BARNEY JACKSON DEFENDS
COUNTY DELEGATION

Editor, The Times: l would
like to have you print an answer
to an article which appeared in
Feb. Is issue of that column,
under the caption, Legislators
Might Answer This One" by Pat
Wright. Mr.. Wright happens to
be a good friend of mine and I
want him and the rest of the
citizens of Tacoma to be in
formed of what has been going
on as far as the Pierce county
delegation is concerned.
First of all I want to say that
there were seven members from
Pierce county who asked to be
put on the Unemployment and
Relief committee but other than
that, the liberals did not have
anything to say in regard to Sc
lecting committee assignments.
Not one of us was recognized
and put on that committee. not
withstanding Pierce county is
the second largest county in the
state.
Whoever that member of the
house was who informed Mr..
Wright that the Pierce county
delegation traded off their COM
mittee assignments for jobs, they
misinformed the writer of this
article The only representa-
tives from Pierce county that
received patronage were Vane,
Rosellini. Cameron, Sandegren
and Jackson. Chervenka and
Montgomery had to take one
patronage between the two of
them. Pierce coultys outstand-
ing liberal, who is Gerald Dixon,
who happens TO be the leader of
Pierce county delegation, did
not receive a patronage and
neither did Rep. Pettus nor Rep.
Trombley.
He also mentions in his article
that Sen. kerstetter and Rep.
Barney Jackson are the only
ones that are going to town for
the people. l might say that the
delegation headed by Gerald
Dixon. is working together in
behalf of Tacoma and Pierce
county. and l believe that if
there is credit to be given il
should be given to the delega-
ton.
Although we might differ on
various pieces of legislation we
have not had any relief bills in
troduced into the house as yet,
so can't say how the entire dele
CATION will vote, but l can assure
YOU that the liberals will vote
for the people who sent them TO
the legislature.
I might mention that in my
opinion the house of representa-
tives will support a good old age
assistance program and not what
was passed in the senate 8 few
weeks ago also want TO men,
ton that Pierce county can be
proud of having senators who
are fighting for the liberal cause
such as Sen. Kathryn Malstrom
and Sen. kerstetter. Their vote
on Senate Bills 46. Al and IS
showed that they were voting
as the people wished them
10 do
I don't believe that one or two
should be given the credit for
the entire Pierce county delega-
ton. There IS one thing that l
can do, and that is 10 speak at
this time for the house members.
II. \. BARNEY" JACKSON.

Barrett Asks Increase
In Funds for D. +.
Recreation System
l0-Yeor Lag Seen
In Improving Areas
Already Purchased

Congress is to be asked to pro-
vide IN the next District Appropria-
ton Act a material increase in funds
for the improvement of units in the
public recreation system.
This was revealed yesterday by
Lewis R. Barrett, director of pub
lie recreation for the District, at
meeting of the Recreation Com
mittee of the Council of Social
Agencies.
There is l0-year lag in pro-
viding recreational facilities and
equipment for the land purchase by
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission" Mr.. Barrett told
the committee.
Money has been provided for
the purchase Of land, but little or
no money for improving the land"
he continued. "A vacant piece of
ground is not playground, but it
must be made attractive to those
expecting to use it and contain
equipment for leisure time activity
OF all sorts"
Present Fund Held Small.
Mr.. Barrett said some improve
ments of few Fairgrounds have
been accomplished with w. P. A. and
other relief labor, but that the pres
ent s25,000 appropriation for a
w. P. A. sponsors contribution to
the project was inadequate to pur-
chase the necessary supplies to
carry on the work.
For tie coming year Mr.. Barrett
said he mas been offered the Coop
Grafton of the three C. c. c. camps
of the Office of National Capital
Parks in improving the units, and
also Is requesting an increased ap-
preparation for sponsors contribu-
ton.
Mr. Barrett emphasized the desire
of his department to cooperate fully
with the private recreational agen-
cies and invited them to consult with
him on the use Of school and play
ground facilities.
Hugo N. Wolter. recreation sec
retary of the Council of Social
Agencies, pointed out to the COM
mittee the importance of volunteer
leadership in the programs of pri-
vate recreational agencies. There
are many persons in church groups
who would like to give volunteer
service. and there should be drawn
into the program" he said
Improve With Service.
Mr.. Wolter recognized as justi-
fable the feeling of many agencies
that volunteers are in many cases
unframed, but he maintained that
with the proper supervision volun-
teers could be given viewpoint
Of responsibility.
Continuance Of the choral groups
now practicing for participation in
the Community Chest mass meet
ing November 6 was suggested by
Mr., Wolter for consideration of
the recreation agencies. He sug-
gested that spring festival be
planned to keep the choral groups
busy after Christmas.
He also announced that a Sec
ton of the Chopawamsic recrea-
ton demonstration area in Virginia
Is available for winter camping for
short periods and volunteered to
assist over week ends in the or
ganlzation of groups from any of the
settlements or other recreational
organizations.
