sociation last week demanded an in
vestigation of the charges brought
against William J. Cornelius, deputy
air raid warden for the Southeast
section. by seceral wardens in that
area. Following the action Of the
latter group in objecting to Mr.. Cor
nelius' alleged former membership
in the American League for Peace
and Democracy, a left-wing organl-
zation favoring collective security
and liberal social policies in the pre-
war period, the protesting wardens
were themselves suspended.
The Southeast group asked for
an inquiry into the situation in fair
ness to both parties. 1t also re-
uuested information from the Com
missioners on the amount of money
appropriated to the District for
civilian defense. and an explanation
of the failure up to the present time
to provide adequate" air raid sirens.

Seek Defense Fund
By Member Drive

Congress Heights membership
drive. launched last month with
goal of $500, has been slow getting
under way, and President j. Louis
Gelbman hopes its tempo will be
stepped up in the next few weeks.
The chief purpose of the campaign
is to obtain funds for civilian de-
fense. Half of the dues collected will
be turned over to the Congress
Heights AFRAID warden service. At
its inception last month, this plan
was hailed by Mr.. Gelbman as
unique among civic organizations.
The wardens themselves have
largely been entrusted with the con-
duct of the drive, since it was felt
they could most efficiently undertake
the house-to-house canvass which
was called for. Explaining the small
result" of the campaign up to the
regular meeting Of the Congress
Heights unit last week, when only
seven new members were announced,
Mr.. Gelbman asserts, "the wardens
so far haven't gotten into stride. I
hope they will before long"
Warning against any appearance
Of coercion in obtaining members,
he says he has told the wardens
they must approach people as
private citizens rather than in their
official capacity"
The first seven new members of
the campaign include Paul Nc
Conahey, chairman Of the Civilian
Defense Committee. Others are j. F.
Ermerins, Albert P. Poteet, Frank
Mayhew. Norman Love and the
Misses Arlene and Elsie Boelter.

Bill Action
Organizations
Protest Racial
Segregation

The opposition of four Negro
organizations to section Z of the
proposed recreation bill Is holding
up passage of the measure by the
Senate and may have the effect of
killing it unless some compromise
can be worked out.
The groups have conferred with
Chairman McCarran of the Senate
District Committee and noted their
objection to language inserted in
the bill by the committee, which
these groups protest would insure
segregation of white and colored
in using the recreation facilities,
thus "legalizing Jim Crowism."
1t is understood the language was
inserted at the request Of a South
ern Senator on the committee and
if taken out he may object to the
measure.
Purpose of the bill is to set up a
seven-member board to direct the
policy and facilities for recreation,
which for 10 years have been fought
overe here by the three agencies
interested-the Board of Education.
the Commissioners and the Office
of National Capital Parks.
Meanwhile. the opposing organ
iZationS have called on President
Roosevelt to veto the bill if it should
pass the Senate in its present form.
Senator Burton of Ohio has OBJ
jected to the passage of the bill
after comforting with colored op-
ponents.
Organizations objecting to the
measure are the United Government
Employees. the National Negro Coun-
Gil. the District Chapter of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People and
the Fraternal Council of Negro
Churches.

Military Road Crosstown Bus
Possible Soon, Says Lubar
Mid.City Leader
Early Backer of
Northern Route
By THOMAS G. BUCHANAN.

Nathan NJ. Lubar, one of the first
and most determined fighters for
crosstown bus service in the District.
believes the fight will not be over
until the Military road route has
been established. but he is optimistic
about the prospects for such a route
in the near future.
There is fairly good chance" Of
obtaining the northern bus line. he
predicts, pointing to the accumula-
tion of expert testimony indorsing
this route as necessary to provide
additional transportation for ex-
panding communities. At any rate,
he adds with a smile, I'm still trying
to work it out!"
Mr Lubar first became associated
with the crosstown bus drive after
the Public Utilities Commission had
held hearings in December, 1898. and
had reported to the Commissioners
that the matter must be given addi-
tional and continuing study"
Dissatisfied with the failure Of the
commission to take action, the Mid
City Citizens Association appointed
Mr.. Lubar. member of that civic
group. to investigate the sentiment
of other civic organizations and busi-
ness groups and to organize support
for the crosstown bus.
Headed Steering Committee.
The outcome of Mr.. Lubar's work
was the creation of the District of
Columbia Citizens Associations
Steering Committee for Crosstown
Bus Service. of which he became
chairman and counsel. BY the time
hearings were renewed on the SUBJ
ject by the Public Utilities Commits
sion in February. 1941. Mr. Lubar's
Steering Committee consisted of
delegates from 81 associations rep
resenting $4,000 citizens.
To maintain a united front before
the commission. the delegates were
requested to subordinate their dis
agreement over the exact route to
be followed by the crosstown bus,
and to ask first of all that a cross
town service of some sort be pro-
vided. specifying secondarily which
Of the routes, Klingle road or Mil
itary road, they preferred. Mr..
Lubar's organization presented 81
witnesses during the flve-day hear
ings, which were followed by in
stallation of the present service.
Mr.. Lubar's principal interest in
civic work has always been in mat
ters pertaining to traffic, transporta-
ton and public utilities In the MIDI
City Citizens Association, of which
he has been member since 1885
he has served as chairman of the
safety and traffic committees, while
during several terms as delegate tt
the Federation he was active on the
public utilities, safety and zoning
committees of that body.
Supports Suffrage Here.
He feels strongly that the District
should be given the right to vote
declaring, Il never could understand
why We could be classified as Amer
lean citizens and yet be deprived OF
the very thing that makes a man
an American citizen"
When we have to have an act o1
Congress to turn off our street
lights" he adds, "it's almost redicu-
louS."
He favors a legislative assembly
elected by the citizens to give voice
to the popular will in local govern
mental matters. "Of course" he
points out, we've got to get this
war over first"
He is now greatly concerned with
civilian defense work and Is on tn
