Northeast Conference
Citizens Back Drive on
Sa|acious Literature
Organizations Propose
Abandoned Fire Stations
Become Branch Libraries

Removal of salaciouS literature
from the newsstands of the District
was urged last night at meeting
of the Northeast Conference of the
Citizens Associations, which repre-
sents II civic organizations.
The conference took up the long
standing fight of the Trinidad Citi-
Gems Association when a motion
demanding elimination of all OBJ
scene literature from newsstands to
protect children of school age was
introduced by Earl H. Pickel, dele
gate from that association. Banning
the literature was seen as the first
step toward reducing the great
amount of juvenile delinquency in
District schools. Mr.. Pickel said the
periodicals in question are available
at very low price, and their sale
has increased tremendously during
the last few years.
Reported use of marijuana ciga-
rettes and other sensual practices
by juveniles of school age was dis
cussed by the group.
Seek Cross Town Bus.
Crosstown bus service, connect
Ing Bladensburg vicinity directly
with upper Connecticut and Wiscon-
sin avenues NV. was favored. The
extension of the Trinidad-Gl
Park line was discussed as an aid
to the problem. A committee of six
was appointed to make plans for OBJ
tanning the service.
Views of the Trinidad associa-
ton opposing the merger of Fire
Truck Company No. Is with Engine
Company No. 10 were upheld by
the conference. The group also
asked that any buildings left va
cant by the proposed merger of
fire companies be converted into
branch libraries. A new delegate,
N. E. Phillips of Metropolis View
Citizens Association, asked that the
Woodbridge library be opened on five
nights week instead of two. He
suggested new, larger branch
library as an alternative.
Investigation of smoke reported
coming from laundry and straw
factory in the Northeast section
near the Metropolis View Associa-
tons territory was asked.
More efficient snow removal in the
future also was asked.
To Hear Welfare Talks.
A motion calling for a large in
crease in the appropriation for local
welfare work, to help raise living
conditions and thus reduce crime in
the District, was tabled when it was
decided to invite informed persons
to speak at the next meeting The
increase was to be used to employ
more case workers. The guests in
vited to speak are Robert E. Bondy,
welfare director of the District;
George j. Cleary. president of the
Trinidad Citizens Association, and
F.. j. Mcdonald, eX-president of the
Dahlgren Terrace Association.
Senator Tydings' bill to broaden
the scope of free education of nom
resident students in Washington
public schools was opposed unani-
mously and Senator Kings attitude
toward the matter was commended.
Erection of some means of pro-
lection to pedestrians along rail-
road tracks at Evart street NE.
near Twenty-fourth street was urged
An underpass was suggested.
The meeting was held in the
Twelfth Precinct Police Station.

Spain said he and R. R. Nc.
Laughlin, director Of the motor

hearing left enough question in Oar

MaxweH Denies He Authorized
Assessing OfM {. Patrolmen

RALEIGH, Feb. 10.-P REEVE
nue. Commissioner A. J. Maxwell,
a candidate for governor, issued a
statement from Asheville last night
saying he had not authorized the
assessment of any employe Of the
department of revenue for his cam
paign.
Said Maxwell:
II have not only not authorized
assessment of any employe of the
department of revenue for my cam
paign, but have discouraged contri-
buttons and insisted that if contri-
buttons are voluntarily made from
the meager salaries paid they
should be in purely nominal sums.
Il have naturally appreciated the
loyalty and friendship of members
of my organization, but would not
tolerate the use of pressure in any
FORM
Both Maxwell and the command
ing officer of the highway patrol,
Major John T. Armstrong, said that
suggestions for contributions had
been made without Maxwells

knowledge. No attempt, Armstrong
said, was made to make the contri-
buttons compulsory.
Meanwhile Governor Hoey said
he planned to investigate the re-
ports that the highway patrolmen
had been told by their commanding
officer that regular monthly contri-
buttons to Maxwell's campaign fund
would be appreciated"
Armstrong said that the idea of
contributions of 81 a month from
each of the ITO patrolmen was ad.
vanced in Charlotte January .3 at
an informal gathering of a few pa
troll officers.
Said Armstrong:
Several Of us in Charlotte were

sorry nor was the suggestion com.

that I knew he would appreciate
any amount they wanted to give"
