BERLIN, July q U.N,S0-One
Jew-Fraulein Helen Meyer, Ger
man women's fencing champion
has been invited to train with the
German Olympic fencing team
and so far is in direct line to
WELD a foil for the third Reich
next summer.
Fraulein Meyer is now attending
Scripps College, Claremont, Cal,
near Los Angeles. Announcement
of an invitation was made today
by DR.. Karl Diem, Secretary-gen'
eral of the organizing committee.
Tests Not Yet Held
There was, however, no asSur'
ance that the fencing champion
would last through the prelimi'
nary and final elimination COM
petition. DR.. Diem said:
"No discrimination against
Jewish athletes is intended. II
any qualify for the Olympics,
they will be included on the
German team.
But so far none Of the Jew.
fish aspirants to the Olympic
team has been active all sum.
mer, and that ought to prove
false reports that Jews already
have been eliminated in the
preIiminaries."
The initial tests, he said, would
be held next spring, and the finals
not until June.
It was the opinion in sports cir.
cles, however, that the Olympic
team would be 100 per cent
"Aryan," with the possible eXcep-
ton of Fraulein Meyer.
Situation in 1882 Cited
DR.. Diem pointed out that there
was not a single Jew on the Ger
man team that competed in Los
Angeles in 1882, before Hitler
came into power. He said:
"You didn't accuse German
anti-Semitism for that. Several
other Olympic teams at Los
Angeles had no Jews, either
the British, for instance-and
nobody accused them Of racial
determinations"

CLOSE
WHITE HOUSE
KITCHEN
Big Problem Is "Who
Gets the Meals
And How"
BY EARL GOODWIN

You would never think it, but
practically everybody at the
White House will have to go out
side for meals beginning Monday.
OF course the President of the
United States isn't going to be
showed around in any beanery or
boarding house, but if anyone else
around 1900 PePPnnsylvania Ave.
wants anything to eat, he or she
will have to hustle up and down
Pennsylvania Avenue looking for
a place to eat.
The reason for this strange stu
alton is in the fact that the White
House kichen is going to be closed
down for about a month begin
ming Monday.
A new electric air cooled up-to-
date kitchen filled with white tiles
and gadgets is being installed, and
will not be ready for 80 days at
least.
Last Meal Tomorrow
Meantime, the good old kitchen
which has done such noble Serv-
ice for a century will have cooked
its last meal tomorrow night,
when it dishes up a Sunday
night supper for whoever hap
pens to be on hand.
The President will not be here,
as he is down the bay this week
end, but when he awakes Mon
day morning his breakfast will
have to be cooked on tiny lit
tie electric range up on the
third floor of the Executive Man
sion.
In fact, the big kitchen failed
to do its stuff this morning, and
it now leaks out that the presi-
Dental breakfast today was some
of this third-story coffee and cold
cereal.
This gypsy-like kitchen camp
on the third floor, however, can
cook, if crowded, just about three
meals at a time. That means,
then, that three people in the
White House can be served with
food regularly.
The rest must eat out.
And Then-the Water
Now there are at present in the
White House, President Roosevelt,
Col. and Mrs. Louis Howe, and
Miss Margaret LIE Hand, the
Presidents personal secretary.
The big game at the White
House is going to be called:
"Dinner, dinner, who eats in
for dinner"
This arrangement now goes for
everybody who comes to the White
House as guest. 1t also goes for
the MONDAY lunches in the
Presidents office. He also has
Secretary Morgenthau for lunch
on Mondays. and some "big shot"
On every other day in the week.
That means two lunch trays
carried over to the office from
the White House-So that at
lunch time it looks like everybody
except Louis Howe would have to
scurry around among the nearby
cafeterias.
The worst is yet to come,
though, because when the new
electric kitchen is finally installed,
they will have to shut off the
water in the White House. Looks
like Congress will have to adjourn
so that the RooseveltS can go to
Hyde Park-or else.

Radcliffe In Favor
Of MARYLAND Relief

Senator George L. Radcliffe
3D., Maryland, again urged that
the Maryland work-relief program
be speeded in a telephone CONVEX
sation with Marvin M. Mcintyre,
secretary to the President.
Senator Radcliffe's appeal was
taken to the President but what
assurance that the Maryland
situation would be rushed could
not be learned. The Senator ex-
pressed hope that the whole pro-
gram would be worked out within
a day or two.
