Says Petition "Sabotaged."
The president told the group that
in 1896 the zoning Office itself
thought the area ought to be
rezoned and that the matter had
been suggested to the association.
He charged, however, that certain
persons within the association had
"sabotaged" the petition for re-
zoning at that time and that an
unsuccessful attempt had been
made to defeat the petition this
time.
The motion to accept the deci-
sion Of the zoning commission un-

Cauley. The action of the COM
mittees will be submitted to the
meeting of the association and Mr.
Goldman predicted it would be
ratified If necessary.

housing in their area-but still in

decision and feel we have been

consider Mondays action of the

that Mrs. Roosevelt had tried to

controversy, and a remark was
made later that "You can't butt

petition of Congress Heights and
recommended to the commission
that the rezoning be denied.
Mr.. Gelbmarl said that the tissues

not elaborate. In discussing the
presentation Of their case before
the commission, Mr.. Goldman said:
I'VE left nothing undone to plead
our case, to cite the facts and to

Mr.. Gelbman informed the group
that they had the alternative Of
accepting the decision or carrying
the case to District Court, with
costs ranging from $500 to $4,000,
depending upon whether they won
or lost. He said he had been ad-
