Mrs. Sullivan Traces Vote
Interest to Dads Letters
Georgetown Civic
Leader Backs
National Ballot

Mrs. Elizabeth Sullivan, delegate
to the Federation from the Progress
sive Citizens Association of George
town since 1880, has been interested
in national representation ever since
she moved here in 1904.
In an interview, she traced her
long-standing interest in the prob
lem of representation to the letters
of her father, member of Congress
from Tennessee when the commits
sion form of Government was set up
in the 1905. which she read when
child, before coming to Wash
ington. These letters, she said,
written to explain the change in
Government from a territorial to
commission form, always referred to
the change as temporary. Under the
territorial Government the District
had delegate in Congress.
Mrs. Sullivan attended the recent
Senate hearings on the Capper-
Sumner resolution on national rep
resentation, but did not speak.
Reduced Transit Fares.
Mrs. Sullivan, who was the first
woman to be vice president of the
Federation. said one of her first acts
was to work on the Hill for a re-
duction of transit fares for school
children. She said that she went for
five or six years to practically all
of the public hearings of the House
District Committee when Mrs. Mary
Norton of New Jersey was chair
man of that unit.
Her next civic task, she said, was
to go before the Commissioners to
plead for an old-age pension in the
District. She was a member of a
city-wide group that helped to draft
the law that was finally adopted.
A vice chairman of the Public
Health Committee of the Federation,
Mrs. Sullivan said she attended all
hearings on public health at the
District Building, and that she was
also watching the zoning situation.
She expressed the view that al
though Georgetown had been kept
pretty well zoned, several changes

JUDGE MODIFIES
 l ALIMONY ORDER
Attorney Joseph Davis Reaches Agreement With
 Wife on Finances

Modification of alimony payments from $2O weekly to $1O per week was approved by Judge John A. Cor nell in contempt proceedings intro- duced by Mrs. Elizabeth w. Davis against Attorney Joseph J. Davis, her divorced husband.
 Mrs. Davis, formerly Elizabeth weisman, had filed a motion in sue perior court that Attorney Davis be adjudged in contempt for allowing ailmony arrears of $1,400 to accu- mulate. The defendant later lodged @ motion requesting 8 reduction in eilmony, and holding that the order of $20 a week payments was incon- sistent with his financial status. Under the stipulation allowed by Judge Cornell, a settlement has been arrived at by the ntigants, according to the terms of which Mrs. Davis will take possession of household fur- niture now held by the defendant plus his $4O0 note, payments to be compatible with its contents. In addition, the stipulation points out, the defendant has already paid Mrs Davis $50, and gives his promise to deliver the furniture to S5 Euclid avenue within the space of a week.
 The two were divorced by Judge Carl Foster in superior court June IA, 1940.

Federal funds totaltng 3lO2,OO0 have ben set aside for the ptIr- chase and installation of machinery and the hiring and paying of teach- CTS for a defense training program in the unoccupied Steele and Jonn- son building in Waterbury, Superin- tendent of Schools Thomas J. Com don announced to the board of edu- cation last night.
 Tn order to receive this unexpect- ed bonanza, the city will be required only to sign a lease with the Wa terbury Button Company, owner of the old factory building on South Main street, but will bear no share of the expense.
 Dr. Condon explained to board members last evening that the city last February asked the federal gov- ernment to earmark funds of ap- proximately $125,OOO for 8 project of this kind in the city, but nothing had been heard from Washington until this authorization was received last week.
 Several manufacturing concerns in the city, as a matter of fact, se- cured an option in the spring on a vacant building behind the State theater for use as a school. Last week, Superintendent Condon re- ceived word that the government had granted $62,O00 for the purchase of general machinery, and then an additional $40,O00 for screw machin- cry, and had more arrangements tc lease the Steele and Johnson build ing.
