NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-"Would you believe" asks a slim young woman in an apartment so near Central Park that you can smell the allan thus would you believe any one could be so tall that you couldn't paint his portrait unless you stood on a step ladder?'
 The creator of this query was a comedy Hungarian girl who came back from Budapest because she was overwhelmed with nostalgia for her studio in Goth Street It took her just three months to find this out, although she had prev iously lived in New York four and half years. Maria de Kammerer is of this manner.
 To chat with her or to attend one of her parties you would never inn agine that she has painted enough British Earls to cover half the walls of dozen galleries. In day when women are inclined to be "arty' Miss de Kammerer is too busy to talk about her achievements. At the point of gun you might obtain a lew grudglng tiffles of information, but outside of that you have to get your information on the outside. She adores painting but prefers to have her portraits speak for them selves.
 For instance:
 And whom are you painting Miss de Kammerer?"
 Two lovely children" she tells you, not mentioning that they are of the family of Walter B. Chrys- Ter, the automobile manufacturer.
 Somehow you have to go for girl like that

Another Billion For Relief Budget :.
But Election Comes First Mayors
Figure Needs =.

Observation-Disclosures of those who know
the relief situation privately predict that Roose-
welt will be asking Congress for nearly billion
dollars more by next January to supplement the
Sl50O 100000 already requested for WPA
Some of the men who best know the presi-
dents mind were whispering year ago that he
would ask for one COB of money before election
and another COB of money after election. Appar-
emily the plan hasn't been changed.
A few weeks ago the u s. Conference of
Mayors on the basis of the best survey it knew
how to make, estimated that at least s234o,0ooO00
of federal funds would be needed for the IL
months beginning July / That meant about
5000 100000 a month.
1t was pointed out that big cities, where
unemployment is chiefly concentrated, could
raise more money for relief only by taxing real
estate and that real estate carrying about
all it could bear.
Roosevelt in his relief message to Congress
raised the same point insisting it would be un-
fair to boost the tax burden the nations
small property owners. He said an appropria-
ton beyond 81 500 900 900 would be necessary un-
less industry substantially reduced the number
of those out of work.
Few authorities in Washington believe pri-
vate industry will substantially reduce the relief
burden and few think the president anticipates
it will although he left himself in a position to
blame ndustry'S falure-and to demand legs-
lation aimed at re-empoyment-when he came
back for more money.
Attention is being called to the fact that the
sum Roosevelt has asked would provide $780,
100000 month, which is about what the mayors
asked until the middle of February, which is
about as early as the administration could hope
to get an additional wPA appropriation from
the next Congress.
Roosevelts fishing trips always give rise to a
certain amount of beefng among subordinate
officials many of whom seem to fear that every
thing will go to pot if the president leaves Con-
gress to its own devices for a few days
Viewers s-with- alarm have pointed out that
in his absence last year the 81, ,80O,OOOOOO work
relief bill fell into mess and that the Senate
started eviscerating the NRA Blue Eagle.
This year Roosevelt left the big tax pro-
gram and the relief appropriation issue for the
boys to play with. But there's no reason to be-
lieve those situations will get out of hand any
more than if he were in Washington.
WPA officials, feeling rather self-righteous
about the job they have done both with FERA
and the work program, aren't panicky over the
Senate's forthcoming investigation of their ad-
miniStratlon.
They figure that practically all the dirt
there is on WPA already has been dug up and
thrown-and that if they handle themselves well
they can do a good propaganda JOB Tor the
administration under questioning.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The town
is going thoroughly Russian again
in its restaurant taste. The turore
of eight years ago, when every mid
town block boasted a Muscovite
cafe conducted by royal prince
or princess died as quickly as born.
Now the idea attains fresh fury.
1t was touched off when Vincent
Astor's ex-brother-in-law, Prince
Obolensky, sponsored the Maisonette
Russo in the rejuvenated st. Regis.
It was sort of glorified cellarette,
a throwback to the days of MoscoW's
splendor. A bortsch and caviar cave
that clicked from the kickoff.
The Sherry-Netherland has like
establishment presided over by the
celebrated General Lodijesky, who
used to receive the bon-tonS so grac-
iously at the Russian Eagle, long the
leader OF this type OF eating place
General is also to reopen the Rus
sian Eagle.
Two other Russian places are be-
ing readied on West 57th street and
there are already a half dozen in
the Grand Central zone. The Rus
sian spots are usually in red and
gold, candle lit and featuring unob-
trusiye accordionistS and guitariSts
strolling from table to table.
Two of the most enthusiastic
badge collectors in the country are
Morton DoWney, the tenor, and Joe
Laurie, Jr the comedian. This has
been their hobby for a number OF
years. Downey specializes in police
and fire badges and always carries
a number in his coat pocket. Laurie,
who has worn a cap all his life, plays
no favorites, every sort of badge
from celluloid cigaret button to the
huge Rotarian symbol is his dish
His vest is usually decorated with a
half a dozen or so.

Peggy Fears, whose boundleSs en-
ergy seems to include round OF
the popular spots nightly, has ac-

stop to the conversational buzz
wherever she appears. Miss Fears's
gait Is long stride and she arrives
with a sWoop, her hair flying, long,
thick, loose Her ensemble is an
exotic creation Of sequin flowers.
And she has been tanned Poly

In the course of conversation Miss
Harlow wondered why she could not
be a success as a dramatic actress
on the stage. With mock gravity,
Hammond told her it was because
she had no sex appeal. A group of
her friends listening in took the
observation seriously and went
deeply into a discussion. Hammond,
not sure whether he was being kid
ded or not, huffed and puffed, then
fled.
