City Residents Urged
To Report Signs Of
Dutch Elm Disease

District residents were urged to-
day to report any signs of wlthered
branches and leaves on trees here
to help in the fight to keep the
Dutch elm disease from spreading
George w. Harding. horticulturist
with the National Capital Parks,
asked the cooperation of residents
as he reported that seven new cases
of the disease, which can kill an elm
tree in short order, had been found
in the District. This brings the total
number of cases found in recent
months to 13.
Mr.. Harding said that if the dis
ease is not stopped, next year may
see hundreds of Washington's state
ly trees victims of the blight.
The treatment consists of spraying
with DDT or pruning the affected
parts from the trees. In serious
cases, the affected tree is cut down.
The first two diseased trees were
discovered near the Lincoln Memo
rial. Another case appeared near
the jefferson Memorial and three
others on streets in that area.
The new cases, Mr.. Harding said,
are on the grounds of the National
Gallery of Art, in Lincoln Park, on
George Washington Memorial high
way, on two Southwest streets and
one case in Southeast Washington.

lCWicUnitsO Oppose
Bethesda Cherry
Trees Removal

The Mems Garden Club of Mont
gomery County today added its voice
to those from other civic groups op-
posing removal of Bethesda's cherry
trees along Wisconsin avenue.
The issue has come to a head
again after a survey by the Bethesda
Chamber of Commerce three and a
half years ago disclosed that most
merchants favored retaining the
trees when a similar proposal to
remove them was made.
The garden club resolution said
some Wisconsin avenue merchants
des.re 20 remove the trees, which
blossom shortly after those at the
Tidal Basin in Washington, because
they hide store electric signs.
The current controversy stemmed
from a proposal of Samuel z.
Bogley, real estate man, to the
chambers Board of Directors last
month. Mrs. J. Reed Bradley, q
member of the board, said the mat
ter has been referred to the Civio
Committee and probably will not
be considered until fall.

Man Wages War
On Walk Signs
| At Thomas Circle

The one-man campaign of an
elderly unidentified man with a
cane against RECOMMENDATION has re-
suited in all the neon walk" signs
at Thomas Circle being on the blink
Police said that the man has been
smashing the neon lights with his
cane for the last year. He Is said
to have put about 20 of the signs
out of operation.
AS there are only IL at the circle
this meant that the District Traffic
Department had to do some re-
placing before he could go back to
work on them. Finally, however, he
got ahead of the requirements, and
all are nonoperative at present.
Although police have been on the
lookout for the walk" sign hater
for some time, he always managed
to pick moment to do his deed
when the police were not there.
Persons who saw him at work said
he was an old gentleman of dis
tinguished if slightly rundown ap-
pearance.

Walsh Explains
Plan 10 Equa|ize
Representation
Legislative Council
Warned of Further
Inequity for State
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, July 8-Repre-
sentation in the Maryland Legis-
lature already is out OF line from
a population standpoint but unless
something is done it will be even
more so within two years, the Legis-
latve Council was told yesterday.
William C. Walsh of Cumberland.
former attorney general, appeared
before the council to explain the
latest proposal for solving the old
and never-settled question OF how
political units shall be represented
in the General Assembly.
Mr.. Walsh, who headed a COM
mission named by Gov Lane last
year, admitted the solution wasn't
easy.
He urged the Council to work out
some system whereby Baltimore
City and the three biggest counties
Baltimore, Prince Georges and
Montgomery-will get better break.
Calls System Inequitable.
There is no question" he said.
'that our present system Of repre-
sentation in the General Assembly
is inequitable. Unless the consti-
tuition is changed in some way, it
will become more inequitable."
He listed eight counties, which
after the 1850 census will be en-
titled to a total of seven to nine
additional members of the House
of Delegates, Under the present
constitution adopted in 1867, Balti-
more City and the three big counties
will get no additional representa-
tives.
The Walsh Committees report
proposed that representation from
the States smaller counties be
frozen: that Baltimore City be
redistricted into seven legislative
districts with six delegates and one
Senator from each, and that Prince
Georges, Montgomery and Balti-
more Counties be allowed seven in
stead of six delegates each.
Any other county whose popula-
ton after 1850 exceeded 100000 also
would be entitled to seven delegates.
Plan Failed in al Session.
The committee submitted its plan
for constitutional amendment dur
ing the last weeks of the 1947 ses-
sion of the Legislature but it failed
of action Gov Lane asked that the
question be taken up for possible ac-
ton in 1949.
As the constitution now stands,
all counties have two delegates each.
in addition to a State Senator. II
the population is more than $4,000,
another delegate Is is added auto
matically, but the limit from any
county or legislative district is six.
The population limit Is 5000.
Mr.. Walsh pointed out that Bal
timore now has approximately half
the States population, Baltimore
County has 250000 and Prince
Georges and Montgomery well be-
yond 100000 each. He admitted
that practical politics precluded any
chance of the Legislature approving
new representation on a strictly
population basis.
The counties which he said will
get new delegates after 1850 unless
the constitution is changed are
Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Charles,
Hartford. st. Marys and Wicomico.
In the case of Caroline, he said,
only an increase of 452 over the
1910 census will be enough.

Park View Playground
Transfer 10 CoIored
WeighedAfterHearing

The District Recreation Board
today has under consideration a
proposal to change the Park View
Playground from a white to q col
ored recreational area, following a
hearing at which no one testified
in favor of the change.
The proposal made by Milo F
Christensen. recreation silperin
tendent, to the board was this:
During school hours the play
ground would be for the use of white
children, since the Park View Ele-
mentary School is white school
But after school hours and during
holidays, when school was not in
session, it would be a colored play
ground.
John H. Connaughton, president
of the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, said he represented the
Petworth Citizens Association and
is against changing the status OF the
playground. He said it would be a
sad mistake" and lead to friction
between the white and colored
people living in that area.
Nom n-Segregation Urged.
Mrs. Lucille Freeman, a colored
mother who lives in the area, repre-
sented the Pleasant Plains Civic
Association. She said her group
was against the proposal, since it
favors Fairgrounds for all children
regardless of color. She recon-
mended that both races be allowed
to use the ground.
This view also was expressed by
George Frederick Stanton, another
colored resident of the Park View
area, who spoke for the Committee
on the Park View Playground OF
the Southern Conference for Human
Welfare.
They were the only three wit
nesses appearing A letter from the
Park View Citizens Association, op-
posing the change, was read into
the record by Harry S. Wender
president of the board.
Mr.. christensen, in presenting
his plan, told the board the neigh
borhood around Park View, located
at Warder and Otis streets NV. is
almost entirely colored. In 1912
there were 1,036 white children OF
school age in the neighborhood. and
427 colored children, he said. Last
year there were only 351 white
children and SIS colored children
Raymond Playground Nearby.
In addition, Mr.. Christensen said,
the white children still would have
the use of the Raymond Playground,
which is less than four blocks from
the Park View Playground. The
white children now have both, while
the cclored children have none, he
added.
Mrs. Alice Hunter. colored board
pointed out to Mr.. Con-
that both colored and
white children play on Park View
now and there is no way to keep
them separated.
IF the mothers can't control them
and make them abide by the rules,
they should be taken to Juveni!e
Court as incorrigible children who
won't obey their parents" Mr.. Con-
naughton said.
James E. Schwab, board vice pres
dent. said there Is no way to keep
the children separate, and as a
result the program at Park View is
being eliminated gradually. He said
the wading pool has been closed
down because both colored and white
children were using it.
