Children At Camp Goodwill
Are Learning Zoology

Camp Goodwill, in Rock Creek
Park. the District Playground De
partment's wooded and cool spot
for Washington children, is be-
coming training school for
young biologists.
Miss Katherine McCallum, di-
rector of the camp, reports that
in the last few days the children,
with indefatigable energy, have
found a nest of young squirrels,
some fledgling birds. and nest of
small bats.
These animals, however, have
managed to gather enough speed
to elude the children.
Catch Turtle
But they have bagged one
specimen of big game-a turtle.
To tell the truth, the children
didn't even have to hunt the
turtle. It waddled into the camp
one day and refused to waddle
away. Because it selected Camp
Goodwill as it's habitat it was
named willy"
1t enjoyed the attention of
225 children who came for a
days visit to the camp yester-
day from the Christ Child Settle
ment, and the lexington. Fair
brothers and jefferson Recrea-
ton Centers. A score of mothers
also enjoyed the day with the
children.
When Washington Times
zoologist arrived, Willy. the tur-
tie, was undergoing the water
cure.
Buses Are Need
Several children were in posses
sion of Willy, who, to save his
neck had tucked it in between
the saucers he habitually carries
about with him.
If turtles had earmarks, Willy
certainly had all the earmarks
of being a land turtle, or terra
pin. The children were giving
him a shower bath at a drink
ing fountain, apparently with
the hope of breaking him in
as a water turtle.
Miss McCallum says that many

more children could be accOmmo-
dated at the camp if transporta-
tion were furnished. Bus angels"
are in demand. In one donated
bus, yesterday, children from the
Fairgrounds were jammed.
One of the big camp features
is the swimming and padding
pool. Hiking is another feature.
The boys, particularly, enjoy
tramping down to the Zoo. Miss
McCallum said that their appe-
tites, after a hike, were astound-
ing. For the girls there are games
and stories, and for the visiting
mothers there is the pleasure of
seeing small children embarrassed
by the heat of city in summer.
The camp will close Labor
Day. The children reach the
camp about 9 a. m. and are re.
turned to their homes between
and 7.

Your Income Tax
No. 81.
Deduction for Taxes.

Taxes on real estate and personal
property paid during the taxable year
1892 are deductible. So-called taxes
which are assessed against local bene-
f1ts, such as street paving and drain

FOR FEDERAL BENCH
Hoover Nominates Aid for
Post in Face of Democrat
Ban on Confirmation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In the face OF an inviolate Demo-
cratic ban against the confirmation Of
major nominations by President Hoover
which would hold over into the new
administration, the Chief Executive
yesterday named one of his secretaries,
Walter H. Newton, to be Federal Dis
trict Judge for the District Of Mime
sofa.
Democratic leaders in the Senate,
who engineered the blanket opposition
to all administration appointments ex-
cept Army and Navy promotions. in1me-
diately gave indication they would re-
main adamant. Friends Of Newton,
however. maintained hope that some
exception might be made in his case
There was some speculation as to
the final outcome of the move.
Slated for Higher oost.
Newton originally was ;or ap-
pOintment to a vacancy on the Federal
Circuit Court Of Appeals, higher post
than the district judgeship. With the
Senate opposition to all appointments
generally known, however, his name
never was sent to Capitol Hill because
he himself could see little chance Of
confirmation
The President has made no outward
move to fill this higher post, although
some Democratic names have been
speculated upon, but now has named
Newton for the lower court. Had the
appointment been merely a gesture of
courtesy to his secretary, 1t was argued
in some Senate quarters, the President
would have named him for the higher
court.
If confirmed, Newton would fill the
post left vacant by the recent death of
Judge w. A. Cant. The district COM
prises the entire State of Minnesota,
Newton's home territory.
Resigned House Seat.
Shortly after the President entered
the White House Newton resigned his
seat in the House of Representatives to
accept the post as his secretary in
charge Of legislative, political and pat
ronage affairs.
A resident Of Minneapolis, Newton
was educated at the University of
Minnesota, graduating in 1905. From
1910 to 1918 he practiced law in Mime
apolis, and during the latter half Of
that period was assistant county attor-
ney of Hennepin County. He served
his State in Congress from 1919 to 1929.
Newton Is 50 years old.

CATHOLIC WOMEN FIGHT
RUSSIAN RECOGNITION
Drive for 100000 Signatures on
Petition Started After Plea
Against Soviet Tyranny

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, February ia drive to
get 100000 signatures in opposition to
recognition of Soviet Russia was started
today at a meeting Of the League OF
Catholic Women at Emmanuel College
at which Rev. Jones I. Corrigan. s. j.,
professor of sociology at Boston College,
spoke.
It was announced that American
women everywhere would be enlisted in
the crusade against communism and
the Soviet after Father Corrigan had
scored proposed recognition of the So
Wet tyranny in Russia as a crime
against the American people, as an in
suit to the religious mind in America,
Christian and Jew alike, and as a hos
tile move against American labor that
will put labor in this country into un-
equal competition with the forced labor
of Russia"
"If Mr.. Roosevelt allows himself to be
hoodwinked by the propaganda for rec
ognition, it will be the first major mis-
take of the new administration" Father
Corrigan said.

to provide for Federally controlled con-
ventions, several States are preparing
to act.
Among these are New York, Rhode
Island, Maryland and New Jersey. It
is felt here that since there is no pre-
cedent for constitutional conventions
and any of these States set one, that
the remainder could follow.
Speaker Garner said he favored the
States holding their own conventions,
but that If, after a reasonable time, they
failed to do so, then the Federal Gov
ernment could enact enabling law for
the conventions.
The following State Legislatures were
said by House Democrats to appear IA
vorable to repeal submission proposal:
Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Della
were Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri. Montana, Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New
York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Dakota, Washing
ton, West Virginia, Wyoming and
Wisconsin. California, which meets
In March, and Florida, meeting in April,
also appear favorable.
Listed As Doubtful.
The Legislatures appearing doubtful
were listed as Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Nebras-
ka, North Carolina, North Dakota, Okla
homa, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah and Vermont.
States where the Legislatures do not
meet in regular session for a year or
more are Louisiana, Mississippi, Vir-
ginia and Kentucky.
The States in which the regular ses-
sions Of the Legislature expire in March
are Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho,
Indiana, Missouri, Montana, Nevada,
New Mexico. NorthC Dakota, Utah,
Washington, West Virginia and Oregon.
In an open lettex to House members,
William Sheafe Chase, superintendent
of the International Reform Fedora
ton, said last night 'if the resolution
Is ratified by SO States, it Is practically
certain that the saloon will return"
Furthermore" he continued, "the
lawless saloon system will be returned
to power. to degrade individuals and
families and to corrupt politics even
more than at present. If the saloons
come back, and you vote to submit the
repeal, you will be to blame.
The vote of Congress submitting the
question to the States will be inter-
preted to mean that prohibition has
failed and cannot be enforced"
Chase said Democrats should insist
that their party shall give the people
bread, before they submit the country
to the political turmoil of an attempt
to legalize Intoxicating drinks"
IF the Democratic leaders permit
the saloon to return" he added, be
fore they remedy the financial panic,
they viii go out OF power in 1884. It
Is better to refuse to be bound bv an
unconstitutional caucus vote than to
violate your oath to support the Con-
stitution."

REPEAL FIGHT SEEN
IN WEST VIRGINIA
Simple Elimination Proposal
Is Expected on State
Senate Floor.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, February 1s.
There was a feeling in legislative
circles tonight that another fight for
nat repeal of prohibition is on the way.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has
had its attention called to the fact
that the repeal resolution approved by
the United States Senate had no
saloon barring clauses such as are in
the pending West Virginia resolution.
The committee took no formal action,
but the impression prevailed among
some of the members that some one
might try to amend the submission
resolution on the floor next week to
a simple proposal for elimination Of the
State amendment.
Consumption Restricted.
The House battled three weeks over
its original fiat repeal plan and then
adopted resolution to prohibit con-
sumption of distilled liquors at the place
of sale.
Delegate Butcher, Democrat of Wood,
father of repeal, and his strong sup
Cabell, met Informally with the Senate
committee to oppose pending amend
ment to bar consumption of distilled
and intoxicating liquors where sold
The committee inserted land in
toxicating" before it sent the resolu-
ton to the calendar. That amendment
has not been approved by the Senate as
whole.
Increases Police Power.
Butcher and Beacon, who from the
first have stood for the simple form OF
repeal submission, told the Senators
that the proposed committee amend
ment was writing still more police
power into the Constitution.
Both said inasmuch as the United
States Senate had left out saloon
barring clause and that the House
Of Representatives probably would ap-
prove that action, West Virginia's legis-
lators should eliminate such provisions
in submitting the question to the people
