Buzzie's mouth and live rabbit from
beneath his coat.
Throughout a day of romping over
the big lawn only "a children got lost
from their parents. All save one had
been found again, however, before the
final count of noses at 5 O'Clock.
The lone exception was 3-year-old
Doris. who couldn't quite remember
in all the excitement, that her last
name was Gibson and that she lived
at POI D street.
Girl Scouts Help.
Doris became separated from her
father, John Gibson, shortly after 10
o'clock. Doris was taken in tow by
one Of several score of Girl Scouts
and Girl Reserves, who were helping
the White House police operate a
Bureau of Missing Persons"
Doris was taken to bureau head
quarters inside the mansion. Per-
haps her surroundings overwhelmed
her, for try as she might, she could
not quite identify herself Finally, at
3 O'Clock, the White House police de-
cided to call in the Women's Bureau
of the Metropolitan Police.
Doris was taken to the latter bureau
and about 8 o'clock last night her
mother and father located her, after
reporting her missing. Hugging a
tiny bunny, she was still dry-eyed
but happy when she finally got home.
Yardmen and guards recovered a
number of caps, small hats and sweat
ers, as we'll as a few vanity cases and
trinkets, all of which will be held for
proper identification.
The final attendance figure Of the
day was slightly in excess Of $4,000,
about half Of whom were children.

DAYTIME PARKING
BAN IS ENDORSED
Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee Approves Move to
Relieve Congestion.

The Transportation Committee of
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce yesterday Endorsed the proposal
made by special committee named
by the Public Utilities Commission
providing for elimination of daytime
parking on F and G streets from Fifth
to Fifteenth streets, and on Seventh
Ninth, Ten and Twelfth streets be-
tween Pennsylvania and New York
avenues.
The committee, however, took ex-
ception to the plan to prohibit the
parking of commercial vehicles on
those streets between 8 and $50 am,
holding that such a ban would work
a hardship on merchants who depend
upon such deliveries for their supplies
for the days business. Restaurants,
confectionery and drug stores were
included in this category.
In taking the action, the committee
expressed the belief such restrictive
measures were necessary if the Traffic
Department is to be expected to re-
lieve the deplorable traffic congestion
area Traffic Director Van Duzen was
guest of the committee.
The coup also voted to invite other
trade and civic organizations to dele
gate representatives to serve on a
special joint committee to wait on
Senators and Representatives on the
District Committees of both House and
Senate to urge action on the pending
bills for financial responsibility for
automobile drivers and for compulsory
insurance for taxicab drivers.
Included on the committee will be
representatives of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, Board OF
Trade. Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations. Federation of Civic Associa-
tons, American Automobile AsSocla-
ton and others.

w WASHINGTON and its Wis
itors will view cross
wv section of Americas c. w.
A. art in a 3o-day exhibit
tion now being arranged to
open at the Corcoran Gallery Of Art,
beginning April "a.
The display, embracing between 800
and 1000 individual works. will in
clude paintings, water colors. etch-
ings, Autographs. woodcuts, sculpture
and even tapestry weavings. OF the
entire group, Washington artists will
contribute approximately a twenty
fifth of the works, the remainder
coming from the country at large.
Discussing the exhibition today,
Forbes Watson, administration officer,
who is helping to plan the show, said
the display will be virtually a mod
ern illustration of the Venice of the
Renaissance.
Page From Renaissance.
1.-THE Venice of the Renaissance is
the last previous example of direct
employment of artists by Govern
ment," Mr. Watson declared today.
And Venice had no such exhibition
as will be held in Washington from
April "a to May "a. We in modern
America have borrowed a page from
the book Of Venice of the Renais-
sance"
The American movement to employ
artists is known as the public works
of art project and it has resulted in
the production of over 5000 individual
projects by as many as $500 artists.
The cost to the Government so far
has been slightly less than million
dollars. Every work executed by the
artists is the property of the Govern
ment.
American in Spirit.
The show now being planned will
demonstrate thoroughly American
recognition of art in daily life. Many
of the pictures were inspired by the
great Boulder Dam project, while
others drew their subject from Amer1-
can farm and rural life. The great
cities, with life beneath the stanchions
of elevated railways, likewise fur
nished material for Interpretation in
oil, water color and black-and-white.
The works in the exhibition repre-
sent the best that has been produced
by the Government-hired artists.
Each regional director chose from his
field the best examples of art done
there and forwarded them to Wash
ington. Here Mr.. Watson, Edward
Bruce, secretary of the Advisory Com
mittee on Fine Arts in the Treasury
Department, and Edward Rowan, as
sistant technical director Of the Pub
lie Works of Art project, acted as
Jury to select the works for the show.
The exhibition will occupy all OF
the galleries in the main wing OF the
Ccrcoran Gallery.

Point Since Postwar
Period of 1920.
FIELD EMPLOYEES NOW
RECORDED AS 531,839
Total Shown for February Is
More Than 10000 Above
That in January.

For the first time since the post
war period of 1920, Government per-
sonnet has passed the 100000 mark,
it developed today when the Civil
Service Commission, reporting as of
February %, showed 1852 employees
in the executive departments and in
dependent establishments.
In the District the total was 1913,
of which 1883 were on a permanent
Or indefinite employment-basis,

1920, when the total was 69l,ll6, in a
period when the great civilian war
machine was being dismantled. A
year later, 1t had fallen by 100000.
The total shown for February is
more than 10000 above that for
January 81, principally because the

terror, engaged on emergency conser-
walton work, is carried in a monthly
statement for the first time. These

which come under Agriculture
In Washington, in February, there

poraries. Outside, the gain of per-
manent employees was 2,495, and loss
of temporaries was 1860.

ors came from the Office of Edward
Corsi, Home Relief Bureau head,
Monday, that only relief workers
earning less than SIS week are to
be investigated with the view of
firing all whose incomes exceed the
starvation home relief budgets.
Since the greatest majority of the
relief workers are laborers earning
