tional article, which would legalize di-
vorce in Spain for the first time in

in intensity that which led to the
resignation of Don Niceto Alcala

BY the Associated Press.
Because Mrs. Herbert Hoover has
lived there, the White House has be-
come richer in its own lore.
The gold piano, the chairs and beds
and tables, can now tell more con-
nected tale than ever before of when
and whence they came. For each boasts
a little key number that clicks with
Mrs. HooverS card catalogue.
Regrouping furniture according to its
period when she first entered the White
House as mistress. Mrs. Hoover became
enamored of the tradition of the place.
With research workers helping her,
she has now delved into Library OF
Congress records relating to the Ex-
ecutive Mansion. She has collected and
hung in its great upper hall all avail
able prints artists have made OF 1t.
She has studied old photographs to
trace particular pieces from room to
room. She has had new photographs
made to identify the furniture in Its
present setting. She has even had dis
carded White House rafters whitfield
by wood cutters into art objects-to be
given away on special occasions with
q poem written by herself.
For home always historical. the
White House has been somewhat lack
ing in written history and many were
the gaps Mrs. Hoover had to bridge.
But memoirs and letters left in the
archives by other Presidents wives who
had felt the urge to write of 1T helped
her. These went far back as Abigail
Adams, first to claim it as her home in

Authorized to Offer Recommen-
dations at Hearing.

Recommendations looking TO munich
pal control of taxicabs yesterday were
authorized to be made by delegates
from the Washington Chamber of
Commerce to the public hearing into
the taxi situation, called for next Mon
day by the Public Utilities Commission.
This authority was vested in the
chambers delegates by its Executive
Committee, which met in the Homer
Building. The meeting followed a con-
ference of all chamber committees and
bureau heads. at which annual reports
to be presented at the whole Chamber
Of Commerce meeting next Tuesday
night were prepared.
Expressing its belief that the present
unregulated conditions are causing in
creased congestion and increased hazard
to the safety of motorists and pedes-
TRANS. the Executive Committee felt
taxicabs should be made subject to the
same rules and regulations which now
affect all other public utilities.
The committee also voiced its opin-
ion proper steps should be taken for
Federal legislation providing for COM
pulsory indemnity insurance covering
all taxicab operators
The reports made at the meeting will
be used by Harry King, president of
