Bethesda Groups 10 Confer
On Ambulance Problem

Members of the Bethesda Fire
Board will meet with a joint COM
mittee from the Civitan and Lions
Clubs Of Bethesda tonight at the
flrehouse in an effort to iron out a
misunderstanding regarding ambu-
lance service for the area.
Meanwhile, it was learned, a resi-
dent will donate an ambulance to
the community if some agency can
be found to operate it.
For the last IS years Bethesda
has been served by an ambulance
owned and operated by the Fire De-
partment. In January the 33-man
Fire Board voted unanimously to
sell the ambulance to the Takoma
Park Fire Department because Of
its age and the boards inability to
obtain trained personnel to op-
crate it.
Judge Albert E. Brault. repre-
senting the Bethesda Lions Club,
recently charged the board had de-
prived the community of ambulance
service. Capt. F. o. Smith, presi-
dent of the board, declared that he
had made arrangements with the
Pumphrey funeral home in Be-
thesda to answer all emergency
calls. Such calls would be paid for
by the county commissioners.
The commissioners this week,
however, denied they had consented
to pay for the calls.

Arlington Civic Groups
Protest Appointments
To School Board
Remaining of Incumbents
Called Disregard of
Residents Wishes

Protest over appointment yes-
terday of five incumbents to the
Arlington County School Board
were voiced today by representatives
OF various county civic groups who
charge that the School Trustee Elec-
toral Board totally disregarded the
wishes of progressive and informed
residents In making the appoint
ments.
Harley M. Williams, chairman of
the School Board Nominating Com
mlttee of the New Arlington Civic
Association and member of the
County Civic Federation's School
Committee, said the boards action
yesterday clearly shows the fedora
ton was on the right track last April
When it asked the State Legislature
to allow the election of school board
members at non-partisan elections. y
Under the present system, Mr.
Williams pointed out, the School
Trustee Electoral Board is ap-
pointed by the Circuit Court judge
who is appointed to Office by the
Legislature. The Electoral Board
then names school board members,
who in turn appoint the school su-
perintendent.
Under this system, he said, the
people have little or no control over
the school system.
Representatives of the Cherry
dale Citizens Association said the
organization would go on record
against the reappointment of the
board members at special meeting
tonight and would instruct dele
gates to the County Federation tc
oppose the action at the fedora
tions meeting Tuesday night.
Reappointed for four-year terms
were John M Stewart and Mrs
Lucy Bussey. Jackson Ross was re-
appointed for a three year term, B
M Smith for two-year term and
the Rev. Walter F. Wolf for one
year term.
Candidates who had opposed the
incumbents we're George H. HER
onymus, Mrs. Beatrice Smythe, S. w
Keesee, the Rev. Paul R. Hunter
and William G. Watt.
Members of the Electoral Board
include William K. MacMahon

Federation Seeks
Contagious Disease
Facilities in County

A campaign to obtain a communi-
cable and incurable disease hospital
will be launched soon In Prince
Georges County.
The move was initiated at meet
ing of the Prince Georges County
Federation of Citizens Associations
last night after Frank Fierstein
requested that committee be
appointed to push plans for the
construction Of such a hospital In
the county after the war.
Declaring that the project is
urgently needed" Mr.. Fierstein
explained that it would be operated
by the State and would care for
patients from approximately six
Maryland counties.
Walter F. Mulligan, federation
president, said no action would be
taken on the request pending a
meeting of the County Hospital AS
sociation June 10 at the Bladens-
burg Fire House. He declared that
II the association, which was in
strumental in obtaining the present
AASS NtSol6 11OSDILdl,
would launch drive for commu-
nicable and incurable disease hos
pital, the federation would back it
up"
Mr.. Mulligan also said that while
no site for such hospital has been
suggested, there is plenty of land
in the county where it can be To-
Gated"
He added that the excellent sys-
tenn of roads in the county would
afford easy access to such hospital.
Mr.. Fierstein also urged the group
to request the Capital Transit Co. to
provide public transportation in the
KenilWorth avenue area.
Mr.. Fierstein pointed out that the
extension of transportation facilities
there would enable private business
to develop the area in the postwar
period. He said that the Southern
Oxygen Co. now employees approxi-
mately 400 persons and has it's own
shuttle bus to take employees to and
from work.

gram IN regard to race relations.
DR.. Rustin declared that "the belief
that some races are inferior and
must be kept down is the basis of
race prejudice"
In this country fear of competi-
ton from cheap labor has provided
fertile ground for the DEVELOPMENT
OF prejudice against white foreigners
as we'll as Negroes and other colored
people. The situation has been
utilized by politicians seeking office
and by employers seeking to main
tain low wages" he continued
Speaking for the commission,
headed by Chairman Mrs. John

recommended that when advisable
each pastor cultivate the friendship
of neighboring Negro pastors.

De instructed to vote for Presidents
Roosevelt for a fourth term.
A group of party leaders, headed
by Gov. O'Conor, met In a pre-
convention caucus last night and
agreed that the delegates to the
National Convention in Chicago
should be uninstructed.
This left the business of the con-
vention-to be keynoted by Speaker
Rayburn-pretty much cut and
dried.
Prior to the caucus, there had been
some speculation the convention
might see floor fight over whether
to instruct the delegation for Presi-
dent Roosevelt, for a favorite son
candidate or to leave it on its own.
War Conduct Given Praise.
The caucus also decided to Law be-,

with their request in the lobby of the
hotel where the caucus was held.
Mr.. Curran questioned whether
the CIO was solidly back of several
Democratic candidates for Congress.
and added:
You people will have to get right
with the party before you come
down here and try to tell us what we
ought to do. This is a Democratic
convention. You'll have people who
are for Roosevelt voting against
him"
Decision Agreeable to Most.
1t was understood that the deci-
sion to send an uninstructed delega-
ton to Chicago was agreeable to all
the caucus participants in view of
the lack OF any definite word from
Mr.. Roosevelt that he will accent
another nomination.
Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, Of
Maryland was chosen temporary
convention chairman and Col. e.

leader, permanent chairman.
Among those who attended last
