Welfare Board Appointment

TNHE District Commissioners to be congratulated on ap
Il pointing Mrs Louise Berner King to be member of the
Board of Public Welfare succeeding Mrs Charles Goldsmith
who has resigned after many of valuable service
Mrs King has long been active in local social welfare work
as was her father the late Emile Berliner before her
She has thorough knowledge of the work with which the
board deals and with the problems confronting all
those engaged in trying to aid those who fall into distress
That she has consented this board is another evil
dence of the unefsh spirit Mrs King has manifested in
multitude of offices with various civic and phlanthropc
CARNATIONS.
The resignation of Mrs Goldsmith deprives the city of the
services of who has been active in its affairs for years.
Appointed to the Board of Public Welfare when it
gained in 1926 Mrs Goldsmith elected it's secretary and
has served continuously in that position since.
Her actions member the Board have been character
lied by broadmnded sympathy for those who under
the of the community and by intelligent appreciation
of the relationship of the underpriveged to the taxpayer
Her burdens have been heavy and while the community
regrets her departure from the board wishes every
joyment Of EGl-earned rest.

home!
Before marriage, a girl gets
enough preliminary practice TO
prepare her for the long endur-
ance test that's coming. She
begins by waiting for man to
call her up; waiting for him to
invite her out; waiting for the
loye-idea to break through his
"armor.proof" defense mocha
nism-and sometimes, waiting AZ
the church until the best man
has braced him up and got him
there.
After marriage comes the post
graduate course in the gentle art
of WAITING. ANY woman not
born with the resigned and plac-
id soul Of a waiter" was not
born to be happily married. It's
a case of waiting for him to
come to breakfast in the morn
ing; waiting for him to get home
to dinner at night; waiting for
him to grow up and stop
PLAYING games-and finally wait
ing for him to slow down, re.
member his rheumatism, and
stop thinking Of himself as q
Don Juan. And that's SOME
wait!
The most foolish thing a girl
can do is to lie awake nights
wondering what has happened
to her current man-just be-
cause he hasn't shown up or
called up for a week. NOTHING
has happened to him-except
possibly q new blonde. Or his
old frat gang have ''got him"
Or he's gone fishing.
Nothing ever DOES happen to
them! Especially, when you're
afraid something has. Many
a discouraged and waiting wife
has sat by the radio and listened
with fear and trembling-dread-
ing to hear her wandering

good husbands who die young

ances of Representative Hatton
Summers, chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, he rates as
one of the most modest men in
the House.
In discussing his remarks he
said:

The only charge that could be
made against him about being
smart aleck" is that he has a
fine sense Of humor and whole
bagful Of very funny Western
stories which he dragS out every
once in awhile.
But, when he made his speech
on the Supreme Court no one
thought he was being smart

AND so BACK to Senator
Copeland, whose gesture on the
Senate floor he hopes is pro-
phetic - referring, Of course, to
his plea for recess during the
summer.
Under the rules abided by he
had the floor when the Senate
met Wednesday. On his desk
was a pile about two. feet high
Of his notes and references on
the speech that he was making.
At the conclusion Of the ses-
sion he turned to his secretary
and said:
Here, take these up to my
office and put them some place
where they will gather dust. I
don't think I will need them

REPRE- SEN TATIvE SOL
BLOOM, the man who is
credited with making George
Washington famous for this
generation, is now engaged in
doing the same thing for the
Constitution. He has written a
pamphlet all about the Constitu-
ton, to be. used in connection
with the Sesquicentennial cele-
bration Of the signing of this
document.
Now, Representative Bloom
knows a lot about publicity and
a lot about theaterS and show
business and such, SO his heart
must have been warmed quite
a bit recently when several Mem
bers got UP on the floor Of the
House to question him quite
closely about the book.
Before they quit he had the
incest bit Of advertising for his

The Washington times., 1937-07-16

There is little likelihood that the report will lead to
Congressional action the problem at the current
session.
Like its predecessors this report will probably merely
project the real settlement of the problem few
years into the future leaving major disaster the
only means of forcing settlement.
The commission, which labored over the matter for
about fourteen months, apparently has compromised
itself into position which promises to make its report
merely the subject of prolonged and bitter fight.
1t is unlikely that the organized pilots of the airnes
will find it the definite and certain plan for improve
ment of facilities which they demanded few days ago
under threat of refusing to land planes in Washington
There is little disposition to find fault with Camp
Springs technically air terminal
IT is probable that the commission is correct in its
belief that adequate and safe airport of proper sze
could be developed there.
But such airport could be developed at any one
of hundreds of sites between Washington and Baltimore
And the Camp Springs site is just available to
Baltimore as it is to Washington.
Establishment of the airport at Camp Springs which
is at least thirty minutes driving distance from Wash
ington, would destroy the principal factor of Washing
toms air traffic.
That factor is the heavy use of airplanes between
Washington and New York.
A Camp Springs airport would add half an hour to
that journey, which would unquestionably lead many
prospective plane passengers to make the trip by other
means.

SEEM TO BE LIKELY TO DESTROY 1T.

Little doubt exist from study Of the records
and the report of the commission that that body was
hopeful that by suggesting Camp Springs site it
might avoid the fight which previously has centered
around the respective merits Of Washington-Hoover
and Gravelly Point.
It has only accentuated that fight however, by going
far from the city to drag in another possible site.
The speed with which the report has been attacked
by all interested parties is only what could be expected
It is deplorable that the struggle to provide the
National Capital with proper airport should have
been fruitless for so long
It is regrettable that the struggle should give prom
Use of being even longer.

Whose Airport?

THE report of the District Airport Commission,
Il ommending establishment of an airport for Wash

National Capital has added fuel to the fire which has
been burning for more than ten years.

mise and that Senator Robinson,
to whom the President gave the
task OF drawing up an amendment
to win majority of votes in the
Senate, has done such a good job
that even opponents of any SUI
prenle Court change admit that
the measure will pass. They re-
port that Senator Burke has seven
debating teams Of five sena-
tors each, with one group pre-
pared to hold the floor a day at a
time. Inasmuch as there are
Ithirty-five or forty senators

oppose any Court measure to the

possible to apply the little used
cloture rule that the Senate wrote
on its books in 1917 after the Gee
brated filibuster Of twelve mem
bers against the armed mer-
