had been furnished with a plat
by the Maryland State Roads
Commission indicating through
fares in Takoma Park involved
in a proposed exchange Of roads
between the State and county
systems. The Council expressed

has been designed to accomplish
a better integrated system of
State and county highways.
The Council approved a recon-
mendation that Takoma Park
would accept Carroll avenue
from Flower to Eastern avenues,
with the exception Of the bridge
over Sligo creek and Takoma
avenue from Albany to Eastern
avenue, if the State would accept
responsibility for the East West
highway from New Hampshire
avenue to Chicago avenue on the
west side. Mr.. Thomas was di-
rected to present these terms to
the State commission.
The Council decided that the
question of outside communities
using the new library. to be

g. 0. P. in Arlington
Hits Appointment
.0f County Judges

Arlington Republicans are ask
ing county voters to register
mo" in a referendum on Novem-
ber 2 of whether the County
Court judge shall be appointed
by the Circuit Court.
The lower court judge now is
elected for four-year term and
would be named in 1855, unless
the referendum carries this year.
The G.. o. P. Executive COM
mittee expressed opposition to
the suggested change last night.
The idea was advanced by the
Arlington County Bar Associa-
ton. The referendum was set for
this year in a bill enacted by the
General Assembly last winter at
the request of the bar.
The Republicans said Arlington
has elected its lower court judges
for more than 20 years and men
of both major political parties
have filled the Office during this
time. To make the change would
be a step backward. it was said.
In most other Virginia coun-
Mes the trial justice, or lower
court judge. isa appointed by
the Circuit Court judge. who, in
turn, is elected by the almost
completely Democratic Legisla-
ture. Therefore. most Virginia
trial justices are Democrats.
The Arlington Bar Association
last year ascribed two principal
reasons for requesting the
change: To remove the lower
court judgeship from politics
and to shorten the ballot. It
was pointed out that the judge
ship election comes up in 1855
when many other local offices
are to be filled.
At the Republican meeting
last night Mrs. Carlson Aitche-
son, 1901 South Twenty-sixth
street. was elected precinct
committeeman from Aurora
Hills. Alternates approved are
Richard Thompson, 808 Ivy
street. for Jefferson precinct,
and Mrs. Wolfram K. Legner.
4401 South First road, for Bar

sentatives of the three organiza-
tionS will meet Friday to see If

visement two proposals to change

1. For legislation to permit
election Of school board men,
berS at large with no more
than two from any one election
district.
2. To provide overlapping
terms for all local boards and
commissions having more than
three members.
Mr.. McClenon also asked the
federation to study a proposed
amendment to the county char
ter to permit legislation to be
introduced to the County Coun-
Gil at other times than at the
May legislative session.
Address Controversy Quieted.
A controversy over changing
the postal address of residents in
Bethesda and Chevy Chase to
Washington was laid at rest after
Robert Marvin of the Public
Utility Committee reported that
Washington Postmaster Roy M.
North has "once and for all'
abandoned the idea.
Mr.. Marvin noted, however,
that postal officials are consider
ing changing the zone numbers

1t would seem that we might do a little
research on how we can make life more bear
able while were living it, instead of worrying
about how long we might be here. 1t would
make sense to try to see if we couldn't ale

institutions are overcrowded and are turning

grow weaker and weaker If their only obscr-
able purpose IS to hold the Negro down.
There are twenty counties Of Arkansas in
which indignation is an immediate economic
necessity to the county and the state as well
as an educational necessity To the Negro. The
districts Of these twenty counties do not con-
tain enough Negroes to set up any kind Of
high school for them much less an EQUAL
one These Negroes are now served by an I'M
satisfactory and Bootless system of uanspor
tation which takes them far from home at an
excessive cost II is possible Of course that
some districts avoid paying their Negro pu-
pills the out-of-dstrict transportation which
the state requires but the Negroes are sure
to wake up. Our present procedure is an ed
ucational hindrance to the Negro, an econom-
ic hindrance to the counties concerned and an
embarrassment To the nation in its program
of making the world safe for democracy We
are too often confronted with the question,
Have you made democracy safe for the
world"
The Supreme Court has given its answer
Shall the thinkers of Arkansas who have
shown so much capacity to lead wisely and
well now halt their progress and mark time
what to do?
Life consists Of choices We must face
the fact that we must forget the past and de-
eide whether we shall build our lives on the
highest and finest things or whether we are
going to be content to be drifters." The peo-
pie who admitted Negroes to the university
law school, who admitted Negroes to the uni
Versity medical school, who admitted Negroes
TO the university graduate school of education,
VINO admitted Negroes to internship in the
university hospital, who admitted Negroes to
membership in the county medical assoc. alton,
whose religious organizations are reforming
on a brotherhood basis, whose political organ
izations have admitted Negroes to the una
brldged ballot, such a people should not need
any person or persons or governmental agen-
cleS to point them to the plain and unmis-
taxable pathways of duty and economy.
