IOudy. Oue O1 Tue uOWuLOWu
of Progress exhibit of Swiss !
OF course the display Of fine
handiwork is the most interest
ing part Of it to me, but it's also
to be a gala social event, for
DR.. Marc Peter, the minister
from Switzerland, and Mrs.
Peter, are opening it formally
at three today. They have sent
out invitations to official and
diplomatic society, and many no
tables are expected.
Going to Chicago
The exhibition is on its way to
Chicago for the coming fair this
summer, but the Swiss govern
ment decided to show it in a
few cities en- route, to give those
of us an opportunity to appre-
ciate Swiss crafts, who may not
get 10 chicago.
To appreciate the industries
Of the Swiss, you must realize
that they have a high standard
Of living, and cannot compete
with cheap labor to turn out
great masses of manufactured
material. Their work is of the
finest. And this is the most
comprehensive collection that
has ever come from that country
to ours.
Noted Wood Carver
Hans Huggler, a noted wood
carver whose work is already
known here, has sent large ex-
hibit Of small carvings of figures,
making up a Swiss "brienz" or
village. They are lifelike in their
carving and coloring, and are
unique, as the secret of the mix
ing Of the dyes is in the Huggler
family, wood carvers for over
300 years.
There's a particularly fine
collection of Appenzel embroid.
cry, too, centering around a
fine old piece which has $780,
600 stitches, 80 kinds of EN-
broidery, and it took two years
to make it in a Swiss convent.
Fine Pottery
Swiss pottery is little known
in this country, I believe. but
this collection will introduce it
to you. The st. Gall pottery
is remarkable because each
piece is individual. and it is
fired seven or eight times,
produces a wonderful "unglazed
glaze"
Another type pottery has
each pattern burned on sep
arately, and is most unusual.
The oldest patterns they have
ever used are represented in
this collection.
Linens Included
There are hand-woven linens
shown, too. and the new dia-
mond linen, which CLEANS un-
der a light like thousands of
diamonds. Then there's mar
velous ivory jewelry, practical
pieces Of wood carving such as
secret boxes. desk sets, and so
on, and a beautiful Alpine
flower collection.
The public is invited to see
this exhibit, and schools are
urged particularly to make it
possible for their classes to see
it. For more information, call
Miss Laville at District 1000,
or write to her at The Wash
ington Times.

Married Men Out

Dear Miss Fairfax:
L am very much in love with
a married man. He has been
married twice, and has a darling

me; all he wants me for is a

advise me.
I UNDECIDED.
You ARE in need of advice.
This twice-married m an i'm

BIGGER OFFICES
F0RPRES|DENT

Executive offices at the White
House probably will be enlarged
while the President is away
from Washington on his summer
vacation, it was learned today.
Since the Inauguration of the
New Deal business at the Execu-
tive Mansion has been so heavy
that the present office building
is entirely inadequate.
Clerks have been put in every
available place, in the corridors,
basement and even the janitors'
quarters have been requisitioned.
The working conditions have
been unsatisfactory, and num-
ber of plans for enlarging the
office wing have been prepared.
One plan calls for new ad-
dition south of the present
structure, while another calls for
enlarging the present office build
ing.
When plan is definitely de-
eided upon, it is expected that
Congress, will be asked, for an
appropriation to do the work
when the President is away from
the Capital.

pei the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board to issue an ION sale" license
to John R. Quinn, proprietor Of
an establishment in the 300 block
Nichols Ave s. E., were instituted

as the most vigorously contested
before the board and the license

ney John j. McGinnis, the petit
toner stated he was engaged in

license to Mr.. Quinn were filed by
school associations as well as the

Representative Francis H. Shoe
maker (F.L) of Minnesota lost
no time in complying with the
condition of Justice Jennings
Bailey for setting aside the default
judgment in a $4,000 damage suit
filed against him by Charles New
man, cab driver.
Justice Bailey decided yesterday
to set aside the judgment if Repre-
sentative Shoemaker would pay
within three days the court costs
of the proceedings to date and $25
fee to Harry Friendmand, counsel
for Mr.. Newman. Mr.. Shoemaker's
lawyer appeared in the court
clerks office today and paid $36.
The suit was filed as the result
Of an alteration between the Con-
gresham and a cab driver follow
ing an automobile crash. The de-
fault Judgment was entered when
Representative Shoemaker failed
to answer the suit in the required
tim, and was set aside when he
pleaded that pressing business"
prevented filing an answer.

PRINTER
A. E. GiegengaCk Supervising
Editor of A. E. F. Paper,
"Stars and Stripes"

President Roosevelt will name
A. E. Giegengack, of New York
City, as Public Printer some time
next week, it was learned on
good authority today.
The Administration has de-
layed appointment Of a new Pub
lie Printer to succeed George H.
Carter it was said, because Of
difficulties in locating a man
qualified for the post"
Has Much Experience
Mr.. Giegengack, a printer and
executive of many years expert
ence, is being supported for the
post by both members Of the
Senate from New York-Senators
Robert F. wagner CD and Royal
s.. Copeland DO..
AS early as 1915 Mr.. Giegen-
gack held an executive post when
he was made head Of a printing
division of a mail order house
and had 800 men under his sup
erviSion.
He went overseas in the war
and supervised editing Of the
"Stars and Stripes" A. E. F.
paper, and was one of the organ
izers of the American Legion.
Opened Own Shop
After the war, he opened his
own print shop, which was later
merged with two others to form
the firm Of Whitaker, Giegen-
gack & Traff, Inc, Of which he is
now secretary and treasurer.
He served four consecutive
terms as president Of the New
York Association Of Printing
House Craftsmen and has twice
been president Of the Interna-
tional Association of Printing
House Craftsmen.
Postmaster General James A.
Farley, who is also chairman Of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, has consistently pointed out
that the man to be appointed pub
lie printer must have high repu-
tation in the trade. must be
friendly to union labor and thor
oughly competent Ia the industry.
New York Code Director
Mr.. Kiegengack is NRA code
director Of the New York typeSet-
ting trade and, although he has
consistently refused public office,
he has been active in county poll

movement, Elks, American Legion
and Knights of Columbus.

AAA UNIT GETS
NEW OFFICES

Unsanitary conditions in the
basement of the south building
of the Department of Agriculture,
where the contract records Sec
tion of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration is located,
are among the resons why ar
rangements are being made to
move the greater part Of the en-
tire AAA personnel to another
Federal building here, it was
learned today.
The transfer will affect thou
sands Of employees, including
those in the auditing and con-
tract records sections. The lat
ter include about 1,400 workers,
who labor in three daily shifts in
a large basement room where an
epidemic of mumps has been
raging.
The room was originally in
tended to house the book shelves
of the Department Of Agriculture
library, which will take over the
space after the AAA workers are
removed.
No other building has as yet
been officially selected for the
new home of the AAA, but 1t is
believed that it will be one of the
old temporary buildings on the
Mall,

ZOO CROCODILE
LAYS26EGG

Twenty-six eggs we're laid this
morning by an American croco
ollie at the zoo here.
The eggs, according to DR.
William Mann, are probably not
fertile but an effort will be made
to hatch a few of them. Since
the zoo does not have Q croco.
dile incubator they will be buried
in a pile of mud and nature, if
willing, will be permitted to do
the rest.
The crock" he says, is still
laying them and the ZOO is un,
certain how many they will have
until she finishes. They are laid
in the mud surrounding her pool
in her cage in the reptile house.
Says DR.. Mann:
'Tt is very unusual for a
crocodile to lay eggs in cap
tivity. AS far as / know this
is the first time on record. OF
course, we doubt they will
hatch, as the female has been
Gagged by herself for three
years, it is very interesting"

SUGAR VOTE HIT
BY COPELAND
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND

BY ROYAL >. COPELAND
United States Senator from New York
written Expressly for Universal Service)
American citizens living in
Puerto Rico had a raw deal yes
terday. BY an overwhelming vote,
the Senate refused to increase
the sugar quota for the island
and thus improve living condi-
tions of its inhabitants.
There will be many a hungry
Puerto Rican by. reason of what
was done by the Congress.
It would be bad enough 10 dis
regard the needs Of the inhabi-
tants of some island lying off
the coast of Africa, subjects Of
some country in the eastern
hemisphere, but to overlook the
obligations we owe to Puerto Rico
is something I cannot approve.
made an appeal yesterday on
behalf of the Puerto Ricans and
their sugar quota by pleading that
they are our fellow citizens. I
pointed out what their trade
means to us.
I could do this in all truth be-
cause Puerto Rico is one Of our
best customers, buying more than
Cuba does. All these arguments
fell on deaf ears.

DISTRICT LOAN
BILL FACES
DELAY
Air Mail Debate to Hold Up
Action on $20,000,0 900
PWA Measure

Senate action on the proposal
to authorize the District to bor-
row 1000, 900 from the PWA for
public works apparently will wait
until after next week, according
to indications today. despite the
fact that those in charge Of the
bill are making every effort to ex-
pedite consideration.
Senator william H. King (D0
Of Utah, chairman Of the Senate
District Committee, has a tenta-
tive agreement with Representa-
tive Mary T. Norton CD Of New
Jersey, chairman Of the House
District Committee, for the two
groups to meet in joint session
Tuesday to begin hearings on the
proposal, and it is not expected
that much time will be consumed
in taking testimony.
However, under an agreement
reached in the Senate yesterday,
all other Senate business next
week will be showed aside to per-
NIT debate on the permanent air
mail bill, and the Senate will not
start voting on that measure until
next Thursday. It will probably
be late Friday or Saturday before
the air mail bill is finally voted
upon.
Thus, although the District
PWA bill likely will be favorably
reported to the Senate during the
latter half of next week, a vote on
the bill hardly can be obtained be-
fore early the following week.

To WIN
OUT IN FIGHT
WITH HOUSE
Its Conferees to Have Best of
Argument and Sympathy
of District Group

Although the Senate Appropria-
tionS Committee has not yet be.
gun consideration of the District
supply bill, Capitol observers today
were predicting that the measure
will become involved in contro-
versy when it goes to conference.
This prediction was predicated
on the belief that the Senate will
vote to restore at least to the bud
get figure the lump sum contribu.
ton Of the Federal Government.
Few Voted for Cut
AS reported to the House by the
Appropriations Committee of that
body, the bill provided a lump sum
contribution of $5, zoo, 900, but dur
ing consideration of the measure
in the House, with only handful
Of members present, this figure
was reduced to $4,364,295.
Members of the Senate District
Appropriations subcommittee are
reluctant at present to say pub
licly what action they will take on
restoring the budget figure, but
in private conversations they have
made it known they feel the House
action was unjustified and with.
out proper consideration. It is
therefore virtually conceded that
the Senate will reinsert the orig.
nal lump sum amount.
Senate Likely to Win
Should this occur. it is believed
the Senate eventually will win out.
since its conferees would have
the sound argument to present to
the House conferees that only
about one-sixteenth of the House
membership was present when the
vote was taken to reduce the lump
sum, and furthermore only 2or-
ton of that one-sixteenth voted
favorably on the amendment
which cut down the Federal con-
tribution.
Another argument the Senate
conferees can present is that the
budget recommended the $780,
600 figure and that when the
House Appropriations Committee
reported the bill to the House
it carried the full budget amount.
The House conferees will be
chosen from the members of the
House District Appropriations
subcommittee.

Postal Clerks Denu
Opposing President

Efforts of the postal workers to
combat the furloughs imposed by
Postmaster General Farley should
not be construed as in any way
attacking the policies of President
Roosevelt, according to an edi.
torial in the Union Postal. Clerk,
official organ of the National
Federation of Post Office Clerks.
The editorial cites Mr.. Farley's
chastisement of opponents of the
NRA, and declares that the fed.
Grafton is actively in sympathy
with the Presidents plan to end
the economic crisis by increas
ing purchasing power.

I wondered how the movie
magazines are getting on-it'S
weeks since I've been on a train.
And wondered what she would
tell her brothers and sisters
about George Raft when she
got home. I know I ought to
have asked her what she
thought of the President and
whether she was proud of
Brooklyn'S centenary and
whether the recognition of Rus
Sia would be a danger to this
country. But it was her after
noon to talk, not mine. And
she didn't ask me any questions.

It, the young woman in front OF
me at the movie undertook to
tell me all. She knew that I
was a stranger to these parts
brooklyn to be exact) and as
sumed that I had never been
at the movies before. SO when
/ said something about George
Raft to my companions, men,
tioning the fact that he makes
q dazzling and sinister menace
on the screen, she turned and
sighed, els he good, oh boy, is
he good!" No cold print will

last three words. agreed that
he was good.
She told me all about him.
For a time r thought she might
be his 12-year-old sister 1T
somehow had got into my mind
that Raft was a Brooklyn boy.
Presently, however, knew what
I was meeting, for the first cime,
q movie fan who lives on movie
magazines. What she thought
she was meeting, I dare not go
into. Nothing much, suspect;
because she spelled out for me
the names of various movies in
which Raft had appeared and
the names, also, Of theaterS at
which I might catch them.
Personal Appearance
She knew about Mr.. Rats
early career and about his
plans for the future. She knew
his leading women or the stars
for whom he had been leading
man, and she had pronounced
opinions about them. Il should
say that most of this went on
during the stage show; the lit
tie lady was not interested in
the magnificent comedy of
Jimmie Savo; I was, but there
was no quarrellng WIN ner
flow of information. She was
waiting for Raft to appear in
person.)
Unfortunately for her, he did
not appear in the costume to
which she was accustomed. He
Sauntered out of a green spot

me and said, "Is that George
