Dr. Harry A. Garfield, who pre

what we hope will be a great step in
further beautifying Washington. ’
Visitors, he said, must go away
with an impression of "our careful
ness in keeping it clean.”
A constitution adopted calls for a
board of directors of 30 persons, the
majority of whom must be citizens
of the District.

Four-Cylinder Elephant Fails
To Impress G. 0. P. Leaders
By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. June 5 —Offers
ranging from a two-ton model of
the Liberty Bell to a mechanical
elephant 12 feet high haven’t dent
ed the sales resistance of “no” men
among officials arranging for the
Republican National Convention
here.
With the presidential nomination
meeting 19 days off, Arrangements
Committee members permitted to
day a peek into files which showed
scores of ideas to entertain and
Inspire delegates and visitors.
Weightiest proposal—and the
most expensive—came from a fellow
who wanted to cast a 4.000-pound
bronze reproduction of the Liberty
Bell and hang it above the Conven
tion Hall stage, over the heads of
the 1.000 persons wtio will be seated
there.
Officials thought of Damocles’
sword and said no. They also
thought of the $5,000 asked for the
job. Furthermore, they reasoned,
visiting Republicans could see the
authentic bell by spending 15 cents
for a round-trip train ride' to In
dependence Hall.
Since the elephant is the Repub
lican symbol, elephants figure most
prominently among proposals for
putting “oomph’ ’in the party's 22d
quadrennial conclave. One con
cern offered at “a reasonable sum”
a mechanical pachyderm powered
by a four-cylinder engine, “which
can be operated by one man."
The gasoline-driven elephant was
rejected, sight unseen. So was an
offer of a live elephant.
An entertainer offered for a $200
fee, an impersonation of President
Roosevelt which once "held 15,000
persons spellbound.” The commit
tee decided against that, too.
Pitney, the Rev. Harry V. Porter,
Mrs. William Barret Ridgely, Melvin
C. Sharpe. Mrs. Philip Sydney
Smith, Harry N. Stull, Jesse C.
Suter. Robert C. Swope, Charles M.
Thomas. Admiral Charles Russell
Train. Harry S. Wender and Mrs.
Thomas R. West.
Suter Heads Committer.
This board shall appoint annu
ally a council of not less than 15
members of the association to "for
mulate and prescribe the rules and
regulations to govern its own pro
ceedings. and shall act in an ad
visory capacity to the association
and the board."
Mr. Suter, chairman of the com
mittee that submitted the articles,
pointed out the Washirjgton associ
ation was modeled after the Out
door Cleanliness Association of New
York, a group that has operated
successfully in that city for 10 years.
He stressed that membership of
the board made it a purely private
citizen movement.
Four classifications of member
ship were provided, sustaining, $5 a
year; contributing. $2 a year; gen
eral, $1, and organization. 50 cents
a year.
Board to Elect Officers.
The constitution calls for an an
nual meeting to be held the second
Wednesday in May. The board,
however, is expected to meet shortly
ana elect its officers.
Represented at the meeting were
citizens’ associations of Kalorama,
Cathedral, Columbia Heights, Randle
Highlands, Dupont Circle, Mount
Pleasant, Sixteenth Street, West
End, Connecticut Avenue and Trini
dad; aL«o the Federation of Citizens’
Associations, the American Planning
and Civic Association, Twentieth
Century Club, Georgetown Garden
Club. District Congress of Parents
and Teachers, Southeast Council of
Citizens' Associations, American Hor
ticultural Society. Girl Scouts of the
District and the Board of Education.
