Hampshire Heights Citizens
Told More Police Needed

The Metropolitan Police Depart
ment is "woefully undermined"
Washington I. Cleveland. manager
of the Washington Club Of the
American Automobile Association,
told members of the Hampshire
Heights Citizens Association last
night at its first meeting of the
fall season.
Comparison of 1880 and 1910
census figures shows a vast increase
in the population, but only a small
increase in the personnel of the
Police Department, Mr. Cleveland
said, adding that the department
needs at least 282 new men to
reduce traffic fatalities. He urged
the association to back the demands
for more police to prevent sabotage.
Mr.. Cleveland recommended also
that parents of children going to
school for the first time instruct
them on the safest route to
school and explain the lights and
pedestrian control devices. He also
asked the citizens to help reduce
the pedestrian death toll, as Wash
ington is centered in a Nationwide
A. A. A. contest for pedestrian death
reduction.
The association passed resolu-
ton urging that funds be appro-
priated to reopen the 100000 Dis
trict testing laboratory for testing
materials for the city. Another res
olution commended President Roose-
welt on the passage of the con-
scription bill

Third Term Candidacy
Ey the Associated Press.


cambridge Colby. Secretary Of
State in President Wilson'S cabinet,
told a Senate Judiciary Subcommit-
tee today that President Roosevelt
had, by his own actions. made the
"weightiest contribution to the
argument against third term"
by his course as President
candidate prior to the nominating
convention at Chicago" Mr.. Colby
declared, his direction of its pro-
ceedings and his subsequent actions
as it's third-term candidate, he has
contributed a perfect illustration of
every danger and evil which Jeffer-
son foresaw so clearly and against
which he warned his countrymen so
earnestly"
Mr.. Colby advocated constitu-
tional amendment, under study by
the subcommittee, to limit presi-
dental tenure to a single term of
six years.
Oswald Garrison Willard. New
York editor, testified that 1T is a
primary consideration with me that
the attempt to violate the no-third-
term tradition shall be rebuked at
the polls, since otherwise the road to
dictatorship is open"
He proposed that the presidency
be limited to a single five-year term
instead Of six years.

On DAUGHTER at Gibraltar

Mrs. Dorothy K. Butler, 1881
Tennyson street NV, sought infor-
nation through the State Depart
ment today concerning the safety
of her daughter, Mrs. Jeanne Butler
Dixon, who was believed in Gibral-

entertainment of British troops at
the fortress.
Having heard nothing from her
since, Mrs. Butler said she was send
ing a cable through the State De-
partmnet to the American Consul at
Gibraltar.
Mrs. Dixon left here shortly before

Madrid, where she had an appoint
ment as a clerk in the American

In reply to question at his press
conference today, Secretary of the
Navy Knox said he could not COM

East and referred reporters to the
State Department. However, he
pointed out that no change has been
made in the Nays program to re-
turn one-third of the fleet at time
from Hawaii to the Pacific Coast

three sections are expected to COM
plete this movement and be reas-
sembled off the Pearl Harbor base
by January l.
Mr.. Knox said recent statements
that the cruiser Augusta, now on
the Asiatic station, was going to
Singapore for repairs was unauthor-
lied. He said he had no information
on any damages repeatedly sustained
by the vessel and added he did not
know if any order had been given for

Mr.. Henry Haye called a special
press conference at the French En-
bassy yesterday afternoon to correct
what he said was a false impression
given by some news dispatches that
France had not dealt with the Jap
anese demands in Indo-China as
firmly as the American Government
would have liked.
He emphasized that French Off
Gals had resisted Japanese demands
with increased energy" for two
months despite the enormous diff
culties confronting France land the
fact that no outside help has been
forthcoming from any country"
Firm on Agreement.
The French government, agreeing
Sunday to greatly reduced Japanese
demands for movement of troops
through Indo-China and air base
privileges there, now has ordered
firm resistance to any Japanese at
tempt to go beyond the terms Of
that agreement, the Ambassador
said.
He added that Japanese violation
of the agreement by crossing the
frontier at point not agreed upon
had resulted in sharp opposition
from the French armed forces,
which had repulsed the initial at
tacks.
I'VE find ourselves in a period of
tension fraught with danger, but our
will to defend Indo-China, accord
ing to signed agreements, remains
mistaken" he declared.
The Ambassador said that al
though the United States Govern
ment had been kept Informed of de-
velopments and had sympathetic
comprehension of the difficulties
confronting France, it had not ap-
proved the agreement giving con-
cessions to Japan.
Secretary Hull has expressed for

status quo in the Pacific under
duress." He discussed the situation

or the cash equivalent for their

only a few thousand short of the
