For Meetings Urged

Keeping Parkview School open
possibly three nights a week for
community gatherings was urged by
the Parkview Citizens Association at
meeting held last night in the
school. H. H. Moore, in making the
motion, pointed to Boy Scout and
Girl Scout meetings as well as other
community gatherings which the
school could well serve.
Fred S. Walker, who presided in
the absence Of the president, B. j..
Kruger, asked that the association
be put on record as renewing its
sponsorship for Troop 40 of the Boy
Scouts. This troop has been spon-
sored by the Parkview Association
for many years, said John S. Cole,
association secretary and scoutmas-
ter Of the troop.
Mr.. Walker declared it the sense
Of the association that a warehouse
to be built behind a grocery store
on Georgia avenue, between Park
road and Newton street NV, was
favored. No dissent WAS made.
The association was told that be-
ginning october IS, a new street car

trail nations, be ready to use its good
ofhces to promote peace.
While the administration has been
unwilling to discuss the prospects
Of a move toward peace, 1t Is under
stood that this Government would
give serious consideration to any
specific proposal looking toward an
armistice and peace which might
come from the beligerent powers.
That, it seems, is as far as the
administration properly could go.
The peace move of Hitler has been
expected for some time-and 1t was
expected that it would be made when
and If the German Army had sub
dued Poland. Critics of attempts,
now, for peace are quick to say that
there would be no use in an armistice
and peace compacts. since Hitler has
shown he is not to be trusted. How
ever. it is for Great Britain and
France-who are actually engaged
in war with Germany-to pass on
that subject, unless the United
States, which so far has no part in
the conflict, decides that 1t is an
American duty to see that hostilities
are continued. If the last is the
attitude Of America, then the
sooner peace talk Is cast aside in
this country and a frank declara-
ton that this country will intervene
IN a military way on behalf of the
allies, the sooner the atmosphere
will be cleared.
Asks Time for Examination.
The argument was advanced yes
terday In the Senate by Senator
johnson. Democrat. OF Colorado
that If the great desire Of the Ameri-
can people-to remain out OF war
Is to be gratif1ed, the surest way
would be for peace to be restored in
Europe. That, he contends, would
be surer than the passage of the
pending neutrality bill with its re-
peal Of the present arms embargo
and its adoption Of cash-and-carry
plan in all trade with belligerent
nations. So strongly did the Colo
RADIO Senator feel about the matter
that he proposed three-day recess
OF the Senate, with cessation of all
talk about the war, while the ma.
tions in Europe especially involved
were examining the peace proposal
advanced by Hitler and counter pro-
posals which France and Britain
might make.
Administration forces in the
Senate. however, were unwilling to
adopt the course suggested by Sen
ator johnson. 1t is the purpose of
the supporters of the arms embargo
repeal to press for favorable action
on that issue at the earliest possible
date. Those who believe that the
repeal Of the embargo will be dis

Of the opinion that by such action
France and Britain would be
strengthened in any negotiation for

Senators Watch Intensely.
There seems no doubt, however,
that the discussion Of peace has be-
come factor in the Senate situa-
ton. This, Of course, may change
overnight, particularly II the British
and French make 1t clear that they
are not willing to come to terms with

By the Associated Press.
TULSA, Aug. 18.-Oildom was
head over heels in confusion today
after Sinclair, the major buyer
which started an avalanche of crude
oil price cuts, quit posting its prices
in four States without explanation.
The puzzling turn followed the
about-face of two independent COM
panieS which rescinded previous re-
luctlons of 20 cents barrel.
Sinclair Prairie Oil Marketing Co.
issued a cryptic statement that at
7 am. it would, until further notice,
discontinue posting the price that 1t
would pay for crude oil" in Texas,

Officials Silent.
Sinclair officials declined comment
and observers said they did not un-
derstand it.
Oil wells remained shut down in
