SHUN OUTING

.40tGEmoSAON1A NOWB SeEVteO
House leaders today denied that
any member had refused to accept
an invitation to President Roose-
velt's Democratic outing on JET
ferSon Island, Chesapeake Bay, be-
cause Of differences with the Chief
Executive over policy.
Representative Wallgren CD Of
Washington, one of the 16 assist.
ant House whips, admitted, how
ever, that he had been given q list
Of more than 100 Representatives
names for checkupto see why they
had not accepted their invitations
to the party pow-wow scheduled to
begin Thursday and last three
days. The list, he said, was given
him By Majority Leader Rayburn.
Wallgren said:
''My checkup so far shows that
about 20 members can't accept
because Of previous engagements,
but about 80 have indicated to
me that they will accept. ] ex-
pect to complete my report some
time today and turn it over to
Mr.. Rayburn."
Representative Boland CD Of
Pennsylvania, House whip, was EN-.
phatic in, a denial that any mem
Der had refused an invitation be-
cause of differences with Mr..
Roosevelt. Other Democratic mem
bers, however, revealed that there
had been a move afoot to give the
island parley "the absent treat
ment because we resented reports

Greenbelt out of the low-coSt

with the project swiftly nearing
completion, the decision must be
made in the next few weeks as

DR.. Wendell LInd, RIA director
Of family selection, explained 1T

soon make their decision as to
whether interest is to be collected.
Operated as q low-cost housing
project, the 900 family units yield
ing $500 to $500 each in rentals,
would bring in approximately
$3.50, 900 q year. In 40 years. at
this rate, the gross yield would be
$14,400,O00. But this does not
allow for vacancies, operating
costs, repairs and similar expenses.
f, Interest Boosts Rent
AS a low-cost housing project,
the community would be limited to
persons in an income group rang
ing from $1,000 to $4,000, accord
ing to original plans.
But if the Government is to
collect 8 per cent interest on its
investment, the rentals would soar
to 5000 to $1,000 a year. taking
the project out Of the low-cost
housing field.

international Army Events
Headline Greatest Card
of Modern Times,
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS. Jr.

n YEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 3.-At
nj o'clock this morning a
IN parade of tiny a,yeaf.old
hackney colts and fillies
pranced into the gayly decorated
arena Of Madison Square Garden to
set in motion formally the wheels of
the greatest National Horse Show Of
modern times.
Tonight was to see the beginning of
the real bombardment OF grandeur
with approximately 10000 customers
taking in the first round of the inter-
national three-day team jumping and
the other choice items on the opening
list. Altogether more than 100000
spectators are expected to visit the
Garden during the nationals 8-day
run.
The military teams which will pa
rade forth tonight, escorted by New
York's famed squadron "A" and the
18th Infantry Band, are those Of Bel
GUM, the Netherlands, Ireland, Cana
da and the United States. Down in
the tack rooms yesterday the talk
was all about the great Irish horses
and the probability that they would
clean up in both the team and indi-
vidual military events. Maybe So but
too many of the local wiseacres failed
to see that battle between the Ameri-
can and Belgian teams in Washington
not so long ago.

doesn't need to be beautiful. Which
brings to mind the fact that the
United States Army's Dakota, the
Belgian Army's Ibrahim, and this
privately owned Jimmy Brown, prob
ably the three greatest individual
fencers at the show. couldn't get by
any kind of judge at all on confirma-
ton; wouldn't matter If they entered
half-bred, heavy draft, hackney or
whatever sort of class. Their beauty
Is In their deeds, heh-heh.
Lady Wright says, by the way, that
she hasn't the faintest idea what
might be Jimmy Browns breeding.
Obviously it was nothing even dis
family kin to thoroughbred. She got
the animal four years ago, when he
was IL years old, from lady up in
Scotland Which reminded us that
We never knew before that the Scotch
owned such things as jumping horses.
Another little item quite educational
to us. If not for you. When asked
if Jimmy Brown ever had been to the
indoor shows before. she looked quite
startled and said, But OF course, the
Olympia, in London. That's where
he made the great Jump. And it is
just as much indoors as this"

Glamour Stands Out.

THE military has large following
Of course, at every national, but
it must not be forgotten that saddle
horses, driving nags and hunters also
draw at the box ONCE, the public being
inclined to regard one kind of flashi-
ness as almost as beautiful as the
next. Undoubtedly the finest stables
in all fields are represented here this
year, and to the able and the fortu-
nate will go rewards that run as high
as $1,000 in the big stakes-very
handsome change on any circuit.
More than money, than thrills or
spills, the National has glamour.
There it is, an overworked word, but
the right one-the glamour that
inspires veterans of international COM
petition the world over to stand quak-
ing in their boots by the in-gate: the
glamour that causes the winners of
classes to ride out of the ring smiling

steel themselves visibly, to avoid
weeping or shouting, when the mill
tary teams ride out in all their glory
with brass band swinging to march
