sion was voted by group Of local
Protestant pastors lunching at the
E Street Y. w. G. A. yesterday as
guests of the Ministerial Council Of
the mission.
The Rev. Cove G. johnson of the

ington Presbytery, to draw up the

port.
Clifford johnson, recently named
director of the campaign, was pres
ent to outline the methods to be
followed. Mr.. johnson pointed out
how the flow of transients North
and South, as well as the unusual
growth of Washington during the
last Is years, has made the present
structure inadequate. He said the
new structure is to stand on the
two adjacent lots owned by the
mission to the east of the present
site.

Attempts 10 Destroy
independence Of
A. BIC. Board Charged
La Roe Plan for Probe
Of Dispensing System
Backed by Association

Attempts are being made to de-
stroy the independence of the AL
cohoic Beverage Control Board,
Wilbur La Roe, jr. chairman of the
Committee on Civic Affairs. Wash
ington Federation of Churches, told
the Forest Hills Citizens Associa-
ton last night in speaking on his
resolution requesting survey of
the liquor distribution situation in
the District of Columbia.
IF the liquor license system must
have a board to decide the appli-
cations and then is called up on
the carpet by Congress when dry
vote is cast, the House District
Committee is acting as a supreme
court to the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board" Mr.. La Roe said.
A member of the association, Mr.
La Roe explained his request for
an investigation of the District
liquor dispensing system. The For
est Hills group gave it's indorse-
ment to the measure.
Ask National Suffrage.
Voting on local and national suf-
frage, only national suffrage was
indorsed. Edward C. Potter made
a motion opposing an advisory Com
mittee for the D. c. Commissioners
of any kind, appointed or elected.
Mr.. Potter stated that the District
needs representation in Congress but
is not yet ready for local vote,
and an advisory council, If appointed
by the Commissioners, would carry
little or no weight while commit
tee elected by the citizens would
still be ruled over by the Commis-
sioners and Congress.
Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, president
of the association, asked that an
other letter be written to the Board
of Education requesting an assistant
principal for Woodrow Wilson High
School.
Ask Stop Signs.
A request was made to Traffic Di-
rector William A. Van Duzer for
four-way stop signs at the inter-
section of Reno road and Nebraska
avenue NV. It was pointed out
that the pupils of Ben Murch, Alice
Deal and Woodrow Wilson Schools
use this main crossing and traffic
is practically equal in both direc-
tions.
Mrs. w. r. Chapline criticized the
condition of the Ben Murch School
playground.
Paul Keen, in reporting from the
Depradations to School Property
Committee, said that his investiga-
ton into the problem of stopping
the breaking of school windows led
him to believe that steps should be
taken by the teachers to teach the
children not to mutilate school
property rather than speaking to the
parents.
Discussion was held on the pos
sibility of prosecuting offenders in
the removal of snow, but no
action was taken.
The meeting was held in the Ben
Murch School.

LOOKING ABROAD

result In a lower standard OF living
for the people of the U. S.
We have recently obtained a num-
Der of valuable military bases from
Great Britain. We need more OF
these throughout South America II we
are going to defend ourselves. How
ever we cannot hope to get or to
keep bases unless our neighbor re-
publics are convinced that we are not
going to use them to further policy
of American Imperialism. They are
Jealous of their independence and they
want to be certain that the good
neighbor policy is not going to be
changed after they have given us the
means of common defense.
The cost of keeping nazi influence
out of the Americas would mean great
sacrifice on the part of the people OF
the U. S. These problems will arise
only if Great Britain is defeated.
Great Britain is now fighting our bat
ties in the sense that we may have
to fight Germany later in Argentina
or Brazil if Hitler ever marches into
London.
The advantage to the U. S. of not
having to launch a gigantic program
of hemisphere defense is evident; the
way to avoid this is by providing Eng
land now with all aid short OF sending
troops to Europe.
