarding cur rent events in reference to Ire lands progress as I find from more reliable sources at a later date that the exception is given to cover up the rule. If any in- ternal dissentions can be laid within the bounds of the Irish Free State it is, I believe, form- ulated by the pen of a foreign propagandist. At the present day Ireland's adherance to the princi- pies long sought for is a lien on her honor that will be preserved at all sacrifices.
