Arlington Residents
Protest Unfinished
Work on Street

Residents of q three block section
/ OF North Third street, Airing ~
were up In arms today over the
condition of the street in front OF
their homes.
A A.$24,000 curb and gutter job was
begun earlier this month along
Third street from North Kenmore
to North Nelson street The job
later viii extend to North jackson
street.
The residents complain that the
county has been negligent in not
completing the work. As result
dangerous conditions exist, they say
They cite the matter of concrete
aprons which have been poured at
the entrances of driveways. After
laying these aprons, the residents
pointed out, the contractor stopped
work without making nils so motor
lists can use their driveways.
The residents contend that the
condition should have been remedied
at least temporarily. They cite
bitches ranging from IL to 18 inches
in depth which have been left. un-
filled between the curbs and the
yards of the houses.
County officials stated that the
job has been proceeding satisfactory
lly considering the shortage of men
and materials. The officials admit
ted, however, that the contractor for
the Third street job Is also the con-
tractor on another job in another
section Of the county.
Among the residents who feel that
the job has not been done properly
are Mrs. william Moore, 3611 North
Third street, and Mrs. A. c. De-
chene, 3508 North Third street.
Some are concerned because they
cannot get their automobiles In
their garages on Halloween night

Question: on ,ohat ground do
you seek national representa-
ton?
Answer: It is a distinctive basic
right of the American citizen-in
La Government of the people, by
the people and for the people
in a Government which roots its
Justice in consent of the gov
erned-in a representative Cow
|ernment which inseparably cou-
pies taxation and arms bearing
as a soldier with representation.
Question: In what particulars
are you meeting the same nG-
tional obligation as Americans
who ore citizens OF a State?
Answer: Washingtonians have
ever been foremost when Amer
Iicanism meant loss instead of
benefit when to be Americans
meant to place both sacrifice OF
treasure and blood sacrifice upon
the Nations altar.
Washingtonians have paid
their proportion of every ma
tional tax, direct or indirect,
from the birth of the Nation.
The only national taxes that fall
directly and in ascertainable
amounts upon the Americans are
the internal revenue taxes, in
cluding the excise and income
taxes. In total contribution in
1856 to these taxes Washing
ton exceeded 20 of the States,
though it exceeded in population
only IA of them. It's contribu-
ton was greater than those Of
nine of the States combined.
Question. What notable con-
tributions and sacrifices for the
Nation haze been made by
Washingtonians?
Answer: Washingtonians have
riSked life and shed blood In
every national war.
Complete figures are still un-
available covering the service Of
the voteless and unrepresented
people of the District of Column

Charter Group
Charge
OF 'SIush Fund
Democrats Accused
Of 'Distorting Issues
In Montgomery
By J. B. Zotmon

The Montgomery County Charter
Committee today continued its
attacks against the county Demo-
cratic organization in accusing the
latter of collecting "slush fund" Of
campaign contributions from county
employees.
The committee said the money is
being used to finance a campaign
Of deception and distortion Of the
issues"
At the Same time, E. Brooke Lee,
county Dem ocratic leader, denied q
committee charge that he uttered "a
bald, nat untruth" in allegedly
stating that a master development
for the county had been approved.
Mr.. Lee, who is vice chairman Of
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
said:
"Since I have never at any time
mentioned master development
plan, it is impossible that I have
made any untruthful statement in
connection herewith
Charterites Charge Pressure"
In its statement the Charter
Committee charged the county
Democratic administration with
"pressuring county employees into
campaign contributions to help
bear the cost of an expensive prop
aganda campaign against charter"
Declaring that county officials
and employees contributed $6.453.50
to help defeat the proposed charter
In 1914, the committee asserted:
Much Of this money came ulti-
mately from the taxpayers pockets,
since the contributions were fol-
lowed by direct raises to certain
persons by the State Legislature
and the county civil service COM
missioner.
Political Services" Assailed.
"On election eve, in certain county
offices, the wastebaskets have been
filled with wrappers for currency
paid political workers who filed
through the offices to receive their
payments for what the political
machine calls political services"
Mr.. Lee reaffirmed his statement
that the planning commission has
adopted master highway, zoning and
park plans.
THE first of these plans was
adopted in 1928 when the commits
sion was created" Mr.. Lee explained.
"and they. have been enlarged and
developed as the population in
crease justifles."
He said the commission also is
authorized to draft plans for water
ways, beaches, docks, wharves, for
ests, wild life refugees. open develop
ment areas and location of Federal
buildings.
He added the commission has not
yet attempted to draw up plans for
these projects.
"The top charter leaders are ap-
parently so busy running the affairs
Of the Nation, the world and WASH
ington that they are poorly in
formed concerning conditions in
Montgomery County," Mr.. Lee as
serted. This leads to inaccurate
and false statements on their part" /"

New Hampshire, New Mexico,
South Dakota, North Dakota,
Vermont, Delaware, wyoming
and Nevada. The number OF
those from the District exceeded
the combined number furnished
by Vermont, Delaware, Wyoming
and Nevada.
Question. What ,pere the cas-
ualties among those serving
from the District?
Answer: The most complete
figures available are for service
In the Army. A War Department
release Of June n, 1915, gave a
consolidated list of Army dead
and missing in World War II,
disclosing that the District Of
Columbia, where 1929 failed to
return, had the highest rate of
dead and missing, with sos per
cent. Among the States, Mary
land, with 2.20 per cent, had the
lowest rate. OF the Virginians
who went into the Army, 3.02 per
cent failed to return. For the
Nation as a whole the dead and
missing rate was 2.98 per cent.
TO every demand of devotion
and self sacrifice made upon
Americans, Washington has rem
dered, is rendering, and will al
ways render full, hearty and un-
stinted response.

Democratic Solidarity
AGAINST Communism
Is Urged by PadiIIa
BY the Assoeiotsd' Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct. 81
DIR. EzeQuiel Padilla, former For.
eign Minister of Mexico and. ar
unsuccessful candidate for President
In Mexico's last election, issued 9
plea at the University of Virginia
last night for solidarity among
Democratic Nations against. the
challenge of totalitarianism, includ-
ing the threat of Communism.
ITO face the challenge Of Com
munism, which promises economic
security only at the price of free
dom in a world whose law Is force
democracy must answer with free
dom and security in world gov
erned by law" DR.. Padilla said.
He described the great mission
of the United States as that OF
fighting for liberty everywhere, and
said should the United States re-
treat or abandon that mission "she
will lose her present moral leader
ship In the world, and the world
will have lost its greatest cham
pion of freedom that history has
ever known"
"All the events Of contempora-
neous history show the powerful
trend of mankind toward a single
world government" he continued
land from now on the struggle fol
world control will be between De-
mocracy and Communism.
1.-The area for this battle is not
Russia, because that part Of the
worlds territory is inaccessible tc
democratic penetration. The loca-
ton of this battle-ground is here at
home, where the expansive power
and highly developed technique OF
communism Ia continuously active
while enjoying the@protection of our
democratic institutions. This ag-
gressive army Is untiring in the Gre
alton of an invisible army in every
country, every factory, every home
He charged that Soviet agents
"are running continually between
Mexico and Central and South
America" and are watching every
opportunity ito divide our ma lions
especially to create discomfort and
hatred in Latin America against
the United States"
DR.. Padilla was introduced by Ed
ward r. Stettinius. jr., chancellor
of the university and former Secre-
tary of State. The Mexican visi-
tors talk was the first in series
sponsored by the woodrow Wilson
School of Foreign Affairs.
