This home town of Col. Charles A.

and regret at the departure of its
favorite son from America.
1T is sad picture" lamented
County Attorney Austin L. Grimes,
who met Lindbergh upon his re-

flight in 1927. II regret to see that
law-enforcing agencies are so in

have moved to some other part of
this country where law enforcement
is more rigid"
Martin Engstrom, one of the
colonels best friends, expressed
dismay at the news;
II don't think Charlie ever will
be satisfied to live in England"
Engstrom, who watched Lindbergh
as boy tinkering in his workshop,
continued:
Things are pretty bad when a
man has to get his own family out
of his own country through no fault
of his own. At no time during their
numerous conversations here last
summer, did Charles or Anne hint
they would leave. I never ques-
toned Charles about his plans but

THEY'RE OPEN
TODAY--LAST-
MINUTE GIFTS
Forgotten Man Remembered
in Downtown Rush at
Counters.

Ties, hosiery, handkerchiefs and
cigars, purchased hurriedly by last
minute shoppers yesterday. were
opened today by persons almost
forgotten in the Christmas shop
ping daze.
Gifts were bought in haste for
names added to Christmas lists IS
shoppers made last-minute inyen-
tory Of friends and relatives.
There was the woman VINO
dashed into a pet shop yesterday to
pick out a new collar for her dog
She said she didn't know how she
had forgotten him.
Weary clerks smiled listlessly at
the shoppers who demanded a lace
handkerchief, silk scarf, size nine
stockings or bottle of perfume.
Buy in Haste
There was little of the leisured
bargaining and careful selections
that marked the early days Of the
Christmas rush. Shoppers wanted
merchandise and they wanted it in
a hurry yesterday. Very few ex-
pensive purchases were made, and
the 5 and 10-cent stores were
jammed.
Liquor stores reported that many,
who hesitated to trust themselves
with a bottle of Scotch two weeks
before Christmas, bought yesterday.
Tobacco counters sold many
boxes of cigars, pipes and cartons
Of cigarets.
Probably the busiest place in the
downtown area was the City Mar
ket, thronged with housewives buy
ing supplies for holiday menus.
There was an upturn in the sled
and ice skate business, because of
the freezing weather and heavy
snow.
In spite Of the last-minute haste,
shoppers generally were good
natured. Some clerks said they
were too tired to snap at sales per-
sons.
Business among merchants was
heaviest just after the noon hour,
because many firms gave their en-
ployes half holidays to complete
their shopping.
Most clerks tried to relax and
forget business today, because they
realize that tomorrow the shoppers
again are to descend upon the
stores to exchange gifts and spend
Christmas money.

Budget Warning by Douglas
Welcomed by Press Critics

omy idea, there was henceforth to be
spending on scale that no one would
have believed could be possible in time
of peace If it had not later been so
generously demonstrated. Even
after all the prodigality of the past
two years, 1t is not too late to save the
day. Mr.. Douglas believes that the
budget could be balanced in two years
If the administration really wants to
accomplish it. But he also doubtless
believes that it will require more than
promises to make the two ends meet"
only Mr.. Douglas" concludes the
Chicago Journal of Commerce, comes
forward as a serious critic of the
Treasury's application of part Of the
gold-profit stahiliSation fund against
the public debt. Nearly every one else
who has commented sees the step as
positive bulwark against uncontrolled
imitation. Douglas looks at the pic
ture much as these columns did in
comment the day after the action was
taken. He sees the administration
which took this action as spending

overstep its mark in trying to prime
the industrial pump. produce political
pork and relieve destitution Why?
Mr.. Douglas was director Of the budget
until the New Deal made him too
dizzy for comfort. He Joined the
Roosevelt following in the campaign
days when it was crusading for a IS
per cent reduction of Government ex-
penditures; he left it when it desert

Branch Library Expansion.

There is hope here and elsewhere
that some Of the long deferred and
greatly NEEDED projects in public school
and public library construction may
be met through the use of funds to
be made shortly available for work
relief under the measure now in con-
ference at the Capitol. School needs,
as they relate to construction of ad-
ditional school building facilities,
have already been prepared by the
school authorities and laid before the
Commissioners. Other school needs,
represented in an adequate building
program of branch libraries, have
been placed before the Commission
ers by the Public Library trustees.
In today's Star a map and article
are printed in explanation of the pro-
posed building program of branch
libraries. One of the advantages OF
the program as drawn lies in the fact
that the sites for the new libraries
are already available. as far as public
ownership is concerned, and that the
long delay usually anticipated in site
selection and purchase would not in
this case be encountered. Two Of the
sites, in Petworth and at Wisconsin
avenue and Albermarle street, would
be transferred under arrangement
with the Board of Education; the
three other sites-for "a branch on
Conduit road, for branch near How
ard University and for a branch in
Southwest Washington-are held by
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission or by the Munich
pal government, and no difficulty is
expected in arrangements for their
dedication for library branches.
The public library system of the
District was created as "a supplement
of the public education system of said
District" and is rightly to be con-.
sidered in any program designed to
improve the service rendered by the
public schools. There is an addi-
tional factor which Dr. Bowerman,
the public librarian, mentions in con-
nection with the project now under
consideration, which is that the needs
for branch library expansion have
been greatly increased by reason of
new school construction. There are
sections of the school community of
Washington which are lacking in
adequate branch library facilities. The
public library system is not fulfilling
its great responsibility to the schools
and to the community at large when
1t lags behind their natural growth
and development.
One of the important purposes out
lined for the great expenditures under
the work-relief measure is to provide
employment on useful projects. The
libraries, along with the schools they
serve. take high rank in such a
category.
