NQUIsTTIvE SAL
Hello Everyone:

One of the largest crowds I've
ever seen attending a style show
turned out at the st. Thomas Epis-
copal show last Monday night.
The Knicherbacher Hall was so
crowded that a gang of folks had
to sorta linger out in the halls. A
couple of bright-eyed gels stood
on some chairs and to balance
themselves they just leaned all
over the heads of some of the in
nocent (handsome) male by
ISLANDERS. The clothes modelled were
so lovely that you had to ask your
self twice were you SEEM things.
MAXINE SHANNON caught
my eye with that very alluring
green lacey dress she wore. I.
PATTY DAVIDSON, as always,
made a perfect model. IKA-
LINE MOORE was one of the
sweet sub-deb models. BAR
BARA MCCLURE JUS flashed that
brilliant smile of hers and won the
hearts of the audience. I.
DOROTHEA HARRIS looked very
striking in that black and white
evening wrap. Everyone agreed
that the wedding gown NINA
SALTERS wore was one of the
loveliest. HELEN WATERS
really looked striking as one of the
bellies of the old COS. The whole
show brought up the eternal ques-
ton of "What to Wear" Clothes
are women's background. I won
der do we women dress to please
the men or to impress other
women. (Girls, we'll discuss that
amongst ourselves. IF we do dress
to please men we won't tell them,
anyway, will we?) >. Those who
took time out for romance at the
dance were DON SESSIONS and
BETTY RSHALL, BOB
SHOFFNER and MARIANNE
CARTER, LIE ROY and ETHEL
WILLIAMS. The most popular
song played-"This is My Last At
fair" although good old "Chris-
topher Columbus" has never lost
its popularity and probably never
will. Well, that's all for that.

REORGANIZATION
FACES ROW ON
CAPITOL HILL
Compromise Seem on
Presidents Program
By FRANKLIN G. sARTWELL

BY FRANKLIN q. SAhTWELL
President Roosevelt's call for
enactment Of legislation p vid-
ing for reorganization Of the
"higgl' "-piggledy" form Of the
Federal Government at the extra
session of Congress will force a
fight which has been brewing for
months, it was indicated at the
Capitol today.
AS q result Of the battle, the
President is likely to get part Of
his "stream-hned" government and
Congress is expected to cling to
many Of the existing agencies.
SEES SPEEDY ACTION
Representative John ]. Cochran,
Of Missouri, chairman Of the
House committee considering re-
organization proposals, declares
that the reorganization proposals
of his committee will be COM
pleted by House action as soon as
that body can get down to con-
sidering them.
The real fight on reorganiza-
ton, however, will come in the
Sel- tie, where opposition to the
Presidents plan is led by Senator
Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia. Sena-
tor Iyrd has his own reorganiza-
ton scheme, aimed principally at
economy as against the Presidents
plan which is based more largely
on efficiency.
HOUSE CLEARS BILLS
Two reorganization bills have
alre ldy been passed by the House,
one giving the President author
ity to appoint six assistants, and
the other giving the President
general authority to realign
various branches Of the executive
department and providing for
creation Of a new department Of
Public Welfare.
These are scheduled for early
consideration by Senate commit
tees and on the floor Of that body.
The House has not acted upon
two other reorganization bills, one
of which would surrender the con-
troll of Congress over the Comp
troller General and the General
Accounting Office, and the other
of which revises the administra-
ton of the civil service, setting UP
a Civil Service Administrator to re-
place the present three-man COM
mission.
WHERE HALT CONES
It is on these two bills that the
Presidents program will SLOW
down, it was indicated at the Sen
ate today. That body does not
take kindly to the suggestion that
the Comptroller General, an
agent Of Congress for study of
fiscal administration, should be
made amenable to the Executive.
Likewise, Senators as dispensers
of patronage are not likely to look
with favor upon proposals which
would remove that patronage as
contemplated in the civil service
revision measure.

Wholesale Promotion Hit

The same gre advocates d
policy whereby there would be no
admission of failure among chill
dren. J. eryone should be pro-
NOTED, proponents of this policy
say. This, too, seems to me a
most unfortunate procedure. 1t
will mean that children will ar
rive in the high school who never
ahould be there. They will go
on through high school and enter
into professions in which they do
not belong, and when they go out
in the work-a-day world with poor
training, they will certainly find
it difficult to live a happ, useful
life, and will be a doubtful asset
to the community.
There is another educational
group that is advocating the abo-
ntion of all textbooks. Teaching
children history and social sub
jects through magazines and news
papers and through the preSenta-
ton of subjects by the teacher
would seem to this group o. teach
ers to be sufficient way of teach
ing history and social subjects.
That to me is most unfortu-
nate idea. Children should have
the benefit the history of the
past if only as a guide to future
activities of their own.
