Fight Planned
On Buckingham
Evictions
Residents to Roise
Fund to Finance
Custer Appeals

A campaign to raise special fund
OF $4,000 to fight evictions at Buck
ingham Community in Arlington
County, Va, was inaugurated last
night at mass meeting called by
the Buckingham Civic Association.
At the same time it was left to
the discretion of the associations
executive board whether or not to
establish picket line around the
administrative Offices of the apart
ment project.
Included in the action approved
by the tenants was Endorsement of
an appeal of an eviction case which
Buckingham won In the County
Trial Justice Court yesterday. Judge
B. M. Hedrick issued an unlawful
detainer writ against Frank Ingram
and gave him 10 days to move from
his apartment, the lease of which
had expired August 81.
Fighting Fund" Sought.
Allen Meltzer, a resident of Buck
ingham, last night obtained sup
port of resolution authorizing the
association to carry an appeal of the
Ingram case to the Circuit Court.
Samuel j. Rodman introduced the
resolution to raise $4,000 for q
lighting fund" to finance all court
appeal cases and he personally
pledged to raise or donate $3.50.
Irving Richter, who received a
notice to vacate his Buckingham
apartment on the same day that he
testified before a House District
Subcommittee on proposed rent con-
troll legislation, was the author of
the resolution giving the executive
board authority to establish a picket
line at the Buckingham Offices
Edward Warren, member of the
associations executive board, pre-
sided at the meeting. He said the
first two presidents of the associa-
ton had been evicted from their
apartments and that several other
residents prominent in the activi-
ties of the civic body had been un-
able to renew their leases.
Seek TO Conceal Identity.
When he invited open discussion
from the floor, Mr. Warren declared
Because it is becoming dangerous
for one to appear as speaker be-
fore this group, ! am going to sug-
gest that you do not use your
names"
Several speakers took the floor
without identifying themselves and
some covered their faces when a
newspaper photographer took pic
lures of the aSSemblage
Leo Lloyd. member of the County
Board, declared, Il would feel it
inconsistent for me as duly-elected
member Of the County Board to lend
my presence or influence to either
side Of this question"
John H. King declared that rent
raises in several apartment projects
are not the fault of the courts or
of the County Board, but. he added,
the responsibility lies with Congress
and the State Legislature. which
should adopt adequate rent-control
laws

Won't Change Form Of Gesture Despite
Latest Blow From Public Schools

under the thumb. A Scout who is a
member of a class in which another
form is prescribed does not con-
slider himself duty-bound to differ,
however.
Salute Goes Into Antiquity.
Origin of the flag salute is lost in
antiquity. 1t is supposed to have
appeared first as religious gesture
of reverence, inasmuch as flags were
conceived as religious symbols. Ref
erence works in the Library OF Con-
gress shed little light on evolution of
the SALUTE. Writings indicate the
British exacted a mark of flag honor
from colonies more than 200 years
ago. The authorities seemed par
ticularly anxious that the outposts
in the New World give physical rec
ognition to the standard of the en-
pire.
Wording Of the pledge to the flag
of the United States was con-
ceived by James B. Upham of Bos-
ton publishing firm. according to the
LIUl al y VI SOliSiCSS 1llAOI bio liOii'
and appears to have been uttered in
public for the first time at public
school conference in 1892.
The words, flag of the United
States" replaced my flag" in 1923
at the first flag conference here. 1t
was found newly naturalized per-
sons and their children thought of
the banner of their homelands when
they said my flag"
The second flag conference, in
1924. added "of America" to flag Of
the United States" and the official"
form of salute for civilians not af-
filiated with uniformed organiza-
tions was adopted.
The United States Flag Associa-
ton has no intention of changing
its mind. Many citizens still have
vague ideas about what to do with
the right hand while speaking the
pledge, but the association cannot
discount IT years of trying to
achieve uniformity.

| Maryland Group
| Opposes Tax xCut,
| Asks School Aid

A resolution urging that the
Maryland property tax rate remain
at its present level and the surplus
be directed to use of the public
schools was adopted last night by
the Takoma Park md Elementary
School Parent-Teacher Association.
The resolution, introduced by
Howard Stackhouse, requested that
so per cent OF the surplus funds be
used for teacher and personnel SAL
ary increases and the remainder for
improvement of equipment.
Last week Gov. O'Conor an
nounced plans to reduce the State
tax rate 8 cents next year.
Aroused by a recent accident at
the school when child was hurt
because a piece of playground equip
ment broke, the association directed
Donald Bliss, Playground Commit
tee chairman, to inspect all equip
ment on the grounds before it is
used again. Faulty equipment is
to be repaired or destroyed.
Because the grounds are used also
as a municipal playground the asso-
citation asked for q ruling on play
ground jurisdiction.

President Asks Report
On Disturbing Ratio
OF Army Reflections

Describing as amazing and
disturbing the proportion Of
young men rejected for Army
service on physical grounds,
President Roosevelt told a press
conference today he had re-
quested a full statistical report.
Although he acknowledged
that in some respects the phys
ical standards of the armed
services are very high, Mr
Roosevelt emphasized his con-
Germ over the percentage found
physically unfit. The situation
raised the question Of periodic
physical checkups for all civil
ians, he said.
One hopeful feature. the
President remarked. is the fact
that a great many of the re-
jected men could be brought
into passing physical condition.

Dirksen Will Urge
Rent-ControI Action
Al Session Tuesday
Legislator to Insist
On Bill Fair to Realty
And Investor Groups

Representative DirkSen OF Illinois.
ranking minority member of the
House District Committee, said to-
day he would urge early action on
District rent control legislation at
the special defense subcommittee S
executive session Tuesday. He said
he is confident the bill will be re-
ported by the subcommittee Tues
day or soon thereafter. Chairman
Randolph had previously said he ex-
pected it might be necessary to hold
three more meetings.
He will insist, he said. that what
ever measure may be reported will
be fair to investors, real estate in
terests, property owners and tram
sients.
Although realizing that the law
OF supply and demand as affecting
rents would be aided in Washington
by decentralization of regular peace
time functions of the Government,
Mr.. ,DirkSen said he favorS the next
possible method OF meeting an
acute situation"-to place a ceiling
on rents.
The reason for this decision. he
said, is that he realizes that any,
thing accomplished by decentraliza-
ton could be only partially success
full now because of the defense
program. He said he has not lost
interest in decentralization as the
long-range answer, however.
Since something must be done. he
believes the best approach is the
formula offered by organized real
estate interests of Washington to
place ceiling as of given date
and to administer the control
through an administrator appointed
by the District Commissioners.
Mr.. Dirksen said he is not certain
whether the September, 1910, freez
ing date proposed by real estate
men is the right date-'we should
select date that fits the District
as to the time before the impact of
defense industry was first felt here
Mr.. Dirksen said he believes the
legislation should be fair to in
vestorS in real estate bonds as we'll
as to tenants and property manage
ment.
AS to appointment of the rent
administrator. he maintains that
the Commissioners should appoint
him as they do officials of other
District agencies.
