NJ REORGANIZATION OF the Dis
trict government set-up has con-
tinued to be the chief topic OF
discussion in the civic groups.
The right of suffrage has been
stressed in most instances. OBJ
tections to the mechanics Of the
so-called Seal plan have been

Board of Tax Appeals. transfer OF

Department to the Board of Pub
"a lie Welfare and the merger OF
the Department of Vehicles and
- Traffic with the Police Depart
ment.
Organizations continue to ap-
prove elimination of the Bureau
Of the Budget from the budget
b, ary procedure of the District and
the sending direct to Congress Of
District estimates.
The public has again been ap-
prised of the intended retirement
Of Elwood Seal from the Office
Of corporation counsel. At the
request of the Commissioners he
Is to remain in Office until the
completion and introduction in
y Congress of the reorganization
bill.
The outstanding event of the
week was the annual dinner of
the Association of the Oldest In
habitants of the District of Co.
iumbia in celebration of its 74th
birthday anniversary. AS usual
the dinner was held in the Ra-
leigh Hotel and was attended by
3 number of those prominent in
the civic army which fights for
Washington.
~ National representation and
equitable fiscal relations between
'' the District and the Nation were
the keynotes OF the occasion.
Political equity and fiscal equity
for the District are always en-
{ bodied in the slogan of this Or
ganization Of the elder citizens
x who President Noyes affection
ately addresses as Fellow
Patriarchs."
The Association of Oldest In
habitants, though old in years,
is young and up-to-date in spirit.
One is old when he lives in the
past. on the past and for the
past. One who lives in the pres
{ ent. on the past and for the
- future is still young So. meas
q ured by this rule laid down by
the Rev. U. G. B. Pierce, the
Oldest Inhabitants are still
young. They do reminisce, they
do study the Districts past his
tory, but they apply the knowl-
edge acquired to their study and
intelligent action on the prob
lens of the present and plans for
the continued advancement of
the Distrist for the future.
There is a tendency to a little
slowing down in civic activities
due to the approach of the
Christmas season. Shopping de-
mands necessarily turn the ener-
gies into other channels.

Moral Bankruptcy Abroad
Imposes a Civic Obligation.

Last Sundays Star carried
strong editorial under the title
of Moral Bankruptcy" It told
of the international dishonesty
between some nations in Europe
and Asia. An utter disregard
exists for treaties and national
rights and of rights of person,
soil or life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness. These nations
appear to have regard for neither
the laws of God nor man.
The leaders in this reign of
terror are those nations which
have practically outlawed the
practice of religion and the op-
Grafton of the churches.
A cornerstone of the United
States of America is the right to
worship God according to the
dictates of ones conscience. The
churches have always been recog-
nized as the predominant human

Washington Airport Featured
At Board of Trade Meeting.

The Washington Board of
Trade at its meeting next Thurs
day night will have as its
feature the washington Air
port, now under construction at
Gravelly Point. The principal
speaker will be Oswald Ryan, a
member of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority. Col. Sumpter Smith,
the engineer Immediately in
charge of the airport, viii explain
many of the unusual features be-
ing incorporated in the design.
This meeting comedies, within
a few days of the anniversary of
the Wright brothers first flight
at Kitty Hawk, N. c. 1t. is also
interesting that this airport
evening is in charge of the
president of the board, Law
renee Williams, who was chair
man of the committee which in
1928 recommended the Gravelly
Point site. The Board of Trade
through the adoption of that re-
port became the first local organ
ization to recommend Gravelly
Point as the ideal site for the
Washington Airport. 1t con-
tinued to support that position
until now it is only a question Of
physical completion when 1t will
be an accomplished fact and the
National Capital will have what
will probably be the finest civil
airport in the world.

:Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Commissioners Reorganization Proposals
o Expected Next Friday

slant stream of repeaters among
the drunks admitted to the penal
institutions. He urged the carry
ing on of this work through a
proper institution, both as good
business and as a humanitarian
measure.
Various civic groups gave their
approval to the proposal Of the
Commissioner, but 1t has so far
been impossible to get the re-
quired item in the budget. It
may be that the reason for its
failure to receive the required
official approval was the sugges-
ton, in some quarters, that If
such an institution is created, it
should be supported by an addi-
tional tax on the liquor industry.
It appears, however, that the
large revenue at present derived
from the local traffic in alcoholic
beverages is ample to provide the
funds to cover the cost of the
establishment Of a modern in
ebriate farm and sanatorium
for the treatment of these cases.
A number of citizens regard this
as much a part of the legitimate
overhead of alcoholic beverage
control as the salaries and Incl
dental expenses of the A. B. G.
Board.
Judges of the Police Court, who
are daily brought in contact with
these unfortunate human dere-
licts, recognize the need for a
proper place to which these vic
tins of a licensed industry may
be sent.
Recently Judge Curran had be-
fore him a Well-educated man, a
university graduate, who he was
able to send to a private sara-
torium for treatment. This was
only possible through an offer to
the judge from the institution to
voluntarily take one such case.
There Is no available informa-
ton as to the intent of the Com
missioners regarding any item for
the inebriate farm and sana-
torium for the next fiscal year.
The need is great for the treat
ment of these men and women,
and many in the civic groups are
ready to support the proposal.

Solons Refused to

WASHINGTON-The deci-
sive factor in the senate de-
cision to lay neutrality legis-
lation on the shelf until next
January was their refusal to
accept the Roosevelt-Hull con-
tention that a European war
is imminent.
At the famous White House con-
ference the president painted q
gruesome picture of an outbreak
late in the summer. based on diplo-
matte sdvices. But the senator's,
both Republicans and Democrats,
have long suspected that our con-
tinentsl outposts especially Ken
nedy and Bullitt we're slsrmists.
They also noted. ironically. that
this in not horse and buggy
country" and that congress can De
convened in special session for
emergency action If Hitler does
march. Lastly. they insisted that
the president give them time TO
consult their constituents TO take
the issue to The people.
Despite Borah's thrust TO me
