Lauding Her for Lewis Protest
B, Stat. Correspondent Of The Star.

| By a STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, February 10
Mrs. Flemming Holland, who came to
Alexandria two years ago to find peace
and quiet after roaming up and down
the EARTH" today sat in her palatial
retreat and admitted she is rather
confused" by the uproar created by
her refusal to show her home unless
John l. Lewis clapboard residence at
| 212 Fairfax street is stricken from the
| list Of those to be visited for the bene-
fit of the Rector's Aid Society of ST.
Paul's Church.
| The Holland home was purchased
originally for Mrs. Hollands mother
and niece. Soon after the purchase
however, her mother died and the niece
married and moved away. The second
floor Is cut up into three suites, only
one Of which is now occupied by Mrs
Holland.
After conducting newspaper men on
a tour of the house today. Mrs. Hol-
land pointed dramatically at the
hinges on her front door and re-
marked:
Even back in the eighteenth CEN
tury this feud between Holland House
and the House of Lewis was foreseen. ~
She referred to the "H. L." hinges
on the door. These hinges, of heavy
hand-wrought iron. form the two let
ters beginning the names of the feud-
ing families.
Follows Routine.
Despite the furore created by Mrs.
Hollands blasts at the labor car, she
Is following her regular routine and
social engagements. She was hostess
yesterday to Princess Thurn und Taxis
at the Mayf1ower Hotel and was to
have luncheon with the princess at
her Wolfe street home today.
Significant Of Mrs. Hollands atti-
tude toward mysterious telephone
caller yesterday, who was said to have
threatened her, was a large sofa
pillow near the front door inscribed
with the words. Don't worry-it never
happens"
Since the first reports of the feud
between Mrs. Holland and the c. I. o.
leader got into newspapers this week,
Mrs. Hollands mail has more than
doubled with most of the letters COM
mending her on her stand.
Only one letter so far has criticized
her stand, that being written on Army
and Navy Country Club stationery.
Receives Reporters.
Mrs. Holland received reporters to-
day dressed In a dark-blue and green
dressing robe, black lounging pajamas
and a green and white scarf. She is
a petite, rather modest and soft
spoken woman. All the time she was
talking to reporters she slipped from
a glass Of lemon juice, which had been
left on her breakfast tray in her bed
room.
Offsetting what she termed "exag-
gerated reports of pretentiousness' in

her home, Mrs. Holland refers to 1t
as the next type Of gentleman's house
after the log cabin"
Other Protests Reported.
Because of Mrs. Hollands action
the tour of the old homes in Alex
andria has been postponed from April
l to May Is. Mrs. Holland declared
today, however, that she had sug-
gested the postponement prior to her
stand against Lewis.
Although it could not be confirmed,
it was reported today that some of
the other owners of old homes in
Alexandria had joined in her fight
against Lewis and will not show their
homes unless his residence Is dropped
from the list.

out. The worst disaster on the Pacific
Coast occurred 13 years ago near San
Clemente Island aboard the U. S. s.
Almost two tons of TINT
exploded in gun turret, killing three
officers and IS enlisted men.

at anchor behind the breakwater to-
day. All shore leave for her crew

ANOTHER "CAMPAIGN' IN THE OFFING

While probably not attaining the proportions of last years contest it appears that we going to have another campaign this coming summer Some of the of the country up in arms about their rights again and reports that they propose to do something about it. which sounds if Dad and the kids going to eat many cold snack out of the ice box this summer.
 The campaign for that is what they call it. got underway recently in New York when representa- tives of of womens organizations met in that city and drafted what they called wonens charter, and which they propose to have endorsed by various womens groups The campaign" to get such action will start in the spring.
 The new charter" advocates special protective laws for women in various occupations.
 But. it develops, that all is not serene within the ranks of the fair GeX and another group of woren known as the "Wcmaa's Party" takes exception to the Charter" which they label "clarer of tn- equality" becsuse they alega it does not cT end eq1al rights to yemen They declare il would scr n}'1o q against woraan n labor legislation. Thus the mes drawn for the spring and summer "ca rararr."
 Since Eye tock ever the situa in the Garden of Eden it always has beer a difficult ask for men to understand women Alwsvs the latter have ruled the world and man poor worsh;pfn creature, las rather enjoyed it. He likes to t)ss aside crown talk back to the boss risk his neck in spectacular stunt just to show the little It is the nature CT the creature. And, it appears that this spring and summer he again going to have to come to the aid of that certain pary-eat cold food or what he find in the ice box while mother and the girls go out and wlloop it up for the Charter" After all the fair might well have charter and surely the country won't be normal unless We have a campaign.

Roosevelt on the Court
CNew York world-Telegram)


 year ago what President Roosevelt did before Congress recently would have been breath taking and have caused epidemic of apoplexy in the Liberty League.
 For here was the Executive in government Of three equal and coordinate branches-executve leg islative and judical-appearng before the legislative and featuring the judicial.
 But instead of being sensation now what he did and what he said regarded quite mild com pared with what might have been expected The reason? What happened November 3.
 Before those election returns came in comment on the Supreme Court had been regarded political dynamite and the Constitution had been built up into what was thought to be a potent campaign bugaboo The Court and the Constitution were much relied upon issues means for putting MT Lam don over Every chord the organ of reverence and sentiment was played And the Roosevelt landslide the answer
 The result has been to take the Court and the Constitution out of the emotional field and to put them where they can be dealt with rationally. The political fear is gone and no longer is it the tradition that the judiciary may be viewed only through smoked glasses. And that believe, is progress
 The President described his conception of the deeper purpose of democratic government-"To assist many of it's citizens as posSibe-especially those who need it most-to improve their conditions of fife" He restated the objectves of the New Deal. He declared that those objectives cannot be attained through parallel and simultaneous action by forty eight States" but only by federal action supplement- ing State laws. And then he put it up to the Supreme Court to modernize.
 "The vital need" he said lis not alteration of fundamental law, but an increasingly enght- ened view with reference to it. Difficulties have grown out of its interpretation; but rightly considered t be used instrument of progress, and not as device for prevention of action"
 And because all of us believe that demo- cratic form of government cope adequately with modern problems they arise, it is patriotic as well IS logical for to prove that we can meet new na- ional needs with laws consistent with historic constitutional framework clearly intended to receive liberal and not interpretation.
 And so he left itr-with the next move up to the Court.
 In Congress will appear proposals for amendments and for curbing the power of the Court But far the President is concerned he rests the immediate future of his program the hope that those who Isit on the nations highest bench intelligent enough to interpret the election returns express ion of the wishes and the needs of the people Of this democracy.

The President to Congress
(New York Times)

MT. Roosevets first message to the Seventy fifth Congress is in effect schedule of future public bus ness Immediate action by Congress is necessary in only two matters. One is the strengthening of our neutrality laws to cover the unhappy civil war in Spain The other is the decision what tenn porary agencies with what powers, to be retained after their authorization by law expires it will soon This particular question the President leaves for determination to Congress alone. Doubtless he will assist it to make up it's mind but at present he offers recommendation whatever His budget mes sage will be sent to Congress separately MT Roose welt also announces that he will before long send message detailing his plans for the reorganization of Government departments. Then, after his inaugura- ton for second term he will address Congress from time to time subjects concerning which he thinks legislation needfu To this general outline of future effort the message is almost purely preliminary.
 Yet it's tone and treatment are such as to give the country added reaSSurance The President does not speak like man thinking of new experiments and crusades. His attitude is rather that of com mander who desires mainly to consolidate gains all ready made and to enlarge them slowly and prudent ly The Presidents reference to the National Recovery Act is significant. He refers to it having been made outlaw" by the courts but admits that it rapidly breaking down of it's own weight because undertook to do too much at once by the same agency. That mistake must not be repeated Yet the spirit of cooperation which underay it must be chung to and cherished.
 MT Roosevelt asked the Congress and the country for the fullest sort of cooperation in the years to come The struggles Ol the naJOn III ana out Ol the depression have shown that democracy can be made to work They have also shown that the Constitution of the United States is fully adequate instrument of Government It may need more liberal interpretation of of it's parts and in this the judicial branch of the Government may be expected to give aid but
 it does not require any radical amendment.
 Thus the Presidents trumpet in his message to Congress does not give forth an uncertain sound. But happily it is not summons to battle. It is, rather, note appealing for peaceful cooperation in cepIfr ma and into inpc which the hearts desire of all the American people They will take this first public announcement of policy and hope by the President augury and guaran- tee of many good things to follow.

 Marriage" he said, will never be free enough from adventure. un- certainty and hardship to make it continuously, interesting experi- ence."
 While in normal times the old adage when poverty comes in the window, love goes out the door," has held true" he said, "the depression has brought out the great >capa- bility of men and women to adjust themselves to lower incomes
 During the depression years. he said, wives have become unusually tender and considerate of their hus- bands in trouble"
