Distinguished Guests
One night last week the Cafe
Samovar, located in the Burlington
Hotel on Vermont Avenue, was the
scene Of several parties given by
well known Capital folk. Phil King
and Anne Greene entertained
about six guests in the Caucasian
Lounge, while seated nearby was
Representative Rich, the fiery Re
publican from Providence, r. I.
Pathe News also was strongly rep
resented on this particular night
by Jim Corrigan and Al Holland
Two brand new acts and two
followers will be the features Of
the floor show at La Paree.
Renee and Renato, ballroom
team, and Mary Kent, high
kicker, are both now in their
second week. sgd and Buddy, a
fast moving tap duo, and the
Three ArgonautS, strength ar
fists, are the new attraction.
This last named act has the
unique distinction of having a
girl in the trio. She proves her
strength by lifting both her
partners.
The Madrillon is evidently the
place to celebrate weddings and
anniversaries. No less than ten
of this type of parties were held
in this club last week. Whenever
there is serenading to be done,
Leon BruSiloff brings over

A 900-million-dollar Fedora
program for rural identification
was provided in a bill introduced
in the House today by Chairman
Rayburn ID OF Texas, of the
Interstate Commerce Committee.
The measure would provide

fit.
Purchases Of wiring, electric
appliances and plumbing equip
ment could be financed through
loans to rural customers. Ray
burn said:
There Is, perhaps, no under.
taking more important to the
