bELATED RETURNS
HEARTEN WORKERS
IN CHEST EFFORT
Special Assignment Unit Re-
ports Progress Toward ~
$557,184 Quota.
GOVERNMENT GROUP
FIRST OVER THE TOP
Two Women Visiting in Califor.
MIA Telegraph Pledges of $4,000
Each to Fund.

Belated returns in the Community
Chest campaign are swelling the
grand total Of Washington's mercy
fund and heartening the volunteer
solicitors in their post-campaign eff
fort to wipe out a deficit of $I65. 900.
The Governmental Unit already
has gone over the top since the close
OF the drive Wednesday night, and the
Special Assignment Unit today re-
ported encouraging progress toward
its quota Of $557,184.
Coleman Jennings, chairman of the
Special Assignment Unit, announced
receipt by telegraph of two $4,000 gifts
from California. They came from
Mrs. Helen S. DeVore and Mrs. Mary
e. Stewart, who are visiting in the
West. Their telegraphic subscriptions
represent so per cent increases over
their last years pledges.
Wire Brings Pledges.
The long-distance pledges were the
result Of wire sent the two women
by Chairman Jennings and Y. E,
Booker, team captain in Jennings
unit, explaining about the deficit in
this years campaign.
This unit also reported the follow
ing additional gifts: 5000 from Mrs,
Ralph Worthington, 500 from Mr..
and Mrs. Percy Crosby and 500 from
a donor who prefers to remain anony-
nous.
The Special Assignment Unit must
raise approximately $4,000 more to
attain its quota. Today it had Sc
cured 90 per cent of its goal.
One of the most outstanding ex-
amples of Chest giving was made
public at the Farm Credit Admin
istration yesterday with the receipt
of check from one of their field
workers. This man formerly lived
in town where there was a Com
munity Chest and supported it. He
moved from there to another city,
which also contains a Community
Chest, and his working headquarters
are in Washington.

which he lives and $40 to the city in
which he formerly lived. He also
inclosed a check for $40 for the
Washington Community Chest. His
salary is $4,000 a year.
Gives Prize to Chest.
Another incident at the Farm Credit
Administration was the rafting of a
turkey, which was won by Mrs. Bertha
S. Flowers Given her choice between
the turkey and 81, she took the 81 and
gave it as an additional pledge to the
Community Chest.
In the Metropolitan Unit it was re-
ported Government worker, a woman
who had given $25 through the Gov
ernmental Unit, voluntarily asked for
pledge card in the Metropolitan Unit
and pledged IS per month or $50 more
in order to help the Chest reach its
goal.
All contributions received by all
units are to be forwarded Immediately
to the Audit Unit and it is impossible
to tell, until the final audit is made,
just what additional progress the
Chest is making.

night Qhalf price, and visitors bring
the family and make day of it.

U YERR DOKTOR LUTZ HECK,
- director of the Berlin Zoo,
paid prenatal visit today to
n an animal friend in the
Washington Zoo. The friend is about
to become a mother.
More than 10 years ago DR.. Heck
captured an ibeian beisa oryX in
Emperor Halle Selassie's domain and
subsequently gave 1t to his brother
Hans, who directs the Munich Zoo.
Through an animal dealer the ante
lope-like creature finally became a
resident of the Zoo here.
The tan-furred mother-to-be be-
haved skittishly when DR.. Heck
stretched a welcoming hand through
the bars. She pranced to another
part Of her cage and hammered her
long horns against a wall, but finally
was persuaded to twinkle her nose
at her visitors fingers. Her initial
timidity may have been a reaction
to DR.. Heck's pea green suit, green
tie, green felt hat and green shirt.
Brisk and broad-shouldered, the
Berlin Zoo director spent a morning
of his brief visit here appraising DR..
William Mann'S Zoo wards.
"Postman's Holiday"
TITS hke-what you call it?-post-
mans holiday" he said. DR.. Heck

ments here apparently was a brief
chat with Sergt. Tobinsky, Polish
head of Zoo police. Sergt. Tobinsky

Washington Zoo, although it is much
smaller than his. He was surprised

PRETTYMAN HINTS
BAN ON ; BOOKS.
Guarded Statement Issued
on Texts Protested by
Anti.Red Groups.

Corporation Counsel z. Barrett Pret-
lyman has thrown out a rather clear
hint he believes three text books used
in the public schools should be lifted
from courses of study because they
appear to show favor for the COM
munistic government Of Soviet Russia.
Prettyman issued a guarded state
ment last night after scanning q
number of sections of three OF the
texts dealing with forms Of govern
ment. The books were taken to him
by a representative of the group
which has been campaigning against
the Board of Education position on
the communistic propaganda question.
Prettyman said:
These books were brought down
for me to see, and out of natural
human curiosity, I, of course, looked
them over. But the question of
whether they should be kept in the
course of study is a matter before the
school board and is not before me
oficially, and, therefore, I will not
attempt to pass upon them.
However, If the committee Is to
use my opinion as a guide, which I
understand they are to do, they should
not have much difficulty deciding the
question which they have to decide"
The three books which Pretty.nan
scanned were "An Introduction to
American Civilization" and Chang
ing Civilization In the Modern World"
both by Harold Rugg, professor OF
education Of Teachers College, Co.
lumbia University, and "ModeTn, His
tory" by Carl Becker, a Cornell UNI
versity history professor. !.
Prettyman declined to expand his
statement last night and today was
reported out of town.
The Prettyman opinion, to which
he referred In his press release, was
the one which was adopted by the
Board of Education as its guide in
connection with the legislative amend
ment to the District appropriation act
which forbade teaching or advocat-
ing" of communism In the schools.
In that opinion, Prettyman said It
would be proper for teachers to out.
line the facts of communism so long
as they did not advocate that form Of
society or by any implication give any
shadow of favor to communism.

RECOMMENDED PAINLESS
DEATHS FOR OLD HORSES
Mrs. lie Verne Beales, in Urging
easy Passage Out" for D. c.
Animals Meant Execution

''It was a mercy death" rather
than 'old-age pensions" for veteran
horses in District service that was
proposed yesterday to Peoples Coin-
sci William A. Roberts by Mrs. 1e
Verne BealeS, second vice president
of the Washington Animal Rescue
League.
The story carried yesterday In The
Star was based on this paragraph, in
Mrs. Beales' letter: -,
"Old-age pensions are given to hui
man beings, why not give horses that
have served the Government well an
easy passage out, rather than sell
them for q few dollars" -ov
The phrase "easy passage out" was
interpreted to mean Mrs. Beales
sought old-age pensions. The in
depreciation was incorrect. BY easy
passage out" Mrs. Beales says she
meant 90 quick and painless death
for old. vorn-out horses."
