Police Boys Clubs to Be Told
Stories of Art MASTERPIECES
Program, for Each of
5 Units Viii Be Held
Within Nest 2 Weeks.

The greatest objective of The Stars
art appreciation campaign-to make
art universal in Washington-neared
achievement today as plans were an
nounced for art programs to be pre-
sented before the Metropolitan Police
Boys Clubs.
Sergt. John Scott, director of the
clubs, which have done so much since
their inception to reduce juvenile de-
linquency, has arranged q program
for each Of the five clubs to be held
during the next two weeks.
The task of presenting The Stars
popular art project to a great cross
section of almost 10000 boyst Who
belong to the clubs-and presenting it
in way they will enjoy-has been
accepted by Dr. Fritz Marti, head of
the department. of philosophy and
professor of art at the University of
Maryland.
Presents Subject Pleasantly.
Thus far DR.. Marti has proved he
can take art from any standpoint
and present it pleasingly-over the
radio to the public at large, to busi-
ness men and to teachers. He is
looking forward with great inter-
est" to his scheduled appearance be-
fore the boys clubs.
The Stars art appreciation CAM
paign is helping boys in the District
to appreciate the better things in
life" Sergt. Scott said in commencing
the movement. 1--WE have been teach
ing police club boys the beauties of
Nature, because that contributes to
better citizenship. Beautiful paint
ings are another way to teach them.
Il think The Stars project is all
to the good. 1t is cultural stimulus
that is helpful in keeping the inter-
ests OF youth in the right channels.
Many boys are artists at heart, and
many Of them have talent which has
never been discovered. As we'll as
broadening the clubs work, the art
programs will be a most interesting
experiment for u.s."
Colored boys who belong to the
fourth precinct club, which was Or
ganized in April, already are being
taught art by w. P. A. instructor
two days each week
Schedule Of Programs.
Sergt. Scott announced the follow
ing schedule Of art programs for the

Gem Theft Here

With police probing the posi-
bility of a "gem-theft syndicate"
having been involved in the Bugher
$500, 900 jewel robbery here, which
last week led to the arrest of a
butler and recovery of the jewels,
a weekend wave of robbery ter
rorized Washington merchants and
taxicab drivers, who were the prln-
cipal victims.
Detective Joseph Shimon headed
the investigation of the huge jewel
theft, in which John MorclSchecK,
butler, was alleged to nave
stolen a fortune in gems from Mrs.
Henrietta M. Bugher, 17S5 MaSSa-
chuSetts Ave. N. w.
A woman has been arrested in
New York on suspicion of having
received the missing jewels from
the butler through the mails. 1t
is thought by police that the &C
cused butler may head theft syn
dicate. He has been employed as
a butler in the homes of many
wealthy persons both in America
and abroad.
Bandits Hit Customer
A gunman last night held up two
merchants within half an hour,
and wounded a customer in one OF
the stores. He first approached
Mrs. Tayo Tasaka, Japanese pro-
prietor of an ice cream shop at
1909 U st. N. W., and demanded
money. She gave him So, and
while he argued for more Mrs.
Tasaka's eightyear-old son entered
the store and started to scream.
When the bandit pointed a gun
at the child, his mother started
to scream hysterically. The BAN
dit fled, but within a short time
he entered a grocery at 1900 U st.
N. W., and robbed Nathan j.
Hanainy, SO, the proprietor of $40.
AS the gunman was leaving Frank
Robinson, colored, of 1855 U st,
N. W., entered the store. The gum
man struck Robinson over the
head with the butt of his gun and
fled.

SENATE GROUP
TO TAKE UP
MATTER
Sen. ConnaIIy Calls
Committee Meeting
on Robinson Plan

Action on the various proposals
before Congress to provide the
Nations Capital with an audito-
rum crystalized today with the
announcement that the Senate
Public Building and Grounds Com
mittee will meet Thursday at
10:30 a. m. to consider the matter.
Senator Tom Connally CD CT
Texas, chairman of the committee,
who already has announced he is
in favor of the general proposition
to provide such an auditorium, is
calling the meeting.
IckeS to be Called
Senator Joseph T. Robinson
Cd of Arkansas, majority leader,
who started the discussion of the
project as a result of the drench.
ing thousands received last Wed
nesday while watching the inaugu-
ration, is not a member of this
committee, but undoubtedly will
be present. Secretary of Interior
Harold Ickes is also expected 70
be witness.
Under the Robinson plan, the
Interior Secretary would have
supervisory jurisdiction over the
building when completed. The
plan now calls for the setting up
a commission to select site and
design for the building and to re-
port the cost to Congress.
Another proposal by Senator
William H. King CD of Utah,
directing the Thomas jefferson
Memorial Commission now en-
gagged in picking a suitable
memorial for this statesman, to
make it an auditorium with q
statute of Jefferson inside, is be-
ing held in allegiance.
BarkIey Busy
Senator Barkley CD Of Ken.
lucky, chairman of the Senate
Library Committee to which this
resolution was referred, is busy
trying to effect some relief for
the flood sufferers in his State
and will not be able to give his
attention to this proposal imme-
dlately.
He has said, however, that he
is in favor of an auditorium. If
the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
is to be useful rather than an
ornamental monument, he has no
definite objections to it, but he
rather faVorS a monument in
keeping with the Lincoln Memo
rial and the Washington Monu.
ment for Jefferson.
When the Robinson resolution
is discussed in committee it is also
expected that the McCarran plan
to build stadium and audito-
rum, together and the Davis plan
to set up huge high school unit,
may come in for some considers
ton.

Says:

(Ken Murray is nOW appearing
in person at the Earle Theater.)
Well, I've been spending sew
eraI days here in the seat of our
government and l simply can't
help but marvel at the changes
that have been made in this city
during the past few years Re-
pubIicans are so scarce l was
almost prompted to ask my good
friend, ]. Edgar Hoover, to have
one of his G-Men point one out.
However, several diplomats
were pointed out to me and
when 1 remarked that they were
a strange looking bunch, my
guide answered you'd be, too, IL
you had to go around all the
time with your tongue in your
cheek"
One of the most important
thOrOughfareS in the new build
ing program here is called Con
SitutiOn Avenue" +. And strange
to say it's just as far from the
White House as the Supreme
Court is.
Naturally it's a tough town
for a comedian to play -. With
Congress in session there's too
much competition.
