4 Puppies Long
To Go Home
With You

These cute little puppies are
awaiting adoption at the home of
Joseph Chlopicki, Berwyn Heights,
Md, just outside of College Park.
Not that Mr.. Chlopicki can't
give them a good home, but three
ladies and one gentleman of this
age are just little too much for
him.
About seven weeks old, these
puppies are mixture of wire-haired
terrier and Spitz. They are at an
age when they can easily be
trained and handled, and if you
know a child who has been pining
for a pet, we can think of no bet
ter companion than one of these
little dogs.

Washington had the unusual
distinction today Of aiding a
group of foreign visitors in an
understanding of the history of
their own country.
Three Brazilian educators, with
members of their families, made
a special trip to the Catholic
University to examine rare vol
umes in the Lima Library, num-
bering 1000 volumes, and gen.
orally regarded as the most COM
prehensive collection of Braziliana
in the United States. The COL
lection was presented to the Uni
versity in 1924 by the late DR..
Manoel de Oliveira Lima, former
professor of international law.
Today's visitors were DR.. H.
Carneiro Leao, DR.. Laurence and
his wife, and DR.. belgrade Car
valbo and his wife and daughter,
Brazilians who are touring the
United States. They were re-
ceived at the university by DR..

David Rubio, DR.. Herbert Wright

KING WILL PUSH.
CENTER FUND
|NCONGRESS
Measure Authorizes District
To Make $2,800,000
Loan From PWA

Legislation authorizing the Dis
trict to borrow $2,S00,000 from
the Public Works Administration
to finance construction of three
minor buildings of the first unit
of the proposed Municipal Cen
ter will be rushed through Con-
gress as soon as possible, Senator
William H. King CD Of Utah,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, announced today.
A bill for this purpose has been
framed by the District Commits
sioners, who will present it to
Congress this week.
Agree on Project
Senator King said that he has
conferred with the Commissioners
and the National Park and Plan
ming Commission, of which he is
a member, concerning the pro-
posal, and that all are agreed 1t
is a worthy project.
Explaining that he cannot
speak for the PWA. the District
chairman expressed the belief
that virtually the only contin'
gency as to the granting of the
loan would be the availability OF
funds. Senator King added that
these almost certainly will be pro-
vided as soon as the pending 4,80O
million dollar work relief bill is
enacted.
Debt Approved
The Senator said that should
the $4,000, 900 loan authority bill
be approved, the District will be
further indebted to the extent
of 10 per cent of the amount,
but added he believes the city
can well afford to go into debt
to this extent. He added:
81 was Of the belief that the
more pretentiOus plans which
were under consideration for
the construction of the Munich
pal Center were too costly, and
I am gratified that they have
been modified"

DIR. CHARTERS
STANDING
Henry |. Quinn, Of Education
Board, Asks For Details on
Ohioan'S Council Post

Action will be taken by the
School Board today to learn to
what extent one of the District
schools advisors is affiliated with
the educational system of Soviet
Russia.
This was made known upon
the revelation that DR.. w. W.
Charters, chief consultant in the
character development expert
ment in the schools here. is listed
as a member of the American
Advisory Council Of the Uni
versity of Moscow.
DR.. Charters is paid $50 a day
for coming here two days q
month from the University OF
Ohio to advise teachers on the
character development program.
May Mean Nothing
Henry I. Quinn, member Of the
Board of Education, said he would
ask for details on DR.. Charters
status at the board meeting to-
day. He said:
"The fact that Or. Charters
is listed as an advisor by the
Russian university may mean
nothing extraordinary. Never
the less, 1 feel that it Is the duty
of the Board of Education to
satisfy itself as to the extent Of
DR.. Charters affiliations with
Moscow university and whether
he, himself, is a member Of the
Communist party"
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin
tendent Of schools, was warm in
his defense of DR.. Charters. He
said the District was fortunate
in obtaining the services of such
a nationally outstanding educa
tor.
He said DR.. Charters was rec.
commended by DR.. Royal S. Cope
land, Senator from New York,
and that he knew nothing of the
Ohioan's affiliation with Russia
nor of his political leanings when
the appointment was made. DR..
Ballou added:
even if I had known at the
time what I know now about
DR.. Charters 1 would have rec
commended his appointment"
Fish Flags Reds
Denial that DR.. Charters ever
had attempted to introduce any
CommuniStic doctrines into the
District school system was made
by DR.. Ballou and a number Of
teachers.
While the District development
was taking place, the spread Of
Communism was being attacked
on a nationwide scale by Repre-"
sentative Hamilton Fish (RD Of
New York.
In a radio address last night
Mr.. Fish said the growth Of
Communism lis more rapid and
extensive in American college
than in any other sphere Of
Communist activity"

Ken Murray
Says:

From the report Of that Con.
gresSiOnaI committee, inveSti-
eating un-American activities,
it looks like this country is
Over-run with radicals. Why
tolerate those crazy European
ideas? We have enough Of our
own.
For instance, in Germany
and Italy, a citizen raises his
hand and takes orders from a
dictator. while over here, we
let the traffic-cOp raise his
hand. and also give the or"
ders.
Then look at Russia. They
give everything they make,
above a bare living, to the
government and call 1t Com
munism". We do the same,
and call it "taxes."
so REMEMBER:
While worrying about getting
the "RedS" out of the country
.. let's also concentrate on get
ting the country out Of the
"red."

Dear Mr.. Mellon
You wouldn't want to hang
your $19,OOO,OOO worth of pic
lures in somebody else'S Art
Gallery, would you.
The opera House which
Washington SO badly needs,
among it's other great Public
Buildings, would be the place
for your contribution to ma
tional culture.
Perhaps you may think of a
way to build the Opera House.
This week, the white House
y bursting with hospitality.
Almost every night and after
noon, colored buffers will be
smiling and bustling about in
the lobby Of the East Entrance
or up by the big front door,
"restin' the wraps Of the ladies
and gentlemen"
Preceding the parties, natural
", have been invitations hoping
that the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt would have the pleas
ure of several thousand COM
panies." Big imposing invita-
tions.
With the name of an expected
guest in penmanShilo that looks
like engraving. That makes one
feel the President OF the United
States and his charming wife
had so particularly wanted ones
own self at their party that
they had had a special plate
engraved with ones very own
name.
This pretty and flattering en-
GraVer'S script is the work of en-
artist penman. Of several art
lists penmen. Adrian Barclay
Tolley is the senior White House
penman. He does the White
House invitations to dinner.
His four assistants who hope
You will come to a tea, a muSi-
Gale, or a reception are P. E.
Strievy, R. M. Roudabush, Erwin
Davis, and Harry H. Little. They
send out about $4,000 invitations
q season. One week they wrote
5000.
Md. Tolley can do thirty or
forty invitations in a day. He
also does the names in dinner
table seating charts. These are
photostated, bound and indeXed.
They become a part of the per-
manent records Of the White
House.
Mr.. Tolley has been filling in
White House invitations with the
names Of fortunate people for 19
years. He asked the guests for
woodrow Wilson'S second mar
riage. Wrote the names of those
who met Queen Marie, Colonel
Lindbergh, and the King and
Queen of Siam in the East Room
of the White House. Mrs. Hard
ing'S replies to letters of condol-
ence, when President Harding
died, were written by Mr.. Tolley.
