Capital Schoolgirl Describes
Visit and "Speech" to Mussolini
Margot Garrett Speaks

How 16-year Washington

told in letter to her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. George A. Garrett, 1903
Eighteenth street, from their daughter
Margot.
Miss Garrett is a pupil at Miss Mays
School in Florence. Together with
her fellow pupils-American and Eng

more members Of our American youth

The Avvocato, dear man. had writ

very inspiring and patriotic. but I
couldn't possibly have said it; it would
have been sheer hypocrisy. That
wasn't being narrow-minded: 1t was
just that should think II Duce would
have seen through all the high-falutin'
adjectives and know that we didn't
think or believe any of them.
AT 3:25 We arrived at the Piazza
Venezia. II Duce had appeared on the
balcony to greet those foreigners who
were going to the monument where
the rings had been offered and, OF
course, the square was rilled with peo-
pie. The French and Hungarians had
already left and were marching around

attention-16 girls gong into the

TO STUDY
BLIND DEFINITION
Specialists to Confer Here
Saturday or Monday on
Miss Hoey'S Bid.

A conference to determine who are
the blind" will be held In Washington
soon--possibly Saturday or Monday.
Miss Jane Hoey, director of the
public assistant division of the Social
Security Board, under whom the AID
to the blind program is being ad-
ministered, is inviting specialists from
national organizations to the meeting
The sole purpose of this conference
will be to work out a satisfactory
definition of blindness.
Under the social security act. Miss
Hoey points out, States are soon to
receive Federal assistance in caring
for their needy blind. 1t is realized,
she added, that the States themselves
are far apart on whom they consider
the blind to be.
Two Factors in Blindness.
The state of blindness, she said, is
based on two factorS-economic and
visual-and there are many degrees
OF blindness. If a persons lack Of
sight prevents him from making a
living, then he may be considered
blind. If he has successfully over
come the handicaps of limited sight
and is engaged in a remunerative vo-
cation, he may possibly be considered
q normal person.
One State, Miss Hoey said, requires
two witnesses to the fact of blindness,
one of whom may be physician. A
physicians statement is not always
necessary. One insurance company
defines the blind as those without
the quality to perceive, distinguish and
recognize objects" The American
Foundation for the Blind says, Those
whose vision, with the aid of care
fully fitted glasses, is insufficient for
use in an occupation or activity for
which the sight is essential"
Boards Function Cited.
These descriptions and many others
will be presented, Miss Hoey said. in
the determination of a general, salts
factory definition.
The function of the Social Security
Board is not to set up fiat definitions
for the States, but to advise them in
working out their own individual rules,
she pointed out Since, however, the
board must approve State programs,
some general rule must be available.
Vacations for the blind-which
would wholly or partially relieve a
State Of obligations in their care
will be suggested also. For instance,
she said, the blind have been employ
ed successfully as dictaphene opera
tors, in handicraft work. in employ
ment bureaus and even as telephone
operators.

UPHELD BY COURT.

Lose Suit Against

A 100000 assessment by the con =.
troller of the currency against stock
holders of the Continental Trust Co.
was upneld today by Justice Jennings
Bailey in District Supreme Court.
Legality of the assessment was ques-
toned about eight months ago by a

that loans to be repaid by the assess
ments we're made to permit the Conti-
mental &c buy stock in the Commercial
National Bank and had nc standing

Continental could not legally purchase
Commercial stock.
Justice Bailey ruled that the stock
holders did not object at the time to
the money being borrowed and used
for stock pun chases and consequently
now are stopped from raising such
an objection.
He further pointed out that the
loans, which were made to the Con-
tinental by other banks, must be
recognized by the court as just
claims.
Although litigation Is in progress as
to other claims. the controller was
not required to wait for adjudication
Of these suits before levying an as
sessment on Continental stockhold-
ers, the judge declared.
The stockholders suit asked for
cancellation of the assessment, an
injunction against suits to enforce 1t.
and a declaration by the court that
some s350,000 of claims by lending
banks, which had been allowed by the
controller, were void.
